Manifestation Is Like Riding a Bike

The practice of deliberate manifestation can be tricky initially. 

It reminds me of learning to ride a bike. I remember it so clearly.

I saw others doing it and thought it looked fun but when I tried it, I kept falling over.

I could slowly move along with my feet on the ground, but as soon as I let that support go, down I went.

I was given clear instruction – ā€˜Take your feet off the ground and just pedal.’

But my feet on the ground kept me from falling and I couldn’t pedal with one foot on the ground. 

ā€œAhhhhhh!!!  I’ll never get it!!ā€  I remember being so upset with my repeated failure at what initially looked like so much fun.

The art of conscious manifestation is similar.

  • It looks so fun, but can be harder than it looks.
  • Instruction is clear – ā€˜Get clear on what you desire and head in that direction.’
  • But when all we can see is the opposite to what we desire…how do we keep going?
  • Often we are trying to do it with 'one foot on the ground', feeling like we have to ā€˜figure it out’.
  • It's in letting go of the ā€˜knowing how’ we actually allow it to happen.

 

Doubt does the most damage. Doubt and fear tell us to rely on physical signs for confirmation. 

When manifesting our best life, we must let our heartfelt desires be our confirmation.

Don’t doubt them. If you want to doubt anything, doubt your fear.

How to practice riding the bike of manifestation:

  • GET ON YOUR BIKE: Be aware of what you desire. Give it clear and definite form.
  • PUT BOTH FEET ON THE PEDALS: Let yourself go there in your imagination; see it, feel it, hear it, smell it, touch it. Let your heart be filled with the joy of having / being it.
  • PEDAL, PEDAL, PEDAL!!! Persist in that state of mind as you walk towards it. Don’t let fear cause you to 'take your feet off the pedals'. When you cannot see what you think you need – keep your ā€˜feet on the pedals and pedal’. Holding that feeling of already living the fullness of your desire, will enable you to be conscious of the guidance every moment along your way.

 

The Law of Momentum keeps us upright on our bikes, but we have to take our feet off the ground and pedal to allow it to work.

The Law of Vibration dictates that we attract by the state we're in. To align with being in the state of having what we desire, we must take our eyes off the known, and engage faith.

Faith is not a flimsy support. Faith is a powerful state of allowing.

You have it in you. Like riding a bike - it takes practice.

Warmest regards

I sent you an email on Saturday, and the link wasn't quite right. Here's the correct link to get hold of the 5 Patterns Guide - 5 common patterns that keep people from living the way they want to - and how to begin the shift. You can download the 5 Patterns Guide here.  Di ā™”      
Just Notice
I’ve been thinking a lot about awareness this week. Not awareness in some big, spiritual, complicated sense. Just noticing. Noticing what I say "yes" to automatically. Noticing the thought I have every time a particular opportunity comes up. Noticing when I dismiss an idea - even before I’ve given it a chance. Noticing the way I speak to myself when something doesn’t go to plan. Noticing is pow...
You Already Know
I’ve had a couple of weeks where an idea I’ve been carrying for a long time has become much clearer. And it’s left me fascinated by what we all have in us. Often, when we’re struggling with something — a decision, a relationship, our business, our confidence, our time — we can tend to think we needĀ something else, something more to add. More discipline. More motivation. More confidence. A bette...
