Accidental Manifestation: Personal Experiences
The speaker recounts two personal experiences that led her to believe in "manifesting," even without understanding the scientific basis.
1. Diary of a CEO Podcast Invitation:
- Event: In October, the speaker expressed a strong desire to be invited onto the "Diary of a CEO" podcast, hosted by Steven Bartlett.
- Action: She stated this intention aloud during a team call, saying, "Guys, may I earn the spot to be invited on that podcast one day? I would just love to be on Diary of a CEO. I have to work hard enough to make sure I can earn a spot on that podcast."
- Outcome: The very next day, producers from the podcast reached out and invited her on the show. This occurred after she had articulated the desire with clear intention, though she hadn't said it out loud before.
2. MasterClass Opportunity:
- Event: A few months later, in the spring, the speaker saw an advertisement for MasterClass and admired their productions.
- Action: She voiced her wish to her husband, saying, "Do you think I'll ever get to do a master class?" and later, "I really wish I could do a master class." She also visualized the experience: "I envisioned like this this in my mind it was like this like pop of my head of me in a blue dress in a very brightly lit room... I was like gosh if I if I could have that me that that masterclass bokeh effect just love that effect and just just that line if I could ever say I'm Vanessa man Edwards and this is masterclass man that would be that would be a moment."
- Outcome: Two days later, her team informed her that MasterClass had emailed. Initially, she experienced imposter syndrome, doubting its authenticity and suspecting it was fake or a phishing attempt. However, after her team verified the email's legitimacy, it was confirmed that MasterClass genuinely wanted her to participate.
- Fulfillment: The MasterClass launched the following week. The speaker found herself in a brightly lit room, wearing a blue dress (a detail she chose, not manifested), and on camera, she said, "My name is Vaness. I'm Vanessa Edwards and this is MasterClass." This moment mirrored her earlier visualization.
The "Woo" Factor and Potential Process
The speaker acknowledges the "woo" or non-scientific nature of these experiences, stating, "This is so woo. I know this is woo. I I can't even believe I'm saying this right now." She suggests a potential, albeit unscientific, process for manifesting based on her experiences:
- