Don't: Expect exactly what you want to just drop in your lap
This could be the most widely held misunderstanding. There's a popular belief that all you have to do is construct a vision board and write a thousand affirmations in your diary, and the exact item you want will materialize in front of you.
Affirmations and vision boards are beneficial because they provide clarity. I adore them both! However, we can be seduced into believing that we know best. We become emotionally invested in a specific conclusion or expect things to unfold in a precise order.
We cut off Universal guidance and move into manic manifesting when we do this.
Do: Trust that the Universe has a plan better than yours
It's not about having total control or achieving all of our short-term goals when it comes to manifesting. Getting what we believe we desire isn't really the point of true manifesting. It's all about receiving what's best for everyone.
You will have experiences where you will attract precisely what you desire. The idea isn't to control outcomes and get exactly what you want. Keep in mind that your plan may not always be the best one.
If all of your meditations and affirmations are focused on getting a promotion at work, for example, you may be completely blocking a far greater chance at a different company!
In this video, I discuss how, when it came to having a kid, I surrendered to a bigger purpose…
There is a bigger plan than yours. When you surrender to the skill of manifesting, you can trust that spirit will lead you in the direction of your wishes and much more.
A prayer to let go and trust
From my new book, Super Attractor, here's a short prayer to help you sacrifice your desires and exercise patience:
“Thank you, Universe and highest truth and compassion guides. I'm eager to be liberated. “I am grateful for a newfound faith.”
Say the prayer aloud and allow yourself to sink into the feelings of surrendering to faith in the Universe.
If you encounter any opposition, acknowledge it and return to this prayer. You may repeat it as many times as you like. It's a plea for assistance. You're surrendering your ideas and making room for the Universe's energy to assist you in ways you can't imagine.
Don't: Try to “make it happen
For many of us, trying to control and compel things to happen is a deeply entrenched tendency.
You may have done some amazing work to release this cycle if you're on a spiritual journey. The ego's demand for control, on the other hand, is deceptive, and we might fall back into this cycle without even realizing it.
Even if you don't consider yourself a control freak (which, to be honest, I do), we all try to exert control in some way. If you want to:
Remember that the Universe has a much better plan than we do. By following that counsel, you can stop controlling and start receiving.
Do: Practice the Spiritually Aligned Action Method
Because manifesting is a cooperation between you and the Universe, it's also known as co-creating. I teach an approach in Super Attractor that I intuitively devised and used in my own life. The Spiritually Aligned Action Method is what it's called.
When we take spiritually aligned action, we can believe that an energy greater than our own is working on our side and that all will work out in the end – even if we don't know when or how it will.
Step 1 of the Spiritually Aligned Action Method
Simply practicing step 1 is a game changer. To prepare for the entire method in Super Attractor, try this drill!
When your passion is united with service and inspiration, it becomes unstoppable.
“How do I know if my goal is backed by service and inspiration?” you might wonder.
“What if what I really want isn't to change the world?” What if I'm looking for love or trying to get out of debt? What does it mean to be of service to others?”
If your ambition fills you with genuine excitement, it's backed by inspiration! Spirit will back you up as long as you yield to the highest good for all.
You must, however, comprehend why you desire something and the energy that drives it. If you want a new career so that your family will approve of you, or if you want a relationship because you feel lonely, your desire is most likely fueled by need and fear.
Here's how to get rid of the energy that's fueling your desire: “Does this desire help me feel motivated and serve others?” ask yourself.
Write in your journal on how your desire makes you feel on the inside. Write about how your good energy and inspiration helps others. You can trust that aligning your energy with service and inspiration will move your goal forward.
Finally, allow yourself to cultivate joy, inspiration, and a strong sense of contribution. Allow yourself to rejoice about your desires!
In this video, I explain what it means to act in a spiritually aligned manner:
Don't: Save your manifesting practices for one special time and place
Many people believe that manifestation takes place exclusively in their Zen den, on their meditation pillow, with all of their crystals lined up and a candle lighted. They spend some time in that space meditating, journaling, and doing anything else they need to feel good and connect with spirit.
…
Then they wake up, go about their daily lives, and abandon their spiritual activities.
You're choking off the flow of inspiration when you compartmentalize your spiritual activities like way.
