I hope yours is off to an amazing start. And if it isn’t, and you’d like some inspiration, read on… because (hi voltage alert), I’M INSPIRED and I’M CONTAGIOUS! Over here at Success for the Soul we have crossed some kind of energetic threshold and expansion is happening!

2011 was about healing and laying foundations for new beginnings. With that, our Success for the Soul Team has grown. Lisa, my Assistant who blessed me with incredible support and faith this past year, has helped me to create and refine our programs for an even higher, more effective level of manifestation support for all of you! Michele, our new Assistant Coach in Training, amplifies our commitment to your success through the Ultimate Manifestation System Intensive (UMSI) with clarity of purpose and insightful wisdom. And Ann, as our brand new Manager of Partner Collaborations is here to help us connect with aligned souls who are seeking what Success for the Soul has to offer. I am beyond grateful and so look forward to seeing how we can serve you in the highest way!

On top of that, I’ve just returned from two speaking/teaching engagements in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (with an extra fun first-time-ever side trip to New Orleans). I met the most wonderful and gracious people there, had a blast exploring Ultimate Manifestation, and officially caught the “live presentation bug:” I’m so happy to emerge from behind my virtual world to reconnect with people heart-to-heart once again!

By the way… wondering how I manifested so much expansion this past year? Well, among other things, I relied heavily on the practice of Acting As If. And in so doing, have discovered a whole new level of understanding about how to maximize the power of this amazing energetic tool. Read on to learn more!

Choose YOUR Reality! TM
Sonia

What It Is

To “Act As If” is to imagine who you’d be, how you’d feel, and what you would do IF you were the YOU in your manifested goal. Then, as life presents you with opportunities, decisions to be made, and situations to respond to, you practice being THAT YOU. Moment by moment, opportunity after opportunity, situation upon situation, you have a CHOICE:

a) act as if you are your “future Self,” or
b) default to the familiar present day version of you.

When you choose to act as if you are the You, you are called to be, the Universe rises up to meet you and provides you with everything you need to move toward and experience your manifested goal. When you choose to default to the familiar present day version of You, you and your current reality remain unchanged.

Why It Works

The reason this practice works is that the moment you set a goal or claim an intention, you give birth to it on an energetic level. Not only that, but in that instant you expand into the bigger, better, “future” you (energetically speaking). You may not feel it. Life may not look any differently. But THAT YOU, now exists – in the energetic realm.

Additionally, once THAT YOU exists, the Universe rolls out an energetic bridge for you to walk toward THAT YOU, so that you may merge with and embody that expanded version of yourself.

How to Work It

What does that bridge look like? How do your recognize it to begin the process of walking over it? The bridge reveals itself as a series of leads. Some leads show up as next step opportunities for you to act upon in faith. (I call these stepping stones.) Other times a lead will appear as an obstacle for you to recognize as a smaller aspect of yourself that you need to outgrow and let go of, in order to expand into the bigger version of you. (I call these landmines.)

When leads appear as stepping stones, they show up as opportunities, ideas, inspiration, people, conditions, situations and insights for you to act upon as if you are already that person (i.e. THAT YOU). Sometimes these leads will feel wonderful and exciting. However, because you are not yet fully experiencing yourself as THAT YOU, other times taking these steps will require an act of faith and courage.

Note: You must take action as the YOU you are becoming. There is no avoiding it. Why? Because your dream will engage with you at the level you engage with it. Period. If you want your dream to engage with you in the physical realm, you must engage with it in the physical realm. If you only engage with your goal in the energetic realm of visualization, affirmation and imagination, it will engage with you only in that realm.

When the lead appears as a landmine, you’ll recognize it because you’ll find yourself face to face with a challenge. Landmines can appear as fear, doubt, insecurity, set-back, procrastination, and/or limiting beliefs. Sometimes the obstacle is so huge that it appears as an insurmountable obstacle, failure, or irrefutable evidence that you cannot succeed. When this is the case you have an opportunity for a major breakthrough, a chance to liberate yourself from a belief that has controlled you (usually most of your life), or a major paradigm shift. These kinds of landmines usually call for guidance or coaching, a profound spiritual awakening, and/or some degree of deeper emotional work.

