Stop Struggling & Manifest What You Want (Finally)
How can we create the life we dream of? Have you tried to manifest an outcome?
Be Clear With What You Want
You must be very being clear about what you want to create. If you are confused about what you really want, how can the universe help you? Sometimes we may think and say we want certain things, but then we end up holding all the energy back. Maybe something that happened in the past is affecting how we feel, or perhaps there is self-doubt. Being very clear can allow the manifestation to happen in a more fluid way.
It Does Work!
I have an example for you as to how manifesting has worked for me in a dramatic way. When I was single and searching for a partner, I decided to write a letter of gratitude to the universe for bringing my perfect partner into my life. I wrote this letter as if it had already happened, with what I was blessed to have in my life, specifically about this partner. Although I never identified a him or her. I would recommend to not to be attached to the outcome when manifesting. Trust the universe. I certainly did not expect to meet the woman of my dreams, Dana, but the universe had other plans for me. Because when Dana came into my life, she was everything the letter had described. This manifestation changed the course of my life and has brought both of us great joy.
Are You Aligned
Make sure you are manifesting what you need in life by being very aligned with what you’re saying. It is important to believe in what you really want. If you have a bunch of bad clutter in your mind and fears about past situations, it can cloud how they believe in yourself. If you believe that you don’t deserve it that you can truly create what you desire then it most likely won’t happen. What has happened to you in the past is still affecting how you move forward. We continually need to ask ourselves am I in alignment with what I want?
Limiting Beliefs
Throughout life we are taught limiting beliefs from our parents, friends, some teachers or ex partners in relationships can all curb our thoughts and opinions. When we hear phrases like, “who do you think you are?” of “Do you think you’re really that smart?”, “You are not that talented.” etc. We tend to carry these beliefs that have been pushed on us by others. Then what happens? We start actually aligning with those limiting beliefs, they start coming true, confirming that limiting belief. This can impede your manifestation process greatly. This brings me to the Law of Attraction, whatever you put out into the universe will come back to you. If you are continually negative, then you will receive negative back. Stop the negative chatter in its tracks!
How To Receive
How can we be aware of what we are putting out to the universe? Are we creating blocks and obstacles for ourselves? To me manifesting sometimes feels like it’s magical, but a lot of this is just having a goal in mind. Publishing my book was my goal. In order to accomplish this I had to ask for and receive help. Receiving is very difficult for some wrap their head around. You must receive in order to allow the great things the universe has in store for you. You must be open to receiving. If you are one that is always doing for others but feel as though it is not returned, you have trouble receiving. When we manifest what we want, we must learn to receive what we were trying to manifest in the first place.

How Letting Go Of Control (and controlling people)
Could transform your life.
What I have been reminded of lately is how many people want to exert control over everything around them. I was in a medium session a few weeks ago and had a client who would not let go of controlling who came though in the session. This client absolutely refused to acknowledge a loved one that wanted to communicate. They really wanted to control the session and the other side by determining who they would acknowledge.
Think about control, could it be controlling someone, something or an outcome of a situation. Are you in a controlling relationship or are you a controlling person? Are you that person that has to see things or do things a particular way? This could be a relationship, job, experience or really anything in life. Sometimes we think that we know what’s best for us or best for somebody else.
The Universe Has A Bigger Plan
We forget that the universe has a bigger plan and if this is you, then you are really going to miss out on the great things the universe has in store for you. By trying to control everything you are living in fear and fear is also what you are also sending to the universe. It’s a bit like a mirror.
Do you want to be more open too connecting with your guides or loved ones from beyond. This will not happen if you’re not willing to surrender to a process. That means you must let go of controlling the outcome.
Trust The Process
People want to control because they don’t want pain anymore. Or they control because they themselves feel unsafe and are untrusting. Sometimes people control out of fear of something bad happening to their loved ones. A safety concern. Many people that have gone through trauma want to control because of that reason. However, if you really want the universe to open and bring you things, are you willing to be more open?
There’s a process to being more open. But it’s going through that process where the struggle exists. Most of us don’t want to go through the process.
Control VS Surrender
How are these two concepts different? By controlling I mean someone who wants know where you are every second, who you’re talking to, how long you’re going to be somewhere, what are you eating, what you are doing etc. Or if you are doing all those things, are you not trusting yourself or that individual. Why are you having a hard time trusting. Surrendering doesn’t mean giving up your power. Surrendering means trusting a process.
Are You A Controlling Person?
If you’re in that situation where you are the controller, take accountability and acknowledge what is causing you the desire or need to control? Why aren’t you trusting? Is there something in your past that has created a need to have to control over another person or all situations. Delve into this a little bit more and be honest and authentic with yourself. On the other side, if you’re in a relationship with a controller, why? What need does it fill?
Does This Come From Fear?
Do you feel as if you’re always under a microscope? If so, then it’s important to ask this question. Is this the best relationship for me? I’m not telling you that you need to make a change, but maybe find your voice. You can be incredibly empowered by finding a way to say “I’m uncomfortable with this” or “this is how this makes me feel”.
Keep in mind, many times, when you find your voice in the beginning, it may be turned around on you. Sometimes you even question yourself. The fact is your intuition is going to tell you when something doesn’t feel right in a relationship, job or whatever the situation. If you are changing who you are to please someone, if you can’t be transparent and authentic and you feel controlled, please sit down and reflect on that.
Be Aware
Awareness is key. Being aware that you’re being controlled or that you are a controlling individual is the first step. Are you trying to control the universe, which we cannot possibly do?
If you want to be intuitive, if you do want that authentic life, if you want to be transparent, what parts of your life are controlled? Is it your thoughts? Your fears?

The Significance of Doors-What is behind?
