Overview
You CAN Manifest Anything!
To manifest anything all you have to do is imagine that it is already happening.
It’s that simple, and that hard!
For example if you’re a helping professional and you want to have a full practice of
25 clients a week, imagine being a person who has 25 clients a week.
If you want $100,000 a year income, imagine being a person who has $100,000 a year
income.
If you want to be in a great relationship, imagine being a person who is in a great
relationship.
What are you thinking, feeling, and doing?
If you can think, feel, and act more like the person who is seeing 25 clients a week
(receiving $100,000/year or in a great relationship) than the one who isn’t, you will send
out a message through your vibration to the Universe that says you are a person who sees
25 clients a week (makes $100,000/year or is in a great relationship)…
And… because of the Law of Attraction, things will start to happen – for
example, either new clients will contact you to make appointments or circumstances will
show up that will lead to more clients.
This does not mean that if you want to manifest $1,000,000 that you should go out and
spend $1,000,000 on your credit cards (if you could get that much credit).
It does mean that if you want to manifest $1,000,000 imagine being a person with
$1,000,000 in his or her bank account. As that person, what are you thinking, feeling, and
doing? If this person walks with a swagger, in real life walk with a swagger. If this person
smiles at everyone, in real life smile at everyone. If this person saves 10% of his or her
income, in real life save 10% of your income.

There are two different kinds of imagining.
One is when you imagine something as if it might happen some day in the future and the
other is when you imagine it as if it’s happening now.
Notice the difference between these two types of imagining:
First Type of Imagining:
Imagine you live in Maryland (on the east coast of the United States) and you want to go
on a vacation in Seattle (on the west coast of the United States).
Imagine looking at pictures of Seattle and of things you could do there. Imagine doing a
hotel search of places you could stay in Seattle and even creating a vision board of being
in Seattle.
You know you’re going to get there some day – but you don’t know when. What does this
feel like in your body?
Second Type of Imagining:
Imagine you live in Maryland, you’re in your car, and it’s packed for your trip to Seattle.
Imagine you’ve taken two weeks vacation because you’re driving and you want time to
enjoy your trip there and back. Imagine you’ve asked someone to come by your home to
take care of your pet and/or your plants.
Imagine you know where you’re going to stay when you get to Seattle, in fact you have
reservations, and you have some plans of what you’re going to do when you get there. You
have maps for your trip and you know what roads you’re going to take to get to Seattle.
Imagine leaving your home and starting to drive to Seattle. How do you feel in your body?
In which one of these two types of imagining do you KNOW you’re going to be in
Seattle soon?
If you’re like me it’s the second type.
If you imagined this every day for 10 – 30 minutes, I have no doubt that soon you’d be in
your car driving to Seattle.

WE ARE ALWAYS MANIFESTING!
If you want to know how to manifest anything, you have to learn how to harness the
power of your imagination.
If you don’t, you will continue to manifest unconsciously because what you’re thinking,
feeling, and doing is sending out a vibration – continuously.
Through the Law of Attraction you will attract more of what’s already happening unless
you intentionally shift your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
I haven’t always known how to do this.
Since I was a young adult I’ve been interested in how to consciously co-create the
circumstances and experiences in my life. As a result, I’ve learned a lot of tools and
concepts that help me and my Manifestation Coaching clients intentionally co-create
our lives.
In the process, I’ve identified 6 steps to manifestation.
If you want to be able to manifest anything, become proficient in using these steps. As
you do, you’ll learn that you CAN MANIFEST ANYTHING!
The Law of Attraction and Manifestation are Related
Conscious manifestation is the process and practice of transforming your desires into
reality by intentionally activating the Law of Attraction.
The Law of Attraction works like magnets do.
If you don’t have any magnets I suggest going to a toy store and playing with some.
Feel the pull of two magnets when they’re attracting. They come together in a rush.
Feel the push of two magnets that are pushing against each other. You can feel how they
want to stay away from each other.
If you’re focused on not having enough money, the way the Law of Attraction works –
you will attract more scarcity seemingly instantaneously like the two magnets that rush
together. But no worries… this can change in an instant as well if you learn to practice the
6 steps to manifestation!

Your energetic vibration sends out a message to the Universe – kind of like a radio station
sends out radio waves that listeners can tune in to.
Your radio waves – or vibration – is based on the combination of what you’re thinking and
feeling, what’s happening in your body, and your energetic system. It’s the sum of your
conscious mind, unconscious mind, and Higher self.
