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!

~ You’re single and would like to manifest the “Relationship of Your Dreams”

~You’ve set goals and made New Year’s resolutions in the past, but nothing has ever really “stuck” for the long-term.

~You understand things like the Law of Attraction, energy, and the power of the mind… to a point. But you’ve never really been able to leverage these ideas in any way that made a real and lasting difference in your life.

~You feel caught in a sludgy, unmotivated, stuck sort of inertia, and would welcome some rocket fuel to launch you powerful into the New Year with inspiration and possibility.

P.S. Need some inspiration right now? Read what just one such seeker activated in HER life!

“There is SO MUCH that I’ve accomplished this year! I’ve learned to wait for inspiration from the Universe and it isn’t necessary to work hard to achieve my goals. I have not only manifested a very solid landing for myself after ending a marriage, I’ve created a warm & welcoming living space that suits me and my needs. I’ve moved the divorce along, restarted my graphic design business AND I’m starting an altogether new business. So far I’ve manifested new clients, an internship that will support me in starting my new business, and I’m attracting quality men at a whole new level. But most importantly I have faith that I CAN have it all: an inspiring new business, a great husband and marriage, and children.”

Q: Sonia: You’ KNOW what I’ve been going through trying to manifest a very different experience at work after years of misery! Well, I called in Tuesday to tell you everything I’m learning in the UMSI program is paying off. I’d had a really good day at work Monday and it felt like I’d finally shifted. However, Tuesday afternoon and yesterday I felt out of alignment at work again, more like my usual, despite trying to release resistance via a variety of means, tapping, gratitude listing, etc.

Now on Thursday I’m feeling really good again…almost to where I was when I felt that shift on Monday.

My question is, do manifestations and shifts happen like this, with ups and downs but gradually a larger progression toward the up end? Rather than having them happen all at once, where you cross a line and never go back?

A: Great question! The short answer is YES! Transformation, expansion and shifts – in this physical realm – tend to look like 3 steps forward 1 step back, 2 steps forward 1 step back. I have never experienced, observed, or learned about a person who does not go through this.

Now, I can’t speak to what ultimate Nirvana looks and feels like in this physical realm, but according to what I’ve heard from those who are more enlightened than I (and I continue to research this)… even the most enlightened (Jesus, Buddha, Gurus etc.) in this physical realm experience and perceive the triggers of the ILLUSION. Their Egos get activated. The difference between the more enlightened and the less enlightened is HOW THEY RESPOND to the buttons being pushed. This RESPONSE is what we keep learning about and practicing in the expansion process of understanding Ultimate Manifestation.

The more you can simply welcome the reaction, see it for what it is worth, remember that you have fr.ee will and choice at EVERY MOMENT, and CHOOSE acceptance, allowing, and love WHILE redirecting to Higher Truth… the less you will suffer, the quicker the discomfort will pass, and the more your desires will be in alignment with your soul’s truth AND will you manifest more of what you desire.

Hope this helps.
Blessings,
Sonia

(This article is part of a series that began with the May 18, 2011 issue of Soul Food. To go back to the beginning , CLICK HERE)

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!

“I feel invincible with Sonia in my corner!”

“I was a different person back when I began my work with Sonia. I was beginning the longest journey of medical school and had great confidence in career but not where I wanted…in my relationships. I had
seemed to turn some corner and with every new boyfriend came a bigger danger to myself. My self esteem was low in that area and I had many body pains developing. I was very excited to hear of the powerful work Sonia did from a friend and can’t imagine my life now as it is without her. Sonia gave me immediate relief of physical and emotional pain as well as tools to continue clearing my blocks and tap into my power. She is a wealth of information and a potent intuitive. I have since met my soul mate, had our dream wedding and have Sonia to thank for being our relationship coach and co-creating our perfect wedding ceremony. I just love how I feel invincible with Sonia in my corner, with my dream career as a Naturopathic alternative doctor, my amazing husband, and our first son on the way! I can’t wait for my exhilarating sessions with Sonia to see what manifests next….my dream retreat center!”

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!)

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!
