I assume that the reason you are reading this article is because you heard of conscious manifestation, and probably even tried it, but you did not yet have much ‘success’ with it. For all the reasons, the subject of conscious manifestation has become hype. I also assume that you are researching the subject and so I would like to briefly kick in what I think of Conscious Manifestation so far.

The main element that makes Conscious Manifestation work

if I want to distill it into one sentence: Conscious manifestation works when I get into the mindset that the ‘thing’ I want is already mine. (Teachers like Eckhart Tolle or Neville Goddard could describe this much better than I can.)

Why it doesn’t work

Simply put: It is my ego that wants to manifest. What happens is that my ego rejects my wish. No wonder, as it is probably quite the opposite of what my ego believes in. If I take the usual example that most of us can relate to – Money: If my mindset is such that “I am poor”, “not worthy of financial abundance”, “it is so hard to make money”, etc. then good luck to me in trying to convince my ego about the exact opposite. 

What may work

Before asking what I wish for, I make a conscious step to eliminate what is blocking my wish to manifest: I ask my Real, True Self (instead of my ego) to bring to my consciousness my inner knowing that in my core I have everything, I am complete. Why? Because my True Self does know that this is true. And when this realization reaches my consciousness my whole being will know it and act accordingly. 

My Real, Inner Self just does not respond to things like ‘Why can’t I achieve what I want?’.  Luckily, it ‘cannot’ respond to a wish that contains a lack.

(This is not the subject of this article but for the record: I personally do not subscribe to the concept or need to become ‘ego-less’. I rather believe in a well-developed, mature self. It may sound paradoxical, but a well-developed ego helps to reach higher levels of consciousness and deeper spirituality. I have a brief article on this here.)
