“Why isn’t the Law of Attraction working for me?” This cry of frustration is uttered often by people who are learning to consciously create better lives using the Law of Attraction. After spending weeks trying to raise their vibration, focus their minds and bring forth a better reality, they can’t understand why they’re not seeing results.
Does this describe you? Have you raised your eyes to the heavens and demanded to know why the Law of Attraction isn’t working for you? Or perhaps you’ve resigned yourself to one of these deadly beliefs:
“It seems to work for other people, but I just can’t get it right.”
“I must be doomed to failure.”
“I knew it wouldn’t work, but at least I tried.”
“I’m such an idiot; why do I keep getting sucked into these ridiculous schemes?”
“God must really hate me.”
Well, wipe those destructive thoughts right out of your mind! Seriously, they won’t serve you a bit, though I can understand why you’re tempted to believe them – I’ve been there too!
Here’s the good news: the Law of Attraction IS working for you. It works all the time, every time, without exception. If you’re not seeing the results you want, the time has come to ask yourself what you’re putting out there that is attracting similar energy back into your life.
Before you get angry at me for telling you you’re “doing it wrong,” please understand that you’re probably NOT doing it wrong – but there may be one or two things you’re doing that are creating resistance, which slows down your results.
Skim down this list of the most common ways we hinder the Law of Attraction from delivering what we want, and compare them carefully with your own habitual thoughts and feelings:
INDECISION
Do you have a clear vision of exactly what you want? Perhaps you aren’t picky, you just want things to be “better” than they are now, whatever that ends up looking like. However, the Universe doesn’t want you to settle for “something good,” but instead attract EXACTLY what you desire!
What do you desire? Take some time to think about the facets of your life. Think about your job, financial status, relationships, health, body size, vehicle, residence, and more. Are all of these things an accurate reflection of what you would create if you could start over? Make a detailed list of EXACTLY what you want to create for yourself. Write down every tiny aspect you can think of. Then read this list frequently to keep your vision sharp and clear in your mind.
UNWORTHINESS
Do you REALLY believe you deserve the things on your list? What makes you so special that you deserve abundant health, wealth and happiness? That’s not a rhetorical question. I’m really asking, what makes you so special? Don’t have an answer? How about this: you exist. Someone breathed you into existence and infused you with all these desires, and for what? Why would your desires exist if you weren’t meant to experience them?
Until you can understand just how special and unique you truly are, you might resist the abundance and joy the Universe is offering you. Embrace your true worth as a human being and let it be a shining example for all to see. Empower others (and yourself) with the knowledge that they too can create better lives.
DISTRUST
Some of us have a skewed view of the Universe (or God, if that term resonates with you). From an early age, we’re taught that we have to comply with certain guidelines and behavioral rules – or else. We see the Universe as some angry force that will deliver a wrath of misery upon us if we do something wrong. It’s no surprise that most of us end up feeling like we’re walking on eggshells. We actually EXPECT bad things to happen because we’ve developed such a negative view of the powers that be. We’re afraid to ask for what we really want because we might be viewed as greedy, ungrateful or selfish. We’re afraid to hope for something better because we might get a lightning bolt up the wazoo.
How about turning this belief around? We can just as easily believe in a loving Universe, one that wants us to do well, be happy, and feel abundant. Rather than approaching the Universe with the mind-set of a scolded child, why not step forward confidently and joyfully and claim ownership of what is already yours? Believe me, the Universe will applaud you for doing so, and reward you beyond your wildest dreams.
DOUBT
Even if you WANT to believe that the Law of Attraction really works, you might be holding back somewhat to protect yourself from disappointment. If you don’t give it your “all,” you think it won’t hurt so badly when it doesn’t work out. However, doubt is like a big old rubber doorstop that prevents the gateway of prosperity from opening. You affirm, you visualize, you get clear, and the gate begins to swing inward, creating a crack through which shimmering golden light shines forth. You begin to step forward into your glorious new reality, when “bump!,” — oops, never mind, there’s a doorstop there and the gap isn’t big enough to let you through. Oh well, better luck next time.
Think of FAITH as the oil that keeps the hinges on the gates of prosperity operating smoothly. If you keep the hinges lubricated and the gates free of any obstructions (doubts) – they will swing right open and you’ll be dazzled by what you see on the other side.
DISBELIEF
No matter how badly you want something, if you don’t believe it’s possible, you will resist it. Perhaps you’ve set some lofty goals for yourself, things that almost seem too good to be true. Perhaps you want to be a millionaire, but you’re currently earning $15,000 per year. Or you want to meet your soulmate, but you long ago convinced yourself that he or she doesn’t exist. Turning these negative beliefs around is CRUCIAL to attracting your desires!