Simply put, with the right understanding, “Acting As If” is a beautifully effective energetic tool for manifesting any dream. It works for this reason: You can’t be the current version of you and experience a different reality. For example:

• You can’t BE the single version of you and experience a marriage reality. You must BE your wife or husband-self.
• You can’t BE the employee version of you and experience successful business ownership. You must BE your entrepreneur-self.
• You can’t BE the homebody version of yourself and experience the life of a world traveler. You must BE your adventurer self.

Many times we don’t know how THAT version of ourselves would be. We don’t know how to act. We don’t know how it would feel. We don’t know how to proceed. For this reason role models, coaches and teachers make all the difference. When you don’t know what you don’t know, you can’t possibly Act As If effectively. But when you find people to emulate, teachers to guide you, and support to summon the courage to be the BIGGER version of you, Act As If leads to inevitable manifestation!

As we bring our series on the Ultimate Manifestor’s Code of Being to its conclusion, we now move to Tenet #7: Do What’s In Front Of You

In some of the earlier tenets, we addressed the difference between DOING manifestation and BEING the Ultimate Manifestor of your life. When you make this shift, it means you’re expanding your consciousness away from the “effect” which is your physical reality, to the “cause” which is Source (i.e your consciousness – where your TRUE power rests.)

Now then, our consciousness is comprised of our thoughts, words and ACTIONS. And so, one of the challenges seekers encounter as they expand from DOING to BEING lies in understanding how to relate to the necessary actions one must take in moving through life powerfully.

The key to our Code of BEING… is that we are always striving to be one with Source. Open and receptive to the Infinite power, grace, love, wholeness, joy and abundance that is always here.

We must operate from the assumption that we are always being guided to our highest good. That the highest good is here for us always. Our job is to accept and receive the abundance that abounds. For you see, there is no lack of abundance. Source has already provided it. That’s what is meant by “Ask and It is Given”. But just because it is given, doesn’t mean we are in a place to receive it. The experience of lack is on our end. Not on the end of Source.

So… when we take action there are only 2 ways of BEING.

1. Take action on that which is INSPIRING you.This is because Divine Guidance comes in the way of inspiration, OR
2. Simply DO what’s in front of you. (Because if you are seemingly not receiving inspiration, it means that what is in front of you is exactly what you need to be doing for your highest good.

This guidance is vital because the common trap many seekers fall into regarding taking action, is that they think they “should” be strategic, figure things out, or that there is a right or wrong way to approach something.

As soon as you get into “figure it out mode,” you have shut yourself off from Source. You are now trying to “make things happen,” according to your ego’s perception of reality. And you’re resorting to control energy, which is, quite simply, a whole bunch of unproductive resistance.

PRACTICE:

When you don’t know what action to take. When you find yourself asking, “What should I do?” and no guidance or inspiration reveals itself… DO WHAT’S IN FRONT OF YOU. And practice trusting that what you’re doing is exactly what you should be doing for your highest good.

AFFIRMATIONS:

• I am willing to be guided and inspired in all of my actions under all conditions.
• I accept and receive guidance and clarity regarding which actions to take at all times.
• I am willing to trust that what is in front of me to do is for the highest good!
• I am willing to feel safe, guided and peaceful as I surrender to Divine Guidance and Divine timing in all things!

EMPOWERING GOAL SETTING:

As Yehuda Berg of the Kabbalah Center teaches, “The goals are not the goal.” The TRUE goal is your soul’s evolution. Your Soul Self is here to expand, evolve and create. It does NOT accomplish this by setting and meeting goals. It does this by USING goals (generated by the ego) as a short term destination, designed to UNEARTH the things that you must shed and grow beyond in order to become a bigger version of you – the YOU you must become to LIVE the reality that is your goal. When you set goals from this perspective, you can’t fail. As long as you move toward your goal and you keep growing and learning, you will EXPAND, remember more and more of who you REALLY are, and guess what? Your goal (or something better) will manifest!

