SDEpisode26 - Manifesting & Guided meditation

Manifestation has become one of the most talked-about spiritual practices but what does it really mean?

In this episode, we're looking beyond vision boards and wishful thinking to explore the deeper meaning of manifestation. We discuss how our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and actions work together to shape the lives we're creating, and why manifestation is less about "getting what you want" and more about becoming aligned with who you're meant to be.

Join us as we dive into the energetic side of manifestation, the importance of gratitude and surrender, the role of aligned action, and why trusting the process can be just as powerful as setting the intention. We also explore rapid manifestation, limiting beliefs, and why empaths and highly sensitive people often feel especially connected to this practice.

Whether you're just beginning your manifestation journey or looking to deepen your understanding, this conversation offers practical tools, spiritual insight, and gentle reminders that the life you desire begins within.

 Trust the process. Align with your purpose. Become the person your future is already calling you to be.

Welcome back, fellow yogis, to the Soul Deep Yoga and Healing Podcast. Thanks for coming back. Thanks for tuning in. Next to me, I have my wonderful co-host, Kimmy. And I'm Brittany. So yeah, again, thanks for coming back and listening, guys. This is great. Kimmy, how was your week?

SPEAKER_01 0:27

It's been wonderful. Um, I mean, kind of like business as usual, but the weather's been warm. Oh, yeah. So I've been able to play out in the yard a little bit. I did some yard work this week and that was super nice. Um, aside from, and this is actually my hate for the week, um, aside from all the earwigs this year. Oh, yeah. I I was telling John this morning when he stopped by the studio, I looked like a crackhead on my porch at 12 o'clock last night because I can't stall. And my front porch was covered in earwigs. Absolutely covered. Like at first, I was like, what is that? I thought it was just like some dirt, like an animal had kicked up some dirt onto my porch, and it was just earwigs, tons of them. And so I was just killing them. I was stepping on them, stomping on them. And when I was doing yard work, I just kept finding so many earwigs. And so that's my hate for the week. I don't like bugs and I wish that they would leave my property. So if you have any tips on how to get rid of earwigs naturally, naturally, preferably. Um, let me know, please. I'm struggling and they're making me angry.

SPEAKER_00 1:33

Well, and I don't know if it's like an Idaho thing, but like I feel like everyone is struggling with the earwigs. Like, I'll find them in my bathtub. Yes, hidden in my shoulder curtain. Yes, like you nasty critters of the devil.

SPEAKER_01 1:45

Maybe they be everywhere this year. Those darn things that oh well. Um, but other than that, classes were good. That's um also one of my loves for the week is I have again a full house Thursday, which has been so fun. Um, and there's been a couple of new people joining the studio this week too. So that was really cool.

SPEAKER_00 2:06

Yeah, yep, we had one today, and that was the that was great. Yes, how was your week? Um, my week was was great. Um, Monday, I totally took advantage of this, but I went to the local women's only um Brazilian jujitsu class.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

Uh yes.

SPEAKER_00 2:26

Did you have so much fun? I'll be more serious tomorrow. I was very giggly. I thought I'm I know it's it's so funny because like when I get into student mode, you're different. Oh, I'm a whole different person because I'm a bad student. I am a very bad student. I'm giggly.

SPEAKER_01 2:43

You ask questions, you're curious, you're just gonna fear for it.

SPEAKER_00 2:46

What does it do? Great. Yeah, um, I thought that was super fun. Um, yeah, that was actually really great. Um, as we said earlier, I'm in my female main character era. Yes. So yeah. Now you're in your training phase, you're learning how to fight evil. There's this thing on it keeps falling on my for you page, and maybe there's some followers that have or listeners that have seen it, and maybe you've seen it or I've sent it to you, but it's um it's yoga, but they have a sword, it's sword yoga, and it's a fake sword, and it snaps and it goes and it can like flick, but like when you watch the videos on it, dude, I was like, I was like, oh my gosh, I was like, I need to try this warrior yoga, pretty much, it was super cool. That's fun, yeah. So yeah, that was did that, and then went to golf lessons. What else did I do this week? I cleaned. Um magic moments, yes. Umliver got his first birthday invitation. Um that makes my heart so full. I was so happy. She got on the classifieds and was like looking for me. This mom was like specifically looking for me. I was like, yeah, I guess I've been like, um, she's been trying to catch me at therapy because like, so the little boy is also um autistic as well. And um and they were in preschool together. So but she hasn't been able to catch me at therapy for an invitation. So she found me, and I just asked some things, you know, like um I don't know if this like sounds rude, but like in the past when people have gotten all of her gifts, they haven't really been like usable. And so I just like I'm not even lying. I just donate them. Yeah, because I'm like so I asked her what he was into. What is what is he like to use for like regulation and stemming, and um so I got him a new outfit for school. I got him, oh yeah, because yesterday we went to Leighton. And when after we went to the aerospace museum for the Air Force, we went to Target because you know I had to.

