When Life Seems to Go Slow … Or Even Backwards …


“Receptivity is our natural state.  It’s simply not our most well practiced habit.  The solution is to learn how to receive, then spend the rest of your life practicing.   Every minute you do that, is another minute spent enjoying your life.” – Jennifer Hough

 


 

WHY DOESN’T WHAT YOU DESIRE MANIFEST ITSELF? I mean for real. I was listening to a delicious podcast this morning, and it triggered me to share this post. We can be so myopically focused on our desires, our goals, or our dreams. We start taking score of whether those dreams are manifesting, based on a very, very limited perception of what’s possible. When we take score, and judge that things are not happening according to plan, we actually put our attention on a judgment of a process that we cannot see from the “cosmic view.”

When we do that, we actually cause more sluggishness and even more linear, slow “human” results. If you truly want to experience life as a series of “or betters” (i.e., miracles as normal), there are some things you need to know. I’m going to share three of those important reframes here:

WHO KNOWS BETTER; YOU OR INFINITE WISDOM? Infinite wisdom does not operate from the ideas of the limited mind (based on memories, TV shows, and/or culture). It operates using resources we cannot imagine. Stop trying to out-guess the Universe. The more you let yourself “’not know,” the more space consciousness has to deliver the “or betters.” I call them “or betters” because they are better than what the mind tries to come up with. “Or betters” come in the form of the process through which dreams manifest, and what actually manifests. If you love to control things, this will be a hard one for you.

ARE YOU TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE (Be honest!)? Are you trying to prove something? Feel safe by achieving your goal? Be more comfortable? Or, prevent the past from happening again through manifesting what you desire? As soon as any of this energy is in your “wanting,” you have just impeded physics from granting you an “or better.” Why? Because there is nowhere to get to… the purpose is to enjoy. There is nothing to prove. You are already whole and complete, and that is how the Universe sees you. Comfort is not the purpose of life; the adventure is. Preventing the past just brings the past into the present, so now you are right back where you started.

GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY:  It takes changing the entire understanding of life, or a paradigm shift, to change your magnetics. If you are simply intending, wishing or wanting, without shifting your underlying hurts and wounds, it will be a rough road, as you ask the stream of consciousness to go faster, while traveling over rocks. The paradox is that by focusing on wounds, you also attract the same energy. So, how do you make shifts without immersing in the wounds and attracting more yuck? It takes support, assistance and not being alone.

There is so much more to this conversation. I’ll talk about it in our upcoming Facebook Lives. We all have the capacity to change thousands of beliefs by shifting one paradigm. That is both a science and an art. Stay tuned; we’ll talk about it and share those Facebook Lives in our upcoming Wide Awakening Weekly programs.

Here are three things to begin this journey back to yourself and the expansive nature of being alive:

  1. Get an evidence journal for all that happens to you that rocks. Start collecting evidence for that which happens to you everyday; things that make your heart sing… especially the small stuff.
  2. Check out the first three days of the 12 Days of Awakening that we are giving away; these are designed to start your paradigm shift. 
  3. Get yourself in a community that supports this way of thinking. We created one called The Wide Awakening PlaygroundCome join us and get your questions answered!  Experience the awesome power of weekly exercises to assist you to move toward your dreams with ease and flow, instead of your working so dang hard.

Consciousness loves you. You are the taste buds of Infinite Wisdom; therefore, always being served up deliciously and organically. But, it requires that you get out of the way of all that is coming to you. That is both a science and an art. Immerse yourself in learning how to live this way; it’s changed my life and the lives of thousands of other people with whom we’ve worked.

Start with the easy stuff first (those first three steps above), and be a relentless champion of yourself.

With love and an open heart,

Jennifer Hough

I always thought that I had to find the right person…

I know I’ve shared this before, but I think it’s worth revisiting. Thinking about my journey, I regret none of my previous relationships. Studying the laws of physics has given me so much clarity around my time with dear partners from the past.

I always thought I had to find the right person. Nope. Not about that. They find you. And that is based on a few important shifts in thinking that changed my life.

1. LOVE JUST IS – love is in and through everything, available at all times. There’s nothing to create as, if it really is love, then it’s already unconditional. Love that feels conditional is actually more about acceptance or approval.

Upgrade at a cellular level

Upgrade at a cellular level

I just finished a powerful 4 days at our Embodiment Workshop and VIP day here in Asheville and my heart is so full from all the shifts and clarity that happened for myself and for all of us collectively and I wanted to share something with you…

When we upgrade at a cellular level, ‘going direct’ with consciousness, we become part of its flow and push to expansion. We remember our natural state – to move forward and out.

Everything happens for us because consciousness works that way.

I had a dream about holding onto control…

I had a dream where something really spectacular was being built, but all of the recently purchased construction materials I thought I needed, fell into the water as everyone continued to build this awesome vision.

There was a flow to the water like a tide, and it pulled all of the old materials, or the materials that I thought we needed, even if they were new, out to sea. I remember scrambling in my dream to keep the old materials because I thought we needed them. I was telling everyone to get the old materials from the water. And then, at some point, I realized that nobody felt the same urgency as me.

At first, in my dream, I felt unheard, but I realized that was just my ego. I haven’t remembered a dream in a while as I’ve been integrating with some changes. So I knew that this dream was really important.
