Manifesting isn’t woo-woo; it is a process that can be taught. Tools like affirmations, mantras, visualization, and guided meditations will help you focus your energy on manifestation, but ultimately it’s up to you to take inspired action. Yes, you must take action steps in order to manifest your goals! We are all limited in our power when we think and act from the ego. Small thinking creates small results. But when we expand our goals to reach beyond ourselves and benefit the collective, we expand the field in which we are creating, and we can also greatly expand our results. There are things out of our control, and the Universe, Source, Higher Power, Divine Intelligence, or however you like to conceptualize it, has a far bigger plan that extends beyond our seeing or understanding. This doesn’t mean that you can’t create incredible things, because you absolutely can. But it does mean that you want to align your will with Universal will, by making sure that it is of benefit to the whole. When you are working to benefit others beyond yourself, you will have more supported energy and inspiration behind you to fuel your inspired action. An example is simply wanting to manifest losing 10 pounds. That’s great, and the very real goal of millions of people. However, if you shift to expand your goal to something like, “I intend to lose 10 pounds so I can feel lighter and more energized, to help serve others more in my work,” you can feel the difference in those intentions energetically. The great yoga guru Paramahansa Yogananda taught at length about properly practicing affirmations by merging with the energy behind the words, first saying them out loud and then silently. His method has inspired the affirmation method that I teach in the Manifesting Your Goal Kit, as there is great power in sincere words spoken with great conviction. I also recommend practicing affirmations after meditating, when the mind and thoughts are more quiet, for maximum effectiveness.
