SPEAKER_01 0:14

Welcome back. I'm so excited for this episode because we are going to continue our conversation that we had last week about signs. We're going to look at specifically what signs have to do with manifestation and how they can help you bring big stuff into your life. In this episode, I am going to share with you a story from my very own manifesting hole of fitting. Okay. Not a time that I'm anti copy or like a purse that I really wanted. I'm talking like one of those moments that had me speechless and left me kind of like, holy shit, this actually works. In this episode, we're going to talk about money manifesting, awareness, nervous system regulation, and I'm going to tell you exactly how I manifested$25,000 in 48 hours at a time that I really, really needed it. In this episode, we are going to talk a lot about money. Specifically the energy of money and the energy of manifestation. Why? Because it's a manifestation story about money. So I want to highlight two resources that I have that I'm probably going to reference in this episode because these products directly work with the strategies that I'm going to be talking about. I created the Inflow with Money workshop this month. It's available now on my website. Or you can go to a direct link in the show notes. It's a 60-minute workshop that looks at the energy of money specifically because money has its own thing, it has its own personality. And it looks at it from an energetic standpoint, but also like a manifestation standpoint, so that you can understand how you and your energy system relate to money. It's a relationship, okay? You have to understand how you're engaging in that relationship and all the stuff that's sort of impacting it, whether it's trauma, nervous system, ancestral, all of that, so that you can clear some stuff, but like bring some money in. It's a great starting point if what you're manifesting is in fact money. I recommend that everybody starts with this if we're trying to manifest a specific dollar amount. It's$15 American,$22 Canadian, 60-minute workshop comes with a PDF guide that gives you a couple processes to go through as you go through the workshop so that you, like I said, understand how the energy of money works, understand how your energy works, and then how the heck you combine them so that you're actively manifesting money that's in alignment with you. The second thing I'm going to talk about in this episode likely is the manifesting magic playbook. That's a bigger guide. It's a digital companion. It's not just like an e-book. I think calling an e-book really doesn't do it justice because yes, there's written parts in there, but there's also interactive elements. You click on something, a meditation opens or a playlist opens. There's printable templates, there's journal prompts. It's this very structured, guided system to support you through manifestation. And it looks at things like developing your awareness, getting your energetic resonance in check, and then taking aligned creative action, but doing so through a framework of nervous system safety. I'm going to talk a lot about nervous system safety in this episode because we're talking about money, talking about the root chakra, all of those things. So as you're listening, if you're like, I need to work on this, I want you to remember that these are available in the Creative Soul shop. I'm going to share, like I said, my story of how I manifested$25,000 in the span of 48 hours. And I did it because I needed it. I was in a crunch. Okay. It was in one of those squeeze moments. One of those moments where, like, you're doing the energetic work, you're like, you know, calming your nervous system. You've connected with that higher version of self. You know that the path that you're going on is the one that you're supposed to be on, but it's not landed in your 3D yet. And there's a gap. And it shows up as a gap in your bank account. I see this happens all the time. If you're doing like a major life jump, okay. If we're doing little things like, I want a free coffee, I want a new jacket. That stuff can come in easily. But if we're talking about big fundamental shifts to your life path, your soul path, your energy, that is a bigger gap. It's a bigger jump. And sometimes there's a little bit of lag time in between. And that, my friends, is when nervous system regulation really comes into play. So you don't shit the bed and abandon. Because honestly, that's when I see so many people jump ship, right? Because they're like, it's not coming, fuck it, it's not working. And then they leave. And literally, like two days later, something might have come in. Let's talk about manifestation first, okay? Before we go into this story, and I know you're like, please tell me how you got$25,000, because wouldn't we all like that? It would be great. Confirmation, Bert, excuse me. It wouldn't be great. And that's part of uh the mission behind the work that I do is I want everybody to understand how to do this because we can all manifest. We are all supported by an infinite energy source. We're all supported by our guides. All of that is not a hidden secret. I mean, it's hidden until you figure it out, but then once you figure it out, you just keep deploying the same process over and over again with a bit of nuances because you know things shift and change, but that's an episode for another day. But let's talk about, okay,$25,000. I was in a pinch, I needed it. I was wrapping up projects, I had stuff on the horizon that was coming up. There was no money showing up right then because I had literally left a job that was no longer in alignment with me. And this isn't like the first time I left teaching. I left teaching a few times, but it took me a while. Um, but I, you know, like all jokes aside, it was there for me when I needed it, and I took a job, but I I left it. So I was like, this isn't me anymore, right? And I can't we know that we can't manifest new things if we're anchored and tethered to a previous version of self because it's just not in alignment with our path forward. It's not, it's it's back there, right? So you're not gonna be able to attract it. If you think about like a magnet having two poles, if you're pointed one way and things are literally behind you in your past, you're not gonna be able to manifest that energy back into your life. Let's talk about manifestation. Manifestation is actually a team sport, it's a game. If you can start to think about manifestation as a game like Mario Brothers or something, it just kind of makes it a lot more accessible to you because you're not focusing on like what do I have to do to get the answer. You're looking at it like, what happens if I go here? What if I open this door? What's gonna like you're in that more growth mindset curiosity space, and that is key to being open to things like signs. And so, yes, manifestation, it's a team sport, right? We have on a team sport, not that I play team sports, but you know what I mean. We have players, coaches, spectators, sometimes cheerleaders, and they're all part of the energy dynamic that is the game. And it's the same in manifestation. We have our guides, we have our ancestors, we have our higher self, and we have like us in the 3D, our little human brain body that's trying to figure out what to do. It's all part of the dynamic, it's all part of the equation. And so what I was manifesting, this large amount of money in a very short time frame, was not something I was going to be able to do by myself. I would have never manifested this money if it wasn't for input from my guides and signs that didn't make sense. If it was just me and my little human brain, my little ego being like, I'm gonna figure this out, it would never have happened. It was one of those moments that reminded me, like, yes, we are magic because we are surrounded by magic. And if we tap into that, then we can create shit. So let me get to the actual story. Okay, hey. We know we're in a pinch. I'm freaking the fuck out. I'm like, I need money. And I was like, let me figure out how much I actually need because I want to be specific. I don't want to say, like, I need$50,000 if I don't actually need 50. And I don't want to say, oh, just give me 500. Like, I want to know the numbers because I think that's so important when we're working with things that are like tapping into our fear, we need to get really serious about what is actually reality versus what is, you know, past traumas around money or our root shopper just like having a freak out. And so when I looked at the numbers and I like did the dollars and cents, I was like, okay, I need$25,000. I like looked at my business model and like what was coming? I was like, do I get a job? Like, I don't think getting a job is gonna help right now because like it's a small amount of time. I need it like tomorrow. Like, what job's gonna pay me$25,000? And as my conscious mind, my ego mind tried to figure out the answer, that's when I started to freak out. And I started to get really panicky. Like, I'm not calm when it comes to money. I am not, okay? None of us are. None of us are relaxed and chill about money. And you probably think, like, oh, yeah, millionaires are not, they're not. Like, you bring with you your money beliefs and your scarcity beliefs and your money trauma to every single level of wealth that you're at, unless you actively work to release it and clear it. And even if you actively work to release it and clear it, it's still gonna come back because we have multiple versions of self at the same time. We have previous versions of self. We have our inner child, we have like, it's all there. We have our ancestors, we have in our DNA the stories and the traumas of the people that lived in our family's lineage before us. It's there. So it's going to keep coming up. And it's this continual work of chilling the fuck out and finding help and finding help from not like I need a loan. I mean, like, let's work with this energy and see how I can help myself through it. And so for me, at the first point, I was like, I have to calm down. I was like, this is not going to work if I'm losing my shit, like on a daily basis. It's not gonna happen. And I knew I was like, okay, this is primal. This has activated a fear of like, I'm gonna die. How am I gonna pay my mortgage? How am I gonna feed my kip? Those fears that are directly related to your survival are your root chakra. Okay. Your root chakra is at the base of your spine, and it's like the hub of your energy in your energy circuit that's related to your survival needs. It's shelter, it's food, it's all of that. And money is how we acquire those things. Okay. We use money to get shelter, to get food, to purchase and acquire the things that we