Manifestation Made Easy: Simple Ways to Boost Your Manifesting Energy
Manifestation: Overdone, but Here We Are
Let’s just get this out of the way: the word manifesting is officially overused. It’s the pumpkin spice latte of the spiritual world—everywhere, all the time, and often with a side of eye-roll. But here we are. Until we evolve into communicating via light language or telepathic emojis, we're stuck with manifesting as the go-to term for getting our dreams out of our heads and into reality. So, let’s dive in.
“man·i·fes·ta·tion
[ˌmanəfəˈstāSHən]
noun
manifestation (noun) · manifestations (plural noun)
•an event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something, especially a theory or an abstract idea
•the action or fact of showing an abstract idea
•a symptom or sign of an ailment
•a version or incarnation of something or someone
•an appearance of a ghost or spirit”
What Even Is Manifesting?
Google defines "manifestation" as:
An event or action that embodies an abstract idea
Showing an abstract idea as fact
A symptom or sign of an ailment
A version or incarnation of something
An appearance of a ghost or spirit
this definition awkwardly hits the nail on the head. Let’s break it down:
An action that embodies something: Think of it as personifying your dream job, new home, or finally getting your toddler to eat veggies.
Showing an abstract idea as fact: Fake it ’til you make it—except here, we call it "alignment."
A symptom of an ailment: Hello, ascension flu. Apparently, upgrading your life comes with a side of "why do I feel like I’ve been hit by a cosmic truck?"
A version or incarnation of something: Manifesting is basically an archetype party. You’re Beyoncé-ing your way into your best life.
An appearance of a ghost or spirit: Spirit guides love a good guest appearance when you’re on the right path.
So yes, manifesting may make you cringe, but it works—when done right. Spoiler: it involves more than cozy vibes and an Amazon cart full of crystals.
The Buzzkill (AKA the Real Secret to Manifesting)
Here’s the hard truth: manifesting is less about “wishful thinking” and more about “do the work.” No, the Universe is not Postmates for your dreams. You have to actually show up. It’s about setting your intention, believing in it, and—most importantly—putting in the sweat equity to make it happen.
My Manifesting Story (With Goat Milk, Of Course 🐐)
Let me give you a real-life example: I had a big event coming up to sell my goat milk lotion. I needed $2,000 to make it happen—labels, containers, ingredients, you name it. Did I sit around and chant "money, money, money" into the void? Well, maybe a little. But mostly, I got to work.
Here’s how I did it:
🔮 Visualize
I crafted my vision like an extra Pinterest board queen. Branding, product line-up, even booth decorations. Not a planner? No problem. A single inspiration picture or sticky note with your goal can work wonders.
💡 Find Clarity
Meditation isn’t just for zen—it’s for focus. I meditated on my vision, got specific about my needs, and wrote down the exact steps to achieve it. My magic number? $2,000. And I believed it was possible.
🥸 Pay Attention
The Universe loves to drop hints. For me, it was 444 popping up everywhere. Google tells me 444 means stability, abundance, and angelic support. Coincidence? Maybe. Motivation? Definitely.
🧘🏼♀️ Be Here Now
Worrying about the future is like rocking in a chair—it gives you something to do, but you won’t get anywhere. I stayed present, created a list of stores to pitch my products to, and prepped sample kits. Action is key.
💃🏼 Embodiment
Fear was there, whispering, “What if they say no?” But fear = False Evidence Appearing Real. I acted as though I already was a successful business owner. Spoiler: It works.
🪄 Micro Rituals
Every morning, I pulled a tarot card, affirmed my goal, and wrote it down as though it was already happening. Small, meaningful practices are where the magic is.
🕯️ Little Altars Everywhere
I kept visual reminders of my goal—notes, crystals, a tarot card. Every glance kept me focused. An altar doesn’t have to be fancy; it just needs to work for you.
The (Ongoing) End Result
Did I hit $2,000 yet? Not quite. But I’ve made strides. These tools keep me grounded, motivated, and moving forward. Manifesting isn’t about snapping your fingers; it’s about showing up for yourself every day.
Six years ago, I started this journey with mason jars and a label maker. Now, I have a full-fledged studio and sell products at a local shop. The magic wasn’t in the manifesting—it was in me. And it’s in you, too.
