Manifesting: Being Specific and Letting Go

When “manifesting”, it is often taught that one should be very specific in stating one’s goals. If I want a house with 7 bedrooms and an Olympic sized pool, then that’s what I should tell the Universe! After all, each of us is a unique Soul with unique goals. Yet we are simultaneously encouraged to let go of our expectations and to allow God to bring us something better than we could have imagined ourselves.

In our studies of the Law of Attraction, Conversations with God, and other manifesting wisdom, this seeming contradiction always showed up. We were confused and felt as if some important piece of information had been left out that would help us understand the dichotomy. Is there an ideal time to be specific about intent? When is it in our best interest to just “let go and let God”? Are we somehow supposed to be focused and unattached at the same time?

What I received is that one’s level of consciousness is the key. Variables change between the levels of consciousness, and so the “rules” change, too.

At lower levels of consciousness the ego will most likely suggest a supposed “best” interest. Being ego-based, the Soul will probably not be in full support since it has a far grander goal in mind. Imagine having a blank check, being told to enter any amount, and then filling it in for $5. Our ego minds are wonderful partners, but they are notoriously short-sighted, self-deprecating, and willing to settle for next to nothing! While we occupy lower levels of consciousness – either briefly or long-term – we are simply not capable of perceiving what our highest and best good is. The ego mind has not been quieted, and it drowns out that still small voice inside. Its various arguments for why the dream is impossible will still be quite audible and distracting. All that fear inherent in the conscious mind means that we lack the faith and gratitude necessary to manifest positive changes. Also, diligence in properly using the creative forces of thought, word, and deed will likely be missing. Even if God’s grace allows a person with a low level of consciousness to discern what goals are in her best good, they are unlikely to manifest when the 3 creative forces are not being properly applied. It is in these lower frequencies that one may be best served by simply expecting the “best possible outcome” without getting too specific. Until we are able to hear the voice of our Creator, of our higher self, it is suggested to truly “let go and let God”.

But as we increase our level of consciousness, the variables change again. This is a part of the evolution of consciousness. As our awareness grows, the time comes for us to re-member – while incarnated – how to co-create. Instead of being on the sidelines and gratefully awaiting whatever the Universe brings us, we will be active participants in co-creating our new realities. 

At higher levels of consciousness the ego no longer runs the show, so to speak. This quieting of the conscious mind makes it possible for the Soul’s true desires to be heard. In this scenario, the Soul and the ego mind can be teammates, working to achieve the same goal. This spiritual support fosters a sense of inner peace, making progress towards the goals even easier. The first-hand experience we have gained by this time shouts encouragement to us, replacing the fearful excuses of the ego. Our self-limiting Beliefs have been replaced with a Faith that we are limitless. As experienced manifestors, the Law of Attraction will be engaged to speedily bring to us everything we have asked for: even if it is incredibly specific. In this scenario, we have reclaimed our power as co-creators and take another leap towards our personal Awakening. Yet even those with higher consciousness can simply expect “the best”, as they feel guided. It is at these levels that one can truly discern the path that is right for her, at that time.

Matthew 6:33 says it well: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” In choosing to first develop ourselves spiritually, we automatically make our way into a higher consciousness where all things are possible. We can literally, and rapidly, manifest that 7 bedroom home of our dreams! If you want to clearly hear the voice of your higher self and to manifest a life of continual joy, seek God in whatever ways you feel called. It is from that place of conscious connection that we will always know when to be specific and when to let go.

Thetahealing: Beliefs, Feelings, and Miracles

When we discovered energy healing, reiki and Quantum Touch were all we initially knew about. Quantum Touch immediately resonated with us and served as our launching pad with healing work. We read the book, watched the workshop DVDs, and practiced daily, alone and as a team. The simplicity of this method is refreshing and the effects are undeniable. One essentially just needs to focus all of her awareness on the subject to be healed, and keep it there until her intuition says the process is complete. We both experienced some wonderful healings using that simple formula. My favorite use for the techniques involves getting more physical energy when I don’t get a full night’s rest. During a trip to visit family, I discovered that if I awake and feel tired, all I have to do is perform a self healing with the intent that the energy I receive from Source will energize me. Within 10 minutes I go from groggy to bright-eyed. It still amazes me. Quantum Touch will forever have a place in my “healing toolbox” because of this.

