When we are in alignment, we are connected to our Source, Higher Self, God or any term we choose to describe the Divinity. This alignment offers one vibration with no resistance and gives us access to all the wellbeing from the Universe.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, when we are in alignment we are in our place of <b><i>joy,<\/i><\/b> and everything we have been wanting is available to us. This will include answers, ideas, solutions, inspirations etc. If we find ourselves <b><i>out<\/i><\/b> of alignment, we temporarily block off our wellbeing and our access to what we want as negative emotion makes this so.<\/p>\n<p>Alignment is when we have a desire and offer no thoughts that contradict it. \u00a0This means there is no negative emotion present. An example of not being in alignment with something would be: We want a new job but tell ourselves we won&#8217;t get it, aren&#8217;t qualified, don\u2019t deserve it, or have any other thought or belief about it that doesn\u2019t feel good. This means we are not in alignment with our desire. If, on the other hand, we have a desire that we know we deserve, can have, and believe it will come to us, then we are in alignment with what we want.<\/p>\n<p>This always applies in our parenting. When we are feeling good and connected to Source, we are able to communicate clearly with our kids. We are communicating from our place of power, which greatly increases the chances of having them hear us. But they must be in alignment too, in order to hear what we have to say. We don\u2019t have control of when, and if, our kids are in alignment, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to postpone communication until all parties are feeling good, \u201cin alignment.\u201d I acknowledge this can take a while, but it is the only way any conversation will be of value. Haven\u2019t you found this to be true?<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<i>Your power of influence originates from your place of alignment.<\/i><\/b><i> <\/i>The practice of getting back into alignment when life \u201chappens\u201d enables us to return to our place of power and positive manifesting. When we are in alignment and connected to your Source, we are able to be an inspiration to others, especially our children.<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to comment!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2014. \u00a0Sharon Ballantine. \u00a0All Rights Reserved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is alignment and why is it so important?
