This is my most commonly asked question - how do I manifest?
Personally, I absolutely LOVE manifesting. I love feeing in alignment with the Universe and I love being open to the flow. Theres nothing better than putting your full trust in to the Universe and allowing your pathway to be lit. I have plenty of wonderful manifesting stories but I will save those for another blog, just know that I am sat in one of my biggest manifestations writing this to you - my house.
And with all the questions surrounding manifesting, I felt called to explain more about how I manifest and share some of my personal do's and don'ts of manifesting.
So, what is manifesting?
Manifesting is bringing something tangible in to your life through attraction and belief - if you think it, it will come. Manifesting is making everything you want to experience and feel in to reality, via your thoughts, actions, beliefs and emotions.
You can practice manifestation to attract anything you want. Sometimes we can manifest things beyond what we ever thought was possible, so it is really important that you keep an open mind, and stay open to different paths and possibilities. When you bring yourself in to alignment with the Universe, there is no limit to what you can bring in to your life - exciting right!?
The big thing about manifesting isn't about getting - its about allowing. Allowing things to flow to you. Let go of control. As soon as you let go of controlling, and give that to the universe, you will become a magnet for what you desire.
Often people become so stuck on controlling what they want, and how they get what they want, they become stuck. Being stuck creates blockages to the flow, and you become powerless. Harness the creative energy. Flow with the forces outside of you, take powerful actions to be in alignment with what you want.
We are all made of energy. When we vibrate at low level frequencies, we attract low level circumstances. When we are vibrating on a higher level, we attract positive outcomes and situations.
Are you ready?
The number one element to manifesting, is to live your life as if you already have what you want. Vibrate on that level. Cultivate that energy. Ultimately, it is ALL about your energy. Trust that you will be manifesting what you desire, and that your living the life you want to experience.
For example, if you want to attract more abundance to your life, but you're always focussed on money thats being spent, bills coming in, the things you don't have - and you compare yourself to someone that has all the things you want. You will attract more lack. This will create more lack. More unexpected bills, more outflow, less income. Don't focus on what you don't want - or you will get more of it.
Remember - you have to FEEL it. Be conscious with your thoughts, emotions, actions and feelings.
OWN what you want. Be unapologetic about what you want. Believe it can and will be yours.
When you know what you want to manifest, ask the Universe for it. This can be done in a variety of ways - meditation, visualisation, speaking, writing/journalling, vision boards, affirmations and prayers.
Vision boards and affirmations can be great, BUT you have to do the extra work with them. Use them to keep your head on the focus, use them to keep clarity, but don't use them to attach yourself to a specific path or outcome. Sometimes the Universe has a better pathway to get you to where you want, and if you're hyper focussed on one way, you will miss the signs being shown to you.
One way you can write them down is the 369 method - write down what you want 3 times in the morning, 6 times in the afternoon and 9 times in the evening. REMEMBER though, the wording you use is very important. Write it as if you already have it.
I always find it really helpful to have some super manifesting crystals around. Green Aventurine and Citrine are my personal favourites, but there are others if you feel drawn to them. I find this supercharges my intentions and gives them that bit more of an energy boost. I keep the on me, and I also pop them on to the piece of paper I and writing my intentions on.
Remember, true manifesting isn't always about receiving what we think we want. Sometimes its about receiving whats meant for you, guiding you towards your desires. TRUST its being taken care of, let the universe lead the way.
LET GO of the force. Don't sweat the small stuff.
Make manifesting a part of your daily life. Manifesting doesn't happen overnight, and it does require you to take proactive steps towards whatever it is that you desire. There may be some limiting beliefs, fears or negative self talk holding you back from what you want - be conscious of these and work through them to move past them.
Remember, manifesting is reframing your mind to be the person that already has, does and feels your goals, dreams and desires.
Focus on the feelings of joy and happiness. Be grateful for all that you already have (start a gratitude journal to make it easier), and welcome all that is flowing to you.
Remember - What you can visualise in your mind, you can hold in your hands.
Happy Manifesting!