But QT is just one of many ways to understand our relationship to Source, and to affect healings. While we were enjoying Quantum Touch, countless other energy healing modalities appeared and piqued our interests. Whenever one called to us particularly, we would read as much as we could on the subject. The one that kept showing up in my life was Thetahealing. Named and founded by Vianna Stibal, Theta healing is much more than “energy healing“. Instead of attempting to gather, redirect, or otherwise move energy, a Thetahealing practitioner goes directly to Source for information and healings. Now when I first started reading about TH, I was frustrated by this brief description. I wanted an explanation that was concise and understandable without having to first immerse myself in Vianna’s book.  I wondered how the heck I would explain something so woo-woo to friends and prospective clients! The best insight I received is that Theta healing is not a “technique”, but a “way of being”. By entering a deeply meditative state and shifting to theta brainwaves, one is able to personally encounter God/Source/Creator. And that’s where the magic happens. The more I practice, the easier it become to “go up” and be in communication with God. This alone is huge for me, because – like everyone else – I have an ego to contend with. In past meditations I would find myself frequently frustrated by Monkey Mind and it’s chattering: “This isn’t real. You’re imagining it. God wouldn’t talk directly to you. You aren’t a healer”, etc. I think that achieving the theta brainwave state is the key. When I intend to enter theta and be with the Creator, it’s like the ego mind gets turned way down. Each time I enter theta, it just gets easier and I am less distracted by the second guessing of my ego. This is huge. This is how I knew I was on the right path.

After getting a copy of Vianna’s Thetahealing book, I went over it slowly, underlining the parts that grabbed my attention, brought up questions, or seemed to align with other concepts/techniques. (For instance, as I understand it, Thetahealing, Reconnective Healing, and the Oneness Blessing are all quite similar.) I took my time, absorbing each section piecemeal. Unlike the other “energy healing” modalities I encountered, I felt compelled to go slowly and really integrate each new piece of info. After a few weeks of reading the book and sporadically practicing just “going up” rather than commanding a healing, references to Thetahealing popped up everywhere for me. It no longer felt like something I was dabbling in, but an inescapable Soul yearning. I was determined to go further with TH. With a bank account that had really swelled over the last few months (in response to using LoA!), money was no longer a factor in my decision. When I saw a workshop listed on Vianna’s website that was one county north of me and just a few days away, I decided not to let distance be a factor either. (We use a scooter for transportation so long distances can be tricky.) I paid my $500, hopped on a train, and embarked on a 3 day workshop that changed everything for me.

It’s been less than a month since I completed the program, became a certified Thetahealing Practitioner, and made “going up” a part of my daily life. More than ever, I now see TH as a “way of being” rather than a technique or a healing modality. There are a set of techniques that beginners are encouraged to use, such as the visualization that one’s Soul leaves through the crown chakra and is “going up” to work with God on the “7th Plane of Existence“. But at the core, those are just ways for us practitioners to wrap our heads around what’s happening. Something to help the ego suspend its disbelief, because Belief is essential to affect change and to be a “healer”. And as one enters theta more, the understanding of what’s actually happening deepens. The need for those visualizations diminishes. Repeatedly spending conscious time with God has given me beautiful insights into Oneness. That’s what Thetahealing is. Allowing yourself to see the Truth: that everything is connected and we are all Divine authors of our own lives. The more I understand this, the “easier” and more apparent the results are in my Thetahealing work. An “expert” Thetahealing practitioner is like Neo at the end of The Matrix. Because he has the awareness that physical reality is simply an illusion, there is no mental block that claims “hey, physics says you can’t do that!” With that awareness, you could instantly heal an exposed broken bone as easily as you could take a breath.

