What do you desire?

A few months ago I started working with roses to reveal my path to greater presence and peace.

The visual of a red rose blooming from my heart anchored it in my body. I melt into the petals, nurtured by their softness. The center of my awareness falls gently into my heart and I witness my mind from a deeper place.

I was driving home one day and felt that nervous energy start bounding around in my head along with a thought, “you need to buy some roses." Followed by a brainstorm on the list of places to get them, if I was in the correct turn lane, and if I had enough time to stop. One thought yielded numerous decisions in a short period of time that revved up my nervous system. As if the beautiful experiences I’d created weren't enough.

The idea of getting roses wasn't a bad one. But the energy of it felt grasping. The rose was teaching me to be present in this moment and create easefully. I recognized the dissonance, and eased back into my center, where I felt another thought. This one was an invitation.

“How about you manifest them?”

So I lept, and embraced a world where I was holding physical roses before they were in my hands.

Not all manifestations "click” the way we desire. Coherent energy is like lining up the dominoes so that what you are manifesting is lined up with the shared field of energy that brings them to life in form. When you manifest something, your energy is engaging with a number of other energies so that the dominoes line up and the thing you desire comes into being for you. It's an act of co-creation where the lines between you and everything else blurs without losing yourself in the desires of others and forgetting your own.

When it clicks, you'll know it.  It’s a feeling. It might come through as a sense of completion. For me it's like a zipper that zips up, which literally translates to a “click in place” in the energy field. It can also be head to toe chills, or something you know but can’t explain why you know it.  These are indicators that you are in alignment or coherence with the field of energy that can bring these things to completion.

A few days later, I woke up to a dozen red roses that had been lying on the table out of

water all night. My daughter had received them and didn’t know what to do with them.

So I put them in a mason jar and claimed two for my space.

These are roses, I ran into the day before this all happened in the St Vincent De Paul Gardens in Mesa, Arizona

And guess what. They grew buds, roots and fresh leaves, staying with me for months.

And then a few months later, another dozen roses, and the same thing happened again.

The roses stuck around. Why? I didn't do anything special. No rose food, no regular trims or water replacement.

The key was simpler and more profound: It’s that our energy had entangled in our work together and it was a complimentary match. My desires were complimentary to the energy that brought this desire to blossom

Have you experienced this before? And is it a consistent force in helping to create a fulfilling life?

The key to manifestation starts with your desires.

Know your Desires

 

Desires are nurtured deep within us, inside our navel area and our heart knows them intimately. If you haven't tuned it yet, it may be blocked from view because of old programs that are masking it between the various places inside of you that work together to make them known.

But we all want something. And those wants are hints to the deepest desires of our heart.  If we judge our desires, however inconsequential they may seem, then the clues stay that— undiscovered clues. What if instead of denying them, we bring them forward as windows into what matters most to us so we can explore the deeper desires that our many surface desires connect us to. With each layer of understanding, the depth of our enjoyment increases.

Roses might seem superfluous, but I knew they served my experience. I was attuned to them, physically and energetically, and they were helping me find a more peaceful and present version of myself. Which is a deep desire of mine in this moment.

💡 What desires do you feel most drawn to right now?

Feel your Desire

Feeling our desires is multi-layered. Our center of passion, desire, and creativity is generated in our lower abdomen and understood with our heart. If you meter these feelings based on things you’ve experienced or been told, then our access can get muted, limiting our ability to create and enjoy the life we desire. If you’re ready to open up that access more, then we honor and re-envision the programs we've adopted in the past to support our readiness and willingness to feel more deeply. Know that you only have to go as deep and as slow as you desire. There is no right or wrong. I’ve had multiple clients who started working with me not wanting to feel, asking me to just make the physical pain go away, and as we worked with their pain, they unlocked small levels of pleasure and it whet their appetite to experience more.

The more we enjoy the unfolding, the more levels of desires we can experience and create.

Roses, by their nature, are a sensual exploration of what’s in the heart, as they produce a protected and soft unfurling. So it was natural for me as I melted into their presence to have more access to these feelings in a soft and easeful way. 

💡 Where in your body do you feel desire? Visualize a river of your desire and watch it flow. Where do you see obstructions you can lift out of the river and dissolve in order to experience it in a new way?

