Intention is everything
Two men looked out from prison bars, One saw mud, the other stars.
I heard the classic song ‘You’ve lost that loving feeling’ by the Righteous Brothers the other day which is said to be the most played song on American radio. The sad lyrics which went around and around in my head, gave me pause for thought. I didn’t want to have the sense of loss the song implies in my consciousness for too long.
With Christmas music playing in the shops, the song ‘Santa Claus is coming to town’ still gives me the same sense of anticipation that I had as a child! I thought more, and decided that keeping a feeling of anticipation, as much as possible, is good as the energy of any feelings, thoughts, intentions we have put out into the cosmos will return to us.
I was in my twenties, when I first read a book on positive thinking which changed my attitude radically. As in the quote at the top of the page about the two prisoners, we can either look at the world positively or look for the worst in any situation. A positive perspective can change everything.
I love the idea that the Universe or the Quantum Field of Possibilities,if you prefer, will react according to our thinking. So having a sense of anticipation of good things coming and visualising our wishes materialising, will result in exactly that. I like the following illustration of how this works. An architect thinks about a specific building, he draws up the plans and then it is built: bringing something out from the mental level onto the physical.
The following is something that my husband and I have done often with great results, with regard to asking for specific things to come into our lives.
How to place a Cosmic Order in 6 easy steps
As with the following suggestions for cosmic ordering, gratitude, believing and feeling happy all contribute to bringing our requests to materialise.
1. Write down what you desire or find a picture of it.
2. Invest emotion in it – feel excited! When we are emotionally involved, it makes it easier for these things to manifest. I have also been told in a meditation, that if we trust the Universe to bring these things into manifestation, then that also makes it easier for the required item to appear.
(Emotions are our indicators, letting us know whether we are on the right vibration. It is positive feelings that bring positive results or, if we are feeling unhappy then it is an obvious indication that something needs changing in our life.)
3. Talk about what you desire, even to yourself – the Universe is listening!
4.Give thanks and release any stressful, needy emotions to try and force it to happen. (Gratitude and not grasping is good because even the Universe prefers gratitude).
5. Act “As if”. To give you an example of mine, of acting ‘as if’. Before I met my husband, Nigel, I wanted a partner and used to walk around the town pretending ‘as if’ I was holding my partner’s hand. Within a year, I had met Nigel, and he always, without me ever asking, holds my hand when we are out walking. It is the exciting visualisation of what you desire that can really help it come into physical focus.
6. Finally, ask the Universe to start acting on it, RIGHT NOW.
As Louis Pasteur put it :’Chance favours the prepared mind‘.

A useful affirmation to repeat, to bring our minds back to the higher positive level of thinking: is this: ‘From the abundance of the Universe, I draw everything today that I need for my spiritual and physical well-being’.
If things do not materialise quickly, it could be that at a subconscious level, we are resistant to the idea i.e. it is not spiritual to be rich. As the abundance of the Universe is there for us all, I believe there is nothing wrong with accepting abundance in any way, shape or form.
If we are thinking about what we haven’t got, or can’t quite believe it is possible, then this can also be a barrier to receiving what we want.
If we are relaxed and trust that it is possible to achieve what we do desire, then that is a much better vibrational pattern to be in, attracting our desires to us.
I hope that these thoughts are of use to you and you receive what you are wishing for, enjoy!
Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and New Year and many blessings to those who are going through difficult situations at this time.

Hi Mary
It was lovely to receive your message today and hear the story of your positive thinking thoughts and requests to the Universe. I loved the story of you manifesting a new love & you picturing holding the hand of someone special & along came Nigel. Such a wonderful story to hear.
