How To Manifest: The Short Simple Version
It’s great that so many people are now writing about and teaching the concepts of attraction and manifestation. It’s wonderful that so many people worldwide now have a basic understanding of quantum physics and law of attraction. But here’s something a bit radical to consider:
We don’t need all these technical formulas for creating our own reality. By default we are already producing the events and circumstances of our own lives with our innate creative powers.
Long before I heard about the law of attraction I knew I was creating life as I went along. I admit that until I saw The Secret I had never stopped to think about how getting intentionally involved might empower me on greater levels; but I had seen evidence to suggest that my thoughts were becoming things in many areas of life.
For instance I had a way of knowing/deciding where my next job would be, how a particular relationship would work out, and so forth. And I always knew the money to keep surviving would come in at the last minute, which it did.
I didn’t understand that I could really get involved with the process and make BIG changes. And of course once I realized this things changed on all fronts.
But here’s the thing: After all my reading, practicing, studying, and so forth it occurs to me that life, the universe, divinity, whatever actively wants to give me a wonderful experience.
My only job is to feel happy and grateful and to stay out of the way so a great life can flow to and through me!
I believe we can boil all of the “how to manifest” teachings down to this:
- Know what you desire and feel happy about it.
- Become aware of your doubts and resistance.
- Do what you need to do to remove and release these doubts/resistances.
It’s all about finding the blockage and letting go. Right now when you think about something you desire in your life, see if you notice a little voice or a knot come up in your stomach.
If you are aware of this, all you need to do is challenge it. Love it, and let it go.
Once you can see your desires clearly and with legitimate joy (no blockage or resistance) you will be in the real flow of life. From here all things are possible.

Tim,
You’ve really nailed this on the head. Very simply and elegantly put.
We really do get in our own way when it comes to manifesting what we want - and we don’t get out of it when manifesting what we don’t want
Finding out where and how we are resisting is absolutely key!
Blessings,
Keena

[...] it?s critical to your success that you understand the fine line between intentional manifestation and counterproductive obsession. I won?t pretend to understand every nuance and fine point [...]

Isnt is amazing, those that face life with a smile in their heart, work on changing their world in a postive way somehow achieve their goals and dreams.
While those that are constantly complaining, worrying, and are jealous of what the other guy has, never seem to acheive much.
By taking small actions on a daily basis, we can acheive great things!

“If you are aware of this, all you need to do is challenge it.”
I thought this knot in my stomach was the excitement I got from visualising something I really wanted, but you’re saying it’s a block of some sort? So how should I “challenge it”?

Dawn if you feel positive and excited about the knot in your stomach then you’re probably right. Only you can say for sure what your body is telling you, and your comment tells me I should have been more expansive with my wording.
The body can give us positive and negative signals.
If you get a sensation that you feel sick, ill, angry, etc. about it’s likely a blockage. In that case one way to challenge it is to just acknowledge resistance to your intentions, relax your body as completely as possible, and intentionally release the blockage or tension while affirming that you wish to allow your blessings to manifest in the world.
You can focus on the area effected for a moment. Feel the tension or sickness, then as you relax and intent this blockage to go away try to consciously feel it dissipate.
It may help to hold your hands out in front of you and feel your palms get warm. You can release a lot of energy through the palms of your hands and asking the negativity to leave that way is very effective.
Here is some info on releasing physical energy.
You could also find some articles or books on Reiki or Tai Chi as these arts teach you direct energy channeling, which can be extremely useful. I’ll make a point to post some direct resources in the near future.
The above is only one suggestion. Honestly you could even come up with your own method - your unconscious mind and body probably have all kinds of techniques to share with you regarding how to release negativity.
