Alignment is a common phrase in law of attraction speak, and it basically means you are an energetic match for whatever it is you want. You feel good about getting what you want\u2014you are relaxed, happy and there is just that certainty it’s coming.<\/span><\/p>\n You don’t have a strong sense of ‘need’ around what you want to manifest. You are open to your desire manifesting in different ways, and you are not attached to ‘how’ it has to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n In theory, super-easy but in practice, not so much, because our good old friend resistance is still showing up to the party.<\/span><\/p>\n Sure, we may have moments here and there where we are feeling good, but we may not be building much momentum, and those moments don’t last very long.<\/span><\/p>\n We may have some sort of manifestation that boosts our spirits, but the enthusiasm doesn’t last. One little unwanted thing happening can knock us right back down a few vibrational notches. We are largely still living reactively, letting our mood and belief system be primarily influenced by what is happening around us.<\/span><\/p>\n While we don’t have to achieve some perfect state of being to manifest what we want, we do need to be feeling good more than we are feeling badly, we do need to be in alignment more than we are out of it.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are just a few ways to get into alignment, build some real momentum behind the thoughts, beliefs and feelings that will get you what you want and weaken the momentum behind the ones that will keep it from you.<\/span><\/p>\n When working consciously with law of attraction, there is a lot of talk about focusing on ‘what’ we want and releasing on the ‘how.’ And what a tall order that can seem like at times, am I right?<\/span><\/p>\n Just trusting and releasing sounds awesome, and we so want to do it, but our minds just can’t help but wander down that road.<\/span><\/p>\n And that can be a major stumbling block in letting our manifestations in. But, there can be another element messing with us, and that is getting super-attached to the ‘what.’ We have decided we want certain things in our life because they will make us feel good in some way.<\/span><\/p>\n Whatever is floating into our minds now is what we have access to at the moment, and is just one representation of the energy we want to bring into our lives.<\/span><\/p>\n Without us realizing it, we often make the ‘what’ the ‘how.’ We convince ourselves that this specific thing needs to happen in order for us to get what we want.<\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes, what you want right now may be truly the thing you want, but often times, not really. Again, it is just one representation. It is a symbol for something much, much deeper. Whatever you are imaging now is just one fraction of how awesome things can really be.<\/span><\/p>\n The more clearly you can identify those deeper reasons, the easier it is to detach yourself from whatever specific desire you have in mind now. The easier it will be to find ways to line up with your end result energetically NOW, regardless of what your current reality looks like.<\/span><\/p>\n So, you want to ask yourself why<\/b><\/i> you want the things you want. You’ll probably have to go down a few layers to really get at the core of what you are after. The first few rounds will probably still be very closely linked to the specific manifestation on which you have currently set your sights, and your mind will hang onto the idea that this thing is what you truly, truly want.<\/span><\/p>\n For example, you want to get married because you feel ready to have children, or you want more money because you are having trouble meeting your financial responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n Start with your desire you have in mind right now. Why do you want that? And why do you want that ? And why do you want that thing? Keep going until you can’t go anymore. You’ll know when you have reached the core.<\/span><\/p>\n And when doing this, keep things on the positive side as best you can. Don’t focus on what you are not liking in your current reality.<\/span><\/p>\n For example, if you have your sights set on more moolah, you might want your opening ‘why’ to be the desire to meet your financial obligations with ease, not ‘stop hating your life because you don’t have money to do what you want and it sucks.’<\/span><\/p>\n This ‘why’ goes a bit deeper than just the feelings you are after, it will really help you clarify what you truly, truly want. And with that clarity, whatever it is will flow into your life much more quickly and in so many ways.<\/span><\/p>\n You will find it easier to detach from any specific ‘whats’ you have in mind now; you will be more open to the idea of your desire being able to come in a variety of ways, and they will all be awesome. You’ll be less insistent you know ‘best.’<\/span><\/p>\n If we’re being honest, we don’t fully believe we can have what we want. We have our doubts. There are certain beliefs we just can’t seem to shift. We are attached to certain outcomes, we are insistent that the thing we want is the exact thing we want, and there is no acceptable substitute.<\/span><\/p>\n Our vibrations aren’t squeaky clean, far from it. We still rely far too heavy on outside appearances to dictate our emotional state. We can’t let go of the old stories. We will justify feeling badly with all our might, pointing to all the reasons we are entitled to.<\/span><\/p>\n We know we aren’t supposed to be doing this, but we just can’t help it sometimes. There is just so much momentum behind the negative beliefs and feelings, we can’t see a way beyond them, no matter how much we may now ‘know’ we don’t have to keep feeling that way, that we can create whatever reality we choose for ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n And this whole mess doesn’t exactly lend itself to being in alignment with what we want.<\/span><\/p>\n We know we are preventing it, and we get all mad at ourselves and worry what we want will never come.<\/span><\/p>\n We worry we’ll never be able to become a match to what we want.<\/span><\/p>\n We worry we’re screwed, and the thought of things staying as they are fills us with a sense of dread.<\/span><\/p>\n But, here’s the beauty of the situation…you don’t need to become some master of your emotions and drop every limiting belief you hold to begin letting in more of what you want. We certainly slow things down, that is for damn sure. But it is what it is..we have a lot of shifting to do, and it won’t happen overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n But you have no idea what can begin happening when you are just receptive to the concepts(even if you haven’t fully absorbed them and believe them), and for even just a few minutes at a time, enter that space of trust and knowing everything will be okay and you are being loved and supported, knowing amazing shit can happen at any time, knowing things can be better than you imagine right now, even if you have no idea what it looks like.