Transcript

Welcome to your wish fulfilled.

To begin,

Just think of something that you love to manifest and create in your life.

It could be a shift in your work,

Your relationship,

Your health,

It could be anything and just imagine you walk into that experience as if it has already happened right now.

Just visualise what you want as if you're living inside that reality.

Noticing what you see,

What you feel,

What you hear and as you embrace this higher experience just notice how you can relax and settle in to that good feeling,

All is well,

Everything is good and just bring that good feeling into your heart,

Into your body,

Take in a nice deep breath and welcome back to your wish fulfilled.

Isn't that a good feeling?

Just tuning into it.

I was talking to someone yesterday,

Helping him go into this experience and he immediately felt profoundly better.

So,

Today we're diving into the difference between fear and faith,

The energy of constriction and expansion and what effect that has on our life in a practical way and how we can come into that expanded feeling more often.

I'll just share a story with you,

Recently I've had two very interesting different experiences related to this with other people and in relation to joining one of our programmes and we see this all the time.

So this one person,

Both of them were in a state of to some degree fear and expansion right,

On the one hand they want to expand into a higher level and to get the tools and the support they need to have the life that they love and to expand their work and to help people and to generate a full time income doing what they love.

So there's that feeling of expansion and then there's the feeling of fear,

What if it doesn't work or I haven't got any money or I'm stressed out or what about this,

Right?

And we have this when we do anything new,

Whether it's a new practice or a new relationship or moving to a new place or going on vacation,

It doesn't matter,

Anything new sort of brings up this fear and faith issue.

So one of the people,

She felt the fear but she was willing to go into the expansion because she knew it was good for her soul and she took the leap of faith and once she was in the programme she immediately felt profound relief and joy.

She said,

Oh my God,

I feel so good.

I heard this from somebody else who joined recently and this feeling of,

Ah,

I've expanded into this higher reality,

I'm going to receive all the tools and support I need and excuse the roosters,

I'm here in Hawaii,

There are wild roosters running around,

They love to expand and let their voice be heard if you hear them on the tape,

On the session,

That's what it is.

So she expanded into this higher state of consciousness and she felt so much better than she has in a long time and she's going to keep expanding.

On the other hand,

I talked to somebody else who was in constriction energy and I helped him expand out and he felt really good but then he went back to constriction and I ended up saying,

Look,

It seems like you're not in a position to take this jump,

I will give you free things to help you just as a gift because my main mission in life is to serve people.

We want to have our students reach 400 million people,

Right,

So we're really wanting to expand and help as many as we can regardless of whether they give us any money or not.

So I said,

Here's a free course,

It can help you with your work,

Help you with your business,

Help you expand out,

Help you make more money,

Help you feel better.

And I thought,

Great,

You know,

Let's just give blessings and then I also gave him some advice on how he could make more money in his business,

Just all free blessings,

Right?

And funnily enough,

I was really quite surprised to hear that he had not,

He wasn't willing to receive the gifts that were being given freely from the heart,

Ended up unsubscribing from our mailing list and I was just really quite surprised to see that.

But actually I wasn't that surprised because I've seen this same thing again and again,

That the people who need the most help are the least willing to receive it,

Right?

And what happens is when we go into constriction,

When you go into constriction,

You might have help at all sides and you can't get it,

You can't receive it.

Now this is wonderful entertainment but the same thing is happening in our own life,

In our own life.

I'll give you a couple more stories to illustrate this.

There was a time when I was literally so depressed and heartbroken from a relationship thing in England that I couldn't get off the floor.

I was lying on a wooden floor in a state of terrible agony,

Emotional agony.

I was so constricted,

I didn't want to see anyone,

I didn't want to go anywhere,

I couldn't leave the house.

I was literally lying on the floor in a state of terrible pain.

And at a certain point after about three months of this,

Right,

I would just get up,

Eat,

Go back,

Lie down,

It was just terrible.

After enough I said,

Michael you've got to get it together,

You've got to get it together.

So I went to the park and I lay down in this field and I listened to these meditations and I just thought I need help,

I'm open to expand,

I'm open to go to this higher level and I lay there in the field and I surrendered to a higher power and I said look I need some serious help here,

I'm open to help.

And after about an hour of just letting go,

Letting go,

Letting the emotions go,

Being open,

Expanding,

Expanding,

Expanding,

I got this huge bolt of power came right down from the sky,

It came right down and I got this message,

Get off your knees and do the things you need to do.

So I immediately felt this rush of energy so I stood up and I ran back home,

Literally ran all the way back home,

Set up a vision board of what I wanted and I just sat in front of that vision board every morning and just felt that I'd attained it and I saw this image of this beautiful tropical place and having plenty of wealth and being good relationships and I held this vision and I think it was about two to three months later,

It might have been even less than that,

I received a message from my friend who had literally bought me a ticket to go to Hawaii.

