Momentum. It’s the very thing that causes our thoughts to rampage toward feelings of love or fear, happiness or misery, positivity or negativity. Most of us, at some point or another have made the observation “when it rains it pours” or “everything happens at once.” And that is because what we are focusing on, we draw into our experience – whether it’s negative or positive. It’s the Universal Law of Attraction at work, whether we believe in it or not.
This week I was blessed to experience this for myself when one good thing after another occurred. It was a week of synchronicities, opportunities, and moments of sheer bliss. And the more it happened the more I found myself in the flow and a knowingness that I had manifested all this goodness with my ‘good-feeling-thoughts’ and by keeping my own personal energy vibration high and positive.
It’s important to add here that looking back over the week, I can see that I had no attachment to outcomes. I was more than willing to be guided by the Universe. I didn’t force, orchestrate, or hold on to anything. I enjoyed the process as equally as the manifestations themselves.
Not surprisingly, this was further reflected to me when I arrived at Day 17 of Oprah and Deepak’s 21-Day Meditation Experience. Before I reveal my card reading, which I am sure will contain messages for others at this time, I will share Deepak’s wisdom. He articulates perfectly this “Cosmic Dance” I have been experiencing.
“It may sound paradoxically but as you get better at manifesting what you want, you don’t take your desires so seriously. You realise that what cosmic intelligence knows, you may not know. So being carefree signals that you truly trust the Universe to manifest everything that’s right for you, here and now, following the flow of attraction.
Once you are manifesting in a more playful attitude, you are no longer bound by the ego’s insecurities and cravings…The more detached you are from the results, the better the results become. By the same measure, the more desperate and up tight you are about the results, the more likely that you will be disappointed.
The ultimate power to make anything come true, for yourself and others, is described in the Bhagavad Gita when it advises “Perform action without regard for the fruits of action”. This is pure play, acting through freewill and letting the Universe take care of the outcome. The ego cannot reach the state of pure playfulness because it thinks too much about winning and losing. Only when you act from the True Self is winning not an issue because what you want is also what is best for you. In its anxiety about winning, the ego overlooks the greatest prize of all, enjoying the cosmic dance, which in Sanskrit is called the Play of the Divine or Lila.
When you connect with Lila, life is lighthearted, an endless source of curiosity and wonder and the beauty of creation as it unfolds before your eyes. When you are joyful, your desires cannot help but expand, no longer obligated to the ego’s demands, worries and selfishness. Every meditation brings you a step closer to the joy of being free.”
Today’s cards, Awakening Ancient Wisdom and Manifesting Dreams, from the Gateway Oracle Cards deck by Denise Linn, demonstrates perfectly what can occur for us anywhere, anytime if we simply allow and embrace the “Cosmic Dance”. It is a reminder of how the Law of Attraction can work in your favour. Everyone has access to ancient wisdom and everyone can manifest their dreams – are you ready to groove with the “Cosmic Dance” of life?

Awakening Ancient Wisdom
“Deep inner knowing is emerging within me”
Card meaning:
The wisdom of the ages dwells within you. It is arising now. The chalice of wisdom is being offered to you. Pay attention to the coincidences, signs, and synchronicities around you. Profound enlightenment is growing within you, even if you are not aware of it.
The Universe wants you to know:
The wisdom of your ancestors, your predecessors, and all of history exists deep within you. An inner portal is opening as this sacred information pours into your consciousness. You have always possessed innate knowledge, but at this juncture, simply by being still, you are able to access it with even greater perception. You are a wise being, and your wisdom is very supportive and helpful to others.
Questions to ask yourself:
To understand a dream, sign, or synchronistic event, ask yourself:
- If this symbolised a message from the Ancients, what would it be?
- How can I access even more wisdom within myself?
- How can the wisdom of the past help my present and my future?

Manifesting Dreams
“My dreams are coming true!”
Card meaning:
Life goes in cycles. There is a time for planting seeds and a time for harvesting bounty. Right now is your time for harvesting. Your innermost dreams and desires are manifesting. Don’t stop the flow by doubting the process. All is unfolding according to your highest good.
The Universe wants you to know:
The seeds of desires you planted so long ago (perhaps even before this life) are coming to fruition. Sometimes it’s simply a matter of being still, opening your heart, and knowing that you deserve your dreams to come true. You are worthy of greatness, and you have the ability to manifest your deepest and most heartfelt wishes. Timing is everything, and the moment is ripe for those lingering desires to be realised. The bounty of the Universe is pouring into your life.
Questions to ask yourself:
- What do I truly desire?
- Is there anything I need to release in order to reach my dreams?
- What steps can I take to help my heartfelt wishes come true in my life?
