How to Develop the Will to Feel? (Course on will 2)
Before I go on with our journey through the will...
Last week my friend and editor Ken wrote to me this
follow up story:
Hi Colette,
I wanted to tell you that I tried what you wrote about in your last
newsletter -
about asking God for a sign. I wasn't going to try it at first
actually because I thought, "I'm not nearly in alignment as Colette".
But decided to try anyway. As you suggested, I too asked for a
blue or red bird as a sign.
Later that day, my family and I were in Target and I was in the
back by the movie section letting my 6 year old son pick out a movie.
One of the big LCD TVs caught my eye. Some sort of animated
video was playing and I first saw a large group of red roses that soon
transformed into A Red Bird! It then flew toward the screen and turned
into a red book.
I was in awe. I just stood there for a moment in disbelief
actually. I then came to my senses and told myself that yes this really
was the sign I had asked for and to allow myself to believe.
And that evening, I had finished giving my 4 year old daughter a bath
and she asked to play this little game we came up with called either
"little birdie" or "tip, tap, crack".
She curls up onto the bathroom rug
and I place the bath towel over her, completely covering her. I then
touch her along the head and back and say "tip, tap, crack" because
she is inside her egg shell. She will eventually "crack out of her shell"
and then we always ask her what kind of an animal she is
(its not always a bird - sometimes its a snake).
Anyway, most of the time she says she's a robin or a duck
or even that snake but this time she said she was a blue bird.
(She's never said blue bird before).
I just smiled to myself and got a warm, loving feeling inside.
Thanks for that great newsletter! Have you heard of anyone else that
had a similar experience?
Take care.
Ken
If, like Ken, you asked for a sign and got one, let me know. I'll
share it with the group-- if you give me the permission to do that.
A few readers already shared their stories with me.
I think one of the best ways to observe the law of attraction is to
begin with small things that do not affect your life and that you can
easily pin point. So this is a perfect exercise.
This morning as I was thinking of sharing Ken's story with you, I
saw about ten feet from me a blue bird by a red headed woodpecker;
side by side! I actually had never seen such a beautiful red headed bird
before!
So, go for it, just ask from your heart and look for the sign, you
will have one or even two :)..It is law!

So, back to my discoveries in terms of the different types of will
and how to grow your will till you become the creator of your reality!
I learned much more on the emotional will this week...I attracted a
book and a teacher (Jacquelyn Small) to expand my understanding on it.
Remember the importance of the will: it directs your attention and
creates your life--by focusing your attention.
It may seem to be a pretty esoteric issue, but it is actually very
down to earth and practical. If you are stuck in emotional will, in
the realm of additions and passions that are burning your life...
your know what I mean.
So how do you get to grow through this realm of will to the next one?
I got an answer this week...it came to me:
Develop the will to feel!
Accepting to feel what you feel. This is big.
It is the way out of everything: feeling it!
--what is, is what is, Abraham-Hicks says---
And there is a misunderstanding right there:
It is not about wallowing in your feelings...But it is about getting
the courage to stop resisting and start feeling, sensing.
Being in the present with it.
Being able to feel any feeling and allow yourself to feel them.
How do you do that, it is so painful?
It is actually not painful really... it is in fact the resistance
to feeling that is creating the painful sensation.
You learn to feel your feelings just by observing the physical
sensations the feeling produces: you become an observer,
taking the view point of source!
First let go of the label. Thinking of this sensation as sadness,
for example, will make it more painful.
You send a little satelite inside your body and observe where is this
sensation, how big is it really? where do I feel it? In my belly?
In my throat?...
Do it. You will be surprised.
You will then realize: This is just a physical sensation!
I can accept to feel it. And very often, it will then begin to dissipate.
It is your resistance to feeling that keeps the feeling going and makes
it so painful. This is exactly why people look for something outside of
them to release their pain.
You will have to have the courage to feel!
But this is the journey to awakening. Being present, staying with what is,
and using your will to direct your mind and your attention will bring your
true power back.
You can train yourself to accept what is and observe how it flows away
when you put your neutral, non-judgmental attention on it and feel it
without resistance.
You can also use EFT or any technique you know to dissolve the feeling,
once you get a sense of it.
Next week we'll explore the next level of will which is the mental/moral
will.
The motivating force behind this will is being right or being wrong!
In between, send me your stories and tell me if I can publish them.
Thanks,
This week observe your feelings as physical sensations...you'll be on
your way to mastering your emotional will...and your life.
