MANIFESTING AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

 

MANIFESTING AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION  

Because of social media, many think that manifesting and the law of attraction means you   make a wish, and it will appear. Not so. Like all things magical and spiritual, it takes time and effort to do it correctly. 

What does it take to be able to manifest and work the law of attraction? The answer is the most dreaded answer of all! TO KNOW YOURSELF FIRST! This answer is like a knife in the gut to most. I know, I suck! But that is the bottom-line truth of it. And about now, most of you are either cringing, saying I know myself, or discounting the importance and depth of what I mean by knowing yourself. And it raises the question of how knowing yourself relates to manifesting? 

When it comes to manifesting, you have the most success when you know what your focusing habits are like. Things like are you ADD? Can you focus well? Do you meditate regularly with success? Are you prone to impulsive thinking? These questions matter because you will need to develop focusing skills that include these things. Without knowing these parts of how you naturally operate, your manifesting will be hit or miss and may leave you with the impression manifesting does not work. 

For effective manifesting, you also need to truly believe that thoughts are things and have great power in the universe. Any poverty complex you may have can stand in your way as well. So, you see there is much behind the curtain of manifesting and the law of attraction that is not typically discussed. 

I imagine many have quit reading by now and are thinking there must be an easier, quicker way, and are off to find it. Best wishes to you. I and others have found if it comes too quickly it is not usually the right thing for you even tho you think it is, and it usually falls short, causes problems, or simply does not last. I know this because I was the person looking for a quicker fix at one time. Now I am like the queen of manifesting. My husband says, “All you have to do is mention it to Cat and it shows up a week later.” And I know many others who are masters at manifesting, too. Manifesting is a craft to be practiced and mastered much like Witchcraft is. And when done that way, manifesting becomes part of your magic and Witchcraft that takes little effort after a while. 

 

Manifesting is the practice of using the Law of Attraction to produce a desired result. 

Desired results are brought by knowing the Law of Attraction very well and having a working relationship with it, so let me define it. “The Law of Attraction is the Electromatic sensitivity field that surrounds each atom that is compatible with, or disturbed by, other atoms electromatic sensitivity field. Then atoms that are compatible collect together repeatedly until matter that we can perceive is formed. Yes! There is actual science to it! This science is one of the secrets of the alchemists of old. And this science is how thoughts are things. Thoughts are a tool to be used in manifesting. 

This explains how you can draw to yourself experiences, and physical things. The drawing of things to you is the result of the nature of atoms that emanate from mental activity. 

 From the Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary by June Bletzer Ph.D. 

“Sensitivity field” means the energy fields all around us. “Other atoms’ sensitivity field” means other energies. “Atoms of compatibility that collect together” means that atoms that are similar to each other are attracted to each other. “Atoms that emanate from mental activity” means the energy/atoms our thoughts create and then go forth into the larger energy field of the universe. This leads us to the fact that thoughts are things that have power. It is not just a saying with no proof; there are scientific and universal laws that sustain it. The law of attraction is just one of the many universal laws. Magic and spirituality are about working with the laws of nature, and the universe, and they are all energy. 

 

Thoughts are things that create results. What does that mean exactly? It means most of our thoughts have some type of impact on the physical world. And unless you truly believe that with all your being, manifesting and the law of attraction will not work well for you. Now, does that mean you have to carefully monitor every thought in your head? No! It means when applied with your will power and focus, thoughts will emanate with direction and energy. 

Here is how it works, what you think becomes what you believe, what you believe becomes what you say, what you say becomes how you act. This has been proven in psychology. Why is it important in spirituality and magic? Well, if you say words, you do not believe, then they have no power to become physical, i.e. manifest. This means any ritual, spell, or other magic you do will not work if you do not believe in it fully. Which only reinforces to some folks that magic doesn’t work, not realizing the reason it did not work is because of their lack of belief in the words and practices they are trying to use. 

That said, magic, spirituality and manifesting are not something one can do like following a no-fail pie crust recipe that works as long as you follow the directions. They are something that must come from deep within, powered by your belief and connection to what you are doing, and your relationship with the forces of nature and the universe. 

For manifesting, you need to be very clear on the distinction between what you think you want and what is actually right for you. Otherwise, you end up with stuff that really does not work for you. A belief that the universe will provide what you have requested because the universe provides us is also needed; yes, faith and belief are needed. 

 Let’s say you want more friends and decide to manifest them but end up with friends you would rather not have. This happens because you were not clear about what you wanted or what is actually right for you. 

My journey is an example of that. My life was a mess and all I knew at that point is I wanted it to be different, so that is what I asked for. I ended up alone in a new place with no friends because the universe replied to my vague and basic request. My next request was for friends. Again, I was not specific enough, and ended up with people around me, but were more trouble than they were worth. The universe replied in its own way because that is how the universe works. Once I asked for friends of a like-mind however, is when I was able to attract the right type of people to my life. 

