You’ve just finished watching “The Secret” for the fifth time this month… and you’re excited about the Law of Attraction and what you can manifest!

“I’m going to give this stuff a really good go. I’m going to do everything I’ve learnt and practice it for one month straight.” you say.

So off you go and begin making a list of everything you want to manifest. It feels so good making this list that you can barely wait until it all manifests into your experience!

“Why didn’t I know this before?”

You then make the decision that you’re going to visualize your desires as much as possible. You’re going to meditate twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. You’re also going to visualize your desires whilst you’re at the office working.

To help with this, you’ve made a little affirmation … “I’m so happy now that money comes to me in increasing quantities through multiple sources on a continuous basis” … which you’ve written on a small card and put into your purse where you will see it often.

Right now, your vibration is sky high and although you don’t fully understand what a vibration is, you know you’re doing the right things. It just feels right, but you don’t understand why.

So, off you go on your day to day activities.

On day 1, you wake up and do your meditation. It feels good and you’re happy about everything, yet you’ve already notice that you didn’t feel the same as you did last night when you were making your list!

You say to yourself… “It doesn’t matter, I’m going to make this work even if it kills me! I’m going to do everything I know I should be doing to manifest stuff with the Law of Attraction. Millions of people are doing it, and so am I!”

You stick to your decision and do your visualizing whenever you remember to, and also meditate and do another visualization session in the evening.

Day 2 comes around and you’ve already skipped your morning meditation. One of the kids wasn’t feeling well this morning so you didn’t have time to do it. You stick to your visualization and meditation in the evening, but your enthusiasm for all of this has noticeably decreased.

By day 3, you’re asking questions like “so, how long does this stuff take?” … “I’ve been doing it for half a week now, and nothing has shown up. All I wanted to manifest was a few unexpected dollars!”

And as day 4 approaches, you’ve worked yourself into such a downer that you can no longer be bothered with meditation at all. You’ve been talking yourself into this miserable place all day yesterday because you haven’t seen any results yet. You’re not looking at your affirmation card in your purse anymore as its already become background noise. “Normal” life has resumed.

Maybe you’ve been in a similar position before?

Here’s where this manifestation went wrong…

• Manifesting for the point of manifesting
• Doing processes that weren’t in alignment with YOU
• Asking “where’s my stuff?”
• Giving your attention to unwanted circumstances

Manifesting for the point of manifesting – When you visualize or meditate for the sole intention of manifesting something you want, you’re including two things into your vibration. On the one hand, you’re feeling good about your manifestation and you’re enjoying seeing it in your minds eye (this of course is good), and on the other hand, you’re including the feelings of “I don’t have this yet, but I want to manifest it”.

The solution is very simple and very enjoyable. Visualize not to manifest, but to feel good. Visualize because thinking about your desire makes you feel good and not because you’re going to manifest it!

Doing processes that weren’t in alignment with YOU – Everyone is different… some people don’t enjoy meditating. Some people don’t like affirmations. By paying attention to your feelings, you should be able to determine whether something is right or not for you. When you think about the prospect of meditating every day, does it feel good, or not so good? Maybe you don’t feel anything? If it doesn’t feel good to you, then its not the right thing for you to do.

Maybe making a gratitude diary every morning would be a better process, or even producing a vision board. If you’re a painter, then paint your desires. If you’re a writer, write stories about your desires. Do what turns you on and makes you feel good, that is what will yield your desires.

Asking “where’s my stuff?” - Everyone at some point or another has done this. Me included. Whenever you ask where is your stuff, you immediately put yourself further apart from receiving it since you give your attention to not having it. Thinking about not having it, only creates more not having it.

Giving your attention to unwanted circumstances – When you give your attention to “real life”, you’re going to be giving your attention to things that please you and don’t please you. Your job is to focus your attention as much as possible on the things that do please you. By doing so, you’ll automatically become more aligned with your desires.

Follow your heart and follow your feelings. Make your decisions with your feelings and not with your mind. If it feels good, move towards it. If it feels bad, step away.

