Introduction to manifestation

The definition of manifest is - to make clear or evident, to show plainly. Or, to manifest something means to make something evident or reveal it, often through outward expression or display. 

Manifestation is the product of the law of cause and effect. 

Cause: I woke up on the right side of the bed this morning. 

Effect: So, I'm going to have a good day and be good to others. 

Your good mood manifested a good day and good deeds to others. Easy-peasy!

If I were to teach a class on manifestation, the first thing I would teach is Belief Systems. 

To believe is to accept that something is true or to feel certain about the truth of something. 

To manifest anything in your life you have to move past convincing yourself that it's true and actually believe that it is true or has a real possibility of being true. 

Truth is a dynamic word here because what you believe is true is not necessarily The Truth. However, whatever you believe to be true, you will think, speak and act upon and the real effects of your belief will outwardly affect your life and your surroundings. 

Basically, if you believe you can or you believe you can't, you're absolutely right. It will be made evident in your life. 

Do you believe in your hopes, dreams, and desires? Do you believe you deserve them? Do you believe that you can attain them?

If you hold a "bad" belief system, it will stunt your manifestation power. Manifestation requires a high vibrational energy that you can create or resonate with, but a "bad" belief system will keep you at a lower vibration where you will not be able to access the creative power of manifestation. 

"Bad" does not necessarily mean "evil" here. It does mean negative, lower vibrational energy. It is not The Truth or your truth. A bad or false belief system will not serve you because it does not align with your highest good. It will keep you stuck in a powerless, helpless, or even "victim" mentality. 

You will not be able to manifest by trying to convince yourself that something is true. You have to believe that it is true. The more powerful and immediate the manifestation, the more absolute you must be that what you are trying to manifest is true or possible. 

For example, I believe I will go make myself a cup of coffee. So you go act upon that belief and the result is a cup of coffee. That one is simple. 

Another example, I believe I can earn a college degree. There are a lot more factors here that are going to test your belief system, but if you maintain that you can do it, the result is a college degree. 

This question you must ask yourself is: 

Do you absolutely believe that what you are trying to manifest is true or possible for you?

If the answer is yes, great! Let's get started. 

If the answer is no, great! Let's get started. However, a "no" answer is going to require that you manifest a positive, new belief system about what you are trying to create. 

Either way, do not worry. Both answers require the exact same steps to get what you want. 

Most of us want to manifest positivity into our lives. That is usually why we seek out information like this article or go to a class to learn manifestation techniques. 

First off, let me start by saying that you are an infinite, Divine soul that has limitless creative power. Don't believe me? Look at human history. We humans have accomplished some incredible things and all it took was belief in ourselves, some encouragement, a little support, and resources. 

What we create will reflect our current vibration, energy, and mood. 

If you are low energy or in a bad mood, you might create road rage.

If you are high energy or in a good mood, you might create karaoke night in your car on your drive to the job site. 

Set the moooooood! Let's honor ourselves for a moment and set a sensory environment built for manifestation. 

Sight: You need a clean space, free of distractions. No others, no tv or tech, no distracting messes in your space. You need to be alone; temporarily free of triggers and responsibilities. 

Sound: Put on some high vibes music that does not have any lyrics. If you live in a natural place, maybe the "quiet" sound of nature is good enough. Anyway, make your surroundings sound good to you. Whatever noise you hear must make you feel good in your mind and heart. 

Taste: Go brush your teeth or eat a delicious snack. Whatever is going to lift your spirit that you know you enjoy. Nothing new here. Do what you know makes you happy. 

Touch: Put on some comfortable clothes! We are aiming for comfort here and whatever is touching your skin should feel like a warm hug from a good friend. Make sure your air-conditioning is set to your liking. 

Smell:  Light your favorite candle or some sage. Set the mood for yourself. Whatever is hitting you on the nose should make you smile. 

How do you feel? Sit down and breath a little. How does your skin feel? How does your mind feel? How do your hands and feet feel? How does it feel to breath and listen to your heart beat? 

If it feels good, let's get to the juicy stuff!

Everyone should have the ability to meditate. Here's the good news, it so simple, a caveman can do it! 

How to meditate: 

Step one: make sure your space is free of distractions. You need to be alone.

Step two: Sit down quietly or with peaceful, lyric-free music. Lyrics will influence thought.

Step three: Don't try to do anything. Don't do anything. 

