Transformational Essentials

I love that more and more people are leaning into their inner knowing to help guide their lives. Phrases like "manifest", "visualize", and "ask the universe" have become so much more mainstream. It's clear that we want things to change for the better!

That being said, I wonder if the meanings of those words are getting lost...You read a book or attend a seminar and get swept up in them – you feel elevated, energized – YES! I’M GOING TO MANIFEST! Then you get home and realize you don’t actually know what that even really means.

Here's the thing – manifesting is NOT making a wish. You don’t manifest a better career path for yourself by dropping a dollar in a fountain or making a wish as you blow out your birthday candles. You don’t manifest a leather coat or a new car.

So, what IS manifesting?

Manifesting is when you create a goal for yourself and then make every fibre of your body and soul about that goal. Of course, there's the practical part of goal setting – writing a plan, creating a vision board, building a timeline to make it happen. But manifesting addresses the intangibles of who you are: your heart, your spirit, the very essence of your energy. It's the act of opening your heart wide and feeling your goal.

Be brave, be strong, be afraid – and do it anyway. THAT'S MANIFESTING. The universe will reward you for going all in, fear of rejection be damned.

What do you want to manifest?

Intuition.✨ It’s something that many women are not well-versed in listening to. After all, there are so many external demands vying for our attention that our intuition too often goes unheard.⁣

If you’re tuned in to meditative or prayerful practice you might have a stronger connection to hearing your heart’s subtle yearnings, but you still may find it challenging to actually follow those tender threads of inspiration!⁣

That being said, you don’t necessarily need to light a candle or sit in a sacred space to tap into your inner voice. In fact, some of the most profound intuition will arrive without fanfare, and you’ll recognize it only because of how very right it feels – as if you’ve known forever!⁣

When something tugs on your heart repeatedly, it’s good practice to pay attention to how your body feels as you focus on that thought or feeling in your mind. Ask yourself, “Does this feel heavy, or does this feel light?” This can be a great way to determine if what you’re picking up on is actually an intuitive nudge, as opposed to an idea or expectation from outside factors.⁣

Our intuition may speak softly, but she’s incredibly persistent…and patient. She never gives up on us, even when we’ve been pretending not to hear her for years.💜⁣

Ask yourself – “What does my relationship with my own intuition look like?” Be honest with yourself. Have you been silencing her voice while listening more intently to those external factors, and if so, how can you start looking inward to build that relationship with yourself?