The Universe – or All-That-Is – “hears” your vibration as a request. Because of the Law of
Attraction – which can be defined as like attracts like – the Universe will send you more of
what you’re vibrating.
Kathryn’s Six Steps to Manifesting Your Desires:
1. Identify what you don’t want.
2. Know what you do want.
3. Clear your blocks to receiving it and believe you will receive it.
4. Ask for it and activate the Law of Attraction.
5. Give thanks for it.
6. Act on any intuition or Guidance.
If you want to use the Law of Attraction and manifestation, learn how to use these six
steps to manifestation.
Briefly, this is how they work… (Read on for a more detailed explanation of each step.)
Step 1: Know What You Don’t Want
Pay attention to what isn’t working in your life, what you’re complaining about, and what
you don’t like. Life is always giving us experiences that we don’t want so that we can
discern what we do want. Recognizing that something’s happening in your life that you
don’t want is the first step to manifestation and can inform the second step.
So… make a list of what you don’t want.
4
Step 2: Know What You Do Want
Using your list of what you don’t want, ask yourself…
“If I don’t want ____________, what I do want is ____________.”
Make your list of what you do want from this. Read it over and ask yourself if there is
anything else you do want.
Once you know what you want you’re ready for step three...
Step 3: Clear Your Blocks and Believe You Will Receive It
Clearing blocks can take time and patience. It might involve healing and changing your
thinking.
Some blocks clear easily by shifting your thinking. An affirmation exercise I share in the
How to Manifest Anything e-course can help you identify your block(s) and form new
neural pathways.
Other blocks are more deeply entrenched and connected to negative beliefs. Experiencing
emotions, using expressive movement, and breathing deeply can help unlock their hold.
If you want help clearing your blocks, consider Manifestation Coaching.
It can be a lot easier to work with someone who doesn’t believe your block is true and
who can help you heal, change your thinking, and get unstuck than doing this by yourself.
Step 4: Ask For It and Activate the Law of Attraction:
When you’re ready you can ask for what you want and activate the Law of Attraction.
Briefly, here are a few ways to ask for it:
• Create a vision board and post it somewhere you will see regularly.
• Post affirmations around - like on your refrigerator or desk.
• Imagine being the person who has manifested your desire - what are you
thinking, doing, feeling... how are you interacting with others? Be this person.
5
Step 5: Give Thanks For It
The Law of Attraction and manifestation work! Go ahead and give thanks for what you’ve
asked for because it is coming!
Gratitude aligns us with the energy of the Divine and feels great.
When truly spoken from a place of total belief and true gratitude, your vibration tells the
Universe that you know what you’ve asked for is coming. Nothing is more powerful in
activating the Law of Attraction and manifesting your desires.
Step 6: Intuition and Guidance
Through intuition and Guidance, the Universe helps us know what to do – if we need to do
anything. If you get a feeling to call a friend, or go to the store, or write an email – do it.
This is the way the Universe communicates to us and lets us know what we need to do.
6
The Emotional Guidance System
Your Emotional Guidance System is directly connected to your Higher Self. Moment by
moment, it lets you know if your actions, thoughts, and words are moving you towards
what you really want or away from it.
I learned about the emotional guidance system through the work of Esther Hicks who
channels a group of guides that call themselves “Abraham.” Even though some people
might think that channeling is weird or too out there... I share this information because
THE INFORMATION MAKES SENSE to me!
You can visit their website or buy any of their books or CDs for more information.
Your emotional guidance system – and we each have one – communicates to you through
your feelings. It tells you whether or not your thoughts, actions, and words are
pointing you TOWARDS or AWAY from what you REALLY want.
To use the Emotional Guidance System you have to be aware of what you’re feeling and
the sensations in your body.
If you’re experiencing “good” feelings... or a sense of opening and flow in your body...
then your thoughts, actions, or words are in alignment with what you want.
If you’re experiencing “bad” feelings... or a sense of closing or tightening in your body...
then your thoughts, actions, or words are not in alignment with what you want.
For example, if I’m feeling open and increasingly positive feelings like optimism,
hopefulness, excitement, vitality, and then all the way to... joy, love, empowerment,
and peace, then I can know that my thoughts, words, and actions are moving me
towards what I Really want… and I am consciously allowing my connection to Source to
be open and flowing.
