Youโve probably heard plenty about manifestation: Put your energy into something you want, and itโll materialize into your reality. Sounds great and all, but sometimes manifestation can be a little confusing.
Maybe things just arenโt going your way. No matter how hard you try to turn your life around, inevitably you seem to be sucked deeper into this abyss of misery.
So youโre worried.
What if this job opportunity falls through?
What if this date doesnโt go as planned?
What if my life comes crashing down?
While in this state of fear, youโre thinking this whole manifestation thing isnโt as easy as it has been laid out to be.
Thatโs why I want to clear some things up in this article.
Here weโre going to explore manifesting joy when youโre in a low vibrational state because it can feel like an uphill battle. Weโre going to look at how you can fix the manifestation engine to attract experiences into your life that bring you an abundance of joy.
How Does Manifestation Work?
Iโm not going to dive too deep into manifestation here, asย Iโve written a comprehensive article on it. But hereโs the gist.
Manifestation refers to the law of attraction โย A spiritual law of the universe.
Energy is energy, meaning your internal reality will create a congruency with your external reality to create what I call energetic osmosis.ย Vibrationย acts as a magnet that creates a congruency with the external condition.
If youโre in low-vibrational states where youโre experiencing feelings such as fear, the external universe will match this vibration โ Meaning you will attract more experiences that are on the same wavelength as fear.
On the other hand, if youโre experiencing high-vibrational states such as love and gratitude, the same phenomenon occurs. More experiences will unfold in your life that resonate with your frequency because the external reality wants to be in balance with the internal reality.
Can You Manifest Joy if Youโre Feeling Down?
If youโre in a low-vibrational state where youโre feeling scared, worried, or stressed, manifesting high-vibrational experiences into your life wonโt work. At least not until you raise your vibration.
This is a big misconception I want to address.
First off, if you put all of your focus on creating positive experiences while you feel miserable โ Youโreย spiritually bypassing, and this is going to come back around and kick your butt.
Spiritual bypassing is when you shift your focus towards experiences of positivity rather than doing theย shadow workย and healing the wound causing the pain.
Secondly, manifestation works on vibration. If youโre in a low-vibrational state, naturally youโre going to attract more painful experiences which act as prompts for shadow work and healing.
You donโt manifest painful experiences because the universe wants to kick you while youโre down. You manifest more painful experiences as a learning mechanism to provide the insights and realizations to climb out of the hole youโre in.
If we could just bail ourselves out of any difficult situation by manifesting a better situation, we wouldnโt grow as people.
Steps to Manifest Joy When Youโre Feeling Low
Manifesting when youโre experiencing low-vibrational states such as fear or guilt doesnโt work, because the outer reality aims to meet the vibration of the inner reality. If your inner reality is dark, life is going to respond to that darkness.
This is why itโs important to learn how to process and heal your pain and then organically shift towards high-vibrational states.
Once you reach these high-vibrational states of consciousness where youโre oozing with gratitude, love, and compassion, you will begin creating a heavenly existence โ Flowing with opportunities, coincidences, and amazing experiences you can barely contain.
So letโs look at some steps you can take to manifest when youโre feeling fear, doubt, or other dense energies.
You Need to Do the Shadow Work
People shift into dense states of consciousness to learn. If you refuse to learn the lessons, you stay in those dense states of consciousness. If you learn the lessons, you will naturally heal, evolve, and reach lighter states of consciousness.
Therefore, when youโre feeling something heavy, you need to do the inner work. You simply wonโt be able to manifest positive experiences into your life while your energy is dense.
Start by:
- Processing the experience youโre going through
- Sitting with the pain in whichever form it has manifested
- Learn the lessons and insights
- Make the necessary behavioral and cognitive changes
- Start feeling better and manifesting from there
Of course, every situation is unique, but these are the general guidelines for healing.
Work on Raising Your Vibration
If you want to start manifesting the things you want, thereโs a very obvious solution. Raise your vibration, and the Universe will reciprocate. You see, the Universe doesnโt speak English, or Spanish, or Hebrew. It only recognizes one language which is vibration.
Ask yourself, is your energy calibrated with abundance, or is it aligned with disappointment? Does it feel like youโre already living your dreams, or is there separation between these states of consciousness?
Manifestation is a double-edged sword. It doesnโt give you what you want. It gives you more of what you already have. This can be a pretty relentless cycle but donโt blame the Universe. Itโs just matching your vibration.
Therefore, itโs crucial to let go of this fear. One of the best ways to do this is toย express more gratitude, more often.
Set Intentions (But Not Expectations)
Desire is a powerful force.
Intentions act as your internal compass pointing toward the reality you want. By holding your intentions close, youโre constantly making actions and decisions that move you in the right direction.
Let me make it clear that expecting a particular result is not the way to go.
Expecting something to unfold will have undesired consequences as the expectation isnโt a positive energetic frequency.
Therefore,ย hold your intentions close, but donโt expectย the reality you want to mysteriously appear out of thin air.
A big reason why youโre trapped in painful states is because youโreย holding onto the outcome.
I know what itโs like, Iโve been there.
You worry that if the result youโre looking for doesnโt come to fruition, your life is going to fall apart. But I can tell you from experience that this isnโt the case.
To get over this fear, you need to be at peace with the outcome, for better or worse. By doing so, youโre more likely to manifest better things in your life because youโre no longer holding onto this stress.
Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Body
Fear is a construct of the mind. You may have been told otherwise, but holding on to fear is a choice. In other words, you create your hell by worrying about what could happen.
By fixating on the future, you turn the smallest matters into big ordeals.
I used to worry a lot about things going wrong too. But now I see clearly because I live in the here and now. If Iโm experiencing difficulties, I allow myself to feel the experience. If Iโm feeling great, I soak in those blissful feelings.
You see, if youโre fully present, fear canโt take hold because it propagates through thought. Therefore, itโs important toย ground yourself.
Focus on how ample life is at this very moment. Youโre safe, youโre comfortable, you have everything you need. You just need to remember to bring it back every time your mind drifts away.
Cultivate a Deeper Trust in the Universe
You need trust if you want to manifest high-vibrational experiences into your life. Trusting that all happens for a reason is powerful. It alleviates stress, worry, and fear of the unknown.
Putting your faith in something bigger than you can help get rid of that deep-rooted fear. Itโs necessary to transcend your fear to make manifestation work in your favor.
Have trust that whatever happens is meant to happen. When you think of life through this lens, itโs much easier to look beyond the fear and be at peace.
This acceptance will help you get out of the vibrational rut that youโre in, which in turn helps you manifest better things. With no fear, positive intentions, and desirable feelings, you might be surprised just how well things work out for you.
Ultimately, realize that manifestation is not something you do. Itโs a state of consciousness that naturally magnetizes the same frequencies into your life โ In the form of thoughts, feelings, ideas opportunities, people, and experiences.
The aim of the game is to feel clean, healthy, and happy, and the rest will follow suit. Donโt pull a muscle trying to manifest your way out of your situation, but trust that youโre here for a reason.
