Taking a Leap: Why you must move on your dream

In March of 2015, I took a Quantum Leap. I walked away from over 11 years in the Virginia/Washington D.C. area and an expanding national career to move home to Michigan for a calmer lifestyle and a career on my terms. Overall it has been the best experience, though probably one of the more crazier things I have done.

31n4uXXo-cL._SY344_BO1,204,203,200_Today I read a really amazing book called you² by Price Pritchett. It’s a short 36-page book that is packed with powerful information. I’ve studied the Law of Attraction, quantum physics, and manifesting mindsets for over a decade. But I love how this simple book put it all into perspective. As I read it, I kept saying I did that, that problem is happening now, I need to do that, etc. As I read it, I realized that I took a massive Quantum Leap last year and I continue to leap every day.

So what is a Quantum Leap? It’s doing something different than the past; it’s a major change in your way of thinking; it’s having faith, taking action and THEN figuring it out as you go along. It’s knowing what your end result is and taking action towards it  (not just thinking about it). A Quantum Leap is contrary to the status quo, playing it safe, or waiting for things to be perfectly lined up before you make a move. A Quantum Leap is action … it’s a leap even when you’re not ready!

I’m a big fan of vision boards, writing out goals and action steps (because you are more likely to succeed when you write out goals and action steps), engaging in personal development everyday, tapping to remove blocks from success, working with energy tools to keep my vibration high and aligned with my goals, and positive manifesting. And all of that is fantastic to get you to the place where you know what your goal is. But to achieve that goal, you have to take action even when you don’t feel ready.

One of my goals was to create a healing business. I had no clue how to run a business or how I would do it while I had a full time legal career, but I didn’t let that stop me. The first thing I did was to come up with a name … Manifested Harmony! Then the next thing I did was to incorporate. That was 5 years ago this month! Then the next step was a website. Then the next step was a Facebook page. And it’s just been one step after the next. Nothing is ever done or perfect. But if I waited then Manifested Harmony would not exist, or the 50-some classes and workshops I’ve taught would not have happened. And you would certainly not be reading this. Quantum leaps have a just do it attitude and things always work out.

But my big Quantum Leap was moving when in reality it did not make a lot of sense but it felt right. Here’s what I’ve learned in my Quantum Leap:

  • When you know your end goal, take the first step (any step) and get the process moving because moving is progress towards that goal;
  • We are conditioned to believe we must have every step planned out when doing something new but all that means is that you will move slowly, if at all, because you will think yourself out of something amazing or fail to take action because everything is not perfectly in place;
  • When you leap without a net and not knowing the next step but yet it feels right, you will find your way safely to the ground while enjoying the ride because you have faith and faith will show you the next step;
  • You have no idea what you are capable of until you jump and sadly most people do not ever jump in their lifetime because of fear;
  • When you leap you will quickly become comfortable with being uncomfortable, with change, with thinking and doing things differently, in trusting your intuition, and not knowing the next step;
  • But above all else, a leap requires you to take positive action instead of simply sitting back and passively believing that positive thinking will bring you what you desire.

Some people know what they want and where they want to be, but most people don’t have a clue if you ask them. I actually wrote “That’s okay” as the start of this sentence but then I realized that is NOT okay to have no clue about what you want in life. Every person has a duty to figure out why they are on this planet and what gift they have to bring. Whatever it takes, give yourself the opportunity to figure it out.

Although my end goals are still a work in progress, I was one of those people who could see the end result but I could not see the steps to get there. What I knew was that if I waited for the steps (even the first step) to be shown to me, I would never take action and would be waiting a life time to get started. So for those of you who DO know what you want but you are doing nothing because you don’t know where to start, here’s my advice: just do something! It doesn’t have to be perfect (most likely it won’t be). Just get moving and do it today! When you put off taking action, that action has a lower chance of happening.

The steps will be shown when you take that first step. But how do I know what step to take if I take action without knowing the first step? This is where you have to start tapping in to your intuition, gut instincts, inner voice, higher self, God’s voice, or whatever you want to call it. You get signs, messages, ideas, inklings all day long. Take one idea and take action. Then the next inkling will come and you take action on that.

