Creation
Station
Journaling can be a great process for connecting with yourself, your goals and dreams. Many successful people throughout history have used journaling, and for good reason. Writing out your thoughts, challenges, and feelings allows your left brain to be occupied, so the creativity in your right brain is able to flow and create solutions. It’s actually been shown that journaling even has a positive impact on your immune system!
So where do we start? For someone who has never practiced manifesting before, these next few pages are for you. Even if you are experienced, take a gander. These next couple of pages will help you cultivate techniques that work for you, and create a practice that you’ll really enjoy. Even if you’re not looking to bring something specific into your life, the daily practices will help you live a happier, more fulfilled life.
Why Practise
Manifesting?
The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are. - Rumi Manifestation is the most radical form of self love. You are stating what you want, that you are worthy of it and allowing it to come to you through trust. You are born with the ability to create, but without nurturing it, you forget about it.
What Can I Manifest? Manifestation is simply the process of creating more wanted things. It can be anything like creating a specific emotion, a wanted outcome, or tangible things like money, a new lover or a specific object. Some stories I’ve heard range from finding a diamond in the grass, getting an unexpected direct deposit just in time to pay the rent and an unexpected check in the mail to do a project after asking the universe for more money. I’ve personally manifested money, dream clients, multiple apartments, moving to a new country and cars. These are things that happen all the time for people all over the world who are not extraordinary or particularly special and you can do it too.
“You can have anything you want, as long as you believe it is possible.” As you read the above sentence, check in with yourself. Did you scoff and think about something you feel is super lofty or out of this world? That’s your inner critic again, wanting to make sure you don’t pursue anything that takes you out of your comfort zone. The thing that stops us from being able to manifest what we want is that it feels like it’s too much (aka we don’t deserve it), too specific, or too big. Abraham-Hicks says, “It’s as easy to create a button as a castle.” and in practicing raising our levels of belief, it makes it easier for us to have the things we desire. For example, there were two young men grew up in Ohio and had an idea to do something that no one had ever done before. Thanks to them believing in their vision, the Wright Brothers pioneered the technology to allow us to to fly all over the world. There was also a young girl who was asked what competition she wanted to win. When both her and her sister chose Wimbledon, her Father made her choose another tournament.
Serena Williams has now gone to become one of the most decorated athletes of all time. A similarity these three people share is that their parents instilled in them that they could achieve what they wanted, that they were capable, and encouraged them in what they wanted to grow in. You now have the opportunity to be that person for yourself, be your biggest cheerleader, and be kind to yourself as you go through unlearning old beliefs by focusing and instilling new beliefs. The steps to manifesting anything are quite easy and like most new activities, the more you practise them, the better you will get.
Your Inner Critic How often do you want something and the next thought after is all the reasons you shouldn’t have it, that it could never happen to you, that you don’t deserve it. Your inner critic was created to keep you safe, make sure you didn’t overextend yourself, eat way too much candy, embarrass yourself or die, however over a lifetime, it’s picked up thoughts, beliefs and habits that hinder you more than help you. If you’re wondering how you picked these beliefs, it’s easy to see. According to a Harvard study, we form 80% of our thoughts, judgments and beliefs about ourselves and the world by the time we are 9 years old. This critical period is when we solidify concepts like trust, shame, doubt, guilt, competence and self-esteem. If you think back to the people you were around at that age, you soaked in their beliefs, which might not necessarily been right. Additional phases of our lives are; 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
When the amount of information that we actively instill begins to taper off. We start living with these beliefs as our truths. We notice that some beliefs don’t work. We start searching for new beliefs that feel in alignment or feel correct to us. We actively practice instilling and living a new value and belief system.
Most people that start looking for tools like this manifestation journal are in phase five. You know what you want to be different and your ready to let it happen. Manifestation is often thought of as “woo-woo”, however all it comes down deciding what your new operating system will be and practice living these new beliefs as our truths. There are four main steps to manifesting; 1. 2. 3. 4.
Deciding what you want. Connecting to the feeling. Focusing on what you want. Allowing it to come to fruition.
Let’s explore all of them in the following pages!
Decide What You Want & Release Any Blockages “You better stop blocking your blessings.” - Cheryl Sutherland “What do you want?” When was the last time you asked yourself that and answered honestly without shrinking, compromising or second guessing? There are a bunch of misconceptions that pop up when talking about what you want that are absolutely false. Some of the more common ones are that in doing so you’re not humble, that you’re selfish, ungrateful, or taking from others by asking for more. Think of this process with the complexities of ordering a pizza. You don’t call your local pizza joint and say, “ I think I want a pizza, can you just give me something with cheese? No fuss, I don’t want to be a bother.” 40 minutes later, your mouth starts salivating as you answer the door, take your new treasure and run gleefully into the kitchen. You slowly open the box as you let the aromas waft over you and your eyes finally land on broccoli, pineapple and pepperoni on your pizza. Turns out you got the new specialty they are trying out. Your excitement is out the door and you spend the majority of your time picking off ninety percent of the toppings. You avoid this situation by clearly asking for what you want when you call in your order! Have you ever felt guilty for adding a topping? Selfish for taking one off ? Ungrateful for switching the crust? It’s the same way you should feel about asking for anything you want, period.