If I’m feeling tense, closed, and increasingly negative feelings like, discouragement,
frustration, anger, hopelessness, shame, despair, or fear, then I can know that my
thoughts, words, and actions are pointed away from what I Really want... and I’ve
forgotten my connection with Source.
I personally make it a practice to notice throughout the day how I’m feeling.
7
When I check in with myself I can assess if my thoughts, actions, and words are pointed
towards or away from what I really want.
If I’m pointed away... then I use manifestation Step 1 and Step 2 to shift my
focus.
Spirituality
I’ve come to believe that the process of manifestation is ultimately a spiritual one.
It’s my experience that what we want at the deepest level of our being – not just what
we think we want – is to awaken and manifest our True Nature in every
moment...
Following our Emotional Guidance System helps us consistently use the Law of Attraction
and consciously co-create our lives in alignment with what really matters
to us.

Manifesting Anything - Step 1
Know What You DON’T Want!
The first step to manifesting your desires is knowing what you don’t want because...
From knowing what you don’t want you can better identify what you do want.
Manifestation is the process and practice of
transforming your desires into reality.
To do this... You need to know what you really want.
Many of us feel stuck circling around the same complaints over and over. We often don’t
even get around to identifying our desires in some sort of practical or useful form.
We may say them with wishful longing. For example, “When I win the $30,000,000,000
lottery, I’ll be happy to give you some money, buy my dream home, take a great vacation,
and do work that I love. Oh, if only I could win the lottery.”
Sound familiar?
Instead of manifesting our desires, most of us think about...
• How little money we have
• How annoying it is when our partner, friend, boss, or child doesn’t listen to us
• How frustrating it is to not get the business we think we want
• How we want to lose weight but eat cookies, cake, or brownies instead of
exercising.
What I love about the first step to manifestation is that when I use it, my mind shifts
from complaint to possibility and my mood goes from hopelessness to excited.
So let me tell you how this step works.
Whenever you find yourself complaining or being upset about something, recognize that
this is the first step to manifestation.
For example, recently I’ve been feeling annoyed that my schedule is very full and I feel
like I don’t have time to relax.
9
I could easily rationalize the situation and stay in upset. I could think, most, if not all, of
the things that I’m doing are wonderful and I should be grateful because I have so many
great things going on in my life, but…
…while the feeling of gratitude gives me some relief, I still feel too busy, stressed, and
annoyed.
IF I notice that in fact I’m feeling upset...
...AND I remember that this is the first step to manifesting my desires...
THEN... I get to ask myself, “If I don’t like feeling too busy and stressed, what do I want?”
When I do this I begin to feel hopeful.
I remember I can create my future to be other than my present because conscious
manifestation is the intentional practice and process of transforming my desires into
reality. And it works!
The Observer
To do this process I need to have my “Observer” present.
This is the part of ourselves that can notice what we’re thinking and doing. Without an
Observer, we will continue to think and behave in our habitual ways and not even realize
we’re doing it.
This is much like what we do when we’re unconsciously breathing or brushing our teeth –
we go through the motions, but we’re not aware of the sensations.
The Observer part of our selves is different from our Judge or Critic part.
Often, when I explain the concept of Observer to my clients they at first confuse it with
the self-conscious part of themselves that notices what they’re doing and criticizes
themselves for it. For example, if the Judge is activated, it might say, “See, all you do is
complain. You’ll never get ahead that way.”
The Observer is neutral. It doesn’t judge either positively or negatively. It just notices.
When your Observer is present, you might think, “I notice I just complained that I don’t
have enough money.”
The practice of mindfulness helps us develop our observer.
10
I encourage you to take on this practice...
For the rest of this week observe your thinking and speaking and notice anytime you
complain, feel annoyed, or don’t like something that’s happening.
If you’re new to this practice, you might want to ask a buddy to partner with you. The
two of you could develop a gentle way of reminding each other to notice any time you
complain or you talk about something that upsets you.
There is nothing wrong with feeling upset or annoyed or to not like something. In fact,
it’s a great thing because it’s the first step to manifesting your desires – if we use it to
be that.
It’s what we do with our experience that separates the conscious
co-creators from the victims – or non-manifesters.
A person who is a conscious manifester will observe her or himself complaining or feeling
bad and then go to the next step… “If I don’t want _______________, what I do want is
____________?”
11
Know What You DO Want…
Manifestation is the process of transforming your desires into reality.
To manifest your desires all you have to do is know what you really want and then
imagine with all of your senses that you are experiencing what you want to
be, do or have NOW.
