Wish, Wonder, Watch

Wish.  Most of us have been told not to bother; that wishes never come true or that you have to keep them secret.  But that’s not true.  Wishing is the fastest, easiest way to align the power of your intention with the strong energy of your heart and the transformative tool of the spoken word.  This combination quickly changes energy potential into matter for you to enjoy.  It makes spirit manifest, bringing heaven to earth.

Why the Law of Attraction Doesn’t Always Work

But if you’ve been trying to use the Law of Attraction to make your wishes, you might be frustrated in what you’ve received.  The problem is that the Law of Attraction assumes that there is just one thing that energetically matches what you’ve asked for, and that isn’t the case.   For example, if 100 people wish for the winning lottery ticket, only one can win.  That’s not the Law of Attraction–that’s luck.  Or if you wish for a perfect love relationship, the word “perfect” may come energetically loaded with what you need to perfectly experience your own imperfections so you can eliminate them.

In other words, the Law of Attraction always gives you a match to how you are vibrating, but not always the specific object or person you say you want.

Instead, here are some Fullistic® ways to improve the results you can get from wishing.

Wish.

First: Wish.  Go outside.  Leave your house, apartment, trailer or tent and actually stand beneath the canopy of light in the sky above us.    Look up, and let your gaze land on the first star that catches your attention.  If you live in a suburb or rural area and it’s a clear night, this should be very easy.  If you live in a city where the glare from artificial light obscures the heavens, or if it’s raining or snowing, still go outside, but close your eyes and let your imagination take you above the light poles, power lines and clouds.   Taking this simple action does three things:  1) it tells your psyche that you’re ready and willing to have something new happen; 2)  by removing physical boundaries, you’re also removing mental and emotional ones; and 3) energetically, you’re taking away physical barriers that can interfere with energy flow.

Next, create your wish.  Choose a feeling you want to experience, not an object or relationship you believe you don’t have.   Wishing to acquire something specific usually doesn’t work, because the wish comes from a point of lack–you’re essentially affirming that you don’t have what you want, and both the affirmation and the energy of frustration, disappointment or sadness simply create more energetic barriers to your success.

Instead, wish to expand a feeling that you already have, or the seed of one you want to grow.  So let’s say you have a little money in the bank.  Wish to expand your feeling of wealth.  Or say you’ve had some interesting dates.  Wish to have superficial connection deepen into intuitive awareness of one another.  Or say you’re just starting to feel confident in your job.  Wish for that confidence to open new doors of opportunity that maximize its impact.  Let your wish expand who you are and what you have right now.

You do need to speak your wish, and not just think it.  My favorite way of doing this is the same as when I was a child.  I simply say the rhyme, “Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight.  I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.”  And then I say my wish aloud and end with “And so it is” or “Thank you.” Speaking sends out vibrations faster and more vividly than just thinking them does, and speeds the arrival of your creation.

Wonder.

The next step is to wonder exactly how your wish will show up.  Let your imagination roam free and try to come up with dozens of ways it might manifest.   Or simply say, “I have no idea how my wish will materialize–I only know it will in a way that is perfect for me now,” and leave it at that.  The larger and more expansive you can be with this step, the faster and more delightful the manifestation of your wish is likely to be.   If you start to feel insecure about whether or not your wish will manifest, skip this step and simply rest in the idea that you have planted a seed in the quantum field, and it will grow if you don’t kill it with concern.

Watch.

The final step is the most fun.  Start paying attention to everyone and everything.  You’ll soon start to experience reasons to expand the feeling-wish you chose.   For instance, if you’re wishing to expand your feeling of wealth, you may find a shiny penny in the street or have a friend pay an old debt back.  Or you may have the opportunity to donate to a charity–send whatever you can, because wealthy people are philanthropic.

If you’re filled with wonder, don’t be surprised if something truly awesome shows up, likely in a way you never expected.

If you feel that your wish is not materializing fast enough, it’s likely because you’re expecting one single thing, and are not open to the many ways in which something can manifest.   To distract yourself, use your copy of my book Feathers: 50 Things You Can Do in 50 Seconds or Less to Lighten Up and Set Yourself Free to keep the energy flowing.

Wow!

Let yourself be wowed by the power of wishes to make life feel more playful, creative and fun.   Enjoy!
