You're listening to the Manifestation Station podcast.
0:11
I'm your host Holly Edwards and together we can help create your magic.
0:21
Hello you gorgeous lot. Welcome back to another episode of the Manifestation Station.
0:29
I am Holly Edwards, your manifesting coach, guide, manifesting bestie,
0:36
whatever you want me to be today. I am here with you to guide you through this episode.
0:41
I'm very excited about this one. I'm very excited about every episode,
0:45
by the way, but this is a good one because it's about what we can do just before
0:51
we sleep to activate our manifesting power.
0:55
Now, I am bringing you this podcast today
0:58
I'm hoping you're not hearing
1:01
some background noise now if you
1:04
do I apologize because my partner
1:08
and I are having our dream kitchen built and I think it's fair to say that my
1:13
partner totally manifested our new kitchen now that's a story for another episode
1:21
but he manifested it It came from nowhere. He wanted the new kitchen.
1:27
We wanted a beautiful kitchen where we could have double doors that open out
1:31
onto our garden, onto our wishing well. And...
1:35
It's happening. It's happening. And he wasn't sure how to make it happen.
1:40
But he did various things.
1:42
And I will tell you about this another time. But he bought some things for the
1:45
kitchen that didn't exist yet.
1:46
He started making plans, making drawings, even though there wasn't really a
1:52
way to make it happen at the moment.
1:53
And here we are just probably about six months later and the building work is happening.
2:00
The reason I'm telling you this is one, because it's a good manifesting story
2:03
and two because you may hear some
2:06
drilling you may hear some banging and I
2:11
wasn't sure whether to record the pod today and then
2:13
I thought absolutely not there is no way I am not bringing you an episode of
2:20
the manifestation station one because I know that those of you who listen to
2:24
it are wanting it in fact you've asked me if I could go weekly instead of fortnightly
2:29
so The good news is that is coming very soon.
2:32
I will be going back to weekly episodes.
2:36
So I'm hoping you can do a little cheer if you are an avid listener.
2:40
And also there's something about manifesting, whether you're creating a new
2:43
business or a new pathway, it's just doing it. It's just starting.
2:49
Even if the road ahead or the start is messy, you don't know how to start,
2:53
you don't know how to do things, start a podcast, write a book.
2:56
Start that business that you want to start.
2:58
Even in the messiness it's just start and
3:01
that's what I thought about the podcast today do you know what we may have a little
3:04
bit of background noise but you know what I'm
3:07
recording the podcast anyway because it's important it's
3:11
what my future self will be thankful for it's what
3:14
I'm thankful for and my lovely clients and listeners so there
3:17
we go now today's episode
3:21
I think is one of the most powerful
3:25
tools I have I have ever
3:28
used which I think to transform my life and the
3:31
lives of my clients as well so if
3:34
you are someone who's into manifesting and you're doing all the right manifesting
3:41
things you're you're scripting you're doing vision boards and your positive
3:45
affirmations maybe your results feel a little bit slow a little bit stuck or inconsistent Well,
3:53
this episode might just be the very missing piece of your puzzle.
3:58
So we are talking about how to activate your subconscious mind at night.
4:06
So right before you fall asleep, the exact time when your brain is most impressionable
4:13
and open to reprogramming.
4:15
So most of our programming and our subconscious, I think it's like 96% is operating
4:21
from our subconscious and our subconscious is resetting overnight.
4:27
So if we can slip some little manifesting power, some manifesting juice in just
4:33
before we sleep, it's like we're absolutely accelerating our manifestations.
4:39
But also, it will bring a sense of calm and knowing power that you're manifesting whilst you sleep.
4:50
Now, this isn't just woo-woo or a bit crazy.
4:52
I guarantee you there is actually science behind it.
4:55
By the end of this episode, you'll have a simple but easy to maintain bedtime practice.
5:02
And we're going to use a very powerful affirmation that you can say out loud
5:07
or in your head before you sleep that can literally change your identity while
5:11
you sleep, change your manifesting journey whilst you sleep.
5:16
Let's talk about why sleep time is so powerful for manifestation.