When you do this, because of the Law of Attraction, the experience or thing you desire
will manifest into physical form.
The first manifestation step - Know What You Don’t Want - can help you clarify what you
do want.
What I love and find extremely challenging about the second step – Know What You DO
Want – is getting it that I really do have a say in what happens in my life and
on the planet.
By uncovering and naming what I really want, I am, in a sense, wording the world into
existence.
By owning this step, I truly claim my power as a conscious co-creator with
the universe.
Since you can manifest ANYTHING you REALLY want…
What do you want to be, do, or have so much that you will clear your blocks to it, practice
imagining it is so, and allow it to manifest?
Conscious, Unconscious, & Higher Self...
Three Parts – Wanting Different Things!
When we align the desires of our conscious, unconscious, and Higher self, we become
Master Manifesters and are able to effortlessly attract anything we want.
However, most of us don’t start off with these three parts even in the same room – much
less wanting the same thing.
12
For me the practice of manifestation step two, knowing what I DO want, is a spiral process
of identifying, integrating, letting go, and aligning the desires of these three aspects of
myself.
For example...
My conscious mind wants an income that gives me the freedom to live in the
home of my desires and keep it well tended.
However, when I check in at a deeper level - to my unconscious, I am aware of a
feeling/thought that is something like, “Ha! Like you’ll ever be able to afford to
live in a great home and have the money to maintain it.”
When I ask my higher self about this, the message I receive is that Awakening
and being fully present in every cell is what most matters to me.
So, then, what do I do??? How do I know what to manifest?
These days I use the Emotional Guidance System to help me discern what I want.
However, in the past I used two other exercises that helped me. I’ll share them with you
here in case they’re helpful for you as well.
One exercise has us explore the Essence qualities of the object of our desires.
Essence qualities include joy, peace, love, wisdom, intimate depth, truth,
energy, presence, and connection – to name a few. When we explore them, we gain
clarity about what our Higher Self is longing for us to experience.
To do this exercise, ask yourself, “What are the Essence qualities I think I will experience
when I have manifested
(the object of my desire)
?”
In my situation, the Essence qualities I think I will experience when I have manifested an
income that allows me to live well in the home of my choice are...
• ease
• home – a sense of belonging
• power/strength
• connection with others
13
If I ask my Higher Self about manifesting these experiences, the response is, “You are
already That. Let yourself experience these qualities and the home will come.”
This second exercise is to find out what our unconscious wants.
Write or say an affirmation that states that you are already experiencing the object of your
desire then write or say the first thoughts that arise.
Those first thoughts are often our unconscious’ objections and/or desires.
My affirmation is, “I am enjoying a life of ease in my wonderful and well
maintained home.”
My first thoughts are, “I can’t afford that. It’ll just be a lot of work. I don’t want
to because it’s too much work. I like my life just as it is. I don’t want to work
harder or more.”
As you can see by this example, I still have some blocks to manifesting a wonderful home
that is well tended.
I wonder… Do I really want it?
Having a better understanding of our blocks to manifestation and how to clear them can
help us figure out what to do...
Check out the third step to manifestation – Believe you will receive your desires by
clearing your blocks to them and opening the flow of abundance.
Working through the third step gives us the confidence and willingness to shift our
vibration into alignment with the object of our desire and imagine it into physical form.
14
Believe you will Receive by Opening the Flow of Abundance
and Clearing Your Blocks
When we use the process of manifesting our desires, we transform them from a wish or
idea into tangible reality – something we can truly experience and enjoy.
To manifest your desires all you have to do is know what you really want and then use all
of your senses to imagine that you are being, doing or having it NOW. When you do this,
because of the Law of Attraction, the experience or thing you desire will manifest into
physical form.
The third step of the process of manifesting your desires is –
Believe you will receive your desire by opening the flow of
abundance and clearing your blocks to it.
For many of us - including me - this can be the most challenging of the steps because of,
often unconscious, negative beliefs like...
• I don’t deserve it.
• I can’t have what I want.
• I’m not wanted.
To believe you will receive your desire I recommend a two part process.
Open yourself to the flow of abundance using breath, movement, and gratitude.
Clear your blocks and doubts so that you can allow yourself to attract your desires.
Being in a state of abundance has us vibrate in alignment with the
universe. When we are in this state and thinking about our desires, the universe
believes that we really want them.
15
When we don’t believe we will receive our desires, because of the Law of Attraction, our
desires won’t come to us... and...
• We experience scarcity or lack.
• We feel separate from Source.
• Usually our breath is shallow or restricted.
• Our body feels tight or fatigued.
• Our mind is stuck in thoughts of lack.
So if you want to engage in the process of manifesting consider...
Opening the Flow of Abundance
Allowing the flow of abundance begins with mindfulness. With mindfulness we can notice
whether our breath is shallow or full, if our body feels tense or relaxed, or if our thoughts
are focused on struggle or appreciation.
With the mindful Observer present, we have a possibility of choice. We’re not just reacting
to what happens, but we’re observing and choosing how we respond to whatever situation
we are in.
Breath
To help this process, I encourage you to have a conscious, abdominal breathing practice.
With this practice you can re-educate your body to engage in full relaxed breaths. This
opens your body and allows chi – or the abundant Lifeforce of the Universe – to flow in
freely with the breath.
Body and Movement
Using movement to open the flow of abundance is just as important as breath.
If your body is stuck in holding patterns or has a limited movement repertoire, it
can be very difficult to access a new vibration no matter how much you try to
change your thinking.
16
To open up your body, you can –
• Practice mindful movement.
• Receive body work such as massage, craniosacral therapy, and acupuncture.
• Learn body and movement awareness from an Alexander technique teacher or
Feldenkrise practitioner.
• Do healing work with a dance/movement therapist or a breathworker.
• Do Manifestation Coaching with me because I use movement and breathwork
with my clients when they want to use it.
• Use my “Getting Unstuck” program (coming in early 2011).
Gratitude
Gratitude is a relatively simple and life altering practice that opens the
flow of abundance.
Take a moment and think about all that you are grateful for and notice what happens to
your breath and your body. You can be grateful for something as simple as the blue sky
or the sound of the birds or as significant as the important people in your life and the
opportunities you have had to grow.
When we shift into gratitude, we make contact with the flow of abundance that is ever
present.
Now what?…
In addition to making these overall shifts into an abundant state of being using breath,
movement, and gratitude, most of us need to clear our blocks to manifesting our desires.
Clearing Blocks
Clearing blocks may include doing the emotional work of transforming negative beliefs or
the cognitive process of unlocking habitual thinking. When we stop worrying by
changing our thinking a whole new life experience becomes available.
Sometimes it’s easy and quick and other times it takes a long time and seems unrelenting.
I also use the Commitment Exercise and Affirmation Playtime to transform negative
beliefs. These are cognitive exercises that I explain in the companion “How to Manifest
Anything” e-course. They’re both powerful tools that I’ve used for years that help us
change our thinking.
17
Blocks
There are several different types of blocks. Here are a few of the ones I have experienced
or observed most often:
Starting Gate Blocks
These occur when a person doubts that whatever he or she wants is possible and quits
before even starting. Thoughts related to this block include, “I can’t; it’s not possible; it’s
not going to work; nobody wants me to do this.” This block can be related to our core
wound(s), so sometimes deep healing is necessary to evolve
past it.
No Results Blocks
These happen when a person has been using the process of manifesting and doing all of
the work needed to attract his or her desires but because of no results quits too soon.
When we quit our vibration shifts back to how we were before we began and nothing ever
changes. Unfortunately when we use this block or the Starting Gate block, we stop the
process before it even begins and never experience success.
Unconscious/Conscious Misalignment Blocks
These occur when our unconscious wants something other than what our conscious mind
desires.
For example, I’ve applied the process of manifesting to attracting clients and manifesting a
full practice. When it didn’t happen, I explored my blocks and realized that another part of
me (an unconscious child-like part) didn’t want to work that hard!
Success Happens and You Quit Blocks
These are the result of being afraid of success. Most of us have experienced times when
things are going well and then somehow something happens and we “sabotage” it. You
need to give yourself “permission to succeed.”
A few years ago, I had gotten back into exercising regularly after about a three year
hiatus and I was starting to feel physically fit. Then, someone accidentally jumped on my
toe and I wasn’t able to wear exercise shoes or go to the gym for months! As much as I
would have liked to believe that this was totally outside of my control, I wondered if this
block decided to “intervene” and prevent me from feeling great!
18
Higher Self/Conscious/Unconscious Misalignment Blocks
These occur when our Higher Self is not in alignment with what we say we want.
If we don’t Really want, at the deepest level of our being, what our conscious mind says
we want, we will feel conflicted about manifesting it. To help alleviate this block, I use the
Emotional Guidance System to access what I really want.
