The Top Four Reasons Your Manifestation Isn’t Here Yet
You’re frustrated, searching for answers as to why your manifestation hasn’t made its way into the physical yet.
I get it. Why? Because I’ve been there.
Trust me, I too have been desperate for my manifestation to show up, and when the date came around that I asked for it to come in and it still hadn’t appeared, I’ve definitely argued with God.
Something along the lines of, “I’M DOING IT ALL, ALL THE MANIFESTATION TECHNIQUES WHY HAVEN’T YOU GIVEN IT TO MEEEEE?!?!?!” Sometimes there have been tears involved, I’ll be honest.
I’m telling you this because I want you to understand that this feeling is totally normal, especially if your LOA journey is closer to it’s beginning. I know that it really sucks when you ask for something, and don’t receive it.
It can be very discouraging, and turn your brain sour to the idea of the Law of Attraction. Which just results in more things happening that you don’t want, then more sour, etc etc.
In fact, it’s happened to me so much, I’ve figured out the top four reasons why this happens based on my own experience and the experience of my friends and clients.
I need (and want) to share them with you now so that when this happens to you, all you need to do is refer to this list and choose the one that’s most applicable to you, and follow some recommendations of how to switch out of that and into a better space for your manifestation to come through.
Please remember that your manifestation is meant for you, and if you desire it (especially at a core level), it’s meant to be yours. It is impossible for your brain to think up a goal or desire that wouldn’t be accomplishable for you, and you are more than worthy of receiving it just as you are right now.
However, there are a few things that can get in the way of it coming into your reality now.
Let’s get into those now, in no particular order:
#1. You’re focusing too much on detail.
This is a big one, and one that I find I am explaining to my clients (and myself) over and over again.
The truth here is that if you’ve already asked for the specifics of your manifestation (date, $$ amount, ideal partner), God-Source heard you, and you don’t need to repeat yourself.
And by repeating your manifestation in its exactitude over and over again, with your 3×33 lists, vision board, subliminals, etc., you naturally end up focusing on the fact that your manifestation isn’t here yet.
How many times have you tried to manifest $100, and wrote down a check from the universe and then just kept focusing on the fact that it wasn’t in your wallet or nobody gave it to you yet?
Focusing on the detail often leads to too much focus on that it’s not there yet.
Ok so here’s an example about manifesting money:
If you’re trying to manifest a certain amount of money by a certain date… Write it down ONCE, or set your intention ONCE (Goddess hears you), and then get out of the way and focus on how you want the money to make you FEEL.
To me, money feels like security, safety, and freedom. So, instead of focusing on a $$ amount, I will focus on things that make me feel how I want money to make me feel.
Security = Spending time with my family and loved ones.
Safety = Connecting with nature and Mother Earth.
Freedom = Dancing and going out ’n about.
So, the more I lean into those feelings, the more money flows because money flows down that same “pipe” of security, safety, and freedom. It just shows up because it’s a TOOL of those feelings.
It’s the same with love, a job, anything. FEEL the GENERAL FEELING of what it is you want, and watch the specific thing show up. In a way you didn’t plan for.
#2. You’re taking too much action.
Yep, you could just be doing too much. This is similar to the first point, but this one is a delicate dance.
Think for a minute that you are trying to manifest a new job. You do your journal exercise, you write down that you have the job already, then you apply everywhere and talk to everyone, handing your resume to everyone you can think of. You’ve been doing this and taking action for days to do your part of the work, and still no job.
My advice to you is to try stopping. Chances are that by taking all of this action, you are “plugging” the pathways that Goddess-Source has made for you and instead trying to make your own pathway.
You do not need to make your own pathway, because Goddess-Source and Infinite Intelligence (Sophia) already have the path for you, your job is just to relax into knowing that and follow your intuition.
The key here is that: Intuition. You have intuition, just like everybody else. This is your Higher Self, God-Source, Infinite Intelligence, whatever you want to call it, telling you your very next step.
Einstein knows what’s up.
Trust this, and trust that it’s okay to just have your next step be for today.
If I’ve learned anything about trusting this tool of intuition, it’s that the steps are revealed to you PER STEP, not by handing you some grand map to follow. It will show up as a gentle nudge to go to a certain coffee shop, where you run into an old boss, who has a connection for you to contact about the job you’re after.
That’s the kind of action you need to be taking if you’re ready to live according to the Law of Attraction and the universal laws: INSPIRED ACTION.
Declare and intend what it is that you desire, and then get out of the way and wait for a gentle push in a certain direction. Don’t worry if this will come or not, it will, you just need to be quiet enough to hear it and brave enough to follow it.
As my favourite LOA guru Florence Scovel Shinn says, always follow a hunch!
#3. You need to do clearing work.
Ah, probably the most neglected step of all. Sometimes, and probably more often than not, your manifestation isn’t coming through because you have beliefs and stories you have been telling yourself about this manifestation and that you don’t deserve it or aren’t worthy of it on some level.