For every limiting belief you hold, I want you to take a blank sheet of paper and come up with ten reasons why your desires are POSSIBLE. It’s important to make the reasons believable and logical. For example, “It’s possible for me to become a millionaire because other people have done it, and some of them started with less than what I have now!” Or, “It’s possible that my soulmate exists because I simply haven’t met every person on the planet yet. He or she might be searching for me even as I search for him/her!”
Keep repeating these reasons to yourself, until you are absolutely CONVINCED that your desires are indeed possible.
DUALITY
Do your day-to-day thoughts, feelings, and actions paint a very different picture than the affirmations and visualizations you project? Are you affirming your financial prosperity while at the same time worrying about your bills? Both realities CANNOT co-exist in your life. Either you’re prosperous, or you’re not. Either you’re successful, or you’re not. Either you’re healthy, or you’re besieged by aches and pains.
At every possible moment, you need to let go of your old reality – even if it means pretending that the symptoms of lack, struggle, and illness do not exist. At the very beginning, it will be a challenge to do this fully, but if you keep at it day after day, repeatedly turning your attention to thoughts of wellness, abundance, and joy, and focusing less on lack, struggle, and illness, you begin to shift your reality to what you focus on the most.
FEAR
Perhaps you’re claiming to want something better, but you also fear it on a deeper level. If you want to be a best-selling author but you fear publicity and fame, guess what happens? You resist the formation of such a reality in your life because it makes you uncomfortable. If you want to be financially abundant but you worry about what others would think of you, resistance is woven throughout your desire for more money. In effect, you’re asking for something but also pushing it away at the same time.
One good way to overcome these fears is by facing them on paper. Ask yourself how you would handle people who thought poorly of you for being wealthy. “I’d tell them to mind their own business,” might be one response, or “Their opinions of me don’t affect my life one way or the other” would work nicely also. If you get clear about your fears, you’ll realize that most of them are irrational or irrelevant. Even the ones that hold merit, however, can be worked through and your resistance will dissolve in the light of clarity and purpose.
FORCE
You watched the movie, “The Secret,” or read a great book about the Law of Attraction, and now you’re all fired up! You’re SO DETERMINED to change your life that you proceed full steam ahead. You begin religiously reciting affirmations and performing meditations and visualizations and feeling good at every possible opportunity. After a week or two nothing has happened, so you increase the intensity of your efforts. You start meditating not just for 15 minutes a day, but for two hours a day. Your affirmations become a litany of desperation to make something happen. Still no results, so you work harder, and harder, and HARDER at it – until finally you scream in frustration, utterly exhausted from trying so hard.
Lighten up! I know, that’s easier said than done when you’re not happy with your current reality. But seriously, the harder you “try,” the worse it’s going to get. Back off, relax, and just let it happen when it’s going to happen. The more relaxed and joyful you can be about the process, the more quickly your desires will come forth.
FRUSTRATION
Speaking of frustration – it’s yet another way we hinder the Law of Attraction. When we feel frustrated, we emit an unmistakable signal to the Universe that acts as a beacon to attract more situations to be frustrated about!
Remember the importance of FEELING GOOD! Why is it so important? Because of the signal it puts out to the Universe. The more you feel good, the more you attract situations and experiences that will help you to feel good. I know it’s challenging to feel good when things aren’t going the way you want, but it’s so important to do so anyway! FIND things that make you feel good, and do them as often as possible. It is so, so, SO important! If you have a few moments of frustration here and there, don’t sweat it too much, just do what you can to have MORE moments of feeling good than you do of feeling frustration. It will make an incredible difference.
And finally, the Number One way we hinder the Law of Attraction:
IMPATIENCE
Most of the people I hear uttering the weary cry above (Why isn’t the Law of Attraction working for me?) haven’t been working at it for long. Perhaps a few weeks, maybe even a few months. Believe me, I know the feeling of desperation to get things moving in a more positive direction, but it takes time!
Remember that we’re constantly experiencing a RESIDUAL effect of our PAST thoughts, feelings and beliefs. It’s unrealistic (though understandable) to want to change it all overnight. But it’s not going to happen that quickly most of the time.
Simply do what you can to stay positive and keep up with the activities that will attract something better in the future. Be gentle with yourself, and know that this too shall pass. And in the very near future, when you really begin to see this force shifting the circumstances of your reality before your eyes, WOW – you’ll be so glad you stuck with it through the tough spots!
The journey is worth it in the end, believe that.

