  Into the Art of Allowing
  

  Last week, I did do a lot of rambling.  But I felt like I wasn't the only one going along that verbal stream.  I'm not sure it was anything like Esther and Abraham... I wouldn't care to put myself in their realm, they are truly wonderous.  It did, however, help me understand that some things are just not up to me.  What you get out of what I discuss is not up to me- you have to take what I say as you can take it. 
  
  It's not up to me and I'm actually pretty good with that.  Not that I don't want you to listen, but what you get out of whatever I end up saying is more or less unique to you!  You'll get what you can work with, I speak pretty well- do decently with keeping on points, at least!  So I'm not totally incomprehensible- and that's the story I'm telling, so there! :}   But I have to let go and allow you to listen, which will allow me to talk about what I can talk about, what I ultimately feel needs to be said.  
  
  This week I had a lot of experience with the concept of Allowing- including what can happen when you focus too much on what you want with regards to specifics.  It's great to plan and yes you do want to focus on what it is that you want.
  
  But then comes the Control-Freak-Fretting aspect that tends to bungle things up.  I get that way a lot and it's tricky for me to allow as much with my life- I, for one, look for DRAMATIC Change... But it doesn't really happen like that, nor does it happen the way I think that I want.
  
  There is a gift, however, in that part of the Law of Attraction.  You realize that, yes, you can determine what it is that you want; you find ways of accepting that you can have what you want and get to believing you can have it; that picks you up and gets you geared up for it...
  
  Then, you let go!
  
  One sticky part is the letting the universe take it from there.  I had a lot of problems with this, growing up and reading things like Shakti Gawain's "Creative Visualization."  I know, I know, I actually grew up reading Self-Helps, but hey- That's where I've been!  Anyway, I grew up reading this stuff and what confused the crap out of me at 16 is WAY Clearer at thirty-one! 
  
  The Affirmation that Shakti would end most visualizations with is this, and I've found this and others like it, recently, VERY helpful: "This or something better is coming to me easily and effortlessly."
  
  Thinking back, this is what helped bring my beloved Adam into my life.  I had forgotten, though, that I didn't want to be too domineering in my relationships, anymore.  It wasn't until I started doing this show and making more grand attempts at practicing the Law of Attraction- at least getting into it more regularly than I had before (Commitments like Hosting a Radio Show on the subject will do that to you!) - that I remembered the part about allowing...
  
  More than remembered, really understood!  I had gotten to my rote point of high anxiety and trying to control everything that I had forgotten my appreciation of the basics of how good I had actually gotten my life, especially since getting into the Law of Attraction (LOA) and meeting Adam and getting my job.
  
  When I got back to the basics, I was able to slow things down and get comfortable.  And with that comfortability, I was able to try out some things that I couldn't say really worked for me before.  Like the concept of a Higher Power- which I had always had some idea about, but it was the most Vague thing in my life!  Since delving more deeply, more routinely into LOA, I've actually come to accept, understand and trust this potential in my life- with my life.
  
  Everyone who teaches the Law of Attractions- almost everyone, I've noticed some rare, somewhat stunning exceptions- aknowledges a higher force at work that is always moving to get you what you want.  A universal Personal Assistant, in business terms.  And when you start believing you can have what you want, this notion becomes that much less of a stretch to the imagination.  Its there to provide you that with which you are most in harmony. 
  
  Consider that, what are you most in harmony with?  When you get to feeling better about things- you'll get into harmony with what you want that much faster.  When you feel REALLY GOOD- it will bowl you over with things that match, even exceed your expectations.  And by a certain point, your expectations are pretty big, high up there.
  
  When you're in harmony with the good you ultimately want in your life, you realize the struggle you've gone through is really you just not listening to your wisdom, higher power or whathaveyou.  You may also notice that you can tell when others are not in harmony with what they want, and when to start stepping back from that situation. 
  
  That will happen because you will come to focus one one thing- it seems like many things, but it's really one thing- that which makes you happy!  When you realize that focusing on what makes you feel happy and good is what brings good things to you, you'll start moving away from what brings you down.  And that will sometimes include... as I've recently realized was a hard step for me to take...
  
  Specifics!  The What and the Hows of a great life!  I had gotten into some spats with Adam and I realized that I was looking at specifics and wanting him to match me and be what I wanted him to be rather than appreciating what he had to offer.  I know he's a wonderful man... but I wanted some things from him that I felt I waddin't gittin'!  But then, I looked at my life this week and came to the conclusion that when I had focused on just feeling good at work, where I would generally be very anxious and fretful- I had become cheerful and really harmonious, I ended up having a really good time.  When I'd come home and talk to Adam on the internet vid-phone program we share called "Skype," I'd find it tricky to talk to him...
  
  It was because I wasn't allowing as much, and I was going online when I really can't say I wanted to... so I ended up being all crabby anyway.  I had gotten into a mindset that I had to do something, so maybe he might have to, as well. and that's not allowing very good things to come.
  
  I wasn't allowing my truth (I was tired and irritable and din't want to be on the phone/net), and I wasn't allowing him to be himself in that event!  I had plopped myself out of harmony and the best thing in my life got foggy and a lot less comfortable.
  
  It helped me come to this understanding of the Law of Attraction and the art of allowing.  And I hope to share that with you, here and on the show this weekend. 
  
  Also, My dear friend, Regina, is having me guest on her brilliant Monday night spot, here on BlogTalkRadio.com, called "Regina's Universe!"  She wants to learn about LOA and see if her listeners can gleam some inspiration and wisdom as my listeners have.  I'd like to hear from you, so drop by then, or during my show, or drop me a line at AnOceanState@Gmail.com.  Thank you so much for joining me on this wonderous journey.  Enjoy yourselves!
