Article:  Miracles are Natural

By Laurel Inman

What inhibits miracles from occurring on a regular basis?  How can we live a deeper more fulfilling life filled with the miraculous personally and professionally?

The Course in Miracles tells us:  “Miracles are natural.  When they do not occur something has gone wrong.” 

Miracles are natural!  Imagine your life with miracles as a part of your everyday living.  Wouldn’t this feel absolutely amazing?

The answer is simple.  The Course in Miracles shares with us the very thing blocking miracles from regularly occurring in this phenomenal world.  This is the four letter word… fear. 

Fear literally blocks miracles.  When we are in fear we are either attempting to protect ourselves or running from the proverbial monster in the dark.  Think fight or flight.  Either way, we are not connecting with our essence.  Our essence is what creates positive outcomes.  In other words being in our essence allows the miraculous to spring forth, no matter how dim the situation appears. 

Seems simple enough, yet there is another component.  Fear also lends to our identification with our egoic mind.  The judgments, the equation of material with success, the source of struggle…

Make way for miracles TIP:  Three ways to turn away from your fears (and egoic) and return to your creative essence!

1.  Use your fears as indicators!  The feeling of fear is indicative that a miracle is blocked.  When we are blocked it means we aren’t connected to the solution.  Ask your self, “What do I want to come of this?”  Next, identify, “What do I need to get there?”

2.  Remain objective!  Noticing the fear is much different than buying into it.

3.  Fear (false evidence appearing real).  Since fear is perceptual and not real, determine what is real and what is really true.  I call these Truth Statements.  (Ex:  Fear = I am afraid I won’t get enough clients to pay the mortgage.  Truth statement = I have what it takes to obtain five new clients)

These exercises help you remain grounded especially when everything seems up in the air.  The above exercises are three examples of ways to cultivate your essence and zip towards success.  Ultimately, anything you do to remain more and more in your essence is what will lend to miraculous experiences! 

Enjoy your sacred journey!
