| Detaching from the outcome of what we desire | | | | maintaining our vibration while remaining |
| is, in my opinion, the trickiest and most | | | | detached. For example, assume the snowstorm |
| difficult manifesting step to master. Here's | | | | is the Universe ensuring you will plant in |
| the dilemma that I'm sure you've run into, | | | | perfect timing to be able to enjoy your |
| first, you identify what you want. Okay, I | | | | garden for the longest, desired time |
| want "a beautiful garden" for example. Then, | | | | possible. |
| you imagine what it would feel like when you | | | | |
| have this beautiful garden. You imagine how | | | | Assume the rain is there to wash the bad soil |
| relaxed you'll feel kicking back and enjoying | | | | away, leaving beautifully irrigated, nutrient |
| the beautiful view; you imagine how | | | | rich soil ready for your artistry. Assume a |
| wonderfully fresh and inviting the aroma of | | | | plant sale is about to be held somewhere and |
| jasmine, honeysuckle and gardenias will be as | | | | you're not meant to buy anything overpriced |
| they take turns blooming throughout the year; | | | | today because then you'll miss out on what |
| you imagine how the sound of birds playing, | | | | you really, really want. |
| hummingbirds spinning and squirrels chasing | | | | |
| each other around your garden oasis lifts | | | | One technique that I use with great success |
| your spirits and instantly makes you feel | | | | for detaching is to completely surrender to |
| inspired and in awe of life. | | | | the worst-case scenario. |
| | | | |
| You imagine sipping your favorite beverage | | | | For example, when the snowstorm shows up I |
| while breathing in the fresh air and relaxing | | | | would say: |
| deliciously into your achievement. | | | | |
| | | | "Okay, if it's meant to be that the worst |
| Now, you're flying high even though you | | | | case scenario happens here and I don't get to |
| haven't begun to break dirt. You plan to go | | | | plant in time for my favorite flowers to |
| to the store to purchase some flowers | | | | bloom, then so be it. It'll be okay. I know |
| tomorrow and thereby begin the physical part | | | | that there's a divine plan in store for my |
| of your manifestation. You wake up feeling | | | | desires and I relax into this plan. I |
| inspired only to discover that a late | | | | surrender to the snow never clearing up. I |
| snowstorm is headed your way and spring will | | | | surrender to my worst fears coming true. And, |
| be postponed for another two weeks or longer. | | | | so what?!? I'll still survive and it'll all |
| | | | be okay!" And, then I'd say, "And, what I |
| You wait two weeks; only to discover that | | | | want is to feel, wonderfully relaxed in my |
| this is going to be the wettest spring in | | | | beautiful garden. And, I enjoy so much |
| history and you can't get into the garden to | | | | imagining my garden that it doesn't matter if |
| start digging without being swept away with | | | | I ever get it or not. However, what I want is |
| the rain. You continue to wait it out; only | | | | to feel the flowers and the dirt in my hands. |
| to get to the nursery and everything is so | | | | What I want is to invite friends and family |
| outrageously priced you can only justify | | | | over to enjoy it with me. I see this |
| affording one small, rose bush that you feel | | | | happening now, in perfect timing and I |
| probably won't make it a week! | | | | relax!" |
| | | | |
| Okay, the power of imagining your ideal | | | | To surrender does not mean to resign. |
| garden is not completely wasted but the | | | | Surrendering is nothing like resignation. You |
| disappointment, however slight, resulting | | | | are simply realigning yourself with the |
| from what we judge as one set back after | | | | knowledge that the Divine Order of life is at |
| another is certainly an indication that our | | | | hand and you are at peace with it now. |
| attachment to what we want is preventing us | | | | |
| from having it. | | | | You will know you are detached when you feel |
| | | | "at peace" no matter what the manifestation |
| On the other hand, if we choose to refuse to | | | | and you feel faithful and content that in |
| judge anything as wrong, but instead choose | | | | perfect timing all that you desire already is |
| to assume the best, then we will be | | | | and will be yours. |
