You're listening to the Manifestation Station podcast.
0:11
I'm your host, Holly Edwards, and together we can help create your magic.
0:22
Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Manifestation Station.
0:28
Welcome back. Thank you for joining. We've got a load of new listeners. I can't believe it.
0:35
I jumped on the other day to have a look at the stats.
0:38
I actually get sent the statistics for the podcast and it's actually really
0:43
nice. You guys are phenomenal.
0:46
It just creeps up every week, a few more listeners, but We've had a burst recently
0:51
and I just think it's so nice, so lovely, this wonderful manifesting community that we have.
1:00
And just all of you guys for reaching out and just going, hey,
1:04
because I sometimes, right, I kind of sit there and I think,
1:09
I can't believe there are people out there in the world, in the universe,
1:16
listening to the manifestation station who I've never met before.
1:19
And I'll get the odd message every now and again going, hiya,
1:22
I love this episode. I listen to it.
1:25
I listen to your podcast every week. And I'm like, wow, I've never met you.
1:29
And you're following along or you're getting something from this podcast.
1:35
Now, I am reaching out to every single one of you and just giving you a little
1:40
bit of love, a little bit of sunshine today, sending you a little bit of positivity.
1:45
However we're feeling whatever we're dealing with whatever we're surviving right
1:50
now maybe you're thriving I'm just sending you a lovely manifestation hug,
1:56
a lovely thank you and a bit of gratitude from me and just to tell you all you
2:01
are smashing it you are smashing it even if you feel like you are swamped.
2:09
Swamped with a to-do list, swamped with bills or swamped with just things where
2:15
you think, how am I going to get out of this? If you're getting up each day,
2:20
Even if you're in your PJs, you're surviving. And actually, I have to say,
2:24
I can't remember if I said this last week or not, I must have baby brain because,
2:29
one is pregnant at the moment, but I've actually even forgotten what I was going to say.
2:34
Does that mean I have got baby brain? I'm assuming it does.
2:38
Oh my God, I'll come back to that. Anyway, it was something really great.
2:41
Oh, it was about surviving.
2:42
I think I did mention it, but anyway, I've been quite, quite sicky quite sicky
2:48
with my pregnancy that's an understatement but I'm being positive today so I'm
2:52
not going to bore you with it,
2:54
but I do feel like I've been a bit in survival mode and I think it's really
2:58
interesting because with everything that I do it's giving gratitude it's trying
3:02
to be positive and it's journaling and it's,
3:04
manifesting and you know doing all of these things to improve your life I think
3:08
it's really important about the fact,
3:10
that we talk about there There are times in life, there are seasons in life
3:15
where we just have to simply ride out these storms.
3:18
And I have very much...
3:20
Been left in a state of just survival mode getting through each day feeling very poorly,
3:26
and it's very hard to feel very grateful in one sense and to feel very poorly
3:31
in the other and I have been in survival mode and I think this is something
3:35
we should speak about because in fact why am I not doing an episode on this must do it next week.
3:40
But yeah there are times when you're not going to feel very inspired and it's
3:46
easy to manifest isn't it when everything's going well,
3:49
but also real life hits and no matter how good of a manifester you are real
3:54
life still hits and there might be times where you have to really dig deep and
3:58
all you can do is actually get through each day.
4:01
And if that's you at the moment I just want to let you know that one that is very normal,
4:07
two you are human that is life even if you are the most positive person ever
4:12
life will still throw things at you where you feel like all you can do is just,
4:16
I don't know barely put one foot in front of the other, but we just survive.
4:20
And that's where I found it really, really positive to dig out some of my kind
4:29
of manifesting and positivity tools, because all I've been able to do is almost like the bare minimum.
4:35
What can I do today to make myself smile?
4:38
What can I do to be kind on myself today?
4:41
And those times you're not going to be able to maybe journal and do your vision
4:44
boards and be really proactive,
4:47
but it's really important not to beat yourself up in those moments not to feel
4:53
like you're lazy or you're not being successful or that you're not enough,
4:58
that is my opening intro today that has come from the heart that is not in my
5:03
notes at all for today's episode it's kind of got nothing to do with today's
5:06
episode however it has got to do with everything right now because I like to bring you
5:11
all the news from the present where I'm at what I'm doing, what you guys are doing.
5:16
So that's a little update from me.
