Manifestation Not Working For You? Try This

Imagine a world where your thoughts act as seeds and your mind is the fertile soil in which they grow. Every thought and intention possesses the potential to manifest into outcomes.

Before you think manifestation is a buzzword, let me tell you this. Manifestation is more than just wishful thinking, daydreaming or idle wishing. It is the art of harnessing the incredible power of your mind to bring your desires to fruition. I keep talking about manifestation because it works. And for people who think it doesn’t, you are probably doing it wrong.

Some people say, “Luke, I tried manifestation. It did not work for me, so I gave up.”

Here is something you need to understand. One beautiful part of the universal manifestation is that sometimes we don’t get the things we want at a particular time. We need to tell ourselves that maybe it wasn’t meant for us then.

Reflections from my own life

My life is built on manifestation and visualization. Over the last 10 to 15 years, everything I wanted at a particular time, I have received most of it. But there were also things I wanted but didn’t receive. When I look back, I am happy it didn’t work out. Why? Sometimes we need to live with trust that the Universe knows what is best for us.

How do you make manifestation work for you?

Manifestation does not mean we can get lazy, greedy, and complacent and expect everything to happen for us. Hard work, talent, discipline, consistency, and moving to action are crucial.

Manifestation doesn’t just mean you can sit on a couch all day and visualize earning a billion dollars, your cancer going into remission, or love coming into your life without putting in any effort to make it happen.

The technique that I want to teach you today is to operate from a space of abundance.

We all want our disease to get better, our relationships to work out, and success at our workplace or in business. But when we manifest these, we need to look at what is the space we are operating from. Are we operating from a space of lack, fear, and insecurity? Or from a space of abundance, hope, faith, and belief?

There is a big difference between operating from these two spaces. When we operate from a space of lack, we feel we are not worthy enough to get something. We are insecure and fearful. These are very low energies. When we operate from a low-energy space, we only attract things and people at that particular energy and frequency.

It is what the law of attraction, quantum physics, and the power of the subconscious mind teach us. But what happens when we start operating from a space of abundance? Everything changes. Some of you may say, “Luke I don’t have money or a job. How can I feel abundant?” Maybe you are not abundant right now, but you can feel abundant. It is all about the feeling.

When you operate from a space of abundance, you tell yourself, “I believe that I am worthy of getting that job, getting that love, getting that abundance. I am worthy of my disease going away.” Everything changes because your energies change. And this is how we manifest.

While we speak about what to do better, we should also speak about what to not do. One of which is the crab mentality.

Give up the crab mentality

If you ever go to the fish market, look into a bucket of live crabs. You will observe this. Each crab is trying to push down the other crabs trying to climb out of the bucket. They try to reach that one crab almost reaching the top and push it down trying to get to the top. This is called the crab mentality. It is prevalent not just in India but everywhere.

Crab mentality is when people are not happy with other people’s success. They live with envy and try to pull them down. When someone gets promoted or rich, they immediately try to find negatives instead of wishing them success. A classic example of this is how the richest people have the most trolls.

Why do we engage in crab mentality? It is because we don’t feel good about ourselves. We start to feel a little better when we can pull someone down and tarnish their image. When we project our negativity onto them, we try to feel better and more important.

Some people wear brands because it makes them feel good. Some others wear it for external validation and power which is destructive. Intention is everything. There is nothing wrong with material things. But there is everything wrong when your intentions are not right.

If there is something you truly desire in life, start wishing it for other people.

I had a patient the other day who said, “Luke, I was sitting among 16 other patients going through chemotherapy and forgot my pain. All I did was pray that all those people getting chemotherapy may get better, may not suffer through side effects, and that they get into remission.”

It was such a beautiful thought to have. You may be going through your suffering but you can start wishing for others to get better. If you want to get successful in life, remember this. You will not get successful by pulling down other people. The trolls that hide behind the keyboard or live in plain sight among us will always be trolls. Their lives can never change. They can never attract success because they operate from a negative space. If you want to feel successful, start wishing success for the people around you.

If your colleague gets promoted and you do not, it is okay to feel sad. Wish them success. You don’t have to tell them in words. You only need to feel it. Someone got married, and you did not. Someone is falling in love, and you have fallen out of it. Don’t go around saying, “Love and marriage is a scam. Relationships are bad.” Just wish them well and hope their love, marriage, or relationship may work out.

When you put out negativity, you start blocking everything good that can enter your life. Whatever you want in your life – health, abundance, or success, start wishing it for other people.

The next missing puzzle piece is forgiveness.

How can forgiveness be a game-changer?

Forgiveness is difficult. Yes, we all know it. It is easier said than done. But what are you going to do about it? No one said it was easy. No one said it was impossible.

One of the best ways out of the numerous techniques for forgiveness is to start feeling good for the person who hurt you. Yes, the hurt may run deep. But you are not doing this for them. You are doing this for your own good.

Right now, you may have thoughts of revenge. All of us go through these feelings. I go through them when cheated in the company or in business. I think of revenge. But soon, I realize how bitter I am when the energies around me change. I start attracting the wrong people and events. It is when I tell myself, “You have felt your feelings of revenge. It is okay. Now wish them well and move on.”

And the moment I make that shift, new opportunities start coming into my life. All of a sudden I realized, I had to lose that business to build a better one. I had to lose that patient with attitude issues to get 10 better patients who respect my work and genuinely need me. That is the beauty of abundance and manifestation. It all comes down to introspection.

Drop the entitlement

We think life should always be easy. That we are entitled to a great life. Drop that entitlement. Sure, we can wish for a good life. But it will never be a bed of roses. It comes with happiness and sadness, wins and defeats. But the point is to keep moving. You may think, should I wish success for those who do it the wrong way too? Karma will fall into place for them. It is for life to decide, not you. Your judgment and opinions don’t change anything. Constant criticism will only bring you more negative energy. It blocks you from attracting and manifesting what you desire.

If you are sick while you pray for yourself and take action to get better, start wishing well for others who are sick. It is unbelievable how things will change. We tend to become very self-centered and think only about our suffering, negativity, hurt, and betrayal. We often forget that there is someone suffering and hurting more than we are.

I want to share a powerful incident from my own life. My dad passed away this year. When I visited the graveyard where we had just buried him, I stood there in sadness, shock, and grief. I looked to the side and saw a picture of a young girl buried at the tender age of 12.

Something shifted in me. I walked around the cemetery and looked at all the children buried there. Right then, my suffering melted. I was still sad. But I realized that someone out there is suffering worse than I am. I found my peace and healing.

Your in-laws may be creating problems for you. Just wish that they find peace in their own lives. You have a bad relationship or you are going through a divorce. I know it’s difficult because you may feel bitterness, deep hurt, and resentment. But your only way out of that hurt and resentment is to gently wish them well. It will not happen immediately. You are only human. But if you want to move on and start healing, do this gently.

You are the creator of your own energies

Start creating beautiful energies. Who can do this? Not your religious leader, doctor, or nutritionist. You create these energies with how you think and feel.

I had a patient who had back pain. He went in for back surgery and never got off the table. He is in a wheelchair. Now the point is how do we search for compassion for something like this? All we can do is just start a simple prayer every morning for every doctor, neurosurgeon, or healthcare practitioner. We pray that they have the power and the courage to do the right thing and be guided the right way. That’s how we send out great energies into the world.

It is our way of releasing the shackles that hold us down of bitterness, resentment, or negativity. If you have been wishing the exact opposite for others and wishing for bad things to happen – you need to stop. We block our abundance because of the negative energies we create.

Try these powerful techniques and give manifestation a chance. Tell me how it worked for you.
