Every so often, people ask if I have suggestions for manifestation. I go back and forth on whether I think it is a good thing that we generally don't have magic wands for instant gratification.  Generally, I land on the side of YES--some time between initially identifying the desire and the time when the object is made manifest gives us some time to refine what we asked for. (When I think about things I asked for when I was in high school, I shudder.)

The following are some suggestions for beginning your process of co-creation. They are only suggestions. Some people have more success by creating a vision board, or by otherwise manipulating physical tools. I prefer to reserve my focus for the goal itself. Otherwise, I end up dispersing energy worrying whether I have the right props (which is completely beside the point, right?). Your mileage may vary.

1.  Identify your desire. Write it down in all of the detail you can possibly muster. Include all of the parts that you are envisioning. Give yourself permission to look at the whole thing, exactly the way you see it in your mind's eye. This step can be eye-opening.

2.  Envision yourself having this. Make it a 3-dimensional experience. What does it look like to have it? How does it feel to have it? How do you shift other things in your life to make space for it? Take the steps to make your life ready.

3.  Stand guardian at the portals of your mind. Spend some time being aware of the thought processes that you are having about the thing that you are trying to manifest. Make a list of the "NO" voice in your head. (There IS one. It's okay. The "NO" voice happens to everyone.) Write a response to every block to having your desire.

4.  Spend some time in the silence every day, seeing the picture you envisioned and being grateful that your desired object is already in your life. Spending time with your vision is reinforcing the message that you're sending to the universe that YES, you DO want what you asked for. This is also important because it gives *you* time to reconnect with your vision, and to look again at some ways that you can make space for it in your life.

4 1/2.  Take action: Make the space. Review your desire. Be grateful. Let the manifestation be part of your joy.


For more about manifesting, I suggest that you visit one of the places I love--Boni Lonnsburry's website:  www.LiveaLifeYouLove.com  I started reading her site when I was working for a company that I now refer to as Evil, Inc., and was feeling completely trapped. I was struggling with anxiety and bouts of depression, and the stress of the workplace sent me into a nasty spiral of allergies and respiratory grossness. Reading the site gave me hope, which ultimately helped me find my way again.

I have had the fortune to meet with a number of people who are receiving psychic services for the very first time. They often have a certain look about them, as though they are expecting someone to leap out of a nearby copse of shrubbery and announce, "You're on Candid Camera!"

(I suspect I just dated myself. What is the new-century equivalent? Punked?)

The good news--and there is only good news--is this: There is a distinct lack of shrubbery near my door.

There won't be awkward surprises of any sort.

I am genuinely glad to see my clients.  When they arrive, I welcome them into my sitting room, where I offer them a space on one of my comfortable loveseats. Once they are seated, I offer a cup of tea from my (admittedly large) selection. If they accept, then I invite them to come fully into the room while I gather hot water and various sweeteners.

Once my client's tea and mine are steaming beside us, I say a brief and silent prayer, and then I ask my client what they would like to focus on first.

I encourage my clients to come to the reading with a list of questions they would like to address during our session. It may helpful to put the questions in the order in which we should address them. That will make the list easier to navigate, by means of not having to search the questions to see what is next.

Ask me anything. When you are my client, my first priority is giving you the tools and information that you need to make decisions that will help you go where you want to go. I have answered questions about pets, health, weather...oh, the list goes on.  I am committed to telling you what I can discern, in a compassionate and nurturing manner.

A reading is your time, during which I address what concerns you bring in with you. It is intimate and intense; joyful and affirming.

While my immediate goal is to answer the questions that the client presents, my larger concern is creating a framework within which the client can utilize new information for self-empowerment and more thorough planning and self-care. You will emerge feeling hopeful, refreshed, and renewed.

I stand ready to help. Are you ready to explore the mysteries?

Come now. All are welcome at my table.

Light to you,

Tanisia
