Manifesting 101

This morning I reaped the benefits of my latest manifestation exercise.

Last month my man bought me a voucher for a three day spiritual alignment (I’ll talk more about what this means another time) with my mentor Doug, who’s teaching me the ins and outs of energy medicine.

At the end of the third day, Doug talked to me about my ability to manifest, and suggested that I test this skill out on manifesting small things to start, before moving to bigger things.

So I kicked off my journey with a request for a white feather. I wasn’t very specific, nor did I give any further information (this can be kind of important, as I soon realised), and about a week later, I was out walking, when I came across a dirty white feather on the ground.

I wasn’t too thrilled with this delivery – I wanted a pristine white feather – not this grotty thing, hence why can be important to be a little more specific when attempting to manifest anything!

So… I decided to try again and I reworded my request. I wanted a pure white cockatoo feather.  I put it out there, and then I let it go (this is also important), and I got on with life.

This morning my request was granted, but not quite in the way or of the magnitude I expected, but I’ll take it!

I heard a commotion outside and looked out of our glass bedroom door to see a huge white cockatoo on the railing outside.

I hopped out of bed and walked closer to the door to take a closer look, and realised this little fella had three friends with him!

So not only did I receive the feather, but I received the whole bird – times four! Cheeky little things!

Ok, so I think the Universe was listening to my request, and because I wasn’t specific enough to ask for the feather to be detached from the bird, I received the whole bird instead!  I think next time I’ll be even more specific, and this experience has shown me that to get what you want, you first have to ask for it, and it’s extremely important that you be specific in what you want!

So how exactly did I manifest this?

It was easy, and it’s something you can do to, if you follow these steps!  As you get better at manifesting what you want, you will find a way that works better for you, although this process should get you well on your way!

1. Decide exactly what you want, and write it down in detail (remember what I said about being specific above?).
2. Visualise yourself receiving the thing you’ve manifested, and imagine how you will feel once it happens. In my case, I imagined I had picked up a feather and I was imagining feeling happy because my test worked!
3. This is important: LET IT GO! Once you’ve summoned up the image in your mind and the feelings associated with that image, trust that the Universe will deliver it as soon as you are ready to receive it.  You need to be ok whether you receive this thing or not.  This is so so important, I can’t stress this enough!
4. A few times each day, and imagine having already received this thing you want, and again bring up those feelings associated with having that thing.
5. Gratitude – start a Gratitude Journal (if you don’t already have one), writing down each day a list of the things you are grateful for.

Number 3 can be tough for some, because if you really, really want something really badly, it’s difficult to just let it go and trust that the Universe will deliver, but you must master this step in order to manifest what you want, especially the big things.

This is because if you’re feeling desperate or needy about what you want to manifest, you’re actually in a vibration of lack. And when you’re in a vibration of lack, guess what you’re attracting!? That’s right – more lack!

It is a good idea to test this process on small things at first. Maybe you could manifest a small green button, a specific type of butterfly, an owl, a rainbow, or a rare type of car.

Then once you’ve mastered the manifestation of small things, you can gradually move up into the bigger things! How exciting!!
