Why do some people seem to manifest a great deal of wealth, and other live in scarcity? As I pondered this question, I thought about what I have manifested into my life, and how our beliefs impact on our ability to manifest.
We are definitely influenced by our family and society beliefs regarding money and material goods, I remember hearing comments like, rich people aren’t happy, and money doesn’t grow on trees, or you have to work hard to be rich.
These beliefs block you from manifesting. Often when speaking about manifesting abundance people associate abundance to wealth, owning a big house, an upmarket car, a boat, designer clothes, first class travel etc.
These things are all very nice to have, but often people who already have material goods still become unhappy, always wanting more, they forget to be grateful for what they have in their life. People will go into debt to get what they want, and it may make them feel happy for a time, until they want something else they can’t afford, becoming a constant roundabout for them.
Sadly they are missing out on so much. They manifest a life of dissatisfaction and unhappiness, some blaming life and becoming a victim to it.
In turn they worry about their situation, worry achieves nothing and is the biggest killer of your dreams and vitality, causing illness, depression and anxiety, often resulting in increased tendency to smoke and drink more alcohol, eat unhealthy foods, finding it hard to get off the roundabout and manifest an abundant life. I know people who have turned their life around, by taking a step off the roundabout and manifesting a joyful happy fulfilling life.
When I became aware that we are co-creators, that life doesn’t happen to us, rather that we happen to life, at that point I began to manifest the life I wished to have.
Our mind has about sixty thousand thoughts a day; most people have no awareness of these thoughts and what they are thinking, and it is our thoughts that manifest our reality. As a younger woman I had a bit of an insight in to how powerful the mind can be, while sewing one evening, I started to feel a bit cold, so I turned the switch on the electric heater on and continued sewing. I then started to feel much warmer. After finishing sewing and it was time to go to bed, I went to turn the heater off and noticed that the switch had been off at the wall plug; wow I definitely thought I felt warmer.
In later years I studied Esoteric Science with the Claregate College in London by Correspondence, the founder Dr Douglas Baker gave a good example regarding the power of the mind, and how we manifest with our thoughts.
Many years ago at the Delaware Laboratories a photo was taken of some tap water with a radionics camera, revealing a normal radiator pattern. The water was taken to a church nearby where it was blessed by the reverend minister, he visualised while making the sign of the cross, then a second photo was taken, and you could clearly see the image of the cross. So visualisation is well worth the effort to manifest what we want in our life.
Yes we really do need to become aware of what we think and manifest into our life, we are totally responsibly for our thoughts. Every cell in our body has a memory, not just our minds. Our whole being puts out a vibrational energy; we are a mini universe, ideally in tune with the vibrational waves and frequencies affecting everything.
When I started to meditate I became more aware of what my thoughts were, it helped me to focus and be present in the now, this is one of the benefits of meditation.
In the past I would often day dream quite unaware that I was creating my reality, when I moved to Australia I needed to find work and took a job in a factory, the work was boring, noisy and hot, but I felt grateful for the nice people I worked with and the money I could earn.
While working there I would daydream, wishing I had a job were I would be able to help people. I had no formal qualification so I wasn’t sure what I would be able to do, but I knew that I would love to help people. Unbeknown to me at the time, my daydreaming thoughts were manifesting my future, two years later A friend and I opened a healing centre called ‘VISIONS’ where I gave psychic readings, I would often receive feedback on how helpful they were.
Of course to manifest you can do more than just daydream, you could create a vision board showing pictures or articles regarding the things you would like to manifest. When you visualise it is also important to fully believe it can and will happen and to feel what it will be like when it does.
Also watch your words, what you say in daily life
There are words to avoid like can’t etc and words to use like I can, it is worth buying a book on this subject to help you manifest, at my meditation group the subject came up about money, a young woman there made the statement, I don’t know why I am always broke, I had heard her say on many occasions, ‘I can’t afford’. I also had a good lesson in how important it is to be careful of what you are saying. At the time I was really busy and I kept on saying, I need a break, I need a break. One day, although wearing sensible shoes I simply went over on my foot and broke the fifth metatarsal bone in my foot. That wasn’t the break I intended! This relates to the old cliché ‘be careful what you ask for. When dealing with a situation that required me to have patience, I once asked for more patience and oh boy! Lessons came came hard and fast to test my patience. Once again I manifested that which I didn’t really want, so I am now very careful with what I ask for. However, I did manifest patience.
Patience is only one of the attributes that have helped me to manifest, others are to have gratitude for what you already have, to love life and be joyous.
I had to persevere in order to manifest my book, called ‘On the Blackboard of my Heart’ and I also had to believe that I could do it, even though I am dyslexic. Importantly, having decided to manifest something, one must put in the effort, then trust in divine timing, have faith it will happen, let it go, surrender to the universe knowing and feeling it will manifest. The universe is listening to you and it is in the now. Your thoughts must in the now, say it in the now, example, not, “I want a health body”, but, “I have a healthy body”. Go manifest ‘You can manifest’ the life you want.