Quantum leaps are not about forcing something to happen; they are not about working harder; they are not about doing the same thing that was successful in the past. Quantum Leaps are about being unconventional, rethinking what you’re thinking, getting out of your way and taking risks. You cannot keep doing the same thing and expect different results. And you cannot keep doing nothing and expect something to happen, right?

if-you-must-doubt-something-doubt-your-limits-quote-1Price Pritchett said, “Quantum leaps cannot be achieved through incremental steps or through ‘more of the same’.” When you keep doing the same thing, pushing and working harder with little or no results, that’s when you need to quit what you’re doing and create space for the better way to come in. But we are such a doing society, right? And this is where going against the status quo can result in great results.

We are all here to create and implement a dream that is uniquely ours; something that will benefit the energy of the planet overall. Maybe it’s something huge like a new invention or a large-scale business, or maybe it’s something smaller like writing a book, or teaching a class on something you are good at doing. For me it’s leaving a legacy where animals (and their people) are safe and well. It’s about ending pound seizure (shelter animals sold into research), ending tax-payer funded animal research, ending pet overpopulation, and my Sheltering Animals & Families Together (SAF-T) initiative (which was a HUGE Quantum Leap idea).

No matter how big or small your end goal, you must move on your dream. It’s not optional, it’s mandatory. When you fail to move on your dream, you deny that energy from benefiting everyone and everything. But most of all, you deny yourself your purpose for being here. And humans crave having a purpose.

I would encourage you to get the book you². It’s a simple read and that could be your first leap towards achieving what you really want!

Manifesting is neither easy nor comfortable

Thank you to my dear friend, Dawn, for being a guest blogger and sharing her story!

Concept of selfManifesting is neither easy nor comfortable.   Sounds daunting, doesn’t it?  But now that I am on the other side of manifesting some amazing changes, my life has become an adventure.

Thanks to Allie, I learned that manifestation is more than a vision board – though that is certainly a helpful tool.  Sure we’ve been told to just put a picture of a mansion onto a cork board and magically we will own that exact house 5 years later, but I’ve learned that manifestation takes a lot of uncomfortable work…on myself.

What I’ve learned through Allie’s classes and her feedback, along with other great sources such as Abraham Hicks and Dr. Wayne Dyer, is that we manifest and attract who and what we are.  Therefore, my hard work included truly evaluating my current surroundings, circle of friends, and circumstance; understand that these are all simply a reflection of who I am; determine what needed to change and improve in my life; then do the hard work.

Once I really delved into self-examination, began to question my belief system, and started making changes, things around me started to change, too.  But here’s what so unexpected: things started to fall away in a way that made me very uncomfortable.  Job, anyone?  Both my and my significant other’s jobs went away due to contract changes.  I fought this, cried, worried, and crunched numbers despite the fact that we both hated our Joe-Versus-the-Volcano jobs where we were taken for granted.

My significant other then had an opportunity in the desert of California, and for some reason the job kept getting delayed.  Needless to say I was constantly working on my vision board pinning words that described the pay, location, hours, etc. of the work we’d like to have.

Then I heard Abraham Hicks say something that I remembered from Allie’s class: You manifest through feelings.  Allie then helped us start from scratch, and our reworked dream job looked like this:

  • I am excited every morning to go to work.
  • I am appreciated by the company.
  • I enjoy working with my coworkers.
  • I feel supported by my company.
  • I am accurately compensated for my work.
  • I feel freedom.
  • I contribute and am appreciated.

Within a few weeks, the California job fell through to our dismay.  But Allie helped us realize that the California job went away, because we were no longer attracting it thanks to adjusting our belief system. (As a side note, we later learned that it was a not-so-friendly working environment.  What a relief to know that we are no longer attracting that!)

After working an enjoyable four-month temporary contract, we were once again living off of savings waiting for the right job to come along.  We were advised to be open to anything, so my significant other considered  jobs in upstate New York, Southern Maryland, Northern Virginia, Virginia Beach, Florida, Nevada, even Abu Dhabi.

At the point of exhausting our savings, he received a call about an amazing job. Within 24 hours he was hired to work all around the world doing what he loves, and I am allowed to travel with him.  He will will work from home when not traveling until he’s required to move to the office location, which just happens to be our number one choice of cities.  We had been trying to move there since we first started this process two years ago.  What a crazy journey!

Note from Allie: I am so blessed that Dawn shared this story. Manifesting is not simply wishful thinking (although that is a good start). It requires making a decision, getting clear and staying focused. Manifesting what you truly desire (not what your brain or society tells you to desire) is not just for gurus, famous people, and people with 6-figures in their bank account … it is available to all of us. Manifesting around you belief system and blocks takes time. But with genuine desire and focus, it can be yours!

