Too often we view each day, not as a blank white canvas, but like yesterday's newspaper, feeling we already know what will happen. Some may call this routine or the daily grind. It can feel so monotonous that we simply go on autopilot and forgetting we have the power to see more, do more, be more and find more within and without.

How would life feel if we regained control of our circumstances; became aware that we are creators of our experiences? What would each of us do differently, what would you differently? For some, the concept of being in control of life feels too distant, while for others the thought of being in control means to dominate. I feel that being in control is neither of these extremes, but a process of understanding what we feel, think and expect is what is created. We are creators. We are amazing creators.

To become aware of the natural laws of the Universe is to become awake - to remember. When we consciously begin to work with the Law of Attraction - which in its pure and simple form means that like attracts like; what we think, feel, desire or even fear we then consciously create. We are amazing creators.

While the Law of Attraction is not a new concept, the practice, for many, still remains elusive. The Universe has no bias, no agendas, no expectations. We are creators of our desires, yet, we feel that we are powerless to change our lives. We place our desires in our hearts, we hold them close and we fear that if we let them go, we will be rejected that we are undeserving and therefore continue to hold in and hold back.

The holding back of our wishes creates an energetic sense of lack or of absence. The Universe, in its unbiased way only serves to reinforce this intention we have set when we hold our dreams, desires and wishes within our hearts. We are not creating what we desire; only more longing for what we seek.

The step most often overlooked when working with the Law of Attraction is the process of releasing and allowing. Worries such as how, when and what if play a major role in the conscious mind, blocking the natural flow of energy the Universe needs to create your desires.

I created MessagesToTheUniverse.com with the understanding that we can and do have the power to create our lives, by consciously working with the Law of Attraction. When we choose to do this, we become aware that what we feel, think, and respond to is in turn created. It has been through my personal journey and experiences that I became fully aware of what is means to release and allow. I know you can change your life, find more purpose, create balance and inner peace - truly create your life and not just live it.

On this website I refer to five elements that I feel are highly significant to this process: Ask, Believe, Trust, Release, and Allow. I feel each one of these words hold a piece of the process for creating and allowing the life you desire.

Ask...
This is the first element in allowing... you are creating in this moment. What do you seek? Feel this desire - spend time with this process, there is never a need to rush through creating your life. As you reflect on what you desire, feel the love and power within you, knowing that you are an amazing creator.

Create a journal or notebook with your wishes and dreams, make note of them and create a story of the desired life you seek.

Believe...
Belief is faith. With faith we know all things are possible. If you believe in what you are creating, you then have faith in its potential. Faith is true confidence in what you seek. Knowing within your heart that your dreams are worthy, you then allow yourself to trust - which is the next element.

Trust...
Trust and Faith are quite similar, but uniquely individual as well. With faith we may feel that we are blindly following, as I feel this is the first step into trust. With trust we step out of the blindness and into the light. In trust we release doubt, fear and uncertainty and replace it with a knowing, a knowing of truth.

Release...
This is an often overlooked element in creating the change that is sought. Release it... let it go... trust and believe it will happen. Know in your heart you are the creator of your life, you have set your intention, created your desire and let it go. It is not up to you to determine how, when or where it will happen, only that you have release it so it can.

Allow...
Simply allow it to happen. You are deserving and worthy and have created the life you seek, allow it to come and be present when it does.

Step into your reality... what do you desire.. what do you seek to create... For some people it is the process of manifesting on a physical level, for others it is about forgiveness from the past - giving space for healing to occur. MessagesToTheUniverse.com was created to allow... to allow everyone, everywhere, the freedom to create the life they desire, and allow it to happen.

I feel it is important to express that as creators of our own lives; we cannot change the lives of others or engage them against their own free will. I suggest that when an intention to the Universe involves the free will of another to always seek what is in the highest good for all involved.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.
When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
- Buddha