5:18
But today, on to today's episode, we're talking about.
5:23
A little bit of an extension from when we ask for signs. Now,
5:29
this is one about, I mean, I love signs.
5:33
I love signs and synchronicities. I feel like I ask for signs.
5:37
I receive signs all the time. Signs and synchronicities show us that the kind
5:43
of, like the universe kind of shows us we're on the right path.
5:47
We're in tune. We're synchronized with the universe. we're synchronized with
5:51
our goals and our dreams and our manifestations but there's something more that
5:56
you can do and that's what we're talking about today and it's kind of to say,
6:00
either stop asking for signs or maybe let's just say don't only ask for signs
6:05
but actually start asking for specific guidance and this is why I wanted to
6:11
talk about something today because I'm.
6:14
So many of us including me like I say I love the signs and we say I don't know
6:19
maybe we say out loud universe,
6:21
if this is meant for me show me a sign let me hear this song or show me 11 11
6:27
on the clock or let me see a butterfly show me a yellow car,
6:31
and I do think asking for signs is great it's just that little nod from the
6:36
universe to say yep we're listening you're on the right track.
6:39
And I think those little synchronicities, they feel so magical.
6:44
But I want to take it one step further today, because instead of constantly asking, is this a sign?
6:52
Because sometimes what we do is we ask for a sign and then we go,
6:55
okay, cool. We've got that sign and we have a moment of kind of like endorphins
6:59
and dopamine and we go, yeah, we've got a sign. That's great. And then what do we do?
7:03
We just carry on doing the same old thing we've been doing all the time.
7:07
And actually we can do more now I hear from a lot of people that they say,
7:12
they've kind of got a bit of a dilemma or they're stuck on something in particular,
7:17
and so instead of asking for a sign we can actually ask like can you guide me
7:21
so instead of saying is this a sign,
7:24
we can start asking out loud can you guide me instead and I think it's such a.
7:30
Beautiful shift because yes a sign can reassure you but guidance can actually
7:37
move you move you forward move you into helping get yourself some answers it can help,
7:44
show you what to do next so it can help you see something maybe you weren't
7:49
seeing before it can help you,
7:52
perhaps like release something you've been holding back and it can help you,
7:57
to really like notice the magic that is already happening around you.
8:02
So instead of just asking for a sign, yes, it's actually opening up our eyes
8:06
and going, actually, I'm noticing magic because I am being guided.
8:12
And that's why today I'm going to give you four simple things that you can start asking for.
8:19
So these are kind of simple guidance affirmations, which will help you to kind
8:26
of get some answers get some guidance and help to,
8:31
those steps to appear so rather than you know you're on the staircase one step
8:35
at a time but just helps you just to create those next steps.
8:40
This is not complicated. It's not complicated. Just four simple steps.
8:44
I'm not going to help you at the end. We'll do a kind of ritual together.
8:47
And you can just pick one if you want.
8:50
Pick one, whichever one feels relevant to you. You can save this episode,
8:54
come back to it, do one of the other ones, re-listen to it.
8:58
I am always here. This podcast episode will be forever in the podcast universe.
9:05
Will it? I don't know. Will it ever delete? I don't know. hopefully not hopefully
9:08
you'll be listening to this in like 100 years time thinking who is this crazy
9:12
woman on this podcast anyway,
9:15
let's get into it number one is to specifically ask to be guided so this is
9:20
so simple you can't get this one wrong and actually it might be just the only one that you ever need,
9:29
so in the morning you can say this.
9:34
I give my guides full permission to work in every area of my life today.
9:41
Show me what I need to guide me towards the next right step.
9:45
Now, I'm going to repeat that because you might be going, ah,
9:48
Holly, I can't remember it. Or I'm driving or I'm walking.
9:51
You can say something along these lines. But, you know, it's known whether you
9:55
believe in spirit guides or you believe in the universe or if you're religious,
10:00
there's this idea that we're being guided.
10:02
Whether you believe you're being guided by guardian angels or people from,
10:07
you know, relatives who have passed, we are being guided.
10:12
This is why I say I give my guides. Imagine you're being guided.
10:15
So whether that's the universe or someone or a guardian angel,
10:18
I'm going to say it again.
10:20
I give my guides full permission to work in every area of my life today.
10:26
Show me what I need to guide me towards my next right step.
