Expansion happens when you allow new possibilities to exist

If you are feeling lost about your purpose in life, about what you are meant to do with your life, or how to move into a new, elevated version of your life, then these words will help you welcome in expansion.

Expansion happens when you allow new possibilities to exist in your vision, in your mind.

In your mind, remove the obstacles, the hurdles. Welcome the best version to exist with ease and without resistance.

Like and artist’s blank canvas where anything is possible, let the most miraculous, joyful and beautiful version of yourself and your life take form.

Step into an other-worldly dimension where your dreams can germinate and where your dreams can sprout and bloom, where they can flourish without the mental, societal, familial and human restriction of shouldas, wouldas, couldas.*

(* I define these terms in this way: Shouldas are the things we are told we should do according to outside voice, wouldas are the things we say we would do if xyz was different and couldas are things we regret about and cause ourselves even more mental agony and paid over the past.)

Allow yourself to transcend those restrictions, first in mind, in your vision, then in your body and in your physical environment.

From that place of openness and receiving-mode, listen, look and feel for the next right step, the next right idea, the next right move.

Let the vision drop hints. Then receive them without fear and doubt. From then on, be in a state of flow and ease. Trusting the process of receiving your guidance.

Walking in faith of your vision not in what you currently see around you.

You are the creator of your life

Take this moment to make a new decision, a new choice that brings you closer to the life that you want live. Don’t put too much emphasis on your current reality, rather put efforts towards the new version of your life that you want to bring into reality.

How I Found My Lost Wedding Ring Using Visualization

Creative Visualization is highly powerful for manifesting your dream life and this website is all about using this method for creating our future. But one area where visualization is very useful is in finding lost items.
In this other article, I share with you the one question I asked to find a lost nail.

In this post, I want to share with you another incident where I was able to retrieve a lost item using visualization and inner-guidance.

This is a story of many years ago - around 2012-2013 when we had published our first CD on Creative Visualization. (Yes, it’s that old!). I was living in Asheville, NC and wanted to get the CD out to various stores. I made a list of some alternative healing, yoga and mystic shops in the area and one day set about visiting each of them in person. My quest was to go to each of these shops and ask them if they would carry our CD for sale.

This went on for an entire day. I would drive from shop to shop.

At the end of the day, I got home only to realize that my wedding ring was missing. I didn’t have a huge reaction to this realization as I had grown to be detached to items and I had begun practicing remembering the people and meaning behind things and not get too attached to the things themselves. But this ring was special - it was my wedding ring afterall.

I started to think back at all the places I had been.

Then I closed my eyes to “see” where the ring was. Immediately, I got an image of my ring laying on tarmac - the tar/asphalt concrete of a parking lot. It was a close-up image of the ring - and I could see about a few inches around it and what I saw was some kind of a parking lot.

I got back into my car and went to one of the shops where I had visited that day. I parked my car and started to look around the parking lot. And in a couple of minutes, I saw it. My ring!

It was laying on the parking lot. It was right there, waiting for me to pick it up!

I was stunned that this happened - that I found the ring exactly as the image that came to me in my mind. Of course, I was relieved and went home happily.

The Method of Finding Lost Items

So the method was quite simple. I just closed my eyes to “see” where the ring was. That’s it. No question asked like in the last article where I was looking for a nail. I only closed my eyes and in the next instant, I got the image. The process was easy and smooth. I didn’t skip that image with disapproval, instead, I trusted it and then took action.

Step 1: Remain calm and close your eyes to “see” where the missing object is.
Step 2: Trust the image right away. No second-guessing
Step 3: Immediately take action based on what you see (provided the action will not hurt you or others and doesn’t break and moral, ethical or legal rules and laws).

Keep This In Mind

We may have the habit of neglecting the first answer if we don’t like what it showed you. But it’s important to listen to the first answer and to act on it (again, as long as it doesn’t harm you, others or break any moral, ethical and legal rules and laws). The fact that you take action based on your intuitive guidance sends a strong message to your inner-voice, showing that you trust it and are listening to it.

