Closet Full of Manifested Clothes

For anyone who really knows me, shopping for clothes is not my ideal way to spend time. I will shop at home improvement, furniture and office supply stores. In my manifesting seminars I share the following story and it happened to come up today in a LifeLine Session with a client. As I pondered the conversation, I realized I am still manifesting a closet full of clothes.

Many years ago, I was married, mothering and working – a lot, and yet not feeling like I was accomplishing anything because I didn’t have a million dollars at my disposal, nor was I feeling like the joyous happy person that I knew was in me. I had just become aware of the power of manifesting, so I thought I would give it a try. It was August, I stood in my closet and was feeling a bit dejected because I needed/wanted (the two in my book were one and the same at that time) new clothes. As I looked around my closet I threw out to anyone who was listening – mostly to spirit because I was in a part of the house where no one else was – “I want a new wardrobe.” I even took the request to, “I’m not going to ask for the money or plan on how it is going to come to me. I want a new wardrobe. Thank you.” Then I went about my life; not worrying about how I was going to move this money around or pay on this credit card, to go and purchase some new clothes.

About 2 weeks later it was Labor Day. My husband, children and I were visiting my family in Muskegon, Michigan. We decided we would go out for dinner and my mother went upstairs to change her clothes. She then called down the stairs, “Georgiann, your sister (Mika) has left something for you on the back bedroom bed.” I went upstairs to 3 bags of Christopher and Banks clothes – brand new – all my size! Immediately I called my sister to thank her and find out how this came to be. Her answer was that she was in the store (because it is an activity she likes to do) and every time she turned around there was something in my size and a super good price, so she bought it. I asked how much she spent that day and she couldn’t really remember. She wasn’t asking me to pay for them. Though very grateful for the clothes, I realized I was becoming a little too insistent on how much I owed her for the clothes. After much discussion, I finally said (with a tear in my eye), “Thank you very much” and left it at that. In the past I would force my sister to take some money, or I would go out and purchase her something to “pay” for the kindness and clothes. This was the first time in my life I can recall actually saying thank you with deepest gratitude and not “repaying” the gift.

Fast forward to today. The clothes I am wearing are stylish, fit me beautifully and are incredibly comfortable. I did not spend much time picking out my clothes nor did I directly pay for them. I have manifested an incredible client, Ruth, who wants to pay me in eco-chic, organic, comfortable clothes, instead of money, for her sessions with me. I need/want clothes and she needs/wants LifeLine Sessions with me. Ahh – isn’t manifesting wonderful when we take money out of the equation? Feel free to take a look at her website, http://ruthcekola.kikapaprika.com, if you'd like to discover how to feel great about the clothes in your closet. Please contact her so she can become your personal shopper, too.

Premise of the story – what we ask for we get, period. There is no time frame on a gift from spirit and no amount of anything associated with the gift. Heartfelt gratitude is suffice for a gift from the heart.

The Fall of the Body

The season of Fall is beautiful with the changing colors of the trees (if you live in a climate that participates in this activity). It also represents a transition, some would say death as the leaves stop taking in food and eventually fall to the ground. Nature allows us to view death transition as part of the course of life. When the leaves fall, they are providing nutrients to the ground, returning the gift of compost to the tree that gave it life this past season. The tree then has the energy and support to grow a new layer throughout it’s body, bear new fruit, and serve the animals of air and ground with shade and home space. Our bodies work exactly the same way.

Our bodies are amazing! It is designed to heal, regenerate completely and be whole. Don’t believe me? When was the last time you had a bruise or a cut? Did it heal? Of course it did. When your body is given an environment of love, your body can heal and regenerate even faster!

Death transition happens all the time within our bodies. It is necessary for the growth and change we strive for physically. Every 24 hours our bodies have died and regenerated new blood, portions of liver and spleen/pancreas organs and a large percent of our 75 trillion cells. As the creating and dying aspects of our bodies are in constant movement, you can change the ability of that growth by changing the environment with just a thought. Can you love your body giving it the compost to grow and change for a new season?

A few years ago, my body went through it’s 10th surgery. I donated a kidney, which was the fifth abdominal surgery. I truly love my body and know that though physically removing the organ of the kidney, my body flows and generates all it needs for my lifestyle. I also believe my kidney is regenerating. Not that it is needed because the western medical doctors confirm that my one kidney is functioning as a woman 10 years my junior and as if I had 2 kidneys. The recipient of the other kidney has the same unbelievable story. Doctors are happy but a little confounded as to why this is the case. I just say – I love my body and my body loves me!

When we have the proper quantity, quality and frequency of water, food, rest, exercise, owning your power and joy, we have provided the ideal condition for the body to heal on all levels. These 6 basics are core to self-love and are used to educate LifeLine Technique clients that you can regenerate and be a whole different physical being than you were the day before by working with your body and it’s capabilities of naturally healing itself instead of fighting it which serves no-one, especially you. Be well my friend and tell your body today, no matter what you see in or on your body, I love you body.
