The Manifesting State That Feels Suspicious — And Why Your Desires Are Drawn To It

by Shantini Rajah

Have you ever had one of those rare days that felt like it was dreamed up just for you…

Maybe a conversation you’d been dreading turned into the best one you’d had all year, or maybe the solution you’d been looking for presented itself, perfectly formed in your mind, while you were making coffee, and everything had that quality of being completely, effortlessly right 💖

Then, a thought suddenly arises: Wait, am I forgetting something?”

Out of nowhere, you get that little spike of suspicion and that instinct to go looking for the problem because there has to be one.  Things flowing perfectly almost feels like you’re somehow getting away with something!

What’s fascinating is that feeling tends to show up most when you’re in a really beautiful groove and nothing is a struggle. Your day has that lovely, almost magical quality of just… flowing.

Here’s the irony: that beautiful groove – the one that makes you feel like you’re getting away with something – is the exact state your desires are drawn to. 

When you’re in the energy of ease, your Manifesting Response System – what I call the network that processes manifesting energy through your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs – hums along beautifully, keeping you in that high vibrational state where your desires can flow freely to you. 

When urgency and striving take over, your MRS contracts, and your manifesting energy does too.

So why does ease feel so suspicious? We were taught either directly or just by absorbing the world around us, that the things we want most don’t come easily, and ease means we’re cutting corners, slacking off, or missing something important.

Urgency, on the other hand, feels responsible – like we’re taking our desires seriously.

So the minute ease shows up, we introduce friction. We find something to worry about, create complications, and talk ourselves out of the very state that would help us most.

In my book Manifest Anything You Want, I introduce a tool called the Magical Question – “How can I make this easy?” 

Whenever you notice yourself over-efforting or feeling stuck, ask yourself that question, then listen for whatever intuitive nudge arises. 

You’ll find the answer to that question is often simpler and more inspired than anything you can come up with when you’re striving. The Magical Question really is magical! It teaches you to make friends with ease and in time you’ll find that when you stop resisting ease every time it shows up, it becomes your most powerful manifesting ally.

Ease is always available to you and the more you welcome it, the more the Universe can work its magic for you ✨

Does ease feel suspicious to you? I’d love to know… and if you try the Magical Question, just reply to this email and tell me what happened! I love reading every single note and I always write back 😍
