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 – ‘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. 

“Ahhhhhh!!!  I’ll never get it!!”  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 – ‘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 ‘figure it out’.
  • It's in letting go of the ‘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 ‘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

What If Your Desire Is the Evidence?
Have you ever had an idea that just wouldn’t let you go? In 2015 I caught myself thinking … “I want to help people be the best they can be.” And then I immediately shut it down. “How would I EVER do that? “ ♡ What’s your idea?...that one that just keeps hanging around. “… to travel overseas for a year.” “… to own my own home.” “… to start my own fashion label.” Those ideas feel so good when you...
Returning to Yourself
Just today I came across a piece of writing one of my daughters sent me a few years ago. She’d written an account of her thoughts and observations leading into an interaction we’d had a year after I began a new chapter in my life. Reading it again stirred my emotion, and my gratitude, for what she’d delivered to me that day. The account of events she’d written about was true. What hit me was ho...
Why Does This Keep Happening?
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to become consumed by something you don't want? It could be a problem you’re experiencing now, A situation you’re dreading,A person you don’t enjoying working with,A ‘what if’ scenario…. It crowds out your thinking. You discuss it over and over in your own head - and with anyone who’ll listen, You analyse it to death - pro’s and con’s, ‘what if’ this, ‘what ...
