The Art of Allowing

By Ambila Nath.

A few months ago, someone told me, 'Ambila, you are trying to make things happen -when you need to Just Allow'.

I understood precisely what was being said, but I've studied energies for over a decade. You may be reading this and wondering what on earth does 'Just Allowing' mean?

Well, let me start by telling you what it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean that you sit and do nothing and everything will fall into your lap (although that would be great!).

Just Allowing means that you let go of 'the Energy' that is trying to control the outcome of something. Note the importance of the words' ENERGY', which is the critical thing you are letting go of.

I can feel you saying this just feels so complicated and confusing. So let's take baby steps. I didn't just get to be a spiritual business coach and energy master because I read one article!

A Recap and Breakdown

Level I The art of allowing - is about letting go of the energy of trying to control an outcome.

Level II The Energy that we are letting go of is - fear, struggle, doubt, expectation and attachment to something, someone or a situation.

Our usual vibrating Energy is one of trying to make things happen. We want to ensure, guarantee and sometimes force that we get the outcome we want.

In your business, that Energy will be you pushing hard to sell your products and services because you need to make money, and to make money - you need clients. So you are working on an energy of struggle to attract/get your clients.

I'm not sure when or how we had it built into our DNA that we need to control everything that happens in our lives because if we don't, bad things will happen. And to some, it also means that if I don't take any action to make it happen, then it's not going to. Wow, I can really feel that struggle as I read this paragraph. How about you?

So what can you do to let go of that struggle and control?

Let's go through the 4 Step process of the 'Art of Allowing' and how you can use it to help you.

Step 1

Be super clear about what you want (your thought).

Step 2

The universe will pick up your thought, and it will look at where you currently are in your life, the level of your personal growth, and it will decide how and when, what you want, will be given to you.

This step is also the waiting game, and we all hate that one! But sorry, no skipping because we have no say in it.

Step 3

While you are stuck in Step 2, you need to show up and fully engage with your life every day and deal with any situation as they arise - positive or negative.

Step 4

Keep your focus on the positive things around you and not the things that have not yet happened. By shifting that Energy and focus, you will see that the universe is beginning to give you the things you NEED and are ready for.

There won't be any feelings of stress, frustration, anger or struggle involved.

Note -  I said, the universe will give you the things you need, not necessarily what you first wanted (remember Step 1). This is because the universe gives you what you are ready to handle.

Imagine you asked for 600 clients all at once, but your business systems and personal growth level were more comfortable with 100. So the universe will send you maybe 120, pushing you just enough out of your comfort zone without it ruining your business or your reputation.

But if you are insistent you are ready for the 600; the universe isn't fussed; it will give you what you have asked for - just don't blame it when things go wrong.

So while you are in the process of allowing your internal sat nav (intuition) will let you know when it is time for you to take action and what that action needs to be. If you are genuinely switched on and connected to your intuition, then you won't be second-guessing yourself or the move you need to take.

Remember fear, struggle, doubt, expectations and attachment to something, someone or a situation all block you and stop things coming into your life.

When you are in this loop of engagement, enjoyment and creativity and your Energy and focus are positive, you will eventually learn to own this process, and it will become a way of life for you.

The things you want will show up in your life as your vibrations match.

There are so many myths that you need a great "to-do" list or strategy for making things happen. While it's helpful for you to have these and keep you focused, please don't get too rigid about it and remain open to the possibility of what the universe wants to give you.

Final Words

The art of allowing things in is to be in a state of living and not worrying about tomorrow or the next day. Do the work you need to, take the actions you need to but lose the Energy that is holding you back and stopping the great abundance from coming into your life.

So as we are now in January, the month where we practice the art of doing and forcing things to happen. Choose to do things differently.

Choose to practice the 'Art of Allowing' and see where the month takes you.

And if you are reading this, then why not send me a message and let me know how it works out for you.