What Then? Blocks…
For some reason I love the challenge of going for a goal. So if I achieve it then what? I no
longer have something to work towards! What’s helped me not be controlled by this block
is that I learned that we have an infinite supply of desires. So, when I have manifested my
current desires, I’ll be able to go on to my next ones! Yahoo!
19
Ask for it and Activate the Law of Attraction
Many people who want to learn how to manifest begin with this step. They use
affirmations and sometimes create vision boards. While this can and does work at
times, sometimes people get discouraged because they don’t get results right away.
To really understand how to manifest and feel empowered to manifest anything,
it helps to learn about and use all 6 manifestation steps and the Emotional Guidance
System.
Once you’ve identified what you don’t want and used this awareness to clarify what you
do want, and cleared your blocks to receiving it, it’s time to use the 4th step by asking for
what you want and activating the Law of Attraction.
There are several techniques to ask for what you want including...
• Creating a vision board
• Using affirmations
• Prayer
• Identifying intentions
• Multi-sensory imaging
Each of these techniques work in a slightly different way…
Vision boards are great. They are a picture representation of what you want. You might
have heard them called treasure maps.
Create a Vision Board
1. Get some magazines with images you like.
2. Cut out pictures and words that feel good to you or resonate positively. You
don’t have to understand what you like about the images.
3. Paste them on a poster board.
4. Use markers or anything else to write on and add to your vision board the
words, images, or textures you can’t find in magazines.
5. Hang it up where you can see it regularly.
6. No need to do anything else. Just watch what happens over time.
20
On my 40th birthday I created my first vision board. On that vision board I had
images of plants, a candle, figures of people gathered around in classes, the
word breath.
I remember at the time feeling that the part about my work would never
manifest - it felt impossible that there would ever be that many people in my
practice or in workshops I taught.
About 4 or 5 years later, I looked at the vision board and was amazed that every
image on it had manifested – not exactly how I had originally thought they
would – but in a way that felt totally satisfying.
Affirmations are present tense statements that usually include a feeling word. Like…
I am joyfully seeing 25 clients every week.
A lot of people think affirmations don’t work because they try them a few times and either
nothing happens or the opposite happens.
Affirmations work best when we have cleared most of our blocks.
If we haven’t, we can use affirmations until we’re blue in the face, but because every time
we say the affirmation we unconsciously think or feel the opposite, we’ll still be sending
out the vibration of our block rather than what we want.
But wait… There’s good news!
You can use affirmations to clear blocks. Find out how in the “How to Manifest
Anything” e-course and then you’ll be able to clear your blocks and unstick any negative
or blocked thinking you have.
If you’ve cleared out your blocks, you can use the “sixty-eight second” rule...
The “sixty-eight second rule” comes from Abraham (of Abraham-Hicks). The idea is that if
we hold a thought to be true for 68 seconds or longer, it is “planted in the Universe” and
will manifest. For this to work and to “hold a thought to be true,” you have to feel as if it’s
happening now – not just say or think the words.
21
Most people who are just learning how to manifest hold a thought for about 2 seconds...
For example...
“I am seeing 27 clients a week... Yeah, like that is going to happen.”
This is like stepping forward and back, forward and back, forward and back between what
you want and what’s happening now... and the Universe gets confused about what you
really want. So nothing changes.
To use the 68 second rule and “hold the thought,” I say the affirmation and then elaborate
on it by adding more details about what’s happening. As I do this, I both see it happening
in my mind (as if I’m looking out through my eyes) and feel in my body the sensations of
it happening now. I do this for 68 seconds or more to the best of my ability.
If you want to manifest quickly, do this for 3-5 times a day for several days or weeks in a
row. Expect change! It will come quickly!
Another way to use affirmations is to write them daily to remind yourself of your
desires or post them somewhere that you will see regularly. This keeps them fresh in your
mind, activates cognitive dissonance, and over time changes will happen.
Prayer is one of my favorite ways of asking for what I desire because when I use prayer
I experience my sense of connection with the Divine. I often use prayer when I feel
stumped and need help with something. For example, I might ask in prayer something
like, “I really want to see twenty-seven clients a week, please help me attract them and
show me what I need to do to help create this.”
Sometimes I’ll ask, “Will you help me attract clients and show or tell me what I need to
do?” These days I usually get an answer and most of the time it’s, “Yes.” Then I just say,
“Thank you,” and go about my life. Something usually happens that day or very soon.
