There is only thing I think everyone should know about and use in their lives.
It’s not yoga or green smoothies or even a gratitude practice. Sure, All of these things are very powerful healing aids and I definitely recommend them; but they don’t stand a chance compared to the tool I am about to present to you.
When I discovered this, my life took a 180 degree turn—nothing was the same anymore.
I healed parts of myself I thought were going to be broken until the end of time, I grew my business more quickly than I had ever imagined and magical things started happening for me.
Everything got easier in a way. I started showing up on my yoga mat with more presence and devotion. I was able to lead my clients through deeper transformation and watch them create amazing freedom in their lives.
My body got healthier and my binging on sugar started to decline. I was still feeling sad and frustrated every now and then, but when I did, it didn’t last nearly as long as it used to.
The tool that I started using is not even very new or a secret. Many of us have used it before, but for me, it never yielded any results until now.
For years, I brushed past it, thinking that it’s not for me and that it doesn’t work anyway. Let me tell you about the catalyst to my success and how to effectively use it, so that you can see the results in your own life. Here it is—my secret potion to magic and flow in all areas of your life: prayer.
Yup, it’s that simple. Let me clarify though. In order for prayer to ‘work’ we have to stick to a couple of principles:
You are your questions.
Asking God/The Universe/Love, “What the fuck is going on, why am I always broke?” is not going to yield great results. Since questions are derived from answers, we can be sure that by asking negative questions, we will receive negative answers. If you keep asking why life sucks, you will be reminded at every corner of all the ways in which life sucks. If you ask how life can be more fulfilling, you will come across ways to live a more fulfilled life. These are some of my favorite questions to ask the Universe:
“How can I live in even more abundance?”
“What about this situation am I not seeing?”
“What else can I heal today?”
“How else can I love to my fullest possible capacity today?”
“What’s the next perfect step for me?”
To all of these questions, the Universe can respond in a variety of ways. Take a deep breath in, open your hands to the sky and ask a question you really want answered.
Hand it over.
Tell the Universe exactly what is going on, how you are feeling and ask for it to be lifted up into divine hands. Hand all of your talents, knowledge, money, thoughts, beliefs and body over and ask to be guided. Close your eyes, open your heart and lift your face to the sky. Whatever is going on, allow it to be elevated and transformed in divine light.
“I am handing all of my confusion and pain over to you. May everything that I have and am be lifted into divine hands and be used for the highest good of all. May I be a vessel of light, I am open to your guidance and healing power. I hand this conflict over to you, because by myself I cannot heal this. Please pave the way for my success, I am open to be a servant of the truth.”
Basically, what you are doing is surrendering your human experience and asking to be lifted to a higher state of consciousness which allows you to see more opportunities and call more love into your life.
Open, open, open.
One part of the equation is learning to ask the Universe for what we want and the other is toreceive it. Oftentimes, the reason why prayer doesn’t work isn’t because the prayer sucked but because when the prayer was answered, we were too occupied and closed off to invite the answer into our lives.
Consciously opening up and receiving the gifts we asked for is crucial here.
Remember that whatever comes to you after you’ve prayed can be used as divine medicine. The job loss, the job offer, the unlimited supply of kale—all of these are answers. The more that we can be flexible and see everything that comes into our live as a divine blessing, the faster we will move on to a higher state of consciousness.
May you co-create in awareness and may all the beauty in the world unfold in your life.
