The Secret To Manifestation

There's a lot of discussion in the spiritual community about manifesting your dreams by raising your vibration to attract what you want in your life. People talk about being in vibrational alignment with that which you wish to attract and living as though your dreams have already come true. This is certainly critical to manifestation, but it’s only half the story. There are in fact, two aspects; vertical and horizontal alignment, the latter often being glossed over or left out of the dialogue entirely.

Vertical alignment means that your thoughts, feelings and actions are in harmony. This is the stuff of countless social media videos, courses and self-help books. If you are envisioning what you want clearly and have total passion for it, then your heart and head are in alignment. Clearly, your actions also need to be in alignment with your vision. If you truly believe in yourself and are doing everything you can to make your desires a reality, removing subconscious blocks so you don’t put fears or doubts out there to confuse things, you become a resonant match with your wishes, and you manifest what you desire. As the Buddha said;

 “What you think you become, what you feel you attract, what you imagine you create.” 

However, there is another critical factor that spiritual coaches and ‘manifestation gurus’ often leave out of the equation. We need to be horizontally aligned. This means being in alignment with our environment - the people around us, our family and friends, our workplace, our communities.  We need to be a resonant vibration with our network, our ‘tribe’ for ideas to transform into sustainable creations.

This means having supportive people in our life, people who believe in us and want to help. It means having opportunities available to us in our communities, our economies, our society. Our work must be needed; people must want what we are offering. We need to be resonant with others around us so that we are collaborating and partnering with life, meeting the needs of the time. This is what it means to be horizontally aligned.

So, if we want to manifest something high vibrational in the world, it's not just about copious amounts of self-belief, passion and hard work.  It’s about partnering, collaborating and networking, which is the natural energy exchange of the universe. It means meeting people on their level, being authentic, speaking to people in words they understand and resonate with. Crucially this requires that we are not judgemental of others who are at different levels of consciousness.

It also means being unafraid to show our own vulnerabilities, because this makes us so endearingly human and relatable. All our flaws and imperfections are what attracts people our way because we are accessible, not on some high and mighty pedestal that makes others feel small and inferior, feeding their insecurities and bringing out their shadows.

When we are relatable, passionate visionaries who are action-oriented and wiling to be where our work is needed, we automatically attract situations and people who partner with us to co-create magnificent things in the world. When we are both vertically and horizontally aligned, we manifest things of the highest vibration and become true change-makers, creating a rising tide that lifts all ships.
