Manifesting is an art-form in the world we live in. I’ve been trying to self - teach myself for over 20 years now and have come to the conclusion that there is none, just that the more carefree and un-attached I am the more willing the universe is reward my request! Recently, I had a call with the amazing Regina (stardusthealing.com). I’ve been questioning the universe for sometime, when the “BIG” funding was going to come through for AQUAMANTRA so that we can expand our operations and grow to raise consciousness everywhere, and I was told that I have so much intense energy around me that I am unable to receive. At first I was surprised by this and then acutely aware that this was in fact what I was doing. I’m intent on getting things accomplished, move forward, be successful that sometimes its challenging to do that and just allow it to fall into place. So what is the happy medium, as they say? I’ve talked about finding your bliss, what seems like 1000 times, yet… when is that going to be a staple in my reality. When will I say enough stress is enough and when will you? I took up crocheting for while during the holidays, that’s a fun zenish sport - and made some fun things, great home-made gifts, but those are more for other people. What can I do to contribute to me? Recently, we had the opportunity to open our home to a friend that was a little down on his luck. He moved in and with him besides, two cats, came two guitars. I used to play guitar when I was a kid, until I met my match with the devious F chord and that was the end of that. But I’ve always loved music. In my 20s I was a post-production producer and was acutely aware of sounds, I love music and how it makes me feel and the piano has always been an instrument that I’ve admired. The energy vibration of music….

Insert a message from Sarasvati - Goddess: “You’re a limitless being. If it seems that you have time, money, or other restrictions, it’s simply because your mind is focused upon the material world. You can unlimit yourself by lifting hte cloak of the material world from your focus. Music is essential for the expression of non-material ideals and energies. Music color our surroundings with emanations from the highest vibrational fields. Surround yourself in music and allow it to stimulate your own creative thinking and to spark new ideas. Flow with the music and give yourself permission to investigate and experiment with putting your creative ideas into action. Enjoy being limitless! - ( Found in my deck of Goddess Guidance Cards by Dorreen Virtue, Ph.D )

I told Regina I wanted to play the piano and she told me go for it! Do what’s rewarding for me! Well, a little casio piano just wouldn’t do. I wanted a big piano with sound, feel and nostalgia. I went on Craig’s List to see how much Piano’s even were. I’m not currently rolling in the dough, so I don’t have the luxury of buying whatever I want… time to manifest. I found online at the perfect space and

time, a FREE Piano! The woman offering it, said that she moved and she couldn’t bring it with her. It was a 1923 Story & Clark upright and it was free to someone who wanted to move it, which I learned is a bit of a challenge all in itself. I went to the local music store and asked them what I should look for and then I went and checked it out. Besides that fact that it was over 100 years old and it had a lot of character, it worked fine. There were only 3 keys that didn’t work and two of them were on either end… Yipee! I also asked the piano energetically if it wanted to come home with me… The awareness I got was fine if I do and fine if I don’t, but it will see I will love it and play it with joy! I had the piano picked up and tuned, and the guy asked me “so do you play?” - I replied, “no” - he said “do you sing?” - I replied, “no”… he kind of scratched his head… “But I’m going to learn both and I’m super excited!” - And that I did! The first day I had my new “old” Piano, I learned how to play and memorized it, Jingle Bells, with two hands! How does it get any better?

Every chance I get I go and practice, my new found bliss… And the point of this? Is that I was desiring getting a piano. I didn’t vision board it, I didn’t think about it, I just had the desire and it showed up. Of course, everyone around me thinks I’m nutz - but this is my life I’m living, not theirs… Just when you think there’s a formula on how to manifest, there’s only one thing to remember… when you raise your vibration to the innocence of sheer excitement and joy, the kind you had when you were a kid and got to experience something for the first time… it is the quickest way to manifest…. the higher the vibration the easier it is for the universe to deliver!

I”m open to all kinds of possibilities so share with me! How do you Manifest? OMG- ARE YOU KIDDING! As I’m writing this, Doreen Virtue Tweeted this:

“Excitement is the magical ingredient that makes manifestations occur rapidly. Get excited about your dreams, and they’ll rush to your side!” - WOW… the universe never ceases to amaze me!

Peace and Blessings!