This is why Thetahealing isn’t just for healing the body, mind, and Soul. In a theta state, the power of manifesting anything is dramatically increased. It can be used to augment the Law of Attraction, because it removes the mental blocks that usually get in the way when you use your conscious mind. (To use Abraham’s terminology, it removes the tree from the path of your car.) At the core of TH’s techniques, the practitioner becomes a detective that identifies those limiting Beliefs that we all hold on some level. Asking Source/intuition and/or using energy testing, you can discover all those sneaky limiting Beliefs that you acquired in this life, from your ancestors, other lifetimes, and at a Soul level. That helps explain why results are often immediate and dramatic. If you had been living your whole life with the subconscious Belief that you “do not deserve good things”, can you imagine how totally different you would be with the new Belief of  “I am worthy of all good things”? Thetahealing can swap out those old Beliefs that do not serve us, and instantly replace them with Beliefs that do. It’s like Jenga: remove the core Belief and all limitations fall away. Same thing with the Feeling work aspect of TH. Conceptually, most of us understand what “unconditional love” is… but do we know what it really feels like? Without having that Feeling as a part of our being, we can not truly understand our God, our purpose, or how to really give/receive love. We’re all missing important Feelings, which is why we experience lives that are less than perfect. At the root of every undesirable situation lies a missing Feeling and/or a Belief that is counterproductive.

One more area that TH addresses has to do with resolving “the 3 Rs” that keep us tethered to the past. As those of you who consciously use the Law of Attraction know, everything is created in the present. Time is an illusion and to create an ideal reality one must recognize that. Being in a theta state means being focused in the NOW. But in our day to day lives, most of us are stuck in the past or fearing the future. With Thetahealing, regrets, resentments, and rejections that have kept us looking to the past can be instantly removed. Using Belief and Feeling work, we are freed from worrying about the future. Together, these techniques eliminate the past-centered thoughts of “if only…” and the future-centered thoughts of  “what if…” This places us squarely back in the NOW where we reclaim our power as conscious co-Creators. That’s where the magic happens!

The final aspect of Theta Healing that I want to mention is that of DNA healing. There is a real focus on the ability to activate DNA, particularly a “Youth and Vitality chromosome” that Vianna was shown while in theta state. No matter where one is on the ascension path, the reactivation of our dormant DNA is essential. (BTW, it’s called “junk DNA” by the traditional scientific community, LOL). This is why so many Indigos, Crystals, and other incarnated Masters gravitate to Theta Healing: they know how important DNA is in the ascension process. When strings of our DNA are reconnected and reactivated, we take a giant leap in our physical and spiritual evolution. Remember X-Men and how new generations just suddenly developed an array of amazing “super powers”? In the years leading to 2012, this is what we’ll be seeing all around us! Just as binaural beats and certain music increase  brain activity, DNA healing and activation produce super-human results that can be measured by EEG. It can heal genetic diseases, reverse aging and create a state of agelessness, and awaken the psychic senses and quantum abilities that are not ruled by “time” and “space”. There are many ways to heal and awaken your DNA, and Theta Healing is an excellent choice. It’s instant and limited only by the client’s Beliefs.

While I still excitedly explore other forms of healing, Theta Healing is definitely my favorite right now. After all, it can heal or create anything. The workshop was excellent for me, but just reading the book can spark much transformative growth. There are no “coincidences” in life, just synchronicities that lead us to the best possible paths. If you have been, or are now, considering studying Theta Healing, go for it! Please share your experiences and thoughts about Theta Healing in the comments so we can keep this dialogue going.

Welcome to the Blanket Truth

We’re all connected.

This video clip from I Heart Huckabees is perhaps the most succinct way we could explain it.

The next question is… how do we live into “the blanket thing” all the time?

How do we remember our interconnection in a world of Brad Stands?

How do we erase separateness consciousness so that we may experience continual joy?

How do we truly awaken into Oneness?

That is the question, the quest of this time on earth. Let’s explore together…

There is much that will be added to this website in early 2009, but until then here are a couple things that we have found to aid our search for personal evolution;
