Abracadabra! Open Sesame? Knock Knock? – How to Manifest Miracles with The Real Magic Words
By simply...woman! on April 17, 2015
by Colette Baron-Reid
Dearest you,
I recently had an interesting conversation with someone who “ knew me when” that reminded me of a secret I want to share with you today. You likely already know it but it’s always good to be reminded when you’re having a teeny bout of spiritual amnesia and forgot “who” is in charge.
I’ve written about this before, about the times I have fallen into “self will run riot” thinking I am in complete control of my universe singing “My Way”, or fallen in with a fear fever, shaking in my bed wondering if the sky might fall on my head or that I might end up a bag lady, will never have a good idea again, and other such delusions.
Yes I said it.
I get like that too sometimes.
But you know that.
Now, this person has not changed much in all the years and still remembers me as I was when I was troubled. And they have a hard time relating to the woman I have become. It’s weird when someone still wants to see you as the old you.
I am so different today.
Let me tell you who I was “back then.”
When I knew this person, I lived hand to mouth. I had no clue how I would pay my rent month to month. I had just gotten clean and sober, and was cleaning up the wreckage of my past. My readings were brand new and I was working 3 jobs. My family was destitute and I had to help out.
I was plagued with low self worth, but like a drowning person grabs a life preserver,
I was also clinging to my new life and the spiritual values I was learning how to embody.
My subconscious patterns set in motion years before were there – yes. But I was rehearsing something more powerful, igniting AH-HA after AH-HA, opening doors like ABRACADABRA. Then I just kept stepping into each door and crawled through every window of opportunity that opened for me.
Yes I wanted certain things MY WAY, and boy o boy did I make it hard on myself falling asleep regularly forgetting I was spirit guided and thinking it was all on my own steam!
But.. I kept asking to be awake and prosperous and purposeful, and that my life could make a difference for others since I got a second chance!
So they asked me what did I do, to get to where I am? What was the secret?
Then they proceeded to complain about all their hard knocks and why this and that didn’t happen and how miserable they still are. They were stuck in a bad relationship because of money, they couldn’t get a job etc. And, if I had their life well.. maybe I wouldn’t have been so “ lucky” bla-bla-bla.
They had a lot of excuses. Good ones too if you only counted the human condition and not the real Power that could change everything.
So .. I said the only thing that ever worked for me every time was to say these 2 magic words. These two simple words are the key to opening the gates of heaven.
Thank You.
You see gratitude before all else, praise before manifestation, glory given to a Higher Power is the Abracadabra, the Open Sesame- the secret handshake between you and the universe.
I remember being so grateful every day that spirit messages flowed like honey. I didn’t always recognize them. Half the time I thought they were sticky goo forcing me to stay in the moment (duh) when I had things to do! But hindsight is 20/20. They were there every step of the way.
And I equally remember how I could so easily forget that I was only part of the equation and how small and contracted my life could appear the minute I unplugged from Source and allowed my small self to lead until an instant flash would wake me up and I was again awash in Thank Yous.
It was also only when I could say Thank You for the harshest experiences, and found I could make some great fertilizer out of all that life S***T that I was able to co-create the life I have now. I am not entitled to anything in my life, I am however responsible to make something of it.
I told this person that the secret is to say Thank You and then do something after.
I am going to share with you some of my secret Abracadabra recipe for success.
Got Lemons? Say Thank You – Make Lemonade- share it, say Thank You.
Got Nothing? Say Thank You- Help someone with less. Say Thank You- And so on.
Feel Poor? Say Thank You- find value in the smallest thing- tithe- say Thank You – and so on.
No Relationship? Say Thank You- buy yourself some flowers- say Thank you- love something for no reason- and so on.
Crappy Relationship? Say Thank you- love yourself more- say Thank You- become the person who could have a better one- say Thank You… and so on.
Experience Loss? Say Thank You- stay broken open- more of you to share- more love to give- say Thank You.
Make a Mistake? Say Thank You- stay humble, make amends- say Thank You- stay open – say Thank You.
Want to Achieve Something? Say Thank You- let go and let Spirit decide the form. Say Thank You.
If it doesn’t come the way you want it? Say Thank You- Spirit has a plan- Say Thank You for that etc.
Dying? Say Thank You… you won’t get another chance to do it over. Not in this lifetime.
My friend was less than impressed. They will keep doing what they are doing and by golly so will I.
There is no room for complacency for me.
No matter what conditions we are faced with -Thank You comes before the manifestation of something better, not after you get it.
Thank You for sharing this moment with me. I know they are precious.
Love you always
