Why You Need To Get Clear on Your “Why” When Manifesting

When we talk about manifestation there is a lot of focus on the how, when and what. 

What do I want to manifest, what is my goal, how would I like my future to look? What sort of mindset do I need to maintain, what tools and techniques are the best? How long will it take to manifest a small vs big goal? 

These are all valid questions and of course, we’ll be curious about the answers to them from time to time even if we are quite detached from the thing itself. 

However there is perhaps an even more important question that I don’t see enough people ask – WHY? 

That is what I want to touch on today, why our ‘why’ is crucial and how to understand it. 

Setting clear intentions for manifestation

There are two main reasons I decided to write this post today. 

One is that what I wanted to manifest came a lot quicker once I asked the ‘why’ question. It was totally off my radar before, and I was surprised at just how powerfully and smoothly it allowed some of my manifestations to come to fruition. 

Identifying our why is not just a way to get more bogged down in details and over analyze, it actually works! 

The second reason I think this post is so important, is because I do not see manifestation teachers talk about the why nearly enough. 

So often people wish to manifest something – success, a partner, a specific lifestyle – and they are simply handed the tools to do so. There is no interrogation of why they want that thing. 

Manifestation techniques can be extremely powerful – this is not a game. When we manifest we are asking ourselves to change in a radical way, we are influencing our physical reality in a way that we cannot fully grasp yet. 

You don’t know how you’ll handle something until you’ve experienced it first hand.

I know people who are experts at manifesting new relationships. You see them with one person one month, and the next a completely different one. 

Some people are experts at manifesting a job or money. They are always doing something, always moving towards the next goal, always have cash. But that doesn’t mean they are fulfilled. 

Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it! 

There is a difference between manifesting something, getting something, and being able to maintain it! 

Romantic relationships are one of the biggest manifestation goals people have. I do tarot/intuitive readings and this is by far the top issue people come to me about. 

Love is one of those things that disengages us from critical thought, I don’t think I need to elaborate much there 😂 

I have experienced the kind of intellectual fog that accompanies infatuation or lust, yearning or desiring someone I just want things to work out with. I have seen many intelligent and capable people take the same trip. 

Living in The End

Sometimes having the best manifestation techniques at our disposal is not actually helpful, when we aren’t clear on what we want. Because we end up manifesting things out of fear, loneliness and boredom.

For this reason, knowing why you want something is just as important if not more than knowing you want that thing. 

We all operate from whys, whether we are conscious of it or not – we have many big and small whys that shift around in importance over the course of or life. 

Everything we want to manifest comes alongside a why! We might want to manifest loads of money, because we want to feel more secure. We might want to manifest a loving relationship, because we want to feel seen. 

I’m not saying every desire or want we have is rooted in lack, I have experienced desires that come not from missing something but wanting to create something just because it feels good. However, we are humans and we do have needs. There is nothing wrong with this! 

Getting very clear on those needs, allows us to approach them with more awareness. So, think of what it is you currently want to manifest and ask yourself ‘What is my why?’ 

What are the base emotions influencing my desire for this thing? 

We manifest from this base emotion, an energy of lack and/or desire.

So my biggest piece of advice here is to get clear on your why.

Use the manifestation techniques and routines that resonate with you, but always go back to the base emotion you are trying to attain.

If you want to be financially free – you need to be in a state of security often.

If you want to manifest a new relationship – you have to be in a state of self-love consistently.

It doesn’t matter how often you visualize the end goal, if you are not in these emotions as well. At least that’s what I’ve found.

Neville Goddard refers to something similar to this as ‘Living In The End,’ or ‘State of the Wish Fulfilled.’

If you had exactly what you wanted, you wouldn’t live each day as if you were trying to get it!

Check in with yourself throughout the day and just ask ‘What state am I operating from?’

Do you feel calm, secure and focused on the task in hand…or are you anxious, rushing, focused somewhere you are not?

Gently bring your state of being to where you want it to be on this spectrum.