need so that we don't die. So when our access to money is threatened, whether real or like perceived, root chakra gets fired up, trauma gets fired up, and your nervous system goes crazy. Money is an energy source. And when our energy source is reacting from a state of dysregulation, we're not gonna be vibing in a way that attracts that money. This is where I talked about, you know, the inflow with money workshop. That's what's in there. I'm gonna guide you with like how to regulate your money energy so that you're attracting shit instead of repelling shit. If this is like resonating with you, go get that workshop and and look in it. Like, like actually look in it and do the work. Don't just think like, hmm, that would be nice to do that one day. Go do it. So, yes, I'm like jacked the f up. My ego mind is like forcing me to have an answer. What are you gonna do? You gonna do this? How are you gonna do it? You're gonna die. Like, it's just nonstop chatter. And I'm like, I need to shut this voice up in my head. I need to make space so that I'm actually going to receive the answer. And I need to chill because my heart is pounding and I like my body's not cool right now. And so I walked. As soon as this like panic started to swell up, and I was like, I don't know how I'm gonna do this. I was like, put your shoes on, get outside, walk. And if you know me, you know that I walk every single day. And some days I walk more than once. And this is the time in my life where I was walking and walking and walking. Whenever I felt that sort of swell of like, holy shit, figure it out energy. I was like, we're going out and we're walking. I just want to do a little side note about like why walking. Walking is my go-to recommendation because it works on different um energy points. It's not just like we're out there walking and we're getting fresh air. There are like five entry points in terms of how walking works with your energy and manifestation. So the first thing is if you're walking and you go outside, like you're walking outside, not on a treadmill, you are putting your body out into a space so that your energy can match the energy of the surroundings. Okay. Our energy matches our surroundings all the time. It's why when you're like with really negative people, you feel really negative. If you're in a works things that's really chaotic, you go home feeling scrambled, like just all over the place. You don't feel really clear-headed. It's because your energetic state is mirroring your surroundings. So go outside because nature, what does nature do? It is inherently creative, it is inherently abundant, it goes through cycles of release and receive. Like it just goes through these cycles naturally, it doesn't force it. And so if you move your body into the space of the outdoors, you're going to take your energy and it's gonna go from like scramble and crazy into a place that's more steady and coherent. And when you were steady and coherent, stuff's gonna flow. Like I think that's just kind of obvious, right? We know that we want to be in that state, but beyond that, being coherent and open and calm, it's expansive, right? So we want to be in that energy of growth and expansion and abundance. So outside first and foremost, okay. The other part with walking is that it directly chills your nervous system out very quickly, okay? It uses something called bilateral stimulation, which is like if you're familiar with butterfly taps on your chest where you sort of like cross your hands over and you tap one side, other side, or if you've ever had any EMDR, it's this pattern of back and forth, left and right, left, right, left, right. And it's like a steady, repeatable rhythm that stimulates the alternate sides of your brain. It takes you from crazy town to like to like a little calmer. And so we can see how like we want our energy to be in an abundant, expansive state. We want our nervous system to be coherent and calm. But the other thing with walking, especially outside, is yes, it's gonna do those things, but it's going to tap into, and this is the key, especially for this episode and this story. I could not have manifested without awareness. And the act of walking outdoors is going to force you into awareness because you're going to be in your senses. You're going to hear a bird, or you're going to see houses that look really cool, or because you're not plugged in anything. These are not walks listening to podcasts. Even mine, like, no, no, no, not when you're doing this. You're not into a podcast, you're not into a playlist. I want you like walking in silence so that your body becomes this like receiver space of sensory input, sounds, sights, smells. Because when we're in that sensory base or like anchored in our senses, we're embodied. The word is embodiment. When we're in there, that's when we start to become aware of the things that are like a little unusual or different. Like we're so often on autopilot, and it's called the default mode network. Like, we can geek out about that on another episode, but our brain slides into autopilot. We all know that. You drive a car and then you're like to work and you're like, How did I get here? Because you're kind of offline. So when you have these sensory-rich experiences, you're literally like hijacking that and pulling your brain into your body and into what is unfolding in front of you right then. And that ability to be aware of the little micro shifts that are happening is the exact energy that you utilize as your springboard into aligned action. Action is not aligned if there's no awareness. Action that's not like aware is like hot menace. I'm just gonna do this and that. It's like throwing spaghetti at the wall. And we all do it, right? We wonder why it does it work, and that's why it doesn't work. But the last thing that's like four, I think we read four things with walking, is because there's no input auditory, like you're not listening to anything and you're not talking, you create actual like mental space to hear insights, whether it's coming from your own internal dialogue and your intuition, or if it's literally like a clear audience or a clear convincing download, meaning like you just have a knowing and you don't know how you know it, or you hear something in your head. I hear shit in my head all the time. I get random downloads through like songs. I will hear a song that starts looping, I'll ask a question, and the song will come and the answer will be in the song. You're not gonna hear that if you don't have space and you don't have awareness. So my number one recommendation is put your shoes on and go outside. You're not going to find answers by sitting down and being like, I'm gonna write down a list until I get to the right answer. It's like, no, we have to shift our energy. I think it was like Einstein, who said you problems can't be solved from the energy they were created. He knows what the fuck he's talking about. But there's a reason he's in our history books. We're not gonna create or find the answer unless we shift our energetic state. So outside, walking, shifting your energy, calming your nervous system, tabbing into that awareness energy that is so so needed, and then creating space for downloads to actually come in. And so I'm out for a walk, multiple walks, blowing off steam, asking myself, how the hell am I going to get through this? And for the first day or two there were no answers, but I was like, we're still walking, we're still grounding, we're still like, we're still doing the work until it shows up. Because I know that eventually there's going to be a sign, whether external or internal, that's going to it's going to be like the light in the dark, you know, turn the light on in a dark room, and you're like, eh, okay, I'm gonna do this. And so these processes that I'm talking about here, right? Just as a side note, grounding, tapping into awareness, using your senses, all of that, nervous system regulation, that is the foundation of the manifesting magic playbook. It's not about forcing anything, it's about teaching you how to develop a system that works with your energy and makes space for these like aha moments to come through. So we need this awareness so that we know what's going on in our life, right? We need this awareness because when we're manifesting something big and it's life shifting, it's gonna come in a way that we don't expect. Because if we expected where it was coming from, we wouldn't have figured it out and we would have found it, right? So we need that awareness and we're looking for clues. We're literally looking for clues from the universe because we've had that moment, we're like on our knees in the middle of the night, begging the universe, like, send me a sign, help me and do the work so that you can receive the side and see it. And I want you to understand that how this money came into my life is so obscure and weird. And if I wasn't aware and present, and if I wasn't sort of working with an intention of opening up to receiving threads of um symbolism or synchronicity, I would not have found it. I absolutely would not have found it if I sat down and was like, I'm gonna figure this out on my own, because the money didn't come from an expectant source. Okay. The$25,000 was not a gift from a family member. It was not a loan from somebody that I knew. Um, it didn't come from me like watching a service or coming up with a new product. It like was straight up$25,000 that hit my bank account from a place that I didn't even know. Like I had zero conscious awareness that this even existed. And you're like, how does that happen? How do you not know something even exists? And then it's in your bank account in 48 hours. You calm down, you open up, and you follow through. Like you follow through with the nudges that don't make sense because they're leading you somewhere, I promise. And so it started with a dream. Side note, if you're not tracking and working with your dreams, I really, really, really want you to be because your dreams are not just like gobbledygook, okay? It's not like I went to a swimming pool and had a conversation with a duck, and he told me that the next president was like, okay, they're not just that, they start out like that, and we all have dreams that are weird, and even when they're, you know, filled with symbolism and um guidance, they're still gonna be symbolic and odd because we're in that like subconscious state of our mind that works on abstract symbols. But as you work with your dreams, like if you set that intention, we're like, I'm gonna pay attention to my dreams, I'm gonna ask for guidance and I'm gonna receive it. Your dreams are actually gonna start to shape shift. Okay. They're going to start to become more coherent, or you'll