SPEAKER_01 5:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:26

But they have those, we've talked about them, they have those um projecting lights that do like um the Starry Night. The Starry Night or whatever in the Galaxy. I think I got him a galaxy one, he might be able to change it too. Cool, but I got him that and I thought it was so great. This made my whole, oh my gosh, my whole week. And then she was like, and he also really, really loves Doritos, cool rancho nacho cheese. Yum, yeah. And I was like, you know what? Going to Costco this week, picking you up two giant bags, dude, because like probably not the healthiest option, but um, when you have a kid with autism and they don't eat, and the own like you'll take what you'll take what they can get. Yeah, because they just naturally have such a sensitivity to their food, and it's not like they're being naughty or defiant, it's it's literally a sensory thing. Yeah. So it's really hard sometimes to get Oliver to um to eat. Lately, it's been my slices of bread with butter.

SPEAKER_01 6:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:37

I know, but like no nutrients at all. Yeah. And so it just is like a worry, you know.

SPEAKER_01 6:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:46

Um, but yeah, yesterday we went to the aerospace museum. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 6:50

The Hill Air Force Base.

SPEAKER_00 6:52

That was so freaking cool. My favorite part of it was um when I got to go see like all the rescue planes and stuff, the black ones, the Coast Guard, they had the I was it the pres maybe the presidential one wasn't in that area, but that one was there. And then um, but yeah, super cool. And it's free admission. So if you're in the Utah area and you're looking for something free to do, go there. It's pretty cool. Big too.

SPEAKER_01 7:22

Like it would like if you go look at everything, like you'll be there for at least an hour.

SPEAKER_00 7:28

Yeah, it depends like, yeah, like if you take your time. If you take your time, yeah. But it was oh, and they had the old like Warner Brother ones.

SPEAKER_01 7:36

That was that's what I was gonna say. The last time I went there, I just love seeing all the really old planes.

SPEAKER_00 7:40

Oh, the helicopter the rescue helicopters. So cool. Um, when I was little, I always told myself that I was going to join the army. So a little history. I my family has a little bit of like military background. So, like my oh my Opa, like we live right next to uh Lewiston um Fort Lewiston base in Washington State. So I grew up on on base, like it was, and I was I was gonna be an FBI agent, go into the military, and I always watch military movies. Um Michelle Rodriguez, she was my idol growing up. So it was very nostalgia for me to freak like all weekend. I've been thinking about my childhood and like uh just like the parts that I do remember being on bass, and uh yeah, it was just so interesting. And my my 12-year-old junior, he's very like he'll be joining, pretty sure. He just he was like, Oh my gosh, mom, this is so cool. I'm so glad we're doing this. And I'm like, Well, I'm glad you're happy. Oh, that's good. Yeah, so that's kind of been my week. That's how I spent my Saturday. Very nice. I know. I'm adjusting to my Saturday. Last week I didn't do anything and it drove me bananas. I was like, what am I gonna do? With my time. What do I do with my time? I feel like I I felt like I needed to be productive, but I'm really trying to get out of that mindset that like when there's nothing to do, it's okay to be to be productive. It's okay to enjoy to be doing nothing as well. And um growing up with just anybody that raised me, it was if you're not being productive, you're lazy. And so, like, I'm really trying to shift out of that mindset right now. That's it's been it's been a little challenging, but um, yesterday was I felt like I did a good job. We went to the aerospace museum and then went to went to Target and did dinner, and it was just me and the boys because story's an adult child now, and she's off doing early. She doesn't want to do anything with me anymore. So that's alright. Um I have a shout-out actually. Okay, what's your shout-out? To the Air Force people.

SPEAKER_01 10:02

Yeah, there you go.

