My Mom always says that God/ The Universe has three possible
answers for you when you come for guidance
1)
YES
2)
NO
And…
3) WAIT
The third one can be maddening. As we sit and wait for… fill
in the blank____________ it can seem like an eternity. I have a best girlfriend
-best selling self help book author Karen Salmansohn I love her. She likes to
think that what you are bringing towards you is on the way, however, it’s simply “stuck in traffic”
We never know why things take longer than we think they
should take. Mom also said “things happen in God’s time, not your time, so
relax!”
My mother has lived a long life filled with disappointment
at one end of the spectrum and big, wondrous surprises on the other. She has
had both failed marriages and great loves, she has experienced huge abundance
followed by tearful poverty only to find herself flush with money again. She
understands the flow of the universe. She knows when to tell her daughter to
chill. I haven’t always listened to her.
I remember one
very painful conversation after a breakup. She got very soft with me and said
simply
“ I wish I had
a time machine, I wish you could sit down with your future self, the one who
already has all of the stuff that you want in life, the partner, the babies,
the house, the great career… I wish that you could sit down with her so she
could spread her arms open wide and say it’s all here for you, just relax and
be patient… it’s on its way!”
Or as Karen
would say “Relax, it’s just stuck in traffic”
Can you be patient? Can you allow the universe the time to
“cook” what you need in the oven of possibility, cook it until it is done to
perfection and just as you ordered it?
Esther and Jerry Hicks’s Abraham
talk about “allowing” can you take the white-knuckle grip off of your idea of
how things are supposed to be and
open your hands to how the universe will prepare them? Most often times they
are even better and more fun that what is in your head, so why not?
I know how challenging this can be but what if they really are
on their way?
Of course you
do all you can do, you visualize, you make sure that your language is in
alignment with your idea for the future, you learn all you need to, write in
your journal, meditate etc. but
then there comes a point when you just need to chill, relax and allow.
What can you do?
1)
Get still
2)
Take 5 deep breathes inhaling for a count of
four, holding for a count of four, exhaling for a count of four
3)
Imagine yourself in a tranquil white room, a
room full of light, a very cheerful room
4) Now imagine that you are sitting in a chair and
there is another chair, empty right across from you
5)
Imagine now that your future self comes to sit
with you, take her/ him in… how does he/she look? What do they tell you? Let it
be light and fun.
6)
Write anything down that you have learned from
this conversation
7)
Chill, relax, and allow
