4 steps to manifesting for free

There has been a lot in interest in the last year on what is called ‘cosmic ordering’ which basically means putting your request out to the Universe, God or whatever your belief system encompasses and waiting for it to turn up. In personal development circles the idea of manifestation – which is what is was called before it got a cool title and sold a lot of books – has been around for a long time. It relies on the fact that what you think about, and put energy into, is what you attract. On the simplest level, if you are single you tend to see happy couples everywhere, if wanting a family you see babies and children wherever you go. You haven’t consciously thought about it, there are no more couples, babies and children than there ever were – you are just focused on noticing them. I have used manifestation many times in my life from wanting to find the perfect place to live to wanting to go on a cruise – though I might have overdone it on that one this year as I have just been booked to speak on my 6th one! It’s not difficult, and if you have something you want to manifest in your life let me offer you – free – a simple four point plan to help you do it. The only thing that you need is a pen and a notebook and a commitment to follow this exercise every day for at least 30 days, or until you get your result. It usually happens well within that time frame, but let’s start out being realistic. What you are doing is creating your future – actually something you do every day anyway but this way you are doing it with a conscious intent to produce something you really want.

Step 1: Open the notebook and you are going to write down what is it that you want to create, and how you feeI about it. For example, given the state of the economy you might want to create some more money in your life. It is important you write in the present tense as if it is already happening, so you might write, “I am making £500 (or whatever you want), and feel relieved and excited about my life, and look forward to more fun in the days to come.” Your objective is to make the £500 a day, but you want to act as if you already have it – assume it is yours now. This is pretending, if you like, but what we think is as real to our subconscious as a physical event. If we think we have that money we are putting the energy in place to attract it. You don’t have to believe it, you just have to practice it = ‘act as if’.

Step 2: This is where it starts to sound new age and weird, but keep going anyway – what have you got to lose? Now write in your book “I support myself in making £500 a day, and am grateful for my life and income.” The key part of step two is, “I support myself in,” whatever it is and then being grateful for your life. A key element in manifestation is gratitude, so please don’t skip this part.

Step 3: This is where you can let yourself go and really enjoy yourself. What you are now going to do is describe, and write down, all your feelings, and what is going on in your life. So what difference will that £500 a day make to you? It’s not just about the money but about what it is going to do for you – see yourself enjoying the benefits of it, visualise really strongly your bank account with an entry each day of £500 going in. For example, you might write, “I am so happy that I am now making £500 a day. I feel so relieved. I am more relaxed. I can pay all my bills. I can do almost anything I want to.” See it running like a movie in your mind and really focus on all the feelings, the colours, the sounds for a few minutes every day and then write down what that experience was. This is not journaling, this is you specifically seeing yourself having whatever you want to manifest, fully experiencing it and writing the whole thing down every day. What will happen is that you become comfortable and familiar with the idea of having that amount of money every day and that in itself will remove any barriers of fear or unworthiness that you might unconsciously have set up.

Step 4: is where you get to say thank you for the lovely experience you have just had of seeing yourself enjoy what are manifesting. Say thank you to the Universe, Higher Power, Your God, Goddess or whatever you pay attention to. Don’t thank them in the future, again make it as if it has already happened, such as “Thank You so much for letting me make £500 a day and I’m very, very, very grateful for this opportunity. Thank you.”

Repeat Steps 1-4 every day for a month, and let me know what happens.
