In the first scenario such people are already doing some form of spiritual self-work or inner work in this lifetime, hence they are manifesting. Or they have done such work in previous lifetimes and its somewhat easier for them in this current incarnation. As you embark on the journey of inner work, you remove layers of energy that no longer serves you. You clear out your aura and remove debris or dirty energy. There are just numerous ways to do this. Breathing exercises, meditation, chanting, and energy healing are some routes. This is a beautiful journey.

You clear out layers of debris – from your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and astral forms. In my own journey of spiritual self-discovery, I have felt there are some basics that are important to follow:

Alignment of all your chakras – a very important step to stay in basic alignment and to be healthy physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Connecting with your higher self or intuition – this does not come easy but when it does, it is magical. This is the spiritual step.

Removing limiting thoughts and beliefs – To delve further to understand, what thoughts and beliefs within you are your own roadblocks. To let go of them and to reprogram yourself.

Clearing ancestral patterns – When you view yourself separately and decide what patterns of your family and lineage do not serve you anymore and you are ready to move on.

Letting go of karmic baggage – This level of discovery takes you into previous lifetimes and incarnations. To tap into memories within you where you took on some lessons to learn over lifetimes. And now you have reached a stage to understand and decide that those lessons are learnt and that you are ready to move on from that cycle.

Once you have worked on yourself at these levels, you are in a state of high vibration and alignment with the universe. In such a state, its then possible to manifest easily. Because your thoughts and intentions are not impeded by any of the above blockages. This time is called ‘Divine Timing’ – when you have reached spiritual maturity and depth and are able to manifest.

A lot of effort and dedication is required to reach this stage of spiritual development. The beauty is that this endeavor helps you to lead a life of balance both in the material sense and spiritual sense. Not everyone is required to lead a life of a monk to become spiritual and align to your true self or authentic self. It’s a perspective you develop and hone further for yourself, your family, progeny, and people around you.

So yes, manifesting seems like magic but it’s a lot of hard work. A journey that as it unravels, leaves you with profound fulfilment and in awe of the workings of our universe. We are but a tiny speck in the cosmos but can achieve an amazing state of divinity.
