Consider this week’s blog article a gentle reminder.
Instead of working harder at trying to achieve a goal that may not have been as easy to come by as you first thought, or by trying to control the outcome, I am encouraging you to Ask the Universe for help, let go and surrender.
I know this is not new or groundbreaking info given you’ve either read it in any one of my postings or here on the blog before, but I am reminding you (as I have myself recently) to be conscious when our egos are at the helm; because it just creates resistance.
However, when you make it a habit of partnering with Universal energy aka intelligence or any higher power of your choice and ask for support, you are in power manifestation mode.
Our five senses require an often-missed major component – the 6th sense in order to go into power mode. The intangible. You can’t see it or touch it. But it’s there whether you use it or not.
It requires you to trust and ask for assistance. Surrender the ego and be in partnership with Universal Intelligence. What does that mean? For this week, give it good, solid attempt to apply these 5 steps from one of my favorite spiritual authors, Gabby Bernstein:
“5 Steps to Spiritual Surrender”
- Take your hands off the wheel through prayer. The secret to prayer is to forget what you think you need and surrender. Listen for the answers.
- Focus on what’s thriving in your life rather than “getting” what’s missing. This raises your vibration to appreciation and gratitude. Remember, those are a multiplier of good.
- Obstacles are detours in the right direction. In other words, what is the gift in the challenge? What needs attention? This enables you to get more connected to the truth.
- Ask for a sign. Then listen. Watch for clues. They are all around you. Ask “Am I on the right path?” “Am I in the right direction?”
- When you think you have surrendered. Surrender more.
“Your plans are in the way of God’s plans. It’s time to surrender”- Gabrielle Bernstein.
I’d love to know your thoughts. Comment below!
To your outstanding life in our new economy,
Thank you Marla. This is a perfect reminder that sometimes Surrender is the best we can do instead of keep pushing and working harder and going no where. You are right focusing on gratitude and appreciation rises our vibration and pull us out of the negative self-talk cycle.
Viviana, glad this is a helpful reminder! I find the more I surrender and trust that my desires and needs are available more quickly when I stop “making them happen” – and I am more peaceful arriving at my result! Much love, Marla
#2 “Focus” is the keyword for me. Staying true to my purpose and finding creative ways to get there. My track record proves that I do best when I forge a new path rather than following one that others forged.
Thea! You are your own best advocate and leader. Agreed. True to you is someone who creates a new path rather than a follower. You are a visionary for sure! xoxo Marla
Maybe not new, but POWERFUL reminders just the same! With a new website and launching the now #1 International Best Seller Women Who Shine, it is timely. I can get so caught up in “making it happen” rather than trusting! You are always a grounding support n my life! Thank you , Marla and HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK!
