What is Manifestation Really? To manifest- What does it mean ? What was the first thing that popped into your mind? Was it ‘to come to be ,to create ,to bring to reality ?’ Close.
The definition is: ‘Like attracts Like. You ARE what you Think. The things you request or pray for will show up clearly and in plain sight’
A while back when I published the article Learning to Flow with the Universal Plan, I received a lot of emails and tweets regarding what manifestation is really. And how could this be simply practiced to bring about abundance in all parts of our life. Today I will share with you a few simple things that I have personally see work when it comes to manifesting the things you truly want in your life.
An infinite number of things are manifested every day. Did you know that? That’s right! Each thought, each vibration, each feeling or belief manifests a response. Be it positive or negative, good or bad.
The most powerful things to understand about manifestation is that what comes to be in your life began with something as simple as a thought, feeling or action by You. Compelling, isn’t it? The awesome person you met, the wonderful new job with full benefits, or the perfect home with all of that garden space and the beautiful view, all began with your thoughts. Did you pat yourself on the back? Go ahead. Please give credit where it is due!
How does one harness this powerful tool to create the things that are wanted, instead of the things that aren’t? The answer is by becoming more in tune with your thoughts, feelings, situations, and actions. The more aware you are of where your thoughts are wandering to, the more control you will have over what is being manifested.
Let me give you a real life example:- Amy, is one of a growing number of work from home moms. It is her responsibility to take care of two children under the age of four each day, while running her successful home bakery.
Is it challenging? Absolutely, but Amy has managed quite nicely by making manifestation work for her. Her sons used to pick the most inappropriate time to make noise, wreak havoc, and well…act like toddlers! But now this rarely occurs because Amy takes the time throughout her day to focus her thoughts on what actions she would like to see occur- quiet play, easy nap-time routines, and uneventful meals, and it works! No longer does she have to hide in the bathroom to take important business calls. She has effectively managed to create the work environment that she needs.
Manifestation requires time, patience, practice and most of all Complete Belief in The Higher Power. It can be difficult to change bad habits and to train yourself to think differently, but so rewarding when the effort is made. So begin manifesting the things that you want by making that mental shift. Start small if you have to, but start today. Focus on what you want, instead of what you don’t have, always keeping your eyes on the goal. Remember to look for and appreciate what is manifesting (going back to the definition the things you request or pray for will show up clearly and in plain sight-Like attracts Like. You ARE what you Think.), you just have to identify them as what you asked for, and Believe…. Also remember to show gratitude as your dreams and desires appear. Remember attraction, the more love and gratitude (positive energy) that is shown, the more positive energy that will flow back to you. With all of this positive imagery and energy, success will abound. So, start using these tips now. You’ll be manifesting a great deal more of what you want. I guarantee that you will be impressed by the fruits of your effort.
What is The simplest and my personal favorite way to manifest wants : Prayer.
Yes, Praying to the Maker of this Beautiful Universe. Focus your positive thoughts and your positive wants towards God! After all, The Universe wont move a spec of sand or a drop of rain without the direction of The Almighty!
Even after all your prayers, and all your positive thoughts, if something does not work out…please have patience and believe that when the time is right it will manifest itself. I have explained it fully from personal experience in Learning to Flow with the Universal Plan. Most of all, do not give up!

