Here’s what an expert has to say on the subject:

What exactly is “Manifestation”?

One of the things that few people appreciate, I suspect, is just how much influence they actually have over what happens to them, and how much they can control events in the world around them.

The process by which you can do this is called manifestation, or using the Law Of Attraction. The most famous writing about the Law of Attraction is Napoleon Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich That, followed closely by The Secret: a book written by Rhonda Byrne in 2006, which has led many people into the world manifestation and reality creation.

Now of course when anything is very successful it tends to attract derision and this was true of The Secret, just as it’s been true of every other pioneering thought change in the history of humanity.

I think it’s important to recognize that just because somebody with no experience in achieving their own reality makes fun or a mockery of something like The Secret, it doesn’t mean that there is no truth in it.

Manifestation is a reality, and this can be testified to by millions of people down through the ages, who report consistent set of experiences around the creation of their own reality.

In essence, those experiences center on a combination of intense emotional states which lead to a high level of motivation, high level of expectation, and perhaps most importantly of all, a high level of confidence and belief in the entire process, even in the face of apparent setbacks.

So in essence, therefore if you’re actually going to achieve anything by the power of your mind, you need to start from a place which involves intense desire for a particular outcome.

Desire is often thought of as wanting or wishing for something, but the truth of the matter is that desire is a state of mind which is so intense that you can almost taste the strength of your passion, and something which you feel almost every moment of your waking existence.

You will know if you have passion for something because when you think about it your emotions are literally that – “passionate”.

Intense desire is a state of mind – a state of existence, one which lead you to the next step of this manifestation process, which is belief.

And I think belief is the problem that most people find difficult to accept: we all desire certain outcomes, and I’m sure you can remember the last time you wanted something so passionately that you would have done almost anything to get it.

The inevitable truth, and perhaps the sad truth, is that most people do not manifest even the things that they desire most passionately, and one of the compelling reasons why that should be so is because they simply do not believe that they can achieve that outcome.

Without believing that you can achieve, you never will achieve: is one of the most fundamental rules of manifestation and using the Law Of Attraction.

So what you do when you don’t believe? Of course you change your objective into something that is within your belief system.

One client of mine said that he was intensely passionate about founding a business, and he desired financial success and wealth: he programmed for an income of $1 million in the first year.

But when we talked about why him to achieve this, it turned out that his belief system limited him to something much lower than $1 million in sales.

Even though he thought it unwise, I persuaded him that he should go away and program for quarter of a million dollars in sales in his next year of operation. And even though this might seem like a big step backwards what I knew immediately from the look on his face was that this was totally believable for him, and of course you will not be surprised to learn that this is exactly what manifested.

The third step is expectancy or expectation. And what this means is that you must expect it to happen.

Not only do you need to believe that you can get what you want, that you can manifest a particular outcome, but that you should expect it to happen.

People are sometimes confused about the difference between belief and expectation, so I sum it up like this for them: I believe a man can go to the moon, but I certainly don’t expect to go there myself. And I believe Richard Branson can make $1 billion a year, but I certainly don’t expect to do myself.

There’s an extremely good summary of the law of attraction manifestation to be found on this website, which explains more or less everything that you need to know about how to manifest success.

One thing is really important to bear in mind, is that you can manifest almost anything you desire – that isn’t just include financial success, but it also includes relationship success, happiness, the partner of your dreams, material objects, financial wealth, emotional happiness… You name it, you can have it. Provided, that is, you believe, you desire, and you expect to receive it.