Let's Talk About Money, Honey. I met a fellow who was a healer 2015 at a house party in LA. He traveled around the world taking care of others, but felt like asking to be paid was unspiritual. At that time he lived mostly on the good will and handouts of others, which isn’t a problem if you feel fulfilled and happy whilst doing so, which it seemed he was not. In the Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda was a young boy when he decided the Universe was going to take care of him. People would give him money, food and support without him asking. He would set goals and ask the Universe for them to be fulfilled and things would fall into place. The legacy that Yogananda left behind has allowed millions of people to be impacted as he took the lead in bringing the teachings of yoga and meditation to the western world. For our healer friend, life wasn’t quite so easy. The conundrum was, if he had additional financing he would be able to help WAY more people and also enjoy his life as he’s helping others. Ultimately, money is neutral. We decide if it’s bad or good and simply amplifies who you are as a person. If you are a caring person and you hit the lotto, get that raise or inherit funds, you get to be even more caring. Think of your favorite person in the whole wide world and imagine them winning 27 million in the weekly lotto. If you didn’t think they would change, then allow yourself that grace as well. In pushing money away or denying yourself of it, you’re telling the universe that you don’t want it, and so it goes.
Connect To The Feeling & Act As If It Is “If something you want is slow to come to you, it can be for only one reason: You are spending more time focused upon its absence than you are about its presence.” - Abraham-Hicks When writing out what you want, the reason why you want it is one of the biggest indicators of if you can create it or not. Millions of people are single and wanting to be in a relationship. The ones that find themselves in amazing, fulfilling juicy relationships are clear that they want a partner to build, grow, have fun with and love deeply. I have a plethora of fantastic friends who are single and want to be in a relationship because they feel like they should be, that something is wrong with them because they are not in one, or that dating is hard. If you want something because you don’t have it and the absence of it triggers scarcity, you can’t have it. If you want something because it will be fun, exciting and invigorating, the Universe will bring it to you because you’re coming from abundance. Dig around and use your journal to get clear on what you want and why you want it. Discover the feeling you’ve attached to what you want, that will be the anchor you will use to draw it in. For example, if I want more money in my bank account because I think I’ll feel more secure, I get to practice feeling more secure all the time. If I want a new car because I think I’ll feel more successful, I’ll manifest it quicker by focusing in on what success feels like. Most people want things for 3 specific reasons, they want more security,
Focus and Act as If Have you seen the TV Show “Fringe”? A sci-fi show and the main premise is that there are two parallel Earths, and due to tiny changes the characters have completely different lives on each planet. Once you’ve decided what you want, you have to convince yourself that it is done. You have now moved into a new version of Earth where what you desire is your life and it feels natural. This might mean you have to ignore parts of your life that don’t live up to your new reality, not react to them, or actively focus on the things that are working. The level of clear, confident focus you give to your new life will be one of the factors that determine how quickly it comes to you. The next step is to pair your imagination with your feelings. By using your imagination, you create scenarios that train your sub- and super conscious mind into believing what you want is possible, and by super charging them with feelings, you convince your brain and the universe that it’s real.
Embody It,
Focus on Having It
& Allow It
“Heaven on Earth is a choice you must make, not a place you must find.” - Wayne Dyer
The adages ‘dress for the job you want,’ or ‘fake it til you make it,” are popular and they hold a powerful nugget of truth. By enveloping yourself in the persona of who you will be once you create what you’re asking for will cause it to manifest quicker. This doesn’t mean you need to run out and spend hundreds of dollars on new stuff, you are going to let this new change affect who you are physically, mentally, spritually and emotionally. Check in with yourself when you imagine what this version of you feels like. Do you stand taller? Do you speak with more confidence? How does your gut feel? How do you feel when making decisions? Are you more grounded? When practicing with the feeling of success, I felt a mixture of joy, courage, excitement, pride and play. I sat differently, drove my car differently, spoke from a place of authority and felt like, people saw me as an expert in my field. It not only felt great, over a two week period I made more money and closed more deals then I had the last 6 months. People sought me out, I got referrals and business deals came together super easily. Sometimes when feeling unsure I ask myself, “What would successful me do?” and I get the insight and confidence to make the next step. Your decision making changes when you come from lack vs. abundance and in practicing making decisions from the place of it already happening, it makes it even more concrete. Writing out having what you want causes you to have the most concentrated form of focus. There are various ways of doing this such as; • Creating a scene of what your life experience is now that you have drawn in your object of attention. • Reflecting on how you feel now you have created XYZ and how your life has changed. • Writing out how the realization of your goal affects others. As you are writing, make sure to anchor yourself in the feeling you want to have when you achieve your goal. Whether it’s happiness, calm, love or clarity, let the feeling wash over you. Starting your journal entry with your intended feeling, ie, “I Am so proud of myself !”, “I Am so excited because...”, “ I Am feeling so much bliss.” sets the tone for the rest of the scene you are writing. The more you practice, the more natural having what you want feels. If the thing you want feels unreachable, hard or unachievable, your disbelief will block it every time. In practicing what your completed outcome will feel like, you allow it become attainable, easy and the next natural step. Many times you’ll see athletes interviewed as they have broke a record or won a competition and when asked, “How do you feel?” they often share that it’s just what they’ve practiced. They’ve made winning easy by making it feel natural.
