in the Abraham-Hicks model, yes, the steps are:

1) Ask
2) It's Given
3) Allow

while my inspiration came from another place, there's no doubt that I subscribe to this formula as well… and, I think, the two map onto each other very well…

Allowing sounds passive, doesn't it… but in practice, this is the most challenging step, and it is by no means passive. Allowing means that you have to get yourself in vibrational alignment with whatever you are asking for. Certainly, that does not happen without some awareness, focus, and practice.

ALLOWING and COMMITTING are both really about mindset. But, perhaps, we think of allowing in passive terms, imagining we can sit back, do nothing different, and our desires will come knocking on the door. Allowing really requires different actions (or at least different responses).

Commitment (to me), is about choosing different responses (and often actions) and sticking to them. No matter what. Making the commitment that nothing is more important that choosing to feel good is just another way of allowing.

Same things, I think… but with a different energy underneath them.

(and when I see people "fail," to tell them that they are not "allowing" is not super helpful, in my experience. showing them where they have not committed helps them reframe…)

or something like this!