SPEAKER_00 10:05

Yeah, thank you for flying. Thanks for protecting our skies, man. Yeah, you guys have some pretty cool airplanes, actually. No, they're way cool. There was these ones with spikes on them. Oh, or I don't know what they were. I just should not call them spikes. But they were these long pointy metal things coming out of the front of them. Oh, interesting. Junior said that it was for fuel, and I was like, oh. I was like, How do you know that? Yeah, exactly. I was like, how do you know? Yeah, he's like, Mama, just no. Well, that's cool. Yeah, I don't know if that's true. If somebody wants to tell me, maybe we can ask your dad. Yeah. Um, so yeah, shout out Air Force. You guys are awesome. What you're doing is really dangerous, and you're doing it because you want to serve and protect the people of our country. And I appreciate that. Yeah, we appreciate that. That's a big load to carry, and thank you. Plus, it's 4th of July. Well, not 4th of July, but like it was. It's July. We're still celebrating that sense of freedom, right? Yep.

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:04

Nine o'clock, she gotta go home. Yeah, dude. I'm just getting old and tired. That's all. That's alright. Um, do you have a love or hate? Well, I guess your hate was.

SPEAKER_01 12:15

My hate was the earwigs. Um, my love, it's it happened to me twice this week, once this morning, and then once um Thursday morning, actually. But I love when the song ends right either at the beginning of a meditation or right at the end of a meditation. So Thursday morning it happened where it ended right at the end, and I was like, nah, mistake. And it perfectly ended, and I was like, oh, so satisfying. And then today it was right as you started the meditation. Like it literally was like as you sat down to start speaking, the song ended, and you started speaking. It was beautiful to love when it transitioned smoothly like that.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

It's just nice. You chose a good song to transition into the actual meditation part of today. So that was that was good. You snatched my phone.

SPEAKER_01 12:58

I didn't well, Brittany was on DJ today, so I just like snatched her phone and I was like pressing the buttons.

SPEAKER_00 13:05

That's great. Um, okay, so I have a hate and a love. We'll start with my hate. Oh, I hate. This is a good one. Seeing things out of my peripheral vision, like weird like shapes. Or like if you or like, you know how like so uh for example, I'm just yes, I'll be in here cleaning. I'll be like jumping around. I'll be like, well, did I see something in the corner of my eye?

SPEAKER_02 13:31

I'm like, mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 13:32

So then, like, you know me. Brittany's easy to scare, easy to spook. I locked the fort down. I'm sure you're I locked the doors. I was like, no, we're not messing around today.

SPEAKER_01 13:44

Started lighting up the sage. I scare Britney unintentionally. I'll like announce myself coming in and be like, hey Britt, it's me, Kimmy, and then she'll have her headphones in, and I still just scared the living crap out of her on accident.

SPEAKER_00 13:59

Uh I was cleaning a house on Friday, and um my client's husband, I didn't hear him come in, and I was literally just walking down the hallway, and I've I in my peripheral I had seen someone there, but I thought it was my helper who helps me clean, and I freaking look up, it's her husband. I practically yell, make him jump. And I was like, Oh, sorry. I was like, I didn't see you. You freaked me out. I didn't see it. You really scared me.

unknown 14:31

I didn't know.

SPEAKER_00 14:32

Well he's also he's scared me, he's made me scream, he's like, he's like, I'm so sorry, Britt. And I was like, it's okay, it's okay, it's really fine. But yeah, I'm uh I guess John got me this morning.

SPEAKER_01 14:46

That was so okay. That can be another one of my loves. It was honestly so funny because I was standing up where like we teach, and so I'm looking towards the back, and Britney's next to all of the equipment, and I just see John's silhouette come up to the window and start scratching the window, but Brittany can't see the window that I was seeing, so she just hears the scratching, and she's looking at the door, just terrifying, and I'm like, it's John.

SPEAKER_00 15:07

It's John. So thank you for his Sunday morning visit. Sunday morning, hello. Love it. Okay, that's my hate. And my love is I love waking up Sunday morning, checking the class and seeing how many people sign up, and it's 11 people already, and it's like four in the morning.

SPEAKER_01 15:29

It's like four in the morning, eleven people.

SPEAKER_00 15:31

Oh, yeah, you love that. Yes, score.

SPEAKER_01 15:35

Love when that happens.

SPEAKER_00 15:37

Love it. Classes are thriving. Woo-hoo. Alright, so Kimmy, you ready or guess that smell?

SPEAKER_01 15:49

Yeah, let's do guess that smell. Okay, let's do it. I hope I do better than last time. Do you want to go first or do you want me to go first? I'll close my eyes, what you got for me. Okay. Alright. Well, I can't tell you, but just tell me when it's there. Okay, ready? Sniff. Eucalyptus. No. Peppermint. No. Hold on. Sorry.

