Manifestation 101: what is it and how to use it
By: Tatiana Silva 10°B
There are laws in the universe. Laws that rule and control us. If we understand them and learn to use them wisely, then we will learn The Secret and have a “perfect” life. There are many definitions of Manifestation, but the simplest would be ‘something that is put into your physical reality through thoughts, feelings, and beliefs’. This means that whatever you focus on is what you are bringing into your reality. You may focus and manifest through meditation, visualization or simply through your conscious or subconscious.
For example, you’ve been thinking about getting into a new job. You focused exactly on what you wanted and when you wanted it; your thoughts and feelings surrounding this idea are strong. You could then try to meditate or visualize your goal; this can help to manifest it into your reality.
Just as the law of attraction, a manifestation is where your thoughts and energy can create a new lifestyle. If you are constantly being negative and feeling down, then you are going to attract and manifest negative energy. The first thing to do when manifesting is to take a look at your thoughts and feelings. Are you feeling negative? Do your thoughts surround negativity? If so, you might be manifesting things you don’t necessarily want. This is why it's important to clear your thoughts and have a positive mindset when wanting to manifest. Manifestation doesn’t just work with your thoughts, there has to be a form of action on your part. This could be actually applying for the jobs that suit what you are looking for and going to the interviews.
Now that you know what it is, it’s time to learn how to do it in just 5 Steps:
Choose what you want to manifest: When you decide on something specific to manifest, it’s vital that you know exactly why you want this specific thing in your life. And when you’re trying to manifest something in just 24 hours, you also have to pick something you believe you can do in a day. You should ask yourself these questions: do I really want this? How will I benefit from it? When I think about this, does it feel right? Will it be good for me and others?
Get rid of things that stand in your way: Unfortunately, almost always there will be something standing in your way to success. This shouldn't scare you; this is just part of the whole manifestation process. Keep an eye out for these three most common manifestation blocks: negative beliefs/mindset, toxic people, and timing.
Visualize what you want to manifest: Pour all your energy and concentration into seeing it with your mind’s eye. Let all the good feelings about the object or outcome well up inside you. This step works best if you do a multi-sensory visualization; if you can see, hear, smell, touch and (if relevant) taste the outcome you’re looking to create. Make it as real as you possibly can, so it’s almost like it’s yours already. Add as many details as you can, and don’t try to imagine exactly how the thing or outcome becomes yours; instead, focus solely on the end result of receiving what you desire.
Take action to manifest what you want: You can spend the rest of your day pretty much living as you normally would; there isn’t any particular action you need to take in order to make manifestation possible (your intentions are what will determine your success). Rather, once you’ve finished steps 1-2 as described above, you are just waiting for what you want to appear.
Recognize and appreciate: Think of it as when you go to a restaurant and order food. You are not thinking how the cooks are cooking it, but you know it's coming. Although this final step might not look that significant at first glance, it can actually do a lot to shape your manifestation potential in the future. Basically, the key thought here is that you need to fully appreciate what you have once you achieve your goal. It can be easy to forget that you asked for what you received, so take proactive steps to prevent this. Go back to what you first thought and felt when you were visualizing your desired object or outcome. Connect those experiences with the new one of having what you want. Consider the tangible proof you have that thoughts are things, and that thinking in a certain way can create concrete changes in the world around you. The more you make this connection and emphasize it, the better you’ll be at manifesting in the future (as you’ll replace negative, limiting beliefs and doubts with confident, positive thoughts and feelings).
Lastly, believe that your desires are coming your way. Just relax, think positive thoughts, and don't stress about them. You got this! :)
