Give Your Manifestations Some Muscle

Did you know that you get a say on what I write about on Such Different Skies? Recently on Facebook, I asked the question: What would you rather I blog about this Wednesday- Colour Therapy? OR a soulful technique on how we can speed up our manifestations?

I thought Colour Therapy had won the race for sure, but in a last minute blitz, the manifesting mavens came forth and waved there GIMME! flags, and so I present you, the winning topic! (Kinda fun, don’t ya think?)

I need to thank a client of mine for bringing this back to my attention lately; I’ve wanted to share this with you for a while, to be a honest, but things have a beautiful tendency of working out just perfectly, and there really is no better time to discuss vision boards, dreams and manifesting (and how we can maximise them!) then right now. I just ask that you read this post with an open heart.

My visualisations have changed. They’ve morphed from images and scenarios that encapsulate my wants and desires, into colours and shapes that help those around me.

Let me rephrase.

Specifically, I have consciously shifted my priorities further than the attainment of the vision (be it the dollars, or the dream location, or the stuff), and instead, I’m looking far beyond that to project what effect my ‘success’ will have on the world around me.

It’s Generosity + Gratitude 101, but it dives a little deeper, to a place where perhaps you haven’t ventured to just yet. In which case, let’s get cracking! I’ll use some vision boards I’m working with at the moment as examples, and I’ll demonstrate questions I might ask myself to conjure up visions of service and generosity.

The VITALITY Vision Board

When I reach this type of level in my yoga practice, how will that positively affect the world around me? I’ll be more grounded, present and patient, which are wonderful qualities. I’ll be a better coach, friend and daughter. I’ll exude more calm, which is beautifully infectious. How will the world around me change if I drink smoothies and green juice, meditate and work with crystals? I’ll have an opportunity to lead by example; my energy levels will be representative of my food choices and spiritual practice, and when people see something they crave (happiness, vitality, energy), they often want to know how they can get it, too. Eating these foods and devoting time to spirit raises my energies and vibrations, and makes the world a safer, more peaceful (and loving) place to be in. If I continue writing content and coaching clients through Such Different Skies, how does that affect other people in the world? I create space for women (and a few totally awesome men) to become curious about themselves. Such Different Skies is as unique as me, and it’s an expression of my desire to feel useful in the world. I string together valuable words for anyone in the world who needs them, and for those that need more support and nurturing, I make myself available to them through coaching. Such Different Skies is important to humanity.

The LOVE Vision Board (This vision board is featured in my free e-book!)

How will the world around me benefit from me having a loving and supportive relationship with my husband? Love wins, every time. The two of us become more fulfilled, happy and adventurous and time goes on, which allows us to radiate those feelings to the world around us. We inspire other couples to love deeply, travel the world and take chances.

The DREAM LOCATION Vision Board

How will humanity benefit from me moving to Burleigh Heads in 2013? I am going to feel FULL with hope; positively brimming with spritely enthusiasm and peace. I’ll feel inspired by my home base, and the lifestyle that accompanies it. My body will be supremely nourished by sunshine, ocean and the bounty from endless farmers markets. I will feel free and reflective and astoundingly grateful. I’ll re-connect with my adventurous self who longs to surf and paddle board and get back on a skateboard. Friendships become a priority. All of this wonder will permeate into my environment; those high energy realities like gratitude, inspiration and presence, invite those around me to feel the same. From this place of peace, I can help change the world.

The WOMEN THAT INSPIRE ME Vision Board

So, big deal, what’s the best thing that can happen if I collaborate with any or all of these women in the future (or, if I simply just choose to admire them)? Huge things! We reach more women. Our message soars. We heal each other and our readers and clients. We join forces, in every sense of the word, and amplify our intentions. We evoke sisterhood and unity in a time when it is so needed. We rally for change and the crushing of competitiveness and instead, project teamwork. We believe in each other, and you.

{I should make note that I’ve already worked with 3 of these women (plus another two who I’ve already removed from this vision board. Update people, update!), and have got my sights set on working with a further four in the next couple of months.}

Catch my drift? Let your desires be the catalyst for your visualisations, and then take it one step further by making it more about them, and less about you. The Universe crushes on you big time when you seek to serve. Trust me on this one.

How does that feel in your bones? I’m excited to know what you think, so let me know how it goes when you muscle things up a little! And also, I’d be SO appreciative if you decide to like or share this post with your community, this is life-changing stuff, after all! :)