I hadn't asked for the ticket,

He just bought it,

Had my name on it and it left in 10 days from the day I received that email.

So I was not expecting to go at all and 10 days later I'm actually on a plane going to Hawaii,

I finally get there,

It's like a 20-hour plane journey and I get out of the airport and it's just so beautiful,

The wind is perfect,

It's tropical,

My friend picks me up,

He gives me this big flower garland and this fresh coconut and next thing I know I'm standing on the beach drinking this coconut,

Feeling the waves roll over my feet,

Feeling the sun on my face.

Ah,

What a complete transformation,

It's such a radical transformation,

Halfway around the world.

From fear to faith,

From constriction energy to expansion energy,

Looking at this vast endless ocean,

The waves lapping and a whole new life opened up for me.

Since then I've traveled all over the place but that expanded feeling right,

It was like,

It was just a miracle to go from lying on the floor in my bedroom in this nasty place to being in this tropical paradise because I expanded out.

Right,

This is the power of expanding out and I see this again and again and again in people that I work with,

That if you're not expanding then you're contracting,

You're either in fear which is contraction,

Where you block possibilities,

Block opportunities,

Block situations that can help,

Block good feelings,

Block everything,

Everything is blocked you know and it's understandable,

I mean it happens to me on a fairly regular basis,

I have to expand out on purpose right,

What we're talking about is opening our heart.

I'll give you one more story to illustrate how powerful this is,

When I was in Hawaii right,

I felt great about it but I still didn't have any money right,

So here I am in this beautiful place and I'm like,

I need to figure it out otherwise I have to go back to England.

One of the things that happened to me which is fascinating is I wrote down how much money I wanted,

I literally wrote on a whiteboard,

I want five thousand dollars because I need money immediately,

Then I want thirty thousand dollars all right,

Because I thought if I can get five then I can get 30 and then I'll be relaxed,

I can just relax because I literally came with no money at all and shortly after I wrote that on the board,

I met somebody who wanted to give me five thousand,

He actually wanted to give me six thousand dollars for helping him with some website stuff because I had experience in design and I was like well that's the synchronicity right there,

So I helped him out,

Helped him build this website thing with my friend who's a web designer,

I did the design and then after that he unexpectedly,

He wanted to come and see me and we went for a walk on the beach and I very vividly remember we're sitting on the beach just having a chat and I was in this expanded state and I was very grateful for life and I was just talking about my visions,

Talking about you know what I'd love to create and I was just in this expanded state and he just said to me would you like fifteen thousand dollars,

So I was like to do these things you're talking about,

I said yeah of course thank you,

I mean I thought he might have been joking but he wasn't,

He wired me money and then about,

I can't remember,

A few months later he said you know what I'm getting the message to give you another fifteen thousand to help you out,

Now this is just some guy out of the blue who for some reason wanted to just give money to people who were doing good things,

That's a proper miracle right there,

I didn't know him before,

I wasn't expecting someone to actually just give me money,

I thought I'd have to work for it,

Nowadays of course I have companies set up and I add a lot of value and all this thing but that was someone who believed in me,

He wanted me to start doing things that help people and as a result of that so much other things have been created and he's getting the fortune of that through the blessings and we've given him courses and we've given him all these things now so it's all good but isn't that interesting,

If I'd been in a constricted state I would not have been open to receive that,

I wouldn't have been open to have those conversations,

I wouldn't have attracted that so so many people,

They're in a situation and it's understandable they get into constriction mode,

Oh my god I haven't got any money,

Ah I can't invest in myself,

I haven't got ten dollars to to invest,

So we have to make a decision,

Am I going to do what I can to change my life where I'm at or am I going to be stuck so there's nothing special about me personally it's just that I decided to go from restriction contraction and fear and I had the faith to expand out and be open to opportunities and thank goodness that I did because otherwise who knows I might be some drug addict on the you know trying to get a job for minimum wage right I don't know what would have happened so how can you go into the expanded feeling and how can you get out of fear the first thing is just knowing it's possible that's why I'm sharing these stories because when you hear the stories when you let the stories pour into your mind these are real 100% true stories I'm telling you when you allow that into your consciousness then you think well it's happened to other people who were in a bad place and and let's be honest I was literally bankrupt,

