Inspiration for Big Manifestation

The chart for the "Star of David" formation on Monday,
August 26th. (This chart is in Pacific Time, for Seattle)

I am not an astrologer, however I have several astrologer friends and colleagues.  NEXT Monday, August 26th there will be the second of two double-sextile formations, creating an auspicious Star of David formation on the chart.

This is a very powerful event, and very rare, and is heralding an excellent time to manifest things.  As one of my astro colleagues, Eileen Grimes, put it in her video blog, this is all about bringing spirit into matter.

Astrological events do not create our reality, rather, the astrology indicates the "time" to do things.  The Star of David formation coming up indicates that the time is right to do work to bring our spiritual and mental intentions into physical reality.  It's a great TIME to MANIFEST!

And it's not just the astrology that we can look to.  Notice that today, August 20th, is also a full moon, a time that is associated with fulfillment and fruition.  It is also late summer, when all of the produce in our world is really coming into ripeness and fecundity.  Everywhere we look all around us there is abundance.  This all adds up to making it easier for us to access abundance too!

Wondering what you can DO to be in the groove of manifestation?  Here are some ideas that can inspire you: this week, but also any time, regardless of the astrology!  (new to this kind of thing? please read the disclaimer at the bottom of the page)

Gratitude Exercise:  Take a moment to presence to all of the amazing things that are going RIGHT in your life. Spend time being thankful for these blessings, big and small.  Gratitude is the foundation of prosperity.

Intention Work: There are so many ways to put your intention for what you want out into the world. One easy method is something I did just last night. Obtain a 7-day glass candle. Find a quiet place to work, and you can imagine infusing this candle with your intentions. You can anoint it with oil or perfume, you can draw images on the glass with a permanent marker, or you can paste photos or images to the glass.  Once you feel satisfied with your work, place the candle in a spot where you will see it all the time, and burn it over the week.  Spend time each day focusing on your intention.  Also, spend time each day working toward your intention.

Meditation:  Spend time each day meditating on what you envision for yourself.  Imagine not just wanting it, imagine having it.  Feel yourself as being the thing that you desire to be, as if it has already happened.  Allow yourself to feel success in your manifestation, and happy about it!  After meditating, as you walk through your day, you will be more inspired to take action toward your goals.

Giving:  Deepak Chopra, in his book, "Creating Affluence" talks about how giving gets us into the flow of energy.  Sometimes when we are in a mindset of lack, we tend to save or hoard, which can further alienate us from the rest of the world, and the flow of abundance.  So, to engage with that endless river of affluence, consider giving to others.  I believe that you can give of your time, energy, food, or money - where ever you would like to see change in your life.

Change Your Luck: Your luck is a function of the way you live your life! In the book, "Change Your Luck" by Richard Wiseman, he offers many different ways to change your luck.  Some examples include making new friends, going to new places, and expanding your network of connections.

Feel Love: Take time to manage your mood.  Happiness supports success!  You can allow yourself to feel the love from the Divine presence - the adoration of you as the Divine's perfect child.  Taking time to care for yourself in this way is a wonderful method to access joy and motivation!

I hope these ideas inspire you!  Many blessings, Jim.

Disclaimer: Intention and Manifestation of specific material objects, or for specific outcomes outside of yourself is tricky business.  Better to focus on self improvement when doing this type of work.  For example, I would not advise attempting to manifest a specific person to fall in love with you.  Rather, I would advise you to manifest love, of yourself, and that you will feel worthy of love from another person.
