Imagine what it would be like if everything you wanted to do turned out just the way you wanted it, every time. Imagine all of your passions and your desires effortlessly slipping into your world at just the right time.

Your business…your work…your finances…your family…your relationships…your passions…your hobbies…and anything else that you choose.

People tend to dream. We never seem to be satisfied with what we have. We seem to want more. Sometimes the wanting is genuine, spurred by a pressing need. Sometimes it is wanted just for the sake of the wanting. Whatever the reason doesn’t matter, the universe is infinite and can produce boundlessly. Each person has to define within themselves how they are going to manage the karma that comes along with the receipt of the manifestation of what they are wanting. But first things first…how do you get what you want?

In 1996 when I had my kundalini awakening, I had no idea what manifestation was. I had no idea what to do with my new found awareness. I read all kinds of books, joined some groups, talked to people and learned all kinds of things.

One group I belonged to said that to become better than I was, all I had to do was ask the Universe for what I wanted. This, they told me was what an affirmation was. Repeat it over and over, write it out, stick it on an vertical surface that I would see, pray for it and to make sure I got it, visualize in my mind receiving it.

So I set to and made a list of what I wanted and what I wanted to accomplish. I set time aside every day to practice all the techniques they taught me. I wrote goals and affirmations and I read them three times a day. I did the post-it note thing, I meditated, I visualized, I did it all for almost two years and guess what? Yup, none of it worked.

I went through a tremendous period of turmoil and disappointment. The left brain side of me decided took charge and decided that if I wanted anything I had to do something to get it. So I got up out of my special chair and walked away from the manifestation/visualization thing.

I had spent two years writing goals, I never achieved, reading affirmations that never came true, visualizing receiving what I wanted, that I never got and I started to ask people in the group when the last time was that they got something on their list. Most told me that they were still working on their list and that it would come in God’s time, not theirs. Some had been doing their manifestation process for five years and some as long as 7. At that time I believed that faith was a key element in life and without it nothing would happen.

I had this very weird feeling that in the case of manifestation, all the things I was doing was wrong and somehow there had to be another way. I knew how to fail on my own, after all, I had some dooseys in my life. I didn’t need to re-enforce my failures with affirmations, I wanted to know how to succeed. If life could be just a little bit easier, I would be happy. At the point when I realized what I was doing wasn’t working, I was willing to settle for mediocrity.

Ironically, I realized why the self-help industry was such big business. A whole lot of people were buying a whole lot of rubbish that looked good and was touted to be the best, but didn’t work worth a hoot.

Being newly awakened, and really not knowing the rules, I believed what the New Age community told me – whatever you want you can have. I realized that there were a whole pile of leaders getting what they wanted by preying on the gullibility of their followers. They got all the money and could get what they wanted while the hapless follower was told they needed to try harder. To me, that just didn’t ring true.

When I look at people who are successful, I realize they all have one thing in common. They take action, but it is even more than that. There is something inside them that pulls them on to greater success. It is more than the knowledge of how to do something, which some successful people didn’t have when they started out. It is more like a divine force that sweeps you off your feet and carries you through to the end result you are seeking. It comes from deep inside of you.

Don’t get me wrong. It doesn’t have to be a big, soft, warm and fuzzy energy. It can be, but it can also be very strong , sharp and calculating. It morphs to fit the situation. In my clinical practice, my energy can be very large, very tough and very male. It deals with what has to be dealt with to get a client to the next step in their process. Other times, it can be very soft and seductive, or even very strong and sharp, especially in business. It reacts the same with my process and what I choose to bring into my life. It challenges me to be more than I am and it kicks my butt when I’m not. I call it Inner Strength.
When I decide I want something, my Inner Strength, kicks into gear and gets everything organized. It sets me on a path with a determined force that is unstoppable. Yes, I can putz around and waste time, but ultimately, it will kick into gear and drag me if it has to. But when my Inner Strength and I are congruent, look out.
