The Universe Has Your Back

1. Embrace Your Hidden Power: Reconnect with Universal Love

"The primary reason for our unhappiness is startlingly simple: we are resistant to being happy."

Resistance blocks love. Our resistance to love keeps us stuck in patterns that prevent us from thriving. Even when we commit to happiness, we often find it hard to give up the fear we've grown to depend on. This resistance is the root cause of all our problems and feelings of disconnect.

Acknowledge and release resistance. The most profound way to practice releasing resistance is to see clearly how we don't want to let it go. When we accept that we are addicted to fear, we can forgive ourselves for past mistakes and present struggles. Honoring this shadow side is the key to healing our resistance.

Choose love consistently. The practice of being on a spiritual path isn't about being perfect, but about surrendering to love as often as possible. By making love a habit and nurturing our connection to the Universe daily, we can experience miraculous changes in our lives.

2. You Create Your Reality: Choose Love Over Fear

"Your projection is your perception. Become aware of the fear-based stories you've been projecting on your internal movie screen."

Thoughts shape reality. What we focus on, we create – be it good or bad. The stories we project on our internal movie screens become the experiences we perceive as our realities. We are constantly choosing the world we perceive by focusing on certain images and filtering out others.

Recognize fear-based projections. Take a moment to contemplate:

• What fear-based stories from the past or projections about the future are you playing on your internal movie screen?
• How are these stories blocking you from feeling supported and happy?

Choose love-based projections. Shift your focus to empowering stories:

• What are the love-based, empowering stories that you replay in your head?
• How do these stories make you feel supported and happy?

3. The Universe Always Guides You: Trust the Journey

"The world is your classroom, and people are your assignments."

Universal assignments for growth. Every experience you perceive in life gives rise to one of two choices: to learn through love or to learn through fear. Each instance is a holy encounter providing a divine spiritual assignment in which you can choose to heal or to stay stuck in the bondage of your past.

Show up for your assignments. If you choose to show up for these Universal assignments with a willingness to heal, many miracles will be presented to you. But if you're unwilling to show up, you will stay stuck in stories and experiences that do not serve you.

Trust the guidance. Even when situations seem challenging, trust that the Universe never gives you what you cannot handle. Embrace each assignment as an opportunity for optimal growth, healing, and freedom.

4. Your Energy Attracts Your Experiences: Cultivate Positive Vibes

"If your presence doesn't work, neither will your word."

Energy is your power source. Your energy is your greatest source of power. When you vibrate a high-vibe, loving energy, you will receive high-vibe, loving energy reflected back to you. Conversely, when you put out low-level energy, you'll receive low-level energy and experiences in return.

Align with your power presence. Being in alignment with your presence means allowing the energy of the Universe to move through you naturally. It means setting aside all limiting beliefs and smallness and realigning with thoughts, words, and feelings of love.

Calibrate your energy. Practice these steps to enhance your energetic presence:

1. Get out of the way: Use the prayer "I step back and let the Universe lead the way."
2. Meditate daily to fine-tune your energy and connection to the Universe.
3. Set empowering intentions: Your intentions create your reality.
4. Understand the power of joy: Joy is the catalyst for all that is good in the world.

5. Align with Joy to Manifest Miracles

"The Universe works fast when you're having fun!"

Joy accelerates manifestation. When you get psyched about something and lead from a place of joy, the Universe immediately starts to show you the way. You have the power to align with whatever it is you want to see, and this alignment will always be positive and supportive to your life as long as you're in tune with your energetic power.

Shift to positive perceptions. Recognize how your words and beliefs might be blocking the support of the Universe. When you notice yourself stuck in a low-vibe story, witness it and say, "I am determined to see this with love. I surrender this story and let the Universe do her thing."

Follow your feelings. Get clear about how you want to feel and be unapologetic about it. Let your feelings navigate your path and trust that the Universe will respond to your positive emotions.

6. Obstacles Are Detours in the Right Direction

"Obstacles are detours in the right direction."

Reframe challenges as opportunities. Even situations that appear to be obstacles are actually opportunities—detours in the right direction. Always trust the direction of the Universe and know you're being guided toward love.

