• 1:32

  Now, if your life was just la la la skipping
• 1:38
  around very happy manifesting my dream life

  every single day no one is going to watch

• 2:11
  Now, if you're new, welcome to the manifestation station.
• 2:15
  If you, I was going to say if you're old, I don't think that's the way to say
• 2:19
  it. If you are an OG listener, welcome back. Here we go today.
• 2:24
  Manifestation is not meant to feel heavy, guys, just in case you've ever wondered
• 2:29
  it is it does take work that's one thing I would say but it's supposed to feel
• 2:35
  magnetic and fun and expansive now I'm excited today I can actually hear it in my own voice,
• 2:43
  And I know why. The sun is out in the United Kingdom.
• 2:48
  It is March and spring is in the air.
• 2:52
  And I have moved my podcast station today into my lovely new kitchen.
• 2:57
  I have the back doors open. I actually have the oven on because I'm cooking some lunch.
• 3:03
  So if you can hear a general hum, that is my oven. If you can hear the birds,
• 3:08
  I apologize, but we are excited. And us Brits will have the doors open and we
• 3:14
  will sit outside and soak up every little piece of sunshine.
• 3:18
  And today's episode is about a manifestation technique that works for me every time.
• 3:26
  And it's a bit of a game that you can have with the universe.
• 3:30
  And I always say to you that the universe and manifestation thrives on fun.
• 3:37
  Anything that you can do to make your manifestation journey feel fun and excited.
• 3:43
  I was just about to hiccup then. I think it was because I was so excited.
• 3:46
  Anything that you can do to make it feel fun and exciting, this will elevate
• 3:51
  your manifestation game.
• 3:53
  And that's why today's episode is about a technique that I absolutely love because
• 4:00
  it combines three of my favorite things.
• 4:04
  Visualization, playfulness, and with that comes a tangible proof that you believe in your future.
• 4:14
  Now, when we talk about manifesting, we talk about believing that your desire is already yours.
• 4:21
  That's how we manifest and that's how we visualize.
• 4:25
  And today we're talking about a game that you can go out and play,
• 4:31
  after you've listened to me, after you've switched me off, a game that you can
• 4:34
  go out and play to help manifest your dream faster.
• 4:38
  And we're talking about buying the sign before the manifestation arrives.
• 4:44
  This means going out and buying an object, a symbol, like something that represents
• 4:51
  the life that you are trying to call in.
• 4:54
  Because there is something incredibly powerful about holding something in your
• 5:00
  hands that says, this is already on its way to me.
• 5:05
  An object that represents your future.
• 5:08
  And the funny thing is, when you do this, the universe responds and the universe responds fast.
• 5:17
  Now, I want to take you back to a story of mine. And it's actually when this
• 5:22
  technique came about for me.
• 5:24
  And it's something that I now bring into my regular manifestation practice.
• 5:28
  Now, a few years back, maybe say six, seven years ago, I was living on my own.
• 5:34
  I was single, living in a flat, paying my bills, you know, struggling,
• 5:40
  hustling, out there hustling, trying to pay my bills on my own.
• 5:44
  Really, really wanting to manifest the love of my life and the happy ever after
• 5:50
  that I'd always dreamt of.
• 5:52
  You know, I'd recently gone through heartbreak again
• 5:55
  in my 30s and I was like oh no not
• 5:59
  again but I was living
• 6:02
  alone single now I did love my flat and I was having a great
• 6:04
  time but I just wanted the happy ever after and I was already a manifester at
• 6:10
  this point and there were many amazing things that I'd already manifested I'd
• 6:14
  manifested an amazing career and loads of travel kind of things I should probably
• 6:20
  go through this at some point on an episode,
• 6:22
  the amount of travel that I've manifested and the amount of free holidays is just.
