The past few months I've been asking for help with manifestation. I have a vision of what I want my life to look like but the question is how do I get there? I am also aware of blocks that need to go and I'd been asking for help with releasing those.
A few examples:
- Self-doubt. Can I really do this?
- Fears about cash flow now that I'm starting my business.
- I'm holding a grudge that I need to let go of.
Today I was walking home from work and The Lords Prayer popped into my mind. I was surprised because I haven't been a practicing Catholic for 10 years! Still I decided to go with it, after all, Jesus was a healer and a miracle worker. I sometimes ask for help in my healings and I'm drawn to building that connection again. Haven't felt it since I was seven.
The prayer ran through my mind a couple times before I started paying attention. And then it just clicked. The combination of phrases is perfectly designed to set our intent, release blocks and draw on manifesting currents in the universe.
Salutation: Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
This phrase takes our Intent to the highest source of Energy, which is necessary if we want to heal or transform a part of our life. It is also useful if you want to call on Divine Intervention. Literally.
Manifestation Part 1: Thy Kingdom Come
I learned the Our Father in Spanish and English and this particular phrase works much better for me in Spanish. The literal translation is "Your Kingdom Comes to Us" which I understand as God's Kingdom is moved from Heaven to Earth so that we can experience it down here. I am 100% conscious of the fact that Jesus preached the opposite, but I do think this is really interesting if we link it back to the manifesting current that we learned about at the School of Intuition & Healing. The theory is that we each have two energetic currents connecting us to heaven and earth.
Visualize two beams of light running through your body, one goes from the earth upwards, the other goes from heaven downwards.
- Manifesting Current: This one runs down from the Heavens through your body and into the ground. If you have a strong manifesting current it means you will be able to use what we traditionally call magic and create real life situation with your will power and intent. That energetic current is out there but its up to us to harness it.
- Spiritual Current: This current pulls us upwards, connecting us with the spiritual world. I would imagine most mystics, spiritual junkies and psychics have strong spiritual currents. It is really easy for us to connect to those other dimensions. The challenge for Spiritually oriented people is grounding themselves and living in the now. I have a strong Spiritual Current, but my Manifesting Current could be a lot stronger.
When I hear the words "Your Kingdom Come" the image that pops into my mind is this manifesting current bringing all of that miracle potential down to earth so that we can transform things. Think of the possibilities! This is where real magic happens.
Manifesting 2: Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven
In energy healing we have this concept of Highest Good which means that there is a plan for each of us. The plan includes ups and down, success, failure, health, illness. One of my Facebook likers said something brilliant today about our "challenges" being our growth opportunities in this life. The way we react to our life lessons is part of our spiritual growth. When we accept the fact that there is a divine plan things start to fall into place. And we can see things for what they are - stepping stones.
This line is about living in alignment with our highest good and trusting. It is tough to manifest without trusting the process. Being in resistance keeps good things from coming our way. It also keeps us from learning our lessons and moving on.
Abundance: Give us this day our daily bread
This is about being taken care of from a survival point of view. Cash flow issues, be gone! There is also the question of spiritual nourishment in that bread.
Health: Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us
I'm not sure why I've called this one health. Maybe its because holding grudges throws the body out of balance. One of the things I've started to notice in my healing sessions is how people hold the energy of anger, resentment and betrayal in their organs. I have felt this in the veins, the heart, the pancreas, the stomach, the intestines and the liver. A man came into the healing clinic with high blood pressure and I could feel his blood boiling with pent up anger. He was on medication for blood pressure and we referred him to a nearby medical clinic. Some people need to learn to relax and let things slide like water off a duck's back. Seriously.
Forgiving releases that toxic energy from our body. You do yourself a favour when you forgive yourself and others. The hard part is actually forgiving them and I like the fact that its included.
Maintain Your Vibration: Lead us not into temptation
Again I prefer the Spanish version which reads free us from temptation. Freedom is something we can all relate to and in this case it means freedom from the pull of the ego, whatever form it takes.
I am going to us an example with no religious connotation: drinking water instead of drinking soft drinks keeps my energy clear. My intuition and my ability to channel healing energy is stronger. I love chocolate and coffee and I used to crave soft drinks. Now I feel sick when I see a bottle of the brown stuff. Freedom!

The ego is a about a lot more than cola or food choices. It includes things like procrastination, self-doubt, self-defeating tendencies and patterns. Every single time you wimp out of facing a fear, that is the voice of the ego telling you to run. Temptation is about taking the easy way out and ending up in the wrong place. Or going overboard with something that wouldn't be harmful in moderation.
Protection: Deliver us from evil
I prefer the Spanish version which says free us from all things bad. The word evil is a cliché. It has been overused; I think its more important to ground yourself in love and focus on feeling protected. To me this line is about feeling safe, protected and impervious to things like jealousy, spite, ill will, and any spiritual or energetic baddies.
Sign Off: Amen!
This phrase translates to So Be It. Funny enough most of the spells I've seen end with the phrase So Mote It Be which is very similar! My theory is that the ending seals the Intent.
I would love to hear your thoughts! This one took me by surprise.
Love & Light,