5:21
So we're tapping back into your subconscious mind
5:25
I always like to think of manifesting like a
5:28
garden and your subconscious you have to think about
5:31
your subconscious that is the soil
5:34
in your garden nothing grows well
5:37
and grows fruitfully if your soil is
5:40
not rich in nutrients so your
5:43
subconscious is the soil so whatever seeds you
5:46
plant there your beliefs your thoughts your expectations your mindset shifts
5:52
your actions it nurtures grows and thrives in your soil in your subconscious
5:59
now here's the best bit your subconscious doesn't change by willpower it changes by repetition and.
6:05
Emotion, and impressionability. So that is creating new neural pathways.
6:11
I've said this before, repetition, habit will actually create new neural pathways in your brain.
6:18
So if you can get used to doing this nighttime affirmation, this nighttime ritual,
6:24
you will be rewiring your subconscious to manifest whilst it sleeps.
6:29
So why does this work? Because as you drift off, you hit that kind kind of drowsy
6:35
relaxation phase, don't you?
6:38
And it's like all of your thoughts slow down.
6:41
You stop filtering things out and your subconscious is wide open.
6:47
And it's like a soft clay.
6:48
It's ready to mold and take shape of whatever you feed it.
6:53
And that's why if you fall asleep worrying.
6:57
Replaying fears, replaying things that happened in your day,
7:00
which weren't so good, or you're scrolling through social media,
7:04
you're literally programming your next day.
7:08
You are programming how you wake up and how your subconscious is going to behave the next day.
7:14
And eventually, your future will be those same anxious energies,
7:19
those same worries, those same fears, the same endless scrolling.
7:23
So it's so important that we use this really special time. It's just 10 minutes
7:29
before you drift off to sleep.
7:32
And actually, I quite often think about this. Do you ever get times in the night
7:36
where maybe you wake up or even in the morning,
7:38
you wake up and you sort of drift back off to sleep and you're kind of half
7:42
dozing and you're half awake and you're kind of in this weird dreamlike state?
7:47
Now, this is the same kind of thing. You're in that really relaxed state and
7:51
it's the perfect time to tap into your subconscious.
7:54
So I had a time in my life years ago where life was a little bit different.
7:58
And I had a season where I was sort of stuck a little bit financially. I was doing the work.
8:04
I had my gratitude journal. I was meditating, repeating affirmations in the
8:08
day. But deep down, there was something that wasn't quite clicking.
8:11
And at night, now I don't know if anyone else does this. I think quite often,
8:15
even if you're tired at night, you can lay down
8:18
and then you suddenly start thinking of all the things you need to do,
8:22
all the things that you're worried about thinking about bills
8:25
and calculating your expenses and worrying if that you're doing if are you doing
8:30
enough and then I learned about night time reprogramming and I made one change
8:36
one simple shift and I started repeating a new statement to myself in bed with
8:41
my hand on my heart feeling very open and feeling the emotions of it,
8:45
And honestly, within weeks, I feel like I was receiving unexpected opportunities.
8:51
I had clients reaching out. My energy had shifted.
8:55
And I felt like I'd stopped needing to hustle and just start trusting.
9:00
And that's how powerful this is. It can bring that newfound confidence and calm
9:07
and trust within your manifestation journey.
9:11
And like I said, there is science that backs this up. So studies show that during
9:17
your sleep, the brain consolidates memories and beliefs.
9:22
So the final thoughts that you
9:24
have before bed are likely to be stored and repeated in your subconscious.
9:29
So if like me, a few years ago, you were doing your worrying and all the things
9:33
you haven't done and your bills and that is what is going to be repeated and
9:38
stored in your subconscious.
9:39
Now, as you know, 96% of the way we are, our lives and things that come into
9:45
our lives are operating off of our subconscious.
9:48
So let's tune in and shift it for the better.
9:53
And that is why affirmations are so important, especially before bed.
10:00
They are most important before you go to bed. So you're not battling your conscious thoughts.
10:05
You are slipping these positive affirmations
10:08
into your subconscious without resistance and
10:12
you are planting you are planting those seeds
10:15
into your lovely healthy soil and imagine
10:18
then closing your eyes you are drifting off to sleep you're relaxed you're you
10:23
know the unknown you're in dream world yet your subconscious is working away
10:28
on the lovely thoughts and affirmations that you have put into the subconscious
10:33
just before you've drifted off to sleep.
