5 mins. of comic spiritual relief
How I manifest parking spots and my wildest dreams.
Boring. Manifestation. Everyone talks about that hippy dippy woo woo stuff, but come on this is reality. You can’t just manifest parking spots and houses, jobs, your perfect partner, etc. You have to work for it, go get it, move your ass, make things happen. You can’t just send off a wish and expect some god-like figure to organize everyone else to make your wish happen. Come on, let’s get real. RIGHT? RIGHT?
Sorry, you’re not going to get an agreement from me, a self proclaimed tree hugger and active manifester, who thoroughly believes in energy and making magic happen.
Actually, I am also quite left-brained. I don’t believe anything until I experience it for myself.
That’s why I believe in making magic, because I know it works. I do it all the time.
5 MINS. of COMIC SPIRITUAL RELIEF ABOUT MANIFESTATION AND MAGIC
Take my last magical manifestation.
The Scene: I need to move desperately. My relationship is not going well, I’m feeling stifled. We’re in serious tension. I need a home.
But, I have super high expectations, I won’t just live anywhere. I want to only live in gorgeous places surrounded by nature, that are less than an hour from San Francisco, near the ocean and not pay too much rent. I want to live in Bolinas.
Great. There is not one advertisement for any place to rent in Bolinas or even west marin. The average price to buy a house out here is 3 million dollars. I know people that have spent years looking for a home to rent in Bolinas and never found it. I decided I need a place within 1 month.
I start asking around. I get two proposals. One, from a wonderful artist friend who proposes I can stay in a mini school bus, where my head doesn’t quite fit in. The idea is charming and bohemian. But not quite what I’m imagining.
Then I have another option, a cabin. It’s the size of a bathroom with a loft for the bed. The condition: I have to walk two dogs, 3 times a week at 7 in the morning. Oh, by the way, the dogs attack other dogs.
Those are my options.
My desperation grows.
Hmmm. Perhaps I can buckle down and commit to the walking the dog thing. I can become a serious reliable person with a steady morning routine. Why can’t I get excited about this!? The rent is cheap. I can afford it. I hesitate.
The weeks pass. I’m seriously considering the dog and bathroom size cabin option.
I need to tell the owner by MONDAY if I’ll take it or not.
I talk to my therapist. She says, "Well, it sounds like you’re really good at manifesting, why don’t you do a ritual and manifest it?"
FRIDAY. I go to the beach and create a ritual.
First, I write down all the things I’m thankful to Bolinas for. I do a thank you dance. (Thank god no-one was there on the beach.)
Then I draw my house. I envision it. I feel it in every cell of my body. I can see it, I see the white couch, the windows, the light. It’s near the ocean. I’ve seen this image already multiple times in my head.
Then I yell out loud at the top of my lungs. "Bolinas spirits of the land! People of Bolinas! Houses of Bolinas! If I am to be a contribution here and this place is for me then you find me a house by MONDAY!!!"
Then I do another weird manifestation dance and go home.
SUNDAY. A friend I haven’t spoken to in over a year reaches out. She used to live in Bolinas, I mention my situation, she mentions that she has a friend there who might have a place to rent for a month or so.
I call her friend. She says come on by on MONDAY.
I go by. I enter the garden, it feels like an ashram. Flowers everywhere. Paradisiacal. It’s 1 block from the beach. The owner comes out, the feeling is warm, her partner offers me tea. I feel welcomed immediately.
She shows me to the studio on the other side of the garden. The second I step in. I see the image I had in my mind for over a month and the one I saw on the beach.
I tell her immediately I want to live there. Amazing.
We are Agreed. Move in April 1.
BUT… it might just be for two months as her mother might be coming back.
I decide to move in and bring everything I have anyway.
A week after moving in. She announces her mom isn’t coming back.
SO…
I CAN STAY.
And now, I’m here. How do I feel?
Exactly the same embodied feeling I had when I was manifesting this place.
I know, long story.
Manifestation. Magic. I do it all the time.
For parking spots. For places to live. For massage clients. For meeting new friends, etc.
How can you do it?
Believe in every cell of your body that what you want exists and is in your life. And trust the universe to organize it for you. And... ACT! when the universe offers you an opportunity.
Everything is made of energy.
When you become the vibration of what you want to manifest, the universe matches it. It’s called resonance.
When you strum a chord on a guitar, another guitar in the room will sound the same chord on it’s own.
Thus manifestation and magic work by YOU already becoming that what you want to manifest.
The only thing keeping things from happening is not believing that you can really have what you desire and trying to control.
