My Tummy Tuck Journey: A Goodbye Letter to My Beautiful Wrinkly Stomach

Feeling very nervous to share this.

You can listed to the podcast version of this article here.

Next week I’m going to have a tummy tuck. I feel that Part 1 of this journey is to say my goodbyes. As I write this letter, it does (in a way) feel completely vacuous. A few days ago my dearest friends lost their entire business in a massive fire here in Las Vegas. Also, my mother’s best friend died suddenly in a freak horse riding accident leaving behind her twelve year old daughter.

At the time I decided to write this goodbye letter to my tummy it was before the sudden emotional impact of loss. Sometimes life shows up with this kind of stark contrast to remind us that life is worth pursuing what is on the other side of fear.

My decision to have a tummy tuck is an empowered choice to impact my overall health. I’ve suffered from lower back pain and strain for so many years. So here goes…

Dear Beautiful Wrinkly Stomach,

You’ve housed 10 heartbeats, maybe 11, and only four made it to this world. You were a wonderful home for my babies, and for that I thank you. I am so grateful for our growth together over the last couple of decades from 200 pounds to 130 pounds and everything in between.

I was just 21 years old when you first made an impression on me.  The doctor described you as a deflated balloon – or a crumpled paper bag.  I knew you were different from other stomachs that bounced back after pregnancy. As those ab muscles separated due to diastasis recti, so did my connection with my body and ultimately my confidence. In truth, the disconnect was part of a much larger picture of never feeling like I was enough.

For the longest time I have felt deformed and I’ve felt ugly. So I’ve been hiding you for nearly 18 years. Long black camisole singlets kept you hidden, so did Spanxs. High-waisted pants and Bridget Jones style underpants have often saved the day. I have spent countless hours trying to figure out the best ways to dress you, flatten you, flatter you, and hide you.

I have also been very aware that spending so many moments worrying about this kind of thing is super silly because there are people out there in the world that are really suffering. As in real loss, shock, hardship, and pain. However, I am parting ways with you so I can step up at a higher level. To be clear, even if you stayed I could still do the same thing because I fully accept you, but my core needs strengthening.

Still can't believe I'm sharing these photos to so many people! Eek!

It seems annoying to still harp on about this old story, but I was verbally abused about you by my first husband. He told me that no one could ever love me if I left him because of my stomach. Then I had to sheepishly explain you to my second husband. It was almost as if I was disclosing that a murder had happened in a house for sale. In truth, the emotional foundations were a lot more shaky than the physical structure of the building itself. In a normal, healthy and loving way Sean loves you no matter what. He once described you as “Google Ads” on a website. You know they are there, but you don’t tune in on them and let them distract you from the main content (sorry Google).

Tummy, you and I have been so fortunate to find a man that sees the soul of a situation and not the shallow version of reality.

Over the last few years I have really done so much inner work to love you. In truth you’re way worse in my head than you actually are on my 5 footish frame. I even posted about you on Instagram to show other women how to love their tummies too. If you read my book (Dear Universe) I talk a little bit about our journey together and how I would love to wear a bikini on a beach someday with or without you.

As the mother of three daughters and a Thomas it’s imperative to get to a space of self acceptance, because I never want my children to believe that are unworthy or not enough. Tummy, your powerful influence in my life has been a constant reminder of this.

But here’s the thing…I love you, but my back hurts. I love you but when I exercise I feel like I don’t play full out because of you. It’s time for you to leave me.

I’ve thought about this for a while and there’s an empowered solution – kind of like conscious uncoupling.

My painful path with eating disorders didn’t fix you, exercise, affirmations, a device called an “AbTronic” didn’t help, wraps, and other potions did diddly squat – but my mind made peace with you and I can see you for what you are.

You are my invitation to be my best self and try on a different version of who I can be in this body as a spiritual being.

I am making this decision from a space of empowered choice.

So goodbye beautiful wrinkly stomach. I love you. I see you. I’m ready for the next chapter of my body to carry me into my 40s, instead of me carrying others.

