Ever met someone who seems to get everything they’ve ever wanted? Well, it’s not luck – it’s manifesting. If you're new to the concept - here's your guide to manifesting for people who don't 'do' manifesting:
But what is manifesting?
In the simplest words: Manifestation is the idea that you can make something you want happen by thinking about it really hard. It's not a new thing: It comes from the old spiritual idea that our thoughts can change the world and that being positive can solve most of our problems. Some people also say that this idea of creating your reality with your mind (or the "law of attraction") is related to ancient teachings about how your mind, body, and the universe are all connected.
In less simple words: The world we live in works through a constant stream of vibrations (or frequencies) – that operate through that funny little thing called physics – manifesting is the action of influencing these vibrations toward getting the result you want.
Here are the basics of manifesting, so you can dip your toe into getting everything you’ve ever wanted:
Visualization & Abundance
Visualization is a powerful tool for manifesting abundance in your life. By connecting to the source energy of abundance, you can tap into the limitless possibilities that exist in the universe. Athletes and celebrities have long utilized visualization techniques to achieve their goals, and you can harness the same power to manifest abundance.
To connect to the source energy of abundance, start by imagining a bright sphere of light or energy in the sky. Visualize this light as the source of universal abundance, radiating warmth and positivity. Now, imagine this warm, loving light entering your body through the crown of your head and flowing down to your toes. Feel the energy grounding you to the core of the earth and radiating outwards, spreading abundance in all directions.
Take a moment to add your desires to this energy sphere. Whether it's money, loving relationships, or personal growth, visualize your desires as already manifested. Express gratitude for their arrival and release them into the universe, knowing that they are on their way to you. This practice will shift your mindset from scarcity to abundance and attract positive outcomes into your life.
Practicing Gratitude
Gratitude is a powerful practice that can transform your mindset and attract abundance into your life. By focusing on what you are grateful for, you shift your attention away from lack and scarcity and instead embrace the abundance that already exists. Gratitude is not just about acknowledging the big things in life but also appreciating the small moments and blessings that often go unnoticed.
One simple way to incorporate gratitude into your daily life is through gratitude journaling. Take a few minutes each day to write down three things you are grateful for. They can be as simple as a beautiful sunrise, a kind gesture from a stranger, or a delicious meal. By consciously acknowledging and appreciating the abundance around you, you create a positive mindset that attracts more abundance into your life.
Another powerful practice is gratitude bombing. Instead of dwelling on what you lack or comparing yourself to others, focus on celebrating their accomplishments. View their success as an inspiration and an indication that abundance is possible for everyone. By genuinely celebrating the achievements of others, you align yourself with the energy of abundance and open yourself up to greater possibilities.
Embracing Abundance in Relationships
Abundance extends beyond material wealth; it encompasses all aspects of your life, including relationships. By cultivating an abundance mindset in your relationships, you create a positive and supportive environment that fosters growth and connection.
One key aspect is to view love as abundant. Love is not a finite resource; it is boundless and can be shared with multiple people without diminishing its value. Embrace the idea that loving one person deeply does not mean you have less love to give to others. By expanding your capacity to love, you invite more love into your life and create meaningful connections with others.
Additionally, practicing interdependence and collaboration in your relationships can lead to abundance. Instead of viewing others as competition, see them as potential collaborators and partners. By working together, you can achieve more than you could alone. Collaboration opens up new opportunities and expands your network, increasing the abundance in your professional and personal life.
Overcoming Scarcity Mindset
One of the biggest obstacles to manifesting abundance is the scarcity mindset. This mindset is rooted in fear and the belief that there is not enough to go around. However, by consciously shifting your perspective, you can overcome scarcity thinking and embrace abundance.
One effective way to break free from the scarcity mindset is to limit your exposure to fear-inducing media. The news often focuses on negative events, creating a sense of scarcity and fear. Instead, seek out uplifting and inspiring content that aligns with your abundance mindset. Surround yourself with positive influences that reinforce the belief in abundance and limitless possibilities.
Another powerful technique is to reframe past experiences. Instead of dwelling on what a hurtful experience took away from you, focus on the lessons and growth it brought. Every experience, whether positive or negative, can be an opportunity for learning and personal development. By reframing your past, you can release any lingering negativity and create space for abundance to flow into your life.
Taking Inspired Action
While mindset and visualization are essential components of manifesting abundance, they must be accompanied by inspired action. Manifesting abundance is not about wishful thinking; it is about taking intentional steps towards your goals and dreams.
Start by setting clear and specific goals. Define what abundance means to you in different areas of your life, such as career, health, relationships, and personal growth. Write down your goals and create a vision board to visually represent your desires. Place it somewhere prominent where you can see it daily, serving as a constant reminder of what you are working towards.
Next, develop a plan of action. Break your goals down into smaller, manageable steps and create a timeline for achieving them. Take consistent action towards your goals, even if it is small steps each day. Build momentum and celebrate your progress along the way. By consistently aligning your actions with your desires, you create a powerful synergy that propels you toward abundance.
Manifesting abundance is not an overnight process; it requires patience and trust in the journey. Understand that the universe works in mysterious ways and that everything happens in divine timing. Trust that the actions you are taking and the mindset you are cultivating are aligning you with the abundance you desire.
Be present in the moment and appreciate the progress you have made so far. Celebrate the small victories and acknowledge the abundance that already exists in your life. By focusing on gratitude and trust, you create a positive energy that attracts more abundance into your life.