10:37
Shall we talk about a three-step nighttime reprogramming ritual?
10:44
I think we should. You can do this just like five minutes before you fall asleep.
10:48
It's so simple and it's peaceful.
10:51
And I've often spoken before on other episodes about creating morning rituals
10:56
that work and that are lovely and that elevate your day and nighttime rituals as well.
11:02
So this can be one of your nighttime rituals.
11:05
Now, the first thing that is really important is to set the energy in your bedroom.
11:11
Set the energy a couple of minutes before you go to bed.
11:15
Dim the lights down. Even if
11:17
you are in bed watching telly, turn off your phone or put your phone down.
11:23
Put your phone on sleep or do not disturb.
11:26
This is going to help you not be tempted to pick up the phone,
11:30
scroll, see who's message, see who's posted, see what's going on in the news.
11:34
And I know it's so easy to do.
11:36
I get caught in this web as well, where I can go to bed and I think,
11:39
oh, I'm going to do my lovely nighttime ritual.
11:41
And before you know it, I start answering emails and texts.
11:44
So this is something I really have to push myself to do.
11:48
And when I do it, my body, my subconscious, my mind, my sleep is so thankful for it.
11:54
So dim the lights, put your phone away on, do not disturb,
11:57
ideally on the other side of the room if you can light
12:01
a candle if you like and make your bedroom
12:04
a sacred space so this is like it's your
12:08
dream portal you are creating the
12:11
energy if your energy around you and your space around you is matching what
12:16
you're trying to tell your subconscious you are already halfway there you put
12:19
the candle on you dim the lights you put your phone away you will already feel
12:23
calm you will already feel happier and lighter this is going to really help
12:27
you step into your nighttime ritual.
12:30
So step two is to drop into the feeling. What I'm going to ask you to do is
12:35
to place one hand on your heart and one on your tummy.
12:39
Close your eyes and take a deep breath and imagine just for a second your future
12:45
self, the version of you who already has everything you desire.
12:50
Feel for a minute what it would be like to be her. You are her.
12:55
Just imagine that and just do some deep breathing as you're holding onto your heart.
13:00
And then I want you to repeat this affirmation.
13:03
Say this powerful affirmation with deep emotion.
13:08
Feel it, breathe and relax into it.
13:12
Repeat this slowly. I am safe to receive everything I desire.
13:20
I am safe to receive everything I desire.
13:26
Say it a few times, let it sink in, breathe it in.
13:31
This is your new belief. This is what you are imprinting onto your subconscious before you go to sleep.
13:39
I am safe to receive everything I desire.
13:43
So telling the universe, telling yourself, telling your
13:45
nervous system that you are safe to receive it may
13:49
be such a simple statement but you're actually saying I
13:52
am safe I am not worried about my bills
13:55
I am not worried about all of the things that I didn't get done today or that
13:59
I feel like I didn't achieve you're basically saying I'm safe I release all
14:04
of those worries I'm ready to receive everything I desire it's such a simple
14:08
statement that before bedtime can absolutely change your manifesting gain.
14:14
So let those words wrap around you like a lovely warm blanket.
14:19
Allow yourself to feel safe. And this affirmation, it's not about hoping or
14:25
wishing, it's about acknowledging you are in a safe place to receive.
14:29
The other thing I want you to do, if you need to do it, and it's another powerful
14:34
statement, you can do either one of these depending on your moods.
14:38
If you are worrying about a certain thing in your life at the moment,
14:43
whether that's worrying that you're never going to meet your soulmate or trying
14:46
to get your ex back or whether your new business idea is going to work,
14:51
if there is something that is really, really bothering you,
14:54
rather than closing your eyes and trying to visualize everything before bedtime,
14:58
because sometimes this can feel like hard work as well, I want
15:02
you to do this one thing instead and honestly I can
15:05
tell you this has absolutely changed the game for me rather
15:08
than trying to do everything to make it
15:11
work and to orchestrate it in the right way we're going
15:13
to talk about letting it go and letting it go before bedtime
15:17
and I want you to say this statement out loud if there is something in particular
15:22
that is causing you that's causing you worry that's causing you stress and that
15:28
it is causing you focus on your manifesting game to have kind of a desperation feel about it.