All My Love, Sarah Prout

——

If this letter triggers you in any way please know this was not my intention. This is my choice. You don’t have to take it personally, but that’s your choice too. If you’d like to send the vibes of love and healing energy my way for a successful operation that would be greatly appreciated. Big love, Sarah xo

ps. I’ll be posting Part 2 of my Tummy Tuck journey very soon.

Have you ordered your copy of Dear Universe yet? You're going to LOVE it. Order from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target and all good bookstores.

How Are You Showing Up for Your Dreams Today?

I want you to bookmark this article, maybe share it with loved one if it resonates within your heart.

Being An Empath In A Thrift Store and A Reminder Of The Path to Prosperity

My thirteen year old daughter asked me if I would go “thrifting” with her. She wanted to find unique clothes to up-cycle, so we headed to local Goodwill retail store here in Las Vegas.

To her, it’s a novelty to buy second-hand clothes. For me, it was a major part of my childhood to find a good bargain in an “op shop”.  And when I was a single mother ten years ago, it was how I rebuilt my life to furnish our little apartment. My stuff was either low cost or junk I found on the side of the road. I felt like the wealthiest person in the world to have a house that I furnished all by myself.

The memories of my old mindset started to flash back to me as I wandered the rows of used cutlery, plates, vases, and Christmas decorations. I could sense the energy of the other people doing their scouting – looking for a bargain that would save the day. The thrift store is definitely a path to prosperity when you need to save money.

My daughter was clutching a Yoshi t-shirt from the 1980s in one aisle, while I stood to take a moment to remember my journey to get to where I am today. Then “Everybody Hurts” by REM started playing and I had to choke back a flood of tears.

An empath in a thrift store is sometimes a confronting combination.

I was thinking about the section labelled “special occasion dresses for $12.99 and how they might have represented happy times for someone. All of the joy and sadness and everything in between has been experienced in these items of used clothing.

1980s Gold Lame would be an amazing find!

I have always believed in the saying:

“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

However, when you are energetically sensitive it takes some practice to not get influenced by the energy of pre-loved items and clothing. You have to learn to discern between what is your own energy, and what is the residual vibe-funk of someone else.

There’s always a part of my heart that loves a good find. In the recent trip to the Goodwill store I shook random snow globes, found a Disney Princess camera (that required a film – remember that? ) and a pink Prada bag that was definitely a knock off.

There’s so much beauty in a thrift store. It literally is a saving grace for people that don’t have the resources to buy all of the things that they need to buy, brand new. In truth, America is radically different than Australia when it comes to the costs and demands of daily life. However, the flashbacks of meaning I had in a superstore filled with used items reminded me of the beauty of the journey.

When Olivia and I were ready to pay for her items, the man behind the check out asked me if I was signed up to their newsletter. I said no. He told me that I would save $5.00 if I did. I said no again.

Then he said it would take less than 20 seconds. I said yes. I say yes because in the time that it took me to say no I realized how I had such a lack of consciousness around saving five dollars.

Five dollars for me ten years ago was something I prayed for.

Five dollars for me ten years ago was the difference between my children eating or going hungry for the day.

And there I was, saying no to that opportunity to save five dollars. I caught myself in a moment of being a total asshat. I'm happy was able to remind myself not to be such an entitled biz-natch. I don’t want to be that person that takes those moments and those kind offerings from granted. I want to feel grateful for what I have.

Remember: The Universe is always sending you gifts, but do you receive them graciously or begrudgingly? It's a very important distinction.

I own a 7 figure business, but that’s not an excuse to forget the range of different mindsets and perspectives when it comes to the consciousness around money. In fact, it’s having an anti-abundance mindset not to honor the journey of others.

So here I am confessing in a blog post article that I had a moment of forgetting and that there is always a beautiful opportunity to remember the truth. The truth that beyond judgement, beyond incomes, struggles, triumphs and different phases of life that we all have a journey to travel to find out our own path to prosperity.