Have you ever found yourself hanging in limbo, waiting for something you desperately want – no, NEED – to manifest, but it’s just not happening no matter what you do?
You visualize, you imagine, you affirm, you believe – and yet it’s still not coming. So you visualize a bit harder, more often, more intensely. You keep believing with all of your might that it’s coming soon. You start seeing “signs” and synchronicities everywhere you go – and you are SO SURE it’s getting ready to break through – but it STILL doesn’t happen!
Day after day you keep wondering if there’s something else you’re supposed to do to make it happen, some magical incantation you can recite to hurry things along. You wonder if you’re doing something to hold it back without meaning to, so you start analyzing your every move, every affirmation, every picture in your mind. But all of it seems to be in order. You can’t think of a single thing that you might be doing wrong.
This is a familiar situation to most conscious creators! In fact, you are probably nodding your head vigorously as you read this. Most of us have been there at least once or twice – some of us a lot more than that. It’s a frustrating place to be, that’s for sure. But what is really happening when you find yourself stuck like that?
In my experience, it usually means that I’m trying to hurry things along. Either I really need what I’m trying to attract, or I’m depending on it to arrive by a certain time or I will face possible negative consequences. Not surprisingly, the longer it seems to take, the more frustrated I get. You can probably identify with that.
But if there is one thing I’ve learned along my journey to conscious creation, it’s that you can’t hurry manifestation. (Or love, ha!) The very mind-set of “NEEDING” something to happen by a certain date will most certainly delay it. Need, desperation, frustration, exasperation, agitation, stress, disappointment – they are all SURE precursors to blockages.
When you find yourself in this type of situation, there is only ONE thing to do: LET GO.
Be okay with not getting what you want right away. Be okay with things staying as they are.
I know that’s easier said than done, but strangely there is also a certain sense of peace that comes along with giving up the fight. When you’ve been trying to FORCE something to happen quickly, you are expending a LOT of mental and emotional energy! As a result you end up feeling worn out and depleted.
On the other hand, surrendering to the universe’s higher wisdom and letting go inspires a sense of calm detachment and peace in the present moment. You realize that you’re still okay, even without this thing you want so desperately.
Letting go does not mean you won’t get what you want. It means you are choosing to know that you’re okay without it right NOW. It means that the arrival of it will be a great bonus, but your inner peace and well-being are not dependent upon it.
More often than not, we look to our outer circumstances to determine whether our intentions are working or not, but the outer clues don’t always tell the full story. What we can’t see is all of the energy and magnetism we’ve already built up in the invisible. We can’t see that our desire is getting ready to break through – and it WILL break through, unless we begin creating blockages that prevent it from doing so.
Yes, our very feelings of desperation and frustration are what create the blockages! The longer we stay in that frustrated mind-set, the longer we’re going to delay the arrival of what we want.
The next time you find yourself hanging in limbo between wanting something desperately and noticing you do not yet have it – STOP and LET GO. Just let go. Turn it over to the universe. Be okay with not having it. You can still visualize having it, you can still believe it’s coming. But DETACH from any need to have it RIGHT NOW.
In my experience, this is often the missing key needed to pull it into physical reality.