Broken,

Heartbroken,

Lying on the floor,

Totally depressed and next thing I know I'm in Hawaii that is a totally bizarre thing to happen that would not have happened if I'd been constricted so when you realize and this is just just a few stories right and you listen to other people you listen to different teachers and different people you'll hear the same sort of thing again and again and again and again so it's really good to listen to stories like this that's one thing that really helps second thing is to look at your own life look at your own life and think about all the things that have happened to you when you've been expanded and when you have come into that feeling you know what it feels like when you feel ah you feel relaxed you feel at ease you feel like life is good there's possibilities things are going to get better you believe in yourself you believe in life you believe in the future you believe in the economy you believe in other people right there's this sense of yes yes to life yes this is why there's actually so few entrepreneurs and people setting up companies because they don't believe enough they think oh I could never do it oh dear oh dear so they don't try anything you know you have to believe if you don't believe you're not going to try if you don't have faith you won't even do anything this is this is the problem so that feeling there's another word for faith faith is sort of a in a way a bad translation of another way of saying this which in sanskrit is nishj nishj nishj means faith but it really means certainty conviction and deep knowingness so if someone said to you michael could you make a cup of tea you know i'll ask you can you make a cup of tea could you make a cup of tea yeah you're going to say of course i'm 100 certain i can make tea if there's a kettle there and there's you know water and there's tea bags in a cup or there's you know tea in a tea strainer i could definitely certainly without question i can make a cup of tea you're not it's not like well maybe oh god it's going to be difficult but you know you don't have to work yourself up to it can you make a cup of tea of course you can make a cup of tea can you take a breath yes i could definitely take a breath right so there's a feeling of certainty we have to go from being in fear oh dear to being in nishj nishj certainty definitely yes and that's why remembering what you want writing it down again and again and again and having goals that are reasonable to you as well because sometimes like if for example someone said to you michael could you um you know win the marathon the biggest marathon in the world next week do you have certainty about it i would say no because it's an unreasonable goal for me i don't haven't been training for a marathon right how am i going to beat the people who are the best in the world at this this is what they do because that's a crazy goal so sometimes people are setting themselves up for ridiculous things that they can't manage right so if you have a goal that is close to your heart a vision that's close to your personal heart that's coming from the right place we've talked about this in other sessions it needs to come from the right place it belongs to you it's related to your life to your skills to your to who you are it's a bit outside your comfort zone but it's not completely ridiculous if you have that and you write it down and you feel it then you can have that certainty that nishj that belief that faith that expanded feeling right you're going from worrying about things oh it's not going to work oh dear to expansion to feeling that you've attained it's so much more productive use of our energy to expand out so you can just notice the difference between constriction constriction actually hurts your heart it's a bad feeling to expansion now i want to give you a little secret about this it's a simple practical thing you need to eat properly eat enough food sometimes people when they're worrying they don't eat yeah because worrying leads to a lack of appetite doesn't it worry is if you're really worrying and anxious you can't eat that's what happened to me when i was lying on the floor i was lying on the floor and i couldn't eat anything i had to force myself up to go and have maybe a piece of or something and even then i could barely get it down me so it's important to build up your appetite when you do exercise and when you do things that are demanding your physical body which is hard to do if you feel stressed out but you have to force yourself to do a little bit of it then you'll get an appetite then you'll eat then you'll feel better then you can sit down and you can write down what you want you can feel it you can remember the times that you've done it before remember the successes you've had previously remember the stories of other people and the more you can visualize very vividly what you want the more joy and good feelings you're gonna have so let's just take a moment now just to hold the vision think of something you'd like to manifest that is dear to your heart touches your heart meaningful to you and imagine that that's you know that's in front of you and you walk into it so you're in your body this isn't a far away thing you bring it close to you and then you walk into it you step into your body in that new space where you feel really really good and you have different experience of life things have changed around you and within you let's just take some nice slow deep breaths in that space and just notice that expanding feeling you're expanding into that higher reality and you can notice the feelings in your body change gently morph and shift into this beautiful good feeling just relaxing and enjoying that good feeling and just notice your heart expanding getting bigger and bigger and just breathing into that good feeling smiling you can let yourself smile get permission to smile and feel good and just letting go letting go letting anything else that isn't matched with that just let it go and enjoying that feeling and you might want to also today at some point or as soon as you can write down all the stories where you have expanded out and the good things that came from that space because if you look into your life you already have experience with this in many many times maybe you haven't realized how many but when you have that certainty that nishti you expand out you believe and then you take that action and then you notice good things come to you and you open up to good opportunities you open up to good experiences and then good things come from that place so just breathing deeply into that space that space in that state within you letting your heartbeat slow down much love thank you for your wonderful presence stay in that higher state of being raise your vibration into that expanded state and a little final tip is that meditation whether you listen to guided meditations other meditations can really help raise you up and we have a lot of free meditations you can listen to about expanding your consciousness tapping into a higher power receiving the energy so the more you practice going in and expanding the more you come into that feeling and then as you look around your life you'll go oh there's all these opportunities everywhere that i can use there's opportunity here there's opportunity here you're getting messages in your inbox you're getting text messages you're meeting people you're seeing things there's all these opportunities and you see them and you realize i could do that this is coming to me for a reason so take advantage of those beautiful opportunities that you get the ones that you're aligned with and i just want to thank you so much for your beautiful presence have a wonderful wonderful day expanding expanding expanding opening your heart opening your mind being in that beautiful space where you can receive the blessings that life is giving you lots of love talk to you soon
