The Twelve Conditions of a Miracle
By Todd Michael
This is a very easy read, and quite motivating as well. This is a manual to refine the process of manifestation. The author outlines twelve conditions that are essential to the manifestation process and gives explanations/detail as to how to ensure each condition is met. The 12 conditions are as follows.
1. Emptying (letting go of the things that are blocking the flow of good). Michael presents a variety of examples that can be helpful to this process, including meditation, exercise and fasting.
2. Aligning with Spirit (shifting our mindset to align with Universal Mind). The author discusses ways to use compassion, generosity and the awareness of synchronicity to build this skill.
3. Request (asking Universal Mind for what you want). Put your desire into words. Know what feelings you want to experience, and name them. Select requests that serve others as well as yourself.
4. Maximize what you have (build on your resources and talents). Include your health and abundance, your abilities and knowledge.
5. Consistently give (care for your microenvironment, your community, and the planet). Give with great joy, with pure intention, anonymously when able. Channel your gifts to the right places and expect your gifts from the Universe not from those to whom you give.
6. Get grounded (be in the present moment, aware and centered in Spirit). Be childlike and in love with life. Appreciate nature. Always act as if you believe your miracle is here.
7. Visualize (spend time remembering the essence of what you are asking for).
Get in touch with the feelings you want to experience. Spend time in that energy state. Let that become the essence of your request.
8. Be grateful (actively look for things to be thankful for). Speak in a positive way about your life, your friendships, your community. Express gratitude to Spirit every day.
9. Fake it til you make it (persistently act as if your dream has already come true). Work hard to make your manifestation real, and in the meantime behave as if it is already here. Know that your manifestation will happen organically, not in a flash. Be persistent and patient.
10. Participate in the cycle of life (never fight the current of the flow of life, go with the flow). Keep things moving along. Always find ways to give something back to the universe. Use down time to your advantage to plan, recover and repair.
11. Be open to receive (let energy fill your life with joy and pleasure). Be alert to incoming resources, assistance or information. Be wide open and think big. Have a genuine sense of worthiness and always remember that you deserve to have your good.
12. Recycle (recycle all physical resources, share spiritual information and give freely of knowledge). Close the loop of life by recycling everything you can.
Enjoy this wonderful read, full of great parallels from The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes, and full of great ideas to manifest your heart's desire.
Let me know what you think!
Namaste, Dana

Notes from A Skylark,” The Writings of Schulyer Cronley,
What’s Right With YOU?
So many times people ask the question, “What’s wrong with you?” Or, “What’s wrong with him?” A question that, even though the questioner gets the right answer, nine times out of ten he doesn’t help either party very much. We know too much of what is wrong, and not enough of what is right. Next time you meet someone, ask them, “What’s right with you?” and insist on an answer. The answer you may get might be “nothing’s right, everything is wrong!” Then is your chance to proclaim what is right!