SABOTAGING GOAL SETTING:

On the flip side, there are a number of problems inherent with believing that your goals are the goal. Firstly, goals are generated by the ego (that part of you that believes you are separate from Source.) So, if you are chasing goals in order to feel better, you are essentially putting out the energy (and manifesting) always feeling SEPARATE from Source (i.e. separate from your power, your well-being, your joy, your abundance, etc.) Consequently, you may manifest your goals, but…

• the satisfaction will be fleeting, OR
• you’ll fear losing “that thing” as soon as you get it.

Additionally, unless the goal manifests exactly the way you intend (the how, the when, the where), you’ll feel like a failure and suffer all the “not enough” feelings that come with unmet goals and expectations (i.e. disappointment, scarcity, discouragement, etc.), which in turn activates an Creative Consciousness that is THE OPPOSITE of what you need to activate in order to experience the fulfillment you truly seek.

ADVICE FOR EFFECTIVE GOAL-SETTING AND MANIFESTATION:

• Forget about time lines! Instead of, “I intend to manifest “X” in 3 months…” try, “I am READY to ALLOW “X” into my life in the next 3-12 months. Instead of trying to “control” your goals into being, see your intentions as “opening the door of opportunity. Walk through the door and stay on the path.
• Once you know your intention (keep it simple), make an itemized list of how it will look and feel as your dreams manifests. That way, as you travel the journey, you can see what IS manifesting, give thanks for that, and allow success to breed success. (Instead of ONLY seeing the finish line, thereby becoming unable to see any progress, and getting pulled into believing “nothing is happening.”)
• Remember: the TRUE goal is your soul’s expansion and as you become more and more of who you REALLY are, the goals will simply manifest as an expression of that. (Slip into thinking your goals are the priority and you may risk using them as a measuring stick that keeps you feeling small instead of supporting you to be the BIGGER YOU, you are already becoming!)

A: Short-term relationships and long-term relationships are like apples and oranges. To experience success with either, you must understand that they have different purposes and call for different strategies.

Short-term relationships serve two purposes: fun and research. They are great for exploring who you are and who you want to be in relationships. This is where you discover what you want, and more importantly do not want in a partner. So, go ahead, choose a woman because she’s gorgeous, laughs at your jokes, is a good cook, an animal in bed, and loves football. Your criteria for choosing a short-term girlfriend doesn’t really matter because you’re here to have fun, explore and learn.

In contrast, successful, long-term, committed relationships require three things as a place to start: you must have relationship skills, have a pretty clear idea of who you are, and seek a partner who has a good sense of who she is. You must understand that love is more than a feeling, and that it must be supported by actions of commitment, compromise, and sacrifice. You must also be willing to make the needs of your relationship more important than your own needs. This means that you need to know yourself well enough to choose a woman who will not require you to compromise who you are. When dating for the long-term, ask yourself, “Does she bring out the best in me and share the same values and vision for life?”

The Law of Attraction governs what we experience in our lives. If you want to attract a different kind of woman, you must be a different kind of man. By asking yourself the hard questions and being honest with yourself and the women you date, you will stop the revolving door and put yourself on the path to long-term relationship fulfillment.

~Do you feel trapped, powerless or stuck with certain unpleasant individuals in your life?

~Are you lonely, feel like an outsider, or struggle to make meaningful connections with people?

~Have you ever wondered if you were absent the day they handed out the “relationship how-to manuals?”

~Do you believe you have to become a “better you” before you’ll attract the relationship of your dreams? (i.e. lose weight, make more money, have nicer clothes, “get it together”?)

~Are you still hoping and waiting for “The One?”

Well… If you answered “yes” to even one of the above questions, I am so happy to share that I’ll be offering a f.r.e.e. teleclass next week that will shed light on the “Energy of Relationship” and some very easy, powerful (but probably not obvious) things you can do to truly Re-Create Your Relationship Reality!

