Once we know that it is all really up to us- that is, that we are creating our own realities with the thoughts we think- more of the things that we want to have in our lives do show up more often. And many of them show up very quickly. We are receiving more energy from the earth and the Universe, and many of us have chosen to receive and use that new, powerful energy. Despite what feels like a very chaotic environment right now, we are actually in a position to benefit hugely from the energy upgrades we are receiving. And when we consciously allow that new energy in and act from that enhanced state, we also help others receive more of what they choose to have in their lives. Knowing that feels very good to me right now.
I’m not suggesting for a moment that nothing that feels like a challenge occurs for us when we wake up to our absolute power as creators and use this enhanced energy. Yet, I can honestly say now that not only are things showing up instantly for lots of my clients and for me, but the “challenges” are becoming a little less challenging. Oh, they still show up, yet less often. Once we commit to focusing on our mindset, our vibration, and the things we want in our lives, the perceived challenges often turn out to be exactly what we needed to learn. The challenge shows us what was likely slowing down our ability to allow our desires to show up quickly. What was once an obstacle actually starts adding to our momentum in creating the things we’ve been wanting in our lives, often for what feels like a long time. 
I mentioned in my new book, Next-Level Manifesting—When Miracles Become the New Normal, that things I have barely realized I wanted have shown up as if I had a magic wand or genie granting my wishes. I mentioned a simple but excellent example because it wasn’t dramatic or life-changing, but it just felt really, really great. That particular instant manifestation led to an even greater expectation on my part that I do get to have what I want and that an arduous journey will not be required. What made it an even better experience than it might have been is that I had barely considered it when it happened.
I was walking in my yard (probably getting the mail or something exciting), and I thought, “I’d really love to cut some flowers and take them inside and make an arrangement, but I need to get back to work.” Within seconds, seriously, my next-door neighbor appeared in my yard with a vase of gardenias she had cut from her garden just for me. Um, wow. Was it life-changing? It wasn’t life-changing in the way we normally think of as big, significant, or affecting my well-being in a dramatic way. But when I reflect back now, it was life-changing in perhaps an even more important way: it showed me a perfect example of how all of this can be so much easier. It also showed me that when you think of something you’d like without a lot of “resistance,” those thoughts of why it’s not likely to happen or is going to take a very long time- it can be that easy! Although I’ve known that for a long time, this is something I now KNOW. And I do love it when that happens.
We can read a book, or listen to a podcast, or have a great conversation and feel like we really “got it.” We have something new in our repertoire, and we now know and understand it. Later, we read a similar version of that idea, or hear a new take on the same idea, or experience something like an instant manifestation, and we think, “Oh, I knew that, but now I REALLY REALLY KNOW THAT.” Nearly everyone I’ve gotten to know on a deeper level and had a meaningful conversation with has mentioned the phenomenon of knowing something to be true and then having an experience that demonstrates that now you KNOW IT TO BE TRUE.
To be in this receptive state where things can happen for us in an instant, we need to pay attention to how we are thinking and how we are vibrating. We don’t have to be perfect. We just need to lean toward positive expectations and, more importantly, KNOW that everything we want has already manifested. We’ve been heard. The Universe, Source, God, and our team of spiritual helpers are simply arranging all the moving parts so the things we want can connect with us. If we know that the things that matter to us are DONE and are just being arranged in the best way, we have already gotten much closer to receiving them in our lives in perfect timing. It no longer feels like we have so much hard work to do to create those important things that we think would make our lives so much better.
We merely need to pay more attention to what we are assuming about the fact that those desires are done, finished, ready, and actually waiting for us to have thoughts that carry the same vibration as those desires. When we assume they are done, we’re not constantly taking score, wondering if they are even possible to manifest or whether we’ve done something to interfere with creating those desires. We’ve already created them by deciding that we know what we want and that they are on the way.
So, our mission is not to work hard at trying to figure out how we are going to make it happen, how it even can happen, when it can happen, but to continue maintaining the faith that our desire is coming to us and it’s likely coming sooner than it might have before we knew what we now know. I have found myself thinking of this whole process as more of a mission, an exciting mission, rather than a journey filled with obstacles and blocks. I’m fairly certain that one of my grandsons immediately telling me we have a “mission” the minute he gets to my house has led me to focus on being on a mission. Yep, who knew how many “baddies” could show up here and would need to be taken care of by using our own handmade monsters and a sleeping potion? The baddies are relentless. The idea of lining up with our desires as our “mission” just feels so much more like an adventure and one that we are up to, and that we will succeed!
There are a couple of other essential and helpful components of our mission that help it all to transpire more seamlessly and with less angst and more excitement. I’ll share those in my next post because they deserve their own moment so that we can say “Oh I thought I got that but now I really get that.” These new approaches are truly NEXT-LEVEL.
The flowers showing up as a gift the moment I thought of them was wonderful, and things like that are happening more and more often. I’ve looked down at my phone while in my yard and read something inspiring, then looked up and a huge butterfly immediately flew over my head. I called a person on my neighborhood list who had reported her cat missing for hours in the middle of a wild thunderstorm. I was naturally going to volunteer to go out and look around, but as we were talking, I heard her say, “OMG Minna, you’re back.” I am not saying that my making that call caused the cat to show up then but hmmm. . . One of my clients said I should give myself more credit, so I’ll leave that one open. Some of the instant miracles have even involved technology; that hasn’t always been my strong suit, but who knew that an Internet outage could be repaired with only visualization? Yep, after talking to many tech people from a company that shall not be named, who tried numerous fixes, and concluded that I needed a scheduled appointment at my home, which I was not at all excited about. Also, I had run out of patience with having no Internet for days. I got serious and just said, “Enough,” and then asked my Google speaker what the temperature was. When Google responded for the first time in a week, what I felt is hard to describe. I then canceled the tech support appointment that was due at my home. Done.
Some of those things have made me feel like I can literally do anything and have anything. I’m the creator. I knew that before but now I KNOW I AM THE CREATOR and that things really can be so much easier. And, I’m on a mission to share that with anyone who is interested in having just what they want in their lives with much more ease.
If you are at all new to these concepts, which probably doesn’t apply to most people reading this post, you might want to read How to Allow–Using the Law of Attraction to Allow Your Natural Well-Being, the first book I wrote that won an award for Best of Books on the Law of Attraction. It definitely creates a running start for exercising your power as a creator. Next-Level Manifesting—When Miracles Become the New Normal takes some of that knowledge to the next level, and both books, as well as You’re Not Stuck (in case you are feeling stuck), have a link on my website under books. 
If you’d like to have more of a one-on-one mission to create more of the things you want in your life now, you can reach me on the site under Coaching, and we can discuss whether that might work for you. There will be no baddies involved!
