What will your new year’s resolution be when the clock chimes midnight on Tuesday eve’ heralding the end of 2013 and ushering you into Wednesday of 2014?
Will you promise yourself to go to the gym regularly, quit smoking, drink less or perhaps meditate daily?
Perhaps you’ll make a promise to learn something new, like salsa, japanese, tantra yoga or interior design?
Maybe you want your business to ‘take off,’ to land your dream job or have the money to vacation more often?
Do you want to do it differently in 2014? Do you want to make 2014 a year of magic and miracles?
If so, don’t make any new year’s resolutions.
Yes, you read that last sentence correctly. If you want to do it differently and make your life dreamy, abundant, connected, joyful and exciting in 2014, do not make any goals.
Do not make any new year’s resolutions.
Why?
Because you can’t always have what you want, and what you think you want, is often not the best thing for you.
“Woah! Hold up!” you might be thinking. “I thought we could have everything we wanted. Don’t manifesting teachers tell us we can have whatever we wish for?”
Yes, I know and my opinion about the matter may make me unpopular, but I don’t believe this is true.
I think this is the whole truth: You may not be able to always have the things you want, but you can always have the joy they would give you.
I believe that we can’t have everything we want because we are wired a certain way and for certain things.
In your 8th chakra is your soul blueprint, available for you to access and live. Once your chakras 1 – 7 are strong and healthy, you can move up into chakra 8 and begin to discover who you are and what you are destined to be.
Each person has 12 soul energies assigned to them, and together these soul energies make up our soul blueprint (found in chakra 8). Our greatest potential, gifts, talents and abilities are our soul blueprints, and these were assigned to us before we incarnated.
We do not choose what we are here to do, therefore we may not be able to always have the things we want.
Said another way: You can’t have everything you want because it may not be in alignment with your soul’s blueprint.
If you’re destined to be a musician – if one of your soul energies in your chakra 8 is ‘The Musician’ – but you’ve made up your mind that want to become an architect, you’re not fulfilling your greatest potential and missing out on experiencing creative bliss and joy.
If this is the case it is probably also the case that trying to be an architect has always been a struggle. You’ve failed numerous exams, are struggling to get the funds together to afford college and have a sense of dread about not being able to find work.
But you’ve made up your mind that you want to be an architect, and after watching The Secret, you’ve started visualising yourself easily passing your exams, finding the money for school and easily finding a job.
You are doing the manifesting but it isn’t working – and your life isn’t more joyful – so what’s wrong?
You’re not destined to be an architect, and through this channel you cannot be joyful and experience flow, bliss and creative expression.
The only reason why you chose to be an architect was because it seemed to be the job that suited you best but if you’d asked your soul, you would know otherwise.
Your soul knows what you need to be blissfully happy. You don’t. You can’t. We can’t. We are limited – not eternally wise, all knowing and all seeing like our souls.
As soon as we learn to accept that we can’t know what makes us happy, we stop trying. Then, instead we focus on feeling joyful and by doing this we not only commune with our souls we also allow them to lead us to our greatest destiny.
You can’t always have what you want but you can decide how you want to feel: and those things you want, you want them because you want to feel a certain way.
You have control over the way you feel, and when you actively choose to feel good, your soul will bring you those things that give and increase your joy.
The underlying wish in every wish is the desire to feel better.
Think about it for a moment. Think about what you wish for.
Why do you want more money? To feel free, abundant, relaxed or joyful.
Why do you wish for a life-partner? To feel loved, connected, understood and to have a sense of belonging.
And what about health? Why do you want to lose weight and get fit? To feel vibrant, beautiful, joyful or accepted.
See? The core element of every single wish is the desire to improve our lives so that we can feel better.
Because our soul knows much better than we do what makes us happy, we leave the ‘doing’ to our souls and we focus on the ‘being.’ We don’t try to obtain specific goals, instead we go for the generating.
This is the sure-fire way to live a life of magic and miracles.
Through my online school ‘modern mystics’ learn how to manifest their god-given soul-ful lives. A key component to these teachings is “The 10 Manifesting Principles”; the 10 things you MUST do to commune with your soul to manifest a life of magic and miracles.
Usually these teachings are only for school participants but because I want you to start 2014 on the right vibration and live soul-fully, I’m offering it to you for free.
Do it differently this year by letting go of mind generated goals and sinking into the stillness of soul-full joy.
Begin 2014 by expanding your heart chakra in gratitude. Think of all those precious moments in 2013 that were full of connection, beauty and wonder and, in your mind’s eye, watch them come together to create the tapestry of magic and wonder which weaves you into the dawn of 2014.