• 6:28
  Bonkers to me anyway so one
• 6:31
  day I was feeling a little a little bit low
• 6:34
  and a little bit sorry for myself a little
• 6:37
  bit single and it was
• 6:40
  a cold day in the UK and I went to a
• 6:43
  garden center walking around with my
• 6:45
  sister just for a wander and just to get out and
• 6:49
  we're walking around and we were talking about
• 6:52
  and this is my sister one of my sisters is kind of
• 6:54
  like my manifesting partner and we bounce ideas off
• 6:57
  of each other and we help each other manifest and
• 7:01
  we're walking around this garden center and
• 7:04
  I picked up these giant metal keys
• 7:07
  they were like decorative keys on a ring kind of like a bit like an old school
• 7:12
  like secret garden set of keys they were for obviously some kind of decoration
• 7:17
  it kind of looked like they belong in the garden or in a house or something
• 7:21
  like that and I just fell in love with them I fell in love with them and.
• 7:27
  From what I remember these keys were quite expensive or everything in the shop
• 7:31
  was expensive and I remember thinking oh you know they're like 25 pounds and
• 7:36
  I'm trying to spend all of my you know hard-earned cash on paying my bills I
• 7:40
  really don't have money for a set of keys like this and why do I need them,
• 7:45
  And I was chatting to my sister and she was like, I really think you should get these keys.
• 7:49
  You love them. And I was walking around and I was like, I feel like I could
• 7:54
  put these up in my new house.
• 7:56
  Like when I get my happy ever after, I feel like I can like display them proudly in my house.
• 8:05
  I just, I fell in love with them. My sister was like, you need to buy those keys.
• 8:09
  You need to buy those keys and you need to display them in your flat and you
• 8:14
  need to get them out when you move into your dream home, display them proudly,
• 8:19
  and look at them knowing that you visualized and got to that end goal of your manifestation.
• 8:25
  So I thought, oh, do you know what? Sod it.
• 8:28
  I'm absolutely going to buy those keys. And I thought, okay,
• 8:32
  I've got better things to spend £25 on at the moment, but sod it.
• 8:36
  I am going to do it. And like I
• 8:39
  say my happy ever after it was I just
• 8:42
  I wanted the partner I wanted the
• 8:45
  home together I wanted to feel safe with cozy evenings a garden fresh air and
• 8:53
  a home that just felt peaceful and magical and I'd imagine living there with
• 8:59
  the love of my life but realistically and I want to kind of tell you this,
• 9:04
  that in that reality, at that very time, it did feel very far away.
• 9:09
  So anyway, I took these keys to the desk and I said to the lady, I'll take these please.
• 9:18
  And she said, oh, that's weird. The tickets come off. And I said,
• 9:21
  oh, okay, that's strange. And she said, oh, don't worry. I think they're on offer anyway.
• 9:25
  And she put them through the till and she said,
• 9:28
  oh that's seven pounds please and I was like oh looked
• 9:31
  at my sister and I went I went really she went yeah yeah seven pounds I think
• 9:36
  and I said oh that's weird and even the woman seemed to be like oh that's strange
• 9:40
  they're on discount so it straight away felt like a bit of a magic in the air
• 9:46
  felt like the universe going go on then,
• 9:49
  Take those keys. And they became a symbol of what was coming.
• 9:54
  So I brought them. I was proud of them. I was happy with them. I took them home.
• 9:58
  And I put them up on a little display, like a little mantelpiece that I had in my flat.
• 10:03
  And every time I saw them, I imagined the day that I would hang them in my dream home.
• 10:10
  Now, do you want to know where those giant keys are now?
• 10:14
  They are hanging outside in my garden of my dream country cottage,
• 10:20
  the one that I share with my fiance.
• 10:23
  With the kind of in the exact life I had imagined, actually being honest,
• 10:28
  better than I had imagined.
• 10:31
  Now, does that not blow your mind? When I look back, these keys,
• 10:34
  so these keys are when you come into my back door and you come into my garden,
• 10:39
  my side entrance, they are proudly hung up there.
• 10:43
  And every time I look at them, they make me smile.
• 10:46
  I actually feel like I'm getting emotional talking about it.
• 10:49
  They make me smile because it reminds me of my journey.
• 10:52
  It reminds me of the hope that I had when I bought those keys.
• 10:56
  And it reminds me to remember that the outcome, it will come to you.
• 11:03
  Your desire will come to you all in good time. And you have no idea how it's
• 11:08
  going to unravel, when it's going to come.
• 11:10
  And if someone had given me a magic wand to go, let's have a little look into
• 11:14
  your future when I bought those keys, it would have been amazing. But we don't have that.
• 11:18
  And every time I see those keys, I go, manifestation is real.
• 11:24
  Manifestation is real. And you have to trust in your everyday,
• 11:28
  whatever you're doing, that everything is going to work out in your favor or even better.
• 11:34
  And I tell you why that this actually works because it isn't just about buying
• 11:39
  random stuff and hoping your life changes.
• 11:41
  This works because it activates several powerful manifestation principles all at once.
• 11:48
  So number one, it makes your vision tangible. When your dream only exists in
• 11:54
  your mind, it can feel really, really far away.
• 11:58
  But when you have something physical that represents it, and I also think something
• 12:02
  physical that makes you feel the joy, it becomes real.
• 12:07
  And your brain starts to say, oh, okay, we're doing this, are we?
• 12:13
  Secondly, it shifts your identity. So when I brought those keys,
• 12:17
  I wasn't thinking, I actually wasn't thinking like the girl struggling in her flat, single and alone.
• 12:23
  I was thinking of the woman who already had the cottage, who already had the
• 12:29
  fiance, who already had a fulfilling love.
• 12:33
  And manifestation responds to who you believe you are becoming.
• 12:38
  And also I think it's really important to remember that that
• 12:41
  day when I bought those keys I went out and
• 12:44
  I wasn't feeling particularly positive I was actually
• 12:47
  having a bit of a bummed out day I was feeling a bit
• 12:49
  flat and a bit sorry for myself yet something
• 12:53
  in me when I bought those keys something like sparked an
• 12:57
  excitement and a joy and a hope within
• 13:00
  me and that leads me on to my
• 13:03
  final point of why it works manifestation if manifestation
• 13:07
  is fun it supercharges your manifestations
• 13:10
  so one of the biggest mistakes people make with manifestation is they make it
• 13:15
  so heavy and serious and it's like rigid and it's stressful and it's desperate
• 13:20
  and it's like they're trying to force the universe's hand guy this is what i
• 13:25
  need and i'm gonna force its hand.
• 13:27
  It's like a game, like a co-creation. And when you start doing things like buying
• 13:34
  symbolic objects, the energy becomes instantly lighter and more magnetic.
• 13:39
  And the universe loves a symbol. Here's something fascinating.
• 13:44
  Humans, we have been using symbols for manifestation for thousands and thousands of years.
• 13:50
  Vision boards, lucky charms, wedding rings, even things like keys themselves
• 13:56
  are symbols of opening doors.
• 13:59
  So if you really think about it, when you buy something symbolic for your future,
• 14:04
  you're telling yourself, I'm taking this seriously.
• 14:08
  I am ready. It's a physical declaration of your belief of your future.
• 14:14
  And the belief, that belief, that hope, that excitement is the fuel for your manifestation.
• 14:22
  So let's think about this. Like if you're thinking, right, okay, what can I do?
• 14:25
  I hope you're feeling excited about what you can go off and buy now.
• 14:30
  Let's talk about some examples because this is where it gets really,
• 14:34
  really fun. And you could tell, I'm so excited for you to go and do this.
• 14:38
  I'm so excited for you to kind of do this trick or this game or this tool is
• 14:45
  so, honestly, it's so exciting.
• 14:47
  I don't know why I haven't done an episode on it sooner. you can
• 14:50
  do this with any manifestation so if you're wanting
• 14:54
  to manifest your dream home then obviously just
• 14:57
  like my giant keys you might buy something that represents your home or something
• 15:04
  that you can bring into your home like my keys you might buy a beautiful mug
• 15:08
  for your future kitchen maybe a house decoration like my keys or something that
• 15:14
  you're going to put up in your home when you move.
• 15:17
  Maybe it's a plant for your future garden.
• 15:20
  So even if your space is tiny, every time you see it, your brain remembers the
• 15:24
  life that you're creating.
• 15:26
  And actually, not that long ago, around this time last year, my partner, my fiance.
• 15:32
  Lovely Ben, he really wanted to put an extension, actually not an extension,
• 15:40
  but he just really wanted to create a dream kitchen for us.
• 15:44
  He's a very good cook. He's a very good chef.
