Here's my theory - when you hold a strong desire or goal you send out a vibrational energy that the Universe wants to match. In other words, it wants to help you meet your goal. Your job is to be clear on what you want, keep your focus off what you don't want, and to take small steps each day based on what you feel excited about. That excitement is your intuition communicating with you. I also want you to visualize, affirm, feel and imagine your successful outcome.
The Universe knows how to make your dream happen. Think of the Universe as a kind of Divine Intelligence that has the necessary skills to bring together the exact set of circumstances to make your goals a reality. All the logic and intelligence you can muster may not be able to pave the way for you to reach this ultimate goal of yours as easily as the Universe can. Let Divine Intelligence do its job and orchestrate all the synchronicities, coincidences, and circumstances that need to occur for you to create a life you love.
In my book, Divine Intuition, I told the story of how my intuitive reading business began. Here's the abbreviated version:
I was the Operations Manager of a small software company. I hated being there and dreamed of developing my own business. I had taken classes on developing intuitive abilities and found I had a great deal of natural talent in this area. My main concern was "How do I develop an intuitive reading business?!" I quipped that if God posted a "Psychic Reader Wanted" ad in the Boston Globe employment section, I'd apply. Barring that, I wasn't sure where to begin. I decided to practice my new-found consciousness tools of affirming, visualizing and asking the universe for help.
About a month into this manifesting process, a friend died. As I walked into the room for his funeral service I felt a strong intuitive inclination to sit next to a woman I hadn't met before. I briefly questioned my reasons for sitting there as there were quite a few people in the room that I both knew and preferred to sit next to for emotional support.
At the end of the service, the woman and I started talking and she asked me what I did for a living. Have you ever had one of those times when your brain doesn't engage with your mouth? Despite the fact that in my current job I was an Operations Manager, I answered, "I'm a psychic." I was immediately stricken with alarm. "Why had I answered this way?" "What would she think?!" I did readings for a few friends and friends of friends. But I never defined my career that way! I felt flustered by my answer. To my surprise, she was quite open and receptive. She then told me that she was a writer for the "Boston Globe" and would love to have a reading so she could write about it in her column.
To make a long story short - she wrote the article and I had about 400 people call me to schedule an appointment over the next several months. Here is the moral of the story from my perspective. The Universe had managed to create a full-time psychic reading business virtually overnight. There was no way that I could have created that if I had taken a step-by-step logical approach. Over the past twenty years, I have seen this process occur over and over again in my life and the lives of my clients. I believe there is a Divine Intelligence that works with each and every one of us to help us create a life we love.
