GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO DO NOTHING
Below is a guide to how self care enhances your manifesting.
If you need some extra self care, check out these very powerful healing meditations:
Observe your breath
Set a timer for three minutes and become aware of your breathing. You don’t need to breathe in a certain way or force yourself to think of anything in particular. The point is simply to notice what is. When your mind wanders (which it absolutely will), just go back to noticing your breath. It does help to breathe out longer than you breathe in. This will relax your nervous system and lower your blood pressure.
Belly breathing
- Lay comfortably, placing your hands on your belly, just under your ribs.
- Take a deep breath in your nose and feel your hands raise. (avoid moving your chest or shoulders)
- Breathe out your mouth, feeling your hands go down as your belly releases the breath.
- Notice how different you feel after 2 or 3 minutes.
Colouring In
Colouring in – Yep! Just like we did when we were little. Are you the type of person who colours in the lines or splashes colour everywhere?!
Adult colouring is available for free on Google Images. Or check out Neurographic Art on YouTube.
Colouring in relaxes your mind like meditation. It can reduce stress and anxiety while improving your focus.
Body Work & Massage
I strongly believe the beautiful & effective energy work we do in a session goes hand in hand with physical bodywork, Such as Massage, Acupuncture and Chiropractic treatments. Stress and disruptive energy are stored in the body, and the physical body often needs extra support to release it, especially if the underlying stress has been there for years. Bodywork enhances your immune system and improves your circulation by flushing out toxins. For you this means an opportunity to feel truly comfortable in your own body.
If you are in Melbourne (Ferntree Gully) and are looking for a Chiropractor, Acupuncturist &/or Chinese Herbs, I HIGHLY recommend Lauren Surridge Lanzoni and her Team at Balanced Life Health Care. Balanced Life Health Care
Gratitude Text to a Friend
Sometimes, people go through hard times and need help finding hope.
In cases like this, I challenge them to text me five things they are grateful for EVERY DAY, for a fortnight. It’s one of the easiest ways to appreciate the simplest things in life and build on that reassurance.
Get in contact with one of your trusted closest friends. Set the challenge with one another to text each other every day for a fortnight about five things you’re grateful for: “The smile on your child’s face,” “Warmth on your skin in the daylight,” and “The new job you’re manifesting.”
Start the day with a Positive Intention
Activate your manifesting vibe by starting your morning with a positive intention. This tells your unconscious mind to look out for positive opportunities. “Everything will go my way today”. “I embrace who I am”. “I attract abundance and joy”. “I get paid to be me”.
One of my favorite manifesting processes that is similar to these affirmations, is to write out 100 possibilities to get excited about the future. “It is possible I can wake up with plenty of energy”, “It is possible to be inspired by the universe giving me more then enough health and vitality”.
Nourish Your Body
If your focus is on being the best version of yourself and you are investing time and money to do beautiful energy work and make powerful shifts within your mind, it is extremely important to look after your physical body. Eating healthy food (and drinking plenty of water) is crucial for our mood, energy, sleep, and attentiveness.
I heard Kyle Cease (a thought leader) say that he made a rule for himself that he would only eat raw vegan food for three months. If he deviated from this rule, even with just one cookie, he would pay a charity $10,000. Suddenly, that “one more cookie” would cost him enormously. Kyle reflected back that he noticed brilliant mental clarity, more energy, and quality access to his intuition, all of which resulted in amazing manifestations.
I’m not suggesting we go raw-vegan. My favourite comfort food is pancakes. There is a connection between eating well and manifesting well. If you’re having trouble with your weight, let me know. We can clear the limiting beliefs that are holding on to the weight.
Move that Gorgeous Body
Moving your body is essential to manifesting. Your body is a barometer of your vibration, and the law of attraction responds to this frequency. Simply put, if you are feeling stuck and fatigued, that’s your body’s way of telling you are out of alignment. We can clear that energy in a session. However, it is important you physically move to dissolve some of that stagnant energy. Oxygenate your body by walking, swimming, dancing, yoga, doing whatever feels right for you, etc.
Sit quietly for one minute and ask yourself, “What does my body need?” Observe what your body needs and take action.
Grounding Barefoot
Many healers say, “You need to ground” – but what does that even mean?!
In this modern world, science has proven that we accumulate positive charge or electricity in our bodies, which is not good for our well-being. We absorb electric & magnetic fields (EMF) from invisible forms of energy from phones, Wifi, etc. This causes inflammation, headaches, sleep problems, stress, etc. A simple and effective way to discharge the build-up of electricity to bring your body to balance is to stand on the earth – barefoot. Earth’s energy has a natural way to discharge the overload of electricity. Similar to the grounding wire in our homes.
This is known as GROUNDING. I highly encourage you to get your feet out of their shoes and socks and go outside to play.
For extra Grounding, use the power of intention by visualizing roots out from the bottom of your feet spreading to the deep center of the earth. Visualize any buildup of heavy energy leaving your body down the roots so Mother Earth can turn this energy into fertilizer. Ask Mother Earth to bring up the golden energy that helps you resonate at this moment.
It’s a beautiful experience as you breathe in this refreshing new energy.
Surround yourself with encouraging people
Falling in love with yourself as you move towards your manifestations is essential. A great way to connect with this love is to surround yourself with supportive, happy friends. Look around you, are you drawn to people who exude confidence that create goodness for themselves and others around them? Ask your trusted friends what they appreciate about you. Send your friends a little love note or text about what you appreciate about them. This is one of the best ways to create appreciation and amplify your manifesting energy.
Any time I am manifesting a new goal, I consider it to be like a baby. I will only share these with encouraging people who can see the full potential of this goal.
Emotional Success = Manifesting
Personal success with manifesting has its foundations in emotional success. Whatever external goals we want to reach, we aim for them because they will make us feel good. Simply put, by suppressing our feelings, we give our power away. But if we take charge of our feelings, we can manifest what we want.
Your ability to attend to your feelings and emotional triggers will make a massive difference in manifesting a rich life.
