Breathe And Let Go!

Submitted by: S. Thomson

Australia

I am a wife and mother of two boys.

I wanted to share my story of how ‘letting go’ made room for the Universe to finally allow for my dreams come true!

About 6-8 weeks ago I started re-reading all my secret books to regain a more positive outlook on life. After starting to re-read ‘The Power’, I decided to make a list of the things I wanted most. One of those things was to take a 2 week holiday in August to see my family and have my surgery. After sending my wish out to the Universe I had this sudden idea to book flights in July to have a consult with the doctor. I didn’t hesitate and booked everything the next day. I was so excited! I knew this was something I needed to do because it seemed ‘effortless’ as the book says.

After booking the consultation I decided that I would wake early every morning, meditate and spend time visualising the holiday and the surgery. This was great for about a week. Then things started to change. I noticed that I started to feel ‘uneasy’ whenever I would do my visualising after meditation. I stopped feeling as excited and my days seemed flat. I still continued this for about 3 weeks because I thought it was just doubt creeping in and I kept remembering the book said ‘You will manifest what you think about the most’.

After 3 weeks of doing this process I started to feel anxious everywhere I went. I would be talking to my sister while we were out shopping and when the conversation ended the uneasy feeling in my gut would yell ‘Dont forget to be grateful for something, quick look around you!’. So I would panic and list things around me.

It got to one morning where my meditation felt horrible, so I stopped and asked myself ‘Why do I feel this way?’. In that moment I realised what was effortless in the beginning, had become a chore. I kept ‘placing my order’ over and over with the Universe out of fear that it wouldn’t come to me. I was forcing visualisation so that it would help the Universe bring me my dreams faster. I was only standing in my own way. I was completely stopping all the good things from coming to me!

So once I made this realisation, I took a breath. I read the notes of what I wanted one more time then threw the paper out and said to myself ‘The Universe has my back!’ and let it go. This was the most amazing feeling. I felt so free and happy again!

A few days after doing this I walked into my local shopping centre. I looked at the new agency where there was a lottery poster for winning 40 million dollars. I thought to myself ‘I should buy a ticket’, but I kept walking to the grocery store. I grabbed a few little things and right before I went to pay I said to myself ‘Good things happen to me everywhere I go’. When I went to pay, I swiped my rewards card and got $10 off! I knew in that moment it was a sign. The Universe said ‘See?! Good things really do happen to you everywhere you go!’. So I raced over to the news agency and bought a ticket for the lotto! I felt I was on such a high, I couldn’t stop smiling when I bought the ticket. After paying for the ticket the man said ‘Good luck!’ I knew in that moment that I didn’t need it. I feel relaxed, I know the Universe has my back.

I just wanted to say that if you’re trying to manifest something and visualisation everyday makes you feel amazing, keep doing it! If it doesn’t, like it did for me, take a breath. Let it go and know the Universe has your back because it really does and then focus on the things you have now!

Whenever doubt comes into my mind, I just do this process and let it go. Life is amazing!!!!!!!!!!