Enhance your power to manifest the life of your dreams using these ten creative methods:
1) Keep the end in mind. Ask yourself, what specific quality of life will the object of my desire bring to me? Why do I want this? Will it bring more Love, Harmony, Joy, Peace, Wisdom or Prosperity? Once you identify your real goal, do your best to assimilate that quality without the object and you will be deliberating achieving a vibrational harmony with the object you desired in the first place. When you acquire vibrational harmony or magnetic sameness with your desire – the object of your desire or something better HAS to come into your life – for it is the Law!
2) Identify what you want. The number one rule to Manifesting your Dreams is to “keep your eye on the ball.” The Universe does not process negatives – only energy. Therefore the question to ponder is “What do I want?” The question is NOT “What do I not want?” except to identify more of what you DO want.
3) Expect your dreams to come true. Expectation propels your desire and opens the runway for your dreams to land quickly, easily and gently. Additionally, with expectation as your fire, you will be less likely to run out of “desire fuel”!
4) Imagine it in the now. Imagine how it FEELS to have what you desire RIGHT NOW! Abraham through Jerry and Esther Hicks says, “Your point of attraction is now.” Therefore, whatever you are feeling and focused upon right now is what you are in vibrational harmony with and are attracting into your life.
5) Be energy efficient – be conscious of your “energy.” Keep in mind that like energy attracts like energy – therefore “what you sow you shall reap.” Feeling the lack of something only attracts more “lack of that something.” On the other hand, deliberately choosing positive feelings and focal points will keep you in alignment with your desires.
6) Maintain a laser focus on what you want. Give it your attention. Use tools such as setting goals, writing and repeating affirmations, visualization, gratitude journalizing, creative collage, treasure mapping, creation wheels and meditation. Relax, listen to yourself, state the affirmation and visualize the accompanying action and feeling. Remember, “Wherever you go, there you are!” – therefore, BE mentally and emotionally where you want to GO physically.
7) Be unattached. Maintain your desires but be unattached to the specifics of the outcome. Never limit the Universe by being disappointed if it isn’t in your life right now or isn’t coming as fast as you think it should. Be careful of being attached to the how, when, where, and who details. Turn it over to God and release your dream with statements such as “This or something better is manifesting in my life right now. I let it go and prepare to receive my good.” ALLOW the universe to let it flow to you easily!
Go on an appreciation rampage and preserve an attitude of gratitude. Relish the moment and be appreciative of all that you have. Be aware of every opportunity that comes your way and honor where you are on your path. Look at each experience as neither good nor bad, but as an opportunity to learn and grow. Don’t scold yourself when you make a mistake. Develop an affirmative statement describing your correct performance in the present tense, and allow your light to shine! See through the eyes of love. Choose to live in joy and spread it to all you meet!
9) Let Go of the past and follow your heart! Once and for all. Release the fears and prejudices that come from previous experiences. “Heaven’s not beyond the clouds; it’s just beyond our fears.” Regret and fear are the thieves that rob us of today. Accept responsibility for your life. Know that there are no victims. This means really forgive and forget, live without opinions, throw out your old baggage and live fully present in the moment at hand while following your heart’s guidance and desires for tomorrow. Your heart will never speak in fear – only in love. Follow your heart and you will have all that you desire.
10) Dream big! Ask for more than you “need.” You are the child of a rich father in heaven – claim your Divine birthright to unlimited Prosperity, Peace, Joy, Love and Harmony. Ask for all that you desire (in alignment with your values) and have the faith to relax and enjoy the journey. “I tell you the Truth, If ye have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, move from here to there: And it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20

