Let me begin by saying this: Detachment is the most powerful form of attracting abundance; despite the popular belief that desire/ wanting leads to manifestation.
So let’s begin:
Desire implies resistance. When you say that you want something (ex: I want *insert specific event or thing you want) all you are saying is that you are separate from it and that you don’t have it already. Understand this: You want external things to happen because of the feelings it will provide you. This is true for everything. We want that relationship, that job, that whatever it is… because you believe it will provide those feelings that you tell yourself you don’t already possess, or can’t possess without that external event happening. Outer reality is only a reflection of your inner reality. All of the feelings and energy that you crave are already inside of you, and by separating yourself from them – thinking you may only truly obtain it through your outer environment – you are manipulating your mind into holding you back from it. Ironic right? This block is formed when you say or think things like “I want __” instead of “I have __” or “I am__”.
You have the full power to feel however you want to feel right now. And by doing so – by choosing to embrace those feelings without waiting for the external shift – your outer reality begins to alter in your favor. So, starting off, figure out what feeling you are seeking from that event. Approval, love, freedom, abundance, compassion… whatever it is, they all exist inside of you. By letting go and detaching from the desire (the separation) then you can have it. Period. There is a Buddhist quote that says, “Most of our troubles are due to our passionate desire for and attachment to things that we misapprehend as enduring entities.” Now you understand why desire has been known to be the root of suffering. Let go of desire to let go of suffering. By doing so, your vibration rises and you will begin to perceive more of what you want. Your energy also becomes more attractive, so more gravitates to you (this can take forms of things like opportunities or events). You begin to manifest more of those wants by stepping into your power and taking away desire.
This is why positive affirmations are so important. This is why we feel more empowered when we say “I am __” rather than “I wish I was __” or “I want __”. I mean truly, think of the difference. An example is looking in the mirror and saying “I am beautiful” rather than “I wish I had or looked x,y, and z”, because you ARE beautiful. Changing your physical appearance isn’t going to change your perspective. What’s going to change your external environment is shifting your internal one. So begin standing tall and embracing the power you have. Truly, it is all inside of you; You don’t need to chase it.
Begin by taking the actions and feeling the way your “ideal self” would take and feel.
Since we were little kids we’ve all had specific, varying, unique meaning build inside of us. You can see this when you look at other peoples values and what they prioritize, compared to yourself and others. Everyone’s meaning for everything differs, though because of the power certain industries have in our lives, there is some similarity though. We watch the media, which wires into us the sense of comparison. We have products marketed to us, making us feel that we are unworthy unless we have that product… there are many external factors that are put into play, that actually work to specifically alter our perspectives so that those forces can make a profit off of it (Example: making you believe you need to look a certain way for others to like you.) We each give a specific meaning to everything in life, and we must become aware of the associations we possess to properly let go of them. Going back to that example, you must realize that you think that way because you were taught to. You cannot reverse the past, though at the same time, you are able to change your present and your future to feel the way you want to feel. Meaning. Is. Flexible. Meaning is not rigid. You get to choose. You are able to reframe it. Sometimes it can be difficult because of the strength of the external event (like those industries I talked about) and its popularity…. though remember, it is never stronger than the power and meaning and control YOU give it.
Letting go is the release of the meaning you have been conditioned to associate with what you are focusing on. Free yourself from the limitations and beliefs of your old, conditioned mind to step into your true, authentic power.
“When we are mired in our timeworn mind-set and habitual behaviors and perceptions, there is no way for us to find solutions to problems rooted in the past.” – Dr. Joe Dispenza