SPEAKER_00 16:19

I'm ready for it. Surprisingly, it is not a menthol flavor. But it smells menthol.

SPEAKER_01 16:27

It's a single blend. It's a single one, is it?

SPEAKER_00 16:30

Single blend. You're probably not gonna get this.

SPEAKER_01 16:33

Hold on. What is that?

SPEAKER_00 16:43

Rosemary. Oh! Are you kidding? Right? The second I know that. I know, but it does smell like eucalyptus though, huh?

SPEAKER_01 16:52

No, now that you say that, of course it's rosemary. But yeah, for a minute there, I was thinking it was poly.

SPEAKER_00 16:59

Wonder why rosemary in oil form smells that way. Do you think it smells like that in plant form? Because I don't. I mean, yes, a little bit, but to an extent, don't put it up your nose.

SPEAKER_01 17:09

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:10

Oh gosh. That's so funny. Brittany puts rosemary up her nose. Snortin' rosemary oil. Sunday.

SPEAKER_01 17:18

Okay. Alright. Okay, so mine's a blend. You're oh boy. I'm giving you a blend because you gave me a blend last time. Okay. Sowey. Alright, I'm gonna put it. I'm gonna put it there. You ready? Take a snack.

SPEAKER_00 17:37

Oh. I smell adaptive. No. I smell frankincense.

SPEAKER_01 17:46

Oh, it's a blend? It's a blend. Like an actual blend? Yeah, it's a blend of something. So think of the blends that we have. It's not citrus bliss or blue. No, there is a little bit of citrus in there though. So is this the sunshine? Nope. Cheer. Nope. You're not on the right hat.

SPEAKER_00 18:09

Gosh dang it. I smell something earthy in there.

SPEAKER_01 18:18

Think of the blends that we use to apply to people.

SPEAKER_00 18:21

Oh, those blends. Okay, so I smell patchouli. No. Okay, what is it?

SPEAKER_01 18:29

It's a rama touch. Really? I know, dude. I don't know why this is so hard.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

I thought a rumatouch is that a peppermint in there?

SPEAKER_01 18:42

There is peppermint in there, yes. And grapefruit, what else is in there? There's definitely something grounding in there for sure. So it's got cypress, peppermint, marjoram, basil, grapefruit, and lavender. Wow, we failed today. Those are hard though.

SPEAKER_00 19:09

Guess that smell. Guess that smell.

SPEAKER_01 19:12

Cute. Anywho. Alright, should we do poll of the day? Yes. Start getting into the good stuff. Alright. So pulling from the comfy, cozy witch Oracle Jet from um, or the deck, excuse me, from Jenny Blonde. We pulled the delight card. And on this card, there's two rabbits that look like they're playing. And um, the key words associated with this card is happiness and believe. So with this reading, it comes with a mantra, a message, and a prompt. The mantra is I find delight and joy in my life and spiritual practice. Message. The light spins and turns and dances in the moments that make your heart sing and when you're feeling your most authentic, magical self. The light is that unfiltered joy that comes up when you allow yourself to be fully present in the moment and open to the wonders and joys of life. This card is an invitation to seek out those simple pleasures and bring you happiness. The hummingbirds at the feeder, the early morning breeze in your hair, and the moments of stillness. It also reminds you to embrace the childlike wonder within you and let spirit and your practice guide you. It's time you believe in your power and in the reality of magic. Your prompt. In what areas of my life do I find delight? And how can I better savor the little things?

SPEAKER_00 20:43

I love that. That's a good one. I don't know if we've ever, I know I haven't pulled that harder read it yet. So that's that's super fun.

SPEAKER_01 20:53

Find the delight in your life, you guys.

SPEAKER_00 20:55

This is your sign. Alright. Shall we move into our Dharma talk of the week? Let's get into the Dharma talk. Alright. So today we are going to be talking about manifestation. Um, what is manifestation? Manifestation is the practice of intentionally focusing your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and actions towards creating or attracting something you desire in your life. At its core, manifestation is about becoming an active participant in your life rather than simply reacting to circumstances, bringing up internally what do I truly desire? What do I believe I deserve? And how can I align my thoughts, emotions, and actions with that vision? Manifestation is the art of bringing our inner world into our outer reality. It begins with a thought, is strengthened by belief, fueled by emotion, and supported by aligned. Action. It's the co-creation between intention, energy, belief, and action.

