Can I Manifest Something For Someone Else?

A really frequently asked question that is posed to me all the time is: Can I Manifest Something For Someone Else?

You can listen to this as a podcast.

Many of the students in my online communities ask this question almost on a daily basis because they want to help out their loved ones. One lady’s teenage daughter cannot seem to find happiness no matter how hard she tries. Another person’s husband is in the horrendous cycle of depression due to unemployment. Also, there are countless people that want to help their friends and family members to rise up and feel inspired.

Of course it’s natural to want to make life better for your loved ones. But can you manifest for them on their behalf? The short answer is no. And here’s why…

We all have our own unique soul signature and frequency that vibrates out there into the Universe. As you might know, your thoughts create your reality and then they are bounced back to you in the form of your life experience (usually with astounding accuracy).

Let’s just say you want to manifest a brand new car for your sister. You could spend countless hours of times visualizing your sister driving the new set of wheels. You could create a vision board, meditate daily, do a manifesting ritual and yet nothing seems to appear for her. Why, you might ask?

It all boils down to ALIGNMENT.

It’s your focus, your energy, your vibration and your frequency. Sure, if your sister is in total alignment with manifesting a new car then it will of course roll into her reality. But was it you that did it for her? Nope. It’s ALL up to the individual.

The best way to support your loved ones is by holding space and sending positive energy in their direction. You must and need to allow the Universe to unfold their experiences in accordance to perfect Divine timing. Otherwise, you run the risk of lowering your own reserves of inspirational energy.

You have to think of yourself as a light-worker. You’re there to share the light and remind people of the light they have within themselves. It is an impersonal journey to manifesting our desires. Our souls are uniquely guided to map out the best soul path for the ultimate expansion of our consciousness.

When we remember our own power and remind others of theirs, that is the best gift that you could ever manifest for another human being.

With Love, Sarah xo

Say These 10 Magical Words To Receive A Meaningful Sign From The Universe

To spark a conversation with the Universe you must learn to ASK for signs, symbols and synchronicities. Otherwise you are just randomly floating through life without being intentional with what you are putting out there to the cosmic forces at play.

Listen to this as a podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

This is how most people tend to view manifestation and the Law of Attraction, that it's like something external and novel. However, the truth is that by building a bridge of communication (most importantly, consistent communication) between yourself and the Universe then you will begin to amplify the energy you draw into your reality.

So where does the magic of the journey begin?

It always commences with the ASKING.

Signs show up for me on a daily basis because I have created a really strong connection with the Universe. It's fun and also great confirmation of tapping into the flow of infinite possibilities.

Here are the 10 magical words to receive a sign from the Universe.

Open your heart and say them aloud. You can even write them down or download this image:

Dear Universe,
Send me a sign
or an inspired idea.

(10 words)

This gets the energetic momentum rolling. I asked this question when I was on a trip to Sedona this year and the response I got from the Universe was life-changing. You can read all about that here.

Another example is that I went into early labor with my fourth child in 2016. On the day Ava Moon was born there was a rainbow in the sky for most of the day. This was unheard for a few reasons. The first is that it hardly rains in Vegas and that rainbows usually come and go. This rainbow was arched over the hospital as we drove straight to the emergency room.

As soon as you pose this powerful statement to the field of infinite potential in a “Dear Universe” moment of intention, then it begins to react and respond behind the scenes to deliver the goods.

Try it for yourself and see what happens.

If you LOVE this then make sure you check The Dear Universe Academy: Your School For Meaningful Manifestation.

The Dear Universe Academy is a 14-week interactive video-based training program where you will master the art of meaningful manifestation and create a consistent, unbreakable connection with The Universe… so you can finally manifest the life you’ve always dreamed of.
If you’re wanting to up-level your life, business, relationship or career, this program was specifically designed for you.

10 Things To Never Apologize For

This is a reboot of an old article that I wrote back in 2014. I updated it slightly and it definitely has different energy (from me anyway) for the revision. 

I am not a big fan of the saying “sorry not sorry” because it skips personal responsibility. And learning to refine the art of deeply apologizing from a space of humility can be transformational. 