Here is a question we may all ask at one point in time or another, “Why am I manifesting the ‘little’ things while waiting for the bigger?” It seems as though the things we really want take forever and are more difficult to manifest while the things we don’t care that much about materialize almost instantly.
Why is it easier for the Universe to give us banana cake but not the prosperity to purchase all the banana cakes we could ever desire? Why is it easier for the Universe to give us a book on leadership, just because we’ve been thinking about it, but not the executive-level promotion that we’ve wanted to actually apply that leadership?
The error lies in my question. It’s not that the Universe ‘gives’ us anything more easily than something else. It’s that our level of belief is pure with one creation and contaminated with the other. The laws of creation are always working on the same consistent, immutable and impersonal laws of physics day in and day out, without regard to the magnitude of the physical mass of the desired object.
However, most of us don’t have a whole lot of attachment to whether we get ‘princess parking’ but we do have a whole lot of attachment to whether or not we win that lottery, get our mortgage paid, or put food on our kid’s table!
Here’s what you can do to start making the BIG creations as easy and effortless as the little creations: Practice the Law of Detachment. It’s easy to manifest a cappuccino, unless of course we are dying of thirst!
It’s easy to manifest something. unless of course we fear that if we don’t get it, we will never be happy, be a failure, die unfulfilled, etc. These are just a sampling of the limiting beliefs that most of us share to some degree.
When we feel ‘afraid’ we know we are attached. When we are attached to the outcome, we cannot manifest it easily because vibrationally we are simply not in alignment with that creation. Therefore, the first step in manifesting the ‘bigger’ things easier is to detach from the outcome. This feels like truly making peace with what is:
“I am at peace with whatever happens. I know that all is well and in Divine Order.”
It feels like being willing to never have what you want:
“I am willing to trust that the Divine has my best interest in mind and therefore, if it’s meant to be that I never ‘get this’, then so be it. I trust in the Divine.”
It feels like being willing to have all that you want:
“I am willing to have my desire fulfilled in Divine Order and Divine Timing now.”
If you continue to feel afraid to let go, then you will need to use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), meditation, visualizations and/or affirmations until you can be at peace with letting it go and trusting in the Divine.
Being at peace does NOT mean resigning yourself to not having what you want. Here’s your distinction – resignation feels hopeless while peace feels hopeful.
If you feel despondent or any shade of sad or negative, then you are still attached. Continue working your ‘thoughts and emotions’ around until you can be at PEACE.
The second thing you can do is to start handing more of the bigger things over to God (the Big U, the Divine).
It is not your responsibility to ‘make things happen’ it is God’s. Let spirit do its job and get out of the way. It’s okay to command and demand; let the Universe know that you want a relationship and you expect it now.
Tell the Divine that you fully expect wealth immediately and then prepare to receive it. (This takes some practice but you’ll like the results – SAY to this MOUNTAIN MOVE and it will!)
The third thing you can do is to get clear about what you really want. Most of the time our big dreams are overarching ideas without very many details. We spend very little time and attention actually developing the vision of what this ‘dream’ would look like in our lives. The Big U gives us bits and pieces of our Big-Dream-Vision because that’s all we ever order. Sit down, write out what you want, and create a Masterpiece – not a stick figure!
If you will practice detachment, hand more of your ‘to-do’ list over to God and add detail, specifics, and fine brushstrokes to your masterpiece, then your bigger dreams will show up with great ease with every day.
You are a Divine Child of God, start acting like it!

