Divine Manifestation
One of my favorite topics to discuss is manifesting! Once I started to understand that I possess the power of creating what it is that I desire for my own greater good, I then started to focus my attention more on manifesting. Notice that I said for my greater good, but we will get back to that later. So what is manifesting? Manifesting is basically you speaking what you want, visualizing what you want, or simply putting in the work that it takes to obtain what you want. Manifesting is the knowing that a particular desire will come to life in your reality prior to it taking place. Speaking life into your desires! Regardless of your religion or spirituality, you have the ability to manifest, you just have to know that you do.
Many people go through life feeling as if they just have bad luck, thinking that they are hexed, or they just have to deal with the cards that life deals them without them diving deep within themselves to see why things are the way that they are when it comes to their luck. Manifesting can go both ways when it comes to you manifesting good and bad in your life. Some people tend to think negatively when they are “hoping” that something that they want goes the way that they want it to go….for example you heard that there is a an opening at your job that can result in a promotion for you if you get the job. The more and more that you think about how great the opportunity is you may start to think about all the ways in which you do not qualify for the position or if you do get the position you may start to question if you will be able to perform the requirements of the position. At that time you may find that the time you are spending thinking about how you may not get offered the position and your inabilities to perform the tasks of the position outweigh the time you put in initially thinking about how great the position is and how much you truly desire the job offer. So you’ve just completely manifested against your desires and you may be disappointed if you do not get offered the position, but not shocked..because subconsciously you blocked yourself from having a fighting chance to get offered the position. If only we knew how many times we’ve manifested against ourselves based off our default to think in a negative manner...
Why does this happen? This happens because everything is energy. All things good and bad is energy. Once you truly understand this and it’s not just seen as a phrase then you will start to breakdown certain things in your life and realize that there are things that you do have the ability to change. Have you ever heard of the term “Where your focus goes, energy flows?” Think of it like this, what you focus on is what energy will get behind and support..because your thoughts commands energy on where to go whether you are focusing on positivity and or negativity. Now you have many people who speak on manifesting and they tell you that as long as you know it will happen it will..we must understand that life happens and sometimes it’s not the right time for what you desire or our inabilities to see further down the line, with certain things, prevents us from knowing that what we may want right now can actually work against us in the future. This is where we re-visit my statement of “I possess the power of creating what it is that I desire for my own greater good”…I always make sure that when manifesting I say the phrase “for my greater good” because as badly as I may want a particular thing to manifest, if it is not for my greater good then, I do not want it to manifest. Short-lived happiness should not out-weigh a lifetime of joy.
So now that we have scratched the surface of manifesting, let’s manifest!…we will use manifesting a lover for companionship for example. Please note that when manifesting things outside of yourself you first need to evaluate yourself within. This is important because you can manifest something outside of yourself, but if you have not started that inner work on yourself then you can completely destroy what it is that you manifest. We are going to break down a few tips on how to tackle your inner work to manifest a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend. First ask yourself why do you want a companion? Since this is private and you do not have to feel embarrassed of your answer, be honest with yourself. Based off your answer or answers think about your past relationships..how did the experiences make you feel and why?...what are things that you allowed to take place in those relationships (good or bad) and why did you allow them to take place? This will help you go deep with addressing any traumas created prior to or during those relationships as well as utilizing the good things that took place to create a list of what you want in a companion (we will re-visit your list later)..most importantly ask yourself if you are ready to receive what you are wanting to manifest?...now that we have something to go off as far as addressing past hurt, re-living in the moment of happy times that made you feel good, having clarity on if you are in a good place to receive your desired manifestation..let’s now take our list and go deeper in our manifesting! Set the mood for yourself…have soft music playing, open up some of your favorite wine, have your favorite fragrance candle burning…put on your favorite body oil…wear something that makes you feel sexy..relax in a bubble bath..whatever sets the mood for you. Now visualize yourself with your companion (you can even put a face to them based off what you like physically or not)…visualize how they first approached you or you approached them..where were you at when you met them?..visualize yourself being happy with them..them being happy with you..your first date…your first kiss…saying “I love you”…the first time that y’all are intimate..moving past the dating phase into your engagement..details of the proposal…details of your wedding day together…your first home..how does it look?...does it have the closet space that you want…what meals are y’all preparing together in the kitchen…the moment that you both find out that you’re going to be parents..and on and on…do this often! Whoever said that daydreaming is bad? Daydreaming is manifesting!
Now let’s travel back to that list you created! Please do not feel as if everything has to be checked off of your list in order to know that it’s real lol. As I mentioned before, what we may think is good for us in the moment can actually be a hindrance to our future. Now, for example, if you put on your list that you want monogamy, someone that will not be physically and mentally abusive, and things of the like and this person is the complete opposite then my advice would be to not compromise on those items on your list. If you put a face to your companion and you meet someone who does not look like the person that you envisioned, it is okay because you should go off the feelings that you feel versus it not being who you envisioned! Manifesting is being able to match the feeling you experienced during the process of manifesting to the feeling that you feel once you’ve actually manifested your desire!
Think of what you want to manifest, think on things that you need to address so that those things will not hinder or ruin what you manifest, and put yourself in the moment of what you want as if it has already been manifested, and continue to know that it will happen (know that it will happen and not believe that it will happen)!
Please note that you may be tested while waiting on your manifestation to come into fruition…meaning life may start to look as if it is going in the opposite direction or you may start to doubt it even happening..keep in mind that you are being tested to see if you are serious about what you want..if so then in these moments go back to your visualization to re-focus your energy!
Happy Manifesting!
