Create the Life you Want - Learn the Power of Manifesting - Rachel Devine
Do you want to lose weight, perhaps get a better-paying job, start a business, or meet your soulmate? Imagine a world where all you have to do is think about what you want, and that becomes your reality. You might be thinking this is a good script for a sci-fi movie because we are conditioned to be limited in what we think can create our reality. You might ask yourself, Is my ability to create my future just a fantasy or an actual reality? The answer may surprise you, as the ability to create your future is a reality. This article will give you some powerful manifestation techniques that will outline ways to bring your goals into your world.
Manifestation, the act of bringing your desires into reality through focused thought and intention, has grown in popularity over the years. Scholars like Neville Goddard, Carl Jung, and Dr. Wayne Dyer have advocated for the power of the mind to manifest our deepest desires. This article will explore the most effective manifestation techniques, including visualization, affirmations, and the "live in the end" concept.
The Power of Visualization
Visualization benefits are unlimited. One of the most widely recognized manifestation techniques is visualization. Advocated by scholars like Shakti Gawain, author of "Creative Visualization," this technique involves forming detailed mental images of what you want to manifest. The more specific and detailed the mental picture, the more potent the manifestation. There is also a book called "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale that gives fascinating insights into the power of visualization. Peale tells us that if you keep a positive visualization in your mind every day, what you visualize will eventually come into your life. The key is to be consistent with your visualization. You can also create a vision board. You can get some oak tag, some stickers, a marker, some pictures out of a magazine, and create a board of symbols and words on what you want your life to look like in the future. Put the vision board in a place you can see it daily. I create a vision board a few years ago and 90% of what I had on there came to reality.
Affirmations
Another powerful technique is the use of affirmations. These are positive statements repeated regularly to reprogram your subconscious mind, aligning it with your conscious desires. Louise Hay, a well-known advocate for affirmations, states in her work You Can Heal Your Life, that repeating affirmations can significantly change our lives in a positive way. You can also write out the affirmations and post them in places where you can easily see them. Say these affirmations out loud every day and see what transpires.
The "Live in the End" Concept
Neville Goddard, a leading figure in the New Thought movement, proposed a technique often referred to as "live in the end." The idea is to imagine and feel your desire as already fulfilled, essentially living in the reality of your wish fulfilled. This process is said to impress your subconscious mind, prompting it to manifest the desired reality. In other words, if you want a promotion, visualize your colleagues congratulating you for it as if it already happened. Or if you want to lose weight, imagine yourself at your ideal weight. These visualizations are more powerful if you picture one image of what you want to manifest when you are falling asleep and resonate with the feelings of having what you want already in your life. Neville Goddard tells us in his book, Feeling is the Secret, that the feelings are what get embedded in the subconscious mind and is what brings our goals to reality. Our subconscious mind drives our lives 97% of the time, the key to manifesting is to feed our subconscious mind what we want. We do that by feeding it feelings of what we want in life, as if it is already here. You have the ability to manifest your dreams into reality.
The 5x55 Method
The 5x55 method is a newer technique gaining traction in the manifestation community. It involves writing down a specific affirmation 55 times a day for five consecutive days. This repetitive action is believed to effectively reprogram the subconscious mind.
Meditation
Meditation is often incorporated into manifestation practices to help quiet the conscious mind and better communicate with the subconscious mind. Dr. Joe Dispenza, in his book "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself," suggests that meditation can help us move beyond our analytical mind to access deeper states of consciousness, fostering effective manifestation.
The Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction is based on the idea that like attracts like. By focusing on positive thoughts, we can attract positive experiences into our lives. This is accomplished by putting good energy into the world. It's similar to karma in the sense that what you put out into the world comes back to you. Think of the world around you as an echo chamber; whatever thoughts and words you put into the echo chamber come back to you. It's so important to put positive thoughts and words out into the world, rather than negative ones.
The Power of Intention
Dr. Wayne Dyer has a book, The Power of Intention, where he outlines a clear game plan for manifesting our dreams. He also writes about a certain effective meditation called Japa. Japa is a meditation where you envision what you want in your life, and basically you put these thoughts out into the world and allow them to encircle the world and then imagine that energy coming back to you.
Gratitude
Gratitude plays an important role in manifestation. The more grateful you are, the more positive our thoughts get imbedded into our subconscious minds. Research has continuously given us medical benefits, as well as emotional benefits, for being grateful.
Conclusion
Remember, Elon Musk started with a tiny thought when he decided he wanted to build SpaceX and eventually create a colony on Mars, and now we see how his thoughts have manifested into reality. Every idea starts with a thought, and every thought is empowered by our actions. And to go one step further, our goals become a reality when we put focused effort and new thought ideas to work.
The power to manifest our desires into reality lies within each of us. By utilizing techniques like visualization, affirmations, the "live in the end" concept, and all of the above, we can tap into this enormous power within and shape our reality. Whether you resonate with Neville Goddard's teachings or Dr. Wayne Dyer's manifestation methods, finding a technique that works best for you is the key to effective manifestation. You can try one or all of the suggestions. I say the more, the better. With practice and consistency, you can harness the power of your mind to manifest your desires into reality.