Wishing you an amazing start to 2014!
in White Light + Love,
Belinda
Oh I just love this approach Belinda, and I’ve always pointed my clients to seek the essence of their desire rather than focus so hard on the “thing” itself! What’s funny is that my ego has been working overtime on keeping me from remembering this, so clearly your message was a missile sent from the Universe (and my Soul!) to remind me!
Wishing you an AMAZING New Year!
Lots of people must relate to this – the bashing-your-head-against-a-wall feeling, trying AGAIN to set and ‘maybe’ reach NYr’s goals, trying to fit your square self into a round hole, KNOWING you’re meant to be doing or pursuing something, but not quite finding your niche, ..or feeling resistance when mentally forcing yourself to think and move in the direction you think you are expected to..
Belinda, before I found your website and your explanations about the chakra system, I had relied on visualisation and heart-centred beliefs most of my life, to reach for my aspirations. I knew there was an INNER something that allowed us to sync with Life, but had never come across any explanation that seemed tangible to me (I’d often wondered about the chakras), and so had never understood how to truly release what I don’t need in order to melt into the positives and REALLY align with my true self. You really do make spirituality more ‘human’ 🙂
Aggressive concepts of ‘goal setting’ and ‘psyching’ oneself up in order to ‘go get’ what you want never worked for me (I’d just get anxious!), and I felt like a failure again and again, as I know plenty of goal-oriented people who set their goals and achieve them, so why couldn’t I? ..not to mention I’m a Capricorn who’s supposed to climb great mountains and conquer her goals?!! lol Big Bummer..
I happened upon your site and your unique way of telling, when I was exhausted, burned out, and basically a shadow of my true self, with no real hope for the future, but clinging on by necessity and sense of responsibility.
By quietly logging on to your online guidance and discovering a simpler, gentler way of rebuilding myself, I have made more personal progress in the last months of 2013 than I thought possible. I’ve scratched the surface, opened a Pandora’s box, and although I still feel very raw and fragile, I’ve simply remembered who I am with growing clarity of where I’m headed, and humble awareness and appreciation for where I’ve been. I feel like I actually HAVE possibilities for 2014 🙂 Thankyou, and may you and yours have a beautiful 2014. X
WOW
I love the universe……
I did my 2014 Vision/ Mood/ Inspiration board yesterday and the themes I had come up for next year is Magical, the desire to be a miracle magnet, peace and bliss. And then Wham this email comes through titled magic and miracles!
Thank you Universe
&
Thank you Belinda
May your 2014 be also filled with Magic and Miracles

Belinda,
I was not going to have new year resolutions. But the insights you provided in this blog article are exactly what i needed to hear. They could not have at a better time. Thank you so much!!!
“You may not be able to always have the things you want, but you can always have the joy they would give you.” Thank you!!
Thanks Sis!!
I have been sitting in my apartment all afternoon listing off the things I want to be different in 2014 and setting numerous goals for myself (once again). Reading your post just gave me a sense of relief and peace…..
In 2014, I am just going to let my life unfold the way it needs to. That is a very scary thought for someone who is used to always having a a goal to reach and is afraid of the ‘mundaneness’ of life.
Instead I am going to let life live through me and enjoy the ride.
Happy New Year! I miss you guys xxx
Hi Belinda,
I,m so glad to find your website and your chakra’s items and how to cleanse it feel so good to me but i have to work a lot to feel more better i feel i will get the fruit of my labor. But i have a question wich some people ask me a lot: Can we protect ourself against curse with aura and chackra cleansing??? May the Universe bless you and ur family..
Belinda, thank you so much for this post and the 10 steps to manifesting. This lesson of getting into alignment has been reinforced a lot lately for me. The way of trying to visualise and affirm in order to manifest feels like a lot of hard work and yes, creates worry. For this reason, I love the ‘amnesia’ advice. Lots of amazing stuff has come to me when I was going with the flow rather than trying too hard. I’ve also found lists I’d written for my ‘dream’ guy and 10 physical things I wanted and realised that I had the guy and the stuff!
Recently I’ve been meditating to clear the chakras, including your white light meditation, and today I found this awesome guided meditation on asking for nothing and receiving everything http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMldMnEfxX8
Hope you don’t mind me sharing it here.
Anyway, LOVE reading your posts and LOVE your wisdom and your work. Thank you truly for sharing it with us xxx
Thank you for sharing ‘The 10 Manifesting Principles’ with us. I just read them and feel a lot more motivated. Happy new year to everyone. xx
I love this approach. How generous you are to share it!