Another adage that is super relevant when it comes to manifesting is, “From your lips to God’s ears.’ No matter what beliefs you have around religion, what you say is a way of focusing your manifesting power. Complaining, justifying why you don’t have something or being negative keeps what you want farther away from you and it actually attracts more of what you don’t want. Notice next time you speak negatively about something how it feels. Does it feel like you’re growing or shrinking? Do you feel closer to what you want or farther away? Even if you’re experiencing something not that great, remind yourself that it’s only temporary and that it is giving you the opportunity to get clearer and feel more determined to create what you’re after. Other ways to practice enveloping yourself in the new you could be; cheering because you’ve paid off your debt, having a nice night on the couch with your new boo because you’ve decided to stay in, or relishing in the new bed of your brand new house, and journaling out a scene in your new life. It could be something as simple as a drive to work, or as complex as you spending the day moving into your new place with your partner. Write it out, and re-read it as if you’ve immersed yourself in a good book. Questions such as, “What does it feel like, what are your surroundings, what temperature is it outside, what are you wearing, is there a smell in the room?” will help you add texture to make it feel more concrete for you. Be mindful with whom you share your new desire with. People that aren’t on the same wavelength as you will project their own limiting beliefs on your new endeavor. When you choose to share with others, choose people that are confident and supportive. Even better, sharing with others that have manifested similar things will help solidify your own belief. The best way to start your manifestation journey is practicing with less specific things and things without an emotional charge. Because you don’t have very many practiced thoughts or resistance about these things, it’s easier for them to show up in your existence. It could be simple things like asking to see an odd colored car, to get a lovely surprise or a sweet treat. When they do show up, and they will, the speed in which they do is a clear indication of how resistant or allowing you were. There are no such things as coincidences, so when you get the manifestation you asked for, make sure to celebrate and praise yourself. You are creating more evidence of your power and the more confidence you gain, the easier it will be to ask for more specific things without resistance and your Inner Critic getting in the way. Now that you’ve asked for it, started playing with it and are living as if it’s done, you get to relax into it! The allowing can be the trickiest part for those that are used to making things happen. The process of letting go of expectations, timelines and trusting that it is on its way is one of the new habits you get to practice. To help the process along, the best thing you can do is distract yourself from what you’re letting go and savoring your current life. Similar to appreciating a car or home right before you sell it, you can be satisfied with where you are and be open and ready for more. Keep your manifestation valves wide open by doing the practices below. Through this process, you are changing habits you have had for the majority of your life, so be kind to yourself as you are learning this new way of life. You may have doubts or fears pop up, that’s only natural. When you notice yourself experiencing negative emotion or swirling in a bevy of fear or doubt, that is the indicator that you’ve gone off course. No need to worry, take a moment to shake it off and refocus yourself on what you are creating.
Practices to Add: Mediate - Find a meditation practice that helps you feel at peace. This may be chanting, silent or guided, and feel free to experiment with apps, videos on YouTube and meditation events until you find what works for you. In practicing meditation, you begin to detach from the intensity of your day to day life and the concerns that are keeping you from letting your magic flow. Nighttime intentions - Your brain is super impressionable in your last 30 minutes before sleep. Practice immersing yourself in the experience of receiving the things that you want. Use your imagination, write it out and enjoy the feeling of it occurring. Let the feeling of what you want soothe you to sleep and the Universe will get to work in creating it while you slumber. Mindful breathing - Taking moments to practice deep breathing throughout the day reminds your body that everything is all good. Connect with nature - Take a couple minutes to look at the sky, touch leaves, trees and flower petals, go to the beach, play with an animal or stand in the grass. Studies have shown that connecting with nature boosts happiness, lowers stress, and increases your ability to trust. Appreciation - Write daily lists of appreciation. Practicing appreciation lowers stress levels, increases happiness, and tunes you to receiving more of what you appreciate. If you get the urge to give someone a compliment or share why you appreciate them, do it! It’s super beneficial for you and for them! Notice the good - Before heading off to bed, think about good things that happened to you. Oftentimes, we’re so busy focused on what’s not working, we over look what actually is. From seeing an adorable dog to finding a quarter, this is all evidence that you are being taken care of.