see the rents and themes evolving. Like you'll see, I'm dreaming about driving a car again, and it's over and over again. And you can sort of look and see patterns. Your dreams are that space where it's like your guides, your spirit team can reach you and they can just sort of connect and be like, let's send her a message through here. That's literally what your dreams can be. And like you'll be surprised, like I said, what comes through. I had this dream where my grandfather visited me. And he he's passed. He died like 10 years ago. And it was clearly a visitation dream because he was not in the physical state that he was when he died. Like he was looking good and he was in good health. He was vibrant. But he spoke to me like there was nothing else in the dream. It was just literally him and me in a room talking. And he spoke to me with such clarity and directness. And the dream was just this like small snippet of this one moment that I knew I was like, this is a guidance dream. He's this it's a visitation dream. And he's here to literally be like, yo, let me help you with this. And in the dream, he handed me an envelope. He's like, This is for you. And I open it up, and in the envelope, there's a check for like a very large six-figure sum of money. And I open it up and I'm like, This is for me. Like, thanks. And I was like, what's it for? And he was so clear. He just looked at me, goes, Because they made an error. It's for work that you did a long time ago when you were a teenager at Wendy's. You didn't receive what you were supposed to. Here. Hands me the envelope. I'm like, thanks. Poof, that's it. I'm awake. Like there's literally nothing else in the dream. Me, my dead grandpa sitting in a room, hands me an envelope filled with my a check, and it's directly related. My ear is ringing. I'm telling them the story. Let me keep going. Sorry. He's like, yes, listen to your dream. Somebody listening to this podcast has probably got like dream communication that's trying to come through. So listen. So there's not much to the dream. It's not like he's like, let's get in the car and go here. And then a duck showed up, and then we were at Disney. Like it was just this very clear. We're sitting down and we're having a conversation. And I woke up and I was like, Wendy's. Kind of like, I was 15 when I started working at Wendy's. I was like, okay, money, why Wendy's? I was like, I'm not supposed to go work at Wendy's. And I was like, okay, whatever. Kind of wrote down my notes. I keep like, um, I keep it in my phone. Actually, I have like an a note in the notes app. Oh, it's 222. I love that little number. I have a notes app or write down like what came in the dream just so I can remember because it will disappear. If you don't write your dreams down, literally the second you wake up, you're not gonna remember them. Trust me. So I wrote down my shit really quickly, got up, got ready for the day, took my kid to school or whatever. And then I was like, I'm going for my walk. Because I'm doing my day of a walk. Because like, what else can I do? I gotta move the energy, I gotta call in some energy, I'm gonna move my body. And I'm walking and my head is getting cleared, and I'm just silent. I'm asking some questions out loud to myself. I'm waiting to see if anything comes in. And I was like, what's important in this dream? Like, what do I need to flag here? And I just kept coming back to it. I was like, Wendy's, Wendy's, Wendy's. And I was like, okay, what was Wendy's to me? I was like, it's my very first job. It's work that I don't do anymore. And it was a long time ago. Like I'm fully severed from that work dynamic. So I was like, okay, we're talking about some sort of employment that I used to do. And I immediately went to teaching. Because teaching was like the most recent standard employment thing that I had left. But I was like, am I supposed to go back? Like, is it saying you need to go back? And I was like, no, because the dream was so specific. It wasn't like go back and do what you need to do. It was like, you didn't receive what you were entitled to for this work. It was like my mind immediately went to, okay, like, is it a pay adjustment? Because that was happening in Ontario where I live. There were these like random pay adjustments, and you'd get like a check for like a thousand dollars. I was like, that's not gonna give me$20,000 or$30,000 or$40,000 or whatever it was in the dream. I was like, something's missing, but it's got something to do with work that I used to do and money missing. And I was like, okay, that's all it's gonna be. And I just sort of like I left it at that point. And so then I get home and I like, you know, start my work. I get on my computer and I open up my email. I got my usual spam crap in there. Jeans are on sale at Old Navy or this or that. And then there's this one in there from this like family tax recovery. Okay. And I open it because I hear in my head, open it. And I was like, first of all, I was like, what the fuck is that? Didn't recognize the name of it, but open it because I heard open it clear audiencely. And it's this email from this company. And I'm like, why do they have my email address? And then I had this flash to a conversation that I had had with a friend four years prior to this, where she told me that she recovered a bunch of money in her taxes because she used this