What’s Manifesting?
Manifesting is a popular practice where you envision making reality a goal you have for yourself. You attract what you want, and a lot of elements are crucial to this. A lot of celebrities believe in manifesting.
One of the most popular proponents in manifesting is the author of The Secret, Rhonda Byrne. She based her famous book on the power of the Law of Attraction – and manifestation also comes in handy there. By manifesting, you can make use of the Law of Attraction.
According to this Law of Attraction:
- This governs everything in your life and experiences
- You attract with your energy
The Requirements of Manifesting
Cultivate the Energy You Want to Experience
When you want to manifest, you need to hold the same energy for the energy you want to attract. The manifestation happens on the level of the energy; the number of vision boards you make and affirmations won’t really matter if you do not hold the same energy for the energy you want to attract.
James R. Doty, MD, who teaches neurosurgery at Stanford and wrote Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How It Changes Everything, believes that redirecting your attention produces neural pathways to get rid of old beliefs that no longer serve you. In manifesting, you replace them with ones that work better for you. You have to feed the feeling of the manifestation.
Effort
Of course, you also need to do the work to get to where you want to be. It’s not like you have to let luck dictate your outcome, unlike when you’re playing at an online casino.
The effort is a crucial component. For example, your manifestation is to get published. You will have to manifest the energy – but you also need to work on concrete steps that can get you published, such as actually writing your book and making big moves to bring it closer to publishing.
Challenging Yourself
Of course, you need to let go of your limiting beliefs. The effort needed is a daily task, and it is far from a walk in the park. You can practice manifesting throughout the day, and you will be aware that the universe has your back.
The Benefits of Manifesting
Gratitude
Manifesting allows you to practice more gratitude. Gratitude allows you to be more appreciative of the things around you as well as the things that you’re doing now. And most of all, it cultivates an appreciation for the present and holds the space and the same energy for what you want to attract in life.
Intentionality
Manifesting makes you more aware of what you want in life.
To get what you want, manifesting also requires you to put effort into achieving the outcome you want. You then become more intentional about your actions at work and your goals. Working, after all, is part of achieving your goals!
Growth
Lastly, manifesting has helped and worked wonders for personal growth and development by helping you work on your limiting beliefs and challenging them. It’s a form of cognitive restructuring; this helps you reorganize your beliefs and have healthier ones.
Wrapping Up
Don’t expect to let the blessings fall in your lap with manifesting! Manifesting takes effort, too, as well as energy. Happy manifesting!
