Why Manifestation (Sometimes) Doesn’t Work
For many years, manifestation has been a buzzword in the spiritual community. An array of manifestation gurus advise us every day to journal, set intentions, clear our chakras, consult our pendulums, visualize our wishes and goals as if they are already real, and maintain a “high vibe” energy.
In theory, this should bring our desires into manifested form. But wha tif we do all the right things…and still, nothing happens?
If you’ve ever felt deflated after months, even years of affirmations, vision boards, visualized meditations, crystal grids, and candle lighting rituals, you’re not alone. There are real reasons why manifestation doesn’t always work the way we expect.
Years ago, a young man called me for a reading, utterly discouraged. He’d been practicing the Law of Attraction for months with no results.
“I still don’t have a Porsche in my driveway,” he said flatly. “This manifestation thing just doesn’t work.”
So, I asked him, “What have you actually done to get the Porsche?”
He looked confused. “Well, I’ve visualized it. I’ve journaled about it. I imagine myself driving it every night before I fall asleep. But it’s still not there.”
I smiled and said, “That’s a great start. But what else have you done?”
Confused silence.
That’s when I explained: manifestation isn’t just about imagining or magic. It’s about alignment. You can affirm, wishlist and believe all you want, but if your daily choices, habits, and actions aren’t in harmony with your vision, the energy stalls.
The Manifesting Power Of Mindful Mornings
Mornings are special. The energy of the morning is different than at any other time. When the sunlight is still fresh and gentle, the world is calm and quiet, there is a magic to this time. There is a softness that invites clarity, a gentle nudge from the universe to begin again, to step into a new day with intention and grace.
The first few moments of our day help to set the tone for our experiences throughout. Becoming aware and attuned to this fresh universal energy can be as simple as creating a small morning routine.
Now, I realize not everyone loves the morning as much as I do. If this is the case for you, the idea of creating a morning routine may not sound appealing at all. Starting with small, quick steps can make all the difference here.
Your morning routine is meant to set you up for success. It is about doing things you like in the morning, that get you in the right frame of mind and heart.
Bringing a bit of mindfulness into your morning can set you up energetically to respond more effectively to your experiences throughout the day.
Below is a list of things you can do in the morning to create a personalized routine that works for you. You certainly don’t have to do all them! Just pick one or two to get started and build from there. While consistency is important, if something is not working for you, change it up and try something new. This routine should be fulfilling and meaningful to you.
The Spiritual Power Of The Words You Speak
Have you ever stopped to truly consider the words you speak? Most of us talk all day, every day, without realizing the impact of each syllable we send out into the world.
Words are much more than just communication sounds. They’re vibrations, frequencies, and intentions. Whether spoken softly, shouted out loud, or whispered quietly to yourself, every word carries mystical energy.
In many spiritual traditions, the spoken word is seen as a powerful metaphysical force or divine power. It is a force of creation and transformation.
From magical incantations to sacred ceremonies, words have long been used to shape everyday reality, influence the world and improve life.
The earliest recorded reference to the power of speech dates back to ancient Mesopotamia. In the city of Uruk, magical incantations were found carved onto clay tablets dating back to approximately the 5th century BCE. These spoken spells were used for protection, healing, and influencing others, revealing a deep understanding of the energetic and powerful nature of speech as early as 2,500 years ago.
Around the same time, the ancient Egyptians believed in the concept of heka, which is often translated today as “magic” but really means “divine creative power.” They believed the gods used heka to create the world, and that humans could access this same creative power through sacred words called hekau.
A Fabulous Life Beyond Limiting Beliefs
Many people go through life without ever questioning, let alone challenging, the limiting beliefs they were taught since childhood. They blindly follow whatever their family, community, or culture prescribe, often without realizing it.
Some of these limiting beliefs have been passed down through generations, remaining unchanged for thousands of years. If we never stop to examine these inherited mindsets, we remain trapped in limited thinking – always confined within the box.
I often find people are stuck in the emotional patterns and thought habits of their parents or grandparents.
For example, those whose families lived through the Great Depression, or who endured scarcity of food, heat, or other basic necessities, may feel compelled to save everything.
