Our Good Vibe Friend and awe-inspiring Law of Attraction coach, Jeannette Maw (@GoodVibeCoach) wrote a post yesterday that scratched my awareness right where it was itchy.
Jeannette’s post was about Vibrational Instruction. What are the messages we’re sending to the Universe; the ones we say out loud, the ones we keep quiet, big ones and little ones, all of them. How clear are we? What instructions are we giving the Universe to work with? Are they ever contradictory?
I Declare!
The post increased my awareness to something I’ve been thinking quite a lot about lately. I am pretty great at stating my desires in positive Law of Attraction style when I’m consciously setting about to make a declaration.
I am getting better at being conscious of the smallest of details that I tell myself through out the day that may send mixed signals to the Universe. (I almost wrote: “I could be better at…” but I stopped myself and reframed right away) “I am getting better…” sends a much clearer message than “I could be better…” which can imply, “but I’m not”.
Recently I’ve been oh so aware of the little thoughts, emotions, etc. that race around stealthily attempting to stay hidden from my conscious awareness. Funny buggers, I’ll tell you! …and crafty. YIKES! Thoughts like, “what if I don’t like it?” (Universe delivers more of what I don’t like) or “Oooo, I’m just feeling so weird right now!” (Universe responds: “OK, feeling weird coming right up”)
Getting to the root of it all~
As I was pondering what was at the root of my at times contradictory vibrational instructions to the Universe, I realized something consciously that’s been tapping me on the shoulder for weeks now. (Does this ever happen to you? It’s like the ‘aha moment’ when you suddenly realize that your higher self has been inviting an awareness conversation around a certain topic for weeks and you finally get around to engaging in the conversation consciously. “Oh hi, higher self…yeah, I get it…yeah, that’s so interesting…!” This is what I’m talking about right now.)
I realized that a big part of why I think I send somewhat contradictory instructions is because I truly know and believe that I am the creator of my life…that I have infinite choices available, limited only by how far I stretch my imagination…and I have a REALLY good imagination!
Do you hear what I’m saying??
I love lots of things…not just one or even a few. So, when I make one choice I suddenly notice myself wondering if that’s really the choice I want. …’cause I could create it differently; it’s up to me. The canvas is blank, the palette is vast, the tools of creation infinite. On one hand I jump for joy and gleefully give gratitude for such freedom, such a magnitude of possibility. On the other hand I say, “Holy Hannah”! (Seriously, that’s what I say…I don’t know why…I don’t even know a Holy Hannah!)
I’m just saying, am I crazy?? (…easy, it’s a rhetorical question; not meant to be answered.)
The Irony.
If there’s a place where I get stuck; this is it. How ironic that the very frame of my belief that it’s all up to me, that I can create it exactly as I want it, is the very thing that has me frozen in time and space.
Does anyone else ever experience this? Please tell me I’m not alone. I know I’m not alone. The very idea that I can choose whatever I want, that I have complete and total autonomy, that I am the creator of my experience at times keeps me from creating! OY.
How Perfect.
As I’m writing this I’m realizing another thing. I’m attached to a perfect outcome rather than being open to an ever evolving outcome that continues to match my vibrational frequency more and more with every aligned choice I make! Mmmm…now *that* feels good.
My attachment to having a perfect outcome right away (and who’s to say it wouldn’t be??) is me holding myself back from my becoming!
Epiphanies are so cool; aren’t they? No matter great or small they’re just so darn great!
SOLD!
We’re selling our house in CO right now and moving back to WI to be nearer family…and creating the opportunity to winter tropically.
This exact scenario of life transition has given me/is still giving me all the practice I need in paying attention to what vibrational instruction I’m vibing.
All the what if’s, yeah but’s, but why’s, how will’s and if only’s that have been flying out of my mouth…or quietly through the recesses in my mind lately are astounding.
Meanwhile, I wonder why things seem to reach a stand still at times? Duh. Hello. The Universe is just patiently standing by waiting for me to get clear, release attachment and allow!
It’s really up to us now, more than ever. We choose, we create it. So the question is, what do we want?
Being a highly sensitive person who has always felt guided along the path; I’m still looking for the ‘lightening bolt’, the writing in the sky, the sign that says, “This Way” in bold letters. Strong guidance saying…”this is your path”.
I believe things have shifted. Now more than ever before the tools of creation are in our hands and it’s up to us. We paint it the way we like to see it and the Universe delivers as we create. It’s our choosing.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. With such a vast palette of choices in creation; are you able to choose?
“Dear Universe~
I’m inviting Good Vibe Coach Jeannette Maw to be our guest at Earth~Harmony~Home. It would be wonderful to hear her thoughts on choices and how they are sometimes so daunting…the magnitude of infinite possibility so overwhelming…that we may not choose at all out of wondering or second guessing where the path will lead. I hope she will join us.In Love and Gratitude,
Debra”

