Manifestation 101 with Adisa May
We recently launched the Manifestation Collection, which is a collection of premium quality Brazilian sourced clear quartz pieces! I believe now is the perfect time to release our manifestation 101 article in order for you to understand the science behind manifesting the reality you desire and deserve.
I am going to take a bit of a more serious tone in this blog as I find the word “manifestation” has become a buzzword, devoid of the science behind its understanding, and the emotional work involved in becoming a successful manifestor.
What is Manifestation?
But first, what is manifestation?
Manifestation is the conscious act of creating a new reality, in which you shift your internal world so that your three-dimensional (“3D”) reality reflects your new energetic signature.
The 3D universe is made up of people, objects, places and time [1]. In other words, it is a dimension of particles and matters [2] that we experience through our five senses, that is: hearing, sight, smelling, tasting and touching. According to Dr. Joe Dispenza, a chiropractor, neuroscientist, and researcher outlines in his Wall Street Journal bestseller, Becoming Supernatural, the issue with living solely through your five senses in the 3D is that you can become mentally, emotionally and energetically tethered and limited to this dimension. Your focus remains on physical matter rather than unlimited energy.
In order to become a high level manifestor then, a shift must be made from living through your five senses and defining your body as strictly living in a material world to one of pure consciousness, that is opening yourself to “immaterial waves of possibilities” [3] (aka energy).
Dr. Dispenza states that where you place your attention is where you place your energy [4]. Day to day our inner world of thoughts and feelings reflect the constraints of our physical reality. Eating, money, bills, your car, maintaining the house, your partner, kids, relatives, career, co-workers, people you dislike, social media, appointments, news, your health, pain, suffering, and so on.
Manifestation is the act of taking your energy and power back. By no longer letting your outer environment dictate your inner landscape of thoughts and feelings, you create energy to invest into your inner world of thoughts and feelings. You now are able to choose what electromagnetic signature you want to emanate into your reality.
Neville Goddard (1905-1972), who was a writer, speaker and mystic was famous for his manifestation principles which overlapped with quantum theory (explained in the section below). His primary method for manifestation was the law of assumption, where he found that the observer's assumption or focus dictates which reality materializes in the physical world.
So then, what emotions, thoughts and feelings would you like to focus on?
Newtonian Physics vs Quantum Physics
I mentioned earlier the “immaterial waves of possibilities”. So, what exactly is that?
Newtonian Physics: An Outdated Model of Understanding Reality
Newtonian physics was formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in the late 17th-century and is a branch of physics that is based on the laws of motion and gravitation. Our world has been governed by the Newtonian Physics for a long time and remains as the mathematical foundation of engineering.
Newtonian physics explains how we experience our physical three-dimensional reality. It explains how everyday objects move and interact with forces in a predictable, linear way. It relies on the laws of absolute time and space and applies to macroscopic particles, that is atoms, physical reality and density.
The Newtonian model relies entirely on observable measurable interactions. Reality is therefore entirely perceived through the limitations of our physical senses: what you can see, smell, taste, hear and physically touch.
When applying the Newtonian model to manifestation it equates to: do more, force more, work more in order to manifest and achieve. Sounds exhausting doesn't it?
Quantum Theory: Our Reality Extends Beyond Our Five Senses
Quantum theory is the branch of physics that explains how the universe behaves at the levels of microscopic, atomic and subatomic levels. Reality at the quantum level goes beyond our five senses. Reality at the quantum level consists of probabilities, energy fields and invisible information networks.
Associate professor Andrew Truscott in 2015 made the statement “at the quantum level, reality does not exist if you are not looking at it”[5] after completing the Observer Effect Experiments at the Australian National University. What Dr. Truscott meant was that subatomic particles exist as a hazy cloud of possibilities and do not have a fixed objective existence until they are observed or measured.
Quantum theory therefore takes us beyond space and time. Reality is not fixed; it is a field of infinite possibilities awaiting observation. This means every experience exists as a potential until your mind collapses it into form, that is from infinite possibilities to something known [6].
