• What is Manifestation, Really?
  • Intro
  • First Part
    • Today I want to talk about one of my favorite topics: manifestation. Manifestation can be so much freakin fun and I feel like I have a totally different way of looking at it than most people. I have never really loved the term manifestation because as someone who does believe in God, and sees good things as gifts from God, the idea that I am alone manifesting things into my life “magically” didn’t sit right with me. However, as I’ve learned more about the process I realized that there’s literally nothing magic about it at all. In truth, manifestation takes a lot of work and effort from the, in quotes, manifestor, and I’ve drawn a lot of similarities between the practice of praying and the practice of manifesting to create my own perfect practice that feels spiritual and lovely to me.

    • There’s this definition on Google that perfectly exemplifies the reason the word manifesting doesn’t sit with me. It’s, “Manifestation refers to various pseudoscientific self-help strategies that can purportedly make an individual’s wishes come true by mentally visualizing them. Manifestation techniques are based on the law of attraction of New Thought spirituality.”
    • I do not believe things just come to us by visualizing them. I do believe visualization is an important piece of the process, but not the beginning and end that gets us what we want. In order to manifest anything into our lives, I believe several things need to be in play and working together, the initial visual of what we want, through writing and/or imagery, meditation to unlock and understand why we truly want that thing and what impact it would have on our lives, journaling to get to the root of the feeling we’d have with that thing or experience, inner child work to uncover any hidden beliefs about ourselves that might be making it hard to manifest the thing, and discovering our true authentic self and how the thing fits into shaping us into the person we are meant to be.
  • Assignment
    • Your assignment today is to think about what you believe about manifestation, your practice of prayer, how you call things into your life, who you call into your life, and just think about the laws of the universe and energy. While energy isn’t something I totally understand, I took a physics class in college that radically changed my understanding of prayer and deepened my respect for God and the energy of the universe creating seemingly kismet opportunities in our lives. I believe true manifestation is not pseudoscience, but truly scientific and something we’re learning more about everyday. Our energy is matched by things around us and in order to expand and grow and align with bigger opportunities, we need to grow and mature ourselves. Manifestation to me is all about speeding up that growth and maturation process. What is it to you? I would love to know on Instagram @lovelydigest, this is such a fascinating topic to me!
