Speaker: 00:00:02

Hi there.

Speaker: 00:00:03

Welcome to another episode of the Art of Life podcast.

Speaker: 00:00:07

So this is our podcast where we learn how to heal our life.

Speaker: 00:00:11

We learn ways to look at our life in a different manner so that it becomes a

Speaker: 00:00:16

whole lot easier, a whole lot magical.

Speaker: 00:00:20

Everything flowing a lot easily and manifesting easily, being

Speaker: 00:00:25

abundant, being fulfilled.

Speaker: 00:00:27

That's what this podcast is about.

Speaker: 00:00:31

So welcome to the show.

Speaker: 00:00:32

Today we will talk about a topic called manifesting.

Speaker: 00:00:37

You've probably heard of that, right?

Speaker: 00:00:39

Sometimes you wondered about stuff that you've manifested and about stuff

Speaker: 00:00:45

that you haven't been able to manifest.

Speaker: 00:00:47

So let's unpack that.

Speaker: 00:00:50

First up, what does manifestation mean?

Speaker: 00:00:55

Right?

Speaker: 00:00:56

To me, how I look at it is thinking of an idea, creating something, so maybe you

Speaker: 00:01:04

want to visualize how the next month looks like for you, and then bringing that in.

Speaker: 00:01:11

So making it a reality.

Speaker: 00:01:13

So creation, and then allowing that to happen.

Speaker: 00:01:18

Now, personally for me, I put a lot more emphasis on the allowing part, as in

Speaker: 00:01:25

allowing the manifestation to come in.

Speaker: 00:01:28

I have a belief that we, as souls on earth, we already have a whole

Speaker: 00:01:36

lot of power with our thoughts.

Speaker: 00:01:40

We create our reality.

Speaker: 00:01:42

I believe that when we think there's somewhere, something in the universe

Speaker: 00:01:47

that already manifests that idea.

Speaker: 00:01:50

So let's say if I wanted to create a rockstar business, or if I wanted

Speaker: 00:01:55

to have a million dollars in the lottery, that is already created.

Speaker: 00:02:00

Then my job on earth, so my job as a human being is literally

Speaker: 00:02:05

to allow that to come in.

Speaker: 00:02:09

So we'll delve into that a little bit.

Speaker: 00:02:11

But before I dive into it, let's just look at some manifestation

Speaker: 00:02:14

examples and I'll share some of mine, other great stories that I've heard.

Speaker: 00:02:18

I have a very good friend.

Speaker: 00:02:20

She recently told me how she was wanting to manifest a really good costly

Speaker: 00:02:29

equipment for her medical practice.

Speaker: 00:02:31

Now the equipment cost about a hundred thousand dollars

Speaker: 00:02:34

and she didn't have that much.

Speaker: 00:02:36

She didn't have enough money.

Speaker: 00:02:37

She was still short of twenty.

Speaker: 00:02:44

And yet she really wanted to buy it.

Speaker: 00:02:47

This was very important for her practice.

Speaker: 00:02:50

So she just went out and put it in.

Speaker: 00:02:53

The guy asked her are you ready to pay?

Speaker: 00:02:55

Do you have all the funds?

Speaker: 00:02:56

And she's like, yep, yep, I do.

Speaker: 00:02:58

All the while knowing that she was short of 20 grand.

Speaker: 00:03:04

Now lo and behold, she's still thinking what she's to do, but

Speaker: 00:03:10

she's talking to the universe and just telling the universe that, you

Speaker: 00:03:13

know, you better make this happen.

Speaker: 00:03:15

This has to materialize.

Speaker: 00:03:17

I don't know where the money is coming from, but just send it my way.

Speaker: 00:03:22

And so her parents called her and they said, well, we have given your brother

Speaker: 00:03:27

20, 000 grands and we think we should give you this money and we should

Speaker: 00:03:32

give your sister this money as well.

Speaker: 00:03:35

Being the good soul that she is, she did try telling them, it's

Speaker: 00:03:38

okay, I don't really need it.

Speaker: 00:03:39

It's all right.

Speaker: 00:03:42

But well, she did get the 20, 000 grands, just the exact amount that

Speaker: 00:03:46

she needed to buy that equipment for.

