Do you ever feel like you are stuck? Like you are walking in mud? You take ten steps forward and yet you are standing in the same place. Well the good news is, you are not stuck. When you feel this way it can only mean one thing. You know what you want but you are NOT allowing the natural flow of it to come into your life experience. You hold your own resistance to it for whatever reason. This is what I refer to as the Rocking Horse Syndrome. Your desire moves you forward ~ your resistance moves you backward. Forward and back, forward and back, yet you never move an inch.

As you know, we are all made up of energy. Everything around us is made up of energy. Energy does NOT stop moving so how could you possibly be stuck? Just knowing this should release some of the resistance you are holding onto. When you have a desire that excites you, you send out positive vibrations into the Universe. If you stay true to your desire and continue to think positive thoughts about it, the Universe has absolutely no choice but to deliver it to you. It is when you begin to doubt your desire or your worthiness of the having of it, you build resistance. Resistance is a negative vibration and the more you send out the more you will get back. Basically what you are doing is sending out a positive vibe and then in turn sending out a negative one. This is what causes you to feel stuck. You cannot possibly move forward if you are giving and taking. You must give, sit back, RELAX, and wait for it to be delivered. Have no conce
as to how, when or where, just know it will come because it has no choice.

If you are ready to get off that rocking horse, then just send out those desires and then LET THEM BE. The Universe has them now and unless you change your vibration about them, they are yours. Feel free to think about them as much as you want. Dream about them as much as you want. Most importantly, feel the essence of that which you want even before it comes to you. Being in the essence of it will in fact bring it to you faster because you will already be a vibrational match to it!
