Write It Down Make It Happen: Knowing What You Want And Getting It by Henriette Anne Klauser
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow! Super book! I took many notes while I read so I could remember all of the wonderful ideas for using writing as a tool of creation. There are assignments at the end of each chapter for you to practice what you are learning. She helps you clarify your thoughts, and desires. She also helps you work through your worries and fears and realize your true "hearts desire." The chapter I have used and enjoyed the most is, "Writing to God." This is a wonderful process of faith and writing with the Spirit. I have received incredible answers and counsel (Instructions are below).
A friend used this method to sell their ranch. They wrote down that they wanted to sell it and how much they needed to sell it for. Within six months they had a neighbor come to them unsolicited and offer them the exact amount they had written down.
Here are the instructions to write a Letter to God
- Find a quiet place where you will have no distractions. Write your own letter to God (or your higher power, Jehovah, Universe, etc).
- Start your letter with “Dear God,” and write about the situations in your life that are difficult or challenging for you.
- Sort through your feelings, then move on to specific questions that you have.
- End your letter with: “Dear God, please write through my pen. Thank you very much.”
- Then write a letter back to yourself from God. “Dear (your name). Thoughts and impressions will come to you about what to write. Trust them and let the words flow through your pen to the paper.
- Trust what comes through to you enough to act on it. Do what you are guided to do, whether it is through a strong inner prompting, a creative idea, a sudden insight, or an actual external sign.
Go placidly amidst the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its shams, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