Speaker: 00:03:52

I'll share another of my stories.

Speaker: 00:03:55

So this goes back to some time, maybe three or four years ago.

Speaker: 00:04:00

I was listening on YouTube to someone who manifested a check in today's world.

Speaker: 00:04:05

And that time I was just starting my own journey with meditation.

Speaker: 00:04:09

So all of this was relatively new and I went like, well, cheque,

Speaker: 00:04:13

it's not something that I have a huge resistance against.

Speaker: 00:04:17

So let me just see, maybe can I manifest a cheque for myself?

Speaker: 00:04:20

So I put that small intent out there, really didn't even do

Speaker: 00:04:24

anything much and left it at that.

Speaker: 00:04:29

Maybe about a month after, I got a cheque in my mailbox.

Speaker: 00:04:35

Now, in today's day and age, nobody sends a bank cheque.

Speaker: 00:04:41

But this was a bank cheque by an electricity company.

Speaker: 00:04:45

I had a business that I was running and apparently the power

Speaker: 00:04:49

had gone off for some time.

Speaker: 00:04:51

The laws required that if the power is off for some time,

Speaker: 00:04:56

you credit the business people.

Speaker: 00:04:57

So I got a little cheque.

Speaker: 00:05:00

I got a little bank cheque in my mail.

Speaker: 00:05:04

Another example, I've probably previously shared this in my

Speaker: 00:05:08

podcast as well, is around a job.

Speaker: 00:05:13

I wanted to have a job that would really allow me to spend time

Speaker: 00:05:17

with my son, that would give me a lot of flexibility as well.

Speaker: 00:05:22

And I was doing some meditation courses during the day.

Speaker: 00:05:26

So I wanted to be able to do those as well.

Speaker: 00:05:31

And to make things a little bit, miraculous, of course, I wanted the job

Speaker: 00:05:35

to be really well paying and somewhere where I would have an amazing team, really

Speaker: 00:05:41

bond well with everybody and have a very good time, very mutually fun time for

Speaker: 00:05:49

everyone around me and for me as well.

Speaker: 00:05:53

And I got that.

Speaker: 00:05:55

This wasn't even a job that I applied for.

Speaker: 00:05:58

I happened to chat with someone who wasn't even in my city and he asked me where

Speaker: 00:06:06

are you these days, what are you doing.

Speaker: 00:06:08

I told him I'd moved and now I'm in this city and he went like, well,

Speaker: 00:06:12

they're looking for people there.

Speaker: 00:06:14

Just send me your CV and I'll see if something works out for you.

Speaker: 00:06:19

Now the type of job at the time, like I wasn't looking at this.

Speaker: 00:06:23

industry.

Speaker: 00:06:24

I wasn't looking at the work style in terms of the roster.

Speaker: 00:06:27

I really wasn't looking at anything which would have on a regular basis

Speaker: 00:06:32

some time away from my family.

Speaker: 00:06:33

I wasn't looking at that at all.

Speaker: 00:06:37

If I try and analyze this, there's, there's probably very, very

Speaker: 00:06:42

little probability that I would have even looked at this job.

Speaker: 00:06:45

Like I said, I wasn't looking at this industry.

Speaker: 00:06:47

I wasn't looking at these sorts of roles, really nothing on my radar

Speaker: 00:06:53

at all, but it gets even better.

Speaker: 00:06:55

I applied and that was the exact match for the profile that they were looking for.

Speaker: 00:06:59

And I got the job.

Speaker: 00:07:02

And then afterwards, my boss and I, we are talking when I got my

Speaker: 00:07:06

contract after that, I'm like, well, this doesn't exactly suit me.

Speaker: 00:07:10

And he's like, don't worry, we'll just make it work.

Speaker: 00:07:12

You join and then whatever days you want or whatever time you want for doing your

Speaker: 00:07:18

own things, you'll be able to do that.

Speaker: 00:07:20

And I'm sure we'll be able to work out a balance.

Speaker: 00:07:22

That's how the flexibility turned out.

Speaker: 00:07:24

The team was amazing.

Speaker: 00:07:26

My boss was amazing.