Can I just say, “WOW!!!”?
Talk about epiphanies … I had several reading yours, Debra!
The last one was when you said, “I believe things have shifted. Now more than ever before the tools of creation are in our hands and it’s up to us. .. It’s our choosing.”
Amen to that!! And amen to releasing the attachment to the idea of a “perfect outcome” that sometimes stalls us in our creative tracks.
Jeannette
PS – I enthusiastically accept your invitation! woo hoo!

okey dokey artichokey!
holy living in resonance with what you have said here! right there with you.
have you ever played frisbee? because i have and usually it goes a little something like this:
i look at where I want it to go, i think about where i want it to go, i do what seems like my best to get it there, and more often than not it winds up in a different place. at least on the first few tosses.
what is strange about this to me is that the frisbee always, without fail, goes EXACTLY where i tell it to go. it cannot do anything else. it’s mechanically impossible. so the choice at that point is to move on to synchronized swimming or practice.
with practice, something about all of the error in judgment gets worked out by mysterious places in the brain that say to your hand, “not like that again or it’ll be right back up in that mango tree.” and slowly, the alignment comes. the desire, our natural ability to unconsciously adjust to the situation, the mechanical skill and the preferred outcome all line up in perfect harmony. the less thinking about it, the more patience, the easier and faster the results. whereas questioning your athletic prowess and fretting over appearing to be an avid indoorsman only ensure many climbs up the mango tree.
aaaanyway. thanks for your beautiful article. i entirely relate. let’s grow together!!!
much love and aloha!

Thanks for your thought provoking post, dear friend.
As snotty as this may sound, I am really starting to get used to getting what I want. Fun to say that!! Releasing attachment at least momentarily, which already helps immensely, is not too hard for this Aquarian, whose mind easily whizzes onto the next thing, thereby allowing desires to formulate themselves into the 3rd dimension. The key for myself has been to acknowledge that the place I am in at any given time is rarely horribly bad, in fact oftentimes it is actually pretty good and increasingly even fabulous. So while I am catapulting my wishes out there, I simultaneously feel myself happy with my current situation and unattached to whether the boomerang returns with my “goods”. And wouldn’t you know it, most of the time it does these days! The only time I sabotage myself is when I go into scenarios of “if this doesn’t happen than this other unwanted thing will” or vise versa and the fear I feel is NEVER about the present and ALWAYS about an imaginary future, in which my plight is the plot of Hollywood’s next great horror movie. So as I notice the theme thickening, which is pretty easy, because generally I feel instantaneously miserable, I pat the director of this unwanted flick on the head, thank him/ her for showing me where my fears are still looming and excuse myself, cause I have some delicious day dreaming that requires my immediate attention.
Isn’t it fun, to not take any of it seriously? At least not very….
Love you much, Katja

OMGoodness Ms. Jennifer! Here’s to ‘holy resonance’ and our connection right here, right now! Woo-Hooo!
LOVE your analogies! …and how did you know that ‘talking frisbee’ with me would make so much sense? How did you know that my frisbee can definitely (at times) end up in the mango tree?
Unless of course I close my eyes, take my mind and it’s attempts at analyzing/logisticallizing (new word, like it? ;~) where the frisbee *should* go out of the picture so to speak…then the frisbee seems to reach it’s target with amazing accuracy!
Imagine that! I know where I want my frisbee to go; I see it clearly in my mind’s eye, I trust that it will stay the course and it does. Perfect.
(We won’t go into what it looks like when I attempt to catch the frisbee…we’ll write another post another time making that relative to what it’s like to receive!)
By the way, the bit about “athletic prowess” and “fretting over appearing to be an avid indoorsman”? Yeah. No more fretting here.
I know who I am. Those of you who know me personally know who I am.
Let’s just say the words athletic prowess have never been used to describe me and I’m comfortable being an avid indoorsman who loves to be outdoors appreciating nature. Just let me sit still…or just walk, hug trees, talk to birds and squirrels…yeah…I like it like that. :0)
I say YES to growing together; I know no better company to practice the spiritual art of frisbee throwing with!
Thanks for sharing yourself here, Jennifer! Love you!! Aloha.

