“I AM” is a sacred name.

“God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.'” (Exodus 3:14)

Using I am statements is a powerful and easy way to increase your results because it connects you to spirit and places you in the present moment.

I am an avid walker and love walking in nature areas as I feel more connected to source energy (God, Universe, Life). I often do active meditations while walking and say affirmations. During this time of meditation one of the most powerful series of affirmations I discovered is:

I Am Love

I Am Light

I Am Joy

I Am Life

All of the above statements represent Divine Presence and when spoken aloud give voice to our connection to that presence.

As I was saying the latter affirmation, I am life; an inspired idea came to me about what the acronym for “I AM LIFE” could represent as a powerful manifesting tool.

There is power when we start each part of our vision for life with the words, I AM.

“I Am” is the recognition that I AM PART of the one presence and one power. I recognize that I am a spiritual being having a human experience. I am connected to this infinite mind that has answers to everything I’m facing. There is an infinite presence and I am part of it.

LIFE is what gives us presence in this human reality. Life is the very thing that breathes us. We can’t even make our own heart beat. What is within us is greater than anything outside of us. Life is a gift in which, if we choose, we can share our passion and purpose.

So I created this acronym as a way to help us remember we get to co-create, design and manifest a life that's in harmony with our Soul's purpose. We realize life is happening through us, from the inside out, rather than the default of life happening to us being pushed and pulled by our conditions.

This is what I came up with…

Acronym for “I AM LIFE:”

Intention

Attention

Motivation/Why

Life – connection to source energy

Intuition/inspired action

Faith

Energetic frequency

Intention

Intention is what we intend to create. We use our imagination to create an image in our mind of what it is we want. We make this image as clear as possible and note, this image will evolve as we grow in awareness. We must have a desired outcome. Without knowing our destination we have no foundation for the steps required to get there.

Attention

Attention is where we place our energy. If we are to create a particular dream/goal we must place our focus on what we want. Where attention goes energy flows. If we plant a seed and intend it to grow, we must attend to it, water it, nourish it, and weed out all that hinders its growth. As we place our attention on what we want, we learn to experience it as if it is happening now, in present time. This is one of the powers of the I Am (present tense). It keeps us in the present moment.

Motivation/Why

In manifesting any desire there has to be motivation, a reason why we want what we want. Often times our why is completely different than what we think. For instance we say we want more money, but actually it goes deeper than that. What we truly want is the freedom and ability to do the things we want to do, or it is the desire to work less so you can spend more time with family. Money is simply the tool, the means by which you can bring that about. Whatever your why, it should reflect what your true desire is so take some time to discover your why. It also should be a strong desire, not just a whim and have in it some good for others.

Life

Life as I said early is our connection to source energy. We must first lift our awareness to the realization that there is one presence, one power, one life. Through the practice of prayer and meditation we can keep this upper most in our mind.

Intuition/ Inspired Action

One of the ways to accelerate into your dream is to learn to listen to the “still, small voice” — your intuition.

Gandhi said, “The voice for truth is as loud as our willingness to listen.”

It is always there to tune into but we are not always listening. Even if we hear it we tend to let our conscious logical mind override its message.

For some of us it takes practice and time to build our intuition muscle. However, every time you take the time to still yourself in a calm, quiet state of mind, that is when you receive inspirational ideas and inspired actions steps. Simply ask a question for example; what is the next best step I can take that will move me in the direction of my dream? Get quiet, listen and stay in the listening.

Faith

Bottom line we must believe our dream is possible. We must have faith that the power within us is greater than our circumstances.

“Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” - Napoleon Hill

In short, your dream will not happen from the mind that doesn’t believe it’s possible, or from the mind that is convinced conditions have to change before you can get there. The conditions never change first. The conditions change because our thinking changed.

Energetic Frequency

A higher frequency is more compatible with answers, solutions, insight, inspiration, and enthusiasm. It is a way of taking the limited mind and moving it into the genius mind where any answer is available.

We cannot achieve our dream on the frequency of doubt, worry, frustration and fear. We need to change the channel. We have been on CNN (constantly negative news) for too long. Our dream, if it makes us light up, meets our core values, requires us to grow, requires help from the higher power and has good in it for others; that dream is on an entirely different frequency.

To reach our dream we must be in alignment with our dream. To do this we let go of the struggle and angst. This is what it looks like while it’s getting solved. Let go of all the thoughts of what might go wrong or what has gone wrong in the past. We let go of the worry and doubt.

I let go of the conditions and I say, “I may not know the answer right now, but I do know the answer exists, and for that I am grateful.” We practice kindness, gratitude and forgiveness.

If you follow, study, and practice these 7 key principles, in a very short time you will notice a change in your thinking which in turn will shift the conditions around you to be in alignment with your dream.