Manifesting is the process by which your thought becomes things in your reality. Whether it is something you really, really want or something you really, really fear, manifesting, through the law of attraction will work. Events will unfold so that it will lead the way to the materialization of the object of your attention.

Be mindful of the things in your mind for your thoughts can work for you or against you. Deliberately create your present and your future by consciously directing your thoughts towards your desires. Here are some simple steps to manifesting what you want.

1. Know what you truly want. If you know what you truly want, your heart, mind and soul are one with your desire. You can give your undivided attention to this particular goal.

2. Keep the end in mind. Have a very clear vision of the end result of your desire. Make it as vivid as if it is really there with you. See it, hear it, feel it, smell it or taste it. It is not your job how it will be manifested; your job is to envision what will be manifested.

3. Cooperate. Make your actions congruent with your desires. Recognize opportunities and grab them.

4. Pretend you have it and give thanks. Play the game of pretend. Give thanks like you already have what you want and it will indeed come to you.

Remember to let go of all control once you have done your job. Know that one way or another, sooner or later, you will receive what you have asked. Frustrations and negative attitudes will just delay the manifestations of your desire, so relax and trust that it is coming.

Consciously choose the path you wish to take. Deliberately create your experiences. Once in a while, life may throw something bitter at you, but stop for a moment before you react. Ask yourself, “Is this really as bitter as it looks, or does it hide something better?”

The word “manifesting” means to make something tangible or readily perceived by the senses especially by sight (this is according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary). The word can be applied in many ways depending on the context. For our purpose, manifesting can be applied because we want to materialize our desires, goals & dreams that only take their forms in our minds.

Oh no, this will not give you the power to control other people because nobody can do that. Each of us was given a free will and we should use that will to make conscious choices so that we will reach our highest potential.

Manifesting is a way of empowering us. It enables us to take charge of our lives instead of just leaving it to chance and fate. It gives us the power to transform our thoughts into something that is real & material to us. If you keep thinking about money, a picture of a dollar bill or a check will come into your mind. Sooner or later this will become an experience for you in your reality. You might see a dollar bill on a billboard or hear someone talk about money. Of course if you only see it or hear about it but not own it, it is of no use to you. You might as well try another way of manifesting it.

Although manifesting is a gift intended to grant our wishes, it will work against us if we do not make a conscious choice of what we are going to manifest. We can manifest even if it is something we do not want as long as we keep the thought of that object or idea in our mind.

Manifesting is an amazing gift that wields power to fulfill our deepest desires as well as our greatest fear, so use it wisely…

How often do you perform manifestation exercises?  Daily?  If not, you should be.

By manifestation exercises, I mean visualizing and intending to have the object or experience, as well as spending time feeling as though you already have it.

Many people greatly underestimate the power of consistency in manifestation.  They’ll complain that it’s not working, they’re not making progress, and when I ask what they are doing to attract what they want, they say, “I’ve asked for it and visualized it a few times.”

But that alone isn’t enough in most cases.  There is much more to be done after asking.

Instead they ask once and keep waiting and waiting and waiting, and it never shows up.

Or they go in the opposite direction and obsessively beg the universe for what they want, over and over again.

That doesn’t work well either.  You don’t have to ask more than once or beg for what you want, no matter what you want to bring into your life.  As long as you are super clear about it and you’ve communicated your desire to the universe, your order is in process, so to speak.

But that’s just the beginning.  Now your job should be to immediately start working to bring yourself into alignment with being able to receive it.  That means getting more and more comfortable with the thought of having this object or experience in your life.  If it’s a lot of money, that means visualizing and acting as if you already have a lot of money.  Or a wonderful relationship.  Or a dream home.  Or whatever else you’re currently working on manifesting. 

You need to try it on for size and wear it for awhile each day.  You can do this mentally through visualization, emotionally through feeling affirmations (feeling as if you have it now), and even physically as you walk around in your daily experiences, acting and moving like the person you will be when your new reality unfolds.

You do all this not because it brings your desire closer, but because it moves YOU into a state of mind and emotion where you can easily receive what you want.  It alters your vibrational frequency so that you are right there with whatever you’re trying to manifest.

In fact, this vibrational harmony or disharmony is why some manifestations come slowly and others come faster – have you ever noticed that?

You can manifest something almost instantly if you are in line with it vibrationally.  One day I needed to find a purse to match the outfit I was going to wear to my cousin’s wedding, and I drove all over the city looking for one.  But no one had one like I wanted.  I was ready to give up and buy anything just so I could go home, but I decided to try to manifest exactly the purse I wanted.  Sitting in my car in the parking lot of a store I just left, I closed my eyes and visualized the purse I wanted to find.  Color, size, shape, material, strap length; all the details were crisp and clear in my mind.  Then I asked the universe to help me find it.

