"And the love that's everlasting. Blessed be. The light has come."  
-Shawna Carol, Goddess Chant
 
It is the season of Thanksgiving. A month when many of us spend more time in our kitchens. And if we are not actually the one’s doing the cooking, still our minds and our stomachs anticipate the feast to come.
 
Speaking of kitchens, I’d like to tell you a story of another kind of kitchen, one which can fill you up more surely than a Thanksgiving feast.  
 
Many years ago, I worked for a spiritual magazine which also coordinated spiritual events. We organized an event for Lee Carroll, who channels Kryon. During the guided visualization at that event I experienced what I later heard termed a ‘love wash.’ I felt a surge of expansive, loving feeling deep within my body, exploding my heart wide open. I kept breathing it in, deeper and deeper. I wanted more and more of it. I felt chills and tingles thrilling up and down my whole body. Tears poured down my cheeks. It was a stunning experience though it only lasted a few moments.
 
Since then I’ve had the experience again. Only once was it as intense as that first time and I never knew when it was going to happen again.
 
Don Miguel Ruiz, in his book Mastery of Love, teaches that we have all the love we need, right here inside of us, in our hearts. He says that it is like a “magical kitchen,” providing us with all the love we could ever need.
 
He explains that our hearts are our connection with God’s love, Universal Spiritual love. Our hearts, our love, is where we feel our soul, our piece of God. Our hearts are the connection.
 
When we breathe in deeply and focus our attention, we link ourselves with the Universal energy of love, God. The breath is the connection opening our hearts which are the portal. Then God’s love flows through us. Our focused attention, intent and faith are all that is required.
 
I decided to see if I could invoke that feeling of God’s love intentionally. In meditation I asked God, and my Spiritual Support Team to be with me as I meditated. Then I asked to feel God’s love. I focused on breathing in the visualization of feeling bathed in love, opening to the “magic kitchen” in my heart.

I kept breathing in that idea of God’s love washing over me, until slowly, a sensation grew. It was a sensation of love, joy, expansion and gentle bliss.  It grew until I felt God’s love strongly, to the point of tears. It was beautiful, and all the more so because I called upon it.

​You can do this. Focus on breathing in a visualization and a feeling of a time in your life when you felt deeply loved, or expansively blissful, or gently joyful. See where you experience that sensation of love, bliss or joy in your body and focus your attention there, breathing into that feeling. Keep breathing and visualizing and feeling, allowing yourself to expand with it. Keep trusting that God's love is there for you.

We can all do this.  God's love is available that simply. But we have to ask and have faith that it is ours to ask for, always there for us, waiting for our intent and our attention. We have to intend it, ask for it, open to it and allow ourselves to believe we are worthy to receive.
 
It’s a bit like winning your own personal lottery of love.
 
It is possible to call upon God’s love and open the door to that limitless treasure trove, your very own, “magical kitchen,” because you have the key that opens the door in your heart to God’s love.
 
The table is set. The feast prepared. You have only to sit down and allow yourself to receive.

Manifesting our desires into this level of existence sometimes seems a magical process about which we can only hope and wish. According to Huna teachings that is not the case. Huna teaches that the process of manifestation is a specific process which can be easily learned.

Since I learned of it, I’ve been using the Huna technique of breath energized manifesting to create funds for various specific objectives, a workshop I wanted to attend, several short trips and a longer trip I’m preparing for, as well as maintaining an emergency savings account. The money showed up in each case. For the workshop I received what I needed from an unexpected source, just in time, a day or two before the workshop. Other times the money arrived well beforehand, again unexpectedly, not a part of our regular budgeting. Exciting stuff!

So, let me share with you my version of the Huna method of breath energized manifesting. 

First, a quick recap. In the last few posts of Know Thyself we learned that the subconscious mind is in charge of the body and the emotions. It also responsible for gathering and storing energy to give to the conscious and the superconscious minds.

The conscious mind is in charge of the mental aspects of things, the will.

The superconscious mind is in charge of manifesting. It is Divine Will and so functions at a level that is beyond understanding, but for this discussion we will focus upon its role as manifestor.

 The process of manifesting according to Huna teachings is this:

1. The conscious mind determines specifically what it wants to manifest. Consciously taking the time to envision what is wanted and get the emotions and thus the subconscious involved.
2. Once the focus is clearly determined and visualized, the conscious mind directs the subconscious to gather surplus energy. The conscious mind can aid in that through consciously directed deep breathing. 
3. The conscious mind thanks the subconscious for giving the gathered energy to the superconscious for the purposes of manifesting this intention.
4. The conscious mind directs a prayer through the subconscious mind to the superconscious with the specific intention and visualizations. As the conscious mind conceptualizes and the subconscious ‘feels’ the intention to the superconscious, the subconscious allows the surplus energy to flow to the superconscious, supporting the physical manifestation of the intention.

It is important to note that only the subconscious can gather and give energy. The subconscious is positively engaged when positive emotion is experienced. The superconscious needs the energy gathered and given by the subconscious to build our design in this reality. As the conscious mind envisions the thought forms of the desired intention imbuing them with all the detail possible, the subconscious has an emotional response. It may be excitement, or joy, or contentment or some other positive emotion. If, as you envision your intention you experience any twinge of fear or negativity or disbelief, this must be cleared or the necessary energy will not be sent to the superconscious. The subconscious will dig in its heels, so to speak, and refuse to budge. The flow and manifestation of your intention will be blocked.

There are many excellent tools and healers available for reprogramming the subconscious mind. The tool I use most often with my clients is FasterEFT-V, which you can find out more about on our Resources page. 

All three selves must be in accord, all three pulling in the same direction for prayer to be manifested.
​
The manifestation process is not a mysterious unknown in Huna. It is consciously directed prayer, conceptualization and feeling, supported by intentionally gathered energy. It is a simple and effective process.
