Can't Manifest? Try this!
Have you tried EVERYTHING when it comes to manifesting, but no matter what you do, it just never seems to work for you?
You set your intention.You create the vision boards and journal about your dreams.
You get clarity around your desire and really LEAN into what it FEELS like. You take time to feel those emotions in your body.
And then, you release your attachment to the result/outcome and kick up your feet to let the universe do its work.
This is the standard process or ritual SO many of us are taught when it comes to manifesting.
But for a lot of people (myself included!) this process simply doesn’t work. Today I’m going to be teaching you what might be getting in the way of your manifesting process, and a new strategy you can try if conventional methods don’t seem to work for you.
Before we get into exactly what’s messing up your manifesting, let’s quickly refresh our memories on the thoughts, emotions and actions and how they all work together.
Our third dimension is our physical body, in our physical environment. This is the realm where our actions take place. It’s the realm where we experience the world through our senses - we see, touch, hear, smell and taste.
Our 4th dimension is our MENTAL body. It’s where we think our thoughts, dream, ruminate on the past and the future. Our 4th dimension is not limited by space or time.
Our EMOTIONAL BODY is what connects the two. We think a certain thought, which produces an emotion, which drives us to action. Or, we take a certain action, which produces an emotion, and causes us to have certain thoughts.
The important thing to remember is that when we take action in the third dimension it is ALWAYS for a specific purpose. Even if that purpose is to be lazy, or take a nap, or soothe ourselves with food or wine, we are making a choice in order to get a specific result. (Remember: Even refusing to choose or take action is an action in and of itself 😉)
But what’s important is this:
That while the conventional manifesting technique of thinking to yourself, “Okay, what would it feel like when I get that outcome or result?” and then feeling the feeling works for a lot of people, it does not work for a certain percentage of people on this planet. I happen to be one of those people for whom this method doesn’t work, and I NEVER understood why.
I tried it over and over and over again, and no matter how many times I tried this ritual, I never manifested my desired outcome.
It wasn’t until my mentor said something to me recently that it just completely CLICKED.
I’ll explain why with a little example 👇🏻
Let’s say I have the intention to manifest a million dollars.
So I think to myself, “What would it feel like to have a million dollars?” I get into the headspace of acting as if I already have a million dollars. It feels expansive, it feels liberating, it feels like freedom.
I feel those feelings with every fibre of my Being.
And BECAUSE of this, my manifesting process gets stopped in its tracks!
Why?
Because I am a PROCESS person - not an Outcome person!
You can discover which type you are in your Manifesting Blueprint, which I’m able to find in your Akashic Record by doing a reading.
But what being a process person, or process-oriented means, is that I am not someone who is motivated by the outcome or the result.
For me, it’s not about the outcome of having a million dollars. It’s about the feelings of freedom, independence and expansion that go along with it. So if, during my manifesting ritual, I already FEEL those feelings, then guess what?
I don’t need the million dollars! I've already fulfilled what I was looking for.
If you are a process person, it means we’re similar in that you are motivated by the process, you enjoy moving through the steps and the outcome becomes irrelevant.
It's not really about having a million dollars. I don't care if I have a million dollars, or $40 million dollars, or $40,000. I want to be able to do what I want, when I want to. I’m not attached to any particular dollar figure.
And so if I give myself the FEELING of being able to do what I want, when I want, if I give myself that FEELING of freedom - I’ve already achieved what fuels me. I can't manifest that million dollars now, because I already have the feeling.
Well, one thing we DO NOT want to do is go into lack. Because lack is all about not having, and as soon as we tune into that resonance, we’re just going to attract more of that not having.
But then what CAN we do to manifest?
In order to tell you about my NEW ritual that specifically works for process-motivated people, I want to first take you back to 2008.
In 2008, I owned a real estate school. Right after the real estate market crash, absolutely NO ONE wanted to go into real estate, meaning I lost everything.
I lost my business. My home. My car.
I moved to Atlanta with $47 in my pocket, because I knew that they fed homeless people in Atlanta, and I knew that if nothing else, I wouldn't starve to death. At that point I was nearly starving to death at home, where I was, I had no place to live and no money to buy food.
I knew I had no choice but to move.
And while this was a very dark and scary period of my life, I discovered something incredibly important. I realized that if I could be grateful for what I had, in my current experience, then I got the next thing.
If I was always looking for the next thing, I would never seem to get it, because I was always sitting in the resonance of “I want that thing”. And when we constantly focus on what we want, it re-emphasizes the fact that we don’t have said thing.
Instead of focusing so much on what’s next, I decided to just sit in gratitude for what I already had. I thanked the universe, my Guides and Angels, and God/Goddess that I was no longer on the street, that I had a roof over my head and that I had food to eat. I felt deep gratitude for those things rather than simply focusing on getting two steps ahead.
And by tuning into gratitude, I was able to open up to the next thing - to the next job, the next opportunity, the next level of expansion... it opened up so many extra blessings that came to me, that I wasn't even expecting or looking for.
Being present and grateful for where I’m at in any given moment puts me in a place of total receptivity, and brings in more things that I’m soon going to be grateful for.
So as I stated, if I try to imagine what it would be like and feel like to have a million dollars, and I feel those good feelings, I won’t be able to manifest the money, because for me it’s about the process and the feelings rather than the outcome. I already feel it!
I’ve already stated that my gratitude practice was the key to unlocking success when it comes to manifesting. But how exactly do we use gratitude to manifest things we don’t currently have? This is my process I use now.
What I do is I sit in the feeling of gratitude, for something I already have, that’s on the path to what I desire.
Here’s how you could implement something like this is your own practice.
Set your intention. i.e. I want to manifest a million dollars.
Figure out the resonance of that intention. i.e. The resonance of having a million dollars is one of freedom, expansion and autonomy to live life as I please.
Take inventory of your life RIGHT NOW and figure out what you have, in this current moment, that has the same resonance and is on the path to your intention. i.e. For me, while I don’t yet have a million dollars, I DO own my own business that allows for freedom and autonomy. I set my own hours, choose my own clients and projects. I’m not confined to a certain schedule or way of doing things - I get to decide how I run my business. This is something I already have that has the same resonance as having a million dollars, and is a step on the path towards having a million dollars.
Sit in deep gratitude for that thing that you already have that is on the path to your intention.
Pretty soon, you’ll find that this gratitude practice will help open the next step on the path, and the next, and the one after that...until you’ve reached your destination.
So, if you’ve had trouble manifesting in the old way, I encourage you to try this new way and see how it goes.
For years I felt frustrated, because whenever I would try and manifest in the ‘traditional’ way, I was never, ever able to. I now realize that because of who I am at Soul Level, the conventional techniques simply don’t work for me, but I’ve been able to figure out a technique that DOES. By sitting in gratitude for something I already have, and aligning it with my future desires, I’ve been able to create a life of abundance and empowerment.
