We’ve all heard stories of miracles…physical healings that can’t be explained, the perfect solution presents itself at just the right time. Miracles absolutely happen in normal and natural circumstances, and we can consciously work at creating them in our lives. Advocates believe these simple eight steps are the key:
- Be clear about what you desire. Focus on what you want, not the means by which it comes about.
- Expect the best. We tend to attract that which we love, fear or expect. Expect the best even when negative circumstances appear. Consistently expect that everything is working to your highest good.
- Let go of fear. When thinking fearfully, your mind sets off related realms of negativity, which blocks your miracle. With just 51 percent faith, your life will begin to turn in the right direction and you start feeling empowered.
- Open your mind to all possibilities. Although miracles unfold in a natural manner, they may come through unexpected channels. If you insist on a “custom” miracle, you risk delaying, diminishing or blocking “the good.”
- See yourself as you want to be. If you desire health, see yourself healthy, filled with energy and enthusiasm. While you understand the fact of your situation, you focus on what you want instead of what you don’t.
- Keep the power. By keeping your miracle a secret, a negative or envious person cannot impart negative energy, and thereby dissipate some of the power of your idea.
- Do what needs to be done. Through the Laws of Attraction, good things move into our lives, but there are things that need to be done, choices to be made. When you are clear about what you want or need, your mind becomes calm and focused, providing a clear channel for guidance.
- Pray often. It helps whether we pray for ourselves or for others, and one doesn’t have to be religious for prayers to be effective. Pray at a time when your surroundings are quiet and you won’t be disturbed. Allow yourself to feel empathy, love and compassion for yourself or the person(s) for whom you are praying. Afterwards, “let go and let God,” and expect that your prayers are being answered.
Hurried to make my ‘done’ stack bigger than my ‘to-do’ stack, distracted by a phone call, clicked ‘Delete.’ Eek. Crap! Are you sure you want to Delete? Pressed NO and breathed thanks for a fairly significant ‘saved time & trauma’ miracle. Drove by the DQ without stopping: a teeny didn’t-make-my-butt-bigger-today miracle. Got up at 2 a.m. to watch a meteor shower in the velvet silence of an alone-with-the-Creator-Who-is-my-very-own-God miracle. Visited infant granddaughter in ICU, paced as she underwent life-saving surgery; watched my lionhearted daughter endure and minister tenderly to her baby, realized she’s my hero. A colossal, everything-looks-different-now miracle.
Life is good. Miracles happen all around, every minute.
Brilliant points! These are wonderful thoughts to keep at the forefront of our minds as we go about our day-to-day lives. I’ve always been fond of saying, “Miracles come in all shapes and sizes.” Occasionally, I’ll be the recipient of such a lovely miracle, way BEYOND what I’d dared hoped, dreamt or prayed for, it’s so clearly a gift from God, who, of course, knows us better than we know ourselves. The timing can be mind-boggling, it’s so right-on! Beautiful words to live by, Mary Beth.
