Manifesting Part 5 of 5: The Art of Receiving

There are books written just about this topic, so I will do my best to keep this brief.

You're worth the thing you're trying to be, do or have.
​
Believing that is what will allow it to show up.
If there is something standing in your way to believing that you deserve that job, that woman, that house... something will come between you.
If you manifest it but don't truly believe you deserve it, you will lose it. Energy is attracted to similar energy. When energy gets out of alignment, the energy that showed up when you called it in will find its way out:
​
“He ghosted me”
“I got in a car accident the same week I got my brand new car”
“I won the lottery and had nothing left a year later”

There are endless examples of ways that people either never receive what they really want, or receive and then lose it quickly. We aren't trying to sabotage ourselves, usually, but that's what happens. When you start to manifest intentionally there will be a few points along the way that you will be able to easily sabotage what you're trying to create in your life. The only way to reliably attract the things you want to be, do, or have is to raise your vibration to meet that thing and keep it there.

How to raise your vibration to receive and KEEP what you manifested:

1. Know that you are a creator- you create your own reality. You're doing it now with your thoughts and actions. And now. And now.
2. Believe in yourself. You really can do this.
3. Understand that you are just as deserving as anyone else. My favorite question is “Why NOT me?”
4. Think how fun it will be to have that thing you want. “What's the best that could happen?”
5. Know that being, doing, or having that thing will increase your joy and have a ripple effect, making those around you happier as well. Remove any association of selfishness that you may have with receiving. If everyone were going after what they wanted we'd all be so much happier and fulfilled.

Get ready to receive by practicing receiving gracefully and with enthusiasm:

1. Ask for what you want to someone who is willing and able to give it to you. Thank them.
2. When someone compliments you, accept the compliment.
3. Give yourself something small that is similar to the thing you want to be, do, or have if possible. Enjoy that gift as much as if someone else got it for you.
4. When you have an opportunity to enter a contest that you would normally ignore (even small things like winning bagels for your office), go for it, knowing you're just as "lucky" as anyone else. 
5. Let someone else do something you'd normally not let them do because you'd feel guilty (the dishes, typing up notes from a meeting, etc). Practice feeling GRATITUDE and RELIEF instead of guilt.
6. Imagine yourself as royalty. How would a king or queen receive this thing you want to be, do, or have? Would they turn it down? No! They'd know they deserved it and accept it gracefully.