P.S. And yes, as is my tradition, I’ll be giving away hundreds of dollars in Success for the Soul products and services. But you must attend LIVE to be eligible!

P.S.S. Need some inspiration regarding how YOU can re-create YOUR relationship reality? Read what this seeker has to say:

“As my coach and energy healer, Sonia has always been the voice of, “Anything you want is possible!”
By the time I had reached my 50’s I had two divorces behind me and had left a career in corporate America which clearly did not realize my purpose. I also found myself recovering from a stroke that had shattered my sense of well-being. Sonia’s powerful and clear guidance encouraged me to keep reaching for my dreams. Today, I feel stronger and healthier than I have in a long time, am happily married to my soul mate, and have a fulfilling career being of service to women. It doesn’t get much better than this!”

Q: My sister suggests that maybe I should rephrase some of the wording of my goals – that the subconscious mind is very literal & picks up on all positive & negative statements, so instead of mentioning my illness struggles, I might be better off saying “I’m enjoying excellent health.” And instead of using the word cancer, I could just say “my dad is healthy & well on all levels….”  Advice?

 

A: What you manifest in your life is based on your VIBRATION.  Period.

The physical realm is a CREATION that is birthed from the realm of pure energy.  

There is only ONE CREATIVE LIFE FORCE behind every creation and that is Source Energy.  This means that nothing in our physical realm has power above and beyond this Ultimate Power.  (i.e.  your words, your subconscious mind, the experience of cancer, anything we “believe” causes cancer).  Nothing in this physical realm causes ANYTHING.  There is only ONE CAUSE.  And the cause of EVERY effect we experience is consciousness.

Everything that you could ever want, desire or imagine already exists as energy.  So there is nothing to create, there is nothing to attract, there is only SEEING what is already here.  How do we see it?  We put our attention on it.

Our attention is based not solely on what we THINK about it. It is based, actually more on what we FEEL about.  Our thoughts, feelings, words and actions all join together to comprise our vibration.

So, if it FEELS better to say “cancer-free” than to say “whole and healthy in every way”… then you want to use those words. 

The better you FEEL, the more IN ALIGNMENT with Truth and Source you are.  The worse you feel, the more out of alignment, in resistance and disconnected you are… essentially blocking the flow of Source Energy from your experience. 

The more Source Energy is flowing through your experience, the more abundance and well-being you are allowing.

NOW THEN… what can happen is that the more we contemplate the Nature of Higher Truth, your words may change.  Why?  Because cancer is not real.  It is a creation.  And the more you put your attention on Truth vs. the things we create, the more aligned you may become with the TRUTH that your father IS ALREADY health and wholeness and that there is really nothing to heal at all.

Wherever you are… the most important thing to remember is that Right and Wrong only exist in our limited physical reality.  Yet, in the realm of Higher Truth there exists only Alignment.

Hope this helps.

Blessings,

Sonia

When seekers first learn about the basic premise on which the Law of Attraction is based, they get very excited: Your consciousness creates your reality, and if you focus your attention on what you want, that which you focus on will manifest in your physical reality.

Well this is true to an extent. But it is only the tip of the iceberg. And because many seekers initially miss the deeper principles that lie beneath the surface, they quickly become frustrated when their expectations of miraculous results fall short.

YOUR MANIFESTING ENERGY

You see, it is not enough to direct your attention on what you want only when you feel like it, while letting your vibration run amok when you’re not in the mood. If you want to master manifestation, you must understand that your “manifesting energy” is the sum-total of what you put into the Universe (i.e. your thoughts, emotions and actions). No, you don’t have to “be perfect” in terms of what you radiate. But you do have to be in alignment with what you desire more often than not. We manifest from the “balance” of our vibration. So, if you are in alignment with, for example, prosperity 49% of the time, and in alignment with scarcity 51% of the time… you won’t see a whole lot of progress. But, if you remain mindful and lean on some discipline, you will tip the scales. And when you align yoursel f with abundance more often than not, you’ll see results and build momentum.

