Top five manifesting tools I’ve taken from Joe Dispenza

Right, now I’ll be honest. Full disclosure. I’ve gone back and forth with manifesting more times than I can count. But just recently I fell into the Joe Dispenza rabbit hole and have struggled to get out ever since (if you haven’t already read his book ‘Becoming Supernatural', I strongly advise that you do because not to be dramatic but it will change your life).

Anyway, I’ve been listening to, reading about and generally inhaling Joe’s work of late and if you’ve not come across him, he’s an author and meditation teacher who brings together meditation, neuroscience personal transformation and some other really big ideas about the quantum field. Anyone mentions Quantum leaps and I’ll be honest.. I’m in.

His work has got me experimenting with a few different practices and revisiting some that I’ve already tried, which had me a little spooked if I’m honest. Because some of the things he speaks about in meditation are things that I’ve always done naturally myself. And one of this tools in particular, I did all by myself only to, the next day, discover it was infact a Joe Dispenza tool. So of course, I’ve taken this as a synchronistic sign and run with it.

Now we all know, manifesting feels lovely. Visualising is lovely. Living in an alternate reality that feels way better than your actual human experience.. who wouldn’t want that. But does it actually work? Are these tools any more powerful than the thousands of others out there? Well.. I’m putting them to the test so I’m sorry but you’ll have to revisit next month for the final scores.

But for now, here are my top 5 tools from your man Joe.

The letter exercise

This one caught my attention mainly because it’s just so fucking simple and actually, aside from the letter, is very similar to a lot of the manifesting tools I’ve already used.

In his ‘tuning in to potentials’ meditation, Joe suggests you choose a specific experience you want to create and give it a capital letter (A for abundence, L for love etc). You write that letter on the middle of a piece of paper and draw two wavy circles around it. I don’t know if the circles have to be wavy, mine didn’t have circles at all but on your head be it.

Then you split the page into two sections.

Intention:

On the left you write intention and under here comes what you actually want. Whether that’s a new job (J), new house (H), travel (T).. you want to describe how exactly that thing will look. What does that specific experience look like? What are the details?

Elevated emotions:

On the right you write elevated emotions and here you’ll describe how you would feel if those things (on the left) were already in your life. For example, a new job with better pay may bring you security, confidence, peace etc.

And here’s the best bit.. this exercise isn’t just about listing lots of lovely things, it’s about connecting with the actual emotions associated with it.

You’re essentially giving what you want a little symbol and pairing it with the emotional experience you want to rehearse. So your body can get used to those feelings before they arrive.

Now if nothing else, this feels beautiful and you will feel incredible after. What I realised after doing this for a really short time was that, I always came out of those meditations more motivated to take action which is really half the battle.

Changing boxes (the meditation that made me believe in sourcery.

Now this was the one I spoke about before and actually my all time fav because of it. A couple of days before discovering this one.. I did my own meditation and as I tend to floating around in space when I meditate, I see lots of different things but weirdly this time I saw all these boxes lined up. For anyone who has ever played around with Akashic records, it felt quite similar to that. Rows and rows full of different versions of me. And I’m opening up these boxes one at a timex, looking at these different realitities and exploring who I could be. It was giving sliding doors and I am here for that.

God, it’s hard to describe this without sounding like I’ve been at the mushrooms but chances are if you’re with me in this rabbit hole, you’ll understand exactly what I mean.

Anyway, I find this meditation of joe’s called ‘Changing Boxes’ and excuse me? It’s literally the exact same thing. Yet another nudge from the universe that I’m in exactly the right place.

So, the idea behind the changing boxes work is that you’re used to being the only version of you that exists. But what if you could start exploring the person who is more confident, more of a risk taker, more peaceful, more open to change.

What if you just stopped opening the same box every morning?

Rehearse your future self. And I mean REALLY rehearse

Now we don’t just want to sit there and think about the lovely house we want, the G wagon we want to drive or the man who feels like less of a human without us by his side.

I’mm talking about mentally rehearsing the actual experience of being the person who lives that life. And this is where I feel most people fall down. Because it’s one thing for that to live in your head, but quite another to go out into the world and act as if, until you have.

This one asks you to think about how you move, how you speak, how you feel and what decisions you would make if you already had the thing, you’re wanting to attract. For example if you want to feel better about yourself, you would vsualise yourself walking down the street, smiling. Feeling confident. You’re glowing, you feel fresh, evryone is looking at you thinking damn.. who is that bitch. You have your shoulder sback, chin up with teh kind of aura that people can feel.

Now the key is don’t just imagine this, like you’re watching a film. Fully embody it. Breathe the feeling in and stay with it.

Now this doesn’t mean, you will come around from meditation having dropped 3 dress sizes. but, it does mean you change how you relate to yourself which does inflience what you feel motivated to do next.

And honestly, the confidence this tool gives you, from the comfort of your own bed should be illegal.

Walk as your future self

And this one follows nicely on from above. The idea is to take the experience as much as possible before you step out of that house.
