Manifestation in a Nutshell

I'm detouring from landscaping, in a way, to write what I've learned about manifestation since "The Secret" phenomenon exploded.
1. If you believe that you have the ability to manifest your reality, then you have to own that you created everything about your past too.
2. Once you accept your part in creating/attracting everything, you will have to take responsibility, even if you don't understand why, and therefore cannot be a victim of anything.
3. Forgive it all. Especially yourself. Find gratitude that you had the experiences and Let It Go. Any energy focusing on the past keeps it alive and is pointless and can hold you back. The only thing you have is now. Thank you Eckhart Tolle.
4.Once you realize you attract everything, your mindset must change too. Once you know you create your own experiences, believing in an idea without a shadow of a doubt is the only thing you need to focus on. The how and when is up to the universe (Spirit has veto power) and you have to trust that it is so.
5. Find peace in your heart and mind. Slow down and focus on only positive energy. Joy, love, happiness, gratitude etc. This raises your vibrational frequency which matches that of the Universe. When you feel anxious, fearful etc, understand why, then take steps to eliminate the cause. Resistence caused by negative thoughts/emotions will block attracting anything you are trying to create. Meditate, read, nurture yourself (tend your garden!), it's not wasted time.
6. Core limiting beliefs will hold you back just as much as growing in awareness will move you forward. The internal dialogue must match the external dialogue.
I have the pleasure to be able to help people create harmony and balance in their garden. I hope they use the nurturing, healing energy from their gardens to find harmony and balance within themselves. Nice Segway.
Namaste
