Believe it to receive it

I’ll be honest: I have the great good fortune of being a manifesting magnet. Crazy good circumstances and boons come my way because years ago, I learned this simple manifesting formula:

1) Know what you want.
2) Ask for it.
3) Believe you can have it.

(I would also add work my ass off but that’s another conversation.)

Like most practices and belief systems, my relationship to this manifesting approach needs regular upgrades. As we evolve, so we need to evolve our capacity.

Believe it to receive itI recently had a reading with a healer who, when faced with my current dissatisfactions, pointed me toward the beliefs and thoughts I hold that block my manifesting. ARGH! I wanted answers, not pointing toward more work I must do.

But that is the path of the life artist – it’s not a set and forget approach to manifesting what we want. Our beliefs and thoughts are a perennial garden that need tending. Weeds of fearful thoughts and outdated, toxic beliefs must be rooted out and removed.

Right now, my work is believing I am deserving of the things I want. That sounds easy, but it’s this third step that can be the most challenging. I need to see the beliefs that are blocking the love and replace them with new beliefs. There is a very primal and visceral belief around ‘deserving’ that I must deal with.

For me, my art is always a path to my spiritual growth and enlightenment. During the healing session, I wrote ‘Believe it to receive it.’ In order to receive what I want, I have to believe I can have it. And that I deserve it.

So I made this piece as a reminder for me. I share it as an invitation to open to believing you can have what you want, and to receiving it with joy and gratitude.

What do you notice about how your beliefs impact what you receive?
