Seven years ago, I was living with my parents and was utterly depressed from the lack of privacy, the constant fights, and the anxiety of having been an adult for 3 years, and to still need to tell someone else where I was going, what I was doing and with whom.
I wanted to move to my own place with intensity.
Everyday I would journal about being alone and having time, space and freedom from my parents.
I’d try to apply LOA and feel into the feeling of what it would be like to move into a new place, but it would not manifest.
I would try every technique on Earth, still the manifestation wasn’t coming fast enough.
So one day, I was watching Byron Katie on Youtube and doing “The Work” in my journal, a technique she teaches, in order to make peace with and forgive my mom, when suddenly it dawned on me: I was desiring to move to a different place, but energetically I was still seeing myself living there, in the perimeter of our house together.
It was like I was seeing myself in that bubble, and the bubble hadn’t expanded itself enough to fit other neighborhoods, other places.
As soon as I visualized that, the apartment manifested itself. My dad asked me out of a sudden if I want to move to my own place, I said yes, we sold the house, and bought a few apartments with the money: including 1 for each me and my brother.
I can’t explain how I did it, other than that I expanded the place I was seeing myself to be living in the present moment, to a larger area in my mind. I could now easily see myself moving from that place to another, it was an easy route.
Of course, all that I did before this was also important: the visualizing, the scripting, but that point in time was basically when the bubble popped, and the momentum finally reached its peak and I was able to move.
Because manifestation is very much about momentum, too, visualizing, affirming, scripting, desiring, working for it, until finally – you see it come into your reality.
Manifestation is still sort of working for your goal, just in another way. You can’t sit on the couch, watch TV, and not shift your mindset/work on limiting beliefs, feel into the new reality and suddenly get a million dollars.
That might be possible for very few people, but for most people, if they want to advance, uplevel, they have to first leave a few things behind and bring the future into the present moment somehow, by feeling that they are already there.
Remember, feeling is the secret to manifesting. And that’s what I did, I felt myself in a new place, also feeling into the trajectory from my house to that new place, imagining leaving and getting there, imagining the road to it.
