How to Manifest
Or more aptly, how I manifest, because manifestation can be a very personal thing.
The movie The Secret came out when I was in high school. Immediately, I was hooked. I intuitively knew that what I was learning was correct. The movie explained phenomena I had experienced since as early as I could remember that I just didn’t have an explanation for. I decided to write an essay on it and immediately came up against resistance. My English teacher couldn’t see how “positive thinking” could possibly influence the future. I objected on the basis that he didn’t really understand how it worked.
It is not just about positive thinking, it is about positive feelings. Forgive my very basic and general analysis, but when you dig deeper into the yogic science around the so-called “law of attraction” the logic is perfectly sound. Each of us has our own unique electromagnetic signature. All magnets attract and/or repel depending on their orientation to other magnetic bodies. When we can change our electromagnetic signature, we can repel and attract different things. In yogic science, that’s called your aura. It acts as a protective shield or a homing beacon depending on the quality of the person’s thoughts, feelings, and emotions. All of which have a symbiotic relationship with the physical systems of respiration, glandular secretions, and neural pathways.
So what I mean to say is, your body is a big part of how well you manifest the things you want. Being able to create at will the physiological response of gratitude and joy is more effective than just “thinking” positively.
When I manifest, I have to be able to create a physical experience, and I do that through exercise. I do this in three steps. First, I need to get clear on what I want. I find it easiest to get clarity with a meditative approach. Taking out the garbage that is obscuring the answer I need. I do this through, repetitive, and meditative movements. Walking in nature is a great example of this type of movement. Focus on the feeling you want to experience, and consciously put those feelings into the musculature.
Once I have some idea what the positive end result is, it’s time to get to work. Applying myself day in and day out, in faith. As I get tired, I must continue to act with precision and strength. Sculpt or barre workouts are perfect for this. I visualize the end result with each movement. Bonus points if you have an affirmation or mantra to connect to.
The last step is knowing, without a shadow of a doubt, that the experience you want, already exists for you. What’s more, feeling gratitude for already having it. The best way I know to do this is through dance cardio. Turn on your favorite heart-pumping song, throw your hands in the air, and dance. Lose yourself in the visualization of having attained the goal. The increased heart rate helps mimic the physiological response of JOY and excitement, changing your electromagnetic signature for the better.
