My response to Kesteal's question...

Hi Hun, I posted a question on your blog, not sure if it made it through - I was hoping you could share some insight from your readings and such. It’s about manifestation (I'm thinking of starting a blog - not that I even know what that really means lol) I just want to share thoughts and questions with other like minded ppl. Here’s the question I posted in case you did not get it through your blog.
...rather than a comment I have a question that I am hoping you can provide insight to.

 I too am on a quest for knowledge, balance. Question is about manifestation. I have been blessed to know firsthand that manifestation does in fact exist. True to its form we can in fact change, mold, or rearrange an outcome based on present time awareness and intention. It is my belief that the secret lies in the purity of the intention. We need to be honest with ourselves and with the intention. My question is about physical manifestation as opposed to material manifestation, tangible items. The buzz seems to be directed at gaining or ownership. Eg. Gaining that perfect job, getting money from a windfall etc... My question is about the process - do we JUST intend something by thought and as long as it’s pure, we put our trust that we will receive it? OR does it take pro-action and accountability? An example is the intention to get that perfect job - we can meditate, send positive vibes and intend to get it OR we can get pro-active and cleanup the resume, do some market research etc... How about physical manifestation - the intention to get well or stay well through the years. We can meditate, send and surround ourselves with positive energy OR we can be pro-active with our diet and exercise. What is the true process for manifestation? Thanks!

First and foremost, I wish to thank you for your beautiful question.

I am genuinely honored by your faith and interest in my opinion.

Having said that, please realize that what I’m about to share, is my personal opinion based on all that I have read and learned.  Follow your heart and only believe whatever rings true to you.

In response to your question… The answer in my opinion is BOTH.

Yes indeed, we do have the ability to manifest our desires based on our thoughts and actions. In fact, we have complete control and power over our world.

Our entire world!

How?

Through the thoughts we think.

Words we say.

And acts we do.

Something to know is the fact that the thoughts that we think…  words that we say... And  acts  we do are each comprised of energy… consciousness.

In other words, your thoughts are more powerful than most people can ever begin to understand.

Think of your thoughts as little bubbles that float out into the universe.

The limitless, powerful, timeless and borderless Universe.

Your mind is similar to a radio station that emits and receives energy frequencies emitting words, thoughts, and actions that vibrate at different energy levels.

Negative vibrates on a low level, while positive vibrates on a high level.

When your thoughts and actions are in union with

·         Love

·         Light

·         Peace

·         Harmony

·         Joy

·         Oneness

·         Gratitude

·         Strength

·         Forgiveness

·         Compassion

·         Non attachment

·         The present moment

·         Abundance

·         Prosperity

·         Health

·         Vitality

·         Grace

·         Happiness

·         Truth

·         Source

·         Confidence

·         Connection

·         Trust

·         Faith

·         Intelligence

You will begin to attract people, events and things that vibrate on the same level.

When you are LOVE in all that you do, you will attract loving reactions.

Same applies to negative thoughts, as they attract negative reactions/manifestation.

Furthermore, the universe is run by a certain set of Universal Laws.

One of them being that Law of Attraction, or the Law of Cause and Effect.

Which as I have just described, basically means whatever you give out, you will attract back to you.

Ok ok enough of my rant.

To answer your question, MY PERSONL BELIEF is that according to the law of attraction, yes indeed thinking positive thoughts will attract desired manifestations to you. However, you must take ACTION STEPS in order to obtain your desire.

So let`s say you`re looking for a job. Should you just sit in your room sending out positive vibes thoughts and visualizations? Or should you spend all your time looking for jobs and sending out your resume?

Well… BOTH.

You can sit in your room all day sending out positive thoughts to the universe hoping to manifest a job.  You can even begin to visualize and be grateful for the fact that you have been offered the job (although it hasn’t occurred yet).  This will help increase your vibrational level to the point where you feel confident and assured that it’s only a matter of time before this comes to fruition. However…. how do you expect to obtain any interviews if you’re not sending out resumes? The power of the mind is not magic. You can’t just think something and BOOM you have what you want all of a sudden without taking certain action steps to obtain it.

Some examples of the way it could work:

·         You happen to be in the right time and the right place, and you meet someone (new or that you already know) who tells you about a job.

·         By visualizing that you have already been offered the job at the interview, they will pick up on this energy and this will affect the way they react to you.

·         You meet someone who helps you spruce up your resume.

Send out your vision to the universe.  Express genuine gratitude for the manifestation even before it happens. Take  action steps towards your dream, one by one and the universe will begin to attract your desires.

Before Jim Carrey became famous he wrote himself a check for 10million and carried it around with him. He knew in his heart that he would achieve fame and success. Look at him now!!

He did not however just walk around with that check , sitting back waiting for things to happen. He worked very hard at becoming a famous actor and faced a lot of rejection. Regardless, he never gave up. He held his vision tightly in his mind and knew that he would someday achieve it.

Moving on to your question about health, the same logic applies. You can’t just sit around telling yourself that you have the fit firm body that you want, without putting in the hard work and sweat. Of course you do have to have to be proactive with your diet. On top of this, you can meditate, and send out positive energy, and surround yourself with pictures, which will all help inspire you. The universe will than begin to send inspiration your way. For example, your friend calls you to ask you to go to the gym. Or let’s say you’re driving and  you hear on the radio about a gym promo that’s going on. Another example, you watch TV and you hear something that helps motivate you to get into shape. In any case, the body you want requires both, poisitve thoughts and hard work.

To conclude, I would have to say that manifestations require both. Positive thoughts, vibes and meditation followed by ACTION.  “The most important step is always the first step.”

The thing is, you don’t need to know  the HOW, as things will begin to unfold for you (the universe takes care of the how)- but you have to take the first step!!

  The universe will attract things to you; AND  it’s up to you to decide how you choose to react.

I hope this helps answer your question.

Love and light my dear friend.
