The word ‘manifesting’ is used all over the place, it’s become a bit of a buzzword, but have you ever really stopped to think about what the word actually means?

Some people think that it means simply wishing for something, others feel that only a special type of person can manifest what they desire.

You Are A Powerful Manifestor

The fact is that each and every day YOU manifests things. You are a powerful manifestor, the only problem is that many people are often using their skills unconsciously, or want to deny how powerful they really are.

Each and every thought you have creates a flow of energy that communicates with the universe.

Your thoughts turn into actions, those actions have consequences (both positive, and not so positive), and those actions accumulate and create your life.

Some of your thoughts you have with clarity and purpose.

However many of your thoughts are playing out in your subconscious mind, and can often be thoughts that have been your default pattern for years, even decades. These are the thoughts that have been a part of your life for so long, that you have never known to question them, as they were learnt as a child from the people around you – this is why you often see repeating patterns in families.

It’s Far More Than Just Wishful Thinking

If you re-look at the definition of the word ‘manifest’, you can see that it has to do with clarity and action, this means that you are consciously choosing to create something, rather than letting your subconscious mind do what it has always done.

This is so much more than just wishing that something is a reality for you. Or thinking if you say an affirmation a few times and focus on the positive, that will be enough.

You have to be able to show the evidence of your efforts – and this means that you have to take action to bring your intentions into being. It also means that if you’re not getting the results you want, you have to be willing to put in the ‘work’ to dig deeper and uncover what is holding you back, and then be prepared to release or integrate the pattern. This is the only way to really manifest what you desire – and is most definitely not for everyone!

Align With The Moon

Although you might be wondering how you can show evidence and create what you want, there is a structured process, and as with most things in the universe it follows a rhythmic cycle, and the cycle happens to fit perfectly into the moons cycle of growth and release, of ebbing and flowing.

Of course you could do this without consciously working with the moon, however it’s so much easier to align with, and tap into the support of the moon, as it’s like supercharging your efforts, instead of feeling like you are ‘struggling against the tide’ and just hoping for your dreams.
