Manifesting and De-Manifesting your Goals
Whitney (00:00)
Welcome to this episode of Spiritual and Ambitious where I’m gonna be talking about manifesting and de-manifesting. Is there a difference? Yes and no. Stick around.
(00:17):
Welcome to Spiritual and Ambitious. I’m your host Whitney McNeil. I’m a certified medium and spiritual teacher and I help spiritual and ambitious souls just like you live your life purpose through your career and attract abundance by connecting into your intuition and spirit guides. Let’s get spiritual and ambitious
(00:44):
Manifesting. What is manifesting? Well, it’s truly the act of making something real. So the way I teach my students is it really combines your intuition and the opportunities that your spirit guides are sending you and inspired action. You have to take the inspired action. A really simple, easy way of manifesting is taking a thought and making it real. So literally taking a thought, whatever you’re thinking in your mind and writing it down, that is an example of manifesting, right? You’re putting it onto paper and making it quite real. So when we get to the new year, we start really thinking about what is it that I wanna manifest for myself? What am I manifesting? What’s the act of manifesting? Whether it is a new job, new clients, perhaps you wanna move a new house, a new relationship, whatever that may be. It is something that kind of comes on our minds in January.
(01:52):
However, you can start over any time. It’s one thing I always say, you don’t have to wait until January comes around. You can do it at any time and live your purpose. However, when we make these big intentions or we make these big goals, our mind kind of flubbed it up. Sometimes we have these limiting beliefs which I’ll talk about in an upcoming episode. We have these beliefs that hold us back. You know, this is my goal, but I can’t really make it like I’m not really gonna, it’s not really gonna happen for me, like somewhere there’s this little voice sometimes inside of you that’s like, no, it’s really not gonna, you’re not gonna hit that income goal, or no, you’re really not gonna get that job, or no, maybe you’re not ready for it. Here’s the thing, you’re never gonna be really ready, by the way. I always encourage you to say yes to opportunities before you’re really ready because the more that you’re acting from that person, that vibration, that future self of who you are, and you start saying yes to these opportunities that you feel a little uncomfortable with, that’s gonna get you to where you wanna be faster.
(03:08):
Now, I’m not saying to say yes to something that you have totally no skillset for, that would be really inauthentic and flat out not ethical. But what I’m saying is when those opportunities come in, those opportunities that you’re just like, oh my gosh, I’m so nervous, but I wanna say yes to it, but I don’t know if I’m ready yet, maybe I need to spend two more years doing X, Y, Z. No, let’s go ahead and say yes to it because that means your spirit guides are sending it to you and you are ready on a soul level, but your ego is telling you that you’re not good enough, so just wanted to clear the air on that one. The manifesting, we will set these goals for ourselves and then what happens is when we don’t actually complete the goal, then we can be really hard on ourselves.
(03:55):
So I wanna talk about de-manifesting and then kind of tell you that it’s the same as manifesting but let me give you this. I’ve been really good at what my friends and I call de-manifesting. So if I’m not feeling well, if I don’t really wanna do something and I have an appointment or a meeting or something is on the calendar that I know that I should have said no to but I said yes anyway, or I don’t really feel in alignment with it anymore, I’m really good at just having it like de-manifest outta my calendar. So for instance, if I feel very overwhelmed or I’m not feeling a hundred percent and maybe I have some meetings on the calendar that I really need to reschedule, but I’m like, you know, I can still do it, like I can still do it. Those meetings will be, let’s say, de-manifested for me.
(04:52):
And this happened recently. So I had a surgery in November and I’ve had some complications from surgery which I knew actually I was going to have. But going into the surgery, I had this intuition like, okay, these are your options. There’s nothing wrong with this doctor, but it just feels like your healing time is going to be a bit delayed, the normal and so with that, I kind of knew, but my ego is like, but I’m ready to get back into doing things. I de-manifested a couple appointments that I had on the calendar and I thought about reaching out, but here’s what happened in my mind. Oh, I have these appointments. I don’t know, maybe I should go ahead and, you know, reschedule them and I sent it out to my spirit guides and the Universe and I said, if it’s for the highest and the best, you know, I’ll do the meeting.
