The Five Principles For Manifesting Your Desires

Manifestation has become a buzzword lately. Though it’s totally awesome that the law of attraction is now trendy, it also can be a bit misleading for folks who are unwilling to do the heavy lifting.

Over the years, I've noticed that many people approach manifestation from a place of “How can I get something to feel better?” Instead, the focus should be: “How can I feel better and therefore be an energetic match for attracting more greatness into my life?” The emphasis must be placed on healing the internal condition, not getting a hot new car or boyfriend.

Before you begin the manifestation process, take the time to release all your disbelief in your power to be happy. In my experience, one of the best ways to clear the blocks of disbelief is to pray for release. Begin a daily practice of asking the Universe to set you free from all the limiting beliefs that block you from believing in your greatness. Stay open for signs from the Universe and show up for the assignments that are brought to you.

Clarity is king when it comes to manifesting your desires. You must have clear intentions for what you want to call in. Otherwise, you can manifest a lot of what you don’t want. Focus on what you desire, then make a list of all that goes along with it. If you’re getting clear about the job you want, make a list of all the things about the job that make you happy: the office, the people, the salary, etc. This list helps you clarify your intentions and access a vibrant mental picture of what you desire.

Now let’s put these steps together: Take your clear intention and spend time every day sitting in the feeling of what it is that you desire. You might access the feeling through meditation and visioning exercises, or call on the feeling when you’re in nature or doing a form of exercise you love.

The next step is crucial to the manifestation process. In order to truly manifest your desires into form, you gotta chill out! A Course in Miracles teaches: “Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait and wait without anxiety.”

Accepting your greatness in this moment, right now, is what manifests more greatness. Being in the now helps you accept that you're already living in your desired manifestation. When you feel it, you live it—regardless of what's happening on the outside. In time, the Universe can catch up with your energy and your desires come into form. This process of allowing the manifestation to follow your internal faith is the true process of co-creation.