Gratitude … it’s more than you think

Gratitude crystals

If you’ve studied the Law of Attraction, you have learned that living with gratitude is one of the primary tenants for manifesting the life that you want. But gratitude is more than you may think it is.

On my Facebook page, I asked how people define gratitude and received some lovely responses:

Sarah said that “gratitude is an attitude, a specific frequency or vibration. I feel it’s very similar to the vibration of love. Both come from the heart and both shield you in an envelope of light and peace for you cannot be hurt or upset of sad when you are grateful. It goes beyond words.”

Ruthee shared that gratitude means “being appreciative of all the little things that might go by unnoticed. The scent of a particular rose, how the shade looks under a certain tree, a koi pond and fountain in someone’s back yard, an adorable kitten or puppy. Or my favourite, while in a pet food shoppe that has kittens for adoption, a man went and bought a few bags of toy mice and gave one to each kitten in its cage. That brought tears to my eyes.”

For Karen “It’s a word that encompasses the total person. The heart is soft and open. There is so much to be grateful for. The mind quiets and the soul shines.”

And from Theresa, “Gratitude to me means being grateful and appreciative for all the things that the universe has gifted me with and being able to recognize it.”

As you can see, gratitude has  many dimensions. Gratitude  is more than manifesting the things that you want. Having gratitude that you snatched a good deal on stuff on Black Friday is not the true meaning of gratitude. That is more about “thinking” gratitude. Gratitude is a decision that you make on how you want to live your life (regardless of what may manifest). It’s a decision that you want to live your life with joy, appreciative of little things, being present, being of service, recognizing all that is good, and refusing to focus on what is negative.

GratitudeGratitude is truly a way of life. It’s not a conscious act; it’s engrained into your soul and cells as who you are. Because if you ARE gratitude, you will attract in more to be grateful for. When you ARE gratitude, you actually begin to live your life.

So as we approach Thanksgiving, you may embrace or grimace at the traditions of being thankful for what you have. As you give thanks, make an unshakable decision that you will BE gratitude, you will LIVE gratitude, and you will EMANATE gratitude. Then watch how miracles begin to unfold in your life (and email me about them!!!).

In gratitude to you and wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Vision board challenge

VisionboardIf you have done any work with the Law of Attraction to clarify your desires and work to manifest them, you have invariably created a vision board.

A vision board is something visible that you create to give you a visual of what you want to manifest. It’s a way to have a frequent reminder to focus on what you really want because the Law of Attraction brings to you what you put your focus on the most.

Vision boards are as different as the person creating them. So this week I am giving you a fun little challenge: turn up your creative juices and come up with an innovative vision board!

Here are a few ideas of the format for a vision board:

  • Vision board on a computer screen
  • Vision board pasted onto paper or card board
  • Vision board on a beautiful decorative backdrop
  • Vision board on your refrigerator
  • Vision board on the side of a file cabinet
  • Vision board on your bathroom mirror

Here are some ideas of what to put on your vision board:

  • Positive affirmations that you create
  • Positive affirmations contained on beautiful cards
  • Newspaper clippings
  • Photos
  • Your intention list

ScanThe purpose of the Vision Board Challenge is two part: (1) this is a good exercise to help you get really clear and visual on what you want to manifest and (2) I am looking for some creative and inspiring vision boards to include in my Law of Attraction classes.

If you would be willing to email me a photo of your vision board, I would be honored to add it to my classes (with or without your name, you choose). So be sure to email me your photo no later than Sunday at 5pm eastern.

So decide what you want on your vision board and then come up with an innovative, bizarre, outrageous or unique way to showcase what you most desire. I am so excited to see what you create!!

Happy Visioning!

What’s your Vibe?

Thoughts become things

When “The Secret” movie and book came out in 2005, it brought the Law of Attraction to mainstream society. But did you know that the Law of Attraction, like other Universal Laws, has been around since the beginning of time. Whether you believe it or not, whether you consciously and deliberately work the Law of Attraction or are unaware of its workings, it is present in your life every moment. How do you know it’s working … just look around your life and what you see is what you have attracted. Ouch …. That can be a bitter pill to swallow!!!!

