S3E36: What I Wish I Knew Sooner About Manifestation

Getting unstuck from manifestation blocks has less to do with effort than what’s operating underneath belief, alignment, and what you assume is already in motion.

This comes from ten years of working with manifestation in real life, not theory. Over time, certain patterns became hard to ignore in how things form, shift, or stall before anything shows up on the surface.

I shine a light on the layer underneath everything that most people never really stop to look at.

If something’s felt like it’s not responding the way it should, this will change how you read what’s actually happening in your life.

Press play when you’re ready to consume 10-year's worth of advice in under 10 minutes.

Intro
Welcome to Cue the Real, the podcast to get unstuck and manifest the life that's calling you. I’m your host, Lindsay Brand, a military veteran who built success in the private sector until the Universe guided me to something deeper, helping people move from stuck to fully aligned through manifestation. I blend neuroscience, personal stories, and the most practical tools to shine a light on what’s holding you back so you can manifest the life you truly want.

Open
Hey friends,
I’ve been practicing intentional manifestation for about ten years now and most of what I know came from doing it the hard way.
From rushing timing, to forcing things, to being sure I wanted something and then realizing later I didn’t even understand what was behind it.
And over time, I started having realizations, epiphanies and things started to change.
One of them I didn’t realize I was doing for years, and it was slowing down everything. And there’s a question I started asking that changed what I even go after in the first place.
So today, I’m giving you the pieces that make the difference for me. What I wish I knew 10 years ago when I woke up and realized we are all manifesting our realities.
Let’s cue the real.

Advice
First, every moment is perfect exactly how it is. This one I learned on my first mushroom journey that I did at a retreat last October. I was shown how moments are strung together, how they are created by us and how we are exactly where we need to be at any given moment. I think back to how I treated moments before, how I rushed through things, avoided things, pushed back against time and energy. Just like being in the car and laying on the horn when someone wouldn’t go through a yellow light so I could go as well. Leaving a little late and being upset about it. Wishing time would pass faster so I could get to the next thing. Now I look around and see everything is exactly how it should be. I missed the green light because I was supposed to. I left late because there was a car accident on my route minutes before I got to that intersection. We’re living where we are to learn lessons, to create paths, and to enjoy our full range of existence. Every moment is manifested intricately and created by us and the universe. I wish I had known that sooner and saved myself the energy and heartache of forcing situations to be something different than they were.

Second, your only limitation is what you believe in. If you don’t believe that you deserve something, if you don’t think yourself worthy, you will not get that experience. If you believe you can and will manifest something in just a few days time, you will. It’s all up to you. How much you believe in yourself and your power, is what dictates your ability to create and bring things into your life or out, if that’s what you are going for. It took me a long time, and I will say I am still learning this lesson, that you will manifest according to your own beliefs.

Third, unless you have someone of equal measure when it comes to manifestation beliefs and you have full confidence in that person, there is absolutely no need to share what you are manifesting. I used to fight against this one, fiercely until I realized the effect it had on how I felt. There’s a saying that goes “If you want to kill a big dream, tell it to a small-minded person". For manifestation, I say if you want to bring doubt upon yourself, tell your idea to someone who can’t imagine that outcome. Odds are you will delay or diminish the possibility of that manifestation ever coming to fruition because you have now woven in someone else’s energy into what you are creating. So, unless you know the energy coming from that person will bolster what you’re doing, I would keep it to yourself.

Fourth, having doubts is completely normal. It is a human thing to do. It does not ruin what you are manifesting to have doubts pop up. It’s what you do with the doubts, how you treat them that has an effect. If you give those doubts energy, if you feed them and let them live in your existence, you will have problems manifesting. If you recognize them, acknowledge them, and let them be on their way, then you have no need to worry about them. They do not override your true desires and your vibration that will bring them to you. They are a gnat that lands on you and leaves you as soon as you realize it is there and you don’t think about it again until it happens again. Let them be little things that do not take your attention away from living your life how you want to live it.

Fifth, when you think of something you want to manifest, something that really has you excited, think about why you want to do that. What’s the reason behind it? Because, it is quite possible that you do not want whatever it is. That you have something deeper going on like a trauma or unhealed part of you or your ego is ready to go on a trip, that needs to be looked at in the eye. I’m telling you, so many of my early manifestations were like this and a few still today from time to time. When you really get down to the why, why do I want this? Dig, all the way down the rabbit hole, just like a therapist would. Why do you want this? Because it would be nice and make me feel good. Why do you not feel good already? Ahh, there is something there. Dig and I promise you will figure out the reason that you really want something to happen or to come to you. This has been one of the most rewarding practices I have learned in the last 10 years or so of actively, intentionally manifesting my life. I am not saying you still won’t want that thing, I am saying you will find a part of yourself that you may have not known existed and, in addition to that, may find what you do truly want.

Lastly, what you manifest may not be in its final form. Through living, you will grow and over time become a new person again and again as long as you keep growing. Just like your tastes change and what you do to spend your time, things will change. You will manifest things and grow and learn and realize you can manifest something better now because you know how. Because you know yourself better now. Your new self. Your manifestations are going to continue to evolve. And the more you learn and the more you experience contrast, you will learn yourself. So, don’t think going in that this is it. That this is the car, or career, or mindset, or whatever you manifest. Because it probably isn’t. And it’s better in my opinion, to go in knowing that, that things aren't set in stone completely, that they probably will change so they don’t feel so rigid and finalized. Life isn’t like that. It’s fluid and always changing.

Now, I am 33, and like I said, I have been practicing intentional manifestation for around 10 years. I find these pieces of advice both profound and fundamental. Many people already know these things, and many do not. I know that, if someone would have told me these things when I was 23, I would have lived in a completely different way, with a completely different mindset. It would have taken years off of my learning the hard way or the long way. I know that path was meant for me, but maybe your path is meant to be different. Maybe you’re supposed to have this information right now in your life and that is why it is pouring out of me so easily.

Take what you’ve learned today and implement it. I promise your life will not be the same.

Until next time.
