Manifestation has become ‘sexy’ these days. Almost every other influencer on Instagram talks about Manifestation and what you can do to manifest the life of your dreams. Don’t get me wrong – it’s one of the nicer trends. But like every trend – there’s a lot of information out there and no way of knowing what works and what does not. But more than that, when it is advertised as so simple, and easy to do – oftentimes one ends up wondering Where is my manifestation.
You might be thinking, I am making vision boards, I am meditating, I am staying open and surrendering but my manifestation is not showing up. Why is that so? Where is my manifestation?
I invite you to look at some of the questions below to investigate. By investigate of course, I mean find silence, move your body and get quiet internally for a few minutes. Once you are able to meditate for a few minutes, see what comes through for the following questions. Free write in your journal.
- Are you taking an aligned action?
Are you taking any action towards your dream manifestation? For example, if you are trying to manifest a lean body, are you working out, or taking a class or evaluating your nutritional choices?
- Are you pursuing your joy or any other positive emotion?
When you think of the ‘thing’ you are trying to manifest, does it bring you joy, happiness, service, inner satisfaction, etc. In your current life, are you trying to live with more joy, ease, abundance, etc.
- Are you already feeling what your desired action will bring you?
Most of what we desire in material life is because it will evoke an emotion. Manifestation works when you feel that emotion in your body TODAY before you have that material thing. Evoke that emotion in your body by imagining that the thing you want already exists in your life (the brain does not know the difference between the real object and imaginary object).
- Are you pursuing it for your egoic satisfaction?
When you think about the reality you are trying to create – is that to impress other people. Is this satisfying your ego, do you want this so that it will make you look cool, make you more likeable, make you more rich, etc.
- Are you surrendering?
Are you trying to control the outcome? Some examples: I must have a promotion by the end of this year so I can do XYZ, I should find a boyfriend by next month so that I can get married in 2 years, etc. The Universe does not respond to control, it responds only when you let go and let it reveal to you when is the best time for your manifestation to become a reality.
- Is this a sign?
If you are still doing all the things but what your wish is not happening or showing up – for example, you want to marry your boyfriend but he doesn’t commit, you want a promotion at your job, but your boss doesn’t see your value. Take some time to introspect or meditate if that is a sign for you – maybe the Universe is trying to show that what you want is not good for you. Maybe that’s not the person or job you are meant to stick with.
What do you think? Did that resonate with you? I would love to know your thoughts, please feel free to add a comment or reach out to me to discuss.
Love+light,