When applying the quantum theory to manifestation, all that you desire is a fluid field of probabilities. In order to collapse the wave of probability into your physical reality, you must embody the emotional and mental state of your future self who has already experienced the desired outcome.
Don’t worry, I am going to expand on this more later. But for now, let’s get back to your electromagnetic signature spoken about earlier.
Your Heart & Brain Create Your Electromagnetic Signature
When we refer to the electromagnetic signature with respect to manifestation, we are speaking to the energetic signature created by the human body. Your brain emits electrical and magnetic charges in the form of your thoughts and intentions and your heart emits electrical and magnetic charges representing your feelings, emotions, intuition and perception.
The heart’s electrical field is 60x greater in strength than the electrical activity generated by our brain and 100x stronger than the magnetic field the brain produces [9]. In fact, the HeartMath Institute has found that the heart acts as like an independent brain [10]. The heart is known as the “little brain” [11], which is composed of 40,000 neurons that can sense, learn and process information independent of the central nervous system. The heart sends neural signals to the brain that influences emotional processing, perception and higher cognitive functions like attention and memory [12].
When we think a thought, neurons in our brain fire an electrical charge. If those thoughts create emotions, those feelings create magnetic charges. When these feelings combine with our thoughts, Dr. Dispenza has found that they produce what is known as an electromagnetic field that represents our state of being [13].
For example, the HeartMath institute has been able to record the electromagnetic field produce generated by the human heart with a SQUID device [14]. The Institute has found that the hearts electromagnetic field can be detected by other individuals and produce measurable effects in a person or animal from 5 feet away [15].
When we experience positive emotions, our electromagnetic field becomes more organized and coherent, while when we are experiencing negative emotions, our field becomes a state of incoherence. When we are in a state of heart coherence, one can experience increased cognitive function, self-regulatory capacity, emotional stability and resilience [16].
Your Electromagnetic Signature & the Infinite Field of Possibilities
Whether you know it or not, you are constantly creating a high vibrational or low vibrational energy field with whatever thoughts, feelings or attitudes you are emanating into your world.
Manifestation cannot happen when we are in a state of incoherence, stress, survival or focusing purely on what is already physically known. Dr. Joe Dispenza outlines in Becoming Supernatural, that first we must shift our awareness away from our physical body, environment and linear time (Newtonian reality) and enter a state of heart-brain coherence. That is, combining a clear thoughts and intentions that sends out a signal (coherent brain) and an elevated emotion that creates a magnetic field (coherent heart) [17].
When your heart and brain become coherent, you are actively vibrating at the frequency of that imagined future. You are sending a coherent signal into the field and when there is vibrational match between your energy and the potential in the field, your desires will begin to manifest [18]. The manifestation can come in the form of opportunities, synchronicities and coincidences.
What Manifestation at a High Level Requires – Adisa May’s Thoughts
As someone who has been active in manifestation work the last 4 years, I have observed the potential roadblocks that can appear when you’re manifesting a new reality.
If you want to be an abundant person who attracts prosperous opportunities into your life but cannot seem to access the emotions or intentions necessary to create that, I suggest first visiting why you are in a mental, emotional and spiritual state of lack and scarcity.
This often requires a mix of or all of the below:
- challenging preconceived notions, beliefs and programs taught to you since you were a child,
- consciously feeling new emotions, thinking new thoughts and de-programming the subconscious mind,
- healing unresolved trauma,
- taking personal responsibility over your actions and life and,
- thinking greater than you feel.
I have found that the bigger my manifestations, the more inward work required to achieve my new reality.
Everyone Holds the Power to Manifest
Everyone holds the power to manifest the reality that they want. You are a creative being of infinite possibilities. Manifestation requires healing, self-compassion, self-love and taking responsibility over one’s thoughts, emotions, behaviours and life.
Manifestation is always within your reach, and when you are ready, the infinite field of possibilities will be there to co-create with you.
With gratitude,
Adisa May
