How to Find Out if the Time is Now
Six powerful ways to figure out if you are ready to manifest a new life
Sometimes in life, we will go through times of great change. Times that appear when we have decided to let go of something that keeps taking up too much space in our life. In the West, many people are trained to be functional within a company, educational or legal structure, or an organization of some sort. This can be of value, if the individual performing the function is happy, inspired, and well. If this is not the case, and they – for whatever reason – decide to keep giving, working, going at it, life can get hard.
An uninspired (non-aligned) flow of energy output cannot be sustainable. This is what happens when people keep doing something that does not make them ‘light up’ or excite them. A classic example of this is burn-out. Burn-outs are great teachers; they are our higher self announcing that our time – our life - is valuable, that our own inner energy is life and that we have denied ourselves access to it.
When this happens, it may be necessary to allow open space to exist without any necessity to keep our program filled up with many things, just so we can come back to ourselves after a period of heavy external focus. Consciously or unconsciously we can create this time to relax, to come back in alignment with our highest purpose in life.
When that time-space is created (through the form of a burn-out or any other way), it may be perceived as an emptiness. Where is our purpose? What we were investing our time and energy in before is no longer an option in this time. Nonetheless, once the letting-go process has continued for a while we can rest in the space that is created. When we accept that this time, this life, is ours , and we embrace it as a blessing, we can rest and release the stress of our previous ways of relating to life, to our profession or to ourselves. Once we are aligned with our own pure energy (which is always available if we take time to allow it), the openness and freedom can bring many ideas and insights. We might find ourselves increasingly inspired and connected to a creative flow. Connection to this flow is what make an artist a true artist. And through this flow, which is innate to all beings in existence, we can become an artist in anything in life. We can become an artist of life.
Often times it is hard to keep up with the flow of ideas and inspiration when we find ourselves in this space; it may seem as if so many ideas and projects and plans and fun things can be manifested when one is in the ease and flow of life energy. It may seem as if millions of ideas and thoughts of great pleasure and potential exist, and all of them are potentially real! Where to focus our energy then? There are infinite ideas and options for life’s beauty to expand through each and every one of us, but which ideas to nourish – and why?
Because bringing a project down to Earth is not an easy task and involves a lot of hands-on work, it is important to really allow time and space to tune in to what is valuable for you in your life choices. Any kind of venture or idea usually takes around three years to get started and build a momentum. Look at this through an analogy: a cart full of stones weighs a lot. It takes a fair amount of consistent hard pushing to get it going. Those are the (at least) three early years of putting in lots of work and connecting with others involved in your idea. Once the cart has some momentum, the pushing requires less effort but still needs to be consistent. After a number of years, your venture, business, project or idea might have created so much momentum that all is in motion and the cart requires hardly any pushing. It will be moving so strongly that it might even be pulling you when you have periods of less or no energy investment. It takes a while to get there, and for that reason it is important to consider a number of things before going ahead and jumping into a project that might need a lot of investing. Investing can mean time, money, effort, or energy in general.
Here are a number of pointers to help you see which ideas are wanting to be manifested, and how to go about the early steps of bringing them to life:
1)How does your idea make you feel?
This is by far
the
number one factor for figuring out whether it is time to manifest an idea which
will eventually lead to a different and more creative and inspired life.
Do you feel like it makes complete and utter sense for you to do this? Does it
feel like you have come to this point in life especially to be able to manifest
this idea or venture? Do you feel excited, joyful and blissed out about the
prospect of this idea coming to life? How does it make you feel, thinking about
investing your time and energy in this project? Does it make you feel valuable?
Purposeful? Engaged? Focused? Important? Does it make you feel aware of your
capacities and potential?
These are all very important questions which can make you feel
the reality that you are in when creating this project and
life for yourself, through yourself. Also, if you do not feel excited, ready, pleased,
or if it simply does not make sense, you can still go ahead with your project
but it might be less efficient. The outside reality usually mirrors your
excitement and engagement. The time might not be now, but that doesn’t mean
your idea or concept is to be discarded or graded not useful. It might just
need more time or other unseen factors before it can come to fruition. Whenever
you do feel the YES you will feel it clearly!
2)What will make your idea work?
Do you have the skills to make your project work? Do you feel like you have the energy and willpower to manifest the project? To manifest comes from the Latin word ‘hand’, so are you ready to really do the hands-on work in order to manifest the life you want?
Ideas are amazing, and lots of work is necessary for them to come to life. Ideas
find their origins in the mental and spiritual realms, and the physical en
energetic realms can be slower and heavier. For that reason, we need to be able
to connect the mind structure, our feelings and emotions, our work in the third
(physical matter) dimension, and our divine inspiration in order to have a
flowing business, venture or project in life.
Do you feel capable and confident that you will be able to do the work and bring the idea down to Earth? Do you feel ready to invest in yourself in order to be able to drive the idea or project? All of these are interesting questions to dig into before heading out to make the jump.
3)What is your intention behind the project, or the inspiration for it?
How did this idea come to you? Do you feel a higher calling for
it to be manifested? Is this idea aligned with your soul’s purpose?
The intention
behind your idea is a
bit like a 30-second elevator speech. It is clear, powerful, direct and to the point
. Yet it is also more than
just a line: it is the essence and central energy of the structure that will be
your inspired idea or venture, through your own, and others’ time and energy investments.
Your intention is very important
and
it is worth taking time to tune in to what it needs to be, not just for
yourself but for all involved in your project - now and in the future. Use it
as a blessing.
4)Do you see your project as a co-creation?
Does your project feel like an individual venture, or do you look at it as an entity that connects all people engaged in it? Will your business or idea be at play energetically, within the great cosmic web of existence? Try to understand that this entity that will be your project is a living being. It is a connecting entity and it will expand and contract through many factors, not in the least your (and others’) energy input. Be aware that this entity will work your intention, and all involved will be a part of the manifestation of it. This will not just be your idea or project, but can benefit many more and allow others to thrive just the same.
5)Is your project sustainable and beneficial to yourself?
During security briefings in the airplane, parents are advised to put on their own oxygen masks before attending to their children. It’s good to understand that your project or idea will be somewhat like a baby. If you’re truly inspired and energized, this project will work, and it will have the potential to absorb and transform lots of your time and energy. You (and other partners or co-creators) will be parenting the entity that is created. Be aware that you might want to work a lot and could potentially lose center in the process. Take care of yourself first, and make sure that you are compensated adequately for your time and energy input. Make sure that the project (your baby) is well-fed, and that you get all the fun, peace and rest you need in order to be able to tend to it. Make sure your personal needs are met.
6)How will others benefit from your idea or project?
Once your needs are met, the business or idea can grow in organic ways, and through your inspired action and intention it can feed the inspiration and (emotional, material and spiritual) wealth of others. This will happen when the ball is rolling, the cart is moving along at a strong and solid pace. Then, all who are involved will benefit. You can also consciously assist others in many ways, from creating offerings of support coming out of your surplus profits, to hosting (free) workshops or community activities related to your project or business, and by just using simple common sense and good-hearted interactions with people involved in your ideas and ventures.
