Knowing + Feeling = Manifesting!
What is the secret formula for manifesting what we want? Do we need a golden goose, white magic, or more fervent prayers? I have worked with this both consciously and unconsciously since I was a child and I recently heard it boiled down to this most elegant formula: Knowing + Feeling = Manifestation. This formula is easy to learn and easy to remember but not so simple to implement. Let me break down the moving parts so you can see what you already do and what you could add or tweak to make it work for you.
The first part of the formula ‘Knowing’ means being very clear about the ‘what and the why’ of your desire, and being in full alignment inside about it. If we are vague about what we want to experience, or a part of ourselves wants something else (feel safe, be protected), our results will be vague or cancel themselves out. When we can bring all of ourselves to a place inside where what we want to experience has already happened, then we have come to the stage of Knowing. This skill is the ability to imagine it is already so even when there is no evidence yet of it. Your mind doesn’t know the difference between your experience happening in your physical reality, or just your imagination and will respond in the same way by paying more attention to, and supporting, what you are focusing on.
Next, we add the feelings/emotions, to our knowing. These emotions are real energy in motion and become the rocket fuel that gathers and aims all of your energy towards what you want to experience. The feelings tell the universe what it is you want to experience like a clear ringing bell enabling it to find the best and highest way to deliver it to you.
The last step is experiencing the relief of releasing your desire into the universe knowing that your desire has been heard and is on its way to you in surprising and delightful ways at the perfect time. When we question our old ideas of how and why things happen and let the universe provide the best way forward, we are supported each step of the way. We don’t have to know how or when, or understand why it works the way it does. Instead, we can stay focused on generating the inner-experience we want to have while watching for the signs and signals from the universe to guide our next steps.
Here is an example from my life: Knowing: I want to shine my light for others to help grow their own light and keep it glowing. Feeling: I imagine myself as a lighthouse and as my inner light permeates out into the world, it sparks the light of individuals ready for my light’s support. I feel excited, open and delighted. I am grounded and confident that we will connect in the perfect ways at the perfect time. Manifestation: By early February, I already had 50% of this year’s business booked and the phone keeps ringing with interesting opportunities that use the best of me. It’s like all of my efforts in every direction are starting to bear fruit in ways I had never imagined. Is it following my ‘plan’? No. Most importantly, it doesn’t need to. The universe always has a better plan than I could ever imagine.
