PROOF THAT MANIFESTING IS REAL - AND IT WORKS!
“Every intention sets energy into motion, whether you are conscious of it or not”
‘Is Manifesting Real?’ This was the title of a podcast I was listening to recently. It intrigued me because in my mind it is absolutely real - and I have proof!
There are a plethora of books, podcasts, blogs and articles on the topic and a quick Google search for the answer to the question returns an astounding 802,000,000 results (I don’t even know how you say that number - is it 802 million or 802 billion??). It is a hot topic right now and with so many manifesting success stories out there, could it be that even the most hardened skeptics are getting just a little curious?

Manifesting is not simply about thinking of what you want and then - poof! - it will magically appear. It is a holistic practice, not just a belief system, meaning it is a combination of what the head thinks and the heart feels and, whether we realise it or not, we are all manifesting, all the time.
Now, you may be thinking, ‘well if I’m manifesting all the time then where’s my yacht or my lottery win?’. I’m sorry to disappoint you but unless you are taking all the necessary steps, it ain’t gonna happen! There are a lot of factors that need to come in to play in order to manifest the good stuff (I wrote about one key element - letting go - in a previous post on the subject) but at the core of it is the frequency at which you are vibrating. You’ve probably heard of the phrase ‘like attracts like’. Everything is energy and, much like tuning a radio (old school, I know!), you will only be able to attract that which is operating at the same frequency as the one you are giving out.
Maintaining a high vibration is essential for manifesting your desires but it’s not always possible - we are only human, after all! That’s not to say that you have necessarily attracted all the bad stuff you’ve experienced in your life but that sometimes it may just take the money, boyfriend, house, or whatever it is you’re dreaming of, a little longer to appear.

I’ve been an enthusiastic practitioner of manifesting for some time now and when things aren’t happening, instead of manic-festing (ie, trying too hard and coming from a place of desperation and lack) I have learnt to tune into my emotions, work out what I’m feeling and try to raise my energetic vibration up the scale little by little. The other weekend, however, I was in such a high vibe state of gratitude and joy at the Mind Body Spirit Festival that I manifested something that I had set the intention for a few weeks prior to the show.
Emma Mumford is the UK’s leading Law of Attraction expert, known in spiritual circles as a Manifesting Queen. She has written several books and hosts a podcast centred around all things Law of Attraction which I only discovered a few months ago but have been binge-listening to regularly. When I noticed that she was going to be speaking at the Mind Body Spirit Festival on the Saturday afternoon I made it a goal to meet her and introduce her to my work.
“I’m slightly embarrassed that I, a grown woman in my mid-forties, had a major fan-girl moment,”
During my meditations I began visualising being at the show and chatting to her, I also started a new practice, scripting, which is where you write down everything you want to happen as if it already has. Crucially, in the run up to opening, I let it go. In fact, I forgot about it completely until about 12.15pm on the Saturday afternoon. During a lull in visitors to my stand I suddenly remembered my desire and began to wonder if it would happen. Literally at that moment as I was thinking about it I spotted Emma walking right towards me! I was so shocked at the synchronicity I just blurted out, “Emma!!” With a smile she came over and listened patiently as I rambled like a crazy woman about how I had manifested this meeting. She graciously posed for a photo with me, took a card and went on her way.
I’m slightly embarrassed that I, a grown woman in my mid-forties, had a major fan-girl moment but I was so stunned at how it happened. You may scoff and say that it was a coincidence, or that I knew she would be there so it was bound to happen but had I been talking to customers or looking down at my phone, in the loo or anything other than looking in that direction at that exact moment, I would’ve missed her. The timing was so perfect it had to be divinely orchestrated!
She didn’t buy anything as I had scripted (yet!) but that is not the end of the story because just five days later, Emma had a hand in my second manifestation. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this post where I’ll reveal what else I manifested in the same week and how you can learn to connect to your emotions so you too can successfully manifest from the heart and the head!