10:33
Now, what I love about this is you are opening up your mind to possibility.
10:41
We're not just saying, give me a sign that everything's okay today.
10:44
I'm giving my guides full permission to work in every area of my life today.
10:50
Show me what I need to know and guide me towards my next right step.
10:56
Show me. It's like, show me the way. Rather than just a sign,
11:00
a yellow car, a butterfly, show me the way. And that's it.
11:05
You could just say, you know, if guides aren't your thing, you don't believe
11:09
in guardian angels or people guiding you, you could just say,
11:11
universe, guide me today.
11:14
Higher self, guide me today. Life, show me what I need to know.
11:18
Whatever feels natural to you that is kind of along the lines of that first statement.
11:24
The important thing with it is actually the intention behind it.
11:28
You're basically saying to yourself, to your brain, to your mindset,
11:32
to your subconscious and to the universe, I am open.
11:36
I am open to ideas. I'm open to opportunities, to conversations.
11:42
I am open to things changing. I am open to being redirected.
11:48
Or maybe just I am open to seeing something differently.
11:52
And then all you have to do is not look for your yellow car not look for your
11:57
butterfly not look for your feather all you need to do is get on with your day it's that simple,
12:03
and this is the bit I think sometimes we can go wrong we ask for guidance and
12:07
then we spend the next next six hours going oh my god where is it what was that
12:12
it was that the sign is this the thing like come on universe where are you and actually,
12:17
what happens is we're honing so much,
12:21
on the sign or the thing that actually what we're not doing is broadening our,
12:27
horizons and opening up our eyes to the guidance that may be kind of landing into our laps,
12:35
the ideas that might come to you the people that may be around you rather than
12:40
closing off everything and looking for this sign,
12:43
so it's about you being open, it's asking to be guided and then letting go.
12:49
Guidance, it won't always arrive dramatically. It won't always arrive where
12:55
you go, oh my gosh, this is an absolute striking sign from the universe.
13:02
It might be a thought that pops into your head, a conversation, an email.
13:07
Maybe someone mentioning something at the exact right time, a door opening or even closing.
13:13
Or it might be something you've been thinking about for weeks,
13:16
suddenly becoming incredibly clear.
13:19
And actually, we should talk about this as a whole, because I think with manifestation,
13:24
sometimes we put on our vision boards what it is that we want to manifest.
13:29
We think about it, we focus on it, we give it positivity and gratitude.
13:33
Sometimes we have to remember that the universe delivering our manifestation
13:38
could be an idea that comes to you.
13:41
It may be when you're out walking, you might think, oh, do you know what?
13:44
I should email that person about that job or that guy I met the other day.
13:48
Maybe I should get in touch with him. Or maybe this idea of something that you've
13:52
been thinking about writing a book or starting a side hustle.
13:56
The universe will plant ideas into
13:59
your head as a way of helping those manifestations to come to fruition.
14:04
So it's up to you and it's your job to hone in on those. If you're asking for
14:08
guidance and you get an idea, perhaps go with it.
14:11
And sometimes it might be obvious you might get obvious synchronicities and
14:16
I do love signs like love signs and synchronicities you might hear a song you'll
14:21
see your magical number and you get the sign but what I don't want you to do,
14:26
is to become so obsessed with the sign that you actually miss the guidance so
14:31
that's the difference that's my little pocket of advice for you today.
14:37
Now, number two, step two, I want you to ask to see what you're not seeing.
14:42
So it's one of my favorite questions because sometimes we don't actually need something new.
14:47
We need to see what is already there, already available for us.
14:52
So I want you to ask out loud. You can do this in the morning or you can do
14:55
this any time of day. You can do it now. You can pause me and say,
14:59
show me what I am not seeing.
15:02
Show me what I am not seeing. And that is such a powerful sentence because maybe
15:09
you're convinced there are no opportunities. It feels stagnant.
15:13
It feels like you're stuck.
15:15
But maybe there are opportunities there, but they don't look the way that you expected them to look.
15:21
Maybe you're convinced you don't have enough money. Maybe there are ways of
15:25
creating more money that you haven't even considered. Or maybe you just batted
15:31
off and thinking, no, that's not for me.
