Another video about manifesting came up shortly after watching the one on ice cream.  This one spoke about manifesting tied to healing.  The more we work with and heal our respective wounded inner child, the easier manifesting becomes.  I know it may seem cliché, but the truth is we really do all have something inside of us that needs to be healed in order to move forward, and once we are healed, we are clear on where we want to go.  We need to make sure that wounded inner child understands and believes that we are worthy because that part of us, the subconscious/unconscious belief that we aren’t worthy of what we want is holding us back.  We need to learn to pull back to heal. So we start in the present with an idea of where we want to go.  We need to go back to heal, and then we can propel to the future.  This is similar to the action of the bow and arrow.  It is only through being pulled back that we have the momentum to move forward.  We only manifest that which we believe we are worthy of, so we need to do the work at the ground level, at the part of us that doesn’t think we are worthy.

I don’t want to overcomplicate this, especially after talking about the ice cream comparison yesterday.  But I need to be clear that the two ARE related.  As I just stated, we only manifest that which we believe we are worthy of—but also what we are capable of.  So, using the ice cream example—if we want the ice cream and we see it and know where it is at the store but we don’t think we can drive to get it, then we won’t get in the car to get to the store, so…no ice cream.  Or if we were taught that ice cream is something we need to earn, we will constantly look for ways to prove we have earned it.  If we are taught it’s bad, we will think it’s wrong for wanting it or that we are bad for wanting it. So…no ice cream.  But when we have a healthy relationship with ourselves (our self-image and our desires/values) and our abilities, we understand that we have the capability and the capacity to get behind the wheel and make an informed decision about the type and quantity of ice cream we want and then we simply get behind the wheel and confidently drive to purchase it.  So if there is any question on our ability to drive, take the time to figure out where that belief came from and heal it because as soon as we practice enough, we will be on our way to the store.

We tend to overcomplicate these emotions and more often than not it’s more about the path of least resistance.  We believe and do what we are most comfortable with.  Or we do what we believe we are most comfortable with.  We have the ability to do anything and we need to remember that we are able to change course at any time.  We are able to be who we are meant to be at any time.  We just have to decide.  The healing work is painful and I know that’s why I personally avoided it for so long.  I didn’t know what I would find.  I also frustrated myself with the idea that I had to be perfect, I didn’t want to go back because it felt like I was further and further behind every time.  And there was always more, always deeper I needed to go.  Digging deep hurts and it takes time.  But I will say, once I have reached the depths I didn’t want to go to, it did feel better.  That isn’t to say that I leapt forward immediately after that, but there is a point I know that I can’t go any further.  And it is then that I will fly forward and I will be unmatched.  The same is true for all of us.  Pull back the string and do the work and allow ourselves to be propelled forward.  Heal the past.  Be grateful for the present. Be accepting of the future.
