Seven Steps to Creating a Life of Miracles and Joy

Many of us face challenging times in finances, career, relationships, or health at some point in our lives. We may feel powerless against the economic, social, and family forces around us and live our lives feeling bogged down or hampered by our circumstances, not knowing how to change our lives for the better.  

 I have found that we can indeed have tremendous influence over what quality of life we experience.  In my book, Inner Vegas: Creating Miracles Abundance, and Health, I explore in detail the idea that are things we can do to create an enhanced, abundant reality for ourselves.  I back my discoveries with current science and the experience of hosting over sixty-five Inner Vegas Adventure™ workshops over the past 15 years. In these workshops we use the casino as a classroom to learn how to create desired outcomes consistently. When we are in the right pattern of energy we achieve results that would only occur once in a thousand times by chance. 

In my home study course, SyncCreation®, these thoughts are translated into the tools and exercises for its students to achieve this power in their broader lives, producing miracles of healing and joyful manifestations in finances, careers, and relationships. From my experience with this work I have found the following seven principles that I consider essential to creating a life of happiness, good health, and abundance:

Step One - Positive manifestation is empowered by positive energy. The highest quality and most powerful energy flows from a loving heart. So regardless of what is happening in your life now, live as much as possible in open-hearted gratitude and compassion. Find things, regardless of how small, to celebrate about yourself, all others, and the universe. Appreciating beauty and grace in all their forms can help take you there.  Even simply putting your hand over your heart and bringing your awareness there, will help quiet the overactive mind and serve to increase your heart power. 

Step Two - Being well-grounded (which means being strongly connected to the present moment here/now, and not worrying about the past or future) is a key secret to potent creation. Bring your awareness and spirit fully into your body; suffuse your body with energy and light; listen to what your body and emotions are saying to you, as they are brimming with wise guidance. Then feel a strong connection with the earth, so that you are fully spirit and flesh at the same time. 

Principle Three - View the spiritual world as solid, strong, and real – and the physical world as highly changeable by your energy and thought. Spirit is the foundation from which to change the physical. Use the affirmation: “I now claim my dominion and create my reality” to reinforce your position of responsibility and effectiveness. 

Step Four - To form your goals, discover what would make your heart sing if unfettered by limits. Worthy goals are to be treasured as they excite your heart and create passion. See your dream as if it were real right now, fully enjoying how good this manifestation will feel and how it will benefit others. When starting to focus on something that you desire to create, invite your intentions to have surprisingly positive results. Be open to the delightfully unexpected. Remember – patience sweetens passion! It can take time for strongly negative patterns to change to positive ones, so note and appreciate even small signs of progress.

Step Five - Detach from results and from the way “it has to happen” with full trust that goodness will come to you in the manner and timing that is best for your highest purpose. Refresh your energy and visualizations of what you desire organically, when it feels right to do so. Obsessively pushing for what you want implies lack of trust and is counterproductive. 

Step Six - Remember - Fear is expensive and love is priceless—choose wisely. Fear is truly a prayer for what you do not want. To manifest smoothly and quickly, your desire must be substantially greater than your fear. For example, if your fear of being jobless is greater than your desire to find the best job for you, then it is likely that your fear will be manifested rather than your ideal job. It is like a balance scale, where if on one side fear is at 60% and desire on the other side is at 40%, it is likely that you will get more of what you fear. If fear is occupying 40% of your energy and thought, and desire 60%, then manifestation of what you want is more likely but often accompanied by glitches and slowness. As you approach 20% fear and 80% desire it is likely that what you desire will manifest strongly and quickly. 

You do not have to be perfect in this. Some fear is a natural part of anything new. Fear in all its forms, from procrastination, doubt, cynicism, impatience, self-criticism, etc., can be very challenging to release, especially if it is held in life-long patterns. Use meditation, prayer, friendships, coaches, and courses to help you release these limits.  Yet sometimes all that is needed is to simply and non-judgmentally notice a fear, see that it no longer serves you, and then just imagine gently bubbling it away. 

Step Seven - Send positive energy and non-judgment to everyone. See what will help them express themselves most joyfully in this moment (rather than just what they can do for you), for this attracts others to help and guide you. Be joyfully generous with yourself and others, in terms of money, smiles, time, attention, and thought, and the universe will be generous with you. 

Happy Manifesting!
