What is MANIFESTING?

What is Manifesting?

I’d say I’m pretty good at manifesting different things in my life.

I’ve manifested some truly incredible/crazy things since understanding how this mindset science works – a few of the really fun things being: a free weekend and night under the stars at Lion Sands Luxury Game Reserve, an all expenses paid trip to see the Northern lights and being on the Ellen Show. (yes, Really.)

But what is manifesting?

Manifesting is about CREATING something from a thought form into something that is tangible or easily perceived by the senses. Manifesting is happening regardless of whether or not you are aware of the principles at play so it is either INTENTIONALLY creating what you want or unintentionally creating what you want/don’t want. A large part of it comes down to your thoughts and feelings.

The thing with intentional manifestation is that it requires a few different things to make it work and these are the exact steps and processes that I use:

Clarity.
Emotional Charge.
Embodiment.
Rehearsal.
Releasing Resistance.
Allowing.

Those 6 practical steps are exactly the steps I use to manifest things for myself.

I wanted to share the story of how I manifested a key ring for myself.

A little while ago, I decided to set myself the task of manifesting a keyring. I was very specific in my head about this key ring – that it would be “very quirky”. One of the steps to manifesting is about speaking this desire/want out loud to the world – so, for fun, I shared my intention on my instagram page.

Then I sat back and thought to myself:

My thought process went as follows:

“I’ve spoken my want out loud > someone on instagram will see my message > someone on instagram will have a random quirky keyring at home > that person on instagram will send me the keyring in the post > my quirky key ring will manifest in my post box.”

Every day for a week or so, I got myself so worked up in excitement over the post man arriving each day with a keyring in the letterbox.

But here is the kicker –

Manifesting and the law of attraction does not work this way.
“Smug” Manifestation as I like to call it – does not work.

Smug manifestation assumes that you know exactly HOW the thing will arrive with you. As with my case above – I had literally thought through and “planned” all the exact steps – the “HOW”.

There is a big piece on RELEASING the HOW and detaching yourself from the outcome of it all.

So that is what I did.

I still had the clear intention of receiving my quirky keyring, but I realised that I had attached myself too tightly to the HOW it would show up.

Before long, literally like magic – I had received not only one, but THREE quirky key-rings into my life in ways that I definitely could not have expected:

That is the thing with manifestation – you know you’ve accessed something bigger than yourself when the physical manifestation of the “stuff” arrives with you in ways that you could not have expected at all.

Flowing with this manifestation journey truly makes like FUN!

And there is actually such a great Albert Einstein quote that to me just sums up manifesting in such a succinct and delightful way:
