Manifesting is a hot topic. That’s because we’re always manifesting in every moment with our thoughts, emotions and beliefs. So how can you tell that what you’re trying to manifest is on its way?

Just to recap, manifestation is about asking, believing and receiving.

One thing that needs clarifying and that many spiritual teachers don’t address is the fact what you’re trying to manifrest must actually be good for you: the home, the car, the job, the dog…all of it. It must be aligned with your highest good. Metaphysical teacher Frances Scovell Shinn called this divine order. Author Caroline Myss has said: “You cannot treat God like a cash machine. It does not work that way.”

Again, the most difficult part in the manifestation process is actually believing that you are worthy of receiving what you desire. If you’re looking for a new job, a new home , or anything else for that matter, you must believe that what you want is achievable beyond a shadow of a doubt.

As my friend, manifestation teacher John Kobel says, doubt kills everything. The minute you have doubts about receiving what you want, you block it; the doubt creates an energetic barrier against your manifestation. Therefore, the most challenging part of manifesting is to really change your limiting beliefs about what you can have.

Once you truly believe that you are worthy to receive, how can you tell that what you’re trying to manifest is on its way to you? I’ve been manifesting for a while, but in the past year, things have accelerated for me and so have the synchronicities. I’ve raised my vibration throughout my spiritual awakening journey, and I’ve been able to manifest more quickly. So how can I tell if something I want is coming to me? 

First of all, you’re going to start seeing that thing everywhere.

Let’s say you’re trying to manifest a new car. Well, you’re going to start seeing this car everywhere you go. People are going to be driving it. It’s going to be parked in the parking lot at the post office as you walk by, or at the grocery store. Same thing. If you’re trying to manifest a dog, you’re going to start seeing pictures of this dog on your Instagram feed, or on your Facebook. That’s a clear sign that what you’re trying to manifest is coming.

The second sign is people around you are going to be talking about it. So let’s say you’re trying to manifest a new job or a promotion. You’re going to start hearing about (or reading about) people in your entourage or community that have manifested a new job. Or you’ll be sitting in a cafe or in a park, and people next to you are going to start talking about the fact that they received a promotion.

At that point, it’s super important not to be envious or jealous of what the other person has received, because that is another massive barrier to your good! Envy is a negative, low vibe energy and it creates a barrier to your manifestation. In the last year, my neighbor was telling me about this book that she wanted to write and one of the central key points in the book was an object that I was trying to manifest. So I started laughing because I thought, wow, that’s a clear sign from the universe that what I’m trying to manifest is coming to me. As a matter of fact, within the next week or 10 days, I received that very thing!

The other sign, and this might appear very unusual, is that you will receive messages via your computer…through an image that pops up on your computer of the very thing you desire. That is not random. That is the universe sending you a sign that what you have asked for is coming. It’s also to quell your fears because when we are anxious, we don’t manifest as Florence Scovel Shinn has written: manifestation appears on a calm and steady sea. 

Therefore, you can’t be anxious or worried because if you’re in fear, you’re going to be blocking your manifestation. So try to relax. If you see images of it, or if you hear people talking about it, if you have pop-ups on your computer, if you see things on TV television, just know that it is coming.

Let’s say you’re trying to make a movie on a particular topic, and you’re trying to get funding and you see a documentary about a similar topic appear. It’s a sign that you are on the right track. You’re going to be manifesting funding opportunities. Doors are going to open for you. Another great sign is nature. The other day, I had a group twelve wild turkeys just start sauntering in front of my window! I live in the country and I started laughing because I understood it was a symbol and a sign.. It was, the universe was trying to show me a clear sign. It was symbolic of the manifestation is coming to me and I was filled with gratitude.

So look to nature. That’s another important sign as nature speaks to us in many ways, every day.