With that being said there are many of us that have what can be described as people pleasing tendencies. Which prompts the need for my first question…

Ever wondered why people say sorry for certain things when there really is no need to apologize? Or have you ever had someone dismiss you and belittle your feelings saying that they're not valid or relevant? Well here's a list of the 10 Things You Should Never Apologize For.

There really is no need to apologize for any of these things…ever!

PLEASE NOTE: The doors to the Dear Universe Academy – Your School For Meaningful Manifestation are NOW OPEN!

Here are the things that you must never apologize for…

1. How you feel

Expressing the way you feel (and I mean really feel about something) is a gift. When you tell someone about the way you feel on a certain subject you should never think twice about apologizing for expressing your personal perspective. That is, unless it's harmful to the other person or intended to manipulate the situation. Letting people know where you're at and how you feel is so important. If you don't express your true feelings then they get swept under the carpet and can harbor animosity. Seriously, they will fester and implode within your soul like a stink bomb.

AFFIRMATION: It is safe for me to express my truth and the way that I feel.

AWARENESS: Always remember to consider the person you are expressing your feelings to as well. How will it land? Release your expectations. Build a bridge of conscious communication where you can. 

2. What makes you laugh

Your sense of humor is your own set-point of uniqueness. The beauty of the human condition is that there are so many beautiful types of humor and no ‘one size fits all' solution. Whether you laugh at poo jokes (like I often do), videos of kittens or even ridiculous shows like Impractical Jokers – always be unapologetic for what makes you giggle. Life is funny. 

AFFIRMATION: The things that amuse me and make me laugh feed my soul.

AWARENESS: Not everyone will find the same things funny and that’s perfectly okay. However, nothing is sweeter than sharing a laugh. 

3. What you believe in

In a time where polarization is at somewhat of an all-time high this is where we are called to do important spiritual work and find a path that comes together instead of divides.  You have 100% permission to believe in whatever you wish as long as you don't intentionally hurt people in order to prove a point.

AFFIRMATION: My beliefs are my own and the compass for my soul.

AWARENESS: Be kind. Always choose kindness and be mindful of intentionally creating division. 

4. Your past

It’s over, it can be healed, it can be celebrated. There is no amount of shame from the past that cannot be undone by the power of love. This is part of the Be The Love philosophy from my new book of feel, heal and reveal << pre-order the book here.

AFFIRMATION: The past is over, the memories are pretty funny though. I let go with love. I remember with kindness. 

AWARENESS: Honor the past because it created who you are today. 

5. Your future and your dreams

Never apologize for your dreams or what you want for your future. However, make room for compromise if you are in a long term situation with others so that you're not appearing to be totally self-involved. Make your dreams happen, never apologize for dreaming big and wanting more for yourself. If you want to MANIFEST your dreams then check out the Dear Universe Academy – Your School For Meaningful Manifestation.

AFFIRMATION: I allow myself to create an amazing future.

AWARENESS: Not everyone will be on the same page with what’s possible to create in life. We’re all growing and learning at our own pace. 

6. Your body or your weight

If you're apologizing for the way your body looks then stop it. You need to own the magnificence of your body –  the fact that it keeps you alive and HONOR IT. Saying sorry to someone because you're too big, too small, too green…whatever…is harmful to your heart. 

AFFIRMATION: I am enough.

AWARENESS: Body acceptance is a personal journey. 

7. Your children

Unless they are throwing their own poo around in a restaurant or yelling out vulgarities to others, then never apologize for your children. Kids are supposed to behave like kids. And if you do encounter the grouch that speaks up and makes you feel like you need to apologize for your children then gently remind them that they once were kids too. Side note: also never apologize for how you are choosing to raise your children. It's not anyones's business to question your intention.

AFFIRMATION: Kids are vibrant, messy, loud, beautiful souls that need space to be creative.

AWARENESS: Mindfulness is something that kids can be taught. Teaching them to consider others is really important as well. 

8. How much you earn

Never feel the need to apologize for earning too much or not earning enough. Money is an exchange for energy, that's all. So when you're saying sorry for having too little or even too much, then you are making a very powerful affirmation to the Universe to cease the flow of abundance.

AFFIRMATION: It is safe for me to allow more abundance into my life and feel comfortable to share my wealth when it flows with ease.

AWARENESS: Abundance means different things to different people. Only you get to define what it means. 

9. Your personal/emotional boundaries

You draw the line when it comes to saying something isn't okay. We should all learn to assert our boundaries and not be apologetic for our decisions that enforce our own emotional safety.

AFFIRMATION: It's okay, when I say it's okay.

AWARENESS: Some people are unaware of boundaries which is why it’s so important to use communication skills to illumination the path forward. 

10. Your sexuality

This one should be the most obvious. 

AFFIRMATION: My sexuality never needs to be explained.

AWARENESS: Never, ever, assume. 

Hope you enjoyed these! If you LOVED this and want more then check out:

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 check out The Dear Universe Academy – Your School For Meaningful Manifestation. This will help to get out of your own way and help you to strengthen your intuition.

Why I Created The Dear Universe Academy: Your School For Meaningful Manifestation

In a moment I’ll be sharing with you the precise message I recently received from The Universe…

If you'd prefer to listen to this as a podcast episode, it will be live in the next couple hours on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

And then I’ll share how you too can receive your own message from The Universe by speaking, embodying and affirming just a few simple words. 

But first, let’s set the stage for what’s to come. 

As a cherished member of my manifesting community I want you to know that I am always thinking of new ways to support you on your spiritual journey. It’s my greatest joy to see your manifestations materialize into real life results. 

But why is it that some people manifest with ease and grace while others can’t even manifest a dirty old penny on the ground? 

I believe it’s a symptom of disconnection from the magic of the Universe. 

If you joined me and the 18,000 participants this week for my 5-day manifestation challenge, you probably recognize now that The Missing Key to The Law of Attraction is CONSISTENT connection with The Universe.

Now to clarify… we can never truly be disconnected. The Universe is ALWAYS there for you… 

However, your sacred relationship with The Universe must be activated and amplified to get real and meaningful manifestation results. Just like we must do when we want healthy relationships, your connection must be built and nurtured consistently.  

So let me ask you a question… 

Have you ever thought that perhaps you’re not listening to The Universe? 

Or worse…

Do you ever feel like the Universe isn’t listening to you?   

I’ve asked this question many times over the past month and it’s for a specific reason…

I’m hearing it everywhere in my community. And while some are painfully aware of their disconnection, others need a gentle prompt for self reflection (and hence, the question).

The key take away I want you to get here is this…

You’re not alone. And there is a clear path available to you to feel connected again (with The Universe – and permanently this time). 

Now, the last 2 years have been challenging for ALL of us. It’s been a period of self-reflection, re-evaluating our values and priorities, and a time of great change on a global scale. 

For me, 2021 has been a time of auditing everything I knew about The Law of Attraction and Manifesting so I could reconnect with the Universe and ultimately… serve you at a higher level. 

As I began to uplevel my manifestation teachings, I prioritized self-care for the first time in my life and, when I did, something truly magical happened…

The Universe spoke to me. 

It happened while I was in Sedona, Arizona. An absolutely mesmerizing, mystical and magical place I fell in love with and, in just six months, visited three times! 

It’s a place I truly feel connected to the nature and groundedness that I also love about The Hamptons on Long Island, NY – which is where I am writing to you from now. 

Here’s how the Universe ended up speaking to me…

On the 19th of May, 2021 – and while in Sedona – after sitting in deep reverence and appreciation for everything that lead me up to that point (the good, the bad, the joyful and the ugly)… almost like a lightning bolt I felt a powerful connection with The Universe unlike anything I had recently experienced…

And I had to write! Because The Universe was sending me a very specific message.

That message was this:  

“Dear Sarah, THIS IS YOUR SIGN. It is time to create a new school for meaningful manifestation. Show people not just “how” to manifest,” but more importantly, how to manifest sustainably and meaningfully. Teach them how to create a consistent and unbreakable connection with The Universe. The time is now. Go and create.”

My hands were trembling and I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the mission ahead of me. And so I did what any sound person with the guidance of The Universe would do…

I took inspired action and got to work. 

It took 22+ years of meditation and visualization training, metaphysical studies, graduating from the school of Hard Knocks and riding the many exquisite waves of success and failures to finally create this… and I am so honored, humbled and grateful to finally be able to share this with you: 

>>> The Dear Universe Academy – Your School For Meaningful Manifestation

Now, in a moment, let’s talk about how you can receive your own message, idea or sign from The Universe, but first I have to clarify…

The Dear Universe Academy is NOT currently open…

However, it will be open to “the public” in just a couple days on Monday, November 8th at 8:00 AM PDT, and here’s why that’s important…

There will be a very special early bird bonus for anyone signing up on Monday, there’s just one problem…

There’s only a limited quantity of the bonus available.

I wish it weren’t the case, but you’ll understand why on Monday when the bonus is revealed…

Now that “limited quantity” may not sound like good news, so here’s how I’m going to make it great news for you: 

Anyone who signs up to the VIP waitlist will be invited to enroll 1 hour prior to me pushing the “DOORS ARE OPEN” announcement to over 300,000 people. 

Which means you'll get the chance to get the early bird bonus before the supply dries up. 

So here’s what I encourage you to do now: 

>>> Get on the waitlist and set a calendar reminder for Monday, 11/8 at 7:00 AM PDT(that’s when you’ll receive your invitation after getting on the waitlist)

What is The Dear Universe Academy? 

The Dear Universe Academy is a 14-week interactive video-based training program where you will master the art of meaningful manifestation and finally create a consistent, unbreakable connection with The Universe… so you can finally manifest the life you’ve always dreamed of.

If you’re wanting to uplevel your life, business, relationship or career, this program was specifically designed for you, and I promise you this…

When you enroll in The Dear Universe Academy, your days of feeling disconnected from The Universe will finally be over. 

Now how do you receive YOUR message from The Universe?

Like I said, it’s actually quite simple and requires speaking, embodying and affirming just a few simple words…

The words begin with, “Dear Universe” and they conclude with the 8 words you see in the image towards the top of this page.

And by the way, please do not take the simplicity of these words lightly. 

I will share more insight on how to use them tomorrow, but in the meantime…

>>> Read The Words on This Page. WRITE the Dear Universe Affirmation by hand and speak it aloud…

And then, most importantly, get on the waitlist for The Dear Universe Academy so we can continue our journey together:

GET ON THE DEAR UNIVERSE ACADEMY WAITLIST

With Love, Sarah Prout

P. S.

I’ve poured my heart and soul into this message and I highly encourage you to read every word, because it contains the very path you need for a life filled with meaningful manifestation.

How Visualization, Connection With The Universe And Inspired Action Manifests Opportunities

This is the story of how I manifested thousands of dollars for my very first paycheck.

I had just turned 14 and it was the tail-end of school vacation. It was 1994, so there was no internet, no Facebook, no DVDs and I lived in a little town called Red Hill that was about an hour out of Melbourne (Australia) in the countryside. I would spend a lot of time in my room listening to Nirvana (before Kurt Cobain died) on my portable CD boom box.

My parents were entrepreneurs and artists and would sometimes struggle with cash flow, so it imprinted into my mind that you had to be creative and resourceful to manifest opportunities for yourself. I seemed to always have a business concept in development whether it was making jewelry or selling bunches of flowers in the springtime on the side of road.

Being creative would feed my soul, it still does.

One day I had an inspired idea that I would design a range of gift wrap and send it around to different manufacturers to see if they would print them. I spent two weeks drawing different kinds of patterns with bright colored markers. I arranged the color copies of the designs into display folders with carefully crafted cover letters. In the letter, I made no mention of my age. I also remember leveraging the fact that I had sent the designs around to other companies as well.

I had my sights set on Hallmark even though I approached about 5 companies in total. Hallmark was the biggest company with the most amount of reach. After I sent my proposals out via snail mail I waited, and waited, and waited…

During this time I would visualize seeing the finished designs on display racks in department stores and how cool it would feel. I distinctly remember tuning into the FEELING. It wasn't about the money, because I didn't even know what the going rate was for published gift wrap or cards. Anything would be greatly appreciated and because I was open to all possibilities the excitement made the experience really fun.

However, that excitement soon turned to fear when I wasn't seeing any evidence that I would manifest the outcome I desired. Especially as the weeks rolled by, the doubt and anxiety began to creep into my mind.

