An Instagram follower I’ll call Camille sent me a DM last week.

“I was doing so well,” she wrote. “I was doing my practices every day and things were starting to happen for me. Then I had a terrible week. I cried for two days straight and I skipped every single practice. Do I have to start all over again?”

I could feel how much courage it took to ask.

Here’s the thing… Camille’s question shows up in my DMs more often than you might imagine. Sometimes it arrives dressed as “I fell off the manifesting bandwagon” or “I ruined my energy.” Underneath, it’s always the same secret worry:

“Does feeling bad  undo  my manifesting?”

I want to answer that question today, once and for all.

No. A thousand times, no ❤️

Being human means feeling the entire range of emotions. Bliss and joy are part of the deal, and so are sadness and pain. All feelings are welcome. Every version of you is welcome.

Here’s where it gets interesting though, and this is what I wish someone had told me years ago…

When we believe only our happy selves are allowed near our desires, we start editing. We push the sadness out of sight so we can show up to our visualization looking like the “right” kind of manifestor.

I understand the impulse (I’ve done it too!). It comes from a beautiful place. We want to give our dreams our best energy.

Here’s what I’ve learned: when you edit out your sadness before you practice, you’re manifesting with only part of yourself.

Your body has something I call the Manifesting Response System — the MRS. It’s the network that processes your manifesting energy through your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. Your MRS doesn’t need you to be happy. It needs you to be present.

When you give sadness, envy or frustration space to move through you, your energy keeps flowing. Suppression is what creates the real blockage — all that effort spent holding a feeling down is energy your desires never get to use.

Your whole self is your full manifesting strength. The tender parts of you hold just as much creative energy as the joyful parts. When every version of you is invited in, the Universe can respond to the FULL power of all of you ✨

So this week, if a blue day arrives, try this: take 1 Healing Breath of Expansion  without asking the feeling to leave first. Here’s how:

Close your eyes, or let your gaze rest wherever feels comfortable. Imagine your inner world growing spacious enough to welcome every feeling that visits you — the joyful ones and the tender ones alike. 

With each inhale, feel that space opening wider. On your exhale, feel every version of you being welcomed in. Breathe in for 3 counts and out for 6. Let the breath and the sadness share the room. You might be surprised by how much lighter you feel when nothing about you needs to be hidden.

Here’s what I wrote back to Camille: “Lovely Camille, nothing needs to start over… I promise! Those two days of tears were you being human, and being human has never once disqualified anyone from manifesting. Your desires are still yours, and the Universe is still listening” 💖

Wherever you are on your manifesting journey, please know this: you never have to choose between being human and being a manifestor. You get to be both, fully and beautifully ✨