Step four: Your mind will race, but if you sit long enough, the mind will quiet down and you will eventually (15-30 minutes for beginners) be in a space of nothing and quiet. 

Meditation is quite literally, according to Osho, doing nothing; no thinking, no acting, no nothing. 

You just have to be willing to sit alone, quietly, and do nothing until "nothing" is the space you are in. This is where the magic happens. You are in the void. The space of limitless creation.

In your creative space that you have set up for yourself, you are going to reflect on the intention that you set for yourself. 

Your intention is your inquiry to the Universe, The All, or God, respectively. What is it that you want? 

"I want a new car in the driveway now!" This is probably not the best approach. Remember, you have to believe that what you are manifesting is actually true or possible. 

"I would like to be shown how I can receive a new car as quickly as possible." That sounds better. 

"I would like to see that a new car is possible for me in the very near future and I would like to attain it easily and afford to pay for it easily." Sounds great!

Maybe it's not a material manifestation.

"I would like to fix the relationship with my ...." Do you believe it's possible?

"I would like to be shown how I can fix the relationship with my ...." That sounds better. 

"I would like to see that fixing the relationship with my ... is possible in the very near future and would like to see opportunities present themselves in order to create a healed relationship. I request the most benevolent outcome for a repaired relationship. Thank you." That sounds awesome!

Set your intention before you start setting your manifestation space. Speak your intention out loud. Make sure it sounds right to your ears and feels good to your heart and spirit. If you have the correct intention, it will sound like a beautiful thing coming from your mouth. If it doesn't, maybe think on it a little longer and reframe your intention. 

Your voice is very powerful. Don't believe it? Try one of these two approaches:

1) Go up to the next person you see and pay them a compliment. What have you created?

2) Go up to the next person you see and pay them an insult. What have you created?

The same is true when it comes to manifesting what you want. You need to speak. The thoughts you have are but frequencies that exist in your consciousness. You bring that frequency into your environment when you speak. Not only that, but you also solidify that thought into your mind creating a neural pathway or reinforcing one that already exists in your brain. 

Now, here is one thing that I know is true. Through repetition, speaking the same thing over and over again, you can actually change the vibration of what you are saying. 

Here is an exercise for you to try right now:

1) Reflect on how you feel at this moment.

2) Repeat 10-20 times, with a deep breath between repetitions, "Today, in this moment, I am so loved." 

3) Reflect on how your mind, heart, and body feels after multiple repetitions. 

4) Reflect on how your voice changed after just a few times repeating that phrase. 

5) If you did not notice a significant change in your mind and body, put your hand over your heart, repeat the phrase again after taking a deep breath in/out. 

6) Repeat as necessary until you feel it. You WILL feel it when the magic happens. 

Manifestation practice is WORK. There are some cases when creating big changes or trying to manifest something big in your life will take work and a lot of attention. Don't worry about it. If you truly want to manifest this thing in your life, you will happily do whatever work is required. 

Here is how repetition works. When you repeat something multiple times, you start to form a new neural pathway as stated previously. Then, your brain starts to look for evidence that this new belief you are forming is, in fact, true. 

Emotion is energy-motion, E-motion, or energy in motion. Along with your repetition of your manifestation phrase, you may feel moved toward emotion. It could be sadness, joy, or anger. It doesn't matter! Do not judge yourself for whatever emotion comes up. Accept your emotions with grace and they will be your guide while manifesting. 

Perhaps you feel profound joy while repeating your manifestation phrase. Awesome! This is very high vibration and it's likely you are on the right track. 

Perhaps you feel sadness or grief. This also can be very powerful. It could signify some type of forgiveness or "letting go" in the moment. Moving or removing stuck negative energy while manifesting can increase your power and realign your spirit. Trust your emotional guidance and be willing to surrender whatever you are being called to forgive; yourself or other. Honor your sadness or grief as long as it is present. Do not rush through it. Be patient and graceful with yourself as you process this emotion. This is your magic! Don't stunt it. Soon enough, the sadness will pass and you will move into joy. If you do not eventually move into joy, I would take a look at what you are trying to manifest and your timeline. Is it aligned with the highest good?

Perhaps you feel angry while manifesting. Pay close attention to this because anger emotion is a catalyst for change. It is showing you that you are passionately moved to exact change. Allow the anger to happen and once you have repeated your manifestation enough, you should move through anger into joy. If you do not move past anger, I would recommend taking a look at what you are trying to manifest. It may not be aligned with the highest good. 