I started the car and was ready to move on to another store, but instead I got an urge to go back into the store I had just left.  I argued with the universe, “It’s not in there, I already checked.”  But I couldn’t shake the feeling that I should go back inside.  So I did.  But this time I was led to the Junior’s department instead of the Women’s.  And there among all the clothing racks was a small rack of hats and purses – including one exactly like I had just visualized.

Manifesting that purse was effortless because I was already in the vibrational state that would allow me to have it.  I wasn’t blocking it with limiting beliefs or trying to control how it came into my life.  I followed where I was led and poof, there it was.

But I’ve also had other manifestations take years.  Literally years, because I was too out of line to receive them.  It has nothing to do with the size or magnitude of what you’re trying to attract; only whether or not you are in vibrational harmony with it.

So working on your frequency daily is VITAL to the process if you want to receive it quickly.  Make manifestation exercises part of your daily routine.  Do them first thing in the morning or before you go to bed at night, or any time in between.  But be sure to do them consistently.

1. Reflection. Start with a reflection of what you wish to manifest. Ask yourself if this is what you really want. Some people tend to wish haphazardly. While I do not doubt that you will eventually get what you wish and the universe will not complain with all the orders you send, the fulfillment of your wish may cause some negative effects in your life. It may cause you grief, unhappiness & frustration. So before writing down your order, reflect on it first. If you are just starting out, make some simple wishes.

2. The illusion of control. Another thing to keep in mind before you start manifesting is avoid making a wish where you wish to take control of someone else’s life. Each one of us has been granted a free will, to attempt to control another person is a clear violation of that person’s right. Imagine how it would feel if you were manipulated by another person.

More so, if you maintain a thought of becoming in control you will end up becoming controlled yourself. The more you keep obsessing a thing or a person, the more you will be controlled such that all your decisions, choices and actions are made with much consideration of that thing. Even if you know that you will not benefit from that action, you will still do it if you think it is a way of controlling the situation.

3. All creations start with a thought. It originates in the mind. Nothing can be made without it being visualized in the mind first. Once you start to think a thought and put a very powerful emotion with it, it is already a combination that will start a chain reaction towards its fulfillment. No this is not to say that it will just assemble itself into something tangible, its creation will come about by a set of orchestrated designs through opportunities. So open your self to opportunities, do not hold on to a design on how it should be done.

4.The subconscious. Our mind has 3 levels of consciousness. The one we are in when we are awake is the conscious mind. The conscious mind is filled with active thoughts passing every second. If you have noticed, there is never a moment that your mind is not thinking. We think all the time and the quality of these thoughts has a profound effect on our entire life. Most people’s thoughts is on problems & lack, no wonder most people at poor, over stressed & over worked.

The 2nd level is the subconscious mind. The subconscious is the gateway to the realization of your creation. Whatever thought it is fed will become the reality of that person. The subconscious operates when the mind is relaxed such as during meditation or hypnosis. It is the principle being used in self-improvement or to treat smoking through hypnosis. In hypnosis, the subject is put into a trance. In this state, the conscious mind is at rest making the subject open to suggestions.

The subconscious will accept anything that it is being fed. Even during waking hours, the constant repetition of a thought will cause it be embedded or retained by the subconscious mind. Constantly thinking of lack coupled with constant complains & verbalization of lack will lead the subconscious to a belief that there is indeed lack. You will create what you always think about. Lack = lack. Lack cannot be equal to abundance.

You do not need to be in a relaxed mind in order to program yourself for lack. You know why? Because most of us made a habit of thinking only this negative thought. In addition to that, we affirm it daily with our complaints and power it with emotions of frustrations. On the other hand, a positive thought is just so hard to believe in the midst of our conceived reality. If we so believe in the present reality, it is hard to think abundance without saying “Yeah right!”

5. Openness. Whatever you desire will be manifested in ways which you may not expect or planned. Your job is just to make known what you want to manifest, how it is going to be manifested is the job of the universe, God or whatever power you conceive the “source” to be. You can only think of one, two or three ways but the “source” can find or design so much more. So be open and do not limit yourself to what is present in your reality.

