Manifestation: Part One
This is the first post in our three-part series on manifestation:
Part Two - Manifesting Our Move to Santa Barbara
Part Three - So What Is Manifestation, Really?
Manifestation Is More Than Imagination
The Law of Attraction is misunderstood. People believe they can just focus their attention on something they want, such as a red Corvette, and it will magically show up in the driveway.
The reality is that we work together with the Universal Life Force to initiate the Law of Attraction. The formula is simple, although not necessarily easy:
Energetic Intention + Physical Action + Leap of Faith = Manifestation
The trick is to embrace the results, even when they don’t match our expectations.
When our daughter started planting seeds to finish high school abroad, she actually wanted to study in Spain or Costa Rica. However, it was too late into the spring to start the process for this fall, would have been too costly, and was too much of a risk with the virus in those early days of the pandemic. Her only option was Sweden since she had ties to this country.
Her energetic intention was to study abroad. One reason people fail in their manifestations is that they are not clear in what it is they want to create. Once she defined her goal, she didn’t just wish for it to happen or keep saying in her head, “I want to study abroad; I will study abroad," hoping it would somehow become a reality.
She followed up on her intention with lots of steps through the application process. Also, we originally thought she could stay with a family, but when that didn’t pan out, we rented an apartment in Stockholm—even though it wasn’t 100% certain she could actually attend a Swedish school. Taking a leap of faith is usually required as part of the manifestation process.
Once we arrived in Sweden, we spent days going back and forth to the Police Station to renew her passport and to the immigration office to apply for a change in her citizenship status. It was exhausting despite the unbelievable efficiency of the Swedish government. As I write this, we’re still waiting for official word that her application has been approved.
We’re not anguishing over the uncertainty, however. Instead, we’re doing what is in our control and spending the rest of our time reconnecting with our family and friends here. If something doesn’t work out, we’ll deal with it then.
My point of this post is simply to encourage us to trust the Universe to support our desires. It’s too stressful trying to micromanage and control every little detail and have things perfectly lined up before we leap. We’ll never truly know if we are making the “right” decision. We just have to take steps in the direction we think is best and recalibrate as we go along.
Do you want to start a business? Change a family dynamic? Go back to school? Release your kid from the expectations of going to college so he can follow his current passion? Live more minimally? Learn to cook, paint, write, sing?
Set your Energetic Intention, start taking steps in the general direction, leap when necessary. Then let the Law of Attraction do its thing. This is the magic of manifestation.

This experience was literally one of the most stressful of my life! And that is saying a LOT given I’d already overcome years of infertility trying to get these amazing kids, survived cancer while completing grad school, and moved internationally three times in two years.
