In today's five-minute activation,
I'd like to talk to you about the law of attraction and manifestation.
Many times in my practice,
When we get to this conversation on the law of attraction or manifestations,
Patients look at me a little strange.
Sometimes it's the first time they've ever heard about it,
And they feel like it's mystical or weird or confusing.
This is what I do to demystify it,
To simplify it.
First of all,
I tell them,
You've experienced the law of attraction and manifestation before.
You've practiced manifestation when you were a kid.
You believed something so much that you could see it,
Imagine it,
Sense it,
And nobody could tell you that it wasn't true.
But eventually,
You did believe them over your imagination,
And you stopped imagining,
You stopped manifesting.
You did this when you were a kid.
You know how you meet a kid that just knows they're going to be a firefighter when they grow up,
And you can't buy them anything but firefighter stuff,
And they ask you to refer to them as firefighter Billy.
So before you know it,
They're all grown up and sure enough,
They are a firefighter.
Well,
You can do that same thing.
In fact,
You've done it.
You've just probably done it with things you don't want.
We tend to put our focus on things we don't want.
We'll maybe say,
I don't want to be late,
I don't want to be late,
I don't want to be late,
I don't want to be late.
Sure enough,
What happens?
You're late because that's where your focus was.
Shifting your focus to,
I'll be on time.
I'll be in time,
As my good friend Tom Evans says,
Then the universe will bend in your favor to see that that happens for you.
Let me give you another example that may simplify it even more.
Imagine that you have company or maybe you have children,
And they ask you for something to eat.
They say,
I'm hungry,
Can you make me something to eat?
You say to them,
Yes,
I'll do that.
You get up,
You go towards the kitchen,
You begin to prepare a meal.
Now,
As you know,
Preparing a meal takes time.
You've got to maybe cut up vegetables or get all the things out of the refrigerator.
Decide what vegetable,
What meat takes time.
Meanwhile,
While you're doing all the preparation,
The person who asked you for the meal just keeps saying,
I'm really hungry.
Can you feed me?
I'm so hungry.
Oh my gosh,
I just want something to eat.
Can I please have something to eat?
You're in the middle of preparing and you're looking and you're saying,
Don't you see me preparing this food?
Why are you still asking me for it?
You continue and continue.
They continue and they continue to the point where you say,
You know what,
Just take this banana.
Eat that,
At least you'll have some food.
Then maybe after they eat the banana,
They say,
You know what,
I'm okay.
I'm not hungry anymore.
Does this sound at all familiar?
Have you ever asked the universe,
God or source,
Whatever you call it,
For something?
Then you started to beg,
Please,
Please,
Please bring me more love,
Bring me more money,
Bring me more peace,
Bring me more happiness,
Please,
Please,
Please,
And your source was creating it.
It was preparing it,
But you didn't give it time to fully prepare the meal it had for you that would have fed you and nourished you.
So it just gave you a banana.
Even though that's not what you really wanted,
You accepted it and you just felt satisfied rather than fulfilled.
Well,
Why don't you try waiting for the main course,
For the full entree?
The law of attraction takes time,
Takes patience,
Persistence.
Manifestation takes vision,
Belief,
Faith.
If you want to attract something to you,
Believe it,
Know it,
Like you know the sun will rise in the morning.
So you shall know the thing you want,
It's on its way to you.
When you believe it,
You will see it.
It takes patience,
It takes time,
And it takes love to manifest,
To attract into your life,
That which is for your best and highest good.
I share this with you today because I don't want you to just be satisfied,
I'd love to see you fulfill what you want.
That's our five-minute activation for today.