We don't just get inspired on a retreat, in a yoga class, or during a religious ceremony. When we put it in a box and keep it isolated from the rest of our lives, we are doing ourselves a big disservice.
Do: Make manifesting part of your daily life
Manifestation is something we perform on a regular basis. In truth, we're always generating and attracting – it's just that we do it unconsciously most of the time.
Instead of reserving your manifesting techniques for “special” occasions, incorporate them into your daily routine.
- Commit to doing some form of meditation every morning, even if it's just sitting in silence for a few minutes and tuned in to your breath.
- And when you do enter your Zen den, remember to develop the feeling you desire!
How many times should you say a manifestation?
“I think it's incredibly crucial to write down your desires because they're so obvious,” Potter adds. If writing isn't your thing, Potter suggests stating your manifestation out loud three times in the morning, six times in the afternoon, and nine times at night to practice this strategy.
Why is manifesting a sin?
If you're trying to materialize something great, like a new home, a romance, or a new job, manifesting isn't a sin.
If you strive to generate something negative that will harm someone else, however, you are committing a sin.
Even if you aren't religious, you should never strive to generate something negative since it will “bite” you in the end.
You will always get back what you put into the world, so if you want to be a better person and have more positive things in your life, don't try to create anything negative.
Is it OK to manifest a specific person?
Is it possible to manifest a certain person? Yes! Using the Law of Attraction, you can materialize ANYTHING. But in this essay and video, I'd like to discuss why you shouldn't manifest a specific individual. It's because I believe you can achieve even better outcomes by manifesting your soulmate in a different way! Of course, this is just my view, and if you truly desire someone in particular, I say go for it!
How do you do the 3 6 9 manifestation method?
Writing down what you want to materialize three times in the morning, six times during the day, and nine times in the evening is part of the 369 method.
This method gained traction on TikTok (of course), with videos using the hashtag “369method” accumulating over 165 million views. It's not difficult to discover people on the app who claim the approach has helped them manifest new relationships, significant sums of money, and other things.
Nikola Tesla, a renowned inventor, was the first to believe that the numbers three, six, and nine were potent numbers for manifesting in the twentieth century. “He believed these sacred numbers were the key to opening the universe,” spiritual adviser Diana Zalucky tells mbg.
Aside from the numbers, the 369 practice follows the law of attraction, which holds that we attract what we focus on.
Shauna Cummins, a hypnotist and author of Wishcraft, adds that focusing on what you want, especially on a regular basis, may help your brain “discover what it's looking for, and thus more likely to magnetize your desires into action.”
Can I manifest beauty?
If you're looking for a unique “Obviously, positive thinking will not transform your physical appearance,” says Dr. Julia Coakes, a clinical psychologist consultant. If you're looking for a unique “It's simply not doable.” Furthermore, over-gassing yourself in the name of manifestation may have the opposite consequence.
What the Bible says about manifesting?
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will lead you in the right path. 3:5 (Proverbs)
When we manifest, we are putting more trust in our own thinking rather than seeking God's Will for our predicament.
However, Proverbs 3:5 tells us that we should put our faith in God rather than our own understanding.
He loves us and wants the best for us, so we should entrust our dreams and goals to Him and ask for His assistance in realizing them.
Is manifesting a bad thing?
No, that is not the case. Manifesting isn't harmful to you, your faith, or God. You have been manifesting your entire life, whether you realize it or not. Manifesting simply entails obtaining the energy of what you wish to experience and then being, living, and believing in it.
What does God say about affirmations?
While Christians should be cautious of human-centered affirmations, I believe that using Biblically-based affirmations can help you focus on God and His work in your life.
Affirmations in the Bible
The use of Scripture to take our ideas captive to obey Christ is known as biblical affirmation (2 Corinthians 10:5). This entails turning the enemy's lies, Satan's lies, around and replacing them with the truth of God's Word.
How do you tell if someone is manifesting me?
A sudden shift in behavior is one of the most telling signals that someone is manifesting you.
Taking inspired action is a vital element in manifesting, as I discussed in my 5 Step Spiritual Manifestation Method.
When someone is actively manifesting you into their life, they will take steps to make their vision a practical reality.
Talking to you, texting you, or wanting to meet up in person are examples of these acts.