The reason I’ve written this case study post is because I’ve thought many of these thoughts before myself. I’ve been in positions where I felt I “needed” manifestations to happen, and they didn’t manifest. I’ve made tons of mistakes too and it took me a long time before I became any good at becoming a deliberate creator.

The above are just a few common problems myself and others have experienced along our journey. Hopefully you can relate to some of them and prevent them from happening again in your own manifestation journey.

The most powerful energy that I have ever experienced is love energy.

Love energy can yield incredible results when used towards your goals, instead of expressing yourself in a physical manner.

In my Manifest a Miracle book, I tell a story about a love relationship that I experienced that dramatically increased my manifestations when I was first starting out with deliberate creation.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re having a crush on someone or whether you’re seeing them as a partner, the energy you expel will be love energy (some people also call it sex energy) and it is this energy that can turn you into a manifestation magnet very quickly.

If you can sustain that love energy for a period of time, like a month or so, you will notice that within that time period, you will be attracting good people, places and circumstances automatically. That is what deliberate creation is all about… when you raise your vibration on purpose, you will attract good things and things that you have asked for.

Because love energy is so powerful and so strong, you won’t need to do much in the terms of getting your vibration into alignment, because you’ll already be at the top of the vibrational scale!

This is exactly what happened to me, without me truly realizing it at the time. I had turned myself into a manifestation magnet simply by being in love and expelling that love energy every single day. The more love I felt, the more things would go my way.

Getting yourself into this state of feeling pure love isn’t something that I’ve found you can switch on and off like a button. It can take quite some time to get into that place of pure love, and it can also take time to get out of that state.

When you’re in a position where love energy is easily accessible to you, you can begin to manipulate that energy and use it to create your desires.

For example. When I was feeling love energy, I would notice a warm burning sensation, that felt very nice, around my chest area. This feeling was the feeling that I got every single time I felt this type of energy flowing around my body. I noticed that I could actually use this energy and “call upon it” whenever I wanted to.

So, in a meditation or a visualization, I deliberately used this energy to get myself excited about my desires. One of my desires which was to manifest a new source of income, this manifestation happened within a couple of weeks and with barely any thought or effort about it on my behalf.

That manifestation most likely occurred because I was very much so in vibrational resonance with my desire. There was so little work for me to do to bring it into my experience, since I was feeling love energy every single day. And even to this day, that manifestation is one of my most beautifulest experiences I’ve been through.

For anyone reading this who is currently feeling a lot of love for their partner, a person they like, or their family, just know that you’re on the right path and the more you feel that energy every single day, the more in alignment you’re becoming.

The more alignment you get, the more manifestations show up and the better you become at being a deliberate creator.

Open your heart and feel it!

After joining my first ever spiritual mentoring group who discussed the Law of Attraction, I began to notice a wonderful pattern emerging…

Those who openly spoke about their goals to the group were getting their goals achieved. Those who did not open up and speak about what they were *trying* to manifest were not achieving much of anything… they were the people who had very little to contribute week after week.

Speaking about your goals and also speaking about what you are in the process of achieving really does have magnificent power. Not only do you get others believing in you and your goals, but you’re taking the first steps into making them tangible and bringing them into the physical.

I believe this is the same “magic” power that Napoleon Hill talks about with writing down your goals with pen and paper. In the first chapter of Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon makes it very clear that to achieve your desires, you must write them down onto paper first. It’s this first stage in making your desires tangible that is so important to the physical manifestation.

Most people dismiss this first important step because they cannot see the benefit of doing so. It’s the unseeable, untouchable, non-tangible benefits that you will most certainly receive from doing this step, not a physical benefit.

Let me give you an example of a desire that I’m working on at the moment that has become more and more real by simply speaking about it…

Earlier this year, I made the decision that I wanted to leave beautiful England and live out in Costa Rica. I visited Costa Rica last year and fell in love with the country and so, as I have no ties here in England, I set a goal to move to Costa Rica this year.

Around the time I formed this desire, I told a couple of personal friends only. As time grew on, and as I became more and more excited about the idea, I began telling more and more people about my move and even set a moving date. Within weeks of doing this, I’ve formulated a plan and attracted several wonderful contacts that will help me make this move as easy as it can be.

