How to Take Your Manifestations to the Next Level

To celebrate the launch of my new book The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money, I thought it would be a nice idea to touch upon one of the key laws. This will offer you a taste of what you can expect from the book, and give you some practical tools you can begin to put to use today!


Manifestation Begins with Desire


Manifestation Begins with Desire is the first law I discuss. There are so many ways you can begin or develop your own manifestation journey, but being bold enough to dream the real,
authentic dream is your best starting point.


It’s also where you get to let go and have fun!


Have you ever really desired something in your heart, but then found all kinds of reasons why that couldn’t be true for you? Do you edit your visions to accommodate societal norms, and expectations from friends, family, bosses, and co-workers? 


Do you let your own limited beliefs sabotage your dream?


Do you let that logical left brain of yours get in the way?


It’s something that many of us do but we simply have to be bold enough to claim the vision that is truly authentic to what we really desire. 

 

You then need to hold that vision of what you desire and one of the best ways to do this is through visualization. 


What is Visualization?


Visualization is the ability to piece together in your mind pictures of your intentions. This is about building a clear image of what you want to create in your life. If you desire a new dream job, your visualization could include you sitting in your new office and taking yourself through your work day imagining all the tasks you do in that dream job, imagining what your co-workers are like.


Think of this like creating a movie in your mind that perfectly captures your desire! 


We mustn’t underestimate the power of visualization. You tune into a new, altered frequency in your brain with these thoughts. In fact, research has shown that brain frequency is the starting point for manifesting your reality!


Look at what you really desire in your heart. Let your heart guide you. Don’t overthink it or talk yourself out of it. Don’t negotiate yourself away from your dream life. 


Avoid thinking in terms of what can and cannot be done or allow your ego to put limits on yourself. I want to empower you to understand that your potential is limitless if you really commit to the process!


Your Financial Desires


When it comes to amping up your visualization for the wealth you want to create and allowing your financial desires to become crystal clear, what do you want to manifest financially? 


To help with this, you can ask yourself some questions to form a strong picture of what you want to create.


As I mention in the book, think of this like a brainstorming session to vocalize your ideas. You can either do this in the mental visualization process itself or put pen to paper.


This is about whatever helps
you tune in.


Here are some ideas to get you started:


If you have debt, what do you think about it and your financial past?


If you are in debt, are you tired of it? 


Would you really like to find a way to eliminate debt, without feeling like you’re shackled to strict limitations or budgets?


How would it make you feel to not have any debt?


Do you desire a refreshed relationship with money? If so, what does that new relationship look and feel like? How does money make you feel?


When you buy your go-to products and services, what primary emotion or set of emotions do you feel at the exact moment? 


What specific words/phrases are you using as self-talk in your head? What story are you telling yourself? 


Our
relationship with money is incredibly intertwined with all the other key pillars of our life and so brainstorming questions surrounding these areas can also be a fantastic way to build upon that clear, colorful picture!


If you had more unstructured time, what would you be doing? (Not what you feel you ’should’ be doing!)


What is your dream vacation? Why haven’t you taken it yet? Would you like to change that?


What things are you drawn to watch on YouTube that lift you into expansion and possibility?

What people in your life fuel what you want to create?


Is there a part of your life where you’d like to come from a place of more empowerment?

Are you looking for a new relationship?

If you are already in one, how do you feel when you are together? Is it your ideal partnership?


These questions can also spur ideas for your own ones so feel free to really dig deep here and spend some quality time on this part of the process.


Hold Your Vision


It’s incredibly important once you have that strong picture in your mind to stay focused on your unedited and authentic vision. 


The one that makes you excited and spurs the giggle that you haven’t experienced in what might feel like a lifetime!


You now need to focus on what you want to create instead of the problems of getting there or the ones you already have. The Law of Attraction states that you attract to you what you focus your energy and vibration on. 


Your visualization enables you to raise your vibration so that you’re matching the frequency that ignites the entire manifestation process, and that’s why this part of the process is so crucial.


You get to decide where you want to go, and Source decides the method to get you there. 


This is where you have to let go and trust. Commit to detaching from what you have always known as the one and only way to do things or achieve complex tasks or goals. 


Release Your Old Beliefs 


To spur the manifestation process into action, you must be prepared to release some of what you have been taught. No matter how far removed your true desire is from your current reality, you have to let go of ‘how’ it will manifest and believe and trust that all will align and show up. 