Explore your Desires 

Every desire is a doorway to a deeper desire. I describe these desires as energetic states. For example, if you want to eat food that you don’t feel is good for you, instead of running away from it, ask yourself what that food represents for you. Does it give you connection? Pleasure? A feel of control when you don’t feel like you have any? As you sink into those desires, imagine what they are opening up for you and love all the parts of you that want that energetic state.

If you’re looking to earn more money, be with that. Sit with the money tree growing, imagine that money is falling into your hands, where does it go then? Energy isn’t meant to be stalled out. And money is energy. So understanding what that money creates for you and the world is the deeper desire.

You may not wake up tomorrow with a million dollars in your bank account (although you also may), but if you know freedom is what you seek, you can choose to experience that now. And when you choose to experience it now, you create it naturally in every area of your life and every decision as you attract more freedom-creating opportunities to you, and have a clearer line of sight into the most effective way to get there. This is about shifting from judgment (whether it’s situational, self-directed or at others) to seeing each desire as a pathway to something beautiful. It’s about deep acceptance of every part of you, and then calling each part home so it can align around a life that brings you joy and deep satisfaction.

Remember, you are working with a unified field of energy. So it’s not just the plan you put on paper, it’s about all the things you don’t know that a part of you knows.

It’s about the referral you don’t consciously realize is happening, but you suddenly had this feeling to reach out to someone you haven’t talked to in awhile, which happened to be just before they popped onto a call where you happened to be the perfect fit.

Or the funding that needs to go to someone else so they will work with you and both of you can make your dreams a reality. Did you lose funding? Or find a new (funded) partner that changed the game for you?

When you are in this state of feeling free, connected, loved, joyful, easeful, abundant, or whatever other state you desire, clarity to actualize becomes a continuous flow.

Roses opened up the door to being at peace and ease in my daily activities. By anchoring this in, it was easier to return to in the moments I needed it the most, whether or not the situation around me was peaceful. By living life that way, peace found me and my circumstances found a natural path to support me even if it looked different than the goals I put on paper.

💡 What energy state do your desires open up for you? (e.g. Freedom, Flow, Abundance, Connection, etc.) Explore that state, where you feel it in your body, and make it your own. 

Align with your Desires

You're clear and connected and feeling your desires, but there is friction to realizing them. Friction can feel like a foe, but it's actually your friend. Think of friction as someone pointing to a doorway saying "here is more of you ready to be brought into coherence so life can be that much easier".  When you unify yourself around your desires, you are upgrading the programs that are impacting many areas of your life.

Let’s talk about health as an example for this one. If you want health, but you are frustrated with your symptoms and instead of the frustration naturally being honored and discharged, it gets stuck in your body, then you’re creating a friction or tension within your body that makes it difficult for the symptoms to alleviate, for the deeper cause to be healed, and for your experience of the healing process to be easeful.

It might feel like a chicken or egg, but the reality is that you can learn to honor frustration so it flows in and out of you like a way, taking with it everything that is tied to that frustration. Beliefs, experiences, and other associations that were anchoring it in place.

This step of the journey is about seeing all aspects of yourself as supportive so it is safe to be witnessed, then letting it upgrade, integrate or flow in a way that it supports you more easefully now. This is the process of unifying and upgrading the many parts of ourselves that feel like they are in conflict with our desires.

This also manifests outside of us. Imagine those business opportunities above. The expanded version of you has access to all this information without working hard for it, which is why our gut instincts takes us down seemingly strange paths at times. Then somehow, miraculously, it all comes together— and it never would have if we hadn’t listened to our gut.

To deepen this ability to connect with the energy that we are co-creating with to bring our desires to life, we deepen our alignment with our own felt sense of the world. Our heart is what tells us if we are veering off course. If we miss its indicators, or don’t know how to interpret it, or just don’t trust it— it doesn’t beat us up, it just gets a little louder and louder until we listen. The path just realigns around us over and over until we get to where we desire.

The good news is, we will get there! If it’s our heart desires, we are meant to explore them to whatever depth we decide.

The other good news is that we can make the path more easeful if we take the opportunities given us to align our energy around our desires on a day-to-day basis. It isn’t hard, and it can run as deep as you want. But it is powerful. And it is about showing up in the day to day moments. 

The friction point for me was my desire to earn, solve, fix or do things, which prevented me from benefiting from the easy path. By choosing to melt into the rose and then shift from running an errand into manifesting the rose, in one split second I rewrote many layers of that program that biased me towards action vs. receiving.