15:33
Maybe you think someone doesn't like you maybe you've actually just interpreted
15:38
something incorrectly this happened to a friend of mine recently who said oh
15:41
this guy's not interested they've been I think they've had one or two dates
15:46
and she went no they're not interested in me they've said this and I'm too busy
15:49
to date and actually once we got into it I was like that's not what these messages
15:54
say at all I think you've interpreted this wrong,
15:57
and I think it was a.
15:59
Past thoughts on love and relationships into this one and thinking actually
16:04
what he's saying there is he's writing me off, he's having a go and actually
16:09
it wasn't the case at all. So this opportunity of meeting this guy was still there.
16:13
So maybe you think you're stuck but maybe there is actually a door right in
16:17
front of you but maybe you're staring at the wall beside it instead of the door,
16:22
and I think that's one of the most beautiful things about asking for guidance.
16:26
You're not saying give me the answer I want you're saying show me what I'm missing,
16:31
show me what is under my nose what am I not seeing here,
16:35
can you see the difference in that because we become so attached to the outcome
16:41
we want that sometimes we stop being curious,
16:44
we decide that this has to happen or this person has to be the one or this job
16:49
has to be done and this is the only way to do it,
16:52
and then something doesn't happen and we think well it's not working but perhaps the guidance is,
17:00
look over here maybe there's another way maybe there's something better maybe
17:04
there's something you haven't thought of yet maybe you thought it was rejection
17:09
you know me my favorite quote maybe what you thought was rejection was actually redirection,
17:15
now I talk about that phrase all the time but I genuinely think it's one of the most.
17:20
It's one of the most powerful manifestation beliefs out there.
17:25
Sometimes the closed door is information. Sometimes the closed door is the answer that you need.
17:32
Maybe the ghosting from the person that you like is the exact answer that you
17:36
need. Maybe that's the closure you need.
17:40
It doesn't mean you're not worthy. It doesn't mean you've done your manifestation wrong.
17:45
All it means simply that that's not the way.
17:49
And that is guidance too so remember any doors closing is also guidance too,
17:55
number three what I want you to do is to ask for the blocks to be revealed now
18:00
this one we're kind of going a little bit deeper so I hope you're still with
18:03
me I hope you're still feeling inspired we're just going to go that little little little bit deeper now,
18:10
because we often ask like universe bring me the thing bring me that dream that
18:14
goal that I'm manifesting.
18:17
But sometimes the more powerful question is what is getting in the way of me receiving the thing,
18:25
and it's about looking for noticing and removing the blocks,
18:31
so in terms of today's episode and asking for guidance there is another statement
18:36
that you can say so if you feel like there is something blocking you or maybe
18:40
you don't know why your manifestation isn't happening,
18:43
you can do this thing and you can ask this thing for the blocks to be revealed.
18:48
You could say, universe, dissolve the beliefs quietly keeping me from the life
18:55
I am meant for and show me what I need to release.
18:59
I know that's a mouthful so I'm going to repeat that for you again.
19:04
Also, you could just say something similar to this. So, universe,
19:08
dissolve the beliefs, quietly keeping me from the life I am meant for,
19:15
and show me what I need to release.
19:19
And I love this because we're not asking to be perfect. We're just saying,
19:23
I must have absolutely no limiting beliefs before I can manifest.
19:29
And I think this is a lot of the times when if your manifestation you feel like
19:33
it's stuck and it's not happening sometimes we have these limiting beliefs but
19:38
they are such core beliefs that we just think they're normal and that's how we're made up but,
19:43
if you were brought up and you didn't see perhaps a strong loving relationship around you
19:51
perhaps you always feel like you've been rejected and you've never been chosen
19:55
you might carry this limiting belief which is I'm never chosen I'm never good
19:59
enough even if you're going yeah but hold on I'm going out on dates and I'm
20:03
giving out love what's going on
20:05
if we still have a limiting belief in there to feel to kind of say that we're not worthy of love,
20:11
then you could be blocking your manifestation and what I love about this you're just saying,
20:15
look universe help me dissolve these beliefs that are keeping me from the life that I'm meant for.
20:22
So we're not saying I must have absolutely no limiting beliefs before I can manifest.
20:27
Because honestly, we're human.
20:29
I always say this all the time. We're human. We're all going to have our own
20:32
fears, doubts, and we're going to have things that some people might struggle
20:35
with money more. Some people might struggle with love more.
20:40
We're going to have days where we think, who am I to do this?
