The Law of Attraction teaches us that everything is energy and vibration.
Through our thoughts, we have the power to create the world around us. Our own reality.
Yet so many people struggle to actually live the life they desire. Why is that?
Well, I believe that it’s connected to our human ego and the need to try to control everything so that it is perfect.
The ego loves to be in control and tells us that we need endless things in order to be happy.
It sets us up to be forever chasing things that we feel we need but in reality, keep us from living our most authentic lives.
When we allow ego to direct us, we disconnect from the wider, omniscient power that is the invisible force of all things in the Universe.
A big part of the key to manifesting is understanding that what you want already exists on a deeper level.
When you internalize that you are already connected to everything you want, you realize that you do not have to chase after it. It already exists.
We, humans, construct an idea of how things should be all the time. We get very concerned about who and what we are. We make assumptions about what will make us satisfied and we end up frustrated.
The ego pushes us to seek external validation and promote our own self-importance.
In this world of constant celebrity news and self-promoting on social networks, it’s so easy to fall into the trap of self-absorption.
People constantly want attention and to be noticed. The energy frequency that accompanies that need is very low.
It is focused on needing to chase, control, and have validation from strangers in order to feel good.
Our true self is eternal. It is the spirit within that is connected to that wider, omniscient force in the Universe.
Our ego holds us back from true manifestation on an authentic level.
Read the following statements:
- I am what I have
- I am what I do
- I am what others think of me
- I am separate from everyone
- I am separate from all that is missing in my life
- I am separate from God
Do you see how those statements imply that you are defined by everything other than your invisible connection to Source?
They imply that you are defined by your possessions, achievements, and the opinions of others.
They are disempowering and disconnecting. They make you feel lost without guidance and dependent on all these external factors in order to be happy.
In order to truly conquer the art of manifesting, you must lose this false idea of who you are and connect to your spirit within
The way of your higher self is to reflect your inner reality, rather than the external illusion
One of the best ways to practice doing this is to keep asking yourself this question so succinctly put by Eckhart Tolle.
“Instead of asking “What do I want from Life?” a more powerful question is, “What does life want from me?”
When you consider this question, you automatically become more focused on not only your highest path but how it will benefit others around you, rather than just compiling a long shopping list of what you want to receive.
You have to be able to develop the capacity to get past the need to say ‘Look at me!’.
It’s so challenging because we are taught from an early age to seek validation and approval from our parents, academic institutions, and peers.
It can take some serious undoing to get rid of that desire for approval. But once you do, you truly free yourself from the need to impress and achieve.
You discover the real meaning of happiness has nothing to do with how others perceive you and whether or not you have their approval.
Here are some ideas of how you can practice tapping into your true desires and shed those ego blocks once and for all!
Every time you find yourself feeling drawn towards something by your ego, ask yourself the question:
“Is this a loving, healthy choice for my soul?”
If you practice checking in with yourself before acting, you will train your brain to prioritize the things that are most in alignment with your highest self.
Meditation is another wonderful way to train yourself to listen to your spirit within. You can use regular meditation to practice feeling that energy force that is the entire Universe within you.
By placing your attention on your breath and slowing your system down, you begin to become aware of that divine spark inside.
You can discern between something your ego wants you to have and something that actually serves a higher purpose for you.
The more you do it, the more you will learn to feel that energy – the spirit of your true self working through you – the force of the entire Universe.
You will connect with your true self and stop feeling the need to chase after things. You’ll learn to be less self-obsessed with who you are and what you have done and just relax in your life.
Be guided by your infinite self over your ego and you will feel that all mighty power inside of you.
When you stop trying to control, relax and allow the Universe to show you all it has lined up for you – you will be open to the infinite range of possibilities that your ego never even dreamed of!
