Manifest Your Desires

by Esther Hicks


  listening to music that makes your

  heart sing, jogging in a beautiful place,

  petting your cat, walking your dog, and so

  on. Often you are in your highest state of connection

  to Source Energy while you are driving

  your vehicle. Your goal is to release any thought

  that causes resistance so that you are then in a

  place of pure, positive thought. Just find any

  thought that feels good when you think

  it, and practice it until you begin to set

  that tone within you—and then,

  other good-feeling thoughts

  will follow.

  249

  If we were in your physical

  shoes, we would sit quietly, by ourselves,

  in some pleasant place where

  we would not be interrupted—maybe under

  a tree, maybe in our vehicle, maybe in

  the bathroom or garden—and we would

  utilize 10 or 15 minutes, and not much

  more time than that, to quiet our

  mind in meditation.

  250

  For 10 or 15 minutes

  every day, we would

  quiet our mind in meditation;

  we would close our eyes; we would be

  aware of breathing air into our lungs; and

  our intention would be nothing more than

  being in this moment and being consciously

  aware of our breathing … nothing to do other

  than breathe—not fixing breakfast, not combing

  hair, not wondering how someone is

  doing, not thinking about yesterday, not

  worrying about tomorrow, not focusing

  on anything in this moment

  except air in and air out.

  251

  Meditation is a

  state of allowing where, for

  just a few moments, you stop trying

  to make anything happen. It is a

  time when you are saying to your Source

  Energy, to your Inner Being, to your God (or

  whatever you want to call it): Here I am, in

  a state of allowing Source Energy to flow purely

  through me. Fifteen minutes of effort will

  change your life. It will allow the Energy

  that is natural to you to flow; you will

  feel better in the moment, and you

  will feel more energized when

  you come out of it.

  252

  A big benefit from meditation

  that you will notice right

  away is that things you have been

  wanting will begin showing up. Now, why

  is this? Why does 15 minutes of just being,

  set those kinds of things in motion? Because

  you have already been asking, and now, during

  your time of meditation, you have stopped

  the resistance that has been holding it at

  bay. Because of your practiced meditation,

  you are now allowing your

  desires to flow into your

  experience.

  253

  You cannot be part

  of this physical environment

  without endless desires

  being born within you. And as these

  desires are being born within you, the

  Universe is answering them. And now,

  because of 15 minutes of allowing, whether

  you were petting the cat, practicing your

  breathing in meditation, listening to a

  waterfall or soothing music, or were on

  a Rampage of Appreciation … during

  that time of allowing you established

  a vibration that no longer caused

  resistance to the things

  that you have been

  asking for.

  254

  “Well, what if

  I’ve really developed major

  habits of negativity? Is 15 minutes

  going to change that?” Probably

  not right away. But the next time you go

  to one of those negative thoughts, you are

  going to be more aware of it. Your Guidance

  System is going to be stimulated so that

  you will be aware—probably for the

  first time in your life—of what you

  are doing with your Non-Physical

  Energy.

  255

  Everything that

  happens to you and everything

  that happens to everyone

  you know occurs because of the

  Energy that you are summoning and

  allowing or not allowing. Everything is

  about that relationship with Energy. Everyone

  you know who is having every experience

  that you know, is having it because

  of the focused desire that their life has

  brought to them and the state of

  allowing or resistance that they’re

  in at any moment.

  256

  Do you know that

  you could have every deadly

  disease known to man (and some

  they have not even figured out yet) in

  your body right now, and tomorrow they

  could all be gone if—from one day to the

  next—you learned how to allow the Energy to

  flow? We are really not encouraging those kinds

  of quantum leaps; they’re a little uncomfortable.

  What we are really encouraging is that,

  every day, you be selfish enough to say,

  “Nothing is more important than that

  I feel good. And I’m going to find

  ways to do so today.”

  257

  “I’m going to

  begin my day by meditating

  and bringing myself into

  alignment with my Source Energy.

  And as I move through the day, I’m

  going to look for opportunities to appreciate,

  so that all day long I’ll bring myself

  back into Source Energy. If there’s an

  opportunity to praise, I’m going to praise;

  if there’s an opportunity to criticize, I’m

  going to keep my mouth shut and try

  to meditate. If I feel like criticizing,

  I’ll say, ‘Here kitty, kitty,’ and I’ll

  pet my cat till that feeling

  goes away.”

  258

  With just 30 days of mild

  effort, you can go from being one of

  the most resistant people on the planet

  to one of the least resistant people on the

  planet—and then, those who are watching

  you will be amazed by the number of

  manifestations that begin to occur in

  your physical experience.

  259

  We sort of see

  you from an aerial view,

  and it is like you are standing on

  one side of a closed door, and on the

  other side are all the things you have

  been wanting, just leaning up against the

  door, waiting for you to open it. They have

  been there from the first moment you

  asked for them: your lovers, your perfect

  bodies, your ideal jobs, all the money

  that you could ever imagine—

  all the things that you

  have ever wanted!

  260

  Things little and

  things big, things that you

  would call extraordinary and

  significant, and things that you would

  call not very significant—everything that

  you have ever identified that you have ever

  wanted will be lined up right outside your door
r />   … and, in the moment that you open the

  door, all things wanted will flow to you.

  And then we will hold a seminar on

  “How to Deal with Manifestations

  of All This Stuff That

  Is Flowing In.”

  261

  What you think about and what

  manifests in your life experience is

  always a vibrational match; and in the

  same way, what you think about and what

  manifests in your dream state is always

  a vibrational match.

  262

  When you

  dream about something, it

  is always a match to the thoughts

  that you have been thinking, and so—

  since each of your dreams is, in fact, your

  creation—it is not possible for you to dream

  about anything that you have not created

  through your thoughts. The fact that it

  has now manifested in your dream

  state means that you have given it

  a significant amount

  of thought.