My work isn't good enough.
I'm not good enough.

I remember feeling like perhaps they wouldn't return my work either and I'd lose my display folders. Those things were expensive!

More than two or three weeks passed and I still hadn't heard anything back. In my mind, I literally had given up. I surrendered and didn't care anymore. I made peace with the fact that at least I had tried. I remember thinking that if that door of opportunity didn't open for me, then another one surely would in the future.

Then one day (not too soon after) my mother told me there was a woman on the phone for me from Hallmark! They wanted to meet for a discussion to create new products for their Spring line. At this point, I had to explain I would need the day off school and my Dad would have to drive me. I can appreciate that they probably saw the novelty in the situation – especially since it became a story for the media later down the track.

Remember, this was in the days before Photoshop and scanners, so the process of creating the artwork all had to be done by hand. Thankfully my parents helped out with some of the painting, once I had carefully created the outline with black fine liner pens.

Once the final product was delivered to Hallmark by the print deadline, I was mailed a check for thousands of dollars for “design services”. I felt such a sense of achievement.

Just a few short months later, I strolled into one of Australia's largest department stores and saw a full display of my Easter designs. It felt like a beautiful full circle moment where I believed in the power of manifesting.

This story illustrates the process of manifestation perfectly…

– Think of Creative Idea
– Take Inspired Action
– Connect With The Universe
– Visualize The Outcome (with feeling)
– Experience Seeming Failure
– Surrender to the Process
– then SUCCESS!

I never stopped believing that the Universe would deliver my intentions. You see when you open up your connection to the Universe then anything can manifest.

Ever wondered why people say sorry for certain things when there really is no need to apologize? Or have you ever had someone dismiss you and belittle your feelings saying that they're not valid or relevant? Well here's a list of the 10 Things You Should Never Apologize For.

There really is no need to apologize for any of these things…ever!

PLEASE NOTE: The doors to the Dear Universe Academy – Your School For Meaningful Manifestation are NOW OPEN!

Here are the things that you must never apologize for…

1. How you feel

Expressing the way you feel (and I mean really feel about something) is a gift. When you tell someone about the way you feel on a certain subject you should never think twice about apologizing for expressing your personal perspective. That is, unless it's harmful to the other person or intended to manipulate the situation. Letting people know where you're at and how you feel is so important. If you don't express your true feelings then they get swept under the carpet and can harbor animosity. Seriously, they will fester and implode within your soul like a stink bomb.

AFFIRMATION: It is safe for me to express my truth and the way that I feel.

AWARENESS: Always remember to consider the person you are expressing your feelings to as well. How will it land? Release your expectations. Build a bridge of conscious communication where you can. 

2. What makes you laugh

Your sense of humor is your own set-point of uniqueness. The beauty of the human condition is that there are so many beautiful types of humor and no ‘one size fits all' solution. Whether you laugh at poo jokes (like I often do), videos of kittens or even ridiculous shows like Impractical Jokers – always be unapologetic for what makes you giggle. Life is funny. 

AFFIRMATION: The things that amuse me and make me laugh feed my soul.

AWARENESS: Not everyone will find the same things funny and that’s perfectly okay. However, nothing is sweeter than sharing a laugh. 

3. What you believe in

AFFIRMATION: My beliefs are my own and the compass for my soul.

AWARENESS: Be kind. Always choose kindness and be mindful of intentionally creating division. 

4. Your past

It’s over, it can be healed, it can be celebrated. There is no amount of shame from the past that cannot be undone by the power of love. This is part of the Be The Love philosophy from my new book of feel, heal and reveal << pre-order the book here.

AFFIRMATION: The past is over, the memories are pretty funny though. I let go with love. I remember with kindness. 

AWARENESS: Honor the past because it created who you are today. 

5. Your future and your dreams

Never apologize for your dreams or what you want for your future. However, make room for compromise if you are in a long term situation with others so that you're not appearing to be totally self-involved. Make your dreams happen, never apologize for dreaming big and wanting more for yourself. If you want to MANIFEST your dreams then check out the Dear Universe Academy – Your School For Meaningful Manifestation.

AFFIRMATION: I allow myself to create an amazing future.

