My guide kept repeating the words, ‘Expectancy and Feelings’ and gave me a picture of a children’s spinning top and throughout the years I’ve always seen a correlation between what our state of feelings are and what our thoughts are doing (expectancy and manifesting through your thoughts).

Feelings lead to thoughts and thoughts lead to manifestations and for anybody interested in exploring this universal law of receiving I'm hoping below it will become a little clearer.



We cannot manifest what we want (with our left brain engaged) if our feelings are not in alignment with what we want. We can huff and puff and draw up as many dream boards as we wish but our emotions need to be fully on board.

Our imagination comes primarily from a ‘thoughts’ source point and so when we're fantasising (engaging our thoughts/minds) about a wonderful new relationship (thinking) BUT our feelings are stuck in a place of hurt, pain, fear, disappointment or unforgiveness, then what we have right now would be a conflictive situation between our heart and our mind and all we're going to bring into our space is more hurt, pain, fear, disappointment or unforgiveness which will just further compact our incongruent self view of life.


What we desire in our hearts with our feelings is a frequency we’re focusing on in with our emotions and this is what we're sending out into to the world. If we're dreaming about a wonderful new relationship that’s going to complete us ‘but’ our feelings keep telling us that we aren't in a place of trust yet, then we're better off leaving the idea of dating for a while and instead focusing on what it is we don’t trust about future relationships.

Most of the time, it isn’t others we don’t trust but rather our lack of confidence in our own ability to make the right choices for ourselves (spotting red flags in others, for instance). So instead, we project our lack of trust onto others when really we don't trust ourselves.

This is the sort of thing I see when feelings aren't in alignment with what a client wants. When we straighten out the 'feelings' issues then the manifesting occur.


Now, I’m old school. I believe we attract a whole bunch of mess to us, all the time; irrespective of who we are and what condition we're in. Human life is messy.

I don’t believe that if we’re floating around like Jesus that we're only going to attract positive people OR that because we have karmic people around us that karmically we've attracted them to us because of our low frequency.

No, that’s a religious blame game that's crept over from religion into spirituality and it has no place in our inner relationship with our creator.

We can be running around emanating the highest frequency and still attract people into our lives that we don’t want but it’s a ‘sound mind’ that understands how to deal with these situations appropriately.


What I’m highlighting here today is that if we’re ‘feelings-led’ in life, we may walk into karmic lessons repeatedly because there's a disparity within our self and the universe wants to highlight this and show that change needs to happen.

There are so many examples. We may want a comfortable lifestyle but we struggle with showing we have money because we were brought up to be an inverted snob. We may want friends but we don't trust anyone. We desire a fulfilling career but we struggle with confidence and self-belief. What we feel has a huge impact on our day to day lives.



The Pro’s and the Double-minded

An easy analogy if you’ve ever experienced living in big cities.

Professional pedestrians who live in New York or London, etc, don’t dawdle, they spot a gap and go for it; they’re spatially aware and are agile enough to zip and dart through the crowds.

They know where they’re going and they’re going to get there. Not a doubt in their mind. They know every short cut; they know their transport links and they dance this rhythm like a ballet dancer on a crowded stage. They have on practical shoes with their smarts in a bag and their back-pack is closely guarded; we’re talking the crème de la crème of efficiency and the buzz of adrenaline is the challenge they enjoy.

Let’s look at another professional pedestrian who navigates the early morning rush-hour, this person is also congruent but this person is on the other end of the spectrum. This person is in a bad mood, blaming the effects of everything on everyone. They might wear impractical shoes and when their feet hurt but it’s the trains' fault for being late and all the standing around they had to do. They bump into people but they feel that other people should look where they’re going, etc.

This person’s view is entitled. Everything is somebody else’s fault. They manifest this all day long and it backs up what they believe to be true. They are at one with themselves. Try to tell them that the world can be looked at from an alternative happier perspective and they’ll laugh in your face.

It works for them in a positive way; they receive what they expect and believe they can get away with anything and mostly they do because they believe they can. You’ve met this type; you know what I’m saying.


So lastly then, we have the “A double-minded man, is unstable in all his ways” (James 1:8 Bible). These types want to get to work in suitable time, they’re wearing comfortable shoes. They are conscientious and pro-active and trying to bring their ‘A game’. They also, worry about the transport timetable, they worry about the weather and carry extra clothing. They find the whole journey one long stress-fest. They worry, they stress and they are moaning or fearful. Their life is not what they want. Nothing seems to make them happy.

So, they try altering their schedule; they try to miss rush hour, etc. “I missed my bus/train/tube again!”, “Why does it rain the minute I finish work?”, “I hate my job in the city!” There is always an excuse, always a reason for their unhappiness. They feel helpless. Life has nominated them for ‘Victim of the year’ award and they’re too old to change.


Their mind (thoughts, thinking) is speaking from what’s in their emotional well. This person's ‘feelings’ are saying to their mind: misery, lack, depression, anxiety, self-pity, fear, etc. This person’s ‘mind’ is replying to whatever the level of confidence the individual has accumulated over the years.

It will fall mainly into two main categories at this point, “I’m going to make radical changes”, or “This is my lot!”

But even with the ‘radical change’ individual, they’re still going to be incongruent within themselves over making the decisions and manifesting whatever that ‘radical change' will be, until they take charge of what they want to feel. Their life is run by their emotions; like a ship going up and down on the turbulent waters of the deep sea. Their emotional state and mind are not in agreement and until that can be sorted, peace will be a wishful dream.


Back to Energy and Emotions

We are surrounded by positive and negative energy all the time but it’s the ‘sound mind’ that knows what to do with the negative. A positive person who is congruent with themselves, will switch off from emotional dramas and seek peace OR a person who is congruent with their negative vibes will be happy in their chaos; all day long and both will manifest, all day long, exactly what they want and be happy about it.

Manifesting isn’t about higher frequencies it's about being ‘congruent’ within yourself; being as one.


Religion; manufactured institutions, teaches us that, good children receive heaven and naughty children do not. It keeps us compliant but it isn’t the truth. Sometimes, we'll have learnt the karmic lessons but our guide wants us to learn this subject from all angles, so that we can become a Master in that area. So just because 'stuff happens' its not a reason to through our arms in the air and get into an emotionally led place.

I’ve gone through this in one area and there is really nothing you can do but get on with it and get with the programme. The quicker you learn the quicker the lesson is completed and if you have engaged healthy boundaries in all aspects of your life then side-stepping these problematic issues aren’t going to be a problem. You’ll side-skirt like a pro-pedestrian at the underground tube stations.

If you practice contentment, appreciation, joy and compassion in every situation whilst banishing fear, envy and lack and train yourself to prefer this state, then the dog is wagging the tail. If on the other hand you continue to practice living in fear, envy and lack then the tail is wagging the dog, the ship is without a rudder and the outside tap is turned on but nobody is holding the hose.


When the mind is saying one thing and heart says another then your heart wins, every time. So be watchful of what you feel or rather, watchful of what you allow yourself to feel because THAT is steering your ship, in this game we call life.
