Manifestation: Embracing Your Inner Creatrix ✨
Creatrix (noun): A feminine creator. One deeply connected to the feminine source of creative power.
Have you ever believed something was meant for you so strongly (good or bad) that it became your reality? What you experienced was the Law of Attraction at work - and this universal law is the foundation of the art of manifestation. Most people’s experience with the law of attraction is limited to negative occurrences and shrugged off as “bad luck”, but when we are mindful and conscious of the energy we are emitting, we can create our own abundance.
My first run in with purposely manifesting something beautiful into my life was in 2019, right after my son’s 1st birthday. I was just emerging from a serious dark night of the soul triggered by PPA (postpartum anxiety) and a complete restructure of my life. I had quit my full time job to be a full time mom, stripped myself of my entire identity, dove into the stay at home mom life in a completely ungrounded manor, and I was so lost. I had stumbled across the idea of manifestation somewhere in the depths of metaphysical YouTube, and to be completely honest, I thought it was utter bullshit.
At the time I was tossing around the idea of becoming a birth doula, but we had no money for me to attend a training workshop. We were living paycheck to paycheck and seriously having to cut corners in order to make ends meet. Knowing that I had literally nothing to lose, I decided to give manifestation a try. Every night I sat down at my kitchen table with a journal, candles, a moon chart, crystals and a tarot deck and started creating my own abundance.
On 8/1/19, the new moon in Leo, I scripted: I have more than enough money to complete all aspects of my doula certification and this money comes to me easily. Precisely, $1,200. To my surprise... 2 weeks later on the Aquarius full moon.... I noted in my journal that I did it. $1,200 to the dollar. All coming to me organically and seemingly out of nowhere. When I say out of nowhere, I mean, 2 weeks prior I had to take $200 out of savings just to pay for mortgage. In 14 days, $1000 worth of savings bonds from my childhood that I had forgotten I even had reached full maturity and were ready for redemption. Several friends graciously gifted me with money telling me how much they believed in me. We received an unexpected $150 refund check in the mail from our insurance.
Blown away by the divine manor in which the universe provided, my life was changed. Forever. Since that day, I have manifested many things. A prosperous astrology career, a complete DOUBLE in our annual income, healing, friendship - I saved my own life. I did it by changing my mindset, by believing that I already had everything that I could ever want. I believed that I was abundant, AND SO I WAS. I poured all of my energy into improving myself and I was met with so many blessings.
I BECAME THE CREATRIX.
And now I want to help you do it too ✨
Here are my best tips for manifesting the life you have always deserved:
1. USE THE LUNAR CYCLE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
New Moons hold serious manifesting energy, while Full Moons are great for gratitude and release to make room for your blessings to materialize. Keeping track of the the phase and sign of the moon can really help you use that energy to your advantage during the lunar cycle. Fire sign moons are great for acting and creating. Water Sign moons are great for emoting and feeling. Air Sign moons are great for speaking and visualizing. Earth Sign moons are great for grounding and connecting with nature. I offer an amazing Cyclical Living and Manifestation coaching service if you really want to get in deep on how to synchronize your abundance with the natural cycles.
2. INVEST IN A JOURNAL AND COLORED PEN SET
Scripting is one of my personal favorite ways to manifest (hello👋🏻, 3rd house sun/mercury conjunction here!). You can buy literally any journal that calls to you, but my personal favorite is my velvet ritual journal from Earthtonix. She makes them with love and intention, and I appreciate how the pages aren’t lined so I can draw, write, paint and use my own creative expression in my practice. When scripting, I use color theory to help me focus on a certain intention - green for abundance, red for release, purple for gratitude. It’s also important to note that when you manifest through scripting you should always be writing as if you already have what you are asking for. Instead of saying “I want a new job” say “I have an incredible new job that I love! I make $100k a year and I still get to spend so much time with my family”. It will feel a little weird at first, but it really helps you get into the mindset of what you are trying to create because you have to believe that it is already yours in order to seal the deal.
3. VISUALIZE WHAT THIS NEW REALITY LOOKS LIKE
Use your 5 senses! Close your eyes and see your future play out like a movie. What does it look like? Feel like? Sound like? Smell like? Taste like? Really get into the plot line and experience abundance from a deep and authentic place. How did it come to you? How did you celebrate? How did you feel when your dreams come true? The details are the most important part, so take the extra time to experience the abundance you are creating.
4. BE CONSISTENT
Manifestation takes time and persistence. Everything good in life does. So, be patient with yourself and don’t lose hope. You have to remember that everyone is born abundant, we just tend to self sabotage ourselves with negative self talk and imposter complex. When you think/say/believe “I’ll never be rich. I’ll never be happy. Life sucks. I’ll be stuck in this spot forever. Nothing ever works out for me.” YOU ARE REINFORCING THAT LIFE FOR YOURSELF. We all do it (even me), and it takes a long time and a lot of hard work to undo those negative manifestations. Say those positive affirmations, and turn those intrusive negative thoughts into positive ones. You will get there!
5. REMEMBER THAT CALLING IN ABUNDANCE ALSO MEANS HAVING TO LET GO OF THINGS THAT AREN’T MEANT FOR YOU
This was the hardest part for me to accept - in order to have that life that you want, sometimes it means you will have to release old ideas, belief systems, jobs and people that don’t align with where you are heading. Release is an essential part of manifestation. Sometimes the things that appear most difficult are pushing you towards that abundant future. Losing that job you hate opens the door for you to jump into creating sustainable income from your passions. Losing those relationships help you call in your soul family that nurture your growth. Falling out with your toxic family helps you finally heal your trauma so you can find happiness within yourself. Those major tower moments lead us closer to the star. It’s not tragedy - IT’S REBIRTH.