You might be wondering how do you ask the universe for something? Well, as in all things we all have our own ways and while no one answer works for everyone, there are some consistencies to it.  First, you must be clear and earnest in your request and fully believe the universe will provide. Next is effort; nothing truly just falls into your lap out of thin air. You have to be open to receiving your desire however it comes. For my request of friends of a like mind, I had to ask where would I find them? Because the universe had already provided them, I had to do my part in connecting with them, and oddly enough they came through Craigslist. 

It is the same with material items and money as well. You in your way put out to the “Universe this is what I desire in my life” believe it has been provided and then do your part to discover it. How do we know it is what the universe provided? If it is the right thing it will come in an unexpected way, doors will open, or it will suddenly be on sale way below cost, but you have to be looking at the ads to see it. You also have to keep it in the back of your mind during the course of the day. 

This is where seeing the signs of the universe come into play otherwise known as synchronicity. Two seemingly unrelated and random things that then come together to have some meaning.  

One example is my husband wanting a futon. Normally they are 400.00 or more, which is not in our budget. I put it out to the universe and when I could I looked in the usual places for one in our range but not obsessively so. It’s like holding a wet bar of soap; you hold it gently, loosely not tightly because it will slip away.  

About a month later I had a ton of things to do in town. It was a day of one thing right after the other, a futon was the furthest thing from my mind that day. Yet in the middle of it when I really did not have time, my intuition nagged me to go to the Restore store. I even argued with that saying I did not have time! Yet it persisted so I went. As I walked in the door there was the perfect futon for only 50.00! Not only was the futon there, but a friend of mine was also available to help me move it. It all just came together! 

It is in this way that when we listen to the signs, the universe tells us where we may find what we desire. Many call it intuition or being in touch with the higher self, call it what you will it is still signs from the universe that is the other half of manifesting and the law of attraction. What is happening when we are near the object of our desire, is the like atoms we have been sending out are resonating with the like atoms of the object and it triggers our intuition. If we do not pay attention to it, we miss what the universe has sent us. This is how the forces of nature work not only within us but around us.   

Working with manifesting, the law of attraction (in its real form), synchronicity, the universe and ourselves in this manner are but only a few of the many ways we can truly work with the real mysteries of magic. 

 

The Mantic Arts

The Mantic Arts, have you ever heard of them?

In layperson terms, the Mantic Arts are divination with earthly objects, like fire, smoke air water, and much more.

There are hundreds of ways to employ the mantic arts. But before we dive into that long list, let’s look at the Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary by June G. Bletzer and some history on the Mantic Arts.

“To ask a question silently or verbally and immediately use a mundane system, non-human or human organism or inert object, in a manner that will reveal the hidden answer.

The theory originated from the I Ching in 2,000 B.C. The description goes on to say there is no chance. All things in the universe follow a definite order; symbols serve as models or patterns from which physical objects evolve. Wow 2,000 years before Christ, well, they have certainly been around a while.

Mantic Art skills in ancient times were used to predict and guide the conduct of persons and nations, settle disputes, and uncover personal problems. In the Mantic arts, symbols are formed in the atmosphere that precede earth doings and are sent to humans to announce or warn of these earthly events. In ancient times everyone believed that the orderly universewrites its patterns in all things and the lay person became proficient in the skill of divination. The word Mancy was born of the Greek word Mania which means hidden or sacred things which is a much better use of the word than what we are currently used to.

There are so many forms of Mancy arts it would be difficult to name them all, so I will only list a few. Divination by animal behavior can be Theriomancy or zoomancy. Divination by using the atmosphere is  Alectromancy.

Interstingly, there is divination by book, and it is called Stichomancy while bibliomancy, a word we are more familiar with is specific to the bible only, and pyromancy is divination by burning objects.

Here is a funny one that will make a friend of mine happy, divination by cake dough is called Critomancy, and divination by cakes and cookies is Aleuromancy. By candle is Lampadomancy, and by wind is Aeromancy. Divination by crystal ball is crystalomancy, while crystal pieces are crystallomancy.

Dream divination is Oneiromancy, and divination by mediumship is Psychomancy and the list goes on. In short, the Mantic Arts are divination by whatever is at hand.  My grandmother divined by talking to pretty much everything.

I enjoy the mancy arts because they are elements of the things around us. I like being able to listen to a blade of grass whisper, “water” or to have it give me that image in my mind. It builds a connection and they are great for exercising our magical skills.

Maybe now the next time you stop to pick up a rock or feather or anything else, gently hold it and see if you can get it to speak to you. and tell you its secrets.

A CURSE OR A BLESSING?

