Do you recall the last time you had a good laugh? A funny joke, a good time out with friends, a hilarious ad, or perhaps watching a comedy?
… or maybe, you watched a really funny video of someone on the metro spreading his laughter:
… or even, you saw a monk demonstrating laughter yoga that cracked you up:
If you just watched those videos – or recall that time you were really laughing – I’m sure it was a pretty good vibe. You momentarily dropped trying to accomplish, your doubts, your current worries (which may be flooding back in at the mention of them!) and just relaxed in the moment. I’m sure you know how helpful it is to just feel good.
I save cute videos from youtube (and my favorite movies) and often in the morning pick out a few of them (e.g. “Who’s on first” in kinetic typography is a riot!) and just enjoy!
The next time you see something cute, or just because you feel like it, take a moment and laugh a little. If you’re feeling really good, do it out loud in a public place – just hold on for a minute or two, and I’m sure you’ll have people joining you!
What do you feel?

Abraham used to call his seminars “The Science of Deliberate Creation” but stopped because people seemed to be taking it too seriously and getting all caught up on it.
Instead, Abraham now talks about the “Art of Allowing” – allowing what’s good to come to you, rather than needing to deliberately create it. I have a feeling that they changed “science” to “art” also to make it seem more intuitive, rather than a specific, methodical process. Science needs to be painstakingly methodical, art flows naturally.
In most places that I see however, I hear talk about the Science of Deliberate Creation. Scripting, Pray Rain Journals, visualizations, etc. I’ve done these, but the artificialness of the techniques usually wanes on me. To stop and pursue the new feeling often feels like a chore, too. I seem to be in the minority – many love it their deliberate creation time – but I seem to quickly lose the inspiration of the new vision, and just want to move on, usually long before it’s manifested.
Regardless, Abraham seemed to mean this: stop focusing so much on the creation, and just allow. He says “nothing is more important than that you feel good” because feeling good itself – being in alignment – is its own manifestation technique.
Motivations aside, I’m really not sure WHAT I want to create. Having analyzed my motivations at a deeper source, and rediscovering my religious roots, I’m very much up in the air at the present moment. I’m still exploring and letting it settle.
There are many other complementary techniques that seem to completely or mostly focus on the Art of Allowing – e.g. Sedona, Release Technique, Ho’oponopono/Zero Limits (“Ice Blue!”), The Work, Power of Now/Tolle, Jamie Smart’s The Art Of Being, Effort Free Life System by Chris Payne.
So I’m curious – is anyone else focus mostly on Being and allowing? Do you have recommendations for moderately active communities (not so large you lose the personal connection), or even chat rooms to hang out in?

When I saw this today, it really resonated with me. Doing nothing is not the way I usually operate. The rules of alignment tell us action, for the sake of action, is not a very good way to manifest anything. Yet, I still ask myself “What should I do now?” Even when I decide I’m not working towards any goals now, I consider doing: meditating, putting myself in the feeling place of a goal, feeling my feelings, listening to music, calling someone… but these aren’t “doing nothing”. In fact, I’m failing in my attempt at doing nothing right now by deciding to share this!
It’s uncomfortable to NOT be doing something. However, when you act from that uncomfortableness, it won’t really help you towards what you want to achieve. When you relax (really relax, not stop and say: OK, I should relax so I can act), you get inspired to act. THOSE actions pack a whallop and are fun and effortless!
Instead of ask what you should do, can you just STOP? (pause.)
Oh, not just the actions though. Also what you are thinking about. Can you be still, and just do nothing and think nothing? (pause. chirp, chirp.)
So try this – make an effort to do nothing. Sound funny? Yeah, but give it a try. Let me know how it goes!
For me, this is something that takes practice. So I’ll post this and get back to practicing!