Zeenat,
What wonderful post and a pleasure to read. Your post is also very timely from a personal point of view, it has given me a shake up; I’ve been doubting myself recently. I’m now up for the challenge again.
I love your story about Amy and her two children; perhaps these skills should be taught in mother and toddler groups!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Regards
Paul
HI Paul,
Doubts are never a good thing ….they dont allow for fully LIVING life..right!
I’m glad this post has nudged you and you are now up for the challenge 🙂
As for mommy and toddler groups…my God thats an awesome idea! It would make life so much easier..especially when it comes to handling those tantrums 🙂 I have a three year old too, who can pretty much be like Amy’s kids too 🙂
Very nice post. I have found in my own life, things begin to manifest when I come from a very service oriented approach to life. From this service first approach, wonderful highly positive things began manifesting in my life with quicker speeds. I enjoyed this nice read.
HI Baker,
Give and you shall receive ten folds is almost the best way to live! The great part about being service oriented is firstly getting pleasure by helping others and secondly, having all that positive energy back in our lives. Its a win-win all the way!
I am glad you enjoyed this article 🙂 Thank you fro sharing your wonderful thoughts here.
Hi Zeenat,
I really enjoyed reading your post.
Your idea of manifestation sounds very similar to the concept of the law of attraction. According to the law of attraction, one attracts everything one has in life by one’s thoughts and beliefs. Therefore, if you’d like to change your reality/life, you must change your thoughts and beliefs… Expressing gratitude is also a key element of LOA.
However, it sounds like the similarity between the two models ends at that point because manifestation is specifically requiring prayer while the law of attraction requires more of a positive mind focus and an actual belief in the new reality before it is the actual reality (a sort of visualization, if you will).
I think that having the positive attitude/thought/belief can go along way in making your reality be the way you would like it to be, although I’m not sure of it being able to make everything that you would like to have happen really happen.
Best,
Dorlee
HI Dorlee,
Youre right! This is similar tot he law of attraction..cause it is infact part of the law of attraction. The purpose behind writing this article was that many people who dont know..and havent gotten into the law of attraction, can also use this technique to bring about abundance in their lives. Combining the two most powerful ways of manifesting your wants ie. positive thinking and prayer can double the effect and hence make keeping the faith and having ultimate belief easier for everyone.
As for making everything happen the way you want it to happen….that’s the beauty of putting your trust and belief in God and the Universe….you just put your wants and thoughts out there…and trust that the universe will indeed give you exactly what you truly deserve and need. It might not be int he exact shape and form you originally thought…but it will be there. Being open to the possibilities is what manifesting is truly all about.
Plus, if you do have the time..do read “Learning to flow with the Universal Plan”. Its linked within the article above…I’m sure it will clarify a lot of whys for you.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts here.
Much Love~
Hi Zeenat, Wondering if you happened to see the latest new theme from WordPress called ‘Under the Influence’. Lots of white space and many different options! You might like it.
HI Sandra,
Yes, i did check it out and liked it too..and briefly tried to adjust it too..but didnt look all that great! So came back to good ol vigilance 🙂
Thank you for stopping by 🙂
many thanks zeenat… when things push you down and your belief in yourself wavers, such positive flavours put life in a totally new dimension. but tell me zee, is it possible to manifest for people you love…? can it also work as effectively?
i beleive in the powers of thought and am certain i can make it work for me, but wonder if i could help people close to me…
Hi Suzy,
This was a special post…for you isnt it 🙂
This manifestation works for everyone who you feel you have a connection too. It maybe a friend, a colleague, a passerby or yes, your family too. Thats the beauty and miracle of prayer+positive thinking…it always goes to the right place..and works in just the right way. Sometimes you wont see the results you thought you wanted…but it will manifest itself to the person you are praying for. Amazing isnt it!
Hi Z! As always, a spot-on post that is filled with encouragement and love! So many people keeping thinking about what they DON’T want – sure as shootin’ that will bring it to you! Like Amy, in your perfect example, she focused on only (ONLY) what she DID want from her boys. It’s a real awakening to “get this” and this post makes it so much easier! Bless your heart!
Hugs
suZen
HI Suzen,
Our focus is so so important in all we do. And prayer manifestation is no different..the more focused your thoughts and prayers..the better the results. The Universe is intelligent that way 🙂
So glad you liked this post..and thank you for your awesome comment here 🙂
Much Love~
Like several other commenters, this was just the little nudge I needed today. I have been dwelling far too much lately on the negative, focusing on what I lack rather than what I have been abundantly blessed with.
It’s time to stop that! 🙂
Thank you, Z!!!
Many hugs today from Crete. x
HI Carla,
Its time to stop that for sure!! We do all have so many blessings….appreciating them makes us focus more on the positive than the negatives..thereby making life so much more fulfilling.
Glad you liked this Carla 🙂
Much Love and lots of hugs~
Hello,
This is a lovely post, I really enjoyed it and it is always good to have a reminder to have patience, and enjoy the journey rather than focusing on the end result. I have found that this ‘letting go’ of the outcomes, really helps me.
Many thanks,
Kate.
HI Kate,
Learning to let go of the outcomes is such a liberating feeling isn’t it! You just think positive and leave the end result to the God and his Universe!
I am so glad you liked this post…and thank you for sharing you lovely thoughts here.
Much love~
Hi Z.
Oh aren’t we more powerful than we think we are? I am becoming more and more aware of my thoughts and I have been amazed how often they are still going to a sabotaging place rather than a supportive place. Ouch.
I also get to see that the universe is actually very like us, isn’t it? When my daughters are really showing gratitude when I give them something, guess what happens? Next time when I see them I bring something again, because I get the message that they like it and I love to see them happy. Could it all be that simple?
It looks that you too encourage me to keep on thinking that it is that simple.
How wonderful, thanks Z, you are the best, love Wilma
HI Wilma,
Like does attract like…we just need to be more open to it and recognize it. Its so great that you daughters have you to steer them to do positive things 🙂
And truly it is just that simple!
Thank you for your lovely comment dear Wilma 🙂
Much Love~
Zeenat, What a beautiful post and that photo is amazing! When I realized that every word we speak and every thought we think I became very concious of what I spoke and was much more aware of releasing the negative thoughts and focusing on the positive. It does take patience and clarity of thought. I just wrote a post called “Patience” and would love your feedback. Namste, Sherry

