With love, Lourdes (September 2, 2019)

Illuminating the Spirit

This summer I completed a really amazing course called The Manifestation Method, led by Mark Anthony Lord, a regular contributor to illumine. I got so much out of it that I want to share it with you.  This program is specifically designed to help bring dreams and desires into form.  It’s really unique because it focuses the entire time on helping you get yourself into alignment with that which you want to create. 

Do you have ideas or a creative itch (or itches!!) that have you feeling excited, distracted, maybe even anxious and dissatisfied with your current situation or dreaming about “what’s next”?  It might look like this:

dreaming, personal bide looking out over water

Consider an 8-week course that could lead to just catching hold of your dream, exploring what it is you are curious about, wanting to grow and deepen, or putting some skin on a dream or idea that’s been in your mind for a while. It could look like this:

Jumping into the lake

How long will you be standing on the sidelines, merely thinking about an idea? 

Use this course to explore and give yourself time to think through your creative possibilities! What would make you either wake up super excited to live your life, and/or go to bed totally exhausted and happily knowing that you’ve been on the journey to create and manifest your ideas and dreams no matter what the outcome?

Here’s the Theodore Roosevelt quote used by Brené Brown that reminds me of where I want to be:

“(Be) the person who is in the arena. Whose face is marred with dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly … who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if s/he fails, at least fails while daring greatly …”

What you will be learning

During the Manifestation Method 8-week course I learned a lot about how the laws of creating work, I got a bunch of old stories and limitations that were lingering around out of the way, and I had a really phenomenal experience where I merged with my dream and actually saw it, felt it, and said YES to it.

Want what you want

One of the biggest learning moments for me was connecting with what I desire. For whatever reason I didn’t have a strong connection to the word DESIRE and I also realized that I had forgotten how to really want what I want and to connect with things/experiences, ideas and possibilities I truly desire. It had been a while since I even thought about what would make me feel really happy, fulfilled, and satisfied. Maybe it was my Catholic upbringing, or being a learner for so long. I focused on the process, rather than the goal of feeling deep joy.

I loved this course and I really think you might too.  

The Details:

The next Manifestation Method online course begins on Monday, September 23 at 7pm, central. And, if you’re busy and can’t make a class or two they are always great about getting you the recording so you don’t miss a thing.