Now then, the above example is easy to understand and apply because it is obvious. But let’s talk about a more advanced manifestation concept. This is where things get really interesting. And when a seeker is willing to go deeper with such subtle nuances and advance principles, they begin to realize their power as the Ultimate Manifestors of their lives in ways they only before imagined.

ACCEPTANCE

An advance manifestation student understands that the Law of Attraction isn’t about attraction at all. It is about ACCEPTING into your awareness that which is already here. How is this so? Because there is only One Source. It is whole and complete. Everything you could ever want or need already exists as energy. When you put your attention on an idea, concept or vision, you give form to Source Energy and it takes shape in the field of pure potentiality. In other words, when you ask, it is given. However, in order to RECEIVE that which has been given, you must ACCEPT it. You must become a vibrational match to that which you desire.

There are numerous ways that we block our receiving and one such way is that we are inconsistent with ACCEPTANCE. In the same way we must align with prosperity at least 51% of the time in order to experience it. We must align with ACCEPTANCE in order to receive. If you ACCEPT in your life only the things you like, but resist, reject, judge and push away that which you do not like, you will block the flow of ALL that is waiting for you in the energetic realm.

How do we ACCEPT more and more? We practice non-judgment. Yes, it is hard to accept things that cause us pain, frustration, and suffering. However, when we begin to consider that EVERYTHING in our experience is made of up the same substance – Source Energy – and that this energy is pure Divine Love – that it simply takes the form that we give it with our Infinitely Powerful Creative Mind – THEN, we begin to liberate ourselves from feeling as if we are at the mercy of circumstance. We begin to reclaim the power we’ve had all along!

And how exactly then do we suspend judgment and reclaim our power? A little willingness and some self-talk go a long way…

The next time something unpleasant or undesirable happens in your life, PAUSE. You can certainly react, feel, mentally complain if need be, but as soon as you realize you’re doing so… PAUSE. Once you do, then speak the Truth about the situation to yourself. The words don’t matter. The opportunity is to redirect your awareness to the higher truth of the situation. Use the following as a starting place, then trust yourself to contemplate and connect with what works for you.

SELF-TALK: SPEAKING THE TRUTH TO YOURSELF

“Oh… this situation (fill in the blank… flat tire, late client, canceled appointment, etc… ) is not good, is not bad, it simply IS. All events are neutral until I give them meaning, until I judge them. EVERYTHING is an expression of Source Energy. I accept it, exactly as it is. I choose to remember that the essence of it is the pure Creative energy of Source which is Love. I am willing to accept the Divine Love that exists right here, right now, into my experience… even if I can’t see it. Even if it is hard for me to believe there is Divine Love and Infinite Possibility in this situation. I ACCEPT good, well-being and abundance right now.”

Try it… you have nothing to lose and everything to gain… and I mean EVERYTHING!

One of the foundational principles that determine what you will experience in your reality is this:

Where your attention goes the energy flows.

This means that if you put your attention on things that make you unhappy or uncomfortable, the creative energy of the Universe will essentially flow to and through those thoughts, give them life, and poof! They become a part of your reality.

The reverse is true as well: Put your attention on that which brings you peace, comfort, hope and joy, and the creative energy of the Universe will flow through those thoughts, and bring them to life in your experience.

Your challenge and opportunity as the Ultimate Manifestor of your life is not to understand this concept. It is to actually become more and more intentional about how you direct your attention, moment by moment.

From Resisting to Redirecting

The concept is simple, but not necessarily easy. Why?

Because when we are told to “NOT” put attention on something, what do we do? We actually put our attention on it. Example: Don’t think about a pink elephant. What are you thinking about? Right.

The key then, is not to RESIST a thought that is contrary to what you wish, but to REDIRECT your thought from the “undesired” to the “desired.” What you resist persists.

So, your opportunity is to shift from resisting to redirecting your thoughts. From battling to befriending.