20:45
Or this probably won't work. The point isn't to never think a negative thought.
20:50
The point is to notice the thoughts that are running the show.
20:55
So this is not getting rid of all negative thoughts, all limiting beliefs,
20:59
you're human, but it's about working through them. And you're kind of asking
21:03
at this point to notice the thoughts that are running the show.
21:06
So maybe you're trying to manifest more money but if you're constantly saying
21:11
I can't afford that maybe you're trying to grow a business but every time an
21:16
opportunity comes up you think.
21:18
You get a bit nervous you think oh do you know what I'm just not ready maybe
21:23
you're the person that is looking for love but deep down maybe you think well
21:28
do you know what what's the point people always leave me,
21:31
maybe you want to put yourself out there but you are terrified of being rejected,
21:37
so if any of these resonate with you or something similar just ask show me the
21:43
belief underneath this and then don't judge what you find just notice it,
21:47
this awareness will give you a choice you can say oh do you know what that's
21:52
why I keep doing that because of this underlying belief and once you see it,
21:58
that's when you can work on start changing it and sometimes the manifestation,
22:03
isn't about bringing something into your life.
22:06
It's about becoming available for something that was always possible.
22:12
So this is helping to release those limiting beliefs and to kind of get you
22:17
to hone in and open your eyes into why you might believe a certain way.
22:22
And then you'll notice what can I do to slowly change that.
22:28
Step number four, final, final step number four, I want you to ask to see the miracles.
22:36
Oh, this is my absolute favorite because I think we can become so obsessed with the big,
22:45
big manifestation that we completely miss the tiny specks of magic happening in every single day.
22:54
And I do believe that miracles exist in every single day, but are we open to seeing them?
23:01
Are we noticing them? Are we giving them enough attention?
23:05
So I want you to say this. Remember, this whole episode is about asking for guidance.
23:11
So I want you to say, universe, show me the miracles already surrounding me
23:17
and teach me to notice them.
23:20
You're not asking for new miracles. we're not asking for our manifestation to
23:23
appear, we're not asking to
23:25
meet our soulmate or to have £100,000 in the bank, wouldn't that be nice?
23:29
All you're asking is show me the miracles already surrounding me and teach me to notice them.
23:35
I promise if you do this and you open yourself up,
23:39
you will start to see miracles every day, you will start to notice them the
23:43
more you notice them, what we focus on
23:46
it magnifies and it multiplies so the more we will see and the more miracles
23:52
that will arrive to us so I love that because,
23:56
what if your job today isn't to make something magical happen
24:01
what if it is simply to notice what already is do you see that all of these
24:07
steps today they're not about hard work they're not going off and
24:11
going right Holly like me telling you go on let's go and take action,
24:14
let's be proactive, get your journals out. These are really simple.
24:18
All you've got to do is notice what is already there. Now, this could be mini
24:23
miracles, like somebody sends you a message at the exact right moment.
24:28
Maybe, I don't know, maybe you need
24:30
a bit of kindness, you need a bit of nurturing, you need a bit of love.
24:33
Maybe a lovely friend drops you a message at the exact right moment. That's a mini miracle.
24:39
Maybe you have an idea that changes your entire perspective.
24:43
So maybe an idea comes for you and it might change the way that you look at something.
24:47
That could be a relationship that you're finding traumatic or a breakup and
24:51
perhaps an idea comes to you that you think you know what actually this gives me some peace,
24:57
maybe you bump into someone you haven't seen in years mini miracle,
25:02
maybe something you thought was going to be difficult turns out to be easy so
25:06
maybe I don't know maybe you've got a meeting today and you've been worrying
25:10
about it and you've been doing notes and maybe a presentation actually it's
25:14
turned out to be quite easy.
25:16
Maybe you were going to have a difficult conversation with a loved one,
25:19
a family member, a partner, and you thought, actually, that was a lot easier
25:23
than I thought. That's another mini miracle.
25:27
Maybe you simply wake up feeling happier today or tomorrow.
25:32
Mini miracle. Thank you, universe, for showing me that miracle.
25:36
Maybe you notice how beautiful the sky is. You notice the butterflies in your
25:41
garden these moments of beauty throughout the day mini miracles perhaps this
25:47
is your answers that look notice the beauty around you.
25:52
Maybe someone at work makes you laugh so hard.
