As people who know me would attest to, I talk about manifesting
all the time. My kids sometimes get a little over mom's "rah rah"
talk because, let’s face it, isn't it easier to wallow in your stuff than to
try to turn your life around? Turning
our lives around takes some work and who wants to vest that kind of time?
I am their constant reminder - envision the devil on one shoulder and the
angel on the other...yeah, that's me - wings, halo and all encouraging them to
live their best life. What makes me so qualified to talk about
manifesting? Well, I have been on the other side, wallowing in all that
was wrong, allowing illness to creep in and misery to be the outcome. After
living through illness, depression and an eventual suicide attempt, my personal
healing journey allowed me to understand that our thoughts and actions are what
we manifest in our lives. Looking
back, if I had the tools and knowledge I have now, I would never have fallen
into such despair. I also understand that I had to endure that terrible
experience in order to come full circle. Now I can share with all my
closest peeps, not to mention the whole world, information to help others heal
and create the possibilities they were meant to live. We only have
ourselves to blame for not living the life we want and deserve. Once we get off
the merry-go-round of blaming everyone else for our problems, then we can take
a deep breath and go forward. Changing the vibrations you emanate is the
key. You can say you are positive, but
if you don't "feel" it, then nothing will change. To be able to
truly change your circumstances, start with your thoughts and then feel it as
if it is already a done deal. Some strong examples in my life in the past
two years have been the "knowing" that the perfect mate was there for
me. I knew what I wanted, what I didn't want (all from experience!) and I
was thankful that person was there for me and when it was the right time, I
would meet them. No worries and no neediness.
When you request something from the Universe, set your intentions, feel
it as the truth, then let it go, it manifests. That simple! So, when I
least expected it, bammo, it happened! My soul mate walked in very
unexpectedly, but it was the perfect time because I was ready for this healthy
relationship. Next was moving back to Virginia Beach. I knew I wanted to walk out my front door and
onto the beach within minutes and we were guided to the right house on a road
we had never been on before. Now, I live
in a beautiful location with a lake on one side and the Chesapeake Bay on the
other. I can be on the beach in 2 minutes, no lie. The secret to that was
just setting my intention and knowing it would happen. As a matter of fact, I
accepted the lease on this house before I even got a job in the area because I
"knew" I had the job in the bag. How did I know? I
manifested the kind of office I wanted to work at and the location and -- it
happened. I got the job, the house and the guy. I agree, I make it
sound simple and things were not always that easy for me, but once you believe
in yourself and set your intentions, it just happens. I have healed my
body as well. Anytime I have allowed myself to wallow in worry, fear or
self-pity, my symptoms became worse. It is when I took my health care
into my own hands and realized I could heal my body, is when I did heal my
body. I am probably the healthiest I have ever been, not to mention the
happiest. Those are some examples of awesome manifestations but now let
me tell you about the newest, and perhaps biggest, life changing manifestation
to date. As I was miserable working in law (doing it for over 28 years), I
would sit at my desk with my headphones on listening to any inspirational shows
just to get through the day. I always knew there was something more for
me in this life and that I didn't have to be stuck in anything. My old
responsible, co-dependent self felt like I had no choice, this was my lot in life.
My soul encouraged so much more (ok, it was kicking and screaming at me
so I had to pay attention). While listening to the most fascinating
healers and educators, I would joke with my friend that "just watch, one
day you will be listening to me!" Of course, in my mind I was just
dreaming and joking around as the old pattern of not valuing myself was
something I was still working on. My friend, Kacey, however always
encouraged it and indicated she knew this would happen because I was already
doing it in my every day life – inspiring and encouraging. Skip forward a
few months and I quit my job (which really took guts on my part), started my
Nia practice, got serious with my blogging, took various classes, began to work
with individuals to help them regain mobility after illness, as well as creating
workshops for women to help them transform their lives. Like fairy dust sprinkling down on me, about
two weeks ago I received a call telling me I was referred to an Executive
Producer on Voice America and I needed to follow through with this. It
could mean a possible radio show gig. My old thought pattern came flying
back, "I don't know how to host a show," "what if I can't figure
it out," etc. Doubts, worry, nonsense! So, I got my act together and
said "self, you can do this. You have been manifesting the dream to
help people all over the world to create health and wellness in their lives, to
walk their talk and to take away the stigma from depression and suicide."
What better venue than a worldwide Internet radio show! Getting
myself together, I went through the interview process and felt totally
confident, knowing this is what the Universe had in store for me all along. Still unbelievable but so exciting, my first
show launches on November 21, 2013 at 4:00 pm EST on Voice America's Health and
Wellness channel. (check out www.voiceamerica.com) Appropriately
enough, it is called "Cella's Chat" (pronounced "Chella" as
my Italian husband calls me). Oh, yes, I said husband because my
manifestation created a lifelong partnership. I am telling you, set your
sites high, believe in yourself, the sky is the limit, you CAN heal anything
and best of all - YOU ARE WORTH IT! Labels: cella, cella's chat, change, healing, journey, manifesting, miracles, suicidal tendencies, suicide, virginia
