You Are Magic: How Your Surroundings Shape Your Manifestation Power

Are you someone who feels manifestation is this woo-woo mystical thing that feels out of reach? You don't know where to start manifesting a goal or a new reality, or maybe you've started your journey but got stuck along the way and need that next key piece to keep moving forward? Fret not - I've got you covered, as this knowledge is likely applicable to you.

Our Natural State of Magic :

We are all born manifestors. Yes, you - you are a manifestor as well. If you feel like you're not, look around you. Everything you can observe, you have participated in some way in its creation - even the not-so-desirable things. The intent of this message is not to blame or fault anyone who feels helpless in their situation. I say this with deep love; I hold you gently in my heart's compassion. The purpose of this perspective is to empower you. If you somehow participated in creating what's happening around you and in your life, that also means you can play an equally or even more impactful part (with intention) to change it.

A gentle and important note: If you've experienced trauma, abuse, or victimization, please know that the above message about participation does not apply to those experiences. Such situations often occur due to circumstances beyond your control, and you are never at fault for being victimized. I hold you with deep compassion in my heart. If you're dealing with trauma, please be gentle with yourself and consider seeking professional support through therapy, counseling, or other healing modalities that resonate with you. Your healing journey is valid, and you deserve all the support you need.

Reconnecting with Your Magic :

The simplest first step is to believe you are magic. It might seem really simple, but I'm talking about an energetic shift in your state of being - which includes what you're feeling in your body and the quality of thoughts your mind is experiencing. Most of us have forgotten this fact.

Think back to your childhood. We were born magic, so abundant, believing and feeling anything is possible. We even acted like it. We were so confident in our walk and talk, even though none of it made sense most of the time. We expected our families to ooo and awww over us and take care of us, feeling so worthy and whole, with an attitude of "why wouldn't they, what else do they have to do?" Throughout that time, we were emanating our magic. Most adults with healthy brains, when they look at a little child, feel that "aww," sense that vibrance, and experience this magic that babies and little kids naturally radiate.

How We Lose Our Magic :

As we get exposed to our caregivers and the outer world - people acting from worldviews full of subconscious limiting beliefs - we pick up those beliefs and the energetic muck (stagnant energy) associated with them. This covers up our magic so thoroughly that it starts to stay hidden, and we don't feel as expansive anymore.

These patterns play out in our lives, making us act in ways that either:

- Surround us with undesirable creations

- Create roadblocks to our desires - some small and some seemingly insurmountable

The solution? Get back in your magic. Believe it, feel it, think it, know it, and be it. The more we hold this state of being, the more things start to shift in our reality.

A Powerful Tool for Shifting States :

While meditation (or any technology that helps you get into the alpha brain wave state) facilitates getting into this state of being, today I want to introduce you to another powerful tool: Changing your surroundings.

I apply this principle almost daily to get into this magic state of being. This isn't just for beginners - it can supplement anyone's manifestation journey, regardless of their level.

Understanding Environmental Energy :

Sometimes we feel stuck in our situations and the physical places associated with them. It could be a job, an office location, or even our home environment. What many don't realize is that all places have their own energetic signature, influenced by multiple factors:

- The amount of empty space and flow

- Natural light and ventilation

- The energy of past inhabitants

- The quality of human interactions that took place there

- Connection with nature

- Energy of objects occupying the space

The ancient wisdom systems of Vastu and Feng Shui understood these principles deeply. They show us how poor energetic configuration can create blocks, leading to relationship troubles, health issues, or financial problems. In my experience, if a space's energy isn't aligned, it can block your ability to manifest by interacting with your energy field and intensifying any existing blocks.

The Impact on Manifestation :

Unless you're a master meditator, it's challenging to shift from a stagnant state into a more elevated or magical state without changing your environment. I've experienced this deeply during times when I was stuck in a home that wasn't energetically optimal or in a job where my work environment was full of blocks. Until I moved out of those spaces, my magnetic abilities seemed zapped.

Even now, as an advanced meditator and energy healer, while these spatial needs don't impact me as much, I still must be mindful of how much time I spend in energetically low places.

Practical Steps to Shift Your Energy :

If you find yourself in a space that depresses your energetic state of being, here are powerful steps you can take:

1. Take Strategic Breaks

Even small breaks can dramatically change your state of being. Consider:

• Visiting a vibrant coffee shop

• Taking a trip to the beach

• Enjoying your favorite nature hike

• Visiting a friend with a beautiful, high-energy home

Personal example: Whenever the dense energy in my tiny home blocks my creativity, I pack my laptop and drive to a cafe or the beach. Suddenly, words flow freely that seemed blocked at home. Being in states of creativity, curiosity, and joy accelerates manifestation powers, and nature and inspiring spaces naturally induce these states.

2. Practice Energetic Clearing

Regular clearing rituals can elevate your space's energy and align it with your manifestation intentions:

• Smudging with sage

• Channeling Reiki for space clearing (done yourself or through a practitioner)

• Sound Baths

• Prayer work

• Meditation

• Drumming ceremonies

3. Introduce High-Energy Objects

Transform your space with:

• Items you have a sacred connection to

• Gifts from healers or spiritual teachers

• Images or objects that inspire elevated states

• Natural elements that raise vibration

• Plants

4. Remove Energy Drains

Clear out anything that:

• Has served its purpose

• Creates clutter

• Holds negative memories

• No longer serves your highest good

5. Consider a Fresh Start

Sometimes, the most powerful step is to move out permanently. I've experienced this myself and know friends who had to relocate to new places with better energy. This opened doors they couldn't have imagined before and positively impacted their mental health.

6. Miscellaneous

There are other things that can be done like changing the lighting (from flueorescent to warm lighting, installing more windows for natural light, increasing ventilation etc.

The Future of Energy Awareness :

I envision a future where we'll all naturally understand and work with energy. Where we can:

• Strengthen our intuition

• Shift the energy of spaces at will

  Create deeper, more authentic connections

• Move beyond superficial interactions

• Resolve conflicts through understanding

• Master both compassion and manifestation

This represents the next level of human evolution - where everyone understands their innate magical abilities and uses them consciously for the highest good.