• 15:47
  We like hosting. We're very sociable. And we had quite a small kitchen and quite
• 15:52
  a small dining area. So he was like, I really want to open it up.
• 15:55
  I want to be able to get out into the garden.
• 15:58
  And he went, do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take a bit of your
• 16:01
  manifesting advice, Holly. Can you believe it? Ben, following my manifesting advice.
• 16:07
  So when he was on his lunch break one day, he went out and he bought these two
• 16:14
  very lovely wooden bowls for the kitchen, a kitchen that didn't yet exist.
• 16:21
  And he said, I'm going to put these away in the cupboard and I am not going
• 16:25
  to use them until we have our dream kitchen.
• 16:27
  Now can I just say this wasn't we
• 16:31
  weren't in a position at that time to be
• 16:34
  planning a new kitchen to be
• 16:37
  kind of going ahead with that it was a bit of
• 16:39
  a I don't want to say a pipe dream because I believe anything is possible anyway
• 16:43
  but it wasn't that we were in the position to start our kitchen and then he's
• 16:46
  bought some bowls there was no way this kitchen was coming anytime soon anyway
• 16:51
  so he went and bought these bowls now six months later some amazing things happened
• 16:56
  at work we got our dream kitchen,
• 16:59
  We knocked down the wall. We opened up our back wall. So we had glass doors,
• 17:04
  which I'm looking at now, that go out into the garden, outdoor fireplace.
• 17:08
  It is our dream, dream kitchen.
• 17:11
  And do you know what he did? One of the first things he did,
• 17:14
  he unpacked our two big wooden bowls and he goes, there you go, manifested it.
• 17:19
  I was like, oh my God, it's like he's graduated from manifesting school.
• 17:23
  And it was just a lovely little example for today.
• 17:27
  So let's think about what else if you are manifesting love
• 17:31
  and you're manifesting a dream relationship you could
• 17:34
  buy things in pairs so I quite often say like
• 17:37
  a pair of mugs like his and hers or a second pillow for the bed or maybe like
• 17:42
  a kind of like a candle or a double candle or something like that a candle that
• 17:47
  you imagine lighting together and maybe you put that aside like my partner did
• 17:52
  and think when my partner is here,
• 17:54
  when my dream relationship has arrived, I'll light it.
• 17:57
  One of my friends bought a frame with two spaces for photos.
• 18:03
  One side was for her, the other side was empty.
• 18:06
  And she said, that's for him. And I guarantee you, no, not guarantee you,
• 18:10
  when I assure you that she met him six months later and she filled that frame.
• 18:15
  So I loved that example. So thank her for that one.
• 18:18
  If you are manifesting a dream job or maybe a new business or a successful side
• 18:23
  hustle, you could buy a beautiful notebook for writing your ideas.
• 18:29
  So go and get yourself a nice file of facts and a pen, something that you're
• 18:32
  going to note down all of your lovely business notes and
• 18:35
  maybe a work bag for your future office, maybe a fancy pen for signing contracts.
• 18:42
  Your mind will begin to operate from the identity of someone already living that life.
• 18:47
  If you just go and get that thing, and I don't want you to think that you have
• 18:50
  to go out and spend a load of money.
• 18:52
  Absolutely not. It's just something that signifies your future desire.
• 18:57
  Maybe you're manifesting travel. Are you manifesting travel?
• 19:00
  Are you manifesting your dream holiday?
• 19:03
  Why not buy something small from the place that you want to visit.
• 19:07
  So that could be like a luggage tag with the name of the country you want to
• 19:11
  visit. It could be a travel journal.
• 19:14
  You are telling the universe, I am getting ready.
• 19:17
  I am getting ready for my trip. And that is the action required to show the
• 19:23
  universe you're serious.
• 19:24
  If you're calling in more financial abundance,
• 19:28
  you could buy maybe a luxury wallet
• 19:31
  or purse a jewelry box something
• 19:35
  that represents wealth and overflow so
• 19:38
  this isn't recklessly going out and buying something that's really expensive
• 19:42
  but it's intentional you know a lovely purse that sparks joy in you that when
• 19:48
  you get it out it makes you feel bougie and it's a lovely place to keep your
• 19:52
  sacred coins and your notes because of all this abundance that's coming into your life.
