How to Manifest in Your Life

Much has been written about manifestation and the so called "Law of Attraction", but I will start by sharing some of the best info that I have found on the topic beginning some thoughts about love and fear. As Alana Fairchild writes on Peace and Prosperity in her Angelic Lightwork; “Healing fear requires love.  Fear might relate to financial security, abandonment, hurt, or losing a loved one, cherished treasure or rare opportunity.  To the insecure and uncertain part of us, fear might seem like the most sensible response, as though it will protect us... It closes us off and prevents us from remaining open to the abundance and generosity of the universe..."  At times, we need to decide whether we will give in to fear, cease our efforts, and put off our growth to another day.  This is always our choice to make.  Instead, we can move into the realm of the heart, choose to remain open, ask for clarity and choose the more challenging risk of becoming more fully alive.  Your commitment to your aliveness will manifest what is best for you. Many gifts lie unopened on the path ahead. Be appreciative for your trials as they are a catalyst for your growth and creativity. Everything you enjoy in your life and world was once an idea or thought in someone’s head.

If you are open, here are some of the more notable messages I have found helpful on the topic of Manifestation. As we head into tumultuous times in this pivotal year, these guidelines can help you start to create the life you want to be living. We will start with Bashar, as he has become one of the more influential voices I have been consuming on the topic.

Bashar, is a dynamic multidimensional entity channeled by writer and film director Darryl Anka. That may surprise you, but his messages are filled with wisdom. He is an amazing channeling talent, and if you have any doubts about his authenticity & ability, I suggest you listen to the message in his many lectures and seminars, YouTube clips and podcasts, and see if Bashar’s words resonate with you, because I have a feeling they will. I personally find it tremendously authentic, and through synchronicity is how our podcast, Brave Journey Within was created, which I share in the latest episode here.

Bashar’s Formula-

1.) Act on your excitement, your passion, whatever is most exciting to you, in the moment. Do this every moment that you can.

2.) Do this to the best of your ability. Take it as far as you can go until you cannot take it any further.

3.) Act on your excitement/passion with absolutely no insistence, assumption, or expectation of what the outcome should be.

4.) Choose to remain in a positive state regardless of what happens.

5.) Constantly investigate your belief systems. Release & replace the un-preferred beliefs: fear-based beliefs, and the beliefs not in alignment with who you prefer to be.

Some thoughts on the formula. When you sit in silence, pray, and meditate, ask yourself what you would enjoy to do when you wake up in the morning, especially if you dread going to work. What would you rather be doing? Then, you have to take some kind of action towards whatever it is that you want to do. It does not have to be perfect, but give it a shot as best you can, this will start opening things up for you, but you have to try, a key ingredient is effort. Don’t lock yourself in to the outcome or expectations. That is not to say that you shouldn’t dream of any possibility, for ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. If I want to be a successful movie director and I have that image in my head, then that is perfectly fine, but focus on the moment and the next step towards fulfilling that dream. If you are not familiar with the incredible story about how Sylvester Stallone wrote Rocky and came to star in the movie then it is the perfect example, that I will very briefly describe. He wrote the movie script for “Rocky”, and a studio offered him more money than he could dream of, where most people would simply say yes and take the money. However, Stallone’s dream was to be an actor, and he couldn’t act if he simply sold the script. So instead of taking $325,000 like he was offered he took a substantially smaller sum of $35,000 and the risk if the movie flopped, he would take the loss, but he got the opportunity to act and star in the movie. It made over $200 million. The point being it was more successful than he could have ever imagine, so when you focus on an outcome you potentially limit the success. The last rule of the formula is very important, and one I think we can all struggle with. Be appreciate of your trials and tribulations, for when you are in a more positive vibratory state more can come to you.

 Neal Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God, An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1 (1996).

BE, DO, HAVE PARADIGM.

Start where you want to end up. Be loving, Be happy, Be secure. Choose with intention how you want to BE. Before you walk into any moment decide to be happy, secure, and loving, then you will say, think, and do things that are happy, secure, and loving.

Walsch views the Secret, or the Law of Attraction as “sand-box metaphysics,” seeing how the book/movie focuses on the material, instead of things that actually matter in terms of higher themes such as World Peace, Love, and Safety on our planet. He says this tongue in cheek as he was in the actual movie, and focused on manifesting material things for years like so many of us. The allure of our dream houses, cars, and romantic partners that emanates from our imagination.

Now Walsch would say that if you focus on being those qualities in your life, then the rest will take care of itself in a way. The outer world being a reflection of your inner world.

“Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things will be added unto you.” – Matthew 6:33

My own interpretation being if you bring in the Kingdom of Heaven into your heart in the here and now then all other things will manifest in a state of surrender and flow. There is more to unpack with that but essentially when you are in alignment with every fiber in your being then your success if assured. 