:0) Definitely not alone… Good to know I’ve got company, Scott! Thanks for stopping by.

Dear Goddess of Getting What She Wants (Katja :0)
Are you kidding me? You are my muse, my inspiration, my ‘if she can do it, so can I’ person when it comes to this stuff! Snotty is not and will not be a word I’d use to describe you…mmm-mmm-no-way.
I appreciate your entire comment and this bit was a stand-out:
“The key for myself has been to acknowledge that the place I am in at any given time is rarely horribly bad, in fact oftentimes it is actually pretty good and increasingly even fabulous.”
I continually remind myself of this. Oh my goodness. My life is amazing every day. And sometimes when I’m considering other choices, where we’re headed next..yada yada…it can be dizzying and I lose track of the most important, fabulous-ness of the here and now.
And your antidote:
“So while I am catapulting my wishes out there, I simultaneously feel myself happy with my current situation and unattached to whether the boomerang returns with my “goods”. And wouldn’t you know it, most of the time it does these days!”
…so perfect!
Thanks for the brilliancy of your comment, the ‘right-on-ness” of your awareness and your “leading by the clarity of your example”, as Abraham would say.
Here’s to having fun…not taking any of it too seriously…and to boomerangs and frisbees! ;~)
Aloha Love and Hugs…

Aloha Debra…WOW!!! I love this stream of consciousness that you share with us….life seems to be like a ball of yarn…if we pull on this…more and more is revealed and rearranged and Yeah!!!….new life has occurred….everything is created twice…first with the thought we “send to the blueprint factory” and then the ability to receive the “good” being delivered in 3D….I think receiving is a big issue of co-creation right now…the BIG Breath in ….so we will practice and get better and better at it…so FUN to practice together and you my sweet sister are one of my favorite playmates on this planet…much love and aloha to you, Kay
12. March 2009 at 8:38 am
Dear Kay…thanks for sharing your thoughts and energy here. :0)
I love the images of the ball of yarn, so true.
I agree that receiving can be the biggest challenge of all; interesting how all of us ‘givers’ can have the greatest challenge receiving.
Yes, here’s to playing together, having fun as we practice this art of receiving…allowing the ‘goods’ to arrive while knowing that we are worthy and deserving of the gifts.
I just read your post for today; I’m sharing it here so others can receive this amazing gift…perfectly fitting and timely to this conversation.

Hello Debra,
Loved this post! By the way, I am God so just send me a DM on Twitter and I can tell you whatever you need to know…
Seriously though, Here’s what I’ve been finding as I’ve been doing my own search to connect more fully with what I want (life passions, career and yes even my blog). As I go out into the world and connect with others I’m learning so much. Every new article gives me an idea or sometimes just a reminder. Every new contact or conversation gives me more information or distinctions that are helping me discover what I truly want.
In the past 2-3 months my discovery about what I want changed. It’s evolving and the energy around it (with LOA) is growing. The feeling is nice and as I’m learning this morning (my post about 6 steps for being in the flow) being in the flow is the only place to be.
So I would take what you’re learning and recognize that your wants and desires are constantly moving, changing and evolving. All is well.
Kevin

Right on, my friend and brother on the path! You’re exactly right.
I’m so happy to hear of your steadfast unfolding…and that it’s feeling good…what amazing moments when we recognize that being in our flow is truly the only place to be!
I appreciate your honing in on this important aspect. The fact that our wants and desires are in continuous evolution is so true…and how could they not be?
We are eternally evolving beings…gracefully dancing through space and time. What a gift. What promise. All is well, indeed!
Thank you, Kevin!
