Cosmic evolution is dancing through you right this minute… it’s a pretty big deal. In case you’ve never thought of it, you are the physical expression of the universe, just like a single grain of sand creates a beach. Being the physical expression of the cosmic universe is an honor that only the heartiest souls can handle. And by just being who you are, you have a unique ability to make manifest something that, without you, would not exist much less contribute to the greater whole through the world around you. But no pressure… :+)

Now that we’ve gotten that out into the open, let’s take a look at what that really means… to be a physical manifestor on behalf of the universe.

You came here to be a unique individual amongst billions. No one else has your combination of body chemistry, childhood experiences, beliefs, desires and life “lens” through which you see and interpret the world, amongst about 8 gazillion other unique qualities, skills and characteristics. Bottom line: there is no one else exactly like you who can do exactly what you came here to do in the way that you know to do it. Even if you don’t know what that means. Yet.

At the same time, you’ve been given everything you need to do “it”. When you realize that you are here to do something important, when you feel the calling of your spirit, the stir of your soul compelling you to take action, to show up, to be more… well, there’s no denying it. You are being called to give back to the universe in the way that you, and only you, can do.

And THAT is why you are here… to put into action your unique ability to make a greater contribution to the universe by using source energy in the world around you. Giving back to source energy makes a full cycle… you’re here with unique and potent talent as bestowed from source energy, and using it to make a difference in the physical plane gives experiential form and function to universal energy. So giving back to the universe, in the form of using and sharing your unique piece of universal energy, evolves both you, in the experience, and the cosmos, in the contribution.

In other words, as you share your unique energy in contribution and service to the world around you, you are manifesting the rewards of source energy in application and motion. You are yielding physical results that matter in a big way. You are manifesting for the universe.

So, here’s the big question: what are you here to manifest? What are you here to do? What are you here to give back? NOW we’re talkin’…

If you are feeling of being “in the flow”, where everything seems to be working for you, you’re happy, people around you feel good, and you feel like you are creating something that makes a positive difference, chances are you are already giving back in vibrational resonance with your unique purpose. Congratulations – you inspire the rest of us!

However, if you feel something is missing or not fitting together well, if you’re not happy or have a vague sense of anxiety (I call it the “Lamborghini stuck behind a lawn mower” feeling), if you feel like you don’t matter much, or wish that life would just slow down, well… those are some big clues that you aren’t manifesting in alignment with your natural reason for being. It’s not always big clues… maybe you feel like you’re stuck in a routine rut, or don’t feel like getting out of bed more days than not. Basically, if you’re not feeling vital, charged up and stimulated to go out and do more of what you know makes the world a better place on a regular basis, it’s time to consider where you could be giving back more by expressing the focused power of your unique being. Your soul is hurting by being too scrunched up in whatever little box it’s had to live in for too long – it isn’t doing what it’s here to do, and neither are you.

What to do now? Well, here’s the good news. If you’re still reading this, it’s time to evolve your experience so you can give more…and as you give more, you are able to receive more. The more engaged you are in making a positive difference, the more you are naturally attracting amazing opportunities to enjoy and make an even bigger difference. (It’s another full cycle…)

At any rate, here is what you need to know to grow yourself to give more starting today…

STOP BEING WHO YOU ARE NOT!

You are here as a whole and perfect physical expression of the power of the universe. When you are in the flow of your true being, things just… well, flow. It takes more energy to resist your true calling. In fact, it’s effortless to be who you are! You might do more work but it will feel easier and more joyful when giving from your natural state. It’s flat-out less work when you give naturally… when you share your unique talent with the world around you with the awareness that you’re doing it from your essence. It will fill you up and feel wonderful when you’re no longer pushing to restrain your spirit to fit into someone else’s mold, judgment or even a job.

Remember that, without you, the things that you can manifest would not exist. Give back to the universe by manifesting through your true, unique, essential, beautiful and most precious self.

Today is the Eighth day of the Eighth month of the Eighth year of this millennium. 080808 is a day that won’t come back for a hundred years…it’s a pretty big deal!

The Chinese like things that are ‘lucky’ or ‘auspicious’ because those things are where good fortune and prosperity live – they can help us grow our abundance. This is especially exemplified by the number 8; in Chinese, the number sounds phonetically like ‘fa’, which means ‘prosper’. Over time, the number has become linked with prosperity, wealth, abundance and good fortune. In fact, many Chinese people will pay extra fees to have a telephone number or car license plate with the number 8 in them because they are believed to be lucky.

Here in the West, the field of numerology also attributes positive qualities to the number 8 – it means power, material success, harvest, big business and leadership. Also, when you rotate the number 90 degrees, so it’s laying sideways, it becomes the symbol for infinity.

And symbols are the direct access to the energy contained within them. That means that you can use the number 8 to call in power, success and abundance for your life and business. Even more, if you choose to do that TODAY, the power is even more significant as you have cosmic timing on your side!

Three Ways to Call in the Power of 080808:

1. Give voice to what you want to see more of in your life – and this isn’t just about the money! Money is the key but it isn’t the result, which is what you really want, right? What will the money get for you in your life? What will you enjoy when you have the money to obtain it? THAT needs to be the focus of your intentions… sit down, close your eyes, and breathe into your belly just under your belly button (that’s your second chakra, which is the energetic center of money and finances in your body). In your mind’s eye, see yourself enjoying the fruits of your abundance… and experience how that feels in your body to truly manifest it. Your mind will experience that as a “happening now” so it will close the gap between where you are and what you are imagining in a real-world way. Tip: don’t watch yourself living in abundance – FEEL yourself living it from the inside out!

2. Call infinite power into your life through your body by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. You can put your hands on your hips or have them hang to the side. Now move your hips in a circular motion – put your right hip in a right diagonal motion and swing it back so your left hip is now forward in a diagonal direction and swing that back. From an aerial view, it will appear that you are making a figure 8 with your hips. This both clears away energy that you don’t need and that could be holding you back as it calls in the power of the infinite as a positive energy source for you. And when you have the power of the infinite helping you to create, there are no limits on the good stuff!

3. Use the number 8 symbolically in your environment. You can get 8 candles, or a picture of 8 things or even draw the number 8 and hang it where you can see it comfortably from your desk. By placing the number 8 in your space, you are referencing and invoking the number of abundance. It is especially powerful today… essentially, you are jump-starting your ability to harvest success, prosperity and opportunities to create abundance.

One last tip: if you are out of alignment with your money in any way (you’ve been meaning to pay a bill, you need to invoice a client, you need to create a budget or handle your bookkeeping), this is the most auspicious day to get that handled. What could be better than getting yourself harmonically aligned with your money on the cosmically most auspicious day for abundance?

S… this is it! This is the big day, 080808, to believe in positive thinking, feel positive energy and take proactive steps toward attracting and improving your personal and business fortune by celebrating prosperity. One of my projects for today is to put together the notes for my upcoming teleclass on The Energy of Money – seems appropriate, doesn;t it? So keep an eye out for news on that in the next couple of weeks…

Meanwhile, let’s celebrate the beginning of your newest chapter of hearty abundance in your life and soul-driven business!
