Ask, Believe, Receive – A Simple Guide To Manifesting

It seems easy. It is easy but it can also be challenging. Studying the Law of Attraction and learning how to manifest is a life-long journey. It’s important to start out small and never give up! And it all emanates from one thing - gratitude!

Transcript

Namaste everybody.

Welcome to In the Flow with Lori Albert.

So,

Ask,

Believe,

Receive.

You guys know what that is?

That is Abraham Higgs and how to manifest.

So,

When I was a lot younger,

Let's just say,

When I was a lot younger,

A long time ago,

I learned about this thing called manifesting.

And then that led me to learning about the law of attraction and The Secret.

I don't know if you remember the movie The Secret.

Loved that movie.

That actual movie changed everything for me.

And,

You know,

It became wildly popular.

But what happened was,

While the idea in that was fantastic and manifesting and getting your everything that you ever wanted,

All of that stuff was great,

People would try to manifest stuff and then it wouldn't quite work.

Right?

So they got discouraged.

And,

I mean,

I did too.

I was right along this path.

And so then I just stopped trying to manifest and,

You know,

Do all that stuff.

So,

Really interestingly,

I stopped sort of studying the law of attraction for a little while.

But then I came back to it.

And I came back with a vengeance because I'm one of those people,

In case you just haven't realized that yet,

Because once I start something,

It's like,

If it's not working,

I'll give it up and then I'll come back to it because it's like,

I got to figure this out.

Right?

Oh,

Yeah.

That would be manifesting too,

Right?

But I decided I needed to start.

I needed to figure this out.

Right?

So that actually,

At that point,

Is when I found Abraham Hicks.

I found Esther Hicks and started really studying it.

So the concept of,

And if you got online and looked up how to manifest,

There's like a 10-step guide and this and that and everybody has all these different ways of doing it.

Right?

But what worked for me is what I want to talk about today.

Because here's the thing.

I want to encourage you guys to not give up.

When we're working on manifesting our heart's desire,

You can't give up because the universe,

While you can ask,

Believe,

Receive,

It doesn't happen instantaneously.

And we don't want it to happen instantaneously if you think about it.

Because what if you just say,

Oh my God,

I want a million dollars.

And then all of a sudden,

Boom,

You get a million dollars.

Well,

Yeah.

Then what happens?

You know?

I mean,

It becomes kind of like,

Whoa,

You know?

So what I learned through this is the simple concept from Abraham Hicks.

And if you're not familiar with Abraham Hicks,

Then you should Google and go on their website because it's truly exciting and amazing.

Right?

Okay.

So the concept of ask,

Believe,

Receive.

You just ask for what you want.

You ask and you say,

I want,

Here's the thing.

Yeah.

I just use the example of asking for a million dollars.

Don't start out that way.

You will get discouraged because you're not going to get a million dollars.

Boom.

Maybe that one person might,

But you know,

I'm just telling you right now,

You ask for what you want.

I want,

I got really,

And I still am really good at getting parking spaces.

Oh my gosh.

I'm at the,

Well,

I used to be at the mall when the mall was open.

Go to the mall.

I would be driving there going,

Okay guys,

Work it out for me.

Right?

And I will always get some parking space right at the front end.

Interestingly,

My husband,

When we used to go,

He doesn't go to the mall that all that often,

Like at all.

But when we would go at Christmas time,

He never,

We'd park way far away,

Which is actually better because of the walking,

But he would park way far away and,

And because he couldn't find a space because he didn't have that mindset.

Right?

So ask for what you want.

Believe.

You have to believe.

And this is where your heart comes into play.

Your heart comes into play because you have to believe that you will receive it.

You have to believe that it's on its way.

I've told the story before about my Mustang.

I was always driving,

You know,

When my daughter was little,

I was always driving the SUVs and all that stuff,

You know,

Because we had to take around kids and stuff,

You know,

All that stuff.

But you know what?

She grew up.

I wanted a Mustang,

A Mustang convertible.

That's what I wanted.

Right?

So guess what?

I would drive back and forth to work every day and I would open up all the windows of my SUV,

Open up all the windows and just,

I wouldn't close my eyes,

But I would just imagine driving down the freeway that I had a convertible.

And guess what?

It took a little bit of maneuvering.

And yes,

You,

Sometimes you have to,

It's not going to just plop into like,

It didn't just show up in my driveway,

But the opportunity presented itself.

And that's part of it.

Right?

And that's part of the receiving.

This is my interpretation of this.

Right?

And this is what has worked for me.

Ask,

Believe,

Receive.

There's a little bit of work that needs to come in there and you can never,

Never,

Never give up,

Never give up.

Right?

And here's the thing,

The biggest part,

And I know I talk about this all the time and just recently I did a thing where it's,

If you live a gratitude,

A life of gratitude,

That creates,

That creates the believe that helps in the ask,

Believe,

Receive.

Cause if you're just grateful for what you have anyway,

I was grateful that I had a car to drive.

I was grateful that I had a car to drive,

But I wanted the Mustang and I got it.

Right?

So that's the whole deal.

That's to me in the five minute nutshell that we do this in.

Right?

That's,

That's the entire thing.

And I would love to talk to you guys about this more.

I have,

I did have a course and I'm thinking about starting that up again,

Actually.

But there are ways to do this and it's not,

It's difficult.

It's simple and it's difficult.

Right?

So,

But it all starts out with keeping your vibration high and gratitude.

So what do we do?

What do we do today?

Huh?

We're going to close our eyes.

So everybody gets yourself comfortable and close your eyes.

Let's take a nice deep breath in filling our lungs up with beautiful oxygen and release.

Very good.

Very good.

So what are you grateful for today?

Let's go a little bit deeper.

Don't just say the normal little things.

Right?

I have food on the table,

Which we are all grateful for.

Absolutely.

The roof over your head,

The food on the table.

Go a little bit deeper.

What are you really grateful for?

What's really working in your life that you're grateful for?

It doesn't have to be something tangible.

It can be something emotional.

I can be grateful that I'm in a good mood today.

I can be grateful that I had a headache yesterday and it's gone today.

What are you grateful for?

What are you so thankful that is true in your life today?

And the second question of the day,

One of David G's sacred questions.

Who are you when you are at your best?

Who are you being when you are at your finest?

Are you being thankful?

Are you being loving,

Compassionate?

When you're at your best,

Who are you?

I love that question so much because it brings us back to our true self,

Who we really are at our core.

So today,

Our mantra that we are going to say over and over again is,

You guessed it,

Thank you.

We are saying thank you to the universe,

To God's spirit,

To ourselves,

And quietly to everyone in our lives for being in our lives.

So it's basically a blanket thank you,

A thank you of gratitude.

Now if you get caught up and you start thinking other thoughts,

That's absolutely okay.

Bring yourself back though to thank you.

Thank you.

I will keep the time and let's begin.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I will keep the time and let's begin.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank.
