In Conscious Creation, we often address the importance of being in a high frequency state and the skill of visualization, but one topic that frequently doesn’t receive its due is Detachment.
Detachment is what should happen after you’ve put in your order to the Universe. It’s not disinterest; it’s that wonderful place of confidence that the Universe is working on delivering your order.
Failure to detach is the state of anxiousness, questioning if manifesting really works, wondering if the Universe really heard your request, being in a state of fear that it might not manifest, repeatedly putting in the order just to make sure that it “takes, or wanting something sooooooo much that you choke off the positive energy bringing it your way.”
The Universe needs only one clear, well-envisioned request to put things in motion!
So how do you keep your hand off the controls and detach?
1. Assume It’s a Done-Deal-Just stand in the belief that all is well and all is working in your favor to bring you your intention. My friend and fellow conscious creation teacher Anisa Aven (www.creatavision.com ) reports…. “my favorite conversation with the Divine usually sounds something like, “God, this ‘issue’ is YOUR job and YOUR responsibility not mine. Therefore, I’m handing it over to you. I will relax and listen for your Divine Guidance. I will prepare to receive my good and know that this is handled. I will remember that my ONLY responsibility is to be aware of the Divine Presence within as the ONLY source and supply for all my good. I accept that as a Divine Child of God it is truly impossible for me to have any wants, needs or unfulfilled desires. Therefore, God, thank you for taking care of this for me. It is done.”
2. Occupy Yourself with Other Self-Nurturing Tasks—One of the best ways to just let it go is to do some self-pampering while the Universe is at work. It takes your mind off of what you don’t have yet and on the blessings of what you do have. Take a long hot, slow bath in essential oils; get a massage; put lotion all over your body; have a facial, plan a girlfriend’s night on the town, etc. Relax into letting your wish take its own course.
3. Occupy Yourself with Serving Others—This is a surefire way to put your self-awareness on the back burner and focus on the gift of what you can do for others. It’s a perfect signal to the Universe that you are indeed ready to receive whatever you requested, so no need to think about it anymore!
4. Do a Ceremonial Send-Off for Your Wish—It’s fun to actually send your wish off to the Universe symbolically, releasing it from your hands. Mail it to God in an envelope. Secure and release a white dove to carry your message for you. Sing your request and allow the music to fade. Burn a candle to its completion after stating your intention or wish. You get the idea!
5. Go About Your Business With a Smile and a Glow –Glow! Know that you are deserving and it’s on its way. The best way to smooth the path of its arrival is to be happy, wear a smile and feel good about yourself, your life and the coming of your desires.

I loved this article. I wanna add sth that I heard from somebody whose name I don´t recall right now. But, he said, it´s quite interesting how we sometimes have more faith in a waiter/waitress than in God. And I said, how come? And he said. When you go to a restaurant and order sth, you don´t get anxious or question the waiter every single second about the food you´ve just ordered. You just sit and relax, happy about what you know is gonna come in a minute. But when we send a request to the universe, we get uneasy and anxious. It shows that we don´t have enough faith. The universe has its own time setting and we should trust THE COSMIC KITCHEN ( or restaurant). I loved that, didn´t you?

Hey Maria
Thanks for adding your thoughts. I love the idea of a cosmic kitchen. Thinking of the Universe as the Source of what feeds me open the imagination for all the sumptuous meals and feast we can open to receeive.
BTW - what does sth mean?

Thanks for the clarification. You used it in the transcribing and I wasn’t sure if I was correct.
