The Wrong Reason to Manifest Money
Posted by Helen Crosbie on 9th Apr 2021
One of the things most people most want to manifest when they begin to learn about the law of attraction is MONEY.
Dollars, Pounds, Euros, Crypto, whatever the currency, I hear the same things from so many people:
"But I just need to manifest more money, that will solve my problems!"
I'm going to let you in on a little secret here because this is a very easy trap to fall into, and can lead to manifesting things you really don't want at all.
It's not about the Money
It's not necessarily about the money - it's about manifesting the things you want to buy or pay for with the money!
A very common mistake that most of us make in our manifesting work, especially at first, is that we try to manifest money, and often in a very specific way, in order to pay for something we want
"I need to manifest more hours at work" or "I need to manifest a better paid job" or "I need to manifest more clients!"
But do you really want to be working longer hours? Giving yourself more work may seem like the only solution, but ultimately you are manifesting work you have to do, rather than the thing or result what you actually want - and that's a mistake. You're focussing on the wrong thing.
Whilst it's possible that the steps to get what you want may involve more work, it also may not. You may receive an inheritance, a refund of some overpaid bill, a gift, you could win some money, or find an old savings account you'd forgotten about. Somebody might give you the item you want, you could be gifted it, win it - there are an infinite number of ways it could come to you, and many of them may not involve money at all! By insisting that the universe bring you money, worse in a very specific way, in order to achieve your goal, you are actually restricting the abundant universe's ability to help you. You're creating a blockage!
Who are we to think we know better than the all-wise universe, that we know best?
Working & earning money is only one possible way that abundance can flow to you so you can acquire something. More to the point, if you're already tired, overworked and frustrated by your circumstances, the last thing you should be trying to do is to manifest more work for yourself!
Focus on the Goal, not the Means
Instead, focus on the end goal - the thing or things you need or want to pay for. This could be anything from your rent, to a new car or even a home in the Caribbean.
To truly manifest what you want, we have to take the focus off the money - which is no more than an energy of exchange, and instead focus on the goal we want to achieve, which may or may not require us to have a certain amount of money.
So I'd invite you to take a look at how you've been working on your manifestation. It you've written a list of things you want to manifest, review it and make sure you haven't just written a list of jobs for yourself by accident! It's easier than you think to do that.
I think because of how we're raised, and the fact that we have some very fixed, pre-conceived ideas about how to get something, that we get very stuck in the mind-rut that "I have to earn / get the money to pay for that if I want it."
The universe may well have another solution or option that doesn't involve you working yourself to death in a stressful, highly paid job. If you choose it, the universe can find you ways to manifest that don't require much work at all! (And no, it doesn't have to be a lottery win *lesigh*) How does that sound?!
So check your beliefs about money, and open your mind to the possibility that you could be slowing down your progress, or at least making things harder for yourself by insisting that the universe go along with your plan to manifest money in a very specific way to achieve your end goal.
Instead, focus on the end goal and be open to however the clever old universe brings it to you.
