Namaste!
So - another beautiful morning.

And I was just thinking about how we make things happen in our lives, inviting the imagination to dream up some idea and then making it real. Its the nature of my work, always has been. And sometimes its difficult to articulate.
It might just be a faint whiff of an idea, image, feeling in my imagination. But if it stays simply that it becomes no more than a dream, maybe an impossibility even. There are always detractors when you want to create something that doesn't exist yet. And that's about belief and faith. All too easily wonderful and magical ideas can die before they are born because we talk ourselves out of them, tell ourselves that they are fanciful, expose ourselves to the possibility that others think we are just a little bonkers at best, deluded at worst. 
But the truth is that we are all manifesting things in our lives every minute of every day, whether its a decision to go to the cinema, bake a cake, plan a holiday. Without the idea in the first place nothing would ever materialise in the real world! Kinda obvious really. And of course many ideas never see the light of day - especially when they are left-field, out of the ordinary, require money. We are always manifesting. Each thought we have creates an energy flow within and around our physical beings. This energy attracts its likeness. So if you're thinking, "I'm not good enough to achieve this" then your energy - well, isn't good enough -- and you attract less than great experiences.
Manifesting Mishaps
Manifestation has become a buzzword lately. Though it's perhaps great that the law of attraction is now trendy, it also can be a bit misleading for those of us who are unwilling to do the heavy lifting. If you truly want to use your energetic power to manifest greatness, you must clear all that blocks you from believing in your greatness.
Manifestation has become a buzzword lately. Though it's perhaps great that the law of attraction is now trendy, it also can be a bit misleading for those of us who are unwilling to do the heavy lifting. If you truly want to use your energetic power to manifest greatness, you must clear all that blocks you from believing in your greatness.
A Course in Miracles teaches that on some level, you've asked for everything that happens in your life. Your intentions create your reality. There's no need to beat yourself up: Simply recognising how your low-level thoughts negatively affect your life is the first powerful step toward changing your experiences. You can begin your manifesting process by being honest about how your low-level thoughts, energy and feelings of disbelief block you from receiving what you desire. Once you get clear about the blocks, you can begin to clean them up to clear space for positive manifestations to occur.
Many people, when trying to manifest, focus too much on the outside form rather than the internal condition. From A Course in Miracles' perspective, what's important is our internal experience -- whether we choose to experience love or fear. When we commit to our internal experience of love, we begin to attract more love. Many people approach manifestation from a place of "How can I get something to feel better?" Instead, the focus might be: "How can I feel better and therefore be an energetic match for attracting more greatness into my life?" The emphasis must be placed on healing the internal condition, not getting a posh new car or a boyfriend.
The Five Principles for Manifesting Your Desires
Below are my five key principles for genuine manifesting. When practising these steps, make sure to stay committed to the goal of feeling good first and attracting stuff second. Continue to remind yourself that when you feel good, you energetically attract goodness into your life. When your primary function is to be happy, then whatever comes to you is irrelevant. Happiness is your true manifestation.
Principle One: Clear Space
Principle One: Clear Space
Before you begin the manifestation process, you must take the necessary time to release all your disbelief in your power to be happy. One of the best ways to clear the blocks of disbelief is to meditate for release. Begin a daily meditation practice by asking the universe to set you free from all the limiting beliefs that block you from believing in your greatness. Stay open for signs from the universe, and follow through on the assignments that are brought to you. Universal assignments come in many forms. Maybe you're guided to the relationship that brings up all your issues so that you have to finally heal your fear. Or maybe you lose your job so that you can learn the lessons of self-reliance and strengthen your self-love. Trust that these assignments, however tough at times, are incredible opportunities for you to clean your energy and clear space to call in what you desire.
Your job in this step is to to clear all that blocks you from believing in your greatness. Then allow the flow of life to help guide you to whatever assignments you need to aid in the healing process. Be diligent about doing the assignments, and trust that the more you clean your thoughts and energy, the more positive experiences you will attract into your life.
Principle Two: Get Clear
Clarity is king when it comes to manifesting your desires. You must have clear intentions for what you want to call in -- otherwise you can manifest a lot of what you don't want. Focus on what you desire and then make a list of all that goes along with it. If you're getting clear about the job you want, make a list of all the things about the job that make you happy: the office, the people, the salary, etc. Be unapologetic about what you want. This list helps you clarify your intentions and access a vibrant mental picture of what you desire.
The most important part of this step is to clarify how you want to feel. When you get clear on how you want to feel, you can begin to access that feeling. That feeling is what makes the manifestation come into form. You can write a thousand lists and make a million vision boards, but if you don't clearly feel what you want to experience, it will never truly manifest into form.
Principle Three: Think It, Feel It, Believe It!
Now put these steps together. Take your clear intention and spend time every day sitting in the feeling of what it is that you desire. You might access the feeling through meditation and visioning exercises, or call on the feeling when you're in nature or doing a form of exercise you love. Let the thought inform the feeling and let the feeling take over your energy. The more you feel the feeling of what you desire, the more you believe it is on the way. From a metaphysical perspective, if you believe it then it is already here. So make time for contemplating, thinking, feeling and believing.
Principle Four: Chill!
The next step is crucial to the manifestation process. In order to truly manifest your desires into form, you need to chill out! A Course in Miracles teaches: "Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait and wait without anxiety." Take this message with you and allow your faithfulness to guide you into the belief that what you desire is on the way. Also trust that the universe has a much better plan than you do. Though you are clear about what you want, you cannot control the timing or the form in which it comes. Stay calm, relax and trust that the universe has your back!
Principle Five: Know the Universe is on your side!
Principle Five: Know the Universe is on your side!
When you're in the know, you're deliberate about what you want. When you're in the know, you no longer vibrate energy of fear or disbelief. You just know. As your disbelief wilts away, wanting is replaced by knowing. Getting into the know happens naturally. When you diligently practice steps one through four, you will clean your house, get clear and feel happier. This process is healing and powerful, and it leads to a deep inner knowing that you are right where you need to be. Accepting your greatness in this moment, right now, is what manifests more greatness. Being in the know helps you accept that you already are living in your desired manifestation. When you feel it, you live it regardless of what is happening on the outside. In time, the universe catches up with your energy and your desires come into form. This process of allowing the manifestation to follow your internal faith is the true process of co-creation.
Stay Committed to Happiness
Stay committed to this five-step process and trust that you're exactly where you need to be. Is your main desire to feel good? Trust you will be given everything you need to create that feeling. Know that feeling good is the true manifestation and everything else is the icing on the already delicious cake!
So today I am manifesting my little Jasmine Street desire. And here it is, I am sitting in it right now looking at the Terrace cafe with its fifties tables and chairs, flowers and bottles of wine! Just as I imagined it weeks ago, and even better than I imagined it because at every turn new and magical things have turned up, whether it was a Polish man with a double bass slung over his shoulder coming down the steps from the river, or being given the keys to a studio for Jasmine Street way before I expected them! Its surely an adventure and you have to go with it - the twists and turns for good and bad all lead to the place you want to be if your intention is clear and committed. Pretty awesome really!
Have a lovely day manifesting what you want for this Sunday! And my guess is you will get it! I plan to.
