You Inner Mentor Will Steer You Right When Manifesting- Here's How To Hear Her
Some will say there is no one right answer to every manifestation problem. To some extent, I suppose that’s true. All of us will get hung up at different points in our journey toward manifesting our dream career, life, or journey. BUT- one there is one thing every single one of us needs in order to KNOW closely and intimately because, without this secret weapon, we will surely end up floundering through our manifestation process.
INTUITION and Your Inner Mentor
Every single one of us has within us, two powerful voices. One is the Inner Critic. We like her less. She operates from fear and preservation more often than not. She is us when we choose to stay small and safe- when we diminish what we want, and when we are unfulfilled. She’s the devil on your shoulder who whispers to you that you aren’t good enough, that you don’t know enough, or that you will never make it. She is imposter syndrome and insecurity. Fuck her, seriously.
The other is our Inner Mentor. She is us- fully realized and fully satisfied in life. She is the opportunity and creativity that lives within us. She is the gut feeling when you are doing something that you know doesn’t align with you- or vice versa, she’s the butterflies in your stomach when you are doing something that you are passionate about and it just feels right. Many have come to know her as Intuition. She is our Third Eye, Ajna Chakra. And she is our secret weapon.
How Cultivating Trust in Your Intuition Will Guide You Through Successful Manifestation
Unfortunately, many of us have been conditioned to listen more to the Inner Critic than our Inner Mentor. We live in a world that constantly reminds us that we are in competition with everyone else, that we don’t have enough money, or a thin enough body, or enough connected friends. In this environment, many of us have silenced our Inner Mentor…but that doesn’t mean she is gone.
Your intuition is not lost, it’s just been muffled. If we can learn to trust that voice again, slowly but surely it will become louder, and when it does, you will see the most amazing results:
Clarity In What You Want
Our intuition helps us to get super clear on what we want to manifest. If we listen to our intuition, it tells us when we are doing something we don’t enjoy. It signals to us that we aren’t quite aligned. Even if you’re really close to being aligned with what you want, your intuition will know before your conscious mind, that something is off. If you don’t listen, you are in danger of straying off the path even further.
Focus on The Goal At Hand
Intuition, our Inner Mentor, and our Third Eye are all the same thing. In yoga, we refer to this as Ajna Chakra. This energetic center is our mind and our ability to focus. And as we all know, the mind can get very cluttered with those inner critic thoughts. It even gets filled up with other people’s thoughts! When we cultivate a relationship with our intuition, we learn how to filter out what isn’t ours and what isn’t serving us. Only then can we focus truly on the goal in front of us. Only then can we manifest anything.
Visualize The Life You Want
Our Inner Mentor is the version of us we could possibly be. It’s simply a matter of choosing to be her. She is us fully realized and therefore knows exactly what the life we want looks like and feels like. She also knows exactly what steps need to be taken to get there because she’s already been there. Visualization is one of the most powerful magickal tools we have in our possession. This might seem to some just like “dreaming” or “imagining” but it’s much more than that. It’s our way of tapping into the subconscious, pushing aside all the obstacles, and seeing exactly the truth of what we could be if we wanted to. When we visualize every detail and feeling and step of manifesting what we want in life, all the answers will be revealed. And you can’t just do it once, visualize on the regular. As you do this, more and more details will become clear, and more and more answers will come to you.
How To Start Connecting With Your Intuition
Here are 5 easy ways to start practicing connection to your intuition/third eye and connecting with the voice of your inner mentor:
Dream journal- write down everything you can remember when you dream. Not every detail might make sense now, but one day, you might start to notice a pattern- these are messages from your wise Inner Mentor.
Visualization Meditation- start with guided visualization meditations. If your third eye is a little rusty, this will start to shake off the dust and get your ideas, desires, and creative juices flowing again. Eventually, transition to the next step.
Visualization of What You Want to Manifest- brainstorm every single detail you can possibly think of when it comes to what you want to create in your life. Imagine the feelings associated with manifesting successfully. And if you’re not sure of the steps you need to take, visualize yourself completing your goals and see what comes up. DO THIS DAILY. Even 5 min of visualization every single morning can align you with your purpose, create focus and clarity, and help you to know exactly what steps need to be taken.
Drishti in Your Yoga Practice- A drishti is most loosely translated as “focal point.” This is either an internal or external point, sometimes both, where you can keep your mind concentrated as you practice. This technique helps to calm the extra chatter of the mind and maintain focus.
Meditation- Yoga techniques such as asana (poses), pranayama (breath), and meditation also help to calm the mind and identify those thoughts that are not aligned with you that you want to let go of. Our meditation practice is especially crucial for developing internal and external focus of the mind so that we can know more easily when we are aligned with who we truly are.