From being in a position where there were many uncertainties about this move, to speaking about my desires and attracting the right people I need to do it smoothly is where I have seen great benefit in being open with my desire.

Speaking your desires openly really does have a magic effect. Maybe its because others start believing in the idea too, or perhaps its just releasing the idea to the universe. I don’t know for sure, but what I do know is that those who are open about their desires and more likely to achieve them than the one’s who do not.

(For anyone interested in my Costa Rica movement… I’m leaving at the end of August this year and will be staying out there for a minimum of 3 months whilst I see whether its the place that I would like to live or not.)

If you’re looking for somewhere to express your goals and desires to make them public, feel free to let us all know what they are by posting them in a comment in this blog post.

Is it really possible to manifest money without thinking and focusing on it?

Doesn’t the Law of Attraction hear our thoughts and respond to them?

What we think is what we get, right?

But Mike Dooley said… “Thoughts become things.”

The above might be questions or thoughts you’ve had at one time or another…

To deliberately manifest something means that you must have at some stage put a thought out there about what it is that you want, otherwise you wouldn’t know you’ve deliberately manifested it.

Thoughts do play a part in the deliberate creation process. When you give birth to a new desire, you’re going to be thinking about what it is that you want. The first time this happens is when you send out a message to the universe. Remember though, the universe doesn’t hear your thoughts, it hears your vibration which is dominantly affected by your thoughts and emotions.

The question is, why would you need to keep thinking about your desire?

If the universe has heard your request, and it knows exactly what you want, why do you need to keep repeating the same thoughts over and over again?

Do you not think that the universe has enough space to keep track of what’s going on?

Perhaps the universal hard drive is full up with junk from other people, so it won’t hear my thoughts the first time?

Maybe the universe doesn’t have enough filing cabinets to store your desires too?

The obvious answer is that you don’t need to keep thinking about what you want. Your job is to get into alignment with the things that you want, but not to keep asking for them.

If petting your cat makes you feel good, then you’re going to be moving closer to receiving more money.

If meditating makes you feel good, then you’re going to be moving closer to receiving more money.

If visualizing a scenario in your mind makes you feel good, then you’re going to be moving closer to receiving more money.

The more you get yourself into alignment with your desires, the quicker and more manifestations you’re going to see. The more you deliberately feel good, the better it gets!

On the flip side of the coin…

If you focus on the debt and feel worried about it, then you’re moving away from receiving more money.

If you feel miserable that you’re alone and have not found your soul mate, then you’re moving away from receiving more money.

If you watch the news and feel bad about a murder, then you’re moving away from receiving more money.

Can you see how this works?

Your job is to get yourself into alignment with the things you say you’ve been wanting. You don’t have to think about money to receive more money. You can think about money and receive more money if thinking about it makes you feel good.

Anything you do that makes you feel good, is in alignment with money because money is something you consider to be good and so you’re a match to it.

None of this deliberate manifestation stuff is difficult. Feel good for the purpose of feeling good and watch abundance shower its way into your life.

Seriously!

I consider myself to be very open minded with everything new-age and all things considered spiritual. Some of the things I’ve been exposed to are a little bit too much for me to handle but one new-age method that I was introduced to really did have an effect on me.

It’s called Ascension Attunement. I know very little about this, but from what I’ve discovered so far, some people claim to have the ability of a tuning fork. They claim that they can sing high vibrational tones and if you’re exposed to them, you will become more aligned to the vibration.

I’m up for trying most things and I keep an open mind as I did when I went through a free ascension attunement course that my friend introduced me to.

After listening to Leela (the lady who’s made this course) sing for about 20 minutes, I noticeably felt different. I felt more at peace and more connected to source energy. Whether that happened because I was expecting something to happen, or that happened because of the actual sounds, I cannot prove either. But I DID feel different and I did enjoy the experience.

The second time I went through the same course I must have had about 10 waves of goose bumps come over me. That really did convince me that something was going on and that it was of benefit to me.

Here’s a taster video of the free course that I went through…
