Five Ways to Enhance Your Power of Manifestation

The power of manifestation is your ability to turn hidden potential and elusive visions into tangible realities. But how exactly can you unleash the manifestor in you? Understandably, this can sometimes be experienced as an enormous challenge.?

To begin with, manifestation should not be understood as mere self-expression. While the internet has enabled everyone to ceaselessly express themselves, we all know, deep down, that sharing food photos has nothing to do with the actualization of our deeper potential. Another common misconception has reduced manifestation to “self-fulfillment,” externally evaluated by numbers of followers and intricate hierarchical comparisons.?

In reality, the manifestor in you is so much more than that. It is the universe’s co-creator, a layer of your being that can participate in the process of creation by drawing from the field of infinite potential and thus giving shape to the future.

Here are five ways to constructively interact with your manifestor, here and now:

1. Always start with dreaming big, not with compromise. When you begin to develop a vision, dare to dream in the most unlimited and unbridled ways. Your premise must be that everything is possible. Remember that the manifestor is, before anything else, a dreamer. To manifest, you have to dream, activating the power of playful imagination. Of course, later, as the manifestation process progresses toward a visible and denser reality, some degree of compromise and narrowing down of your options will be inevitable. But don’t let your starting point be one of compromise and confinement, unconsciously feeling defeated before even getting started. Be aware of limiting self-beliefs lurking in the darkness of your mind, such as a sense of smallness, cynicism, doubts in your creative powers, and self-judgment, that inhibit your ability to dream big. Trust that a grand creator nestles inside you, and ask yourself, “What kind of universe do I wish to create?”
2. Replace “work” with “creation” “and “goals” with “dreams and visions.” Culturally, we have an extremely limited conception of creativity. Creativity does not lie in our artistic talents and skills. It is, above all, how we externalize all that is hidden inside us and create our life from moment to moment. Life itself is a creative process. Even the way in which we listen and react can be either creative or mechanical. Moreover, creativity is the manner in which we conceive of the range of future possibilities that are laid before us. Our lives become uncreative when we increasingly narrow down our future possibilities and when our very sense of the future becomes confined. Often, a significant part of this narrowness results from excessive focus on “self-fulfillment” instead of “creation,” “work” instead of “creativity,” and “goals” instead of “visions.” On the other hand, when we begin to think about our lives in terms of dreams, visions, and creation, we quickly regain our enthusiasm since this is the true language of our manifestor. One of the greatest tragedies of human life is the mechanical term “work.” Who wants to work? Work sounds like the opposite of life, in the sense that we work in order to live.
3. Follow your natural inclinations to find your true service to the world. There is no need to keep wondering what your unique manifestation should be. Life has a straightforward way to convey your true potential. Simply look into yourself and identify the natural skills, abilities, attractions, and inclinations that are ingrained inside your being. These natural tendencies and capacities are life’s hope for you. Life wants you to faithfully follow and cultivate these inclinations and to not leave any of them buried inside you as a secret, an unknown and unshared reality. In this sense, all of us are endowed with potential for the simple reason that we can all identify certain built-in skills, abilities, inclinations, and tendencies, and these are also the ways in which we are supposed to serve the world and life at large. Of course, be realistic: listen to your urges exactly as they are, steering clear of ideas about what they should or could be. The recognition that you seek lies in your ability to acknowledge what is true in you and what you authentically have to express. It has nothing to do with what you believe would receive the applause of the world or the selfish need to make your voice heard at all costs. You simply conduct and pour out that which is within you. Thus, after identifying all these inherent passions, thinking about how they can serve the greater good would be the next wise step.
4. Be aware of the gaps in your manifestation process. Difficulties and interruptions along the process of manifestation are common: certain vision-seeds germinate inside your being, but the way leading from the moment of their appearance to their actual blossoming may seem terribly long, even uncroassable. You may feel as if there is an abyss separating potential from fulfillment. This feeling can be so disheartening that many tend to give up somewhere along the way. First, be forgiving toward yourself. Just as not all sperm cells and eggs manage to transform into babies, so too do not all your dreams and visions get to visibly manifest. Nevertheless, since we all need, from time to time, the profoundly satisfying experience of following an idea all the way to the other side of a tangible form in the world, examine carefully if and where the process stops for you. Manifestation processes are complex, requiring different centers of your being to contribute their unique forms of intelligence. So, are these limiting self-beliefs? Is it an absence of fiery determination and ambition? Or is it impatience and an unrealistic evaluation of what slow and persistent material processes must entail, a lack of enjoyment or deep emotional engagement, or an unorderly and unsystematic way of thinking? Are there any voices dissuading you and interfering in your final expression?
5. Think about yourself as a leader; your manifestation sets an example for everyone around you. You may fear becoming a leader, feeling either too small and inept for it, or you may simply feel reluctant to lead. However, the manifestor in you is unavoidably a leader. To begin with, it is your own leader, guiding you toward the full actualization of your potential. Moreover, any manifestation process is a demonstration of leadership since it is your choice to co-create the universe and give shape to the future. Since creating implies guiding reality, a great challenge lies in your ability to take responsibility for your vision and the different ways in which it will shape not only your life but also the lives of others. Ask yourself in what ways your manifestation would add beauty and inspiration to this world. What kind of example would you like to set? Even if your embodiment seems to be just one example among billions, your choices of manifestation are going to affect many other lives, some of which you will never be aware of.?