Walsch is an peppery teacher, obviously he says some things that will challenge your belief systems, but that is what makes him interesting. One thing he talks about is the Platinum Rule, which is “Do unto others what they would have you do unto them.” Something to contemplate as you ponder these aspects of being.

Also, “nothing that is human lacks dignity, only the way in which you hold it and do it.” N.D.W.

 Dr. Joe Dispenza, New York Times best-selling author, researcher of epigenetics, quantum physics & neuroscience.

Dispenza’s formula for creating the life you want to live has to do in part with creating heart coherence. When you achieve this state through meditation your vibrational field and resonance starts to heal yourself and interact with the quantum field. There is a great deal of science and research behind his claims that you can look up  but I will share the formula here. In very simple terms:

When you Create a CLEAR INTENTION + ELEVATED EMOTIONS = A NEW ENERGY.

So for example, a better job with a greater salary might be match with the emotion of feeling empowered. When you have written this down and sit in a meditation and truly feel into that intention, it creates a new energy, interacting with the quantum field that brings in the new job into your being. Thus, you begin to magnetize yourself to the opportunities you are seeking. One way this resonates with me is what Dr. Joseph Murphy said in the Power of your Subconscious Mind (1963), … “remember always, what you are seeking is also seeking you.”

Dr. Joseph Murphy was a new thought minister known widely for his affirmative thinking philosophy.

According to Dr. Murphy, the best time to impregnate your subconscious mind is prior to sleep. Ideas worth remembering... The feeling of health produces health, the feeling of wealth produces wealth, how do you feel? You avoid conflict between your conscious and subconscious mind and the sleepy state. Imagine the fulfillment of your desire over and over again prior to sleep. Sleep in peace and wake in joy.

It was never intended that you should lead a life of indigence. You can have wealth, everything you need, and plenty to spare. Your words have the power to cleanse your mind of wrong ideas and to instill right ideas in their place. This process of transforming self-defeating core beliefs.

Some key points-

1.) Deposit thoughts of prosperity, wealth, and success in your subconscious mind, and the latter will give you compound interest.

2.) Your true source of wealth consists of the ideas in your mind. You can have an idea worth millions of dollars. Your subconscious mind will give you the idea you seek. (This idea speaks to our innate ability to create infinite possibilities in our lives).

3.) Envy and jealousy are stumbling blocks to the flow of wealth rejoice in the prosperity of others.

4.) The block to wealth is in your own mind destroy that block now by getting on good mental terms with everyone.

Dr. Murphy’s Affirmation: “By day and by night, I am being prospered in all of my interests.”

 Julie Poole, Bsc; SQHP a hypnotherapist and author of From Hoping to Having: the ‘3 Rs’ to Create Your Best Life- Remember, Reset, Receive (2022). Her book is wonderful, she has a really great personality that comes across in her audio book. She like others scoffs at the utilization of the term “Law of Attraction” as not a law but simply a reality. Thoughts are things. You either feed the bank of love and prosperity, or fear and lack. You choose, so choose wisely. It can be uncomfortable to hear but we create our reality, and are powerful at manifesting, so you can create very negative conditions just like you can create more positive ones. 

1.) Remember- One of the important things to REMEMBER is that you are an individuation of God, as a creation of God (or the Universe). As such you are very powerful, this concept is often described as the Mighty Divine ‘I AM’ Presence. So in order to manifest, one must remember who they are, and by who they are realizing or remembering your I AM presence. So you can call in this presence by saying: “I AM calling upon the divine intelligence within my being to come forward, you allow all the answers to flow to you empowering you into appropriate action.”

2.) Reset- This part involves establishing healthy boundaries. The only approval you need is that of your own. You matter. “I can please others, but not at my detriment. I matter, my needs matter, my desires matter, my opinion matters, my inner calling matters, my path matters my choices matter my heart matters.” Seek your own approval.

3.) Receive- Aspects of this are fairly self-evident but worth mentioning. Kindness to yourself and others is a valuable way of being and helps emotions (energy in motion) flow.

“Energy expands itself, always. What you think about, you bring about. Thoughts become things. Where attention goes energy flows.”

The above passage speaks to where you put your awareness and focus. Focus is a major aspect of completing any project or any goal.

Love and Acceptance are foundational keys as well to get into heart coherence as well. Love yourself, your body, your health. Be grateful.  As Julie Pool concludes her book… “I can, I will, I am…

Say to yourself, and say it often,

I AM ALL THAT I AM

I AM a Divine Spark of Consciousness.

I AM manifesting all of my dreams, my goals, and my desires, easily.

I AM my best version of myself, now.

I AM creating my best life, now!

I AM aligned with all that I desire, now. I am ready now!
