Enrollments open and I would love to walk this next chapter
with you. You can find all the details at
divinefemininecollective.com. OK, let's get in today's
episode. Today we are breaking down how
(01:25):
to manifest into 7 powerful steps.
My Seven Step Manifesting Formula is what you can use to
bring your deepest desires to life.
It's the formula I have been implementing for the last five
years and it has truly changed my life.
With this formula I have manifested new jobs, my babies
(01:45):
and gender and age order, aligned relationships, material
wants, all the things, and of course this podcast.
In this episode, I will be providing you with a high level
overview of each of these steps.Then I will be breaking down
each step into its own episode for you to listen to over a
seven day period. Without further ado, grab your
(02:08):
tea, light a candle, or step outside for a walk and let's go
into the woods together. The first step of the art of
manifestation is simple but crucial.
Get crystal clear on what you want.
The universe can't deliver what you desire if you're sending
mixed signals. Vague intentions lead to vague
(02:29):
results. Instead of saying if I want more
money, get specific. I am making $10,000 a month
doing work that lights me up. Instead of I want love, say I am
in a deeply loving, supportive relationship with my ideal
partner. Think about this step like Agps.
If you just type somewhere nice into the search bar, you won't
(02:53):
get anywhere specific. But when you input the exact
destination, the GPS maps the fastest route to get there.
Your desires work the same way. So when working through this
step and thinking about it and maybe even journaling about it,
you need to think about what youreally want.
Like close your eyes and ask yourself, if I can have, do or
(03:15):
be anything, what would I truly desire?
Now describe it in vivid detail.No dreaming small here.
Think the biggest you can, even if it feels unattainable right
now. I run a successful 8 figure
business that feels so aligned and allows me to live out my
purpose. I spend autumn and Italy every
(03:36):
year on my 1000 acre vineyard. Some big dreams may feel crazy
unattainable, but that's what we're talking about here is that
kind of a scale. It doesn't mean you have to
think about things like that. When we manifest, we can think
about really small things, but this is an opportunity to really
just for this first time of manifesting, just put all your
(03:58):
biggest dreams out on paper, maybe even create some kind of a
vision board. And then once you start
understanding how this formula works and implementing it, then
you can start using it on some of your smaller desires that
come up along the way. But for right now, we want to
dream super, super big and have some fun with this.
(04:19):
So that's the first step, getting clear.
Step 2 is about aligning your energy.
So once you're clear on what youwant, your next next step is to
align your energy with that version of you who already has
it. So this is where we are shifting
from hustle mode to receiving mode.
Manifestation isn't just about wanting something, it's about
(04:41):
becoming the person who naturally attracts it.
So if you remember from our lastepisode, your brain doesn't know
the difference between what's real and what's vividly
imagined. If you feel the excitement,
gratitude, and certainty of already having your desire, you
shift into alignment with it. Everything is energy.
(05:01):
Your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs emit a frequency.
So we have to think about what frequency you're on right now.
And if you're like, things just don't happen for me, you're
probably not on a frequency thatwould naturally shift you into
alignment with the thing you desire.
Do you want more abundance? But are you in a scarcity
(05:24):
mindset? Are you trying to trust that
things will happen, but you're just constantly afraid it won't?
Those are completely different frequencies.
And if you're trying to manifestthe abundance, the trusting the
process, but you've got these other lower frequencies going
on, you're never going to naturally attract what you want.
(05:45):
You're always going to stay in this lower vibe and never get
into that higher vibe that you need to.
So think of this step like tuning a radio.
If you're not on the right frequency, you won't receive the
station you desire because everything in the universe
vibrates on a certain frequency,including you.
When you raise your vibration through positive thoughts,
(06:07):
emotions, and actions, you attract experiences and
opportunities that match that energy versus if you're on that
lower frequency we just talked about, you're going to block the
flow of abundance in your life. So for this stuff, I want you to
visualize whatever it is you're desiring and if it is already
yours and really focus on what that that feels like.
(06:29):
I want you to focus on the emotion of it.
What is it going to feel like when you're living in your dream
house? What is it going to feel like
when you're with the love of your life?
What is it going to feel like when you wake up every day and
do whatever job, career that youhave that absolutely sets your
soul on fire? What does that feel like?
And I want you to just live in that feeling.
(06:52):
That's what this stuff is about.Because ultimately you don't
attract what you want, you attract what you are in
alignment with. So Step 3 is about removing
resistance and limiting beliefs.This is where people get stuck.
Subconscious resistance. Your desires are always
(07:12):
available, but if deep down you don't believe you're worthy or
you fear change, you will block them from coming through.
So let's say you're manifesting financial abundance, but you
grew up hearing money is hard tocome by or rich people are
greedy. That belief creates resistance.
So how do you shift out of that?First of all, we need to
(07:32):
identify these limiting beliefs.What stories or negative
thoughts are you telling yourself about this desire?
Now we need to reframe it. We need to rewrite our story.
