An introduction to manifesting
How many times have you heard “manifest” or “manifesting” or “I am manifesting.” It does feel a little like a buzzword and I only more recently have been actively manifesting things in my own life.
Manifest as a verb is to to show something clearly, through signs or actions.
As an adjective manifest means easily noticed or obvious.
When it comes to manifesting dreams, hopes, desires, it is all about thinking more positively… but this isn’t really just it. We can’t just wake-up one day and be all like, “I am so positive now and that’s that,” after years of negative thought patterns or the constant what ifs or self doubts. The aim here is to work on the undoing of the negative thought patterns that have… manifested themselves.
Also let’s be honest- it sounds a little ‘out there’ to so many. In fact maybe some of you are reading this and are already glazing over with a ‘pfffttt- okay hunzzzz.’
“You control a lot by your thoughts and we control a lot by our joined thoughts… by what I [and we] believe. When I started to figure that out for myself I became careful of what I think and what I ask for. I was like what else can I do? What else can I manifest, because I have seen it work. I have seen it happen over and over again.” Oprah.
Essentially manifesting is making what you want a reality through thoughts, beliefs, emotions and actions.
This is not something that anyone will find that easy and it is also difficult to remember to keep actively being positive but there are many ways of manifesting your thoughts and hopes so I thought I would include a few ways in your letter today.
Taking time to pause and tune into your wants and needs
If we take time to sit, listen and pause we can tune into our desires and needs. Simply taking 5mins (longer if possible) to sit still and listen to our mind and our body will allow thoughts to flow giving us a clearer image in our mind about what it is we actually want.
Tuning into the higher realms
This is taking time to have a conversation with those who you believe to be supporting you day to day. This may be God, your own devas, angels or elementals. However you view this support, it is great to take the time to actively tune in by imaging them or feeling their presence and asking them for support with what it is you would like to invite into your life. This can feel strange to begin with but the more you do it the easier it will feel.
Pulling cards
I don’t mean in a magic trick…pick a card any card look at it and don’t show me. I mean grabbing yourself some tarot or oracle cards. There are loads out there and people ask what pack to go for? My answer is always just go for one that you feel drawn to. I have recently bought myself this animal pack and these oracle cards to support me in a lightworkers course. When pulling a card you simply put out the intention or the question and take time to visualise this before pulling a card. Choose a card you are drawn to and listen to the guidance.
Making a list of what you want to achieve
Making a list of goals is of absolute use when it comes to manifesting. Smaller goals work best and then you can look back at what you have achieved to spur you on more.
Using your cycle/the moon
Our cycle has amazing powers when we tune in. This is either your cycle or the moon. You simply make a list of smaller goals to achieve that month and then aim to work towards them by the end of the cycle. Using our womb as our creative focus point is absolute key. Taking time to tune in and slow down with our wombs to clear stagnant energy and breath in light can only aid manifesting your dreams and hopes. Grab yourself a moon app and focus in on the full moon and new moon. Today is in fact a new moon. So what better time to start if you haven’t already.
Be thankful
Thanking the universe for what has been achieved is absolutely necessary while remembering your worth. Remembering your positive talk. “Thank you for … I am worthy and deserve this in my life.”
Don’t give mixed signals
Be clear. This is what you want. This is what you deserve. Giving mixed signals to the universe isn’t going to get you what you want as quick as you deserve.. As soon as you start with the negative/self-doubt chat then you aren’t being clear about what you want to achieve. Work towards your goal to be clear about what you are actively seeking.
Keep plugging away
The things you want the most are unlikely to land in your lap. You have to be working towards them with little steps. Don’t stop. Keep going. Even if it feels like nothing is happening look back at what you have achieved and consider what the universe is telling you. How is it guiding you? Don’t forget that ICE article here.
Tune in with your higher realms daily
Taking it a step further you can ensure you seek support from God, your angels, devas, spirits, ancestors (whoever it may be) daily. Take time to sit with them or ask them for support even if it is just a second as you are leaving to go out to work or for a walk.
Some of you will find this super exciting and bang on. Some of you will already be doing this and some of you will think this sounds wild. Either way. I wanted to share that I manifested something very specific recently. I put it out there. I told people around me that I was manifesting for this specific thing. I took action by planting the seeds. There really was only a small chance that such a thing would come to fruition. And then…one day…there it was…Arlo pulled it out the ground.
A carrot with a penis. Believe what you want but I manifested that carrot and I was chuffed.to.bits.
Much love
