Last year I gave a reading where manifesting desires came up; specifically, how easy it was for the client's family to score tickets and freebies to see their favourite bands playing. When it came to other wants, like a business taking off, the process was much slower. Obviously the complexity involved in a business is more involved, but why was it that anything musical took off quickly?
Why are some things easier to manifest?
The message that came through was about the bliss we feel when we are at a concert, or even listening to music that we love. It is not a stepping stone to anything else, you just want to enjoy the moment. It is not a fancy purse or a car that will do X, Y or Z for you. Not that there is anything wrong with wanting a beautiful bag or a piece of jewellery that we genuinely love ;-)
If we want to manifest other things with the same level of ease, we have to connect with the end goal and not the vehicle that may get us there. We can manifest our Heart's desires quicker than the Ego's wants because the Ego wants security and focuses on things that appear to offer security, whereas the Heart will sense joy and taps into it naturally.
Allowing vs Forcing Manifestations
A few months ago I signed up for a spiritual psychology class. My teacher Camila explained that the Universe responds to how we feel about situations. When we see something and think "oh I like that!" the Universe takes note. The more often we respond with appreciation, the clearer our signal. Every time we respond positively to an idea, we tell the Universe to bring it closer to us. Until poof!!! It comes about in the best possible way. I've had a few gifts come along this way.
To recap, the key is to respond with a joyful "I love that!" when we come across anything that we'd like to have in our lives. Whether it is a new purse, a new relationship, a promotion at work, a solid group of friends or even a house on a specific street. This is how I found my apartment in Notting Hill years ago - felt it in my Heart Chakra and I wound up on the most beautiful street.
Why Envy Has The Opposite Effect
If instead, we respond with envy to the world around us, that unhappy and slightly bitter feeling sends mixed signals to the Universe. The Universe isn't a psychologist who thinks "she responds with irritation but deep down, wants it, so I'll give it to her anyway." Instead, the Universe registers envy as an unhappy feeling that arises in response to X, Y or Z. To help us, it pushes the object away from us so that we can be at peace. Not helpful at all is it???
There is a great book by Karla McLaren called The Language of our Emotions: What Your Feelings are Trying to Tell You. She doesn't go so far as to link emotions with manifesting, but it her approach works as a roadmap. Envy is a tricky one because it shows us what we think we can't have (hence the envious response). It also repels the object of our desires. The Universe can move us into a position where we can satisfy our needs and wants for growth, love and abundance - but we have to give it time and space to do so, on its terms.
The trick is to heal the source of envy, knowing that we too can shine; all the while feeling joy and appreciation for others. The more we celebrate others, the better off we are.
Some Musical Inspiration!
My book, Chakra Healing & Magick, looks at healing tools designed to manifest a life of love, joy and power. Whenever I sit down to visualize an intended future I will listen to my favorite songs to feel that joy, asking for This or Something Better for my Highest Good, a manifesting phrase from Camila's class. We can also sing; the intention is for your voice to send that vibe out to the world.
With this in mind, here is a link to one of my favourite songs by Coldplay. This one also brings in a bit of color vibrations for the Solar Plexus Chakra, the chakra for joy and personal power =)

One Last Healing Tip!
There are many ways to heal ourselves. I find that the changes we seek come about quicker when we combine energy healing with music. Listen to songs that match your current mood - whatever needs healing. Don't shy away from the sadder vibes, and when you have sat with those emotions for a while, bring the playlist back to something a little more balanced or upbeat. We can all learn to channel energy healing, my books will get you started. Chakra Healing & Magick includes the creative healing tools that I use every day.
The secret ingredient: live recordings amplify the effect with the audience's energy. If you speak Spanish, these are my go-to songs for good vibes! Tap into that sense of joy.
