There's something of the child openness that is part of our topic today. It's the willingness to rest here, opening all the windows to potentiality, to the power of the Holy, to goodness, to light.
Jeannie guided participants to open deeply to the magic of the moment. She talks about opening to the Holy and to "anything is possible" as a key part of what we call "manifesting," to rest as ready soil for Divine seed planting. Jeannie talks about the paradox of opening to what is while being open to what might be, and debunks the myth that the ones with the "stuff" are the holy ones. She asserts that much of the content of manifestation teachings is egoic, and talks about manifesting in a way that is more humble and open to Holy Will, including the role of imagination in healing limiting beliefs.