Instead, focus on what you
can control and trust that the opportunities will come! I assure you, they will once you commit!


The next step of course is in the action, which I walk you through in
The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money.


For today though, let’s stay focused on the dream and the visualization piece. The more time you spend dropping into that and fine-tuning what you want to create using those brainstorming questions, the more you are communicating that with the universe and Source.


As I say in Chapter 1 of The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money, this process is about allowing yourself to take quantum leaps in your life so you can avoid life crises situations that eventually appear and are your soul’s push for you to align with your heart.


You are truly limitless and regardless of what you’ve learned since childhood or what society has taught you, YOU are the creator of your life and you deserve to boldly claim what’s yours!


Today, my friend marks the start of your journey!

In my book, " The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , " I explain that wealth isn’t just about managing money—it's about aligning with the deeper, spiritual principles that guide our financial lives. These four laws offer a powerful framework to create lasting abundance, but they aren’t a one-time fix. Instead, they are tools to be revisited and reapplied throughout your journey. Reapplying the 4 Spiritual Laws of Money for Continuous Growth We all know the feeling—just when you think you've got your finances in order, something shifts, and it feels like you're back at square one. Maybe an unexpected expense pops up, or perhaps your goals change as your life evolves. Whatever the reason, financial growth is not a “set it and forget it” journey. It requires ongoing effort, reflection, and adjustment. This is where the 4 Spiritual Laws of Money come in. These laws aren’t just one-time lessons; they are a powerful framework that you can revisit and reapply whenever life (or your bank account) needs a tune-up. Let’s dive into how each law can be reworked into your daily life, helping you to stay on the path of financial abundance. 1. Manifestation Begins with Desire You’ve likely heard it before— knowing what you truly want is the first step to creating it. But here’s the thing: what you want today might be different from what you desired a few years ago. Life changes, and so do your dreams. Take a moment to check in with yourself. What do you really desire now? Is it financial freedom, a vacation home, or maybe the ability to give back to your community in a bigger way? Whatever it is, don’t be afraid to dream big. Let your desires guide you as they evolve. Reaffirming your desires regularly ensures that you're always manifesting what aligns with the current version of you. 2. The Heart Is Stronger Than the Brain When it comes to money, we’re often told to “be logical” or “stick to the numbers.” But one of the most beautiful spiritual laws of money reminds us that the heart is stronger than the brain . In other words, decisions made from a place of love, passion, and authenticity are far more powerful than those made from fear or strict logic. Ask yourself: Are your current financial choices aligned with your heart? Does how you’re making and spending money feel good on a soul level? When you revisit this law, you might realize it's time to adjust your financial strategy to better match your heart’s desires. This could mean choosing a career path that fulfills you or focusing on spending in ways that bring you joy, not just security. 3. Intention Redirects Energy The power of intention is real. When you set a focused intention, you shift the energy of your life in that direction. But the key word here is focused. As life moves forward, it’s easy to let distractions pull your energy in too many directions. That’s why it’s crucial to regularly revisit your intentions. Are they still aligned with where you want to go? Take time to refocus. This might mean creating new financial goals or reaffirming old ones. By re-centering your intentions, you’re not only redirecting your energy—you’re also inviting the universe to step in and help you make those goals a reality. 4. The Universe Responds to Action We’ve all been there: thinking, dreaming, planning—but not doing. This is where the fourth spiritual law comes in as a loving nudge. The universe can only respond when you take action. What steps have you taken lately toward your financial goals? Even small actions—like setting up an automatic savings plan or looking into a new investment—send powerful signals to the universe that you’re serious about manifesting abundance. And the universe will respond! The more action you take, the more opportunities seem to “magically” appear. Remember, action doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Start small, but be consistent. Every step you take builds momentum toward your goals. Why Reapplying the Laws Matters Life is full of changes. Your financial situation, goals, and even your mindset will evolve over time. That’s why it’s essential to revisit and reapply the 4 Spiritual Laws of Money regularly. They’re not static rules but a dynamic, flexible framework that grows with you. Think of these laws like a compass for your financial journey. Whenever you feel off track, return to them. When you’re uncertain about your next move, let them guide you. The more you use them, the more they’ll become a natural part of how you think and act around money. Embrace the Journey Remember, financial growth is a journey, not a destination. There will be twists, turns, and perhaps a few bumps along the way, but with the 4 Spiritual Laws of Money, you’re never lost. These principles are here to help you continuously grow, adapt, and realign with your true financial path—one that leads not just to wealth, but to joy, freedom, and fulfillment. So, the next time you feel a shift in your financial landscape, don’t panic. Instead, revisit these laws, reapply them, and watch how they continue to guide you toward your next level of abundance. Now, what’s your next step? If you found these insights helpful, you’ll love " The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , " where these principles are explored in depth. It’s now available as an audiobook, making it easier than ever to absorb these powerful lessons on the go. Whether you're commuting, exercising, or relaxing, you can take the wisdom of these spiritual laws with you wherever you are. Start your journey to financial and spiritual abundance today!

