Hello Visionary, yes that’s you,
If you are trying too hard to manifest something in your life, it means that you are scared it won’t happen.
Take this as meaningful information that you can transform your life with by healing the underlying pattern of insecurity.
Today’s video, audio, and transcript will go into how I learned to flip this script so that you can too.
Welcome to your eleventh Money Mastery advent calendar door 🚪.
Today, I tried bibliomancy, which is essentially picking up a book and turning to any page to see what message speaks to you. While waiting to get my prescription at the pharmacy, I found a book that suggested an interesting exercise: flip to any page and discover what you most need to know at this moment. Synchronistically, a friend had talked to me about this earlier in the morning. Just as I read that paragraph, the pharmacist called my name, and I collected my prescription.
I went to the park and sat down, then opened the book to a random page. What I discovered was a visualization exercise focused on experiencing the qualities you most desire in life. The book encouraged adding color, texture, and even sounds to the visualization — something I hadn't considered before, though it has happened spontaneously during meditations. Imagine adding the sounds of the ocean or emotive music to your mental landscape.
The practice became about closing your eyes, getting centered, opening your heart, and inviting in a somatosensory experience of the quality of experience you desire. Growing up on the North Shore in Hawaii, the ocean feels like home. It's a happy smell. I focused on the smell of the ocean air, what the Portuguese call "maresia."
I began with a word representing my desired experience, then explored its associations — not more more verbiage but emotional and experiential connections. The visualization was a relaxed experience of pleasant feelings and experiences that were truly inspiring.
After trying this exercise, I realized that I had been unconsciously focused on my fears rather than maintaining a positive expectancy about what I'm looking forward to. I shared this revelation with my mentor, who encouraged me to entice my subconscious by offering positive benefits of helping me manifest my desires.
This day of learning moved me from intellectual understanding to a visceral, deeply felt comprehension. It's about gradually shifting your focus away from what you don't want to experience, without forcing or bashing yourself over the head with affirmations. Instead, it's about being kind to yourself, creating a positive internal dialogue, and convincing your subconscious that your desired experience is going to be awesome.
The beauty of manifestation, I've discovered, is in its synchronistic nature. People and resources can connect and come to you in the most unexpected ways. I found my creative mentor — a retired jazz musician - completely by chance. Often, when I'm ready for a certain life experience, people seem to manifest around me. I once picked up a book in a bookstore, and unexpectedly, the author became a mentor in my life.
My invitation to you is to be playful with manifestation. Allow the beautiful, surprising synchronicities of the universe to excite you and make you feel that manifestation is something truly magical. This excitement will provide the momentum and inspiration to continue onwards.* I hope this has inspired you to approach manifestation as a joyful, participatory experience of life. Infinite, endless blessings to you. Aloha.
Recap from previous email:
Shift from Scarcity to Flow
When you train yourself to become conscious of the old patterns when they repeat themselves and respond to them with loving discernment and empowered intention, you redirect neural activity away from the fear-driven amygdala and toward the prefrontal cortex, which grants you freer access to creativity, clarity, and holistic thinking. This shift not only reduces stress and stress-causing patterns significantly but also positions you to recognize and seize wealth-generating opportunities you might have otherwise overlooked or not taken on.
How Your Subconscious Influences Reality
Your mind is a powerful system that determines how you experience and interact with the world. While much of your decision-making feels conscious, it's actually compelled by a deeper force: your subconscious mind. This hidden part of you is constantly influencing your perception, assumptions, preferences, choices, and therefore your reality, often without your awareness.
Rewire Your Survival Responses for Amazing Manifestation Results That Last
When we attempt to make changes in the subconscious, we’re often up against the survival mechanisms of our brain and nervous system — mechanisms that instinctively protect us from perceived threats, including psychological discomfort. This can mean hitting internal alarms that feel like self-doubt, resistance, or intense emotions as we try to reprogram deep-rooted beliefs. The first step to learning how to disarm the alarm is not by approaching this as a problem to combat but something to compassionately understand about ourselves and something that we have the power to work with effectively.