(05:40):
But if it’s not, then please, you know, let me be shown a reason or just let it kind of de-manifest. And one of the appointments reached out and said, hey, we’ve changed the way we do our appointments. We’re gonna have to reschedule. Great. Second appointment reached out and I had something else going on and I said, okay, great, we’ll reschedule. Things like that happen quite a bit. This happens when spirit knows something else is coming up. So we lost our dog, when I say lost, we didn’t really lose our dog. Our dog is in spirit, the body is no longer and we had some things coming up and spirit really made the timing happen just the way it needed to be. It was, I knew the day before, I had to go to the emergency room. The day before I had these, hey, you should pack a bag for the emergency room with some snacks.
(06:42):
Hey, you should take off your nail polish if they have to run tests. I was telling my friend this, hey, I’m getting these messages and all that worked out, and then the next day is when we had to rush our dog to the vets. He was gonna transition on his own which we had been prepared for about a month and we had the schedule happen just so that we had appointments and de-manifest so that we could do these things. So they happen for reasons when we have things come up in our schedule, they also happen when we have our energy is not in alignment with it, and then this de-manifestation also happens when we are manifesting something better to do as well. So an example where, gosh, it’s so beautiful outside. I really just wanna go outside in nature or gosh, I really wanna speak on the summit, but I have these other obligations or something where there’s this other opportunity that’s coming in.
(07:51):
And so what happens is we start putting more energy into the things that we’re excited about and less energy into the things that we’re not, such as those appointments that were on your calendar. Maybe at one time you were excited for and now you’re not and so they de-manifest and then we really though have manifested something else in its place, so I don’t want you to think this only happens in bad situations. It can happen in great situations too, but is manifesting and de-manifesting the same? After this quick break, I’m gonna come back and let’s talk about it.
(08:30):

(09:06):
All right, thanks for listening. Let’s get back to manifesting and de-manifesting. Really, there’s no de-manifesting. It’s manifesting. Why is it easier to quote-unquote like de-manifest to than to manifest? And it’s because we put less energy into it. We literally put out into the world, hey, if it’s for the highest and the best, you know, have this happen. That’s it, like we put energy into it and then we leave it there.
(09:38):
And that’s really the same principles of manifesting. What happens with manifesting is we think we’re gaining something versus losing something and so when we’re losing something, it’s like, eh, no big deal cuz we’ve got less energy in the game, less skin in the game, if you will. With manifesting, we are holding tightly unto the objective and to the goal of I have to have this, this is what I’m manifesting. All it takes is just a perspective shift. So we are gonna flip the script on it. So for an example, if you are saying, I am manifesting X, Y, Z amount of money this year, or I am manifesting, let’s say five clients a day for five days out of the week. So maybe you want to see 25 clients through out of the week. Instead of holding onto that goal for dear life, one of the shifts that’s like, I’m gonna put my energy into the Universe that I would love this and I’m taking inspired action and then it’s already happened.
(10:41):
It’s already done and that my spirit guides are doing everything that they need to and conspiring in my favor to help me. Thank you. However, we’re like, oh my gosh, if I don’t get these 25 clients a week, then I’m going to be a failure and then it’s gonna affect my money and I really need this to pay the bills or whatever it is. That is the limiting stuff that gets in the way of us manifesting the goals that we so desire. So what if you could look at that in a different way? What if you could look at this as, you know, I am going to be losing or not losing, but removing, let’s even say that’s a better word. These clients that are not aligned with me, I’m going to be freeing up more space to read or to do things that I love.
(11:35):
I am just going to allow myself to detach from the outcome and see what else you’re losing. So you can be like, eh, you know, I am losing all the worry, I’m losing all the fear. What if we could just look at the things that are going away instead of holding tightly onto the things that we’re so desiring? What if we could just take that shift a little bit differently? So for instance, let’s say you’re manifesting new furniture instead of really and maybe you’re really attached to it because really this happens when we are so attached to what it has to look like or be like. So this is probably not the best example, but it’s an easy one for me to describe. So if you’re wanting the new furniture set and you’re like, it has to be on this day and it has to be on this time and all these things, then that might kind of flub up your manifesting cuz you’re really putting too much control in there.