Also, don’t rely on the first thing you see as the final destination. So in other words, don’t think that the first answer you see is where the thing you are looking for is located. It could be that your inner-voice is guiding you to the next step and then you will have to ask again to get to the next step…kinda like a treasure-hunt. Think of the process like getting cues to get to the first point and once you arrive there you will be getting the cue/hint/guidance for your next step and so on.

If you are more of an auditory person, meaning you get messages in terms of sounds or thoughts/ideas, check out my other article about finding the nail - this is where I audibly asked a question out loud.

How Creative Visualization Can Be A Tool For Finding Lost Items

Creative Visualization is a useful tool that I have begun using for everyday problems. An aspect of creative visualization is tapping into your intuition or your inner-voice or higher-self to get guidance on day-to-day issues. A very common use is to find lost or misplaced items. Recently, I used this method to solve an immediate problem such as finding out “where is the nail?”

Let me expound on that.

Yesterday, I went into my husband’s home office and my eyes fell on a calendar that’s hanging on the wall. The calendar hung on a measly little nail that was strong enough to hold the weight of this tiny wall calendar. But as I flipped through the pages, the calendar came undone and the nail went flying somewhere. Since the floor is covered in carpet, I did not hear it fall.

I first checked the calendar to see if the nail had sneaked in. But no, it was not there. So I got on to the floor and started scanning the area. I could just vacuum the whole room and trust that the nail was picked up. However, we have many tiny soft paws running around our house and to protect our kitties, I wanted to be absolutely sure that I retrieved the nail.

But it was nowhere to be found.

I looked and looked and looked.

I was looking not for a needle in a haystack but a nail on my carpeted floor - the feeling was the same. Overwhelm! How was I going to find it? I lay on the carpet and put my face to the ground so I could be eye-level to the carpet and perhaps, this way I might be able to notice a pointy nail jutting out of the carpet. But to no avail. I then tapped with my palm the entire floor under the wall calendar. Nothing.

Then out of nowhere, I asked out loud, “Where IS the nail?”
And I heard an answer in my head, “In the book.”

As soon as I heard it, I knew intuitively that what was called the “book” was actually the calendar. I didn’t think the nail was hidden in the “book” as I had already checked it. But I checked again anyways. You know how you look for your lost keys throughout the whole house and then when you finally find it, you say to yourself, “I swear I had checked this area before and it was not there”. This has happened to me as well. So I looked again.

Lo and behold, the nail was there. It was snuck between the page and the metal ring and since there was a pen attached, not clearly visible on first glance.

The nail was hidden in the metal ring of the calendar. You see it on the top right corner of the calendar. I’ve placed the nail in a way so it is slightly more visible in this photo.

It was amazing! Simply amazing!

I am still just stunned how quickly the answer came to my question and I how I found this nail! Actually, I should be that surprised as I have used a similar technique to find my lost wedding ring many years ago. Read that technique for finding lost things in this blog post.

So now that I had found the nail, I decided to share this with you so that you too can use creative visualization to solve such everyday problems.

How To Use This Method ?

1. Ask a simple question.
In this example, my question was, “Where is the nail?” Ask it out loud if you can or in your mind or in a private space where you are by yourself and can ask this out loud.

2. Listen to the answer that arises immediately.
The first answer is the one. Don’t skip it to look for “better” next answers.

3. Take action.
It goes without saying but I must mention this: Do what the inner-voice suggests but only do it if it doesn’t harm you, others or break any moral, ethical and legal rules and laws.

Keep This In Mind

We may have the habit of neglecting the first answer if we don’t like the sound of it. But it’s important to listen to the first answer and to act on it (again, as long as it doesn’t harm you, others or break any moral, ethical and legal rules and laws). The fact that you take action based on your intuitive guidance sends a strong message to your inner-voice, showing that you trust it and are listening to it.

Also, don’t rely on the first thing you hear as the final destination. So in other words, don’t think that the first answer you hear is where the thing you are looking for is located. It could be that your inner-voice is guiding you to the next step and then you will have to ask again to get to the next step…kinda like a treasure-hunt. Think of the process like getting cues to get to the first point and once you arrive there you will be getting the cue/hint/guidance for your next step and so on.