This comes up for most people as the feeling of unworthiness to receive — I’ve literally seen people (and have done myself) decide to clear this from their energy field and body, and physically vomit. To me, this is excellent because you are “vomiting” up unworthiness from your physical AND spiritual bodies at the same time.
In order to clear anything that you’re holding onto that’s standing in the way of you and your manifestation, you need to be 100% honest with yourself.
Here’s my favourite exercise (also found in my post: The Ugly Work) for clearing:
I want you find a pen and a piece of paper, or get ready to type from your phone or computer. Please take a deep breath in, deep into your belly, hold it for five seconds, and let to go for five seconds. Do this at least once, but for me it usually feels best to do this about three times.
Now take a look at these prompts (these are common blockages):
– I’m not worthy of love
– People don’t hear me
– I’m not good enough
– I don’t deserve to feel comfortable
– I’m unsafe
– I don’t deserve to be supported financially
– I have to be the best, all of the time
– I have to make sure everyone else is taken care of before me
– I’m jealous of people who appear to have more than me
– When I don’t do something perfect, I am ashamed
– I’m insecure in who I am, I do not like to be seen
– I’m impatient
– There is not enough money or resources for me to be comfortable
– I’d rather make myself smaller so that I’m not an inconvenience to others
– I’m physically ugly and nobody will love me
– I’m a burden to other
– I’m unsupported and alone
– I feel like I’m not smart enough
– I’m an imposter
– Nobody cares about how I feel
Read through them all, and choose a few that stand out to you. Of course, these are examples, and if something else is coming up for you that I didn’t write, feel free to jot it down or keep it in mind.
Now, keeping an open mind, I want you to picture yourself in your minds eye as a child. What are you wearing, what does your hair look like, how tall are you? Does this child feel scared or alone or unloved?
Then write down what you would say to comfort this child, based on the prompts that stood out most to you or that you created yourself and reword them appropriately.
It can look something like this (Mom/Dad if you’re reading this, it’s just an example!!):
Dear Six Year Old Me,
I’m really sorry that you’re feeling so alone. I want you to know that you are SO worthy of love and that there are many people who love you, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. I love you so much and you are deserving of all of the amazing things in life. It is okay to put your own happiness before the happiness of others if that’s what you need. You cannot pour from an empty cup. You are not an inconvenience or a burden to others, in fact you are a bright shining light and you improve the day of those around you.
Yours Faithfully,
Mariah
It doesn’t need to be long, and it doesn’t have to be formatted as a letter.
If you want, you can simply just write down the blockage you have identified and then rewrite it in a positive way.
For example:
On one sheet of paper, write down all of the negative things or thoughts such as: I’m a burden to others.
Then on a different sheet of paper, write the positive version of that such as: I am a welcome addition to everyone’s lives and people appreciate having me in their life. When I ask for help, the right people want to offer me support.
Continue this until you have all of your negative ones down on one sheet, and have written the positive version down. It’s important to be specific to your negative beliefs, so that your list of positive affirmations is relevant to you.
THEN BURN/RIP UP THE NEGATIVE SHEET. This is transmutation, it is gone from you now and out of your body. You may also want to ask that Archangel Michael help you to shift these limiting beliefs out of all of your energetic fields, bodies, realties and dimensions and help you to install the positive ones.
Here are some positive versions of the prompts above:
– I’m not worthy of love: I am more than worthy of love and I accept love with ease and joy.
– People don’t hear me: People listen to me and understand me. It is safe for me to use my voice.
– I’m not good enough: I am important and deserving. I can have whatever I want as long as it moves me forward in life.
– I’m unsafe: I’m safe in my own body and I have the power to change my reality to be in safe environments always.
#4. You’re being initiated.
This one is probably the most interesting, and one that I’ve seen talked about the least.
This one especially true for you if you’re a healer or have recently decided to step up and claim your power.
If you’re being met with frustrating event after frustrating event in regards to your manifestation, it could be because you are needing to learn this.
Initiations take place if you decided to step up and work towards your highest path, and they come as hard & fast lessons from the higher realms that you NEED to learn in order to be of your highest service.
As a coach and healer, I often am met with situations that require me to learn something such as having to leave my belongings behind and not be upset, manifestations coming slow, etc., and then as soon as I move through the lesson, I have a client who is dealing with the same thing weeks later and I now know EXACTLY how they feel so I can help them through it quickly.
Initiations also show up as “tests.” Do you really want the thing, or are you going to settle? Are you ready to fully step up, or are you going to crumble at the first failure? Manifestations not showing up can be real lessons that we need to help us move forward in our lives and services.
Make sure you take this one into consideration and see what you are learning at the moment when your manifestation isn’t coming through.
In sum, it’s always best to reflect, learn, and relax.
And to know that God-Source/the Universe ALWAYS has your best interest in mind, and if you asked to be a match to your highest path, you will be challenged so that you learn. Do not be afraid of this. Play the game, and know you are taken care of.
You are more powerful that you realize, and it ways that you do not know.
If you’re having trouble seeing that or are interested in working with me to co-create the reality of your dreams using the LOA, email me at mariah@mariahkcg.com.
You are incredible, expansive, and MEANT for amazing things.
I love you.