Speaker: 00:07:27

I had the most amazing time working there.

Speaker: 00:07:30

A whole lot of growth, a whole lot of contribution for the

Speaker: 00:07:33

team as well, and a whole lot of personal growth for me as well.

Speaker: 00:07:36

So really, really good.

Speaker: 00:07:39

Now if this manifestation story inspires you, I really hope it does.

Speaker: 00:07:44

I do encourage you to set out some manifestations for yourself.

Speaker: 00:07:49

A lot of times I think we go through life and we don't ask enough.

Speaker: 00:07:54

We don't tell the universe enough that this is what we would like to have.

Speaker: 00:07:59

Start chatting and just start going, well, this is what I'd like to create.

Speaker: 00:08:03

This is what I like.

Speaker: 00:08:05

Just have those conversations.

Speaker: 00:08:07

There's no harm, but just let the universe know.

Speaker: 00:08:11

Now, as I'm speaking this, there perhaps a whole lot of you who are saying, well,

Speaker: 00:08:16

my manifestation hasn't worked for me.

Speaker: 00:08:19

So let's talk about the times when manifesting doesn't work.

Speaker: 00:08:26

It's happened with me as well.

Speaker: 00:08:27

A lot of times when I analyze this in my own meditation space, as I

Speaker: 00:08:34

investigate, why is it that I haven't been able to manifest something, I

Speaker: 00:08:40

realize that a whole lot of times, it's my own beliefs, it's my own mindset.

Speaker: 00:08:46

So I'll give you an example.

Speaker: 00:08:49

I was looking at my time with my son and I was just wondering, why is

Speaker: 00:08:55

this not as joyful, as fun as I would like it to be at the moment for me.

Speaker: 00:09:04

Why do I feel like I'm missing something?

Speaker: 00:09:09

And so I looked at it in my meditation space.

Speaker: 00:09:11

I looked at how much I allowed myself as a mother to receive and how much

Speaker: 00:09:19

I allowed myself as a mother to give.

Speaker: 00:09:22

My own answer for myself was that I was good in terms of giving.

Speaker: 00:09:28

That space was really open.

Speaker: 00:09:30

When I looked at myself in terms of receiving.

Speaker: 00:09:34

That place wasn't that open.

Speaker: 00:09:37

Now, some of you might know this if you've listened to my podcasts,

Speaker: 00:09:42

but I lost my daughter when I was 31 weeks pregnant with her.

Speaker: 00:09:47

And there's an episode where I've talked about my own self forgiveness

Speaker: 00:09:51

journey as well with that.

Speaker: 00:09:54

So when I lost her, and I lost her when I was sleeping, I really did

Speaker: 00:09:59

hold a lot of guilt for myself.

Speaker: 00:10:03

How could I let that happen?

Speaker: 00:10:06

And somewhere with that, the whole space of receiving as a mum, I

Speaker: 00:10:12

blocked that off too, because I was telling myself I'm not a good mum.

Speaker: 00:10:16

So you see how the beliefs come into play.

Speaker: 00:10:19

And then that stops me from experiencing the joy of motherhood fully.

Speaker: 00:10:28

So, I would like you to think about whatever you wanting to

Speaker: 00:10:32

create and bring into this life.

Speaker: 00:10:36

I would want you to think from a point of view of are you allowing that to happen.

Speaker: 00:10:43

Let's say you want to manifest a really good relationship.

Speaker: 00:10:49

Before you start doing that, I want you to see where are you at?

Speaker: 00:10:55

In terms of love, where are you at?

Speaker: 00:10:58

What is your vibration?

Speaker: 00:11:00

Are you feeling good with yourself?

Speaker: 00:11:04

Are you feeling loved?

Speaker: 00:11:07

Are you feeling enough?

Speaker: 00:11:11

Complete?

Speaker: 00:11:12

Are you feeling like you've got it?

Speaker: 00:11:15

Are you feeling like you are deserving of love?

Speaker: 00:11:21

Because my experience is that life will give you back the vibration

Speaker: 00:11:29

at which you are vibrating.

Speaker: 00:11:31

If you manifest something with fear, then you will get that

Speaker: 00:11:36

back in your relationship.

