“As someone who has been on the TBM ride for years, I feel compelled to share my thoughts on manifestation. I’m at a stage in my life in which I’ve become a little skeptical of manifestation. Are you actually manifesting things or is your psyche aligning to a potential future outcome? Hence why you may feel drawn to certain things you want from life because it may already be written. I also think this work can keep you in a constant loop of always needing to be working on yourself which can be dangerous for those with fragile mental states, especially if your manifestations aren’t coming through. I have found my life has become exponentially better when I decided to let go of the chase for manifestation and just simply prioritized being present. Having aspirations is important, of course, but my intuition and instincts began to plunder when I would write out specific manifestations because I was so consumed by those particular things happening that I wasn’t in the flow of life. I recently recognized that the best years of my life happened when I wasn’t even aware of the concept of manifestation. My “rock bottom” years consisted of me over obsessing with manifestation. Once I decided to let go of it, I returned back to those good years pre-manifestation. Mama Medicine has spoken at lengths in the past about demanifestation (if you dig through her IG you’ll find a live about it from a few years ago) which really resonates with me and maybe someone else who has felt unsure about this program will resonate too. Of course choose the things that work for you and if manifestation is that, wonderful. But as someone who can be neurotic and a perfectionist, manifestation can take me in a depressive spiral. Also, Lacy is at a place financially in which “manifesting” things is of course easier than someone living in poverty. To ignore the financial privilege that’s undergirding your next real estate venture or next farm animal feels a little deceptive. So are you actually manifesting or do you just have the financial resources, proximity and ease of access to get more of your material wants? In general, I think life is more fun and beautiful when you allow for mystery and surprise. Life is so much more juicy when you let spontaneity lead. So please check in with yourself and always ask is this working for me because getting clear that this isn’t for me has been the best discovery and has taken so many burdens off of my back.”
