Manifesting 101: 5 principles every beginner should know

ashlina kaposta January 31, 2020

This post is all about 5 principles that every beginner should know.

I love discussing things like Law of Attraction, Law of Assumption, principles of manifestation and all of the woo woo things that really get my mind outside of reality for a minute. I am always delighted to play a new game with the Universe and co-create something I want to experience.

I’m a Capricorn, an ENFJ and a Generator, meaning everything in me loves to hustle and create. Quite possibly, the most exciting thing I have learned to date, is how to create is my own reality and my own life experience through the laws of the universe. I love helping others do the same, too.

I’ve been practicing the principles of Law of Attraction for years and have always used them in an effort to design my best life.

But recently (the past few months I would say) I’ve noticed that seemingly out of nowhere my manifestation efforts have been almost instant! I’m experiencing this overwhelming feeling that I actually have the power to manifest with serious speed.

My girlfriend Allison dubbed me “the Queen of vision boards” because of my passion for using my manifesting secrets, along with my vision board method to create what you want in life, really works and works quickly.

Lately, the things on my board have been popping into my life almost instantly!!!! Whoooa?!?!? I’ll even go as far as to say, I had to cover up and change some things on my board because it manifested faster than I was expecting it to. Needless to say, I am pretty passionate about the topic. I love everything about manifesting the life you want.

Anyway, the point of this post is to teach you some of the things that I feel have helped me get better at manifesting, so that you don’t have to take all the years, trial and error like it did for me.

5 MANIFESTATION PRINCIPLES YOU MUST KNOW and start using immediately:

1. YOUR INTUITION MUST BE BUILT UP.

BECAUSE YOU NEED TO GET CLEAR ON WHAT YOU TRULY WANT. I’ve spent years working on building up my intuition. Sometimes I feel so connected and then there are other times I don’t. It can sort of be a frustrating experience for a newbie to know what your intuition is saying to you or what it isn’t.

There have been times when I put something on my vision board and months later, I thought to myself “wait, I wanted that?!?” When it comes to manifesting, we must be very clear that what we want is actually from our soul, our heart. Otherwise, it just simply isn’t meant for us and it can make manifesting feel that much harder or we may get something completely different than what we thought.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER:

The things in your heart are meant for you. God put them directly in there for you to experience in this life. Yet, sometimes, it is hard to hear the whispers of our heart when the loud voice of the subconscious mind takes over. Learn how to train your subconscious mind inside the Manifestation Queen Membership.

Think about a time when you stayed in a relationship or friendship with someone who judged you or put you down (emotional abuse, ahem.) and you began to believe the things that they said were actually the truth and the voice of your inner wisdom.

Or perhaps you had parents who gave you specific guidelines for how to think, act or behave in life and you adopted those rules as your own and voila they now were the voice of your inner guidance.

The problem lies in all the subconscious programming within your mind that tells you what you want. It can make or break your manifestations. So, before you whip out those magazines and begin to make your vision board, you must know your intuition is on your side (not the side of all the lies and subconscious beliefs that don’t serve you).

Like if your parents pushed you into a career that you don’t truly love, but you’re pretending its what you want…..thats blocking you from being able to manifest anything your heart desires. I teach you specific tools to work through your blocks inside the Membership.

You really want to spend some time working on this. Spend time alone, working on yourself and testing all the things that you want. Ask yourself why you want something? How will you feel after you get it? What is it about that thing that will make you a better, happier, more fulfilled person? And really check yourself. Honor your desires and feel good about what you want.

Listen to this podcast episode for more on intuition:

2. LEARN TO NAVIGATE FEAR AND RESISTANCE TO SORT OUT THE LIMITING BELIEFS.

Once you’ve gotten clear on your desires and feel fully supported and connected to your truth aka your intuition, you have got some serious work to do.

It all begins in the mind. We have monkey minds. Minds that will react, judge, overthink, control, make excuses, think the worst, etc. The thing is, your mind controls your emotions, so when you allow all of those negative thoughts to take up space in your brain, they will send you off on a roller coaster of negative emotions. These negative emotions will cause you to behave in ways that don’t support your best life.

Have you ever gotten paranoid that your boyfriend was cheating on you and then treated him like shit because of it? Did that create bliss in your relationship? Probably not. Or have you ever gotten an inspired business idea, like starting a website but then hesitated because something wasn’t perfect? or you don’t have the time? or some other idea that keeps you blocked from making the move towards that dream?

Well, that is your monkey mind at work, telling you all of the lies about why you should not go for your goals and dreams. Your monkey minds only job is to keep you stuck, holding on for dear life to survive the big scary world out there. It’s human survival instincts. But, like, what are we so afraid of?

I have worked EXTENSIVELY on my monkey mind. I even worked with a therapist for over a year to help me get really good at watching the thoughts that pop into my mind so that I can learn the tools and skills to overcome all the fear and doubt.

