True freedom means to feel expansive liberation on the inside regardless of external circumstances. But HOW do we do that? Truth time: it is not easy, but not only is it possible, it is probable. When I am completely open to the limitless possibilities of the Universe, and know that all that I want is already mine, I am a magnet for all good things. And I have proof – read on!
Working with Made As Intended is a dream come true for me. I was very unhappy in my previous, longtime position in the corporate world, yet I felt powerless to change it. I felt trapped, and longed for FREEDOM. But deep in my mind, I believed freedom would come later. Indeed, freedom would be mine when I retire – only 20 more years! Sound familiar?
I started reading, practicing meditation, and I learned to chant the Sanskrit mantra for Liberation, 108 times using a prayer mala. My awareness slowly started to expand. I wanted out of the job so badly! Then I realized through meditation, and talks with some very wise people, that the first step to my liberation was to ACCEPT where I was right then. Wow, was I in resistance to that idea! But, you know what? As soon as I fully accepted my situation, and EXPRESSED GRATITUDE for it – right where I was in the moment – (and stated it out loud for the Universe) things began to shift. I even had someone come into my office to tell me about a new job opportunity!
That job was not the one for me, and I continued to open up to the limitless possibilities of the Universe. I thought, what if I really can create my reality in exactly the ways I want to experience it? I set a date on the calendar 6 months out. I wrote it down, and pinned it to my office bulletin board. It was my promise to the Universe that I would liberate myself from the job that my soul knew was all wrong for me, that I had outgrown, and from which I was ready to move on.
I’ll be honest: I assumed that a new job would show up within that 6 months, and I would have a smooth transition into whatever was next. That didn’t happen, despite a few different interviews, admittedly for jobs I was not too excited about. Nevertheless, I doubled down on my commitment to myself. I reaffirmed my trust in the Universe by resigning from my position on the predetermined date, without a backup plan, knowing that the Universe would rise to meet me.
I left my position and financial security, continued meditating, and chanting mantras, to raise my energy in order to receive my highest good. Fear would start to creep in, and I redirected it into taking action steps as I was prompted by my intuition. I reached out to Dawn Sprong, Founder of Made As Intended & Co-founder of the Mala Project, to ask if she needed any help. She didn’t. I kept looking forward, knowing that the best thing I could do was keep my energy high, so as to align with my highest good.
A few months later, Dawn contacted me to offer me a position. I am so grateful to her, and for my trust in the Universe. I’m proud that I lovingly mothered my soul, even when it became scary, and continued to trust and align with my highest potential. I feel ecstatic in my new life, in which my soul is expressing itself daily. It feels so LIBERATING!
I’m wearing my 108-Count I AM FREE Mala today (Moonstone with Riverstone), wrapped around my wrist, as a beautiful reminder of my promise to and faith in the Universe. For me, it is tangible, unequivocal proof that I AM FREE. YES, it is PROBABLE! You can begin your liberation journey, and co-create your best reality today!
With so much love & gratitude,