You need to replace it with a new empowering belief instead of
money is hard to come by Affirm money flows to me effortlessly.
(07:53):
See how that already just feels different instead of I'm not
good enough shift to I am learning and growing every day
or simply I am enough because you are.
So this step is where I usually pull out my journal.
When I am feeling doubtful aboutsomething or like I need to work
(08:13):
through some fear or some story I've created for why I can't
have this thing that I want, I pull out my journal and I spend
some time working through what this limiting belief is and
ultimately getting to a point where I have created a new
empowering belief that can attract the desire that I want.
So you're going to write down a limiting belief you have and
(08:36):
replace it with a new one. You're going to rewrite your
story. You're going to say it out loud
daily. This is where we're going to
tell the truth and not a lie. This is where your affirmations
come into place. I am abundant.
I am enough. You're going to start saying
those things every single day and eventually you are going to
truly believe it. And when that happens, you are
(08:59):
going to attract what you desire.
But objectively, this is probably the hardest step for
everybody because it is really hard to admit that we are afraid
that we believe things that aren't true and to basically
break the cycle of these ideas that we've either been taught or
we've self-imposed. But once we eliminate these
(09:23):
limiting beliefs and breakthrough the resistance,
it's absolutely life changing. So that's step three-step 4 is
taking inspired action. This is for all the skeptics out
there who are like, this is woo woo, this energy stuff.
Like what are you talking about?Oh, I'm just going to will it
into existence. No, my friends, manifesting
(09:44):
isn't just about sitting back and waiting.
We have to take inspired action.So get out your To Do List.
This is where we start listing the tasks we need to do so the
universe meets you halfway. But you have to take the first
steps. The key is to follow your
intuition. Those nudges that feel exciting,
even if they scare you a little.So here, let's say you want a
(10:06):
new career. Send that e-mail, sign up for
the course, reach out to a mentor.
These small actions add up and show the universe that you're
ready. You're presenting yourself as
someone that wants this thing. And when you start doing these
little things that are showing interest, you will start
receiving exactly what you want in the process of obtaining your
(10:29):
desire. So when you think about this
step, think about what's one thing I can do today that aligns
with my desire. Step 5 is trusting and letting
go. I think this is the hardest step
because I am a control freak and, and believing that things
are just going to happen and just not worrying about the how
is really hard for me. But it is probably one of the
(10:52):
most important steps in the manifesting formula.
This is where people sabotage their manifestations.
You go through all this work, you get really clear about what
you want. You get on the energy and the
vibe of what you want. You're you're excited, you're
like, Oh my God, I cannot wait to have this thing.
You crushed your limiting beliefs.
They're not a problem for you anymore.
(11:13):
You're not a afraid, you're willing to accept what is
coming, and you are taking inspired action to make sure
this comes into existence. You're letting the universe know
that you're ready, and then now we just have to wait with
absolutely no timeline. No, this is going to happen in
this amount of time, completely surrendering to the universe and
(11:36):
just letting everything fall into place as it will.
This is where people can obsess over when and how it will
happen. And for those of us that are
type A and organized, this step is absolutely the hardest.
But manifesting requires trust. Your desire is already in
motion. You did all the things.
You did all the things to set itinto motion.
Just like you don't dig up everyseed that you plant every day to
(12:01):
check if it's growing. You have to let the universe do
its work. Don't worry about the how.
Trust the process. If you remain fixated on the how
or a specific path, all the other signs and opportunities
around you will go unnoticed andthose are likely to be what you
need to pay attention to in order to achieve your desire.
(12:24):
An example of this is I ask you to point out all of the red
things in the room. You're looking around, you can
see all the red things, and theninstead of me asking, you show
me the red things. I ask you where are all the blue
things? You weren't paying attention to
the blue things. You were so focused on the red
things that you're completely oblivious to all the blue
(12:45):
things. That's what happened.
When we get to focus on a specific way of doing something,
understand that you don't have to do it the same way someone
else did. You get to do it in a way that
feels could do you and by your own path.
So don't obsess about the how. Let the universe take over.
You did everything you needed toalready in these earlier steps.
(13:06):
Surrender and trust. Your mantra here is I trust that
what is meant for me is already mine.
The sixth step is follow the signs.
So the universe speaks to us in signs and we need to pay
attention to these signs. Random opportunities, repeated
numbers, unexpected messages. These are nudges guiding us
(13:30):
towards our manifestation. So for instance, you're
manifesting a new job and suddenly someone mentions an
opportunity out of nowhere. That's not random, it's
alignment. Here would be a really great
place to start a manifestation journal where you write down
signs that you notice. So for me, anytime I see a
butterfly cardinal or the number31, I know I'm on the right
(13:54):
path. And I see this stuff all the
time throughout the day. Almost every single time I look
at my phone, it says whatever the hour is and 31.