25:55
Is that not just the best thing when you are laughing so hard with someone that
26:00
you love that your stomach hurts? And you know, you look at someone when you
26:03
are laughing that much. And in that moment, you think, oh my God, I love you so much.
26:09
What a lovely moment. That's a mini miracle. That's a mini miracle right there.
26:14
Maybe something you wanted six months ago has quietly become normal in your life.
26:21
This is a big one because I think sometimes we forget that where you are right
26:27
now is what you were once trying to manifest.
26:30
If you've got a roof over your head, whether you're renting, whether you are,
26:34
a mortgage house owner, you know, whatever it is, maybe something you wanted
26:41
six months ago has quietly become normal,
26:44
and you are now once where you wanted to manifest,
26:48
I think we have to look back on this a lot and give credit and give gratitude
26:52
to the universe because actually that's a miracle in itself and we can already
26:56
tick that miracle box off today I'm certainly,
27:00
in this situation I think when I'm saying this aloud to you I think actually
27:05
you know I've been in survival mode recently
27:07
but let's face it there was a
27:10
time when I was training to become a makeup artist to work in film and tv.
27:16
And it's quite a difficult business to get into. I now have worked very gratefully,
27:23
have worked on big TV shows.
27:26
I've filmed around the world. I've worked with amazing Hollywood actors and
27:31
directors. And actually, that has become my normal.
27:34
And just reading this out aloud to you from my notes, maybe something you wanted
27:38
six months ago has become normal.
27:41
I mean, how great is that? when you think about it I just think,
27:46
I don't know it's actually suddenly made me really reflective when I think about
27:51
that for a moment actually these are miracles that maybe,
27:56
I've I'm not open to at the moment or that I'm not noticing,
28:01
and yeah you can hear probably in my voice I'm suddenly like wow that's actually
28:05
quite amazing isn't it and there's other things you know I am now seven months pregnant.
28:12
And whilst I'm in survival mode, I'm like, you know, there was a point where
28:15
I was manifesting, come on, this is what I want now. I want a baby.
28:19
I want a, you know, a baby with my partner.
28:22
And that's a miracle in itself. I am now what I was manifesting.
28:27
So can we all think about that for a moment and just think if there's something
28:30
that's quietly become normal in your life, that is maybe something you wanted six months ago.
28:36
All of those things matter and I think the more we train ourselves to notice
28:41
them the more magical life starts to feel because what you give your attention to it grows.
28:48
If you spend all day looking for what's wrong your brain will become incredibly good,
28:55
at finding what's wrong proving to you that you're right yes you're right everything
29:00
is wrong Holly your brain is going to back you up but if you start looking for
29:04
what's going right and you'll start looking at these mini miracles,
29:08
you will start noticing that too and I'm not talking about pretending that everything
29:13
is perfect you can have a terrible day and still notice one beautiful thing in that day,
29:19
you can be sad and still notice something that you're grateful for and this
29:23
is how I opened the episode today that I've been in survival mode,
29:28
but I've been trying to dig deep and just finding what I can be grateful for,
29:33
what I can be, what I can provide myself to be kind for the day.
29:38
You could be stressed and still notice a moment of magic.
29:41
So just because you're stressed, you're tired, you're sad, you're stuck,
29:45
doesn't mean you can't notice magic in a moment.
29:49
And that's what I want you to remember. It's not toxic positivity.
29:53
It's simply expanding what you're paying attention to.
29:59
So what does this guidance actually look like? Because if I tell you,
30:03
ask for guidance, you might think, okay, but how do I know what that guidance
30:09
actually is? And this is where I just want you to relax.
30:13
I want you to ease into this. And you don't need to become a psychic overnight.
30:18
You're not going to wake up tomorrow and go, oh my God, I'm enlightened and
30:22
this is what I'm going to do.
30:23
And, you know, please don't start thinking that every time you see 11-11,
30:29
it means you need to make a life decision.
30:31
I love an 11-11 on the clock. I'm not going to lie. I find that an 11-11 or
30:36
a 1-1-1-1, I find that sometimes it's just a little nod.
30:41
We're here, Holly. We got you. We've got your back. You're on the right path.
30:46
But we can actually ask for proper guidance, you know.
30:50
And I still do love sign. I'm not going to pretend I don't love sign.