Surrender to guidance. When you ask for guidance, the Universe may throw you a curveball. Sometimes divine lessons come in odd forms. Your only job is to trust that whatever you've been guided toward is exactly the direction you need.

Choose a miracle mindset. Practicing the Holy Instant and entering into a miracle mindset is the clearest path toward grace. When you choose to see your obstacles as detours in the right direction, you can begin to find deeper meaning and personal growth amid the discomfort.

7. Certainty Clears the Path for What You Desire

"Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait and wait without anxiety."

Cultivate unshakeable faith. Certainty of outcome is the secret ingredient to manifesting your desires. When you are certain, you can relax into a sense of knowing and faith. This certainty allows you to be patient and trust in the Universe's plan.

Think it, feel it, believe it. Practice visualizing and emotionally connecting to your desires:

1. Hold a clear vision of what you want to manifest.
2. Allow yourself to feel the emotions associated with your desire.
3. Trust that the Universe will respond to your positive emotions.

Co-create with the Universe. Tap into the feelings of your desire and walk through life conjuring those emotions. When you consciously choose how you want to feel, regardless of external circumstances, you strengthen your faith and certainty in the Universe's support.

8. The Universe Speaks in Mysterious Ways: Listen Closely

"Miracles are natural. When they do not occur, something has gone wrong."

Expect miracles. When we get in sync with the Universe, we begin to experience many miraculous and mysterious synchronicities. These synchronicities may seem wild and unexplainable at first, but the more faithful you become, the more commonly they occur.

Look for love and expect miracles. Begin your day with this prayer: "I focus my attention on the love that is around me, and I expect miracles." When you deliberately focus your attention on love and joy, you open the floodgates to receive miracles.

Practice non-interference. You don't need to "work miracles" or make anything happen. Simply align with your true love nature and allow your eyes to see what you desire. Trust that as long as you remain surrendered and committed to the highest good, everything you need will be shown to you.

9. Release Judgment to Experience Oneness

"You have no idea of the great release and peace you will feel when you totally give up judgment."

Judgment blocks connection. Judgment quietly but swiftly drains happiness, reinforces a sense of separation from others, and blocks connection to the Universe. It is a pattern that must be interrupted on a moment-to-moment basis.

Practice the four-step process to release judgment:

1. Witness your judgment without judgment.
2. Forgive the thought with this prayer: "I recognize that I have chosen fear, and I choose again. I choose love."
3. Let go of the shadow of the past by seeing someone for the first time with the eyes of love.
4. Practice the Kundalini meditation to recognize that the other person is you.

Embrace oneness. When we release judgment, we dissolve all boundaries with love. We return to the truth that we're all in it together, sharing the same capacity to choose love over fear.

10. You Are One with the Universe: Embrace Your True Nature

"You are one with the Universe."

Remember your true nature. Your connection to love is often just a whisper amid the noisy chaos in your mind. Fear and separation are patterns that must be interrupted on a moment-to-moment basis. When you fully commit to shift these patterns through prayer and meditation, you begin to rely on love more than fear.

Practice connecting to the Universe:

1. Recite the Prayer for Truth to align your thoughts with love.
2. Practice the Kundalini meditation to foster a deep emotional and physical connection to the Universe.
3. Use the mantra "Sat Nam" (Truth is my name) to stay committed to your true nature.
4. Walk a path of humility to stay centered in your universal truth.

Live from love. When you're in alignment with the love of the Universe, peace cannot be disrupted. No person, situation, or circumstance can take away your peace of mind. Strive to bring peace with you wherever you go.

11. Surrender to the Universe's Plan

"Your plans are in the way of God's plan."

Release control. When we fixate too much on achieving our goals and sticking to our plans, we get in our own way. We become convinced that we know what's best, relentlessly pursuing the path of our ego at the expense of cutting off communication with the Universe.

Embrace hope and surrender. Hope is the energy that carries us when we lose sight of our spiritual faith. It reminds us of the power of love and clears the path toward the highest good for all. The pathway back to hope is through surrender, which must be a daily practice.

Practice surrender:

1. Take your hands off the steering wheel: Begin each day with a prayer of surrender.
2. Turn over time: Embrace the present moment and choose love over fear.
3. Trust in the Universe's plan: Remember that there is a plan far greater than yours.