What if I need it someday? I paid so much for it, and it’s still perfectly good to keep. What if… what if…
A good example here where I live in the state of Maine is when an old Northeaster storm is supposed to come, bringing in double digit inches of snow.
Some folks then panic and rush to the nearest grocery store and stock up on two or three of the same items, because what if I can’t get out again for two weeks? Which, as a matter of fact, has never happen in my lifetime! Realistically you may only be marooned a day or two at the most in most parts of Maine.
A Step-By-Step Guide To Manifesting True, Lasting Love
Have you been asking yourself: Does he love me? Is he into me, like I am into him? Where is my life partner, my soulmate? Is my person ever going to come into my life?
We all want that amazing, healthy relationship where we feel desired, respected, appreciated, and deeply connected. There’s nothing wrong with wanting a love that feels like it was written in the stars.
But many people don’t really know how to get there. If you’re feeling a bit lost about where to start, or confused about why love hasn’t shown up for you yet, you’re not the only one.
No matter how down you might feel, your desire for deep, lasting love is very much possible.
One of the first steps is to stop doubting your own value. Feeling unworthy is one of the main reasons many people do not meet their person.
You’re totally worthy of the kind of relationship you’re after. Yes, you! And it can start right now.
Sometimes the underlying issue is subtle, like a limiting belief, an old emotional wound, or a vibrational mismatch between what you want and what you’re actually putting out there. Other times, it’s just that you haven’t quite tapped into your manifesting power yet.
Here’s the thing: love isn’t something you chase. It’s something you align with. Everything you think, feel, and do contributes to how you see your world. True love wants to find you. You just need to meet it halfway. It all starts with self-awareness, a mindset shift, and the courage to heal what’s been holding you back.
Align Your Mind With The Life You Desire
We attract into our life what we expect. When parents, friends, peers, and most importantly, your own self-talk tell you that you are not good enough, smart enough, or attractive enough, and you choose to believe it, then it becomes your reality.
Repeating these messages to your subconscious mind reinforces this belief until it ultimately manifests as reality in your life. The subconscious mind accepts everything it hears as true. It does not distinguish between what is objectively true and what has merely been repeated often enough.
Self-talk, whether supportive or filled with doubt, is internalized in the same way. The subconscious mind is like an eager child: receptive to all input, particularly messages received consistently and frequently. It listens and learns without judgment, simply absorbing and accepting.
This is why it can be so challenging to differentiate between genuine inner truth and a false belief formed from repeated external messages, such as television content, stories shared by others, or even our own inner dialogue.
For example, you might fall asleep while watching a joyful, lighthearted program. Then, a horrific war documentary comes on. Even though you are no longer consciously watching, your subconscious mind continues to absorb the information. Those unsettling images and emotions may then weave their way into your dreams, shaping new fears and anxieties despite their origin in fiction or someone else’s story.
How To Manifest Your Life Partner
Is it really possible to manifest your life partner, your soul mate, your person, your match? Yes, absolutely, if you do it the right way. But there’s also a wrong way to do it.
Manifesting love isn’t about chasing someone or endlessly swiping through dating apps — it’s about aligning with the kind of relationship your heart desires. It’s about becoming a magnet for the right person, not just any person.
Whether you’re looking for a soul mate, a spouse, a life partner, or just a deeply fulfilling connection, the magic starts within you.
Many people get discouraged when love doesn’t come their way. They think it must mean there’s something wrong with them, or that love just isn’t in the cards. But often it’s not about luck or timing — it’s about energy, belief and intention. For example, if you’re still holding on to old heartbreaks, self-doubt or fear, you may be unconsciously blocking the very thing you want to invite in.
The good news? You can change that. You can shift your vibration. You can clear out the old energy and make room for someone new — someone who sees you, values you, and truly wants to walk beside you. Manifesting love isn’t just about asking God, Source, the Universe to send you someone – it’s about declaring what you deserve and then aligning your actions and beliefs with that inner truth.
Over the years, I have helped many of my psychic reading clients on their journey to find love. So, if you’re ready to welcome love — not just any love, but the right kind — these next steps will guide you to successfully bringing in your beloved.