10 Creative Ways to Raise Your Vibration

The Law of Attraction works in a way that means that the level of your personal energy or vibration manifests itself as your reality. Your thoughts, feelings and your actions all contribute to the world around you.

Therefore, if you want to attract amazing levels of abundance into your life, you must tune into a higher vibration.

Here are the top ten ways to raise your vibration now. If you apply these techniques into your daily life it is guaranteed that you will experience a beautiful transformation in your mindset and the results you begin to see manifest. You are now well on your way to experiencing health, wealth and happiness. In fact, you can create anything that your heart desires!

Remember that you are the co-creator of your world, just you and The Universe so here are 10 Creative Ways to Raise Your Vibration

1. Gratitude

It is literally impossible to be in a bad mood when you are being grateful for what is presently in your life. Spend two minutes writing down things that you are grateful for right now and you will feel uplifted instantly. If you can’t think of anything, write down your top 5 memories of experiences that have brought you joy at various points in your life.

2. Take a power nap

If you feel tired set aside a small amount of time for a nap. People devoted to mastering high performance take time to rest. Not only will you feel more refreshed, but also you would have surrendered enough to let go of your frustrations. You will feel uplifted and vibrant in no time!

3. Hydrate

Drinking plenty of water throughout your day raises your vibration. It helps to eliminate toxins from your system and also hydrates your body so it feels energized and less prone to lethargy. You will feel clearer when you wake up each morning as your energy builds momentum.

4. Go outside and look at the sky

This can help during a busy day to connect to the bigger picture. Sometimes you need to feel space around you in order to feel free. Look at the clouds or the stars and appreciate the beauty they have to share with you.

5. Spring Cleaning/Decluttering

It’s time to clear the clutter out of your life. Empty out all of your drawers and cupboards. Sort through all of your belongings and decide what you are going to either sell or give to charity. By getting rid of the old you are making way for new and exciting things in your life.

6. Move Your Body

The body releases happy hormones when you exercise. It is a fabulous way to feel good about yourself, and when you feel good about yourself it clears the path to attract more good into your life.

7. Express Your Love

Tell all of your friends and family that you love them (when you happen to see them). Expressing your positive feelings boosts your vibration at an incredibly accelerated pace.

8. Meditate

There are so many ways that a person may choose to meditate. One of the most effective methods of meditation is to just surrender as if you are going to sleep. This is where you tap into Alpha (level of brain frequency) and your vibration is in alignment with the flow of the Universe. Remember: it is a very personal experience between You And The Universe so cherish the revelations and inspired thoughts that you receive during your quiet reflective times.

9. Creative Visualization

This is really fun. Just pretend that you are a multi- millionaire or a movie star or a rocket scientist. Test drive that silver Porsche or inspect that mansion on the hill. The point is that if you pretend (or tune into the vibration of the reality you want to create for yourself) the Universe sees your intent. It can feel how GREAT you feel about living the life of your dreams, so therefore it will present you with the appropriate opportunities to follow and eventually manifest your request.

10. Write + Journal

The Law of Attraction is all about the connection between your thoughts and your feelings. If you are feeling great vibrationally then it is a winning plan to give you what your heart desires. When your thoughts and feelings are penned to paper they are prone to manifesting at an accelerated pace. Write it down, feeling the energy rise and see what unfolds.

Discover The Secret “Law of Vibration” and How to Manifest Your Most Urgent Desires with This Simple Practice of Love and Joy.

Sarah Prout, co-creator of The Manifesting Academy, reveals how a proven 4-Step Process can raise your vibration to a level where you can manifest your deepest desires, hopes, and dreams in almost no time at all.

How 30 Million+ Video Views Created Powerful Impact and Beautiful Chaos

It’s been a little over a month now since my Goalcast video went viral. It’s had close to 35 MILLION views and hundreds of thousands of shares and comments.

The number one thing I didn’t anticipate is the sad reality that about one in five of the comments are from women who have lived through domestic violence, or are currently living it. My heart goes out to all of them – all of you. I've done my best to respond to as many comments as possible.