15:34
And I want you to say this, you can do your hand on heart again and say,
15:40
dear universe, I trust that this issue is already resolved.
15:48
Show me this issue is already resolved.
15:51
You can either do that whole statement or you can just do I trust that it's
15:56
resolved or I trust and show me that it's been resolved.
16:02
That statement is it's releasing all of your baggage and all of the desperation,
16:08
the anxiety around that thing that you desire.
16:11
It's handing it over to the universe and say show me,
16:15
show me this is taken care of and then you can
16:18
drop it you can release the load that you are carrying around
16:21
on your shoulders and you are instead handing it
16:24
over to the universe and they will
16:26
show you and then look out maybe look out for signs look
16:29
out for opportunities that align with that
16:32
desire because I guarantee you that will absolutely
16:36
shift something in your world now
16:39
if you want to take this nighttime routine further you can
16:42
use this time to say I am statements
16:46
affirmation I am positive statements that
16:49
align with your desires like I am magnetic
16:52
to miracles I am financially free I am always in the right place at the right
16:57
time I am love I attract love I am joy I attract joy with ease now whatever
17:06
those affirmations are we've spoken about affirmations before.
17:09
Make sure they align with your desires. But you can include this in the bedtime routine.
17:14
You can either do that one affirmation that we've spoken about.
17:18
But if you have time and you have 10 minutes or you have 15 minutes,
17:22
lay in your safe space with your dimmed light and your candle and your no phone action.
17:28
And just use this time to say some of those affirmations. Because
17:32
again this time before you go to sleep
17:35
your brain is receptive your brain is
17:38
impressionable use this time to imprint
17:41
absolutely beautiful wonderful positive statements into your subconscious now
17:47
these are the things that we want you to be doing before bedtime but there's
17:51
also that does come with that does come with a list of things what not to do
17:56
so things that could ruin your energy or this lovely energy that we're creating.
18:01
We've spoke about one of them already. And I think a lot of people do the doom
18:04
scrolling. You know, we like a little Instagram scroll, don't we, before bedtime.
18:09
So really, if you can, just step away from that habit and replace it.
18:14
Replace it with reading a book or replace it with your visualizations or your affirmations.
18:21
Also to avoid before bedtime, any bright lights. We've spoken about dimming the light.
18:26
So just make sure when you step into that bedroom and it's I'd say even half
18:30
an hour before you go to bed just make sure those lights are dimmed or the main
18:34
lights are off and you've lit your candle or you've put a lamp on.
18:38
Lighting is very very important.
18:41
If you're watching the TV, try not to watch anything before bed that's too stressful,
18:46
too scary, too chaotic, whether it's one of these crime dramas or whatever it
18:52
is, something that's too engaging
18:54
as well and too hectic, that can really imprint on your subconscious.
18:58
And you really feel like you might be watching a lovely series or a drama or a documentary.
19:03
But actually, remember what happens before those 10 minutes before bed are imprinting
19:10
onto your subconscious.
19:12
The other thing to do we've spoken about kind of
19:15
not revisit not revisiting worries from the
19:18
day but what can often happen before bedtime
19:21
is we revisit negative conversations or
19:25
just replaying the day's failures this has nothing positive this brings nothing
19:32
positive to your brain to your life to your energy at all all this does is want
19:37
to attract into your subconscious and attract into your life,
19:41
more reasons for negative conversations the following day,
19:44
negative experiences the next day.
19:47
And I think it's, I think it can be difficult if you've had a day or you've
19:51
had meetings where you feel like didn't go well, or someone said something to
19:54
you didn't like, replaying over and over and over is not going to change the outcome.
19:59
So what I would suggest you do is that earlier in the day, maybe think about
20:04
it, take yourself through it once and then think that is what it is.
20:08
That is what it is if you want to you can replay in your head how you would
20:13
like it to go that happened again a more positive ending to that conversation
20:18
or those worries of things that happened.
