MANIFESTATION
Manifestation (materialization) is the process of bringing your ideas, concepts, and dreams from your inner, mental world into your outer, physical world where you can experience them with your physical senses.
We manifest things naturally and automatically all the time, using our thoughts and feelings to create our experience. Everything around us was a thought in someone’s mind before it existed in our reality. Cars, roads, buildings, and cities all existed as thoughts before they became physical realities.
Begin to observe how you create small, simple things. When you think of something you are fairly certain of receiving, you have mental pictures; you can “see” YOURSELF HAVING it and you don’t worry about getting it. You want it, intend to have it, and are motivated to do what is necessary to bring it into your life.
Start developing your manifesting skills with things that are easy for you to create. As you gain confidence in your ability to create, you will be ready to manifest in bigger ways. There is no limit to what you can create. Anything is possible. Through working with your thoughts, feelings, and intentions, you can create whatever you want.
Getting money and things is not as important as mastering the process of creating them. Once you master the process, your ability to be prosperous will not be determined by the economy or outside conditions, for you will be able to create whatever you want. As you master the process, you will be able to use money and other things you create as tools for expanding your consciousness and helping you express yourself more fully.
Because your thoughts determine what you draw to yourself, it is important to think about what you want rather than what you don’t want. You won’t get what you want by thinking (or fearing) of its opposite. For instance, having money does not come from thinking about poverty. Whatever you focus on is what you get, for energy follows thought.
Don’t feel bad about negative thoughts you have, for fearing or disliking your negative thoughts gives them more power; simply place a positive thought alongside it. If, for instance, you catch yourself saying “I don’t have enough money,” simply say “I’m in a process of creating an abundance of money.” Positive thoughts are more powerful than negative thoughts. One positive thought can cancel out hundreds of negative ones.
Some of your negative thoughts may come from being around people whose fears and doubts amplify your own. For instance, you may feel fine about your finances, but after you talk to a friend who is struggling and fearful about money, you start worrying about your own financial future.
If you notice this happening, realize that you have been influenced by someone else’s thoughts, and remind yourself that you live in an abundant world. Your challenge is to keep your thoughts about your economic future positive and not be affected by what other people are thinking or saying. You are the source of your abundance, and you can have a wonderful and abundant life regardless of the economy or other outside conditions.
There is great power in REPEATING the thought of something you want over and over. Repetition firmly implants the idea of what you want to create in your subconscious mind, and it goes about bringing you what you think about.
If you can’t believe that something is possible, then you aren’t going to have it. But if you can have a thought that it might be possible, you are already on the way to creating it. You cannot create something if you CANNOT IMAGINE HAVING it.
IMAGINE YOURSELF HAVING everything you want – a satisfying career, money, a wonderful relationship. See how you would be a benefit to those around you. Imagine what it would be like if everyone you knew had money, and their lives were working. There is abundance in the universe for everyone. As you enlarge your thinking to include others, imagining abundance for everyone, you will open up even more ways for abundance to come to you.
The emotions behind your thoughts determine the speed at which you manifest. The stronger your emotions are, the more rapidly you create what you are thinking about. If you truly want something, it will come much more rapidly than if you are lukewarm about wanting it. Generate EXCITEMENT (ENTHUSIASM) about having what you want. Think of it frequently and with intensity, and also be willing to detach and let it come in whatever way is best. Trust that you will receive whatever is perfect for you to have. You cannot force something to happen that is not in the best interests of all concerned.
Your imagination is your most powerful creating tool. Drawing the objects, money, and people you want into your life is easier when you work with imagination before you take action. A few minutes of mind work done with a sense of CLARITY about what you want create greater results than hours of hard work.
You are sending out energy all the time which may be attracting or repelling things you want.
There are some basic principles to becoming more magnetic to what you want.
- It is best if you know how what you are asking for will be a tool for whatever high quality you want to express more frequently in your life. As you think of something you want, think of the quality you want to radiate.
- Be CLEAR about the essence or features of what you want as well as the specific form (or a symbol of what you want).