There are a few things I wanted to share about my experience of putting my story out there. Specifically, I want to talk about the danger of assumptions, the inner game work required to be willing to be so visible, and how the video impacted me emotionally.

If you haven’t see the video yet, it’s here.

I “ugly cried” in front of millions of people and it was a fabulous opportunity to get over myself.

If I can do that, I can do anything.

I had no idea of the emotional impact that using my voice and speaking up would have on me. Some of the trauma resurfaced, but I'm dealing with it.

I remember feeling super nervous the week before the video was released. I was bracing myself for negative comments about my appearance, about my tone of voice (maybe my accent), my message, my delivery. I’d primed myself not to take it personally. I did some serious inner game work and mental preparation. I kept my mind focussed on the bigger picture – which was the impact my story could have in the lives of others.

The lesson and where the impact resided was that my willingness to be vulnerable was the key to the video going viral. My story and the haunting memories of my first marriage, aren’t even about me. It’s a universal story that illustrates pain – pain that many people in toxic relationships can (sadly) relate to.

After scanning through several hundred of the comments I noticed a considerable volume of people expressing their opinions on what I “should” have done.

Assumptions are super dangerous and a powerful reminder of why it’s so important not to jump to conclusions.

It’s impossible to think that a tiny 6 minute video can accurately convey 10 years of emotional pain and distress. It was never designed to be a factual narrative with a linear timeline. It was designed as a piece to evoke emotion and inspirational resonance. Here's just a few of the types of comment and themes I was seeing:

“Why didn’t your parents help you? Shame on them.”

My parents did help me as much as they could. They lived in different states (they are divorced). I lived with my mother when I was just getting back on my feet – saving money to get my first place.

“You should post a photo of your alcoholic ex-husband as a warning for other women since he beat you every day for 10 years.”

He’s never been an alcoholic. Drunk on the night he ruined my stuff? Yes. Also, I was not beaten every day – and once is enough. There were at least 40 incidences in 10 years. And no, I won’t post a photo of my ex because that’s not fair. I have forgiven him (not forgotten) and he’s happily remarried and on his own path. I let him go with love and wish him well.

“You shouldn’t get married at 19. Problem solved.”

I was actaully 21 and four months pregnant with my son. The video didn’t mention that I was pregnant.

“10 years? Why do women stay that long? Why did she only leave after he ruined her stuff. I don't get it.”

It takes a woman (and some men) up to 8 times longer to leave a cycle of abuse. I tried to leave 8 times. I didn’t leave right away after all of the my stuff was ruined. I went back, twice. Then within 6 months I left for good and I NEVER looked back. You can only every leave when you are ready. For me it was a messy process – I write more about the actually catalyst in Dear Universe.

There have been so many different projections and assumptions of what I “should” have done.

I had a few people tell me that I need to build a bridge and get over it because I am clearly still emotionally hooked by the story.

Newsflash: It happened 10 years ago! I am okay now.

I’ve had numerous therapy sessions. I’ve spent thousands of dollars healing my heart. I’ve had countless conversations with God/The Universe about the purpose of the pain and of being in such a disempowering situation for 10 whole years. And you know what?

I SURVIVED.

And at first I was afraid, I was petrified.

Thank you, Gloria Gaynor.

I went through it so I could share my story of hope. I could share the message that time heals, life moves you forward and you will be okay.

I wouldn’t change anything – even if I could – because I turned my pain into power.

I spun that bullshit into gold.

Did the video equate to a gazillion book sales? Nope. Did it mean that our website crashed because of the increased volume of traffic because people were super eager to find out who I am? Nope. Did I give people hope?

Youbetcha.

I did it through a willingness to show up, tell an old story and create a legacy for my children. Especially for my two oldest children that lived through this experience as well.

The lesson here is that life shows up in direct proportion to your bravery. If you’re willing to be vulnerable, you could save someone’s life. If you’re willing to “ugly cry” in front of millions of people, then you can do anything.

