There was a precise moment in the last few years where I believe I performed a true magical act that reprogrammed the course of events in my life, suddenly my body seemed to attract but abundance and positive events.
If you are reading me now, I doubt this is the first time you have heard terms like manifesting and concepts such as the Law of Attraction mentioned. These relate to some of the various fascinating theories about how, by finding a certain synergy with our inner world, we have the capacity to create and shape every element of our outer world.
Well, at the time I’m talking about, I was looking for a way to access such an ability.
It was the month of October and I felt that I was not managing to start my professional life after my studies, I sent emails to different cities and countries without receiving answers, I was willing to change everything to be able to start working in my field. Without getting any results I started to doubt everything: of myself, of having made the right choice with my studies, until I decided to experiment with myself. I decided to let it flow.
November came. I allowed myself to make some expenses traveling, although until then I kept repeating to myself that I should not squander my resources without first finding a stable income. They were unnecessary expenses, because I was simply going to visit some friends from college, one was graduating and the other had her birthday. Both would have understood perfectly if I had not shown up, but I still decided to go.
I remember the lighthearted spirit I managed to adopt those days, doing things simply because I wanted to do them. Without feeling that I had to earn them, without feeling that I didn’t deserve them, without acting out of lack. Ironically, a few days after returning to the city where I lived, I was called to work on the set of an HBO and SKY series. Before leaving, I had sent an online casting application as an extra for the series, but in the call they asked me if I could join directly into the production team to help both with the castings themselves, as well as with the organization on the set during the shooting days.
I couldn’t believe it at the time, nor do I know if indeed that and the many exciting events that followed had anything to do with my change of attitude. But it made sense, after all I had let go as had often been suggested to me. I had begun to do things for pleasure and not out of sheer necessity, for I had the material fortune to be able to do so. I remembered many talks and seminars I had seen in the past years about abundance attracting abundance. I remembered some words of Miguel Valls suggesting that, in order to attract abundance, it is important to behave accordingly: to treat ourselves well, to behave as if that abundance were already part of our life (which is fundamentally different from spending without any care).
A few days later they also confirmed a workshop for actors that I was organizing, saying that registrations were already coming in. Everything was going well from one moment to the next, and best of all, the effort I felt was much less. Everything was going well in an easy and simple manner, without feeling that I was begging to be able to work, to be able to do what I like, without feeling that I had to insist again, and again, and again.
And when everything flows, we think we are inside a divine flow, as if God exists right on our side, as a blessing and a guide at the same time, as if the cosmos itself approves of each of our actions.
You know that feeling right?
Well, for me, that moment felt magical, and there was only a week to go before I could start and enjoy these works.