Intentions are fun as well! When I use intentions, I sense what wants to happen. For
example, “I intend to continue to work on this website until it is well used by many people
and providing them with very helpful information.” I think intentions work because they
call forth a sense of inner knowing about what wants to happen.
If you haven’t used intentions, take a moment to think about the next twenty-four hours,
connect to your heart, and ask it what you intend to do, create, or manifest. Write it down
and then let it go. Tomorrow look back at what you wrote and see if what you wrote
manifested.
22
Multi-sensory imaging is one of the most powerful tools you can practice if you want
to learn how to manifest.
With it you can harness the power of your imagination through intentional, focused
practice. This is what I wrote about in the first few pages of this e-book.
With multi-sensory imaging, we take visualization to the next level and use all our senses
to imagine what we want happening now.
Practice Multi-Sensory Imaging
1. Get into a comfortable position sitting or lying down.
2. Relax your body and mind.
3. Focus on your breath.
4. Imagine a future day when you have already manifested your desire.
5. Imagine you are really there, as if you are the star in the movie, not
watching yourself but looking out from you own eyes and experiencing it
through your own body.
6. Notice how you feel emotionally and physically. If you don’t feel joyful, there
is a good chance you either don’t really want to manifest this desire or you
haven’t cleared your blocks.
7. If you feel joyful, bring the experience closer to you by imagining that it is
actually happening today – the day you are doing this process instead of in
the future.
8. See what needs to shift inside of you to allow that to be true.
9. As you complete with this process, I encourage you to ask for any Guidance
to help you manifest this desire.
10. See what arises.
11. Slowly bring your awareness fully back to the present moment and open your
eyes.
12. Recall how you felt in your body and what you were thinking during the
process.
13. Write down whatever feels important to help you remember your experience.
When we vibrate as if our desire is so, we consciously activate the Law of Attraction and
what we desire will manifest at the right time. Once we have gone through the first four
steps, we can be assured whatever we want is coming to us. Gratitude (the fifth step)
closes the loop in the process.
23
Give Thanks for It
We are powerfully co-creating our experience here on this planet. The more
I learn about manifestation, the more in awe I am about how powerful we all are.
Manifestation is the practice of transforming our desires into reality. Remember, the six
steps to manifestation include:
• Know what you don’t want
• Know what you do want
• Believe you will receive it by clearing your blocks to it and opening the flow of
abundance
• Ask for it
• Give thanks for it
• Follow any intuition or Guidance you receive
Practicing these six steps to manifestation seem to me to be an ongoing process of fine
tuning and aligning what I think I want with what I really want and using these steps to
attract it. I circle back around and around through each of these steps with the different
areas of my life including:
• work
• money
• relationships
• my body
• spiritual practice
• my home
Each time I circle around through these steps I fine tune what I have
created and what I want to create next. And my life gets better and better. As I do this,
what I have learned is that this process is truly limitless and it seems to me that
infinite abundance is possible for each of us.
As I work with myself and clients in my Manifestation Coaching practice, I notice that
some of us understand that we really can manifest anything and we are reaching
for the next most wonderful experience, state of being, or thing that we want.
24
Others of us seem to not yet understand this possibility – appearing stuck and
continuously recreating similar “bad” experiences just in different locations. For me,
when I am able to step out of my limited thinking box, I am in awe at how stuck I had
been a moment before compared to the expansiveness I experience when my imagination
and mind are liberated.
To help us get unstuck, I’m creating a 12 month subscription e-course called Getting
Unstuck: Liberating Yourself from your Habitual Thoughts, Feelings, Behaviors, and
Relationship Patterns. It will be available in early 2011.
With the processes in the Getting Unstuck e-course, you’ll be able to more fully release
your blocks, use your Emotional Guidance System, consciously co-create your life, and use
the six manifestation steps including…
The fifth step to manifestation: Give Thanks For It
If you have identified what you don’t want and gained clarity about what you do want;
cleared your blocks to receiving it and opened to the flow of abundance; and asked for
what you really want...
... Then you can be certain you will receive your desire.
Practicing gratitude by giving thanks for it acknowledges to the Universe your belief in
receiving it. In a way it closes the loop.
Imagine that a friend has asked a favor of you and you’ve agreed to it.
Your friend knows she can count on you so she expresses her gratitude to you
prior to you actually doing the favor. How does that feel?