Much love xo

If you want to discover HOW I left 10 years of domestic violence behind me and rebuilt my life from scratch, then you must get a copy of my latest book called Dear Universe. It’s a powerful transformative resource and I have shared so many personal stories of my life over the last 10 years to get me to where I am today. Get it for yourself – you won’t regret it.

How to Make A Vision Board That Actually Works

2019 UPDATE: I originally wrote this article back in 2017 so thought I would love to drop in an updated perspective. I really want to emphasize the importance of FEELINGS. Your feelings are always what constructs the fabric of your reality. When you are in the process of manifesting your dreams and goals then it's imperative to seek as much joy as possible. There is no better what to do this than to create a vision board with the feeling of joy in your heart.

Creating a vision board can be a thrilling activity for a person that loves to get messy with magazines, glue, scissors and big dreams. But did you know that there are other elements that need to be considered when you create a vision board that will determine if you indeed begin to manifest the things/people/places/experiences you desire?

Here are 7 Steps for Creating A Vision Board That Actually Works

1. Place it in your constant awareness

Put your board somewhere you will see it often so it can imprint itself into your subconscious mind.

2. Tune into the feeling of gratitude

When you take the time to look at your board, tune into the feeling of gratitude as if you have already manifested your desires. This will not only raise your vibration, but it will get the Universe to deliver your goodies a lot faster.

3. Remember the phrase: ‘This or something better’

It’s natural to feel the doubt and fear rise up within your heart, so just remember that everything unfolds as it should in perfect Divine timing. What the Universe delivers is always for the greater good of your ultimate soul expansion.

4. Don’t feel the need to explain yourself to others

If you happen to have a photo of Oprah glued on your vision board and someone questions you, feel free to ignore them and change the direction of the conversation. It’s no one else’s business what your goals, dreams, wishes and desires are. You are worthy enough to manifest whatever you want.

5. Take a photo of your vision board

An added method of making sure your subconscious mind is being imprinted and prepared to receive your desires is to take a photo of your vision board and use it as wallpaper on your phone or desktop. This provides an added way of ensuring that your awareness is activated in more ways than just one.

6. Trust in the Universe

Always use your vision board as an opportunity to believe beyond what you can see. The Universe loves you and is looking after your best interests. The Universe also trusts you implicitly, so will you return the favor?

7. Try a manifesting ritual

Choose from one of the themes on your board and try my Ancient Manifesting Ritual that is loved by thousands around the world. My secret 5×55 formula will help to raise your vibration and clear the blocks that get in the way from manifesting our desires.

8. (BONUS) Read Dear Universe

My latest book called Dear Universe has an entire section and story devoted to crafting the perfect vision board. It shares the story of how I manifested the flowers I really wanted for my wedding bouquet, despite being told it was impossible.

In order to manifest more abundance into your life you need to be ready to SPARK a deeper connection with the Universe. If you're ready to go on a spiritual adventure and quest then I would highly recommend my Ancient Manifesting Ritual. This will help to get out of your own way and help you to strengthen your intuition. xo

Calling It In: Dear Universe and How You Can Get Involved In The Movement

This is a somewhat of a weird post, but I know I have to follow this intuitive hunch and write to you…

On the 2nd of April, my book, Dear Universe: 200 Mini-Meditations for Instant Manifestations was released. We sold thousands of copies and were told we were in with a tiny shot of hope to hit the New York Times bestseller list. I was told not to hold my breath since Oprah released her book the same week, so I didn’t. The book has also been selling fantastically in the UK and Australia, which is great to see too.

I can see that Dear Universe is building some serious momentum in the world and I trust in Divine timing (and I understand the competitive nature of curated lists). The lesson behind this launch fired me up even more to create some powerful change in the world and here's why…

In just 13 days several people have contacted me saying this book has changed their life and their mindset. One lady tried to take her own life and decided to have a “Dear Universe” moment to ask for a miracle. On the day she vowed would be her last, her mindset shifted by reading one of the mini-meditations. She sent me a message of thanks and I read the message over and over again and my heart literally did backflips of joy with the energy of gratitude that she could see a new perspective and find hope to keep living.

