The idea of really wanting something and then going after those desires has been the way we were taught to create things in our life.  But what if that is all wrong?

I don’t know about you but I’m tired of working really hard.  It feels too much like pushing and pressure.  That kind of energy pushes all those dreams and desires away instead of bring them closer.

Over the summer I sat back a little, relaxed a bit more and had more fun.  I played more. I even bought myself a colouring book.  I’m allowing myself to take more personal time and to really connect with the things that are important to me.

And then things began to shift…

One morning I was flipping through the paper and I saw that the mega-pop group One Direction would be in town for 2 concerts.  I thought to myself “I haven’t been to a concert for awhile, it would be really nice to go to one,” and then I flipped the page and never gave it another thought.

One Direction Concert in Ottawa Sep 2015

Next day my son is all excited because one of his friends gave him a ticket for the concert for that night.  I was excited for him too and jokingly said, “So, are you going to take your Mom?”

Nope… only one ticket.

He left for the stadium and 30 minutes later he called, saying “Mom, do you really want to come?  There’s an extra ticket…”

Now it wasn’t that I REALLY wanted to go see One Direction… but I had put the request out to the Universe that it would be fun to go to a concert. It was a fleeting thought that I wasn’t attached to,  and voilá…

I thought about not going for a moment, and then decided that I didn’t want to send the Universe that kind of message!  So it was me, my son and his friends and 15,000 screaming young females, and I had a blast!

Next time you want to manifest something, put out your intent and then let it go.  Be playful and relaxed, and allow magic to happen. The energy of gratitude helps too.

Laughter, relaxation, joy, love, creativity, and thankfulness are all ways to elevate your vibration.

Negative emotions, stress and heavy energy can weigh you down and distract you from the possibilities that are close to you.

By raising your vibration, miracles can happen!