- Believe that what you are asking for is possible to have.
- It is important not to “need” what you want but rather to have a certain detachment about it. Let it be all right if it doesn’t come, or if it comes in a different form then what you expect. After you have asked for something, surrender to whatever comes as the appropriate.
Before you attract something that has much larger energy than what you have now, learn to harmonize with its energy. For instance, if you want a sum of money that is much larger than what you have now, you will want to be ready for it, know in advance how you are going to store it, what you will use it for, and how it will help your life.
You will want to IMAGINE HOW YOU WILL FEEL when you have it and resolve any concerns you may have about receiving it. IMAGINE THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE IT and look at how your life is different because of it. You can harmonize and become familiar with things before you have them; as you do you will become more magnetic to having them.
One way to harmonize with something that is much larger than you have now is to expand what you have asked for. Continue trying out increasingly larger sums of money. You will notice that as the amount increases, the way you feel and think changes. Some amounts may feel comfortable, but higher sums may feel uncomfortable. As you try larger sums, you may find that a smaller sum that initially felt uncomfortable becomes more comfortable. The more you feel comfortable with money or anything at an energy level, the more easily it will come to you. Observe closely how your thoughts about yourself might change, how your feelings and your lifestyle would be different. Doing this should draw out any hidden fears, such as, “Having this might mean too much responsibility”, or “I’ll have to worry more about taxes and accountants”, “People will want my money,” and so on. As you deal with these doubts and worries, you become more magnetic to what you want.
MAGNETIZING EXERCISE
Find the time and place where you can relax and think without interruption for a few minutes.
- Pick something you want. This can be a specific object, a specific amount of money, the essence of what you want, or a person. Get as specific as you can about the details. It is important that you believe it is POSSIBLE to have it, and INTEND TO HAVE it. Be as specific as you can about the HIGHER QUALITY it will give you, and IMAGINE THIS QUALITY as you magnetize.
- Visualize or sense what you want, MAKING THE PICTURE AS REAL AS POSSIBLE. Create a scene in which you IMAGINE YOURSELF HAVING IT, LIVING OUT GOOD FEELINGS you will have as you get it. Think about the person you want to magnetize. Think about all the qualities this ideal person would have. Create a scene in which you imagine yourself interacting with this person, or imagine the good feelings you will have about this person.
- Imagine that you have the Power Source within you that generates magnetic energy. As you do this you are beginning to generate a magnetic field around you, magnetizing what you want to you, much as a magnet draws iron to it. As you draw what you want to you, IMAGINE IT COMING. Let go of any neediness. Detach and surrender to having the best person come. Know that you cannot force anyone to do anything against his or her will, and that you can attract someone to you only if it is for the higher good of both of you. Imagine that you are connecting with this ideal person’s soul, mentally appreciating the person for all the good he or she will bring into your life. Tell this person mentally how you will bring good into his or her life as well. Ask that the highest good be created for both of you in your connection.
- Magnetize as long as it feels good. As you put energy out, add love to the energy. The more love you send, the more magnetic you become. Continue generating your magnetic energy until you reach a point at which you suddenly feel CERTAINTY (INNER KNOWING) that you will get what you are magnetizing. Stop magnetizing when you feel this certainty. If it becomes a struggle or strain, stop.
- Now go within and ask your higher self how often to magnetize what you have asked for.
- Come gently out of this state and stretch your body. Over the next several days notice if you have any insights about the object of your desire and how you might get it.
Keep doing this exercise until you are able to sense the energy you are sending out. When you feel comfortable with magnetizing a small object, use this exercise for magnetizing something that is a greater challenge for you. Remember to hold positive thoughts about what you request and to have a certain detachment about receiving it. Let it be all right if it comes in a different form then what you expect; surrender to having whatever comes as being appropriate for you to have.
Remember that the people you draw to you will be your mirrors. You may notice a pattern in the people you attract. For example, if you often attract people who don’t treat you with respect, you may not be treating yourself with respect, and they may only be mirroring your pattern back to you. Change the pattern within yourself, and you will draw to you the person you want.