  263

  The essence of the way

  you feel about the things you

  think about most will eventually

  manifest in your real-life experience—

  but it takes even less time and attention

  for it to manifest in your dream state.

  And for that reason, your dreams can be

  of immense value in helping you understand

  what you are in the process of

  creating in your awake state.

  264

  If you are in the process of creating

  something that you do not want,

  it would be easier to change the direction

  of your thoughts before it manifests

  than waiting to change your

  thoughts until after it manifests.

  265

  The process for

  evaluating dreams is

  as follows: As you go to bed,

  consciously acknowledge that

  your dreams accurately reflect your

  thoughts. Say to yourself, It is my intention

  to rest well and to awaken refreshed.

  And if there is anything important for me to

  recall from my dream state, I will recall it

  when I awaken. As you awaken,

  before you get up, lie there for a few

  minutes and ask yourself, Do I

  remember anything from my

  dream state?

  266

  Although you

  may be able to recall different

  aspects of your dream state

  throughout the day, usually the best

  chance of recalling your dreams is when

  you first awaken. And as you begin to

  recall one of your dreams, relax and try to

  remember how you felt during the dream

  sequence, for recalling your emotions

  will give you even more important

  information than recalling the

  details of your dream.

  267

  You must give

  significant attention to

  any subject for it to become

  powerful enough to manifest in your

  experience, and quite a bit of attention

  must also be given to a subject before

  it will begin to show up in your dream

  state. For that reason, your more meaningful

  dreams are always accompanied by

  strong emotion; the emotion may feel

  good or bad—but it will always be

  strong enough so that you will

  recognize the feeling.

  268

  “How did I feel

  as that was happening?”

  If you have awakened from a

  very good-feeling dream, you can be

  confident that your dominant thoughts

  surrounding that subject are pointed toward

  manifestations that you do want. When you

  awaken from a bad-feeling dream, know that

  your dominant thoughts are in the process of

  attracting something that you do not want;

  however—no matter where you stand, in terms

  of what is manifesting in your experience,

  you can always make a new decision

  and change the manifestation to

  something that is even more

  pleasing.

  269

  You do not create while

  you are dreaming. Your dream

  is a manifestation of what you have

  been thinking during your awake state.

  However, once you are awake and you are

  now thinking about, or discussing, your

  dream—those thoughts do affect

  your future creations.

  270

  Dreams can give

  you a wonderful insight

  into your current vibrational

  state of being. Your recall of a dream

  is your physical translation of blocks

  of Non-Physical thought that you have

  interacted with in your dream state. When

  you sleep, you reemerge into the Energy of

  the Non-Physical, and you have conversations

  (not conversations in words, but

  vibrational ones). Then, as you are

  awakening, you translate that block

  of thought back into its

  physical equivalent.

  271

  Sometimes when you have

  wanted something for a long while

  but you do not see any way for it to

  really happen, you will experience a

  dream where it does happen. And then, in

  the pleasant recollection of the dream,

  you soften your vibration of

  resistance—and then your

  desire can be fulfilled.

  272

  Your dreams are

  manifestations of your

  vibrational point of attraction,

  so you can evaluate your dreams to

  determine what you are really doing

  with your vibration. Your dreams are,

  sort of, a sneak preview of the essence of

  that which is to come—so if you evaluate

  the content of your dream, you can often

  determine what your point of attraction

  is—and then if you do not wish to

  live out the dream you have been

  dreaming, you can do something

  about changing it.

  273

  As a result of

  the influence surrounding

  you, you may be flowing Energy

  toward financial disaster, or toward a

  body that will not function well. As such,

  your Inner Being, which is aware of what you

  are projecting into your future, may offer you

  a dream showing you where you are going.

  And so, you awaken and you think, Ah, I don’t

  want that! And then you say, What is it I do

  want? And why do I want it? And then you

  start flowing your Energy productively

  toward what you do want, and

  thereby changing your future

  experience.

  274

  To begin the

  process of the Book of

  Positive Aspects: Purchase a

  notebook that feels good when

  you hold it in your hands. Because of

  the action that will be involved in this

  process, not only is an improved degree

  of focus certain, but with the focus will

  come an increase in both your clarity

  and in your feeling of being alive.

  Now,
on the cover of your notebook

  write: My Book of

  Positive Aspects.

  275

  At the top of

  the first page of your

  Positive Aspects notebook, write

  the name, or a brief description, of

  someone or something that you always

  feel good about. It could be the name of

  your lovable cat, your best friend, or the

  person you are in love with. It could be the

  name of your favorite city or restaurant.

  And as you focus upon the name or title

  that you have written, ask yourself

  these questions: What do I like

  about you? Why do I love you so

  much? What are your

  positive aspects?

  276

  Gently and easily,

  begin writing down

  the thoughts that come to you in

  response to your Positive Aspects Questions.

  Do not try to force these ideas,

  but let them flow easily through you onto

  your paper. Write as long as the good-feeling

  thoughts flow, and then read what you have

  written, enjoying your own words. Now,

  turn to the next page and write another

  name or title of someone or something

  that you feel good about, and then

  repeat the process until about

  20 minutes have passed.

  277

  The more positive

  aspects you search for,

  the more you are going to find;

  and the more positive aspects you find,

  the more you will search for more. In

  the Book of Positive Aspects Process, you will

  activate within yourself a high vibration of

  Well-Being (which matches who-you-really-are).

  And you will feel wonderful. And even

  better, this vibration will become so practiced

  that it will become your dominant

  vibration—and all aspects of your

  experience will now begin to