<\/span><\/p>\n You just need a mere willingness to believe things can be different.<\/span><\/p>\n You just need a mere willingness to believe there are things happening behind the scenes of which you cannot conceive or begin to understand (and you don’t NEED to understand.)<\/span><\/p>\n You just need a mere willingness to believe what you want is possible, and it isn’t your job to figure out every component, that you can’t <\/b><\/i>figure it out because there are infinite ways a manifestation can come together.<\/span><\/p>\n In those moments, you begin flowing energy towards what you want, even in the presence of all the other shit. Those delicious moments, even if they are short-lived, are freaking powerful, and you are without a doubt making a contribution towards the energy necessary to let in your manifestation.<\/span><\/p>\n The faster you can shift the better obviously, but don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Don’t beat yourself up because you don’t feel 100 percent trusting and happy every waking moment.<\/span><\/p>\n Aligning with what we want is all about developing those warm, fuzzy feelings that make us a match for said want. And as such, we expect to feel better and better as time goes on. Trust builds. We see manifestations that show us we are on the right track and it gives us a nice boost. Beliefs start to shift.<\/span><\/p>\n And you certainly will. But, it might not be a smooth transition at all points. Energies that are holding you back have to come to the surface to be released or you won’t know they are there.<\/span><\/p>\n You are cleaning energetic house. We may have a tendency to freak out about this because we aren’t expecting it. It doesn’t feel good and we don’t like it.<\/span><\/p>\n We are worrying we went terribly wrong somewhere along the way. We may feel like we are regressing ,or that we haven’t made as much progress as we thought, and we start feeling badly.<\/span><\/p>\n The unwanted energies can feel super-intense at times and it is uncomfortable to say the least.<\/span><\/p>\n It is so important to remember that nothing has gone wrong and it is all just part of the process.<\/span><\/p>\n There have been many points where I was in between ‘levels’ and it was a bit sticky to say the least. I would feel awesome and scared as shit simultaneously.<\/span><\/p>\n One moment I would be riding high and maybe a few hours later, something would happen that would trigger me big time or my mood would just change for no apparent reason.<\/span><\/p>\n I would be feeling really good about certain manifestations and that my energy was shifting and them BAM..the old way of thinking would come along and bitch slap me square in the face.<\/span><\/p>\n Some days I would feel really tired and I just wanted to do nothing but sleep, and that is what I did.<\/span><\/p>\n Then there were the times I wasn’t feeling much of anything, almost like apathy, but not in a negative sense. This is common when you have shifted a lot of energy and resistance and haven’t exactly moved to a higher vibing space.<\/span><\/p>\n You aren’t feeling badly but you might not be feeling much of anything. I once saw this experience referred to as ‘the void,’ and that seems really fitting.<\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes you might feel like you are crazy but you’re not. Energy is just shifting and it’s a good thing, even if it doesn’t always feel good in the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n Just go with the flow as best you can. Do what you can to feel better, but don’t force yourself to feel better. Let whatever comes up come up. You can handle it or else it wouldn’t be surfacing.<\/span><\/p>\n When these energies surface, remember to ask yourself how you can be served by this experience. What is it teaching you? What is it calling your attention to? How will releasing it help you get what you want?<\/span><\/p>\n These questions will help you realize how great it is this energy was brought to your attention so you can deal with it. You want to know what is standing in the way of getting the things you want and being your most awesome self, so you can nip it in the bud.<\/span><\/p>\n Before we started this work, we probably had this vision of just thinking our happy thoughts and then letting everything we want just fall into our laps. Again, if we didn’t have resistance, this would basically be the drill.<\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes it will be that easy, and it’s awesome. You’ll manifest things that you mentioned you wanted in passing and never gave another thought to. You’ll attract awesome stuff you never even thought about or knew you wanted, until you got it.<\/span><\/p>\n But, when it comes to things you have a lot of resistance around because your past experiences make you think you can’t have it, or it is something really important to you, and you just can’t relax or detach so easily, there will be a bit of effort in aligning.<\/span><\/p>\n The good news is, over time it does get easier, and you’ll be able to move into that space of trusting and allowing more easily. It won’t feel as foreign. Outside appearances will have less of an impact.<\/span><\/p>\n Unwanted manifestations won’t freak you out as much, and you’ll be able to mine the wisdom nuggets contained within much more quickly. You’ll be more accepting of their role in the process and how they will ultimately benefit you by bringing your attention to a block or giving you greater clarity about what it is you want.<\/span><\/p>\n Aligning with what we want doesn’t always feel so easy and it’s okay. You aren’t defective or some hopeless case. You’re human and you spent a long time believing crappy beliefs that led you to manifest a boatload of crappy experiences; our true nature has been suppressed, and we spent a long time not having any idea what we are capable of creating.<\/span><\/p>\n Things can start turning around for us quite quickly, but sometimes it can take a bit to really align with what we want when there is a lot of resistance that needs to be worked through, and you do have to exercise some patience.<\/span><\/p>\n Celebrate the manifestations that show your energy is changing, no matter how small. That energy can snowball quite nicely.<\/span><\/p>\n Do whatever you can to raise your energy, doesn’t matter what it is. Seriously, it really doesn’t. Give yourself permission to feel good.<\/span><\/p>\n What did you think of this post? Anything jump out at you in particular?
