Starlight, starbright...and the Amygdala

There is so much to learn from the simplicity of the nursery rhyme

"Starlight, starbright...first star I see tonight..."

. . . that I use it as a model for manifesting.

Step 1: Look for a star and say the rhyme (yes, a simple way of evoking a celestial body)

Step 2: Visualize your wish/ intent (often, you will catch yourself looking up to the right)

Step 3: Smile (since your wish is something that you like, smiling is a natural reaction)

Step 4: Just go back to doing whatever and forget Steps 1-3.

There is a common thread to the events/ situations/ objects that I have manifested ---- all of them arose from a fleeting thought very similar to the steps I described above. None of them came from long hours of hard and desparate concentration. The energy of the former is lighter and fast, the latter is heavier and slow.

The nursery rhyme comes with a carefree and attitude. Yes, just like a child. It is no wonder children are able to manifest candies almost out of thin air.

Now, if we follow the formula for manifesting, the next obvious question is: Where does the energy or chi emanate?

Try the exercise again above and tell me how it feels? It's very hard to describe....To me, it's a light feeling that comes out from somewhere in my head with a sensation from the solar plexus and heart area.

Sometime ago I searched the web for something similar to my experience. I'm glad the site is still up. Here's the link:

It is a description of how to "click" the Amygdala (from the word Almond)

An almond-shaped mass of gray matter in the front part of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum. Also called amygdaloid nucleus.

If you go to the main site: http://www.neilslade.com/ you will find a menu of articles. "Popping Your Frontals" is another good read.

Let me know if you get the same sensation in the head.
