Any condition in your body, if you have the ability to imagine the perfection (that some disease has now highlighted) . . . if you can get into that place -- the Universe has to deliver it to you.  It is Law.  Ask, and it is given. 

The question is, "Am I letting it in in this moment?" You've been asking, but you've been taking score.  If I want something that isn't coming, it only means one thing. I'm a match to my old belief and not a match to my new desire. If I'm a match to my desire -- it's happening.

If you will say, "I'm going to have fun in this vision. I'm going to have fun in this dream. I'm there already. I'm there vibrationally, and if I'm there vibrationally, I have to be there in terms of manifestation" . . . it must be.

The manifestation always follows the alignment of the Energy -- it always does.

Quote excerpted from an Abraham-Hicks workshop in Phoenix, AZ on Sunday, March 21st, 1999

I don't know about people who only need to lose a few pounds for their lives to be "perfect", but for me, losing weight has always felt like a monkey on my back, my cross to bear.  It's been the thing I've spent more time thinking about in my life than anything else. 

Unfortunately I spent all that time thinking about either "being fat", or about my "lack of being thin", so I attracted a body that is a testament to my focus on those thoughts.  Bless me, I didn't know any better, I thought I was doing the "right" thing, even if that right thing never worked the way I wanted.

I never before thought of myself as weight obsessed . . . I always figured I lived in a weight obsessed society.  A culture that was becoming more and more weight obsessed every year.  But recently I've had to take responsibility for my own focus on my weight, and realize it has not been a monkey on my back, it's been my obsession. 

It wasn't until I started to think about how to change my focus from fat and lack to allowing my perfect body that I also realized the biggest thing that has always been missing from my "weight loss/change my body" efforts in the past.  The very key to change . . .

Which is that I never had a clear idea of where I was going.  Being overweight since infancy, I never had a clear mental picture of what I would look like or what size I wanted to be.  I felt powerless over those specifics, so I never thought about them much, I just craved an illusive ideal of "thin".  Craved what I jealously saw in others.  I blindly figured if I ate less, and ate the "right things" (whatever they were that day), I'd get there, someday, though I was never sure where "there" actually was. 

It didn't work, nor honestly has years of listening to Abraham advice to "focus on the better feeling place".  How do I find the feeling of something if I have no idea what it looks like?  I'm a visual person, I realized I need a picture to inspire the feelings.

I began to think about what "the better feeling place" is for me exactly.  About Abraham's advice to "find the feeling place" and the "vibrational essence of your desires".  When I thought of those things, I have to admit, what I felt was a big empty hole.  Just an vacuum, with small little occasional blips of preferences . . . ideas . . . hopes . . . but no clear vision of myself, actually being and living a version of my goals.  Anything I had imagined was scattered, unconnected, and illusive.

How is it possible to make progress toward a goal that feels scattered, unconnected and illusive?

I've also been thinking about what it takes to replace an obsession.  I've been recreating "what is" for so long, how do I create something different?  Something I'm more passionate about than this situation that I've been recreating because it's been on my mind all my life?

Between Abraham and my acceptance that it's an obsession with me, I realized the big thing missing from my past focus was a clear vision of what I wanted the changes in my life to be.  A clear, vibrant, and passionate idea of what I wanted for my future, regarding my body, my life, my very soul.

I realized it wasn't only about weight, it's about my whole life.  It's about realizing my thoughts today are creating a new reality for me.  They are creating my future.  So I better have a good idea of how I want the tomorrow that I'm creating today, to feel, to look and to vibrate.  I better begin today to feel with my whole heart, what I'm creating now . . . because it's unfolding perfectly whether I create it intentionally or not! 

I need a powerful personal life vision.  A vibrant personal vision of every aspect of my life, including my body.  A vision to use as a powerful tool to create a "feeling home" of what I want my life to be.  A consciously living, pulsing and expanding vision designed to strengthen me and remind me of how I want to feel, act and be on a consistent basis, day in and day out. 

Something I can enjoy creating, sculpting and expanding.  Something I can cling to when I'm tempted or tired.  Something I can expand upon when feeling whimsical and free.  And something to change at will depending on how I am inspired.

"Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil."  James Allen

A powerful vision that vibrates so strongly of who I am at my perfect place of health, happiness and allowing that those feelings become stronger in me than the place I stand in now, or any step along my way. 

I realized that's exactly what Abraham means when they talk about the finding the "feeling place" and the "vibrational essence".

How exciting! 

Now . . . where do I start?

Stay tuned . . .