It happens all day long. And every time I see it, I know
my manifestations are into play and that everything is going
(14:14):
according to plan. So what I would do is I would
look for signs. There may be things that just
you've already noticed in your life that just naturally stick
out to you. You may have a favorite number
that you see all the time, whatever it is.
But what I would also do to justreally show you the power of
manifestation is I would pick a completely brand random sign on
(14:35):
top of signs that you may already see all the time that
feel good to you, and just see how often you notice it.
It is so powerful. And I would link this thing to
whatever it is that you're manifesting so that you know
when you see it that you can trust that the universe hears
you and that it is doing everything it can to help you
(14:56):
bring your manifestations to life.
The final step of the formula isembody and integrate.
Manifesting is than just about getting things.
It's about becoming the person who naturally attracts them.
So here's where you are going toimagine a version of you who
already has achieved your dreams.
(15:16):
What does this person do? How does this person feel?
What habits has this person developed?
Embodiment is the process of gradually merging your current
self with that empowered future self.
So how does the highest version of you live and how can you
embody that future self today? This can just feel amazing and
(15:41):
you need to start acting as if that person that has that thing.
For instance, you want a promotion in your job.
What would a person that is in that new role look like?
Act like you need to start embodying all of those
characteristics so that you can get that promotion.
You can't just sit by or give upand not become that person or
(16:04):
you're never going to get the promotion.
You need to embody all of the characteristics that would
precipitate you getting promoted.
So whatever it is that you're manifesting or desiring, you
need to become an energetic version of that person as you go
through these steps. So there we have it, my seven
(16:24):
step manifesting formula. It's not magic, it's alignment,
energy and trust. So these steps may feel like a
lot of work when it comes to manifesting your desires.
And maybe you didn't realize that manifesting was a multi
step, multifaceted process. But you're going to get to the
point very soon where a lot of these things are going to come
(16:48):
second nature to you. You may not even require a
journal to go through some of these items, whereas you may
always need to turn to a journalor a meditation in order to get
through some of these steps. But like anything, practice
makes perfect, and the more you practice something, the better
you get at it. If this doesn't happen
overnight, you are not alone. I have been working on this for
(17:11):
five years and while I can get through many of these steps
pretty instant, there are steps that I still struggle with and
especially depending on what it is I'm manifesting, may require
more work than something else required.
So just trust the process. It is going to be so
transformative, but don't stress, it's going to be
(17:33):
amazing. So for instance, the steps of
getting clear and aligning your energy with what you want, those
may come instantly. You may immediately be thinking
about what you want and you start feeling the feeling of
what it's going to be like to have that.
You may not have to journal about it at all, but you might
want to incorporate that manifestation into a vision
(17:56):
board. And so there's going to be a
little bit more work required for that.
Or you may want to write it downor really just dream really big
and just spend a few minutes writing and drawing or whatever
you're doing to really visualizewhat it is that you want.
And then naturally, the feeling of what you're going to feel
like when you have that thing isgoing to come up as you're
(18:18):
working on this. So these two steps, for
instance, may not require a lot of extra work, but then we get
to Step 3, meaning beliefs. Like I said, for some
manifestations, you don't have any limiting beliefs for this
particular item, but then there'll be other things that
you're working through where youreally need to sit with it.
(18:38):
And it may take a bit of time toreally rewrite your story for
that manifestation that this limiting belief is existing you
from obtaining. But like I said, eventually a
lot of this is going to become second nature.
And when that happens, you will be a master manifester.
When you can immediately start getting in the vibe, embodying
(19:00):
the person that has the thing that you want, crushing your
limiting beliefs, doing all the things, then you will become a
master manifester. For some, that may happen a lot
sooner than others, but this is your individual journey and so
you have to do it feels good to you and through each time you
manifest throughout the years, it's going to get easier and
(19:24):
there's going to be time when it's harder and easier, but you
will be just fine. But I just wanted to give that
quick, just little ending so that as we go into these
episodes where I get into more detail about each of the steps,
I just want to give you some confidence that even though this
feels like a lot, practice makesperfect and it's all going to to
(19:47):
naturally come to you at some point.
And at the end of the day, learning how to manifest and
learning how to manifest well isgoing to open so many doors for
you. It's going to transform your
life. It's going to help you maximize
your life. It's going to help you bring
your biggest desires into reality, which is all we could
ever ask for in this life that we have.
(20:08):
And because we have the life that we know right now.
We should have everything that we want and we should be as
happy as we want while we are here.
So I'm excited for the upcoming episode and going through each
step in more detail. As is our practice on this
podcast. Expect a really awesome
(20:28):
meditation at the end of each episode so that we can really
understand what we've just learned.
And it really is going to give you an opportunity to journal
out and work through that step in a very tangible way than just
listening to me talk and not taking any kind of action to
(20:48):
really understand the practice and actually practice the
practice. So I am so excited and I will
see you guys soon. If today's episode stirred
something in you, my courses areopen for enrollment and ready to
support your journey. All the details are at