SPEAKER_01 22:07

Yeah, which I'm glad that you gave that definition of it because I feel like a lot of time, especially like nowadays, people are like, ooh, the woo-woo, the manifestation, you're just making wishes, and I think manifestation is real and it's a mindset. And it's not, it's not just wishing that something, it's getting into that mindset and then taking action to go along and to support that mindset. And then things start to happen.

SPEAKER_00 22:29

I'm actually glad that you're talking about the mindset because we're actually gonna be talking about that a little bit further down in the lesson because it was 100% like you're so right. Um, so why do people practice manifestation? Um, most people are practicing manifestation because they want to create positive change in their lives. Uh, they want to feel empowered instead of helpless, gain clarity about what they truly want, heal limiting beliefs and old patterns, build a deeper connection with themselves and the universe and whatever else your belief system is, and to live more intentionally. So, our mindset matters when it comes to manifesting. Manifesting is a positive tool to help us shape and shift old thought patterns. Because you do have to align your energy with that wavelength of what your manifestation is gonna be. Okay, so um the energetic reason behind manifestation. Many spiritual traditions teach that everything is energy, including our thoughts, emotions, words, and actions. When we consistently think and feel in certain ways, we tend to attract experiences that mirror those internal states. So, for example, living in fear often causes us to notice more reasons to be afraid. Living in gratitude helps us notice abundance and opportunities. Believing we are unworthy may cause us to unconsciously reject opportunities or relationships that are healthy for us. Energetically, manifestation is all about alignment. It's aligning your thoughts to match your desires. Your beliefs need to support those desires, your emotions will reflect trust rather than fear, and your actions need to make you move forward to what you really want. And when these things align, we start to become more receptive to opportunities, to guidance, to synchronizing and um having meaningful connections.

SPEAKER_01 24:40

Yes, absolutely. It's it's really so impactful when we think about our mindset, like because when we're just focusing on all that negative stuff, that's all we see. We see how cruel and harsh the world is and how scary it can be. But when you switch it to think about all the good and beautiful things, you just start to notice those things more. So it really is important that you you bring the mindset into the manifestation.

SPEAKER_00 25:08

Yeah, because you don't want to attract something that's negative, yeah. And so, but if you're always in that negative mindset, if you're always in the well, I gotta do this to pay this bill, like you're always gonna be in that cycle where you're always fighting to pay your bills, like you have to be in a positive mindset, even if like the struggle, like if you're struggling and it just seems unbearable, just finding simple things to be grateful for really, really, really, really can help shift.

SPEAKER_02 25:38

To raise that vibration, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:41

Um, all right. So, how do we manifest? So, the first thing that you're gonna do is you're gonna get clear. You cannot intentionally move towards something if you do if you don't know what it is. Ask yourself, what do I truly want? Why do I want it? How would it feel to have it? The more specific you are, the easier it becomes to align with it. Number two, visualize. Spend a few moments each day imagining your desire as if it already exists. What do you see? What do you hear? What emotions arise, and how does your body feel in that image? Um, the goal here is connection. Number three, you're going to feel the emotion. Emotion is often considered the fuel of manifestation. If you desire peace, practice peace now. If you desire love, cultivate love now. If you desire abundance, practice gratitude for what already exists.

SPEAKER_01 26:48

Yes, okay. So you ever heard of like attracts light? Yes. Um, yeah, absolutely. We need to be willing. Like another one to add on to that list is like if you're feeling poor, donate to somebody.

SPEAKER_00 27:02

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 27:03

Like if you're feeling like you don't have enough time, go dedicate your time to someone else. Like it, it really is like whatever you feel like you're lacking, you need to bring that into your life. Like you feel like you're missing the time, it's like prioritize it then. Yeah, bring it in in whatever form you can, and then yeah, things start to domino from there.

SPEAKER_00 27:24

Number four, we're gonna challenge those limiting beliefs, guys. Again, ask yourself do I truly believe this is possible? Do I believe I deserve this? What old stories am I carrying? Many times healing is part of manifestation because old wounds can block us from receiving. Number five, take aligned action. Manifestation is not passive. We still have to show up. Um, so for examples, taking action, apply for the job, start that business you've been thinking about, have the conversation that needs to be had with anybody in your life, attend the class, the workshop. Um maybe you want to sign up for college, maybe you need to set a boundary, and maybe it's just taking the first small step in that direction. Manifestation oft us meet often meets us when we are in motion and when we are taking action.