A few years ago, a good friend of mine, Amy helped me decorate a room with a high celling. I’ve always liked my décor to have a sense of uniqueness. She had been holding on to this very old door for years. Her family wanted her to get rid of it, but she knew she would find the right home for it.
Well, she did! In my home! It hangs beautifully in my office and it is one of my most favorite pieces of art. As I sat in my office this week while I was working, I happened to look up and stare at this door. It made me think about the significance of doors and how it pertains to our lives.
I have clients who are struggling with what is next for them. Many will come see me for guidance or because they have been going through a struggle and they need help with the knowledge of what the future holds and a promise of good things to come.
We normally make changes when our life seems to not be going in the direction we want. It’s a wake-up call to our soul. How we decide to change our course is up to us. Following our heart and leaving the judgement of ourselves and others out of the equation. However, that is always the dilemma. We ask others what we should do when actually our soul knows. Doors open at the right time for the right reasons when we investigate options.
Recently, my oldest son has been trying to find his path and has tried several options, but it seemed the doors kept closing and he was frustrated thinking he had nothing to offer to change his circumstances. Then a door opened. A neighbor had shared with us about an opportunity as an air traffic controller. He had all that he needed to open that door. It has been seamless in the last two weeks and the opportunity has been almost handed to him.
Don’t push the doors open that are not the direction for your calling. Keep knocking on the doors until one open’s without effort. We can have multiple opportunities or just a few, but the path that’s right for you doesn’t have to be difficult, it just has to be there for you to knock.
If you want something, then certainly make the effort. When I realized my abilities as a medium it wasn’t the door I was knocking on. While going through a difficult time, I was told about the practice of Feng Shui. I was told that by implementing Feng Shui into my life and home would change the energy and therefore help to open doors for me and my family. I had no understanding of this culture but wanted to try something to make a difference in my situation. While grasping this new concept, I thought wow I’m going to be a Feng Shui Consultant. But that is not at all what happened, that wasn’t my destination even though I use it in my practice still today. It wasn’t the only door for me. I figured out I could feel the souls of loved ones who had crossed over. I didn’t even know that mediums existed at the time. I was in for a surprise and so was my family and friends and since I began this journey I have never looked back.
The point to me sharing this is to suggest that you never assume your destination, open all the doors and see where it leads you. If you hold onto fear that means you don’t trust the universe and that you are unable to fulfill your calling. Just do it! You can find the people that support you to go for it. Allow the nay sayer’s to float on by.
Oh, one more thing about the door. I just realized after years of this door hanging on my wall, it’s upside down. That tells me and you to look at things from different perspectives to find the key to opening your perfect door.
Are you a giver? Are you tired of giving so much?
Do you ask yourself these questions?
When will I receive more money?
When will I meet someone that is good to me?
When can I have someone take care of me for a change?
The law of attraction says that when you are always giving, people and circumstances will be there and meet you to take from you. Until you learn to receive you may not receive the abundance the Universe wants to give you.
Clients will schedule a session just because they are exhausted. They can’t seem to find a balance in life. They give so much and create a situation where they cannot find a partner that is equal in giving. I call it the “project” versus the “partner”. Those of us that are the ultimate givers are told that giving is a good thing. It is a good personality trait to have but some of us of can’t seem to balance giving with receiving.
I have found that people who constantly give to their families, friends, and co-workers until they are just exhausted will become ill. This is the only way they can learn to stop giving and start receiving. The Universe makes us stop and ask for help. It is a difficult way to learn this lesson. So why not learn it before this happens to you.
Think about this, when a friend takes you out to lunch do you always want to pick up the tab? Are you uncomfortable if they insist? Do you offer to pay the tip, or you tell them you will pick it up next time? Or better yet, if you know they are picking up the bill do you look at the price of what you want to order and then choose something more reasonable? When someone is willing to give to you maybe you accept their generosity instead of feeling guilty. How does giving make you feel. Good right? Your friends feel good giving to you as well.
This doesn’t mean you stop giving, it means that you are creating a balance. The Yin and Yang are necessary for true balance. This Chinese symbol has been around for centuries. It describes that balance is needed everywhere. Just like our sun and moon, if they were not in constant balance, we would not exist.
In the Yin/Yang which color do you think is feminine and which one masculine?
The Yin is the color black, and the Yang is the opposite color which is white. People are surprised that the feminine side is black. This is because we need to receive to procreate, we are born from the darkness, we are the night and the moon. Masculine has to give to procreate. They are external, and they represent the sun and they must give to procreate.
I believe that especially the feminine energy is here to receive. Many women give so much that men have a difficult time knowing how to give to a woman. Women want to feel independent and choose not to rely on others. Independence is awesome, but it can become too unbalanced and we may end up creating a life of only giving. That’s when we become tired, ill and feeling alone. It will continue until you decide that giving isn’t the only virtue or value that makes up who you are.
I actually believe that when you ask others for help or let them give to you, it makes them feel you value and trust them. You are bringing them joy.
Simply put, your life purpose is learning how to change things you’re not good at so that life can be a balance. You will trust your intuition more, your health can improve, and you can learn to love yourself. Is it worth it to learn to receive?
One simple suggestion to try out receiving and to recognize your patterns, when someone gives you a compliment about your hair, clothes, or whatever it may be, don’t play it down. Accept the compliment with gratitude, just say thank you, that’s so kind of you to notice. You may catch yourself wanting to give some sort of brush off like “I’ve had this outfit forever” or “I got it on sale”. Notice how this feels to you. It may feel uncomfortable to just say thank you and accept the compliment.
Until you realize that is it a good thing to also receive you may not receive that abundance you could from the Universe. Learning to receive is a life lesson and a Soul Contract.
Receiving is receiving and don’t throw the gift of it away. Just doing this you can begin to feel what receiving is like. Trust me, it feels incredible!
