I received this email from Setting Hearts Free and feel it is a very powerful message that I want to share with as many people as possible.

What are you manifesting?

We are all made up of an intricate set of patterns and to understand how the patterns are linked is to begin to understand what and how we manifest.

Some people manifest wonderful things for their business and work and are terrible at manifesting right relationship. Others have all the love and support of community and friends and loved ones but no money. And others still have great amounts of money and support and even good relationships but very poor health.

So what is that all about?

There are different lessons for each of us about what and how we manifest. The way that our belief systems are linked up has everything to do with what we end up creating for ourselves. For example, as a child if you witnessed a family member that put financial success over and above quality relationships with the family and there was conflict and resentment about that, you may have made a subconscious decision that love and financial success do not mix. Therefore subconsciously you would choose one and eliminate the other.

If you witnessed or experienced that lots of love and passion and attention in your family somehow created emotional conflict or that what one parent manifested caused the other one to have negative emotions, you may make a subconscious choice not to manifest love and passion in your life.

In the same way, if you witnessed or experienced as a child that the only time you could manifest love and caring attention to your body was to be in poor health, then your belief about having caring and attention for yourself would require manifesting poor health throughout your whole life.

All of us have made strong subconscious decisions early in life to separate ourselves from what we saw or experienced that we did not like. So there is a built in block to manifesting anything that is linked to a negative experience. The examination of self and what makes us who we are is key to changing our relationship to the way we manifest.

The value of what you manifest is related to the value you have for yourself.

Not the value that someone else places on you but what you place on yourself. There is an erroneous notion that manifesting requires something from the outside, some element outside of us that comes in and makes it happen. Although support is necessary, it is our own energy field that draws towards it the elements around our intentions and turns them into manifestations. Your intention and thoughts and beliefs are the ones that attract the material that creates your life. So it is important that you examine your beliefs about what you think you need from somewhere else in order to manifest, and your expectations of that happening.

There is also an erroneous belief that in order to manifest something you must “go after it”. Although there always needs to be a balance between being and doing, giving and receiving, there is way too much emphasis on going after what you want. Once you set your intention, you need to let it go and then relax, take action as appropriate timing dictates, but let it come to you as you magnetize your desire, and refrain from worry or obsession. It will only get in the way.

The scarcity complex

The scarcity complex is the definition and belief that there is a finite amount of energy, money, health, relationship, love etc. to go around and if you have an abundance of it, it means someone else goes without. Or if someone else has what you believe to be more than their share, then you go without. Where did that come from? Wherever it came from, it needs to go the way of all old patterns that no longer serve.

The truth is there is an infinite amount of source and it is only your attachment to something you manifested because you believe it is the best you can do and you fear losing it and ending up with nothing that keeps perpetrating that belief. If you believe it, it will be so. The challenge here is to stretch outside of that box and begin to experience the infinite possibilities of infinite source.

We all need support but many of us look for and expect support from the wrong people and the wrong places. Anyone who has a limited view of manifesting and a strong mind set about who you are, what you are capable of, what you should have or not have, is not a good prospect for support. Support yourself first. Build a strong inner relationship within yourself first. Work on your own beliefs and intentions. Then see who or what shows up to support that. You may be surprised. They probably won’t be the ones who are closest to you.

These Cookies For Kids Gift Baskets are going out this week!

Looking to make a delicious, failsafe cake for Valentine’s Day or anyday?

This is THE easiest, most delicious gluten-free, peanut-free, allergy-sensitive cake recipe you will find! It’s fun for kids to make because it’s so easy for them to help you.  No mixing, no mess, no problems with the cake mix because it’s already mixed for you and ready to go!

INGREDIENTS

Gilbert’s Gourmet Goodies Cookie Dough

• Sensational Sugar Cookie Dough for a vanilla cake or a chocolate cake*
• Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough for a chocolate chip cookie cake
• Brownie Cookie Dough for a chocolate brownie cake
• One 16 ounce tub makes one cake layer. Use two tubs for a double layer cake – you can mix and match cake layers if you’d like by baking one layer vanilla cake, one layer chocolate cake or chocolate chip.

METHOD

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray a cake pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
• Take the thawed cookie dough out of the tub (thawed in the refrigerator or on the counter) and put it in the cake pan (pictured here is the Sensational Sugar Cookie Dough).

• Roll out and/or press the cookie dough evenly around the pan.

• Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 20-25 minutes

• Cool and enjoy as is, or frost with your  favorite frosting (see recipe below)

TIPS/IDEAS

• To make a chocolate cake*, add cocoa, melted chocolate or real chocolate syrup to the sugar cookie dough, or use the brownie cookie dough.
• You can add chocolate, caramel or vanilla chips or candies into the cookie dough to make a fun and different cake.
• Make two cakes for a two-layer cake, or mix and match flavors to make a fun and different double layer cake!

BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

• 1/3 cup butter or margarine
• 1 1/2-3 cups of confectioner’s sugar or superfine sugar (according to your taste and texture). Note: confectioner’s sugar will make a smooth frosting. superfine sugar will make a more granular frosting.
• 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla
• Milk, rice drink or alternative milk drink – 2+ tablespoons (according to your taste and texture)

Blend the butter/margarine and sugar together, add vanilla and mix.  Pour in 2 tablespoons of rice drink, milk or alternative milk drink and mix well.  Add in 1 additional tablespoon of the rice/milk drink at a time and mix until the frosting is smooth and soft and can be spread.  You can add in cocoa  for a chocolate frosting (will require more milk drink) or melted chocolate/real chocolate syrup to make a chocolate frosting. If you’d like, you can add in your favorite chocolate or other flavor chips, all natural sprinkles or candies to the frosting.

First made my favorite “Stone Soup” vegetable soup.  Today’s soup includes onions, leeks, parsnip, carrots, celery and butternut squash.  I like to use chicken broth, although vegetable broth is good too.  When I don’t make my own broth I use Progresso reduced sodium chicken stock because it is the only brand that does not use wheat and preservatives.  There are only a handful of ingredients in this stock.

Then I made myself my favorite pizza using the Sami bakery lavash for a very thin crust personal pie.  I heat up the lavash at 400 degrees for a few minutes.  Meanwhile I heat up soft goat cheese and a little tomato paste and spread it onto the partially cooked lavash.  I add chopped red onion, steamed broccoli and oregano.  It goes back in the oven for 3-5 minutes and it’s done.  Really yummy!

Coming up next will be a cookie cake.  Super easy to make and everyone loves it!