SPEAKER_01 28:23

Not before. Like you gotta you gotta bring that action into it. There's that quote from Rumi that says, um, the path doesn't appear before you walk, you it appears as you take your first step or something like that. Like you're pretty much creating it. But yeah, you the the path comes after you start that journey. It doesn't come beforehand. You just gotta start.

SPEAKER_00 28:45

Yes. The last thing is you're gonna practice surrender. Probably one of the hardest things that you're ever gonna practice in your life. Letting go after setting intentions and taking action, release the need to control exactly how or when things will unfold. Trust that what is meant for you will arrive in that right timing. Um, this is when we turn it over to the universe and trust that they're gonna take care of it. And again, it'll if it's the right time, it will totally come. All right, so moving on to this next little part, you're probably like, well, how do I stay in that manifestation mindset? Um, so you're gonna begin each day with intention. Ask yourself, how do I want to feel today?

SPEAKER_01 29:41

How do I want to show up in the world today?

SPEAKER_00 29:44

Yeah, like how do you wanna how do you wanna be today? What what what is it? Um practice gratitude daily. Um, gratitude shifts our focus from lack to abundance. Um, try listing three things each day that you appreciate. And they don't have to be big, they can be so small, like baby steps here, guys. We don't be like, I'm thankful for my real estate and all the things that I have, or you know, it's just yeah, it's do you remember?

SPEAKER_01 30:15

So one of my meditation books started out as a gratitude journal, and we talked about gratitude one time, and I I went back and I shared with class some of the things that I had written in my gratitude journal. And one of the things that I had written was I was grateful for Stokes' Fiesta Ranch dip. Oh, so good. So good. Yeah, so simple. I'm grateful that my car started that day. Like I'm grateful I had warm water, I'm grateful that uh big J exists. Take a shower, yeah. Like just small things, you know. We we live in a world of abundance, and there's there's so much to be grateful for if we just take the time to look for it.

SPEAKER_02 30:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:55

Um, the next thing to stay in that mindset is you can protect your energy, limit things that are constant negative. Um limit doom scrolling. Listen, I know that one's a hard one because I want to be doom scrolling in my bed all the time.

SPEAKER_01 31:16

Yeah, let's be real. It's yeah, it's nice sometimes.

SPEAKER_00 31:19

Yeah, it really truly is. Um, and you're gonna limit people who consistently drain your energy and your spirit. So, like if you're around someone and you leave and you're like, gosh, why am I always tired when I'm when I leave this person? It's that person is sucking your energy.

SPEAKER_01 31:36

Yeah, it's that to combine those two. It's also like so if you are gonna be on social media and doom scrolling, it's like be mindful of who you're following because I unfollowed a lot of people because it's like, oh, I didn't know you were like that. And it's like unfollow, yeah, you know, or it's like you know, just be mindful of what you're consuming, like everything has energy, the clothes we wear, the music we listen to, the books we read, the TV shows that we watch, everything has an energy to it. But is it uplifting or is it something that's making you feel bad?

SPEAKER_00 32:07

Yep, let's stick to the ones that make us feel good, absolutely, and it's hard because like we're in 2026, like our world is so different from when I grew up. Like, even you probably have some oh yeah, little like internet, just barely being a thing when I was a little girl.

SPEAKER_01 32:26

Yeah, I had just like unrestricted full access to the internet when I was like eight years old.

SPEAKER_00 32:32

No one knew things have changed now for sure. Um, okay, something else you can do is speak kindly to yourself. Um, your inner dialogue really, really, truly matters here. Um, you're gonna replace things with like um nothing ever works out for me. Replace that with I'm open to new possibilities, or I'm aligning my energy with said thing, or completely reverse it.

SPEAKER_01 33:03

Just everything works out for me. Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 33:06

Like I'm aligned with this abundance energy, or um, yeah, it's I love manifesting. We manifested the studio, we did manifest the studio. Um, and we can talk about that in our rapid manifesting section because I feel like that's exactly what happened. Um, you're gonna celebrate those small wins. Every step is evidence that growth is happening. So again, even if it's small, celebrate it. You that little small thing that you completed or manifested or whatever the case may be, like you did that. Celebrate it. And the final thing that you can do to stay in that manifestation mindset is um you're gonna stay in the present moment. Manifestation happens in the present moment, not in replaying the past or worrying about the future. So essentially, you're giving it over, you're giving it over to the universe, you're taking action from there, and you're manifesting. Um, I don't know if we've ever mentioned it on the podcast in previous episodes. Maybe when we talked about like impacts and stuff. I know our students, our physical in-person students, have kind of heard us talk about like rapid manifesting. Um, so rapid manifesting um refers to experiences where intentions seem to materialize quickly. Um, many people notice this happens when they are deeply aligned with their desires. There is little resistance or doubt, they trust rather than obsess. Their emotions, beliefs, and actions are in harmony, and they are highly present and aware. Um, typically, rapid manifesting tends to occur um when people set an intention, take action, trust, and let go. So they go completely through the whole steps and they literally are just turning it over.