company called Family Tax Recovery, and they go through your tax returns and they see like where money was missing. And she told me this literally four years ago. And I like filled it out and they go back through your taxes. I never heard anything. So I was like, I'm not getting any money. And like, she got money, but whatever. Somehow in four years, I'd forgotten about it, like I said, out of sight, out of mind, didn't have any impact in my life. But they had my email and they were sending on a random email. And the email was about the fact that they had changed their software system that they were using, and they were like recovering new money for people, and they invited you to like go resubmit your information and and like it would run, it would run it again. But I immediately was like, is this a scam? So I like did my due diligence and I looked and I was like, I don't know. And I was like, it looks legit. I was like, it's a legit company. And I was like, this is literally the company my friend showed me. But then I like went and I was like, I'll think about it, like whatever. And I started doing the work that I was supposed to do that day. And then all of a sudden, as I'm like working, I'm in flow doing something else. It hits me, and I'm like, hold on a hot second. I was like, tax recovery. Previous tax years, they go 10 years back in your history, they recover money that is owed to you. And I'm like, Wendy's envelope, you weren't paying enough. This is owed to you. Grandpa, I was like, this is the same fucking thing within 24 hours. Like, this is like literally a mirroring at the dream energy of my grandpa handing me the envelope and saying, This is from Wendy's. When we worked at Wendy's, they you were owed it and never received it. And I was like, at that moment when I connected the dots, I was like, oh, I'm filling it out. Like, I I I don't know, I didn't know that this existed 24 hours ago. But this is too synchronous for me to ignore and it makes no sense. And when something doesn't make sense and there's a synchronicity behind it, there's a reason. And so it went on their website right away because I was like, act immediately. Like once you have that intuitive download and you know you're inspired for the aligned action, you put it into action. And I was like, stop what I'm doing, open up their website, fill it out. I was like, here's my stuff, like go through it again, check my check my taxes or whatever. And I let it go. I was like, we'll see what happens. I expected nothing because I got nothing four years ago. And the next morning I woke up to an email in my inbox that was like, Congratulations, we've recovered one money. And I looked at the amount that they recovered, and I was like, what? I thought I would say like 1,500, 800, like maybe three grand if I was lucky. I was looking at this number and I was like, oh my god. And it was like, you have to pay fees, you know, to get your money. Obviously, it's a company run by lawyers, and lawyers charge money. So it was like, this is gonna be transferred to your account from the CRA, and um, you have to pay this percentage to our lawyers and taxes and whatever. I'm like, cool, great. Um, the next day I get another email. It's like, we've recovered another one. I was like, what? And it was a large amount of money again. And I looked at, I was like, holy shit, filled out the thing, you know, waited for the money. And by the end of that week, I had$25,000 after all the taxes, after all their fees, I just had$25,000 sitting in my bank account, ready to be accessed. I didn't do anything to create it. I just followed breadcrumbs that didn't make sense, and it led me through the door that I needed to walk. So was this money that I knew was available? Absolutely not. Like, was it my daily plan or was it part of my weeks like to-do list to go and find a tax recovery specialist and be like, let's see what we can find in my taxes? No, like I didn't even know it was a thing. I had forgotten that my friend had told me about this place. I had forgotten that I had even like signed up with them. And so it was not in my realm of like conscious knowing or intentional action. But did I know beyond like a shadow of a doubt that I had to do it and I had to follow through because of the signs I received? Absolutely, freaking lutely. Like hands down, no question. I was like, this has gotta be something. And none of this, none of this, none of this, none of this would have happened without awareness, right? If I was like tuned out, plugged in my phone, obsessing about the fact that money's not coming. Oh my god, I don't have money, what am I gonna do? If I wasn't clearing space and getting calm, I would not have had the level of awareness that was required to notice the dream, pull out like the symbolism in it, and then link it up to something that happened later that day. Last week, when we were talking about signs, we talked about this. We talked about how signs are everywhere, but we don't notice them because we like literally have our head to the ground or we have our head in our phone or our heads in our words, like we're buried our senses from like our awareness. We're burying our consciousness into distractions. And so if you're not proactively and purposely working on your intuition and creating that space to receive guidance from you and your spirit team, you're gonna miss