HI Sherry,
Its so important to be conscious about what we think and say….it does have a ripple effect! And I am glad you are more aware now….positive positive all the way!
Patience being an important factor in manifesting….its great youve written about it. I will head over to you blog and check it out for sure.
Am so glad you liked this post 🙂
Much Love~
Hi Zeenat,
this post is so beautiful and inspiring! I know that prayer is a big part of my life and I know that I’ve started making room for prayer my life changed. I also somehow manage to do a ton of things while raising two of the most precious girls and I don’t feel run over by a truck at the end of the day (well, most of the time :-)) I have a wonderful family, I live in an amazing place and I have so much to be grateful for…
Being grateful and knowing exactly what you need (or what you are asking for) is so important in life. I think that once you can learn these two simple things your life will turn around and go only in the direction that you want it to go. Manifestation is really powerful and I am so happy that you have shared such a spiritual way of manifesting your dreams.
HI Ana,
Youre so right…just knowing and being grateful can work miracles in your own transformation. And thus you whole life.
It is so nice to read another mom who is so good at getting things done without the drama of it 🙂 Prayer is amazing. I use this with my tiny tot too 🙂 And amazingly she has started praying with me these days….so is getting calmer herself.
Glad you liked this post 🙂
Much Love~
HI Zeenat, another wonderful post and reminder to everyone that our thoughts actually do have substance and are magnets of a sort. I honestly believe like attracts like and that goes for our thoughts as well.
HI Steven,
We often forget how incredibly powerful our own thoughts are….and this just goes to show that yes, we do have the power to make good things happen in our lives. We just need to think positive to see positive changes.
Glad you liked this 🙂

Thank You Zeenat.
Wishing you Peace & Prosperity,

HI Dallas,
Thats a beautiful statement. Being IT is the best decision we can all make for ourselves.
Thank you fro your beautiful wishes! Appreciate it.
Peace and Prosperity to you too 🙂
“Also remember to show gratitude as your dreams and desires appear. Remember attraction, the more love and gratitude (positive energy) that is shown, the more positive energy that will flow back to you. ” – Thank you for this reminder Zeenat. So many times we set the big goal, the big dream, and get frustrated when it doesn’t happen all at once. I thought the example of Amy the mother was great too.
HI Adam,
This is such an imperative reminder to us all, that instead of worrying about why something isnt working out…we should rather focus on what we have and think positive thoughts. The Universe will truly handle the rest. We need to change our thinking.
Amy’s example was just so realistic..that i just had to share it. It proves how simply efficient manifesting what we want truly is.
Glad you liked this 🙂 Thank you fro your beautiful comment here.
Hi Zeenat
Great, great advice here. I think that is what happens to too many, is that they get excited by creating the life of their dreams, but then they quickly lose sight of the process for it does not seem “instant” enough.
But we have to remember, we got to where we are through years of a certain way of thinking and being. This does not mean that it is going to take years to revert it, it just means that we have to be consistent in our approach so we don’t slip back into old ways of thinking that are not serving us.
Great example too about Amy and her way of overcoming what she did not want, to get to what she did want 🙂

Hi Z.
I’m back tracking on your blog. I love everything you write about manifestation. One thing I’d like to add is often times we get stuck on manifesting money and forget prosperity comes in other forms.
I have a daughter that quit teaching school 5 years ago and works for an airlines as a flight attendant. I can fly anywhere this airline flies for free (hubs too!) because we’re her parents!
I just told my husband today I need a travel journal because I can’t keep our trips straight in my mind anymore.
We have two daughters that work in sales for athletic shoes. I’m a runner and the sample size is my size so I get all kinds of shoes for free. Our home is stuffed with shoes and I often give a pair to a friend who has the same size. The last time I gave a pair away I got three new pair in the mail the next week!
We have a vacation home in Northern MI. We happened to find it at the right time at the right price.
I could go on and on but I think I’ve made my point. Once we have our thoughts, mind, heart and actions in line we can keep abundance from us. And yes I agree with Prayer being no.1 for me as well. And it’s always God’s will for me not mine so my prayer is “this or something better God;) Because often times I don’t know what is best for me!
Really very nice article Zeenat. Also, one of the major things that we could do to manifest our desire and goals is gratitude. We should be thankful to God for everything we have day and night. The more we show gratitude, the faster we manifest what we want. Pleasure reading your articles 🙂
“Manifestation requires time, patience, practice and most of all Complete Belief in The Higher Power.”
Yes, without consistent efforts and faith in “almighty” things hardly came out well. Hmm … manifestation is never like one thinks and somethings appear in hand (practicality of life), it looks me a process rather than “a miracle.”
But for general public manifestation looks like a sort of”magic” which makes life easy in a moment. Isn’t it?
