My sweet, lovely, graceful dog Jasmine passed away a couple of months ago.  She passed on an eclipse, just like my mom, whom I inherited her from.  Magical.

She was an angel, and getting older, falling more, and needing more support.  She took time and care Puppy riding in car.and was ready to go, it felt right.

My 17-year-old daughter misses her so much, they were besties.  They had a wedding ceremony as well; they were true soul mates.  They had grown up together, and it was so hard for my daughter to say goodbye.

I did not want another dog.  My sweet old lady took up a lot of my time and attention, and it felt freeing to go and do whatever I want without having to worry about another being.  

My daughter, on the other hand, really wanted another dog. She slept with Jasmine every night, there was a love hole for my daughter. 

I had just been with my aunt and sister for the weekend, and I met my aunt’s dog Rosie.  This little sweetie pie, I thought, I could see her being an ok dog to have.

I still didn’t want a dog, but there was something about Miss Rosie that I fell in love with.  I’m also not really a fall in love with a dog type of lady.  I like dogs, and I loved Jasmine, but in general, dogs can do their thing, and I do mine.

I kept talking and thinking about sweet little Rosie and kept looking at the pictures I took of her over the weekend (again, weird for me to take pictures of other people’s dogs!).

I let my daughter show me some dogs on Petfinder, I wasn’t too serious about it, just looking.  I told her “It has to look and feel like Rosie.”  

As we were looking, I was thinking about Rosie more, and just texted my aunt to tell her how much I loved her sweet dog.

She wrote me back and asked if we would consider having Rosie for a while.  Whaaat?  I had goosebumps, butterflies, and a big smile on my face!  She said she needed to consider it, and talk to her partner first, so my daughter and I had a few days of waiting for the final answer.I have been practicing manifesting for years, so I knew that if I really wanted this sweetie pie, I needed to feel as if she is already mine, be ok with all outcomes, and trust that the best thing for all involved is happening.

I could feel the high vibration energy and knew this was an aligned situation.  It felt magical and miraculous, continuing this circle of the amazing, loving women from the generation above me passing down their amazing, loving dogs to continue loving me even more.  My aunt and I have always had a psychic connection, and the magical feeling of love was mutual.

I was speaking with a client who lost her dog around the same time as I did.  She was desperate for this one specific new dog.  I was sharing about my situation, and that I was also interested in my aunt’s dog but need to hold onto it loosely in order to manifest what I want.

The moment that session was finished, I looked at my phone and my aunt had texted, confirming the Rosie switch.  More goosebumps, butterflies, and smiles from me and my daughter!

There are always magical surprises to feel and be found if we are aware enough to pay attention and feel them!

 

Here are some tips to follow the flow of energy and manifest beautiful things in your life:

 

Two people surfing!

 

1. Tune in to How You Feel:

 

If I had been paying attention to my brain instead of my intuition, I would never have felt the big love feelings that allowed Rosie to come into our lives.  I would have been too distracted to notice her beautiful energy.

 

Multiple times a day, place your hand on your belly and ask yourself “What am I feeling right now”

 

The more you practice knowing the difference between what you are thoughts and feelings, the easier it will be to follow the flow of energy towards your true path.

 

2. Live in Love as Much as Possible:

 

Letting the feeling of love expand feels good, and helps you to be in the frequency of your higher self so that you can make the most aligned choices.

 

Maybe some people would not think to reach out and let their aunt know that they are in love with her dog.  Maybe it’s a little outside the norm to do this.

 

With me, and this aunt in particular, love is the language we speak.  It felt so good to offer loving appreciation of her sweet little pup.  If I hadn’t felt that flow, expanded and expressed it, the circle of love would have stopped right there.

 

Love is the highest frequency there is, and it is where manifestation happens.  

 

Practicing feeling and expressing love all day is the secret sauce in manifesting what you want.

 

3. Be Present and Trust:

 

To stay in the flow of presence and out of fear, practice noticing when your frequency shifts to frustration, desperation, or resistance energy.

 

This happens to all of us all day long, in big and small ways.

 

When you notice this happening, place your hand on your heart, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that you are safe, and in the loving flow of the divine.

 

For example, with my client wanting the new dog:

 

Instead of: “I have to have this dog, it’s my job to make it happen.”

 

Try: “I trust that the best situation for the highest good of all involved is happening.”

 

The universe is always trying to help us manifest what’s in our highest good. I hope you have as much fun as I do playing with following the flow of this energy!