Speaker: 00:11:39

Maybe the other person will come around and say, well, I'm really afraid of

Speaker: 00:11:43

committing to a relationship right now.

Speaker: 00:11:46

Because you manifested from a place of fear.

Speaker: 00:11:48

The world that we see around us is a mirror to us.

Speaker: 00:11:54

It's a mirror to how I'm feeling.

Speaker: 00:11:57

And It's, it's not a punishment.

Speaker: 00:12:00

It's more our soul's way of showing us the reality of where we are

Speaker: 00:12:06

vibrating so that we can clean that and then become more abundant and

Speaker: 00:12:11

more fulfilled versions of ourselves.

Speaker: 00:12:13

I believe the soul has every capability.

Speaker: 00:12:18

The soul is really capable enough, empowered enough to

Speaker: 00:12:23

bring you whatever you want.

Speaker: 00:12:26

All you're working in this lifetime is literally that piece around bringing

Speaker: 00:12:31

it in, around allowing that to come in.

Speaker: 00:12:36

So maybe you've had a past relationship where you felt scared,

Speaker: 00:12:41

where you felt unloved, unsafe.

Speaker: 00:12:45

It's time to heal that and then step into a relationship.

Speaker: 00:12:50

And as I say, that doesn't mean that you have to a hundred percent

Speaker: 00:12:53

heal because to a lot of extent, healing is a work in progress.

Speaker: 00:12:58

As long as you are living, you will be healing, you will be growing, you will

Speaker: 00:13:03

be expanding in new areas of your life.

Speaker: 00:13:07

But what I do mean is that clear out some of the really important blocks

Speaker: 00:13:13

and be aware of where you are at.

Speaker: 00:13:16

Another example could be, let's say you want to manifest a work which

Speaker: 00:13:20

has a good work life balance, which gives you a lot of money, where you

Speaker: 00:13:25

do enjoy working with the people around you and your contributions are

Speaker: 00:13:30

valued, you have a whole lot of growth.

Speaker: 00:13:33

So if you wanted to do that, examine how do you feel as an employee?

Speaker: 00:13:39

What are the triggers?

Speaker: 00:13:40

Maybe sometimes you want to look at the people who had those triggers.

Speaker: 00:13:43

And we often tend to punish ourselves.

Speaker: 00:13:47

Or we tend to judge ourselves from the eyes of someone else.

Speaker: 00:13:51

That could be a past teacher.

Speaker: 00:13:53

That could be a parent.

Speaker: 00:13:54

That could be friends.

Speaker: 00:13:55

That could be family.

Speaker: 00:13:57

Write for yourself the affirmations that allow you to be who you want to be.

Speaker: 00:14:05

Let's say you wanted to manifest a great relationship for yourself.

Speaker: 00:14:11

Now, you can start writing affirmations for yourself to first tell yourself

Speaker: 00:14:16

that you are enough, you are complete, you're absolutely adorable, lovable,

Speaker: 00:14:23

and a prize to be loved just as you are, because that is the truth.

Speaker: 00:14:29

It's just that sometimes we have labels and we think about things from a different

Speaker: 00:14:34

perspective that shifts our thoughts.

Speaker: 00:14:41

There's another episode that I've done, which is around

Speaker: 00:14:43

holding space for yourself.

Speaker: 00:14:45

And one of the examples I've given there is that maybe in this

Speaker: 00:14:49

world you've come as an apple.

Speaker: 00:14:54

Now , that's just an example, so bear with me, it'll make sense.

Speaker: 00:14:59

So let's say if you are an apple and then you have lots of fruits around

Speaker: 00:15:03

you or even vegetables around you, your role on Earth is to hold your space

Speaker: 00:15:11

is to still be an apple and to enjoy being an apple, to be happy as an apple.

Speaker: 00:15:18

It's not comparing with maybe the broccoli or peas or kiwis or mangoes.

Speaker: 00:15:26

It's not comparing with anyone else.

Speaker: 00:15:29

It is accepting that you are an apple and loving yourself as an apple.

Speaker: 00:15:35

If you want it to manifest whatever you are thinking of, I urge you

Speaker: 00:15:39

to think of where is it that you're holding yourself back?

