Manifisting

Sometimes it just blurts out. Regurgitating overused terms like Manifesting.

I think when people use the term, they mean willing something positive to happen where they would be the beneficiaries. From sheer will power, they create fortunate circumstances. Like fisting it with their hand. Yeah, like that. It’s why I call it Manifisting not Manifesting.

Perhaps they fill overjoyed at a lucky moment, one of simple coincidence, and attribute it to a far hope. Or they want to feel they are co-creators of their rewarding occasion.

But Manifesting, as I understand it, is so much more. It’s creating the circumstances in your life where you are attracting great and wondrous things to happen. Through the law of attraction, not will, positive vibrations come to you.

Setting a positive mindset and focusing on possibilities rather than only challenges makes it easier to send those vibrations out to the universe. Constantly wanting good things to occur smacks slightly of desperation and neediness, attracting a shadow opportunist, or at the least an air of scarcity.

Abundance and it’s power come from daily gratitudes and a recognition of gifts. Like minds attract minds that like. Leaning toward the silver linings sew the fabric of amazement and wonder. It takes a steadfast commitment to self-inspection and honest accounting of the budding and bountiful nature you bring.

The tricky and unwieldy step is to offer up this abundance. The knowingness that the power cannot be realized if the gifts are held onto and hoarded. It must be given wings to fly from you. Provision not possession. The wealth of your positivism cannot compound interest by stockpiling but only through free exchange. So send it out. Out to the universe.

Foolish hope stems from unreal expectations. Whereas aspirational hope springs from untethered expectations. Your offerings from your abundance gain power with no attachment to the outcome. Giving from your core unconditionally.

Set up for those life edits would be another way to manifest great fortune. Instead of discarding those people or things in your life that no longer serve you choose pruning or weeding for expansion and growth thereby resisting the urge to be served at all. It is editing with intention and proactiveness rather than lopping off areas of your life out of reaction. As the weeds and dead branches are uncluttered in your life, it makes room for a stronger and more vibrant path. It clears up the open road for discovery and opportunity.

In contrast Manifisting is confirmation of getting that new house, that new job, that new relationship through grit and determination only to find those aspects holding you back, choking the learning and developing person, are still there — you just fought past them. Saying goodbye with some grieving and letting go clears a space for manifestation of your true and natural gifts.

Manifesting is transmitting energy while Manifisting is burning energy. Embodying a generative force from abundance and a positive outlook is the engine of attraction. It’s like coming from a place of generous warmth and energy instead of making conditional offers in order to receive. Be the one to smile and wave hello first. Open up and send radiance as long as you can and as often as you can without the lingering quid pro quo. At the very least, it will create integrity of the person you are to all around. It seems when a friend says they’re manifesting from an intense need, it feels like a wet blanket just dropped over the room. Energy of wantonness consumes not only the person you are but may create a vacuum of space between you and others. Adopting a generative nature, springboards new ideas, inspires others, warms the atmosphere, draws people in, and germinates seeds of abundance for anyone in contact with you — truly an attractive law of nature.

Ultimately we have magical possessions but when used to exclaim personal fortune because we hexed it into existence with witchy wishfulness, that is not the awesome power of manifestation. Waving a hand, or even curling a fist, is avarice only. Crafting the art of clearing intentions, capturing true gifts, and cultivating positive energy, is the actual recipe for manifesting a surprising and rewarding happenstance.
