The Manifesting Approach That Would Make Coaches Cringe (But Actually Works Better)

by Shantini Rajah

I’ve manifested some pretty incredible things.

The first thing that comes to mind in this moment?  I always dreamed of piloting an aircraft and I got the chance to fly a 2-seater plane – I think it was a Cessna – during my time as a journalist.

I’ve also manifested first-class travel, staying at the Four Seasons by the beach, and of course becoming a published author against all odds 🤩

But here’s what would make most manifesting coaches and teachers cringe: I broke just about every single “rule” they talk about.

I didn’t set deadlines for when my desires had to appear.

I didn’t create detailed vision boards with every specification mapped out.

I didn’t think about my goals constantly or write about them every day.

I didn’t tell everyone about what I was manifesting to “hold myself accountable.”

In fact, I did something that would be considered manifesting heresy…

I kind of… forgot about them 😂

Not in a “I don’t care” way, but in a “I planted the seed and let it grow” way.

Here’s what I did:

🌱 I let myself want what I wanted without justifying why I deserved it

✨ I stayed open to how it might show up (spoiler: never how I expected!)

😍 I followed my genuine curiosity rather than grinding through action steps

🕊️ I got out of my own way and let the Universe do what it does best

The more I stopped trying to micromanage the Universe, the more magic started flowing.

It’s like the difference between white-knuckling the steering wheel versus resting your hands gently while staying alert to where the road is taking you.

Both keep you moving forward but only one feels effortless.

I think somewhere along the way, manifesting became this intense, high-stakes game instead of the natural, organic process it’s meant to be.

What if it isn’t about making the Universe comply with your commands, but about creating enough inner ease that you can plant your desires and let them bloom?

So here’s my gentle invitation: What desire could you stop gripping so tightly this week?

Maybe instead of holding on so hard, you could take a 1 Healing Breath and whisper: “I’m getting out of my own way.”

Because everything always works out. Just rarely how we think it will… and usually way better than we imagined ✨

What do you think? Have you noticed that the things you’ve “forgotten” about manifesting sometimes show up more easily than the ones you’ve been focusing on?
