Snippets of Wisdom number 85.
Discover what holds you back.
You know what you want.
You've made your request to the universe and the universe is supposed to say yes and with a twinkle of its nose it's supposed to appear.
Why isn't your good stuff here?
What's holding up your good stuff?
Frequently I ask myself the questions above.
I have requested what I want.
I try to maintain a good attitude and think happy thoughts but sometimes my stuff just doesn't show up.
What's the deal?
I believe everything is giving us feedback so I start noticing how I'm feeling especially when I'm thinking thoughts in my heart because they can be less noticeable than speaking out loud.
When I notice I'm not feeling as good as I'd like I hear myself complaining under my breath criticizing that person justifying why I am where I am or blaming someone for my discomfort.
When I notice I'm angry I shame myself and guilt sets in.
I want relief.
As usual I seek wisdom from Abraham Hicks.
They had something profound to say in answer to my searching.
Here's what they said.
Complaining about anything holds you in a place of refusing to receive the things you've been asking for.
Justifying about anything holds you in a place of refusing to let in the very things that you've been asking for.
Blaming someone holds you in the place of refusing to let in the things that you've been asking for.
Feeling guilty,
Feeling angry,
It doesn't matter what you call it.
It's all a refusal not a conscious one.
You're asking.
You can't help but ask.
The universe is yielding.
It must yield.
It's a big question folks.
Why aren't you letting it in?
And there it is.
Boom!
I was in a state of refusal to let it in.
Even small complaints can wreak havoc on our vibrational output.
When I was trying to justify anything I'm refusing when I look for someone to blame because I've not accepted that it's all my responsibility I'm refusing.
When I feel guilty or anger I refuse.
Of course I'm not refusing consciously.
They are subtle,
Slight,
Sneaky refusals to let in my good stuff.
I'm asking.
I can't stop asking.
The universe is yielding.
It can't stop yielding.
So everything is set up perfectly to receive except for my attitudes that don't allow me to let it in.
I've gotten sloppy in my thoughts.
I've gotten sloppy for not noticing how I feel.
So how do I shift my refusal into allowing?
I begin complimenting instead of complaining.
I allow instead of justify.
I praise instead of blame.
I shift into gratitude instead of guilt.
I apply appreciation instead of anger.
I make a conscious decision to find anything at all that shifts my refusal into allowance.
Try this the next time you feel that you are being held back.
Release the refusal and summon the allowance to let it in.
Big hugs,
Marianne.