Another woman is the mother of a 1 year old, a wife, and a business owner. She struggled to find balance and felt stuck in a state of serious overwhelm. After reading the “Balanced” mini-meditation she felt a huge weight lift from her shoulders.

Dear Universe is changing lives…

Which brings me to the point of this post…

I’m writing to ask for your help.

Dear Universe is more than just a book for me, it’s a movement and a mindfulness tool. I want you to be involved.

This book is a vehicle for impact in the world and I want it to reach as many people as possible.

7 Life-Changing Benefits of Visualization

Visualization is an art-form. It’s when you create pictures and mental imagery in your mind to prompt positive outcomes and change. Anyone can do it and the benefits are awe-inspiring.

Not sure where to begin? Try my FREE Be The Love Visualization that you can download here (coming soon).

Here are the top 7 life-changing benefits of visualization…

Note: By “Life Changing” I mean that they have the power to transform your life if you’re willing to try the modality for yourself.

1: It Sparks Inspiration

If you’ve ever felt blocked or stuck, then taking a few minutes to
sit in silence, with your eyes closed.  In
your mind, envision your future and see yourself manifesting and creating
experiences that bring you joy and meaning.

Hint: The more you do this exercise on a daily basis, the more you will spark inspiration to take inspired action. So often we don’t know where to start and the momentum is built by first seeing a path forward in your mind’s eye.  

2: It Gets Rid of Stress

There are a gazillion health benefits to meditation and visualization.
Apparently it lowers cortisol levels (the stress chemical) and also cholesterol.
It can help to alleviate anxiety and makes it easier to get to sleep at night.

Hint: Try your visualizations right before you go to sleep at night. Your mind is in a prime state to absorb your imagery and lock it into your subconscious mind.

3: It Opens Your Mind to All Possibilities

When you can visualize your desired outcome in your mind, then you
can see that anything and everything becomes possible.

Hint: The key to manifestation is to open your heart and your mind to all possibilities. There are no limits to your imagination, which is why it’s so important to spend time pushing the edges of creative possibility.

4: It Brings Meaning To Your Journey

When you visualize, it’s important to weave in your feelings and emotions. Ask yourself (as you are spending time in your visualization) how you feel. How are other impacted by your mission and your manifestation? When you become aware of the emotions that are rising up within you during your visualizations they become magnetized and you can attract the manifestation of them a lot faster.

5: It Optimizes Your Performance

There are many professional athletes that swear
by the power of visualization and know that their performance will be better if
they can rehearse it in their mind’s eye first. Runners, swimmers, professional
poker players all love to visualize success before it unfolds in their current
reality. If you can see it, you can achieve it.

“Nothing can prevent your picture from coming into concrete form except the same power which gave it birth – yourself.”

Genevieve Behrend

6: It Speaks to The Universe Directly

When you take the delicious time for yourself to visualize your
goals, dreams, wishes and desires then you are speaking the love language of
The Universe. The Universe adores it when you allow yourself to get swept up in
the magic of your imagination. Simply calling in a better life is a love letter
to the cosmos and a sweet high-five for your existence.

Hint: If you’d like to create a more direct connection to The Universe (the Divine within) then make sure you get a copy of my book called Dear Universe: 200 Mini-Meditations for Instant Manifestations. The idea is to invite you to embrace your feelings and change your life.

7: It Creates Clarity and Intention

Sometimes you might not know what you want until you can picture it.
Let’s take the idea of buying a new dress for example. You see that it looks
great on the hanger or on the photo of it in the online store. You might buy it
before trying it on, only to discover that it doesn’t quite fit right when you
wear it. The same is for your goals and intentions.

Hint: You must project yourself into your future intentions and try on your dreams. Do they feel you? How do they feel?

The Importance of Emotional Empowerment to Set Yourself Free

Have you ever blamed someone for how you feel?

Have you ever pointed the finger at another human and made them responsible for a situation or an outcome? The truth? That’s the fastest path to unhappiness because you’re not willing to claim your power.

But here's what great about that…

You do have the power to guide your energy and your emotions no matter what you are feeling.