6. Giving. In order to receive you, must give. The mechanism that triggers the act of receiving your desires is the act of giving. If you give more, you are creating a consciousness of “having more” because you are giving. The “having more” consciousness will manifest in your reality as abundance.

7. Let Go. I have read that manifesting is like planting a seed. If you keep on digging it to check on its development, it will never grow. Seeds need to be planted on a good soil, watered frequently, given sunlight & be allowed to grow. Same with a wish, once you have already sent it out let it manifest on its own. Give it the time to grow and become what it is suppose to be.

8. Give thanks. Make a habit of giving thanks for whatever you receive, however small. A certain author of a book mentioned that whenever she had to write a check to pay her bills she would put a message of thanks because she can pay her bills. Be grateful for the things you receive & be grateful for the things you have to give. Most of all, be grateful for the things you can conceive with your mind even if you cannot conceive it with your senses yet.

Manifesting is a wonderful gift to help us achieve our ultimate potential. History has shown us the men & women who achieved more than we thought possible. They were not specially favored; the only difference is that they know how to use the power of their minds. This knowledge had been known for centuries & had been used to attract success & abundance. Whether you are experiencing small successes or none at all, manifesting is at your disposal you only have to choose.

How does one determine how often to use manifesting exercises?
Question: I read the Q & A about the number of times to manifest – you said only ask once).
Must I wait until I receive what I have manifested before I manifest something else? I am asking this because Dr Anthony Robins suggests doing a manifesting exercise every day?
A. The concept of asking once comes from the idea that if we ask more than once it means we don’t believe. And, since absolute certainty and pure belief are necessary ingredients for conscious creation, repeatedly asking for the same thing over and over again and not ‘believing’ is detrimental to the rapid materialization of our desire.
The intention is to ask and let it go with absolute certainty because the big U (Universe) knows what you want now. All you have to do is get out of the way and allow it to occur.
However, what if you ask once and don’t actually believe? Then what you want will not manifest.
When you become aware that your level of belief is not 100% certain, ask again and again until it is. I’m a firm believer in daily manifestation exercises not because the Universe can’t remember what I asked for previously but because it supports me in increasing my belief. You see, we are asking over and over again not for the Universe but for ourselves.
I write down my top 6 goals for life every day. I do this not because the Creative Mechanism didn’t hear me yesterday or the day before but because the activity supports me in aligning my daily actions with my life intentions. This one activity supports me in remembering what I want and walking a congruent line with what I say is important. At any moment I can look at what I’m doing and ask myself, “is this aligned with my top 6 goals for life?” If the answer is no, then I can immediately choose to course correct.
Additionally, since there are certainly times when I don’t really believe, the more I focus upon my big dreams and concentrate on my willingness to detach and have faith, the more I increase my belief. When I get to a place of pure belief, what I want must manifest.
You also asked, “Must I wait until I receive what I manifested before I manifest something else?”
The answer is no! And, the truth is you couldn’t do it this way even if you wanted to. We are constantly attracting and can’t stop! With estimates of anywhere from 12,000 to 65,000 thoughts per day, we are constantly creating. Our work is to become more and more conscious of the quality of our thoughts in order to intentionally direct our lives.
The key to creating the ‘big dreams’ is launch your desires with enthusiasm and simply monitor your level of faith and certainty. When your belief that what you want is equivalent to your belief that the sun will rise tomorrow, then you know your conscious creation exercises are complete.
In the mean time, go ahead and plant an abundant crop of dreams with as many intentional seeds of desire as possible. The Universe will deliver to you that which you are aligned with each and every day. Pay attention and you’ll discover that there are things that you manifested intentionally with very little effort.
The harvest of these quick manifestations will serve as your beautiful reminder that you are indeed a powerful creator. Use these victorious moments of conscious creation as reasons to trust and believe in yourself; use the fruits of your day to encourage you to continue in the pursuit of your big dreams with ever increasing faith and confidence that you are on your Divine Right path, right now!
