Your heart contains the seeds for all your thoughts in it. By heart, I mean the heart chakra and not the physical heart.

People who have grief contained in their heart chakras, also have a tendency to get into physical heart problems. And it is when people are uncomfortable in themselves, that they smoke, drink excessively, or have other self-defeating addictive behaviors in addition to high cholestrol and a racing heart and a tendency to flee or fight.

As you are aware, manifestation happens when resistances melt. Most resistances are just fears contained in the heart, seeking manifestation. These fears may have very solid physical reasons to be present in your life, and need to be addressed.

Your heart contains feelings towards things and people, and at a given time, the heart releases those feelings, then thoughts come up whose vibrations pull in matching situations, and events.

And as a particular situation approaches you, the heart releases its response to that situation and this response is either positive or negative. The heart is either open or closed to a situation and then action or reaction happens.

This is also how karma works. A karmic situation is one which has a lot of energy attached to it. Its propensity to attract good or bad is very strong. People live in their own karmic layers and attract situations accordingly.

The Universe knows your karmic potential and hears your prayers to be free and to attract good. It then creates a set of coincidences that actually gives you the opportunity to conquer your situation.

The best way to conquer fears and change karmic energy is to recognize this and work in an artificial environment with a coach or teacher.

Even if a situation has manifested, it is good to learn from that situation, and conquer your tendency or fear, so that it does not manifest again.

The heart needs to be cleared of its issues. It carries stuff from childhood and even past lives for those who believe in the eternity of the soul. And then there are those behavioral patterns carried by family and all the fears associated with it.

The good news is that all this can be worked out of your system. Feeling sad, feeling sorry, feeling poor, feeling helpless, all of these can be worked out of your system.

Just ask your heart "What are you feeling now? Do you feel bad in this situation? What is it that I can do to help you feel better?"

Ask yourself, what can I do to feel better? And then pat yourself on your back for a job very well done. You have lived all these years and worked so bravely through all life situations.

You are already a winner now! Love and Light.

Whenever we enter a new job, or relationship, we sense the possibility of joy in that and so we make efforts to pursue the situation.

What happens when we start to feel an ebb or reduction in the joy experienced? There is an effort to maintain the joy and save the situation, and then when everything fails, there is an effort to back out of the situation and save ourselves.

We have all experienced this again and again in life. You start with a fresh mind and fresh outlook and then things seem to deteriorate, and then there is a hasty retreat.

Some people (who I call brave soldiers) try to stay in the situation for a long time, fighting against all odds to make it work.

Then there are some people who are so sensitive that they run at the sign of any trouble.

It is important to find a balance between the two.

There is no need to keep fighting to save something. Sometimes it is just best to let go. Now letting go, and letting it all go are different.

Letting go is the state of being away, or detached from the situation so that any healing that has to happen, has a chance to happen.

Letting it all go is the state of "getting rid of". Salvaging something from a situation where you have let it all go, is more difficult. Most reactions that come from the place of letting it all go, are traumatized and so special attention has to be given to clearing and healing.

We have to accept who we are at any point. Only when we accept who we are right now, can we make efforts to change and become who we would like to be.

Manifestation always matches who you are. You cannot fool the Universe. What is contained in your heart manifests. There is no two ways about that.

So work on what is contained within you. Observe, intend, and manifest! And in all situations, retain the original joy that you entered it with. For it is the joy that carries things to smooth and beautiful conclusions, or should I say beginnings?