Speaker: 00:15:43

Where is it that you're saying?

Speaker: 00:15:45

Ah, no, like I can't have this

Speaker: 00:15:47

Let's say you want to have a whole lot of money.

Speaker: 00:15:49

Play with your thoughts and imagine what would you do if

Speaker: 00:15:55

you had a whole lot of money?

Speaker: 00:15:56

So play with maybe 100 and say, let's say you got 100 unexpected.

Speaker: 00:16:01

What happens?

Speaker: 00:16:02

How do you feel?

Speaker: 00:16:03

Then put in 200, put in 1000, put in 10, 000.

Speaker: 00:16:08

You can even do some exercises around that.

Speaker: 00:16:12

So every day you can imagine that you got more money and just say this is what

Speaker: 00:16:17

I would do, this is how I would play with it, this is how I would spend this money.

Speaker: 00:16:23

Make it real and real and real, whatever baby steps you can take.

Speaker: 00:16:28

Now a lot of manifestation coaches say that you need to feel your manifestation,

Speaker: 00:16:33

you really need to believe is because by doing that you are allowing your

Speaker: 00:16:39

internal resistance to fade away.

Speaker: 00:16:42

The more and more you see that, the more and more you get ready to own it.

Speaker: 00:16:49

So play with that idea and see whatever resistance is coming up.

Speaker: 00:16:54

Ask yourself, Oh, okay.

Speaker: 00:16:56

Am I stopping this somewhere?

Speaker: 00:16:58

What is my belief around this?

Speaker: 00:16:59

What is my mindset?

Speaker: 00:17:01

What does my family say around this?

Speaker: 00:17:03

Who would be the negative nagger in this one saying, ah, I can't have this.

Speaker: 00:17:10

And then just work on that.

Speaker: 00:17:13

I have written a beautiful ebook on grounding.

Speaker: 00:17:17

Grounding is a technique where we can release stress and anxiety

Speaker: 00:17:23

by connecting with the earth.

Speaker: 00:17:25

It's a mindfulness practice.

Speaker: 00:17:27

You imagine that you have a connection with the center of the earth and

Speaker: 00:17:31

the earth allows you to then release anything that's holding you back.

Speaker: 00:17:36

Grounding can be a really good way to let your beliefs go, to let any negative

Speaker: 00:17:42

mindsets, any negative blocks that you've got, anything that's holding you back.

Speaker: 00:17:47

grounding can be a super cool way of letting all of that go and having

Speaker: 00:17:53

more ownership, allowing a whole lot more of flow into your space.

Speaker: 00:17:58

You can find the grounding ebook at artoflifecenter.com/grounding/.

Speaker: 00:18:03

That's free for you.

Speaker: 00:18:05

It's really playful.

Speaker: 00:18:06

It doesn't need a whole lot to be done either, like you could practice

Speaker: 00:18:11

grounding wherever you are, even while you're standing in a grocery queue.

Speaker: 00:18:16

So I really encourage you to reach out for that.

Speaker: 00:18:21

There is another program that I'm launching as well.

Speaker: 00:18:23

It's called the Life Makeover program.

Speaker: 00:18:26

As it says, it is aimed on a complete life makeover.

Speaker: 00:18:31

So allowing you to have the life that you want, heal your past traumas, really

Speaker: 00:18:37

living in the flow and having a magical life every day, every moment, creating

Speaker: 00:18:43

a really abundant life in all spheres, whether it's your work life, whether

Speaker: 00:18:48

it's your personal life, your spiritual life, everything blends together.

Speaker: 00:18:52

It's all art therapy based and very gentle exercises around your mindset

Speaker: 00:18:57

that help you think through stuff with a whole new angle and then bring a

Speaker: 00:19:02

whole lot of expansion into your space.

Speaker: 00:19:04

I cannot wait to see you there.

Speaker: 00:19:07

The link for that one is artoflifecenter.com/art/

Speaker: 00:19:14

I will see you next time, next week with another episode.

Speaker: 00:19:17

Till then, stay happy, enjoy life, and have fun.

Speaker: 00:19:22

Bye bye.
