5 Steps to Manifestation
Do you know at least one person that seems to make the most of out every situation? Someone who says, “I just manifested this amazing trip with little to no money!” or something similar. Let’s admit, there may even be feelings of jealousy because it appears they have everything, seemingly getting things with minimal effort. Truth be told, I do believe in the power of manifestation and have watched it play over and over in my own life. I also believe we are constantly manifesting…whether it be positive or negative. On the positive side, it feels magical when I manifest what I desire. I have wondered often if there is something “weird” about me? However, I also know that I work very diligently to nurture my soul and have come to better understand that the power of positive manifestation lies within each of us; we simply have to learn more about it.
Just like any other skill people have, manifesting is no different. Skills like playing a musical instrument or making gourmet meals require time and commitment to learn and practice. So does the skill of manifesting. Your ability to manifest abundance depends on how well you learn the skill and how well you apply it.
Even though some of us are better at certain skills, that doesn't mean the rest of us, with practice, can't improve. Some seem to have learned it so well that often times they don't even realize how they do it. Manifesting abundance comes to them so readily it appears ‘natural’ just as a well-trained pianist seems to play the piano without thought or effort. They learn to believe whole-heartedly that they simply deserve something; it is now part of their reality. Those are the ones that seem to be born ‘lucky’. Luck is not how they got there!
So, how can you start on your journey towards manifesting great things for yourself and those you love?
The way that I move towards positive manifestation is taking the following 5 steps:
Believe
Focus & Visualize
Journal
Speak
Act with Intention
In some spaces there is controversy regarding the term “law of attraction.” However, I do think it’s important to at least have a basic understanding of what it is…and what it is not. For the purpose of this discussion, I encourage you to consider how the law of attraction is a concept in which you create your own reality. I have learned that you attract opportunities in your life when you learn to focus and be within the intention and energy of what you want. In order to do this, you must not only think positively; you must also believe you are worth the things you seek.
You probably also know at least one person (hopefully not you!), who dwells on the negative and having less. I have learned that we must be very careful not to be drawn to the fear of having less and instead be focused on and visualize having abundance. When you focus on "I hate my current employment" then you will never notice the aspects of your employment that might be satisfying. I have personally experienced that "not having" attitude and learned that it blocks my true desires.
After belief and focus, action is a must! And action comes in a variety of ways when it comes to positive manifestation. For me, journaling and speaking create an energetic field for my beliefs to begin to actualize. I have a variety of journals, but I have recently decided to have a journal specifically for manifestation so that my focus is clear and energetically not buried between other thoughts I have that carry a different energy. I also verbalize what I desire either simply to myself or to my partner whom I know has the bandwidth to hold space for me.
Finally, acting with intention is the biggie! Instead of doing things that have nothing to do with my desires, I work towards doing small habits and activities that support the manifestation that I desire. I move towards the opportunity as though it is already mine. This may come in the form of creating Pinterest boards of the retreat space I want to build or I listen to podcasts that include people who are living, describing and doing the very things I want to do.
I have considered doing a masterclass about moving through these steps because it’s such a powerful process to receive what you desire. Writing this blog may in fact “manifest” such a class! Is it your turn to make the most of out every situation? Is it your turn to manifest the life you desire or stay in a life that is lacking? Take a small step to doing these five steps and simply see where you land. You deserve all you desire- you’re worth the time it takes to manifest your dreams plus the opportunities worthy of your gifts.