Even to this day, if I allow it, my thoughts will go off on tangents and create false evidence to appear real and quite frankly its pretty scary how far our minds will go. Sometimes it takes an outside person to show you that what you are afraid of, isn’t actually even real.

I have learned the value of working on the mind for your mental health. It is just as important as your physical health. In fact, your mental health has a lot to do with your physical health. Things like anxiety, depression and stress come from your monkey mind running wild and wearing your physical body down. They say Dis-ease leads to disease.

It is so necessary to be DILIGENT in keeping a positive & productive mindset. Your life experience will resemble the thoughts going on in your mind. It controls your weight, your bank account, your relationship status, your success, your home, etc. It controls everything so you really want to be programming yourself to catch any limiting thoughts or beliefs and talk yourself out of them immediately, especially before you act or react on them.

3. PATIENCE IS A MUST.

I would be remiss if I did not emphasize the importance of understanding the concept of patience. With all of your heart, you must know that what is meant for you will NOT miss you. You must believe that to your core and you also must posses the ability to believe in Divine Timing. Have you ever looked back at a situation where you missed something and it actually worked out in your favor?

Like that time on Sex and the City, when Charlotte was so desperate to find a husband and was out on a blind date that went terribly wrong but she ran away from the blind date guy, almost got hit by a cab and lo and behold, she met her future husband. Or one time my friend was heartbroken and so on a whim, we decided to board a plane to Vegas and on that plane ride, we sat next to a group of guys and as fate would have it my friend ended up marrying the guy on the plane.

These serendipitous stories happen all the time. (Now, watch your mind for all the negative judgemental thoughts that pop up here like “that would never happen for me” or “that’s a bunch of bs”. These are lies!!!!!) But seriously, these things happen all the time, I see them happen to me and people around me. BUT, they happen when a persons mind isn’t cluttered and busy with all the negative, fearful thoughts. It’s when they make a decision to let those limiting beliefs and the thoughts that are holding them back, go. When you let go of holding on to something, forcing something, needing something to happen in your time, they will magically begin to come your way.

So, try to get your mind wrapped around the fact that what is meant for you will not miss you. It will come your way when you are ready. If something doesn’t work out the way you want it to, just give it time.

The more you think about the fact that you haven’t manifested it, the more you keep it away from you. So, lay down the desire from your obsessive thoughts and TRUST, when it’s meant to come it will. Understand this universal principle because your life depends on it.

4. YOU MUST HAVE A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE THAT GROUNDS YOU.

The law of attraction isn’t for the realistic people or the people who don’t have an open imagination. You have to be able to step out in some serious faith. You’ve have to believe in the things that you can’t actually see yet. If you want your dream car, you have to truly believe that you can actually have it. You don’t have to understand how or when but that the possibility that it can happen, must resonate with you. You have to be able to believe in miracles.

If you have a connection with your soul, you probably have some sort of connection with the possibility of an alternate universe, an ether of spirit, the realm of miracles and God. If you believe in some form of spiritual connection with a higher power, then you won’t have trouble believing that your desires are meant for you. Your only job is to work on what is blocking you from truly believing you deserve it, unconditionally. That is the work.

A strong spiritual practice will help you work on this principle. Meditation, working with crystals, yoga, chakra balancing, prayer, worship, connection with your higher power will help you know that the Universe, God, the divine, has your back.

My 21-day course, Soul Aligned, will help you on your spiritual awakening journey.

5. LIVE AND OPERATE YOUR LIFE AS IF .

At this point your mind should be free of all the negative drama and monkey mind thoughts. So my advice would be to use this free space in your mind to play with manifesting. Talk yourself into the belief that you can have whatever you want and feel, act, behave, talk and live like it is already done.

Use your free time to cultivate a blissful environment around you. Surround yourself with the things you love, Feng Shui and declutter your home. Get the energy of your surroundings in line with the life that you want.

If there is something that you really, really want, allow yourself to step into the alternate dimension of reality where you actually ALREADY HAVE what you want. (think about it like a time travel machine)

So, if you want a new car……feel, do, be someone that just got a new car. What would you do today if you had just gotten your new car? Would it be washed and full of gas? ——> go do that right now with the car you have. Would you go pick up friends and drive around? ——-> go do that right now with the car you have. Would you roll around like a confident bad ass with your windows down and music blasting? ———-> Go do that right now with the car you have.

This game of playing in an alternate reality where you experience what you want will COLLAPSE the timeline to getting whatever it is that you want. (this is what athletes do when they prepare to compete and win)

Negative thoughts will come up. Life will throw curve balls and things will happen to hold you back. Fight for your mindset like your life depends on it. Play the game with ease.

I recently read this book by Richard Dotts, called It is Done. It really helped me better understand how to really let all of it go and I think its helped me manifest more with ease. I love reading books on this topic. Here are a few of my favorites, my complete list you can find inside the membership.