30:54
If you know me in real life, I'm always looking for signs. I love a sign.
30:58
But I hope you can realize how this asking for guidance is just that little bit deeper.
31:05
And it's that thing of kind of saying, is there something here I'm being invited to notice?
31:12
So if you do get something of, you know, what you think might be a sign,
31:17
just see if there's like a connection to that.
31:19
Maybe, for example, let's think about this guidance thing.
31:24
Maybe something happens and you just know it caught your attention for a reason.
31:30
So what is it telling you? What is it that you've noticed? And see what guidance could be in that.
31:35
Maybe someone says something that you've been thinking about and you kind of
31:39
go, that's weird. I've been thinking about doing that.
31:41
I've been thinking about joining that class. I've been thinking about going to that lecture.
31:46
I've been thinking about, I don't know, paying for some lessons in something.
31:51
Maybe an opportunity appears three times to you. That would be like,
31:55
hello, the universe is trying to guide you on something.
31:59
Maybe you keep coming back to the same idea. Maybe you suddenly feel pulled towards something.
32:05
Maybe even you feel a very strong no about something you previously wanted.
32:12
And I think this is why it's really important to keep coming back and checking
32:16
in with our manifestations. Because sometimes we have an idea of what our vision
32:21
is and what we want to manifest.
32:22
But it doesn't mean those things don't change. and sometimes we go well I've
32:25
got to keep working on that because that's the thing that I said I wanted to manifest in January,
32:30
but if you're feeling a really strong no about something you previously wanted,
32:36
maybe that's a guiding feeling of like hey look we just need to change your direction and,
32:44
maybe if you've got a quiet feeling that says like try this and you can't explain
32:48
it you don't know why, you don't know what it will lead to,
32:52
then that's when maybe just take a pause.
32:54
You don't necessarily need to act on everything, just pause and ask,
32:58
is there something here I'm being invited to notice?
33:02
That's all you need to ask. That question alone can change the way that you move through life.
33:08
So stop looking for the answer and start looking for the next step.
33:12
This is what I really want you to remember. You don't need to have your entire
33:16
plan mapped out. You don't need to be guided to know how you're getting from A to Z.
33:22
You just need the next step. That's all you need. So if you're feeling completely
33:26
overwhelmed about something in life, don't ask, how am I going to fix everything?
33:31
Just ask, what is my next right step?
33:35
Is that picking up the phone and making a phone call? is it sending an email
33:39
starting up a conversation maybe it's applying for something maybe it's saying
33:44
no to something that you don't want to do maybe it's saying yes,
33:48
maybe it's doing something you've been putting off and sometimes the next step
33:53
is to rest it's that simple it doesn't always mean it's high intense action,
33:59
we're so obsessed with action aren't we and yes we have to action our manifestations
34:03
do more work hard and make it happen but sometimes,
34:06
sometimes guidance is just saying stop rest wait and think for a moment let
34:12
something unfold and that can still be movement too.
34:17
So your simple daily practice, I would love you to try this.
34:22
I'm going to make it incredibly easy for you. So tomorrow morning,
34:26
before you reach for your phone, just take a deep breath in and say,
34:31
I am open to guidance today.
34:33
Show me what I need to know and guide me towards my next right step.
34:38
Then choose one of these questions. You can either say, show me what I'm not
34:43
seeing or show me what I need to release.
34:47
Or show me the miracles already surrounding me and then go about your day that
34:52
is it you don't need to spend an hour meditating you don't need to sit waiting for a sign,
34:58
just become a little bit more observant a little bit more open a little bit more curious,
35:05
and at the end of the day like ask yourself just check in with yourself and
35:08
say like what did I notice today,
35:10
not did I get my sign just what did I notice and just make a note a mental note
35:17
or write it down is there something you noticed about yourself an opportunity,
35:21
maybe notice something you need to let go of or you need to shift that's okay
35:26
this isn't a test it's just a simple little practice,
35:30
you don't have to force the magic this is just about trusting yourself asking
35:36
for guidance and trusting the universe.
35:39
All we need to know is, are you open and are you listening? It is that simple.
35:48
So thank you so much for spending the time with me today on the manifestation station.
35:55
Remember, you don't need to know the whole path. You don't need every answer.
35:58
You don't need the sign that you think you needed. You just need to be open to the next right thing.
36:04
