The Manifestation Collaboration
What is Manifestation?
We have all heard this word before and most likely know what it means, but what about knowing how to use it to our advantage?
We all have things we need, want or desire – but are we being true to ourselves in the process? It’s up to us to steer our own ships and to direct our life and the energies of the universe to where we would like them to go. It takes a lot of courage and honesty to see our desires manifest, but it also requires us to “stay out of our own way.” Allow me to delve deeper:
Getting what you want is a team approach between you and the Universe (or God, Spirit, Source, energy, nature – whatever your label is). Our part as humans is to focus on the following ideals:
The “What’s” →
- What is it that I really want?
- What are the feelings this is going to bring me?
- What is the end result going to be like?
- What exactly will I experience when this happens?
The “Why's” →
- Why do I want this?
- Why am I so determined to have this?
- Why do I deserve this?
The “Who’s” →
- Who will be there to witness and enjoy this with me?
- Who will be there supporting me and this desire?
- Who in my life would like to see this happen?
The part that the Universe is responsible for is the
how’s and the
when’s.
That’s it.
There is no need to worry about how you are going to get what you want or how you are possibly going to afford it, or when it is going to happen since this is not your part in the arrangement. You see, if we fail to stick to our piece of the bargain, this whole team approach to manifestation just won’t work as efficiently. The Universe will always do its part, but we have to allow it to do its part. We stay out of the way by focusing on our role and letting the universe focus on its role.
Surrender And Trust In The Wisdom Of The Universe
You may be saying to yourself,
“Why hasn't my desire come yet?” The best advice is to go back to the drawing board: Are you truly making a happy ending for yourself? Are you fully seeing the finished product? Is there enough detail in the outcome and images you are giving to describe your story? Or is it perhaps that you are paying more attention to the Universe's task at hand, and not your own? Ask yourself:
Why am I focusing on the Universe’s job, the Universe’s part? Why am I not trusting that things are working out as intended?
Let the Universe handle its part! Have faith and believe that even though what you want may not be happening as quickly as you want it, that what you desire is still manifesting. Trust that what you are asking is not far-fetched if it’s what you truly want; that things take time, patience and sometimes seasons – especially the good, rewarding things that are worth waiting for!
So if your desire is taking longer than normal, take the time and make it the reason to go back to focusing on your side of the deal with a bit more effort: take inventory, make lists, dream more descriptively, set clearer intentions, get hungrier, want more, reach higher, focus better, desire stronger, imagine more vividly and concentrate intently – after all, this is the far better and more exciting part of the deal anyway, am I right?
Manifesting Exercise
Here is a great exercise to help you manifest a dream by setting it and forgetting it.
- Relax: Ground yourself by sitting in a chair or on the floor.
- Visualize: Close your eyes and imagine a giant 3D rose about 18 inches in front of your heart. Allow it to move around so you can see that it actually is three-dimensional. Take in this rose completely: the color, the shape, etc.
- Desire: Now place one desire you wish to manifest inside this rose — you may have to stretch the rose a bit depending on the size of your desire. Fit your desire nice and deep in the rose’s petals.
- Release Negativity: Then imagine two corks sticking out, one on the left side of the rose, one on the right:
- Now focus on the right side – Pull the cork out and watch all the fears, doubts, negativity and insecurities that inhibit you from this goal flood out of this side of the rose and dissipate into thin air. Cork the right side of the rose back up when you have finished.
- Now go to the left side and focus there – Pull the cork out and watch all the limitations, self-sabotage and other people’s energies about this desire ooze out of the left side of the rose and dissolving into thin air. Make sure it completely empties and completely dissolves. Cork the left side of the rose back up when done.
- Now imagine huge shears (scissors, a knife, whatever comes to mind) – Cut the stem of the rose and allow it to float up to the sky and into space getting smaller and smaller from your focus. Trust that the universe is taking care of it now. You don’t have to worry about it anymore, because it is in good hands and manifesting itself to you all in good time.
- Refresh: Sit a few moments and notice what it feels like to let go and trust that your desire is coming true. When you are ready, open your eyes and move and stretch the body to help bring you back to center. Do this exercise whenever you wish for or desire something.
