The end of life as I knew it.
I can not exactly pinpoint the moment I first heard about manifestation. I remember being incredibly sad my sophomore year in college. I kept saying to myself “it is just one thing after another huh?.”
My great-grandma had just passed. I was in my college town, distanced from my family. One of my fears related to going away for college was having this exact scenario happen, and not being able to say goodbye. I had never felt emotional pain like this in my life. She was like my best friend and had a huge impact on who I grew up to be. After she passed I remember feeling like I was on autopilot. It was January 2019 and the school year was just starting.
Before she passed she had promised me that she would buy my university graduation ring. She had previously asked me how much it was going to cost- I said $500. 2 weeks after the funeral, my friend and I were in a car accident, we were not terribly hurt- just a few bruises, which was fortunate. I did however get a call from my friend’s insurance agency telling me they were sending me $500. I didn’t really know why, but gladly I received the money.
To this day I choose to believe that it was my grandma who sent me those $500– via a terrifying accident and all but it’s the thought that counts-right?
Come February- the sadness lingered. I was missing class, barely eating, and staying in bed as long as I could, my room was a mess and I was tired all the time.
I did not know how to drive at the time, I asked my friend to take me to Target, I saw a cute pineapple print notebook and a set of pens in the $1 section and I had this strong inkling to buy it- so I did.
In an attempt to get out of my sadness, I started writing, I started by searching for “positive quotes,” and writing them over and over. I felt C-R-I-N-G-Y, but honestly, it really helped, I was feeling better. Searching up positive quotes turned into me finding affirmations on Pinterest.
Pause
Before we go any further, I want to give some background into my religious upbringing and beliefs. I was raised Catholic, I was baptized, did my communion and my confirmation- all that. Still, my family was not the “go to church every Sunday,” type. I do remember prayer being a very big part of my life growing up. My great-grandma prayed every single night for everyone she knew, for her nietos and tataranietos and she prayed for the world, for those that were hungry, and for people in jail- literally, she prayed for everyone. I loved praying, and I prayed on and off throughout my life. I also questioned religion DEEPLY, I questioned God, I questioned it all. I could not understand why bad people were living good lives and why good people faced hunger, death, oppression, and pain. (I’m a Cancer BTW -as Cancer as they get)
Affirm it.
Okay, so as I kept writing my quotes and my newfound affirmations, “I am happy, I am having a good day, I am getting an A on my next exam,” I REALLY started feeling better.
Those affirmations on Pinterest all had the same design on it featuring the words “The Secret.” I realized that “The secret,” was a book and a movie that was on Netflix. I watched the movie and was really surprised by what it had to say, one man was talking about his vision board, and I was like “oh I have one of those.”
WELL, let me tell you that since then it has been lesson after lesson. I have doven deep into the spiritual world, and it has changed my life.
There has been lots of shadow work taking place since then. A lot of confronting and questioning myself, my actions, and a lot of realizing what it is that I truly want.
I realized that manifestation is a lot like praying, and I have been receiving like never before.
Manifest it, Babe
And manifestation is not some out there woo-woo thing–we all are doing it and have done it all our lives. Either you are consciously actively participating or you are unconsciously participating- either way, you are currently participating in building your reality.
So far since realizing this truth, I have manifested:
-multiple jobs
-knowing how to drive!!!!!
-a car
-electronics
-a trip to Italy
-being safe
-Free gifts, like a Nespresso
-parking spaces
-green lights
-friendships
-conversations
-my appearance
-healthy happy relationships with myself and others
-my first 1 bedroom apartment
-money, repeatedly and continuously
-EVERYTHING IN MY CURRENT REALITY
I feel peace like I never before and I have so much certainty that no matter what it is, I will figure it out.
YOU CAN DO THIS TOO, IT IS WITHIN YOU.
I will be discussing this topic extensively. Ask me all your questions (@vibrayvida) and I will gladly answer them.
Stay tuned,
Love, Vibra
