Manifesting Abundance Though be Careful What You Wish For
What does it take to manifest abundance into someone's life? For
me manifesting joy takes no effort, there are so many simple
things I get joy out of. As a matter of fact I lead quite an
abundant simple life.
I'm talking more about big material things here like manifesting
money - lots of it, business success, and living a contented
life where everything's taken care of.
Does attracting abundance take lots of meditation and positive
affirmations or does it take a bit more than that? Is it as easy
as setting an intention for abundance to materialise at our door
step?
Well, meditation has, without a doubt, brought me inner peace
and a change of perception. Positive affirmations set the mood
for my day, and setting intentions enables me to goal set
conceptually without getting caught up in every detail. These
all work exceptionally well on a spiritual level.
What I do know that does work well in manifesting the big
'stuff' is: know what you want, focus, commitment, determination
and the big one - do something. Also, if you're not congruent
with what you are trying to achieve, even if there's a very,
very tiny voice somewhere inside you wanting your attention, pay
attention and listen. Work on what your inner voice is trying to
tell you.
It may be a belief getting in the way. You might get all 'fired'
up about an idea you have that's totally new and just for an
instant, you live your dream. What happens next takes a
nanosecond. Doubt steps in, and fear and so the downward spiral
begins until you've given up on the idea. This is an example of
a negative belief getting in the way of what potentially could
be a really, really great idea!
Your inner voice might also be telling you that you need to
up-skill; meet more people; look more closely at what you truly
value; or that it's fear blocking your power to manifest.
Sometimes we have a fear of not only failure but also fear of
success.
On a more spiritual level manifesting abundance can take time,
this depends of course on what it is you're manifesting. As a
matter of fact it can take an awful lot of time. An option would
be to start something different, but what happens then is the
wait for abundance begins...again...and possibly again.
Manifesting anything takes effort - sometimes a little and
sometimes a lot, and then there are times 'the guys upstairs'
(or maybe 'the girls' for you) deliberately place obstacles and
blocks (including fear) in the way. This will test how serious,
determined and creative you really are.
It can be extremely demoralising and soul destroying to
continually receive rejections for that book you want published,
that CD you want to sing, that movie you'd like to star in. Have
faith and trust in yourself that you can pull it off. You never
know what's around the corner.
If something doesn't work, improve upon it, it may be that the
only thing that needs changing is your perception. Get some
coaching in - there are many types of coaching these days,
there's life coaching, business coaching, executive coaching,
spiritual coaching, there's me - transformational coaching, and
many other types of coaching. Maybe get some meditation in.
There's a flipside to all this manifesting. An expression I
particularly love and has been true for me on occasion is 'be
careful what you wish for because you're bound to get it', and
it may not be what you expect. Instead, your manifesting may
bring an abundance of frustration and heartache with it.
Weigh up your wish list, look at what you're trying to manifest
with new eyes - and yes, 'be careful what you wish for', for it
may not be what it seems.
Sometimes life can appear so complicated.
