The Secret to Manifestation

​There are multiple steps, and many methods, to manifestation; but the special key item that is critical to manifesting ANYTHING - whether intentionally or sub-consciously - is this.  Gratitude.  

Gratitude is appreciating that which you already have.  And by bringing your awareness to the present and to the beauty in your life, you are focusing on abundance and that focus is what will attract more of that goodness.  

I want to talk about this secret ingredient in the context of your home or whatever spatial environment you are working in.  Let's start with an exercise.  Breathe deep, ground to the earth in your minds eye, and then look around you.  Really see, smell, and listen to all the detail.  Notice the colors, the smells, the mess and the order.  As you notice, are you judging with a critical attitude all that which you want to change or dislike?  Are you loving what you see, and maybe it is the first time you have really looked at the beauty in a while?  Breathe in the space and now move your focus inwardly to recognize how you feel in the space.  Do you feel good?  Do you feel anxiety?  Try not to judge the feeling, just recognize.  Once you have really gorged yourself on all the feelings and energy of the space, breathe deep again and come back to yourself.  

Now, what the hell do you do with this?  If you had negative or challenging thoughts and emotions about the space, then I urge you to first and foremost search deeply and authentically for as many things in the space that you are grateful for.  Be grateful for the size of your room, or the opportunity to create it in your own vision, or be grateful for the amazing view, etc..  You will never have the space you want it to be until you first find that which you love about it.  Write those things down that you are thankful for and then practice on saying those gratitudes as the very first thing you do every single time you come into that space.  

If you had a lot of love and appreciation for the space, then continue to feed that energy stream and give thanks and hold space for those feelings every time you are within this space.  

Only after you find gratitude and repeatedly practice this gratitude that you should start to plan and design your space.  If you don't find gratitude before you design a space, there will be difficulty having that gratitude either during or after you design it as well.
