I had the fortune to go to college with many amazing people, among them
Marci Shimoff, who is co-author of Chicken Soup for the Woman’s Soul and who is one of the featured speakers in The Secret DVD.
Marci is coming out with a book soon called “Happy for No Reason”. In it she outlines three requirements for creating what you want; Intention, Attention, and No Tension.
Many of us do quite well with the first two. We clarify our intentions; we give them attention through writing them down and declaring them. We see ourselves already succeeding at what we want.
What is necessary after these first two wonderful steps is to release and relax. To let go and let the manifestation process work. There is wisdom in the old saying, “A watched pot never boils.” It’s like planting a seed and then digging it up every day to see how quickly it is growing.
There are many ways to relax into the state of “No Tension” – silent meditation, gentle deep breathing, walks, baths, naps, massage, petting your pets, acupuncture, restful vacations, and simply switching your focus to something you enjoy that is not related to your goal. All of these will raise your vibration as you bask in the ease of “No Tension”.

Bit by Bit
“Through persistence all things are accomplished” Lewis Bostwick
I have the privilege of watching people create their lives both in my private intuitive readings / energy healings and in my Applying the Secret classes and other Yoga of the Mind classes.
On an energy level, it seems quite natural to want everything to happen instantly and it is true. If you want to experience the vibration of the color blue – you close your eyes and imagine it and you will experience it. If I want a certain goal, I can see, feel and deeply know myself as already having it and then at that moment in the energy/imaginal world, it is already done.
Creating in the physical world often involves process. Process can be the time, space and action required for the physical elements to mold and arrange themselves to match what has already been created in the energy/imaginal world.
Another second level of process is me clearing anything (internal thoughts, emotions, habits, patterns, or previous creations) that is in the way of me creating the new thing I want. This is necessary to raise my vibration to a higher level so I can have my new creation fully. New, deep, soul level inspirations always require we be at a higher vibration to have them.
Persistence is a great quality to have when dealing with either level of these two processes. Persistence can be as simple as spending ten minutes a day meditating on what you want and seeing, feeling and deeply knowing yourself as having it.
The internal clearing process precedes the external. In the beginning of internal clearing the sensations are generally bigger than in the later part of this phase. Thus, in the beginning we really feel that we are “getting somewhere”. As we become more acclimated to the higher vibration, it does not seem as dramatic.
This is often where people give up. And at this point, they are quite near having their goal on an energy level. Once it is fully done on the energy level, the physical process begins
and often accelerates.
So, if you really want something, don’t give up. Try different approaches, clear the internal blocks in different ways. Keep moving and shifting. You are closer than you think.
Several years ago, I went on vacation. I had one plant that I put under a faucet that dripped about once a minute. I hoped this was enough water to keep the plant alive. When I came home a week later, the plant was drenched.
Bit by bit, we are all advancing toward our goals.
Through persistence, all things are accomplished.
