Letting Go: the Fastest Path to Manifestation
(© 1991Carol James)

You can't have what you want until you stop needing it. The reason for that is because as long as you need it, you are focused on the fact that you don't have it, therefore you resonate with "not having." The moment you stop needing it, you let go of reminding yourself that you don't have it, and in the "letting go" you open the door to receiving.

This is an important concept for manifestation because you can't get what you want while focusing on what you don't have. Here are some thoughts and behaviors that tell you when you are resonating with "not having":

• You worry about what will happen if you don't get what you want.
• You are afraid that you will get something different from what you want.
• You worry about what will happen if it doesn't come on time.
• You wrack your brains out trying to figure out how to make it come.
• You wrack your brains out trying to figure out why it hasn't come yet.
• You wrack your brains out trying to figure out what you are doing wrong.
• You get angry with yourself for not being able to manifest what you want.
• You keep focusing on what you have, but don't want.
• You keep focusing on what you don’t have, but want.

Letting go, on the other hand, creates a perfect environment for manifestation. Letting go lets nature takes its course, allowing the manifestation to happen naturally, in its own time and in its own way. The best ways to let go are to:

• Trust that all the details will take care of themselves.
• Appreciate what you already have.
• Stay focused on what feels best, is easiest and is already working.

And the most important thing to do is to trust that all is well and right on schedule no matter how things may look, and before you know it you’ll have exactly what you want.
