How to Allow )( Ask, Believe, Receive

Asking is simple.

Everyone has perfected the art of asking for something. 

• I need more money. 
• I want to be happy. 
• I long to be healthy. 
• I deserve a good life. 

But this is where a huge percentage of the people remain, stuck, in the rut, of asking.  The same persons who ask, follow their reqests with thoughts like...

• I'll never be rich.
• I can't be happy.
• I always get sick.
• I must have done something to deserve this.

If you ask, but do not believe (allow) you will never, ever receive. EVER.  Have you ever heard "careful what you think" or "you get what you ask for" ~ well, keep reading as I define this...

Of course you've heard this one "If there is a will, there is a way", but there is a catch, you have to believe it is possible.  If you don't believe it in your heart and soul, if you don't believe in the YOU that is your being, if you don't believe that you can achieve something, how possibly can you receive it?

Why is such a large percentage of our population stuck in asking mode?  We were brought up this way.  Think of these quotes I bet you can finish the sentences on your own...

• "Money can't buy..."
• "Money isn't..."
• "Money is the root of..."
• "You get what you...."

We are trained that we don't deserve to be healthy and wealthy.  We are trained to feel guilty for having when others do not.  We are trained that it is what is is and that we are unable to reach higher.

Time to retrain the brain!   You DO deserve to be healthy and wealthy.  Do NOT feel guilty for having when others do not (you achieve your greatness and then share with others, let your blessings bless others).  It is not what it is, there is always more that bigger and better.

Now how to get here from there? Take all the steps in between. 

No matter what it is you are asking for, you will get it, but pay attention.  If you ask for money, then say you'll never be rich, you are confirming you'll never be rich, and that's what you'll get. If you ask to be happy, yet focus on your misery, you'll get more of the same.  If you ask to be healthy, but are always affirming that you are always sick, that's what you'll get.  If you ask for a good life, but keep thinking how your life sucks, you'll get more of the same.

Fine tune your request with laser focus, believe in what you ask for, and don't counter your asking with a negative follow up thought.  The strongest thought will win and if you beat the positive thought up with the negative one, the negative one will win because it is stronger in your mind's eye.


When you ask for more money, tell yourself that you allow more money to flow to you.  Do not for one nano second even think that it will never get here.  If you catch yourself sliding into the downward thought process, squelch it.  If you have to, wear a girthy rubberband on your wrist and pop it each time you catch yourself in negative thought!

Now, when asking for money, will this money appear in a paper bag on your porch, probably not.  In the art of allowing, you have to take the steps in between. You ask, then be aware. Look for the rungs of the ladder that are going to get you there.  A new door opening?  A new opportunity presented to you?  Meeting someone and making a business connection?  There are no coincidences, ask, believe, be aware, take the action steps, and always be prepared to receive.

Is this easy?  Heck no!  You literally are retraining your thought process from a lifetime of conditioning.  There are many books on positive thought, and I recommend reading as many as you can get your hands on.

Do you WANT to change your thought patterns?  Then make a choice to do it, and take the steps to get here from there...

Allowing

Good Things Come to those who ALLOW it!

The Law of Attraction is a Wonderous thing, however many people get stuck on steps 2 and 3
Step 1 is simple, ASK!
Step 2 is a bit harder, ALLOW
Step 3 is the toughest as without step 2, step 3 simply will not happen and this is RECEIVE!

Here is where the confusion lay, many whom read a Law of Attraction (LOA) book such as 'The Secret' simply think that they can ASK or THINK about something and that *POOF* it will manifest in their experience.

For instance, some get the impression that they can focus on money, "I need money, let money come to me!" Yet they get gravely disappointed when they don't get money, and instead they receive a new bill or debt. They then get upset with the LOA and say it does not work!

Here is the catch. When you ASK for something, it is delivered no matter what, based upon your focus. If you ask for money, then say 'ACK I will never be able to pay my bills'. Well you are given 'not being able to pay your bills' because that is the focus of your asking. You are asking based upon lack, and not allowance.

One must be aware of how it is delivered, and even if asked for with laser driven precision!

When someone asks for money perhaps an opportunity for a new job will be presented to them. Perhaps they'll get more hours at their current job. Perhaps their neighbor will ask them to pet sit for the weekend. All of these things are the money flowing to them, BUT many do not recognize this as the money because WORK is involved in it. They brush away the opportunity, they do not recognize that they have been provided exactly what they have asked for.

The next time you ASK for something that you need, pay attention the little things, the stepping stones that will lead you to the exact thing you asked for. Simply put, if you do not allow the opportunity into your life, you are blocking the receipt of what it is you are asking for.

Ask. Believe. Receive.
