Expand, Don't Reach: An Exciting New Way to Manifest Your Desires
You know that feeling when you’re reaching for something on a high shelf?
Your shoulders strain. You’re up on your toes. Your whole body stretching toward the thing you want.
I had that experience last week, trying to get my favorite mug off the shelf. Unfortunately, it was way out of reach for my 5’ 2” frame and I had to, eventually, get a little step ladder 😂
Reaching, straining, stretching – it’s what we do when we’re manifesting.
It’s that forward-leaning, shoulder-straining, toe-stretching energy, hunting down something that feels far away.
But what if we’ve been looking in the wrong direction this whole time? Here’s what I know to be true…
When your heart is drawn to something – when you desire it, when it calls to you – your desire in and of itself is evidence that it’s already in your energetic field.
The Universe doesn’t plant desires in you for things that are outside your field. The wanting IS the signal.
So we’re not hunting down something far away. We’re expanding into and around something that’s already right here with us. Here’s what that looks:
Old belief: “I want it because I don’t have it” (built on lack)
New belief: “I want it and it’s already mine” (built on abundance)
It’s a powerful shift that instantly takes you from hunting to expanding.
Let’s try something fun right now (but only if you’re in a space where you feel safe and protected, if not, save this next bit for later 😃)
I want you to close your eyes. Now, feel your awareness expanding like a warm bubble of light. As it grows, I want you to notice: all that you desire is within your field. You don’t have to reach. It’s all inside your consciousness, within your grasp. Sit with this for a few minutes. Then go ahead and open your eyes.
Now, a question for you – what did that expansion feel like in your body? Maybe you felt your chest opening, and your shoulders relaxing. There’s a sense of space all around you.
This is where 1 Healing Breath of Expansion works as a powerful MicroAction manifesting practice (scroll down for the instructions).
Whenever you catch yourself hunting down your desires – that forward-leaning, shoulder-straining, “is it here yet?” energy – take 1 Healing Breath of Expansion to teach your body, mind, spirit and energy that your desire for the thing means the thing is already inside your field.
When you expand instead of reach, something remarkable happens… taking aligned, inspired action becomes clear and pretty darn effortless!
You find yourself pitching the dream client – the one you’ve been “waiting to be ready for” and you do it from expansion, without a shred of desperation.
You raise your prices and it feels GOOD because you know you’re already in the field of that income level.
You say yes to moving to the city because the life you want there is already in your energy.
I encourage you to try this 🎉
Practice expanding your consciousness to encompass your desires because now you know the truth… it’s all already in your field, right here, right now!