• 19:58
  That way you're manifesting intentionally and from a place of belief rather
• 20:03
  than from a place of lack.
• 20:06
  Now, there is a rule to it, and it should feel exciting.
• 20:10
  And this is really important. The object you buy should make you feel something.
• 20:14
  You know how I said my keys, I held them up, and it really sparked joy in me.
• 20:20
  And it should feel, it should make, this object should make you feel like the
• 20:26
  anticipation of your desire just makes you feel warm and excited.
• 20:31
  And it should make you think, oh, my God, this is going to be a part of my future.
• 20:35
  This object is going to be a part of my future.
• 20:38
  And that emotional response is what sends the signal to the universe.
• 20:44
  So let's turn this into a game. You know me. I love a game for manifestation.
• 20:50
  Manifestation thrives on joy and fun. So here's the rule.
• 20:54
  I want you to go out and challenge yourself to buy one object that represents
• 21:00
  a manifestation that you are attracting in.
• 21:03
  And the rule is that you can't buy
• 21:05
  it from stress you buy it from excitement even
• 21:09
  enjoy the process of going out and seeking your object don't just go and buy
• 21:14
  the first thing that you see really seek it out ask the universe to bring it
• 21:19
  to you buy it from a place of excitement and then place it somewhere that you'll see it often.
• 21:26
  And every time you look at it, I want you to say, this is already on its way to me.
• 21:32
  Notice what happens. Notice the ideas that come to you, the opportunities that
• 21:37
  come to you, your emotions and your feelings that may come to you.
• 21:42
  Maybe coincidences as well. The universe loves it when we participate in the process.
• 21:48
  The universe is backing you going, yes, yes, I want to play this game with you.
• 21:53
  And the key mindset shift
• 21:56
  that the absolute real magic here
• 21:59
  it's not the object it's the mindset and
• 22:03
  it's the shift of the mindset that the object gives you
• 22:06
  so you're no longer waiting for life to happen you're preparing for it you're
• 22:11
  seeking it and you're behaving like someone whose dream is inevitable your dream
• 22:18
  is coming to you no matter what and you already have the object that represents that.
• 22:23
  And that energy is incredibly, incredibly magnetic.
• 22:29
  So your challenge for this week, guys, go somewhere inspiring. It could be a bookshop.
• 22:36
  It could be a market. It could be a garden center.
• 22:41
  It could be Tesco. Wherever is inspiring for you and find something that symbolizes
• 22:47
  your next chapter, your next level, your next life. And I want you to buy that object.
• 22:55
  I want you to walk it home, bring it into your home and let it remind you every
• 23:01
  single day that your future is unfolding.
• 23:05
  And who knows?
• 23:07
  Who knows? Just like my keys that are proudly hanging up in my garden,
• 23:12
  one day you might look at that object years from now and realize it was the
• 23:17
  moment that everything started to shift.
• 23:20
  And you have to look at that object and have the hope, just like when I bought my giant keys.
• 23:27
  That day I wasn't feeling great. When I look back now and I think the journey
• 23:31
  that I've come on since purchasing those keys is ginormous.
• 23:35
  And that's what I want you to remember going into this, that one day years from
• 23:40
  now, you'll look back and think that's the moment everything started to shift.
• 23:44
  And that is the trust that you need to have in your journey.
• 23:48
  Trust that it is unraveling exactly the way it's meant to at the exact right time of your timeline.
• 23:56
  And like those giant keys for me I
• 23:59
  tell you they still bring me so much joy I would have
• 24:02
  paid the 25 pounds for them I was willing to
• 24:05
  pay the 25 pound I think the universe got involved
• 24:08
  and went do you know what we're going to do you a favor we like
• 24:11
  your style Holly we like that you're playing a game with us we're going to put
• 24:14
  that down to seven pounds and honestly they bring me joy to this day I'm never
• 24:20
  getting rid of those keys every home I go to those keys are going to be proudly
• 24:25
  displayed in my home with my gorgeous partner.
• 24:29
  And it actually, like I say, it actually makes me want to cry when I think about it.
• 24:33
  And that's why I want to remind you that when I opened this episode and said,
• 24:37