As someone who has guided countless clients toward true wealth, I know how crucial it is to build financial stability, especially in times like these. And that’s where my approach, outlined in my first book, "The Emotion Behind Money" , comes into play. In my work, I emphasize that wealth isn’t just about numbers—it's about what's happening inside you as much as what's happening around you. The Emotion Behind Money is all about building wealth from the inside out, which means bringing your authentic self to the forefront of your financial decisions. When your money is aligned with who you truly are, you create a foundation that can withstand even the most uncertain times. Feeling anxious about the future—whether it’s due to financial, economic, or inflation-related concerns—is a common experience. But often, that anxiety signals that your money isn’t set up in alignment with your authentic self. When this alignment is off, it’s easy to feel ungrounded and uncertain. I’ve seen this time and again in my work as a financial planner, and I’m here to help you shift from anxiety to assurance by realigning your financial life with who you really are. Let’s face it: the economic landscape is challenging right now. Inflation is driving up costs on essentials like gas, food, and education. Interest rates are climbing, and while wage growth might seem positive, it can have long-term consequences for the economy. It’s easy to get caught up in these concerns, but I believe there’s a better way to approach them. The Outside vs. The Inside When we think about wealth, we often focus on external factors: the stock market, interest rates, inflation, job security, and so on. These things are important, but they’re only part of the picture. What’s going on inside you—your beliefs, values, and emotions —plays an equally crucial role in your financial stability. If you’re feeling anxious about the future, it might be a sign that your finances aren’t fully aligned with your true self . When you’re not grounded in your financial decisions, it’s easy to feel out of control and overwhelmed by external events. But when your money is set up in a way that reflects who you are and what you value, you’ll find that you can navigate uncertainty with much more confidence and peace of mind. Creating Financial Space One of the most important steps you can take to create financial stability is to build financial space. This means having enough room in your budget to handle unexpected expenses, economic downturns, or other financial challenges without feeling panicked. Start by taking a close look at your current financial situation. Are there areas where you could reduce your debt? Are there expenses you could eliminate or cut back on? By making these adjustments, you can free up cash flow that can be redirected into savings or investments, creating a buffer that will protect you in times of uncertainty. I’ve created a Cashflow Worksheet to help you get started on this journey. You can download it here . Another crucial aspect of creating financial space is to avoid taking on unnecessary debt. For example, many people take out loans from their 401K accounts, thinking it’s a quick fix. But in the long run, this can lead to more financial stress. Instead, focus on building up your savings so that you have the cash on hand to cover unexpected expenses without resorting to credit cards or loans. Empower Your Choices A big part of building financial stability is recognizing that you have a choice in how you manage your money. It’s easy to feel like a victim of the system, especially when you’re facing financial pressure. But when you realize that you have the power to make decisions that align with your values and goals, you take control of your financial future. For example, instead of feeling like you "have to" use credit cards to cover expenses, reframe it as a choice. If you truly need to use credit, do so with intention and a plan to pay it off quickly. But if it’s possible to avoid it, choose to do so. This simple shift in mindset can make a huge difference in how you feel about your financial situation. Insulate Yourself from Economic Uncertainty We can’t control what’s happening in the global economy, but we can take steps to insulate ourselves from its effects. This starts with being proactive about your finances. By setting up your money in a way that aligns with your true self, you create a foundation that can weather any storm. Whether it’s building up your savings, reducing your debt, or making thoughtful financial choices, every step you take toward financial stability helps to create a sense of security. And that security isn’t just about having more money in the bank—it’s about knowing that you’re in control of your financial future, no matter what happens in the world around you.