SPEAKER_01 35:04

Yep. With no intention, they they figure out the intention, they put it out there, and you let go.

SPEAKER_00 35:10

Yeah, and you don't dwell on it and you trust, yeah, and that's hard. Um, so typically um rapid manifestors are um happen a lot with like empaths or highly sensitive people. Um, they tend to feel more deeply connected to manifestation and the practice. Most empaths and highly sensitive people are, like I said, rapid manifestors, and those who practice it will feel that deep connection. Um, the reason for this is because you have the ability to notice the subtle shifts in energy and emotion. You have very strong intuition, you have a deep connection to your inner world, you pick up on the emotions and environments around you and experience vivid imagination and visualization. Um, and if you don't know what an empath or highly sensitive person is, we have an actual whole episode dedicated on it. So if you're interested, go back, listen to it. Um I I'm an empath. I would think Kimmy is a highly sensitive person. Yeah. And um, yeah, we we we manifested the studio. We did some crystal grids.

SPEAKER_01 36:27

We did some rapid manifestation for sure. But also, um, I mean, talking about the like the steps for rapid manifestation, we really did just kind of like let it go. Like we really did do the trust. Like we, I mean, we had talked about it prior. We were in the space that we were in, and we're like, oh, there's gotta be something better out there, you know. And it's like I wish like there was something would open up for me, you know, and then we're like, well, let's make a goal for you know, 20, I don't know what year this was anymore, but I was like, 2024, let's have I want to open a studio in 2024, 2025. And it was like a year in advance, and I was like, any year, like I'd like to do that. And then it happened the next week.

SPEAKER_00 37:07

Yeah, literally, because it was like we were at the gym on a Thursday or Friday. It was a Friday, it was Thursday. So we're listening to T T. Yep. Yep, and um you called me Saturday or Sunday. I had yeah, because we were having issues at the older location, and I couldn't look the heater was still. The steel wasn't working, the power was out. It was yeah, that was uh interesting, and um I made some phone calls and boom, I think within and then all of a sudden we had a studio.

SPEAKER_01 37:31

You were like, Well, we have a space. And I was like, No way.

SPEAKER_00 37:35

I know, right? And we were scared a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 37:39

We had no idea, but but we had been talking about it. We were already taking action, we were doing our classes just as if we had a studio anyway, and like we were in that mindset where we're taking action, we were doing what we would do if we opened a studio anyway. Um, and then we set a goal for ourselves, like a a year, you know, but then I I I let that go. I was like, Yeah, in a year I'd like to do that. And then it just happened overnight.

SPEAKER_00 38:02

I know practically because we also started. I noticed that when we started doing like our because we started doing some of our events before we even opened up the studio. Did we do a full four? Did we do a full year before? Yeah, every single time, Kimmy, we did a we did a crystal grid, and we always put the stud we even we had the name even picked out because I remember showing up to a Tuesday night class, maybe, and I was like, Kimmy, if we opened up a studio, I know what we should call it. Yeah, and you were like, Okay, what? And I was like, so deep. And he was like, I love that. I love that. Yeah, so like we were we were always, always taking action, always being in that mindset of being business owners and running a studio, and then it happened, and yeah, here we are, and it's been so fun.

SPEAKER_01 38:52

So, yeah, manifestation is real, take it from us. Um, I'm so grateful that we have this space. Like, I like we've this is the season of abundance, you know, and I've just been I've been living in it, like I've just been so aware of all of the abundance in my life, like our little store of all of our crystals and all of our yoga students. Like, I was looking online the other day and to see how many people we have over 150 people that have come through the studio just online. That's not even counting the people that have dropped in or anything, but it's just we yeah, I'm so grateful we live in a very abundant community right now, too.

SPEAKER_00 39:26

So and we're we're headed in more directions, we're getting out there, yeah. So hopefully some online classes and some new things coming up. So um, have you ever manifested like outside of the studio and like have had it had it work out like come true or oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:50

I mean I feel like now I feel like I'm pulling a blank, but oh yeah. There's been let me think about it. Come back, come back to me. I feel like I'm put on the spot, but like, yes, obviously, like there's been so many.