The Orchid Effect

I used an example when I was teaching a workshop today of the difference between watering an orchid with pure, clean water as opposed to feeding it with nail polish remover.

What do you think happens? Yep, you guessed it. It shrivels and dies.

We need to view and treat our emotions with care, compassion and kindness or we will never bloom with our beautiful orchid petals of infinite possibilities.

Speaking of which, this week I have hosted two of the three workshops over on Facebook called “Claim Your Power”. The first day have over 10,000 comments and the second day had over 11,000 comments! The idea was to invite the viewers to be involved in the workshop and participate. And they sure did!

This event is celebrating the launch of my latest book called Dear Universe: 200 Mini-Meditations for Instant Manifestations.

The fastest way to set yourself free is to remember that you have the ability to empower your emotions.

Let me tell you more about Dear Universe…

3 Secrets For Instant Manifestations

It’s an incredibly exciting time because my book (Dear Universe) is out there in the world finally! The subtitle is 200 Mini-Meditations for Instant Manifestations and it occurred to me that I would love to explain a little further about the concept of “instant” in the correct context.

You might hear the word “instant” and question if it’s possible. There’s instant coffee and instant packets of noodles that are as simple as putting hot water in a cup and watching the magic unfold before your very eyes. However, when it comes to manifestation it’s diving into the realm of the unmeasurable for most people.

But what if I told you that you can slow down and measure the efficacy of your instant manifestations?

It’s so simple, it’s seems stupid.

Each emotion and feeling that you have on a moment-by-moment basis is a manifestation. Yes, you read that correctly. Your EMOTIONS are manifestations. This is how The Universe delivers your experience into your reality.

You might think that it’s the materialization of that thing you want. As an example, you might wish for a new car, a soulmate, a dream home – HOWEVER – it’s how you feel about these things that can be manifested as fast as a flash of lightning.

You’ve probably heard of the Law of Attraction philosophy that “thoughts become things”.

Well, that’s only one piece of a much larger puzzle.

Here are 3 Secrets for Instant Manifestation that will support you on your journey to creating anything that your heart desires…

Secret 1: You Can Guide Your Energy and Your Emotions

When you remember that you have the power to guide your energy and your emotions then you can gain awareness over the vibration you are sending out there for The Universe to respond to. This means when you are handing your power over by blaming someone else for how you feel. As an example, let’s just say your spouse doesn’t remember to put the toilet seat down (not that that ever happens, right?) then you are the one that ALLOWS your energy to get carried away out of your zone of happiness. It’s on you – own it and it's a game changer.When you own your super powers of emotional navigation you will create and manifest miracles faster than you can count. And yes, this can manifest instantly.

Secret  2: The Universe wants you to let go of time as a construct

As humans we get so caught up on life manifesting in the time we want it to, versus the time that it requires to be ready for what we asked for. Let’s just say you want to bake a delicious cake. You mix up all of the ingredients, preheat the oven, make sure it’s in the right pan, lick the spoon and set the timer. You know that in 45-60 minutes you will have a perfectly spongy, super-yummy, gluten free vegan chocolate cake. However, if you take it out before it’s ready – because you just want to eat the darn cake already, it will not be what you envisioned. It won't. It will taste gross.

The Universe wants you to remember to trust in divine timing – that your intentions are cooking and if you pull them out of the oven too soon, you will be eating the raw batter of disappointment. When you remember that everything always appears in perfect Divine timing, then you can manifest instantly.

Secret 3: Strengthen Your Intuition and Your Emotional Awareness Daily

It’s like building a muscle. You must show up in the gym to do the work, or the muscle can’t work for you and show up with the strength you need. Simply by asking yourself and checking in to see how you’re feeling will help you to manifest instantly. When you become acutely aware of your vibration and the what you are feeling – what will serve you becomes crystal clear and you have direct access to the present moment. This is what I call “The Creation Point”.

You manifest instantly when you can face the present moment with curiosity, strength and intuitive stamina to trust in the journey.
