Doing Shadow Work has many benefits that are even more important for our personal lives than manifesting our desires. But by doing Shadow Work we also naturally improve our manifestation abilities. And it’s an even better manifestation tool than many of them out there.
Why is Shadow Work a better manifestation tool than many others?
Within Shadow Work we work with our subconscious mind and we become aware about something we don’t see. When we become aware of something that is now in our conscious mind that was previously subconscious, that’s what we call Shadow Work. And it is said that about 95% of what we attract in life is from our subconscious mind. The other 5% that we attract comes from our conscious mind. Meaning if we use our conscious mind only for manifestation we are not using a huge part of our manifestation abilities, which is the other 95% of our subconscious mind.
The tricky part is that our consciousness is fragmented. And the more fragmented we are the harder it is to manifest. We then have less of our energy in the body and less focus in the present moment to direct our consciousness and shape reality into what we want. So, our subconscious mind is a very important part of manifestation. But the conscious mind is too, even though our conscious mind is only 5% of what we attract.
The Law of Mirroring
When we use our focus on the things we like to manifest with our conscious mind it creates an emotion and emotions create a frequency and this frequency is what you will attract more of according to the law of attraction. The law of attraction means that we live in a universe that is overseen by a mirror hologram. This is created so that we can learn and expand. This is why we can also call it the law of mirroring.
Everything that we attract is a mirror for each of us. It’s a mirror that we don’t always like to see the reflection of and we may even attract the most terrible experiences because of this. This is also the reason why sometimes bad things seems to always happen to the same people and good things seem to always happen to the same people. It’s because of the law of mirroring. This is one of the important reasons why we want to become good at manifestation.
With the help of our conscious mind and by focusing on what we do want and how we want to feel, we are also reprogramming our subconscious mind. They work together. And when we use our focus on something well enough then the subconscious mind will take over. When this happens, we don’t have to use a lot of our focus anymore as in the beginning, since the subconscious mind is then reprogrammed.
But there is more…
Just directing our thoughts for manifestation isn’t going to bring things into form. If that would be the case we all would be rich and healthy right now or the opposite of that depending on our thoughts. In order to bring something into form we have to commit to shadow work integration, find out who we are, our organic essence and anchor that in our bodies.
We are electromagnetic (light) beings and we need to anchor a large portion of our quanta in order to then shape it with our own consciousness to bring something into form aka manifest. But since many of us are fragmented we don’t know how to bring something into form. Most are trying to manifest in an inorganic world (the matrix) from a fragmented state of being. Because we are fragmented we push and pull energy from each other in order to create what we want and this way of manifestation is inorganic.
When manifestation isn’t happening?
If the manifestation that you’re working on isn’t happening then there are a few potential reasons why that is so.
- Resistance
When different parts within us are pointing into a different direction due to fragmentation than we are in resistance. One part of us wants this specific thing and another part of us wants this other specific thing. This creates resistance and makes attracting what we want difficult since we are sending out mixed messages to the universe. Most of the time we experience resistance out of fear. We may fear that we lose something else once we have what we want. Or there is fear present because of past experiences that we project into our future.
One way or another we have to do Shadow Work in order to become aware of the parts of us that are in resistance to those things. If you don’t deal with your resistance first then you are wasting a lot of precious time and energy. And you will become very frustrated why you are not attracting what you want. We want to figure out why we are in resistance? What core believes do you have? What experiences in the past makes it so that you have that belief? And most importantly what emotions are you resisting to feel?
- Lack of focus and presence
Sometimes we are just lazy with our thoughts and we lack focus and we lack presence! When our focus gets pulled into all kinds of things outside of ourselves then there isn’t much energy left for the things we want to attract into our own lives. Instead we are focused on other people and what they are doing and we are actually helping them to manifest their desires with our focus. Don’t you want to use that focus for your own creations?
In order to manifest you have to focus on what you want and give that feeling your presence a few moments each day. Every morning when you wake up and every evening before you go to sleep is usually the best moment. It doesn’t have to take much time, it just needs focus and presence (become the witness of your manifestation).
In order to become present, you need to be with your emotional states no matter how uncomfortable. If you resist your emotions you are also resisting the present moment. And with your focus you can cultivate the emotions that you want to feel so that you can become a match to the things on that same frequency.
We need to connect with our emotions because they are energy in motion. Remember how we are electromagnetic beings? Which means you are a moving particle that exists out of billions of moving particles. In order to shape the particles to how we want it to be we need to work with moving energy through our thoughts and emotions and direct it.
It’s easier said than done, but these are the keys.
- A higher plan
Sometimes we can try all the manifestation tools and read all the books and taking all the steps to get the desired outcome and it may still not happen… If this is the case you may need to consider that it’s supposed to be that way. It may not be for your highest good to have that thing right now. There may be a higher plan for you that you can’t see yet.
So instead of fighting and resisting where you are, try to surrender to where you are, allow the experience and be eager to what may come your way. That doesn’t mean to sit back and relax, you still want to work on releasing resistance and put your attention on what you do want. But if you don’t have the awareness or ‘light bulb’ moments that you need to have to be on that frequency, then you may actually not need to know it yet. In the meantime, keep studying yourself and follow your inner guidance as much as possible.
How to use Shadow Work for Manifestation?
If we want to use the law of mirroring to our advantage we need to dig into our subconscious mind and integrate all the opposing parts within our psyche that is pointing into a different direction. In this way we can release our resistance and stop giving out mixed messages to the universe. We want to lean into our shadowaka the uncomfortable feelings. When we release resistance then our energy can flow through more easily. And when we go through that process often enough then we can anchor more of our consciousness into the body and the present moment. Only then we can naturally start to rise up, raise our frequency, heal and manifest more easily.
What you may find along your (shadow work) journey is that the things you are trying to manifest are not actually what you want to manifest. Along the way you will become clear about what you actually want and then you will manifest like never before.
Until next time.
