Simply put...have you done this? Have you been somewhere, in your life, and you put the intention out there to receive energies then and there in that moment, to manifest any guides or guardians watching beside you, where to best place yourself in the service of the nearest most favorable opportunity?
I call this process, spiritual affirmation...not the same as positive affirmation, but something better. And, the reason why is because...it's never let me down.
There have been 3 times in my life that I have done this. Twice, I got increased feelings of awareness surrounding my day-to-day life for a few hours afterwards. The third time, they were insisting that I abruptly change the path that I was on, and it seemed to have gotten me closer to a blessed livelihood over all.
