Manifesting is the ability to intentionally create anything you want. A loving relationship. A business. Health. Work. Community. The possibilities are endless. The truth is, you can manifest anything.
It was more than 15 years ago that I had a dream of opening a retreat center. I was newly divorced. My savings had just been cut in half. I was alone. On an island.
My thoughts went something like this…
“I don’t know the first thing about running a retreat center. I can’t do this by myself. Besides, I’ll have to go back to school and take business classes. I don’t have money for that…”
You get the idea, right?
There are many wonderful references and courses for those seeking to learn how to manifest. Over the years in working with manifesting, I’ve learned a lot from my personal experience. For me, it boils down to a few key points.
What exactly is it that you would like to see in your life. Be specific. Spend some time meditating, visualizing and/or journaling about what you want.
It is a loving relationship? Close your eyes and focus on your inner eye with the intention to “see” yourself inside the relationship. Focus on your partner. How does it feel to be with them? Where are you? What are you doing together? What sounds do you hear? The more you can engage your 5 senses, the clearer your desired outcome will be.
When your outcome is clear, it is easier to keep it in focus.
Some people can easily speak of their wants, dreams and desires. However, even in the moment they are speaking the words, the thought is right there…”Oh, but I can’t possibly have that.“
Do any of these sound familiar?
Negative thoughts can stop you before you even get started.
The truth is, you don’t need another person to empower you to go after your dreams. You have divine access to everything you need. Keep reading to see my FAVORITE practice to eliminate negative thoughts.
I’ve had students share with me their deepest desire is to find a loving life partner. At the same time, the self-talk they have around their body image is, “when I lose XXX-pounds, then I can call that person in.” Or, “I have to have the right job or the right amount of money in the bank. Then I’ll be worthy of love.”
All the energy being put towards thinking about all of the blockages is the very thing that keeps us from creating what we want.
We must release the blockages to truly envision the path to manifesting our dreams.
After listing the reasons why I couldn’t have a retreat center, I decided to be done with that way of thinking. I began to tell people all of the reasons why I did deserve my dream.
I listed the reasons why I shouldn’t be thinking of all the things that could hold me back. I stated clearly that I would have the financial backing I needed. I truly believed I could have it.
Of course, that money flowed in.
It’s not just me. One of my students came to Ho’omana. She felt empowered and inspired by what we had created here. She dreamed of owning her own retreat center back home.
However, when she got back home she allowed the negative thoughts, “Oh, there’s no way I could possibly manifest this” She even sank into a bit of a depression.
In the end, she decided to let go of the thoughts and take action.
She wrote a Facebook post and shared her dream.
She told her community that a retreat center had just come on the market. She described what she wanted to do with it.
“Does anybody have anything extra lying around that they would want to use to help invest in this really amazing project that I’m doing? Of course, it will come with agreements and payback and even interest, but the moment is now. Is anybody willing to jump on this with me?”
In a week or so, she had all the money that she needed and she is now in her third year of business!
So what happens when we release those blocks? How do we even identify that we’re the ones that are standing in the way of manifesting that thing?
Ruth Kramer, one of my mentors, shared with me an incredible exercise to eliminate negative thinking and speed up the Manifesting process:
Turn blockages into affirmations. Flip the Script.
We don’t need to block negative thinking. We transform thoughts that are not in alignment by turning them into an affirmation.
Be specific. State how and why you’re going to be able to attain the thing you desire.
Put your mana, your personal power, towards having each thought aligned with your goal. Continue the practice until every single one of the first thoughts that pop into your mind are in alignment.
Eliminate phrases like, “I hope one day I can have this.” Speak as if it is happening right now. If you’ve dreamt it in your mind, it already exists.
“I am a retreat owner. I have everything I need to make this happen. The universe is supporting this happening and so it is.”
I read every comment and would love to join your intention.
With aloha,

Is time ever a factor when manifesting what you want to create?
I believe, from my own experience that all things come in divine timing.
Divine timing is always a consideration. Patience and trust is required in Manifestation.
Doing some manifestation of my own! Going to be moving into a new building to further my healing practice. Universe will make sure I have the funds for this, I have the drive to do it. The move is a step closer to my end goal. A trip to the islands is in my plan to study lomi lomi. In the process of learning to speak Hawaiian to get me a step closer. ♥️🌺
Aloha Candy, there are some great programs for Olelo Hawaii. Check out possibilities on Oiwi.com Blessings on your new healing practice and hope to see you in lomi class!!
Good Morning , Kuma Jeana Iwalani Naluai , greetings from the island of Newfoundland … hold to my heart , visiting your retreat on your Hawaiian Island … cheers susan
Aloha Susan, we look forward to welcoming you to the islands.
I believe I’m working along the right lines, from the angle that online business building is well done by creating online presence – so I’m creating my own series of vids. I’m l slowly learning to overcome perfectionism in just uploading the rough ones then reworking, editing and brushing those up. I DO though get down that so much time slips by. I always really felt too young thus not ready to be an entrepreneurial Healer / wizard. Now at 51, with sore hip, I sometimes feel too old. If I can work this miracle in this chapter, this year, I can bring wealth, health, happiness to my family and many others. I am continuously tempted by the shiny online courses but I must focus on my own practice.
I am in the process to buy a real estate in the countryside of Lucca, Tuscany. This will become a “family-sized” bed and breakfast: it will be a welcoming place of well-being, care and Aloha designed to meet the needs of both the kids and their parents of being supported and entertained while visiting the country. It will be what I’m expecting and looking for while I travel with my three kids. I have manifested it and now is coming: I’m transforming my life, leaving beyond my current work in Milan (legal assistance to investments on wind energy projects) and my envisioned dreams are coming true in their shiny essence! I feel so deeply grateful for that, so beloved, so free to create, to powerful, so trustful that whatever the loving Universe will bring me to, will be the right thing for me to come and to develop further.
Well done Alessandra, we hold the vision with you that all these dreams be realized
I am setting the intention to manifest a return to Hawai’i to practice LomiLomi with my current Hawai’i LMT license, bringing my wife along, who will become a librarian or school teacher when we return to beloved Hawai’i.
Let the prayer fly Kau Sila mana mau
I am looking for a spiritual guide – I have even callled all my life – but need assistance- I love to bring hope an flight / light to those around me ( spirits included)-
We are sending prayers to manifest this flight and light that you are entering into
Love 💕 this post. I always look forward to seeing what’s next for you and me. Thanks 🙏🏾 for keeping me in the ‘ohana.
Aloha Isabella. Mahalo for responding to this post
Currently experiencing a huge growth in my own Mana these days and I’m planning on riding the wave while it lasts. Having powerful healers and successful friends in the personal power field has helped me realize my potential and the bigger job I have on this plane.
Absolutely you can manifest what you need, and being able to let go of how you think it is “supposed to” look can be helpful as well – instead of “doing it on your own” like so many people feel they must, being able to ask for help in the moment can lead to your dreams coming true.
So happy for you and your student! I have similar dreams and I’m working out the details of my own as I move towards manifesting the reality I am destined(?) to have.
Powerful words and ways of being. The world will benefit so much from the spreading of these concepts. <3
Mahalo for responding to this post. Mahalo for trusting the wave to take you where you need to go. I agree that having inspiring people in your life is important and empowering.
