Manifestation is a powerful process that you can use to help you achieve abundance in your life. 

 

Since ancient times, we’ve been doing manifestation practice consciously and unconsciously. Manifestation comes in different forms like meditation, rituals, and prayers. 

Some people think that the process of manifestation involves magic and voodoo. 

Truth is, manifestation empowers us. It gives us a sense of direction. 

Manifesting isn’t the challenge. We do it almost every day.

The real challenge is using manifestation to turn your dreams into reality. 

So today, I will be discussing manifestation, its meaning, and how to make it work for you. 

 

Manifestation meaning, origins, and early practice 

 

Merriam-webster defines manifestation as a perceptible, outward, or visible expression of thoughts, words, and actions. 

Vocabulary.com also defines it as a public display of emotion or feeling, or something theoretical that is made real. 

If you trace its roots, manifestation and the law of attraction goes back to ancient practices and Eastern teachings. 

Almost all religious leaders discuss the power of your mind, thoughts, and words. Even Buddha is believed to have said, “All that we are is the result of what we have thought.’

But it wasn’t until the 19th century when Madam Helena Petrovna Blavatsky coined the term, ‘law of attraction’. 

According to her, our thoughts and our identities define who we are and what we’re capable of. She also emphasized that we have the ability to shape our reality and unlock the power to move beyond our limitations. 

A 19th-century author, Thomas Troward shared the same sentiments as Madam Blavatsky. He said we will all benefit most when we combine teachings from a range of spiritual traditions. 

Their beliefs have led to contemporary works such as the works of William Walker Atkinson. He has written more than 100 books that talk about how to focus on strengthening willpower, improving focus, and developing magnetism for positivity into people’s lives.

This also led to more books like The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Delois Wattles,  Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, and The Secret by Rhonda Byrne 

 

How Manifestation Works 

 

Neuropsychiatrist David Kreuger discusses the magic and science of neuroscience and its relationship to manifestation. 

According to him, the mind is an energy field that responds to what you focus on. This creates brain connections and creates energetic frequencies. 

These frequencies are more commonly known as vibrations. 

These vibrations are projected through our thoughts and emotions. It is the basis of our sense of well-being and the source of the things we attract. 

So how does manifestation work?

There are three parts of being a human: the mind, body, and spirit. These three elements work together to define your morals, beliefs, and who you are as a person. 

Ideally, these elements should work in alignment to make sure you’re living a happy, healthy life. 

Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. 

Living in the physical world can give you stress, anxiety, and trauma. This can lead to a disconnect between the three, and result in frustration for you as a person. 

Our bodies usually manifest the thoughts happening in our minds and spirit. If it’s filled with negative energy, the body can manifest pains and even illnesses. 

Your thoughts and energy can affect your reality. So if you’re constantly feeding negativity into your life, then that’s what you’re going to attract. 

Manifestation is the product of your thoughts and actions. And to truly attract good things in your life, you must first clear your mind. You also need to unblock any negative energy and work on your limiting beliefs.

Manifestation techniques you can use to get your goals 

As a money mindset expert, I always believe that money is the easiest to manifest 

The true challenge lies in clearing your blocks and identifying what you want to manifest. 

Here are a few questions to ask yourself when deciding on what to manifest: 

• Is it something I desire in your heart of hearts?
• What is the biggest benefit if I manifest this goal? 
• Does it feel right for me if I achieve this? 
• How will others benefit if I achieve this goal? 

Once you answer all these questions, the next step is to choose what you want to manifest. 

You have to have a strong desire for your goal, and believe with the strongest intent that it will happen. 

This strong intent will help you get rid of the blocks that will prevent you from reaching your goals. 

What are these blocks?

It includes negative mindsets and beliefs you’ve adapted. You also need to cut cords from toxic relationships that drain you of your energy. 

Patience and timing can also be blocks. Becoming impatient with yourself or the results can also waste all your efforts in manifestation. 

Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich also talks about a formula that helps with manifestation. 

Here are his six steps to manifesting your desires. 

1. 1. Focus your attention on your goals. This includes being exact in your desires, like the amount of money you want or the look of that dream house. 
   2. Determine what you’re prepared to offer in exchange for what you want. 
   3. Set an exact date of when you intend for your desire to happen. This helps your goals be more measurable.
   4. Create a concrete plan and put that plan into immediate action
   5. Create a clear statement of what you manifest. Be exact with your desired goals, when you want to have it, and what you’re giving up to make it happen. 
   6. Read your written statement out loud every day. It’s best to say your statement aloud twice a day: one in the morning and another at night. It’s also important to claim it as done and act as if you’ve already achieved this goal.

Here’s a formula you can use for creating your manifestation statement according to Napoleon Hill.

I am grateful every day for the life I’m creating, where I have an income of (insert amount) by (date). I want this abundance so I could (purpose). In exchange for (amount), I will provide (service).

Why you need a manifestation journal

 

A manifestation journal can help you keep track of your goals and see which of them has already been manifested. 

So how does it help you manifest? 

Journaling helps connect the conscious and subconscious and helps you identify limiting beliefs that may come up. 

It also helps you analyze your perspective and provides a space for you to vent without judgment. 

A manifestation journal can also help you clear your head and improve self-awareness. 

And most of all, it makes your goals become real and tangible. 

After all, writing on paper is the first step of manifesting your goals from the inside out. The action of writing things down makes you more accountable to yourself as well. 

 

Conclusion

 

Manifestation is a powerful tool you can use to help you achieve your goals in life. 

This along with gratitude and discipline will give you the opportunity to create opportunities for yourself and for others.

We all have limiting beliefs.

It’s that small voice inside your head that makes you question your decisions. 

It’s that bit of fear that holds you back when you’re trying something new to change things up for the better. 

Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes you need to dig deep and uncover them. 

But one thing is for certain. These limiting beliefs stop you from living the life you want and deserve. 

So today I will share with you some limiting beliefs especially when it comes to money.

 

Identifying limiting beliefs 

 

As they say, it takes a village to raise a child.  And as we grow as a person, we develop certain belief systems that affect how we view the world. 

Psychology Today defines beliefs as a reality-making blueprint. It influences our perceptions, our definitions of morals, shapes our characters, and affects the kind of relationships we choose to have. 

It can also define your direction, determine your health, identify your passions, and affects the course of actions you take in your life. 

Many of these beliefs are handed down from family, community, and culture. 

As a part of the social construct, you are conditioned to abide by certain rules, attitudes, mindsets, and other ways of responding to situations and scenarios that happened before. 

While these belief systems may have worked in the past, some of them may not be as good for you today. 

Most of these belief systems have inaccuracies and biased points of view. 

Some may be unique to a particular group, geographic area, historical period, or religious beliefs. 

Other beliefs may have come from traumatic events. These experience can have such a huge emotional impact that may be difficult to fully feel and release. 

These unprocessed emotional residues can remain in the body as somatic memories. It makes the experience so intense that the body often ‘relives’ the experience. 

This often results in emotional stress, energy blocks, and physical tensions that we feel in our mind and body. 

These traumas and experiences can be passed on from one generation to the next, establishing a behavior pattern that can be difficult to get rid of. 

Limiting beliefs also exists when it comes to our money mindset. 

There are tons of money mindsets from our parents, friends, and communities that might have sneaked its way into your belief systems. The irony is, we might not even be aware that we have them. 

 

5 Common Self-Limiting Beliefs You Might Not Know You Have 

 

As a money mindset expert, my goal is to help entrepreneurs break free from their limiting beliefs, reverse their money shame, and blast through their money blocks.  

And in my years of speaking with entrepreneurs, I’ve noticed that most of them are not fully aware of the self-limiting beliefs they have. 

Here is a list of limiting beliefs about money that they shared with me. 

 

I just don’t have the time 

This is the most common limiting belief we all have. We just don’t have the time. 

Ask anyone if he wants to be rich, and I’m sure you’ll get a 100% yes. But if you tell people what is required to get there, you’ll surely hear a different thing. 

Do you ever wonder how amazing people like Beyonce, Oprah, and Jeff Bezos achieve success? 

It’s because they make time to learn, to fail, to dream, and to take action. 

Time is the greatest equalizer. All of us only get 24 hours in a day. 

Successful people get to where they are because they choose to spend their time wisely. 

The question is, how do you spend yours?

 

I’m not that good at anything

 

Do you feel like everyone has a special thing, but you don’t? 

Like how this one person can be a wiz in the kitchen, or how your friend is so good at singing. Or how your rich friend seems to have the golden touch. 

You might think it’s something they were born with. Or they just had all the support they needed. Or because they got a head start in life. 

Let me break it to you, my lovely. Do you know why they’re so good at what they do? 

These “experts” were also once beginners. And they’re good at what they do is because of the time and patience they dedicated to their craft. 

They were willing to fail and do it all over again. Being bad at something didn’t stop them from wanting to pursue it. 

Instead, they focus on improving on what they can until they’re happy with the results.

So be a little kinder to yourself and start thinking of how you can be better in time. 

 

I don’t want to be greedy.

There’s a common notion that wanting money equates to being greedy. 

For so long, we’ve been taught that abundance is like a pie. Everyone is entitled to his share, but wanting more of it means less for others.  

This mindset has caused so many to want less than they deserve. Truth is, abundance is never-ending. There is more than enough for everyone. 

Wanting money means creating opportunities for yourself. And the more opportunities you create, the more you can help others also attain abundance. 

 

I’m too old to try something new and/or be successful.

 

Most people think that opportunities come when you’re young. But you know what, most millionaires and successful people took a while to hit their mark. 

I believe age is nothing but a number. What matters is how you feel and how you’re growing as you age. 

Starting a business when you’re older doesn’t make it easier. Instead, you are tons wiser and more mature, especially when dealing with the challenges of running a business. 

Check out the infographic below to see what I mean. 

 

Being successful/having money changes people.

 

In my experience, money is like a magnifying glass. It doesn’t change who you are. Instead, it magnifies who you are. 

If you are good-natured, kind, and giving, then you will become more generous when you get to your goals. 

The same thing goes for the people you’re with. 

Don’t worry about people telling you you’ve changed because of your success. The right circle will be truly happy for you and cheer you on. 

 

Tips on Releasing Limiting Beliefs 

 

Releasing limiting beliefs takes consistency and patience. It also takes courage to acknowledge and accept them. 

The first thing you need to do is to discover the limiting beliefs that hold you back. For this, you would need to write it down to put it into a physical form. 

Next, you need to acknowledge that these limiting beliefs are just that: beliefs. It’s not an absolute truth. The good thing is, you can still change these beliefs to ones that are more favorable for you. 

The key is to analyze yourself and your past to know and understand why you hold these beliefs. 

Here are some questions you can ask yourself. 

• How true is this belief for you? 
• Has it stopped you from becoming a better version of yourself?
• Why do you hold this belief? Was it told to you in childhood or spoken to you by an influential person in your life?
• What are the valid reasons you must challenge these beliefs? 
• How can you reframe your belief and turn it into a more positive one?

 

Once you have answered these questions, you will realize the huge impact of these belief systems in your life. 

It also helps you reflect on your potential and makes you realize how much of these are actually holding you back. 

Taking action and committing to it can help solidify your new belief systems. This will also lead you to a better, more abundant life.
