Your Super Power

This past week when talking to one of my amazing spiritual teachers and friend, Jeanette, she was discussing with me how to go about putting out what I wanted into the universe. Now, we all have things we ‘want’ to have or achieve, but the key to getting them she reminded me is to just ask. And this ability to ‘ask’ is the super power we all possess!

Give up the Control

We often feel that we have to be the ones in power and control, trying to figure everything out, doing, pushing, getting. And the real secret to getting the help we need to achieve our goals, is to ask. Ask who you might be thinking? Asking your higher power! Be it God, Buddha, Angels, the Universe, whomever your belief is in. (and btw, we’ll examine where your belief system came from, but that is for another post on another day 😉 )

However, you may be thinking, I have asked many times in the past and it hasn’t happened. That is because the energy or heart space you are asking from is coming from a place of control, or a space of desperation or fear. This doesn’t work. And when you ask, you need to be asking from a place of pure love and desire.

I have learned that how we word what we want to ask needs to be specific, needs to be authentic, needs to be from a heart space of pure love and desire and needs to come from a place of faith and trust that your higher power will provide it in the appropriate timing for you. Sounds pretty simple and easy, right?

Well, let me tell you, this takes practice gals, lots of practice. Many times we tend to want or begin to ask for things when we have reached a point of frustration, overwhelm, anger and when we begin to ask in these emotions, we are actually blocking the flow of what we truly desire because we are emotionally attached to the outcome. Yep.

The Art of Asking

So, Natalie, you are telling me that if I detach my emotion, ask from a place of love and desire, have no expectation to the outcome and when it will happen, that this will work? Yes. That is what I’m telling you. Now, you can practice this on a smaller scale, for example, pick a random thing you want to see – like a yellow flower or a blue butterfly or find a random penny. Focus on you seeing this for a few days –  ask every day, but ask from the space I talk about above.

Let me tell a recent amazing story that happened to my good friend. She was in need of eye surgery that had to get done which was going to be quite expensive. And she had recently fired a client that brought her in quite a good additional monthly income, which she felt put her at a disadvantage given the situation. She kept wondering how she could pay for the eye surgery that she needed, but had no idea how she was going to be able to afford it, especially given the recent loss of income.

Despite this seemingly dim viewpoint, she stayed trusting and faithful that it would be done and she would have the money needed even though she had no idea how or the timing. A week or two went by and the eye doctor appointment was impending. She was asking to have the money she needed for the surgery from a place of love and desire, trust, with the need to not control the outcome or how, and knowing it would happen.

Getting the Ask

The day of the eye doctor appointment, she went in, met the doctor and after several conversations with his colleagues, he decided to give her the cadillac package for the lowest price! She was really excited because now, this was less money than she was going to need to come up with for the surgery. Excited about the deal, she signed the form for the surgery that day. However, she still didn’t have the money that she needed.

On the way home, she got the idea out of no-where to ask one of her clients to pay for their services til the end of the year. She asked them and they agreed! She was still short about $700, however that day when she check the mail, she was sent a check in the mail of that amount due to a bank error several years back.

Your Super Power You Possess

I tell you this story because there are many more stories exactly like this that I have personally experienced, that my clients and friends have experienced. There are many studies and books on the power of asking that teach exactly what has been explained here. Your only job is to ask from a genuine authentic heart space and let go of any expectations around how or when it will happen.

Have you gotten what you’ve asked for? I’d love to hear what has worked for you below!

Sending you healing and light,

Natalie