The Law of Attraction tells us that like attracts like. The Law of Attraction is documented in numerous religious and historical documents, including from pioneers and leaders who understood that your energy vibration (your vibe) emits from you out into the world, matches up to vibrationally similar people/situations/events/things, and draws those back to you. So if you have a grateful, positive, upbeat outlook on life, you will vibrationally match to similar things and draw more of those good things to you. On the other hand, if you look at life negatively, through suspicious lenses and have toxic thoughts about yourself and others, then you will match up to other negative/suspicious/toxic things and can draw those in. So whether you are positive or toxic, you will surround yourself with a lifestyle that validates what you think, feel and believe. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I know people who live a blessed life because they deliberately work the Law of Attraction in their lives everyday (whether they know they are doing it or not); I also know people who do not believe in it and think it’s a bunch of hooey. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and they have their own path in life. I’m obviously a believer (after all, I’m a Certified Law of Attraction Counselor) and have seen how I have drawn blessed things into my life, as well as things that I really didn’t want. Just like the Law of Gravity works in our lives even though we may not understand it, I know that the Law of Attraction equally works whether we understand it or not.

So, if you have read or watched “The Secret”, or studied the Law of Attraction, have given the process a try, but have not received what you wanted to manifest, don’t give up! There is a specific process for mastering the Law of Attraction and that, once learned, will become a natural part of your life and you will manifest your desires (some quickly and some over time). So if you want to learn more about this process, I have two ways to help you:

1)            Sign up on my website (the box in the right hand column) to gain instant access to my Members-Only page for Energy Emissaries! This page is chock full of articles on the Law of Attraction, posters, and even an hour-long video on how to achieve financial stability with the Law of Attraction. I will never ever ever give your name or email address to anyone, so registering is safe with me!

2)            Sign up to take a 5-part online class called You are Your Thoughts: A better life through conscious manifesting. For $69, you can pace yourself through five 90-minute online webinars and download loads class resources and fun practical projects. I walk you step-by-step on how to identify what you really want and then how to manifest it. It’s a fun class so I encourage you to give it a try!

Enjoy the Journey

Most people have goals and desires that they want to achieve in their lifetime, or this year, or even this week. These goals, when driven by passion, drive us to achieve them. And when the goal is reached, the joy of arrival is often short-lived because then a new desire is born and we start pursuing that. Does this sound familiar?

When deliberately working with the Law of Attraction, we are taught to create our intentions and consciously use our thoughts, feelings and actions to act as if it has already arrived. We are taught to keep our eye on the prize. And that certainly is true and necessary. However, a key component to the Law of Attraction is maintaining high vibrational energy from the creation of the intention through to the manifestation.  It is this journey that we are seeking in our manifestation.

You might be saying what????? Let me break it down … life is a journey, not an event. I think we all can agree on that. Each time we create a goal and meet that goal, it is quickly (and often immediately) replaced with another higher goal, and then another, and then another. Humans are never satisfied because once we achieve something, we want something better. It’s called growth. And if we’re not growing, we’re dying.

In the Law of Attraction, it is often reaching or maintaining a high emotional vibration that takes us off track and stops us from manifesting our goal. We second-guess and let fear intrude. Yet we know that if we cannot act as if what we want has already arrived (through the use of our feelings, thoughts, and actions), then we will not manifest our goal. We must have the feelings in place before the thing can ever arrive. And when it arrives, we feel fantastic, right? In fact, it is the feeling of what the thing does for us that we really crave. When we feel exhilarated about something to come, that is the real manifestation. And when we feel that, the tangible thing must arrive. As so bluntly stated by Abraham through Esther Hicks, The unfolding of the events to get us to good feelings and staying there in good feeling IS THE emotional manifestation to bring in the thing that we desire. And in that process, we must be diligent to not kill this emotional vibration with negative thoughts.

In simple terms, emotions before the physical manifestation. You must feel, not think, your manifestations into reality. Which means … enjoy the journey and you will reach the end result faster! After all, if we wait to enjoy good feelings until the arrival of our goal, we will not have a pleasant journey, and we will likely not receive what we want. So enjoy the day-to-day, step-by-step journey!

Want to learn more? I am launching my first online class. It’s called You are your thoughts: A better life through conscious manifesting. It’s a five-event class limited to only 25 people! It begins Sunday, March 31st at 1:00pm and will be held for 5 consecutive Sundays for 90 minutes. You can learn, chat with like-minded people, and ask me questions! Register here before the spaces are gone!
