Manifestation
is the ability to hold, focus and direct our
creative energies into form. In general,
most people tend to disperse their creative
energies - their life force - because they
have not been taught that these energies
are the key to manifesting their dreams and
heart's desires. In order to manifest, we
must be able to hold those creative energies
in the vessel of our body until with our
intention, focus and direction we send them
out to create something we desire. For those
who are not used to the feeling in their
bodies that the build up of these energies
generates, it can get intense. Often they
seek to disperse the energy, usually through
patterns of addictive behavior. Their energy
is scattered everywhere and, much like buckshot,
little if any of it hits the target. If we
recognize these patterns and learn instead
to cultivate our creative fire, then manifestation
on every level is possible.
An integral key to manifesting is receiving.
We are part of an immense cycle, an ebb and
flow of the Universe that involves everything
and everyone. That cycle is a part of your
very existence. Most of us learn to give
but never learn to receive, or are taught
that receiving is selfish. Yet who are we
to block the flow of the entire Universe?
Energy goes out, and so it must return. If
we learn only to give but never learn to
receive, then we can manifest everything
we want, it can be right in front of us,
yet we'll never know it's there. It cannot
exist in our version of reality. In addition,
most people are creating unconsciously; in
so doing, their deepest fears and worries
are brought forth into their lives for resolution.
Conscious creativity, the flow of creative
energy and the ability to receive are what
allow us to manifest what we truly desire.
Here are some simple steps to transform your
creative manifestation process.
Open ~ Be open to the potentials
and possibilities, open to the creative force
of the Universe. We are the energy of the
Universe; recognize your greatness, your
power. Open the energy channels of your body
to accept the flow of Creation.
Align ~ Be very clear about
what you want to create! Remember the details,
be specific. As the energies flow through
you make sure that your thoughts, your feeling
and your actions are all aligned toward the
same goal.
Gather/Hold ~ Allow the
energies to accumulate without dispersing
them. Breathe steadily and deeply as a continuous
breath. Let the energies build while holding
the vision of what you want to create in
your mind's eye and experience what the creation
made manifest will feel like.
Focus/Direct ~ Concentrate
your intention. You can do this through meditation,
ritual, and/or being in a calm peaceful state.
Continue to feel and fill the creation energies
until you are a cup running over.
Release/Create ~ Let the
energy go/flow -- it may leave you like a
rocket, it may be a wave or just a sense
of completion or peace. When you let your
manifestation go, let it go completely --
no holding back or doubt.
Know/Trust ~ No backtracking!
Once the seed is planted, don't go back and
dig it up to see if it's sprouting. Walk
away, go on about your business and trust
that all is well.
Receive ~ Be open to the
potentials and possibilities: we begin and
end in the same place because creation, manifesting
and receiving are a cycle, it is something
that we do in every instant of our existence.
The more we open to receive, the more open
we are -- which then allows the process of
conscious creation to become a natural constant
in the fabric of our lives.
Our challenge is to bring our ability to
create to our conscious awareness and then
use it with that same awareness. You will
get what you ask for/manifest, and it may
not look like what you expect. Why limit
creation by allowing your mind to think that
something can only be one way? Create the
opening for unlimited possibilities, for
quantum creation, for miracle manifestation.
It is your birthright, it is your true nature,
and we are creators and manifesters of the
highest order. Recognize the synchronicity
in your life and manifest your dreams!
