3 Tools to Align with Your Power

My friend and colleague, Cindy Silbert, inspired me with her recent article on manifesting your desires because she talks about alignment from a different angle–aligning yourself with the flow and power of the universe. Pilates provides an excellent way to align your mind with your body. Here are 3 additional tools to un-clutter your mind and make space to manifest everything you desire. Enjoy!

3 Ways to Manifest Your True Desires

-By Cindy Silbert

When things are not quite showing up as fast as you’d like or in a way that is unlike what you’ve imagined, a normal reaction is to try harder, meditate more, or tell the Universe what you want again, again and again (as if it didn’t hear you the first time!).

According the dictionary, manifesting is the act of revealing, making evident or clear. Manifesting is the process of allowing what you desire to become evident to you and, through the process of alignment, allowing your desires to become real evidence in your life. On any given day we’re faced with all sorts of evidence about what we’ve managed to manifest in our life. Sometimes the evidence is exactly what we wanted and other times – not so much!

The temptation is to think that we did something wrong or need to try harder. As you attach to the evidence of what you don’t want, you do three things: 1) Become hooked and out of alignment 2) Expand what you don’t want by resisting it and 3) Constrict the space and energy around you so that the Universe literally cannot co-create with you. The Universe needs space to deliver something new! When you are attached to any outcome, even if it your truest and deepest desire, you are “not allowing” the Universe to deliver it to you. Your desires are there waiting but unable to manifest into your life experience because the flow of energy, the channel of deliver, is literally constricted.

The vibration we feel tells us if we’re in alignment or not. We can’t think our way into alignment we have to feel our way there. When we come into alignment with our true desires, little-by-little our thoughts, actions and expression become totally aligned with what we want. Alignment allows us to naturally release resistance and allow flow of energy, resonance with our desires and manifestation from the Universe. When we over think, over intend or put our attention on the absence of our desires such as calculating down to the minute how long it’s been since we requested what we wanted and the fact that it hasn’t shown up – we are pushing, forcing or positive thinking our way into alignment which creates resistance telling the Universe we DON’T want what we really DO want.

Here are three ways you can increase your vibration and manifest your true desires.

1. Clarity – If you are not clear, vacillating between what you don’t want and what you do want or bouncing from worry to certainty, chances are you’re living in gray matter with a flat-lined vibration. Living in the gray creates the experience of two steps forward and one step back, sabotage, vicious cycles or inching toward your goals but not quite breaking through. When you gain clarity, you move from gray to black and white on your way to manifesting your desires and in full living color. If you try to manifest from gray it only creates more shades of gray. It’s essential to get to black and white clarity first. You can create clarity by using this test, “If it’s not a yes, it’s a no.” Clean out your mental closets, to do list and even dreams with this test. Make a list of anything causing confusion, not manifesting, waiting you down, and robbing your energy or just plain annoying you. Go through each item and ask if it’s a “yes” or a “no”. The next step takes courage. Clear, complete or let go of everything that is not a “yes” – even if it’s a dream. Many times our dreams become something we lug forward from year to year. Letting go of the heaviness of an unfulfilled dream can give you a new lease on life and send your vibration off the charts.

2. Alignment – Manifestation happens when your physical vibration resonates with your true desires (like a symphony!). When you connect with your heart’s desires, you can feel a shift in your physical vibration. You CAN’T create a positive vibration through forced thought (in that action there is resistance to what you don’t want and thus you will create it). You can create natural resonance (an explosion of vibration when two like energies align) when you connect with thoughts or what we call “aligning statements” that are aligned with or capture your true desires to the point where you can feel yourself align within. This alignment creates a simultaneous release of energy and increased vibration. Fear, worry and self-doubt are untruths that take you out of alignment and create resistance or a barrier between you and your natural resonance. Alignment and resonance comes naturally as you detach from or clear what is untrue (that false place you’ve been entrapped in or living from).

3. Non-Attachment – Manifesting is in many ways counterintuitive to our minds and certainly our egos. True manifesting occurs when we manage to un-think, un-attach, un-do and let go. True manifesting requires you to find feminine power in feeling vulnerable and trust in your worthiness of receiving what you truly want from the masculine energy of the Universe. Practice non-attachment by noticing (without judging, measuring or attaching to) everything in your life especially the evidence of what you don’t want showing up. Breathe and open to possibility feeling energy and space open up around you. Fill the space with your aligning statements, doing something joyful or getting excited about what you’re creating in your life.

    I wholeheartedly agree with your statements about worry and fear blocking your alignment to manifest what you DO want. I feel its a habit with me, I know what I want BUT I let those creeping negative thoughts pop into my mind, and I know deep down I wont get what I have requested, any more tips on how to trust the universe to supply us with what we have asked for???

    Thank you for your feedback. It does seem difficult to manifest what we want sometimes–especially when worry and fear from our egos tell us we’re not worthy. You made an interesting comment, you said, “I know deep down I won’t get what I have requested.” It sounds like we have to change the conversation that’s happening “deep down” so that you can trust that the universe will provide. In order to make this shift, you will have to give something up. There is an old story you are telling yourself that isn’t serving you anymore. I don’t know what it is, but perhaps you do. If not, then pray and/or meditate about it, asking for what deep inside is holding you back to be revealed to you. And then remain open and willing to learn, grow and heal old wounds. Also, try praying for the graces of patience and trust. And keep me posted!