(12:32):
However, what if you’re focused on, eh, I don’t need this old couch anymore, eh, I don’t need this lamp or this bedside table. Hey, if it’s for the highest and the good, spirit, could you remove this for me so that we’ll have a new bedroom set? If you could perhaps just see it in a different perspective of what you’re letting go of, oftentimes it’s easier to see what’s being removed because you’re not so attached to, oh my gosh, it has to be removed on this day, in this time and it has to go to this place. It’s eh, no big deal. So when you’re manifesting, what can you look at as no big deal? I know that sounds really weird, but what in it can you look at as, it’s okay if, but you know, if it happens, it happens. I’d really love this, but no big deal if it doesn’t.
(13:23):
What can that be for you? And that is what I’m trying to show you in the perspective shift. It sounds completely like anti manifesting. It’s just how can you trick your mind so that you’re not holding onto the details so much. We look at manifesting as such a job, or fulfilling a goal, or intention of what we’re putting out there versus I know spirit has a plan and if for some reason this doesn’t work out, then no big deal. Spirit knows the best. So an example I often use is when I was buying a house and a million things seemed to not work in its favor, but two million things did. And every time one of those things popped up, I said, no big deal. I know spirit is working it out in my favor and we’re manifesting the perfect aligned life. I literally just said this to my husband. There was a client that he was supposed to sign, the client didn’t sign.
(14:29):
And I said to him, I said, you know what? I feel like this is all working out in your favor and the timing is just perfect and he said, you know, I felt like that too. I just decided to, you know, cancel the person’s contract and let it go. And as soon as he did that, they reached out and said, hey, we, we definitely want to sign with you, so these are just some small examples of that. So I would just invite you to really look at what is it that I am truly desiring? What am I ready to take inspired action on because you actually have to do it? So in my furniture example, I can’t just focus on removing the furniture and because then I’m gonna just have an empty room. What I am gonna do is focus on removing the furniture and having fun looking at other new furniture to come in its place.
(15:26):
So I’m taking the inspired action of what do I want that furniture to look like and to be like. What it tends to happen is if we have a deadline or we have to have it a specific way, we tend to control it. Same with a job situation or relationship situation too, where it’s like it has to be this person or it has to be this job at this company. Let’s allow that to to shift and to really know that we’re gonna take inspired action. We’re not gonna sit there and let Spirit do a hundred percent of it for us because spirit can’t. We live on the earth plane and we have to take responsibility. But when it comes to your career, it comes to your starting your business, let’s say you wanna find a new office space and that new office space is at a certain location and you’ve always dreamed of it being at this certain location.
(16:23):
What can you detach from? Yes, I put my intention there and I’m gonna visualize myself there, but I know that spirit has it all planned out for the highest and the best and I trust spirit and orchestrating these events and just allowing spirit to be part of that process. Okay, that was quite a bit, right? I love talking about manifesting in intuition Abundance Academy and I love talking about manifesting and your ambition. We have these goals, but goals often don’t fall softly on our ears. So if you wanna say manifesting or intentions, I totally understand and you realize that when you do that, that you’re part of a bigger plan, that you’re not by yourself. Your spirit guides are here to help you and your intuition is the compass that guides you on that. Allow your ego to let go and quiet the mind is what I will say.
(17:29):
So if you’re interested in clearing your mind or just coming back into that place, I have a lot of great resources for you out there and one of them is the peace meditation. You can go to messengerofspirit.com/peace, help you get into that centered place and also if you’re interested in learning how your intuition comes in for you and how your spirit guides give you the push of what I say inspired action. So what happens is your guides give you the message through your intuition and then you physically take the action that they gave you. You can go to messengerofspirit.com/quiz and take the four intuitive languages quiz. So I am so looking forward to talking more about spiritual topics in the coming episodes, but for now, here’s to staying Spiritual and Ambitious.
