I think it's worth reiterating that (in step 1) you need to ask for things at a deep level, at least this has worked for me. I go to a deep level of meditation and then ask. I find it helps shut out the mindless chatter and questioning. I recently asked to get my music career back. I hadn't played a lot in the last 5 years. Through a series of 'universal shifts' I now find myself not only playing again but in the studio playing on someone's album! The universe always seems to have something better than what you asked for up its sleeve! Thank you.