Alright, psychics. I know you are out there, let’s talk about the blessing and the curse of it all. And FYI being empathic is also a psychic skill.
THE BLESSING, Folks know you are psychic in some fashion and they ask your advice or learn from you. Your skill has helped you in some way over a period of time and you have found a way to make it useful.
THE CURSE. 1. People come for advice and then ignore the advice. And when stuff all falls apart they come back and ask why you did not tell them.
2. You can tell what is going to happen and you watch it all happen knowing there is nothing you can do to help or change things.
I struggled with this anomaly in my psychic skills for years, until one day I realized we know what we know not to stop the chain of events but to have an advance warning of what is coming so we as psychics and healers can help with the effects of the event after the fact. Our gifts whatever they may be are precognitive based. Most psychic skills have an element of precognition.
It was not until I wrapped my brain around this that I became much more comfortable with my psychic skills and stopped the love-hate relationship I had with them. It was also when I began using them properly.
This all works for me, and each of us are a bit different, what has worked for you?

Climate Change and Weather Magic

It has been a while since I spoke about weather magic. In my previous posts on the subject, I discussed how I got so connected to the natural forces over the years. In my presentation for the LlewellynCon I spoke about how psychic skills enhanced magic and witchcraft, but it really was a lesson on weather magic. (The link is below.) Today I thought I would share more about what I personally have been doing to help our Mother Earth to heal and restore given the climate change issues we see daily.

I began my work in March after our February was a bit too warm for comfort. Fearing what that might mean for the fire season I sat for several days in a row in meditation and dream work communing with the Elements and Mother Earth. I came away from that work knowing the Elements and the Earth were out of balance in a way that scientists and meteorologists cannot know and the Earth was asking for help. Now I have done weather magic in many states over time and had developed something of a routine way of proceeding but my meditations and dream work in this matter showed me something more was needed.

So on March 15, 2022, The Ides of March, I began what would become my daily work for the next two months. I began in meditation connecting to the Elements. I then carried that connection outside with me and made a physical connection to the Earth by placing one hand on the ground.

This is when “the something more” happened. Because I am clairvoyant I began to see and hear all the green and living, not only paying attention but saying, “Hey us too! We are all water seekers.” I saw all the creepy crawlies, insects, and flying things and could see and hear all the plants join in a chorus of “We the water seekers are here.”It was almost overwhelming as it all flowed through me.

Because of my skill, I relaxed and breathed in their energy through my whole body to become a conduit for them. I let their energy join with the connection to the Elements I already had within me.

I became the place the water seekers were able to connect to and speak with the Elements and make their requests. The images that flowed through my mind were amazing and it was in that manner I was “moved or instructed” on what to do next. With one hand on the ground and my head down and eyes closed, my other hand rose toward the sky as the words spontaneously spilled from my lips voicing the request of the Water Seekers.

Then as I stood up, I further drew all that combined energy through me. I channeled it and cast it toward the atmosphere, I could feel the power of it all vibrating me. All that energy made my impassioned plea grow louder and the energy continued to rise. Suddenly the mountains began to add their voices, saying “We hear you, we can help, we are water seekers too.” I began to tremble at the energy I was channeling and casting.

When I felt something of a peak or break, I then put a hand back on the Earth. Taking a breath for my own body and with one hand in the air, I projected this connection and invited Mother Earth herself to join us in this healing, in that moment I felt her sorrow and I cried with her.

When the stillness came, I knew the Elements were now listening. So quietly and near spent still channeling as a conduit, I asked the Elements to give we, the water seekers, and the green and living, balanced, and average seasons as they saw fit in their infinite wisdom, so that they the all-powerful may heal our Mother and all the green and living water seekers. That was day one, as was by far the most intense of them. Each day after did not require such intense work as the connection had been made and was easier to tap.

Each day until May 1st I lifted my voice to the Elements repeating my request using the energy and the voices of the water seekers, the green and living. Each day I also asked the mountains to lend their assistance in drawing the weather needed.

I paused my work on May 1st to give room for the elements to work in their own way and show me what their infit wisdom was. May and June 2022 were the first “normal” spring we have had here in five years, possibly more. Our rivers and lakes are full and the water seekers and the green and living are flourishing, for now. Since mid-May when the rains began I have given daily gratitude to the Elements for their infinite wisdom and nourishing ways.

In the past, I typically would ask for rain. It is the most obvious thing we need I thought. Often though I would see a backlash of sorts, where rain would come then the heat would scorch after. Then it hit me, we need the balance of all the elements. When also thinking of climate change it made even more sense.

So now when I do weather working I include the water seekers, the mountains, and the green and living. I ask not just for rain, but for the Elements to work equally well together in their infinite wisdom to provide “normal/average” seasons to be provided to the Earth to assist in healing her. Then I let go and let them work and express my gratitude to them for listening.

My interview with Elhoim Leafar

I thought I would share my only live video interview to date. This interview occurred before I even received my first copy of my book. Elhoim is amazing and it was such a pleasure to visit with him. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
