I
Know What I Want, How Can I Make It Happen?
By

 Not
long ago, I ran into my friend Jen at the post office. We fell
into a conversation about how the relationship she truly desired
kept eluding her in spite of her intelligence, physical beauty,
and financial success. Then I ran into Eric at the market hurrying
to get to work. We exchanged a couple of witty remarks about “the
old grind” and he suddenly said with some seriousness, “I
have a great family, a great relationship, a great appreciation
for life, and... I hate my job.” Why is it that some of things
we desire seem to fall into our lap, while other things seem unachievable?
Many of us have been dreaming, visualizing, affirming, praying,
even crying and screaming for what we want and our desires continue
to go unmet.
Throughout time human beings have been sought to build the power
necessary for manifestation. Breaking down what happens between
the moment of initial desire and actual manifestation has become
a major area of study for many of us. Most realize that it requires
some power or energy to make things happen or manifest something.
What are the sources of energy available to us and how do we tap
into these sources? There is Divine Energy, which is the
power that is behind all of creation. This encompasses the stars,
our sun, the planets, and every object and being in our reality.
The closest and easiest power source to learn from, tap into and
study is the power source of our own beings. Where are we building
personal power and where are we draining it? Often times we are
losing power and we are not even aware that we are doing so. It
is crucial that we become more attuned to our power and deepen
in our awareness to plug the leaks and harness the power within
ourselves.
Our ability to feel what is happening with our energy and how
we are expending it is critical. This requires awareness and sensitivity.
As a society we are conditioned to avoid certain feelings, which
dampens our overall ability to feel. Consequently, our response
to the emotions and situations that create these feelings is muted
and incomplete. Feeling fully and deeply is a good thing. Our
ability to feel is directly related to the emotional body. The
emotional body is part of the feminine aspect or principle, whereas
awareness, responding, and choosing are part of the mind or the
masculine aspect.
One might draw an analogy between our ideal natural state and
the proverbial Garden of Eden, where all desires were met and
everything was provided. Judeo-Christian tenets would seek to
place the responsibility for our “falling from grace”
on Eve, who represents the feminine. This is only one small example
of how we are encouraged to polarize the feminine and masculine
aspects of our being. These erroneous beliefs become anchored
in the subconscious and continue the internal rift between the
mind and the emotions or the masculine and feminine aspects. This
disconnection and the dispossession of the emotional body are
a direct result of the discrediting of the female aspect and detachment
from feminine energy that has been perpetuated by the masculine
dominated patriarchy. There are many best selling fiction and
non-fiction books today that address this issue. Some offer support
for healing and restoration. As more consciousness arises and
we acknowledge that we must heal these unhealthy paradigms, many
of us are inspired to answer the call by creating awareness and
transformation deep within ourselves. As we heal ourselves, the
consciousness we feel can begin to direct itself outward to all
of creation including our families, communities, nations, and
world.
Ultimately, the marriage of the divine feminine and masculine
is reflected internally by the alignment and merging of our own
emotional body mind. The resulting equanimity and clarity we receive
is the basis of our power to manifest desire.
This healing and marriage is not a mental process although the
mind plays a very important role. Without the mind opening up
and letting go of its agenda and bullying, there is little room
for the emotional body to stand by its side in total partnership.
The emotional body needs to be recognized, reclaimed, and nurtured.
Once it has started to reintegrate, along with some other aspects,
it needs to be protected, honored, and exercised. It is
the mind's sacred job to witness without judgment, hold space,
create safety, discern, and choose appropriately. And when the
mind is doing its job well, it is open to receiving constant input
from the emotional body, physical body, and heart. In this place
we feel all of our desire, let go of our desire, and experience
the merging of our desire with Divine desire. This is also
known as the Tantric Path.
When we are fully feeling our emotional body, and desire is in
alignment with our heart, mind, and physical body, then manifestation
occurs. When we are in alignment with Divinity and all of creation,
we are able to manifest heaven on earth.
