Giving Thanks!
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Manifesting
‘Tis the season to reflect and express gratitude for all the beautiful gifts in life. Some gifts received may initially be seen as challenges. But once we shift our perspective, the true gift is revealed. This has happened numerous times to me this year. What I’ve learned through this is to let go of expectations.
Expectations keep us bound to a thought or belief that our goals will be reached in a specific way. The mind (ego) often believes it knows the best possible route to take in a situation or life. When it doesn’t work out the way we expect, frustration is often the outcome. When we have a specific plan, we may miss possible options all together. When we let go of expectations, we are open to a realm of possible situations or outcomes that take us closer to our goal. Our intentions are built upon going with the flow, instead of steering the course.
For me, this has been a very productive and transitional year. I want to express my gratitude to all of you that have supported New Moon Manifesting, Mountain Meditations, beautiful full moon hikes and meditation overlooking Lake Tahoe, our Tuesday night class/meditation group, my many wonderful private clients, and to those of you who read this blog. This has been an amazing journey for me! As always my intent is to teach people to think outside the box, manage their emotions in a new way, and help them get the results they want. I’ve seen growth and progress in so many this year which makes it all worthwhile.
I also want to express my gratitude to my incredible family, Jason (husband), Shelby and Devan (our daughters). They are encouraging and supportive with every idea, project, and program, whether listening to new ideas or actually participating, they have been an instrumental part in my success. I love you all and appreciate your support!
I am so blessed!
What are you grateful for this Thanksgiving season?

To prepare for the manifesting, write down a list of goals or intentions you want to attract or issues you want to release during the lunar cycle. After the cycle is over, review your old list crossing off goals achieved and file it, then begin a new list for the new cycle. To maintain balance in your life, look at goals on several different levels including financial, spiritual, mental, emotional, and physically.
