Greetings, dear Sunny Buddies,
Last time, in my post called Archetypical Dialogues, I wrote about how participating in the Tony Robbins Summit ‘Time to Rise’ helped me complete my New Year resolutions for 2024. As we head into springtime, I so appreciate the insights I gained from what has been a beautiful Winter Dreaming time.
At the end of the above post, I realised that I am living into the Law of Attraction with an ease that I enjoy. Many moons ago, I used to listen to Esther Hicks as she channelled the non-physical source of energy she called Abraham. It was a genuine light bulb moment for me as I began to understand that desiring ‘wanting’ and resisting ‘not wanting’ sound the same to the Universe!
It is the vibrational energy of our thoughts, feelings, words and deeds that the Universe is responding to. i.e., how we are in the moment, I found that The Law of Attraction was not a rational process for me. It was more about attuning to my emotions as the signposts to higher, healthier vibrations that the Universe would respond to.
I recently came across the work of Dolores Cannon (1930 -2014), a renowned author and hypnotherapist who delved into past life regression and metaphysics. As I explored her work, I saw that she is another person who channels from the spiritual realm. Have you ever noticed that people who channel speak in a very particular way? Their intonation, pace of speaking and breathing give a wonderfully similar auditory experience. I found her words ducking under my conscious mind and opening me to the joy of being alive.
Below is a video of Dolores sharing her guidance in the Law of Attraction. I really enjoyed it, and I hope you do, too.
In the video, Dolores says, ‘The universe is not a vending machine but a partner in a dance that requires reciprocity and active participation.’
I hooted out loud with laughter when I heard her say this. She has a quirky way of weaving her wisdom with a sense of the ridiculous that nudges me beyond the ordinary mind. I thought about what ‘active participation’ with the Universe actually means. What bubbled up for me was a lovely mantra that begins each practice of Master Chunyi Lin’s Spring Forest Qigong programme.
I am in the Universe, The Universe in my body, The Universe and I combine together.
In this mantra, I feel an evocative calling to be in reciprocity with the Universe. My thoughts, words, feelings, and actions resonate with the Universe, and the Universe responds in what she calls ‘Divine Timing’—relaxing, trusting, and moving beyond the ordinary to the extraordinary. I cannot just stand in front of the vending machine and expect the goodies to just drop into the tray. Oh no! The Universe is looking for so much more from me.
Below are some of the phrases from Dolores's presentation that I appreciate.
In the vast dance of the cosmos, the Universe operates beyond the constraints of past and future, eternally grounded in the present.
Your everyday thoughts and emotions are like continuous prayers that the Universe listens to when broadcasted in the right frequency and intensity.
Your thoughts, words, and feelings are like a conversation with the Universe, so choose them wisely to manifest positivity and growth.
Manifestation is not just wishful thinking but a meaningful interaction with the Universe when you're resonating at a higher frequency.
Tough times are not punishments but rather secret lessons that contribute to our personal growth and development.
Questions for this Week
And so, dear Sunny friends, in this present moment,
What is the best ever ‘active participation’ you have had with the Universe?
How does ‘Divine Timing’ work for you?
What are your 2024 intentions calling for from Life?
As always, I look forward to hearing from you.
Ann
Thank you, Ann. I always love reading the Sunny Optimist and ruminating on your questions. I think perfect cosmic timing is at work today. I just said no to an opportunity that wasn't quite right only to have another pop right up that's more in alignment with my dream seeds and intentions. The No was a difficult one, but the Universe responded with an immediate, "Well, how 'bout this, then?" Isn't it marvelous?? Love and hugs to you my dear friend!
Thanks for sharing this.. I had a similar journey of discovering Abraham many moons ago, and recently came across Dolores on Instagram. If you haven't discovered him already, I also highly recommend Bashar.