Example

You’d like to manifest a fulfilling romantic relationship. You’ve just had another one come to an end where you experienced a newly discovered dynamic which you dislike. You catch yourself thinking, “Ugg, it’s just one thing after another! I’ll never have a relationship!” Your attention becomes fixated on the latest unpleasant character flaw you had to deal with.” You direct a lot of energy mentally complaining and picking your ex apart. Guess what? This gives what you DON’T WANT a whole lot of energy.

Instead of resisting or battling that which frustrates you, give yourself the opportunity to seek out the best of the situation. First say, “yes” to the frustration so that it can release. (Telling yourself to get over unpleasant feelings is another form of resistance.) Then redirect your attention to positive possibilities instead of deciding this experience determines the fate of your future.

“Yes I’m frustrated. That’s okay. And now I’m even clearer about what I don’t want in a relationship which makes me even clearer about what I DO want. AND I learned that I ignored my instinct. I’ll never do that again. So, now I’m wiser and more ready for something better! As a matter of fact, the truth is that I rarely repeat the same mistake twice. I always learn something. And every relationship I have is better than the last. I’m moving in the right direction.”

Awareness is Key

In this example your attention has been redirected away from what you don’t want to what you do want. Where your attention goes the energy flows.

Being intentional about where your attention goes is truly a Way of Being. It takes practice. The more you do it, the easier it gets. And the more you do it, the better you get at letting unpleasant experiences guide you to more and deeper awareness about the thoughts and beliefs you hold.

One of the trickiest aspects of becoming more intentional is catching yourself when you’re being unintentional. In other words, our unconscious default thinking can be our greatest saboteur.

So, the key is to become AWARE of your default thinking. Once you’re aware, you can practice Recognizing the resistance and Redirecting your thoughts. The following exercise is designed to raise your awareness, so that you can effectively practice this tenet.

PREP:

Before even attempting Recognize and Redirect (R&R), take 15 minutes to sit down and consider a life goal or dream you have: Expanded Prosperity? Fulfilling Relationship? A trip to Australia? An advanced college degree? Once you’ve identified your goal or dream, make a list of every thought and feeling you usually have on the subject. I’m talking about the very human, knee-jerk reactions of doubt, insecurity and discouragement not what you think are the “right answers.”

PRACTICE:

This list of “negative default thinking” will become your list of Resistance Triggers. Now that you’re aware, every time you think one of these thoughts, allow them to TRIGGER the awareness that you have an opportunity to REDIRECT your attention intentionally.

AFFIRMATIONS:

Need a little help priming the energetic pump to practice Tenet #6? Here are a few:

• I am willing to recognize all limiting thoughts and easily redirect them toward infinite possibilities!
• I am willing to have my attention easily guided to the highest possibility under all conditions.
• I am willing to make the best of every situation no matter what!

Try it and keep me posted!

I’ve been riding my latest wave of e-x-p-a-n-s-i-o-n after interviewing Nan Akasha, Abundance Mind-Set Guide for our True Prosperity Club. Awesome! She shared a very powerful exercise that guides you to envision money as a person and explore your relationship with it from a very human perspective.

I’ve been exploring my relationship with money and cultivating my prosperity consciousness very intentionally since 1999. Yet, this concept turned on a few new light bulbs for sure.

After taking myself through the exercise, not only did I discover more about MY relationship with money, but I got deeper clarity about something I’ve long known. How you are in your human relationships is how you are in your relationships with EVERYTHING.

If you have abandonment issues with people, you’ll not only expect money to abandon you, you’ll expect the Universe (Source, God, etc.) to abandon you. If you have trust issues with people, you’ll have trust issues with money, Source, etc…

Your expectations in your relationships (conscious and unconscious) are projected everywhere. They basically establish your “set-point” on your Abundance Thermostat. Abundance with money, love, power, freedom… every kind of abundance there is.

And the great news is that once you realize what your set-point is, you can exercise freewill (with the right tools) to RE-SET your thermostat for enough-ness and fulfillment!

Choose YOUR Reality! TM

Sonia