this stuff. And so I share this story because it anchors back so intensely to that idea of awareness and how it's like a non-negotiable for manifesting because awareness, we know it anchors us into a presence and it allows us to see what's going on, it allows us to notice that, like, hey, that's kind of weird. That's like that. That reminds me of this. It's like those crime scene things, you know, where the people put all the pictures on the wall and they draw all the lines. Like it puts you in that state where you start to see clues and you start to see connections, and then you start following threads that you would have never ever followed. And that is exactly how we manifest. We don't manifest by making a vision board and saying, Oh, I want something new. I'm gonna just sit back and do and like wait for it. I'll say affirmations and I'll look at a picture of it. No, manifestation requires active creative energy. You have to create the thing that you're calling in, and you create it by taking little actions like researching something, reaching out to somebody, opening up an email, taking a different route to work or whatever, like whatever your guidance is going to give you, you are aware and you receive that, and then you follow through with it. What we are creating is a manifestation strategy and system for ourselves, basically, that just makes the process of manifesting a little more streamlined and like a little less stressful. So if you're not aware, what do you think happens? We get back to that spaghetti on the wall analogy, right? Like you're a hot mess doing all sorts of stuff that's unrelated, or you're doing the same fucking thing over and over and over again, even though you're not getting results. Awareness taps you into like, hey, this isn't working. I feel like shit when I do this. The awareness is the seat of everything. I believe through all the stages of manifestation, it's sitting on a space of awareness. And awareness is sitting on a base of nervous system safety. You can't have one without the other, right? You can't have awareness if you're stressed out or you're in like a danger-activated fight or flight state. They have to be together. And if you don't have those, you don't have like um a foundation for any manifestation strategy action or anything that you put out into there. There's no foundation to support it. So commit to working on your awareness. I want you to commit to working on your awareness, whatever that looks like for you, whether it's like walking in silence a couple of times a week, doing some breath work, whether it's taking a moment to like actually feel what's going on in your body energetically, you will know where you need to start. And if you don't know where to start, put that question out to the universe. Say, like, show me, show me where to start. Ask for that sign. Where do I start to build my awareness? Get curious about what's coming up in your waking life. Get curious about what's happening in your dream space. You'll get curious about like what signs are swirling around you, what synchronicities are existing and like what doors are opening that maybe you're not seeing or you may not have seen if you weren't actively questioning. If that growth mindset and curiosity, you are playing with the universe to see what results you can get. So make that commitment to double down on your awareness, okay, and see what the universe serves up to you. Because I really, really, really, really believe that with every internal energetic shift that happens in our nervous system, in our awareness, eventually our external reality is gonna shift to reflect it back and to meet us. It's going to create those opportunities, it's gonna create those doors, it's gonna open those paths because it has to mirror back what we are on the inside. If this episode sparked something, whether you had like an aha moment or a shift, or there's like an insight, and you're like, man, I really gotta, I wanna learn more about X, Y, Z. Do not stop there. Okay, that's just the beginning. It's not the end. Having the awareness is one thing, acting on it is what really seals the deal. It's the magician energy, right? In tarot, magician, he's the manifestor energy. He takes the abstract and he pulls it down and makes it tangible in the earth through the elements. It does not live in your mind. Manifestation energy starts in spirit, moves through your mind, and expresses itself out into the 3D world. It wants to become something. And we don't just sit there with the thought shift, okay? We take that creative free will, we take that creative fire and we do something. We move it from abstract into tangible, we move that energy into form because that is the real work. And that is how you become an active creator in your manifestations. So go get the manifesting magic play mock or the Inflow with Money workshop. If you're being called to that, start using your energy on purpose. Go put your shoes on and go for a walk if that's what you're being called to do. Get your crystals out, sit in meditation with them. If that's what you're being called to do, use your energy intentionally on purpose to put something into action that's gonna create that state shift within so that you can start to receive these guidance and signs that are gonna move you forward on your journey towards whatever it is that you're manifesting.