Now imagine the same situation, but your friend does not express gratitude
before you do the favor... In fact, even though you’ve agreed to do it, she
actually says, “Can I count on you to do this?” How does that feel?
For me, in the first scenario, I feel certain I will do it. In the second, I wonder if
I will.
When we express sincere gratitude to the Universe for what we have asked, it’s as if we
are feeling and saying, with certainty, “I know you are sending this to me.”
25
Manifestation uses the Law of Attraction. We attract that which we are vibrating and
believe to be true. When we give thanks it strengthens our vibration because we see it
definitely coming.
If you are a beginner in this process, I encourage you to practice gratitude for things
that are already here. For example, today I can give thanks for the beautiful day and the
wonderful breeze blowing through my office; for my health; for money in the bank; for
my son and my friends; and for my willingness to do consistent spiritual practice.
You can say it out loud, write it down, or just think it. See what happens. For me this
simple practice shifts my mood – and therefore my vibration.
If you are experienced in imagining things to be so even when they have not yet
manifested, practice gratitude for all that you desire and can imagine. Watch your desires
flow to you even more easily.
Check out the last and sixth step to manifestation: Follow any intuition or Guidance you
receive. One of the ways the Universe helps us to manifest our desires is by giving us
Guidance. Listening for and acting on that Guidance is the last step in the process of
manifestation.
26
Follow any Intuition and Guidance
Intuition or Guidance comes in different forms. Examples include...
• A gut feeling about something or somebody
• A fleeting thought to do something that repeats multiple times
• A message that comes from outside of yourself - other people, the TV, a book
• An image that pops in your mind
If you have been practicing the other fives steps of manifestation...
• Identify what you don’t want.
• Know what you do want.
• Clear your blocks to receiving it.
• Ask for it and activate the Law of Attraction.
• Give thanks for it.
... Then you can expect to experience intuition or Guidance. It is one of the
ways the Universe communicates with us and tells us what we need to do to manifest our
desires.
In other words, for manifestation to work, sometimes we have to do something – like go
somewhere to meet a new business contact or call a friend to learn about a workshop that
will help us reduce stress and high blood pressure.
You can trust that you don’t have to figure out all the details and... Trust that, if you need
to do something, your intuition and Guidance will tell you what it is.
If a message repeats itself three or more times
I highly recommend acting on it.
I have discovered that when I act on my intuition or Guidance, my life flows more
smoothly than when I don’t. (Editing this ebook at this moment is an example of following
Guidance.)
I used to procrastinate on a lot of tasks. Once I learned that when I get an impulse to
do something it’s usually Guidance helping me out with the flow of my life, I began a
“just do it” practice.
27
My willingness to do this has increased both my productivity
and inner peace tremendously!
Some of my clients have told me that following intuition or Guidance is the hardest
manifestation step for them. I believe it’s hard for a couple of different reasons...
Some of us are just too busy to actually notice the messages as they arise.
Others of us don’t trust or have faith in our messages.
We can be so caught up in thinking through something, controlling a situation, or just
doing our to-do lists, that we don’t hear, feel, or see the support that we are being
bombarded with every day.
Meditation is a useful tool to change this habit. It can help us “be here now” so that we
can notice what is arising in this moment. If you are a beginner to meditation you may
have noticed that your mind races and jumps from one thought to another even if you
have an intention of focusing on something like your breath or your body sensations.
Sometimes it’s hard to focus because we’re not practiced at it. As we practice, we become
increasingly aware and begin to notice discomfort and aspects of our lives we had
previously denied. For example, with increased Presence, I’ve become aware of...
• how yucky I feel when I eat “junk” food...
• how lonely I feel when I experience a family member not really listening
to me...
• how sad I feel when I look at pictures of the mutilated faces of people who
have been in the war.
It can be scary and challenging to feel our feelings and change our actions or situations.
However, with enough awareness of our discomfort, we become willing to change.
Conscious manifestation is based on the desire to change something.
When you are Present enough to know you want to change something, I recommend
going back to step one and two of manifestation: identify what you don’t want and
become clear about what you do want. With increased Presence you will be able to go
through all of the manifestation steps at a deeper level and receive even more fulfilling
results.
28
What’s Possible…
Our birthright is to be fully alive and abundant.
The willingness and courage to reclaim these rights is what
manifestation is all about. It is an unfolding journey of ever
increasing depth and joy.
My vision is that all people on this planet claim these rights and
practice being conscious co-creators of their lives – living in
harmony with each other and all beings everywhere.
May it be so now.
