Pings
Q: How do I know when to make a move and when to just let things happen?
A: Human Design can help you a lot with this, but most importantly follow your Pings. If you've written the list, you're following the formula and you're doing everything you're supposed to do that's when it's time to surrender and let the test come to you. Let the lessons come to you. Let the pings come to you. There is no such thing as time. We are so programmed to follow a timeline and hit markers that we try to control it all. The more we can start to learn to trust the Universe the more we'll start to realize that you were supposed to have those extra two months because these three things happened and taught me lessons and now it's so much better than it would have been before.
Q: What does it mean when you keep having ideas to make a particular product, and then a day later, you see brands you admire coming out with the exact same product?
A: It means you’re on the right track. It means that the universe is supporting the direction you’re moving down. You’re in this process of dancing with the universe where you're learning that you can truly trust your downloads, so it's communicating with you. I keep a note in my iPhone, of life pings to follow, and I keep a different note for intuitions that are coming through because pings and intuition are a little bit different to me. Pings are like direct communication of what to do now. Intuitions can be warnings or maybes. Keeping those notes will be very helpful. Always keep track of your pings, especially in these type of kismet experiences that are guiding you. Then you're going to get a big download that pieces it all together. All you need to do is thank the universe, keep writing this stuff down, following it, looking for expanders in those places, and knowing that your big download is going to come through. It comes through so strongly when we get our full download.
Q: Should pings always feel good? What if they are scary or bring up fear?
A: Some pings don't feel good. I received great pings in my last relationship that I was in for five years. I was pretty certain this would be the person I would spend my life with. The ping started three years in, it was ‘leave’. It was hard because I was tied up in his family and I was broke. We had a business together. The ping kept getting louder and louder, all of the time. I thought, ‘how am I going to do this? When would I do this? I can't imagine my life doing this’, and then at some point I was about to fall asleep in between conscious and unconscious, and I heard the voice that said ‘leave, you need to go’, and I left. When they feel that big and that different than where you are right now, they're little glimpses into the future. But more than anything, they're a sort of flashing light of what your soul is truly desiring. Pings are not always pretty. They're not always quick. They're not tangible, but they are little clues. Open up to it, surrender, and allow it to continue presenting itself. A great thing to do is write it down in your notebook and keep following the cookie crumbs, the pings. It's going to keep guiding you. They are your soul communicating shifts in your life that you need to follow.
Q: I've been doing the work diligently, and I can feel that my manifestation is close, but I’m getting the ping to take it a little easier and trust?
A: 100%. If you're getting that ping, that's exactly what you should be doing. You may be in the magic dark - that energy where it's time to ground into who you are, how you are, and really start to feel into the intuition of things. The work is there to go back to or do simultaneously.
If you feel, ‘I don't want to fully let go of the work right now,’ just do the one DI a day when doubt comes up. Don't put any pressure on yourself to do the work because sometimes energetically when we're trying to control our experience by overdoing work too much, it’s signaling that we don't have self-worth. It projects that I have to do this because I don’t trust the universe, as a way to control into being. So, if you're getting that download where you feel, ‘I need to trust the universe a little bit more,’ and you want to stay committed to a practice, it's very non-invasive and allows you to be in your subconscious and trust, I would be doing that daily reinforcement exercise from Uplevel and listen to that intuition. You'll certainly get the pull back to needing to dig deeper into other stuff when the time's right.
Q: I want to feel more pings so I've been trying to listen to them. How can I have more spot-on pings, instead of the ones that are falling flat?
A: To start getting clear about this I would come back to that particular ping that really worked out and resonated and I would look at everything that you felt your sensory around it. How did it come through? For instance, all of us talk a lot on the team about how our pings come through. They're all very different. For me, I know it's a more intuitive ping that I should follow because I smell something and I can smell a person. It's like a tingle down my spine and I can feel in my stomach the feeling I get when I'm around that person. I would take note of how you receive the spot-on pings. What was going on in your senses for yourself? You're going to start being able to distinguish when it's a true ping versus when it's something that's says, ‘Does this light me up?’ When you get your pings, does it feel as if you're being pushed toward something? It takes a minute because in society we've been taught to not listen to our intuition and to follow a certain path based on the societal mold. It takes a little bit of rewiring to sit back and watch how the pings are connecting us with what we need and want and are taking us to where we're supposed to be. We have to look at how those are coming through each time so that we can start to really trust those ones and listen to them. A great way is to keep a journal and do the long formula on it. It's like long division. Write out- what was I doing before I received the ping. How did it feel when the ping came through? Did I hear something? Did I feel something? Did I smell something? What was my reaction to the ping? How did I follow the ping? Looking at the patterns of your ping process is going to make it very clear for you in the next six months when you receive the pings that you need to follow. I would do the exact same thing for the pings that fell flat. Look at what those pings felt like. What were you doing? How did it come through? How did it smell? You can decipher what you don't need to listen to and act on and what you should listen to and act on.
Q: Can you manifest clarity or pings which would allow you to write specific wants for manifestations after getting the clarity?
A: Follow all of the little things that are interesting to you. If you haven’t done the How To Manifest workshop, or you haven’t done UNBLOCKED MONEY, you need to do them both because it’s going to give you so much direction. If you are someone who’s not supposed to have that clarity right now it’s because you’re supposed to be going through lessons and life experiences and picking up tools. I encourage you to follow all of the little things that are interesting to you. In terms of expanders, when it comes to this clarity you should be expanding from anybody that models the type of career and lifestyle that you would like, even if it’s not exactly what you think you want. There are elements about those people that are expanding you to show you that’s possible. Another thing I like to tell people who haven’t received the clarity is maybe what you’re going to be doing hasn’t been done before.
Q: Can you explain how you go with the flow, or surrender to where you are at this moment without being passive and letting life pass you by?
A: The whole reason you're doing this work is to get into your authentic flow so that you can fully be strengthening your power into such a strong trust muscle that you surrender and know that you deserve everything that you want and it is coming to you. When you manifest a lot your trust muscle is strong and you can begin to spot your personal pattern and energetics of manifesting. That's when you can toss everything to the wind and surrender. You’re in your power and you're in your authenticity when you know the little tiny twinges that need to happen in order to let what you want come through. I would start to look at it as a practice. Don't treat this as something that you have to be militant about. It's really about starting to tap into yourself and learn your own intuition, energetics and having some tools in your tool belt that you can pull out for any scenario based on what you're manifesting.
Q: How do you follow and trust your intuition but also know you aren't just assuming something you really hope to be true?
A: When we first start to work with our intuition try to listen to it and trust it. It's a whole process of getting to know ourselves. There's quite a few things you can do around this. You should have a journal with you at all times and start writing down every single ping that comes through intuition. Then you can start to look and see what happens so you can look back and see, ‘if I had done this it would have been very successful.’ It’s a process of starting to learn what's being communicated and then deciphering, after hindsight, what was accurate. Start to decipher the ways that you received your pings, or your downloads, or your intuition. An amazing thing to do is go out to the desert or to the forest or camping, and be by yourself for a weekend with nothing distracting you. You’ll start to get clear on your intuition very fast. The more we can get away from distractions the quicker we'll start to get intuitive downloads. It’s a pattern of getting to know yourself, your intuition and how you receive it over time.