Give yourself time to process whatever emotion you are feeling. Maybe it's a great idea to journal about it until you have exhausted the emotion. Perhaps it takes a long while or maybe you process the emotion quickly. Whatever the case, please give yourself enough time to process the emotion fully while you are manifesting. Make modifications if needed. Let the magic happen!

Emotions are very, very powerful when it comes to manifestations. You are really feeling what you are doing and that is very important. If you are not sure about the emotions you feel while doing your practice, speak to someone you can trust about your process. Sometimes sharing your experience with another person you can trust will help you remove blockages or make sense of your process. 

I came across The Gentle Way book years ago and it was very profound in my life as it pertains to my ability to manifest in my life and the way I pray or petition the Divine. The book was written by Tom T. Moore and you can visit his website for an incredible selection of resources that will help you in this method of manifestion. It is powerful! My life and those who I have shared this resource are evidence. Here's how The Gentle Way works. 

You have Angels and guides that are here to help you in this life. If you don't believe it, try this method a couple of times and you will most certainly become a believer. I'll put money on it. 

So let's do that. Let's put money on it. The key is to start slow. 

I want you to picture in your mind's eye that your Angels are right next to you (because they are) and say the following statement.

"I request the most benevolent outcome for coming across some money that I do not know I have or that I lost. May it happen as soon as possible. May it be better than I could have hoped or imagined. So be it and so it is. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" 

Another easy request is:

"I request the most benevolent outcome for getting a front parking space at the grocery store. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! And so it is."

Now give it to them completely to handle. Do not worry about it or even give it a second thought. The Divine now has it and they will work wonders to make it happen. 

When you recruit the help of the Divine in your manifestation practice, they can access realms and magic that perhaps at this point, you do not have the ability to affect. They can do it! They are not limited by space and time, but on this realm, we are. They really do have the ability to work miracles.

The beautiful thing is that once that money or parking space comes across your path, it will level up your faith. It's absolutely incredible and with increased faith, you manifestation power will go through the roof! You will start to trust that your Angels will work miracles for you if you simple ask them for their help. 

The Gentle Way is for you, by you. Remember proper ethics when you are using this method. Everything that you ask of your Angels and guides should be about you and for you. 

In addition, benevolence is the key here. You can't and shouldn't use any manifestation method to try to change others or affect other's lives without their expressed consent. This is a lesson you don't want to learn the hard way. Don't do it. Keep your manifestations about you and your presence here in this life. If you are trying to manifest a change in a relationship, keep it about you and your part in the relationship. 

Be aware that your manifestation methods do not cross the line into black magic. Don't do it. It's not worth it. 

1) Do not try to affect other people with your manifestations. Keep it about you.

2) Keep it benevolent. There is no good that comes from manifesting with malicious intent. If you are angry, vengeful, or feel that you need to exact justice, give yourself time to heal, forgive, and manifest from a place of Love. 

3) There are forms of magic out there that dance on the line between white and black magic. Please be very careful when it comes to this influence. I would recommend you avoid anything that is in the gray area. 

4) Remember that what goes around, comes around. Why? Because it is the Law. Do unto others as you would have done to yourself. Do NOT do to others what you would NOT want done to yourself. 

5) Do not make deals when it comes to your manifestations. "If you bring me a | blank |, I will do | blank |." You might be in a tough spot and really need something quickly in your life. Rely on your own power to manifest. Trust yourself. You might be tempted in urgency to make a deal with "the Universe" to get what you want or need. Don't do it! Say what you want and leave it at that. Recruit your Angels for help. They don't need anything in return except for a little action on your part.

In the end, there are no others. There is only you. When you give to another, you give to yourself. When you hurt someone, you hurt yourself. 

I'm going to wrap this article up by saying that all you need to manifest great things in your life is:

• Faith.
• A benevolent request.
• To take action.

Have you heard the story of the guy who prayed day-in and day-out to win the lottery? Finally God felt sorry for him and chimed in, "My son, can you meet me half way and go buy a lottery ticket?" 

Manifestation takes work. You can request a front parking space at the grocery store, but if you don't drive to the grocery store, it's a guarantee that you won't manifest anything. 

You can be manifesting a loving relationship in your life, but if you don't put yourself out there and open yourself to love, I guarantee it will never happen. 

You have to do your part! It is not complicated. I believe in you.