AWARENESS: Not everyone will be on the same page with what’s possible to create in life. We’re all growing and learning at our own pace. 

6. Your body or your weight

If you're apologizing for the way your body looks then stop it. You need to own the magnificence of your body –  the fact that it keeps you alive and HONOR IT. Saying sorry to someone because you're too big, too small, too green…whatever…is harmful to your heart. 

AFFIRMATION: I am enough.

AWARENESS: Body acceptance is a personal journey. 

7. Your children

Unless they are throwing their own poo around in a restaurant or yelling out vulgarities to others, then never apologize for your children. Kids are supposed to behave like kids. And if you do encounter the grouch that speaks up and makes you feel like you need to apologize for your children then gently remind them that they once were kids too. Side note: also never apologize for how you are choosing to raise your children. It's not anyones's business to question your intention.

AFFIRMATION: Kids are vibrant, messy, loud, beautiful souls that need space to be creative.

AWARENESS: Mindfulness is something that kids can be taught. Teaching them to consider others is really important as well. 

8. How much you earn

Never feel the need to apologize for earning too much or not earning enough. Money is an exchange for energy, that's all. So when you're saying sorry for having too little or even too much, then you are making a very powerful affirmation to the Universe to cease the flow of abundance.

AFFIRMATION: It is safe for me to allow more abundance into my life and feel comfortable to share my wealth when it flows with ease.

AWARENESS: Abundance means different things to different people. Only you get to define what it means. 

9. Your personal/emotional boundaries

You draw the line when it comes to saying something isn't okay. We should all learn to assert our boundaries and not be apologetic for our decisions that enforce our own emotional safety.

AFFIRMATION: It's okay, when I say it's okay.

AWARENESS: Some people are unaware of boundaries which is why it’s so important to use communication skills to illumination the path forward. 

10. Your sexuality

This one should be the most obvious. 

AFFIRMATION: My sexuality never needs to be explained.

AWARENESS: Never, ever, assume.

A Full Moon Manifesting Ritual That Will Amplify The Energy of Your Intentions

NEXT FULL MOON: October, 20th, 2021

Rituals are a beautiful way to connect to your inner being throughout life. They can be powerfully symbolic and open the floodgates to a deeper connection to The Universe within.

The key essence of trying any ritual is to show up with an open heart, an open mind and a willingness to be open to all possibilities.

The full moon — and the week leading up the full moon — can bring some frantic energy with it.

However, it’s a magical time to spark intentions that you are holding in your heart and take them to a new vibration in order for them to finally manifest. It's a wonderful time to activate the Law of Attraction because the energy during this time is magnified quite considerably.

Full moon rituals have the power to recharge and recalibrate your energy by allowing you to channel the “frantic energy” into a useful method of consciously manifesting your desires. 

The simple truth is that if you don’t know how to ask The Universe for what you want to create in life, then you will miss out on your own sweet superpowers.

Here are The 5 Powerful Steps to activate the full moon manifestation energy and make the most of this oh-so-potent time of the month…1. Create a sacred manifesting space

Whether it’s an altar, your kitchen table or a pretty space on your nightstand, create a space of beauty where you can keep candles, journals, crystals, and other symbolic items that conjure up a deep feeling of inspiration.

2. Clear your space before the ritual

Our day to day lives can sometimes become energetically cluttered by thought-forms and other worldly dramas etc.  The best thing to do is clear your space by either burning sage (a smudge stick) which you can buy from Wholefoods or you can sprinkle the edge of your room with rock salt. I burnt some sage today actually.

Say a small invocation before you clear the space…

“Dear Universe, May I now be permitted to clear this space so that the power of my manifesting ritual is magnified and amplified with the energy of the full moon. So be it, so it is.”

Grounding is really important when you do new moon or full moon rituals.

3. Meditate for at least 5 minutes

The practice of meditation is really important throughout the manifesting process. This is because you actively relax and allow for your desires to flow from your higher self.

Set the intention before your meditation to be guided to soulfully and succinctly express all of the things you would love to manifest into your life. Call them to rise to the surface of your heart.

4. Use the power of affirmations

Affirmations are a powerful way to imprint your subconscious mind and shift your beliefs to attract abundance.