20:20
But don't replay. This is wasted negative energy.
20:24
And especially, especially do not replay them before you go to bed.
20:29
This is like a cleansing of the mind at bedtime.
20:33
Imagine you are not taking any of your heavy load, any of your weight,
20:38
any of your worries that you are carrying around. You are not taking that into
20:42
the bedroom and into your sleep area.
20:45
Remember, it's a sacred space.
20:48
Keep it sacred. keep it lovely keep
20:51
it calm keep it clean keep it tidy this
20:55
is your sanctuary your sanctuary where your
20:58
subconscious is going to manifest whilst it
21:01
sleeps and remember once you start to
21:04
drift off closer to sleep remember this you don't have to have it all you don't
21:11
have to have it all figured out it is not your job today you don't have to have
21:16
finished your to-do list you don't need to be thinking about all the things you haven't done.
21:23
Your job when you are drifting off to sleep is to believe, to receive and to rest.
21:31
If you're thinking about your to-do list, that is going to be your energy when
21:35
you wake up in the morning.
21:37
You'll be waking up and thinking, I have so much to do.
21:39
Instead, with your to-do list, let's create a night time to-do list.
21:44
Your to-do list when you go into bed and go to sleep.
21:49
Your to-do list, are you ready for this? You're going to love this.
21:53
Your to-do list is to rest.
21:57
That moves to the top of your priority list.
22:01
Nothing else on your list matters. It is important for you.
22:05
So I am telling you, I'm giving you permission that the only thing you need
22:09
to do when you get into bed is to rest.
22:12
And that is just as important as all the actions and the tasks that you need to achieve the next day.
22:19
Or all of the things that didn't go quite right for you today.
22:22
Your only thing you have to do before you go to bed is rest.
22:28
Remember your subconscious is listening and it is ready to lead you into the
22:34
version of reality where you already have everything you've dreamed of.
22:40
Now if you calm your brain before bedtime it's likely you might be dreaming
22:45
happier, they're calmer, more relaxing things.
22:49
That all adds up to your visualizations, your manifestations,
22:52
and the most important bit, we've touched upon it, but it is resetting your
22:57
energy for the next day. You will wake up energized.
23:01
You will wake up feeling more calm, more relaxed, more ready for your day.
23:06
And what is that going to do in turn?
23:08
In turn, that energy is going to attract in all of the things that match your
23:15
frequency and match that beautiful calm energy.
23:17
Can you imagine now for a minute that you are adopting this new nighttime routine,
23:23
this bedtime ritual, this bedtime affirmation?
23:27
Imagine how your days can look so different it's not just
23:30
about getting the lovely rest yes that's important yes
23:33
that's top of your to-do list but it's also what
23:36
you are going to attract in with that energy the next day reprogramming your
23:40
brain for the next day your rest and your nighttime ritual is reprogramming
23:45
so that when you get up tomorrow you are in a great energy and you get off on
23:49
the front foot and you go full guns blazing into your day to attract in your desires.
23:56
So tonight, I am giving you permission to let go, relax, rest,
24:01
and let the universe do the heavy lifting whilst you sleep.
24:06
Now, if you want to listen to this episode whilst you are going to sleep,
24:11
then I'm going to include a little few minutes here of a visualization.
24:15
A visualization just to kind of slow down your
24:18
nervous system and to get you into a
24:21
zone of kind of feeling chilled and happy in
24:24
order for you to create your nighttime ritual so if
24:28
you're listening to this in the day that's fine maybe maybe you
24:31
can pop this episode back on this evening or or
24:34
tomorrow night or whenever you're going to bed or every night
24:36
if you want to and listen to this few minutes I'm
24:39
going to help you into a guided nighttime visualization
24:43
so if you're driving and it's daytime and you're walking then you can just feel
24:48
this vibe and feel this energy but make sure at some point you listen to this
24:52
or at least rethink about this visualization when you go to sleep and to help
24:58
get you into that lovely calm state.
25:01
So let me guide you deeper and you can do this if it is nighttime now and you
25:07
are getting into your nighttime ritual.
25:09
You can do this with your eyes closed as you lie in the bed.