SPEAKER_00 40:02

I should have warned you.

SPEAKER_01 40:02

Now you're okay.

SPEAKER_00 40:03

But I yeah, it's just interesting because like I even started with like a manifestation um journal, and I would just write things that I would want into my life, and then I would just close my eyes and I'd be like, my husband probably thought I was so weird to be sitting in the other room. Um, okay, so let's go ahead and just move into our um note-card activity for today.

SPEAKER_01 40:28

Okay, all right, everybody. So if you have a journaling practice or anything that you um would like to write with, um feel free to grab that out. Um and when you're ready, we'll go ahead and write down a couple of things. So when you're ready, you're gonna write in, you're gonna finish the sentence. I'm inviting in and then write down three things that you wish to manifest over the summer. So maybe you want to invite in peace or confidence or the abundance that we've been talking about. Um, maybe you have a specific goal that you're working towards, or maybe just a single word in general that would work for you. So you are inviting in, fill in the sentence. And then after you write down what you would like to invite in, you're going to write what or how you would like to manifest that over the summer. So think about the steps that we've talked about today. How can you use these tools? Can you be mindful? Can you set that intention? Can you live in that intention? And can you take some mindful steps to work towards that goal? Take your time, write it down, think it out, and this can be your intention that you can carry with you throughout the summer. And then place it somewhere that it can be a reminder. You can place it in your mirror, in the dash of your car, anywhere that you're gonna see it.

SPEAKER_00 42:03

And don't forget to date it.

SPEAKER_01 42:05

Yep, date your card so you can look back and that's my favorite. Yeah, because we've done that where we look back and see what has already come true for us. And it's just so fun. So, yeah, date your card, write it down, take your time, and when you're ready to come back, we'll start a meditation.

SPEAKER_00 43:01

Go ahead and get in a nice seated position, or maybe if you want to lay down for today's meditation. Once you get situated, just go ahead and close your eyes. Take a slow deep breath in through the nose. And gently exhale through your mouth. Again, breathe in, possibility, and breathe out anything that feels heavy here. One more full breath. Inhaling peace. And exhaling control. Steady support beneath you. Notice how it asks nothing of you except to simply be. And just allow yourself to receive that support. Bring your awareness to your heart center. Imagine a warm golden light glowing in the center of your chest. With every inhale, this light grows brighter. And with every exhale, it expands throughout your entire body, filling every space with warmth, peace, and possibility. Now imagine yourself one year from today. See the version of yourself who has continued to grow. The version of you who has trusted the journey. The version of you who has shown up even on the hard days. Notice how they stand. Notice the peace they carry. Notice the confidence in their smile. They are not perfect, but they are simply aligned. Allow whatever comes to you a word, an image, a feeling, or simply silence. Now begin to picture one intention you are calling into your life. Maybe it is healing, maybe it's abundance, maybe it's love or courage and peace. Hold that intention gently in your heart. See it as a tiny seed resting in rich soil. With every inhale, start to imagine that seed being watered with hope. And with every exhale, allow it to grow stronger. See roots reaching deep into the earth, anchoring your intention with stability and trust. Now imagine the seed breaking through the surface, reaching toward the light. You don't force it to grow. You simply nourish it with your attention, your actions, your patience, and your faith. Now repeat silently after me. I trust the timing of my life. I am open to receiving what is meant for me. I release fear and choose faith. I am worthy of my dreams. My thoughts, my actions, and my heart are aligned. I am creating a life rooted in purpose, joy, and peace. Take one more look at the life you're creating. Notice not only what you have, but who you have become along the way. Let yourself feel gratitude for that version of you, knowing every small step you take today is helping you become them. Take a slow breath in, filling your heart with gratitude. Exhal with complete trust. Manifestation isn't about forcing life to happen your way. It's about aligning your values, taking meaningful action, and remaining open to what unfolds. What is meant for you will arrive in its own perfect timing. Begin to deepen your breath. Gently invite some movement back into your body. Maybe you need to wiggle your fingers. And start to bring your hands to heart center, carrying this feeling of trust, openness, and intention with you as you move into the rest of your day or week. May you leave here today feeling and believing in your own light, trusting your own path, and remembering that the seeds you nurture with love and intention have the potential to grow into something beautiful. Thank you so much for joining us today, Namaste.
