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.
-
- 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.
- Determine what you’re prepared to offer in exchange for what you want.
- Set an exact date of when you intend for your desire to happen. This helps your goals be more measurable.
- Create a concrete plan and put that plan into immediate action
- 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.
- 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). |