Here are my top three you can try for yourself to witness the magic:

+ Affirmations to RAISE YOUR VIBRATION

+ Affirmations to DECLARE YOUR DESTINY

+ Affirmations to CONNECT WITH THE UNIVERSE

5. Flow from your heart with the ritual without judgment

Allow yourself to lead with your heart with this process. It’s so easy to get taken off track with the urge to self-sabotage and think that this stuff doesn't work. But it does!

If you notice the little voice of doubt or certain judgments begin to rise up as you are doing the ritual, remember that they are a very natural part of the manifesting process.

You need to understand that you can’t control how you feel when the doubt rises up, but you can choose to re-frame it in order to see it as a vital balancing force for the process to be successful.

It’s ALL about perspective. Really dive into the core feelings of WHY you want to transform your life and what it would mean to the people and loved ones around you. Also enjoy the magical journey to manifest your desires. xo

If you’ve ever felt like The Universe isn’t listening, or you’re simply ready to manifest the most⁣
meaningful chapter of your life, then The Dear Universe Academy was made for YOU!⁣ Enrollment is now OPEN from November 8th-12th, 2021.

Keep Seeing 111 or 11:11? It’s A Sign from The Universe!

The 111 or 1111 sequence can be an incredibly meaningful sign of alignment in the process of manifestation. You might also see 222, 333 or perhaps even 555. Whatever the numerical sequence, these ‘Angel’ numbers are such a strong and powerful form of communication to let you know that things are all aligning very nicely.

It’s a beautiful sign of alignment and message to let you in on a little secret: You're in the flow.

You may see the clock at 11:11 or see license plates with a 111 sequence in it. You might be receipt number 111 or have your groceries total $111.00 – whatever it is, just say ‘thank you’ in your heart as you acknowledge the deep connection you have with creating your reality.
But why do I see the number 111 all the time? 

For the best podcast listening experience, download it via iTunes here.

This is a question I get asked so much, especially from my manifesting students around the world. For me the number 111 is extremely special. I’ve been seeing this number as a form of guidance for as long as I can remember. My birthday is on the 1st of November (1/11) or (11/1) for my US friends.

I frequently look at the clock at 1:11pm, see license plates with 111, phone numbers, word counts when I’m writing and the list goes on and on.

For me, it’s a message from the Universe that everything is in alignment as it is meant to unfold.

I’ve heard so many other people see 111 or 1111 (and other repetitive number patterns) that they now carry meaning but are unsure how to read the signs. I’ve also heard various explanations – ranging from it being a sign of alignment to a sacred message from your spirit guides or angels or perhaps even a warning from your higher self to pay attention to the present moment.

The truth is that it could mean absolutely nothing. We could live in this chaotic Universe with random acts that hook themselves into our awareness that mean diddly squat. However, I have experienced way too many signs of alignment to do with the number 111 that it’s a little bit too orchestrated for me to ignore.

For example, the number 111 seems to circle around in my conscious awareness when specific life events are unfolding. When I first met my husband (we met on Twitter and he flew from America for 11 days) we became acutely aware of the importance of 111 as a sign of alignment.
I was on the promo tour for my book (The Power of Influence) and my publishing company (Wiley) offered to pay for our accommodation in the honeymoon suite of The Windsor Hotel in Melbourne. The address? 111 Spring Street Melbourne.

Sean and I were at the conference venue after my speaking gigs and waiting for a taxi (in virtually the middle of nowhere). It was an hour back to the hotel. Sure enough, out of all the taxis in Melbourne number 111 rolls up to the valet area to pick us up. Needless to say we were blown away. 

These are all beautiful signs of alignment.

There are, however, a few caveats to how you interact with your connection to signs. For instance, it’s best to stay present with them and don’t read into things too deeply. Also be open to the possibility that coincidence can cleverly hide herself as syncronicity sometimes. The key is to pay attention to how you feel. Make it a fun game with the Universe where you feel fully immersed in gratitude for the gentle reminder that all is well, you are on the right path and it’s time to be present.
This is where the heavy-handed line between superstition and Divine guidance is deeply drawn in the sand.
Superstition is fear-based, whereas synchronicity and signs of alignment are powered by superconsciousness.
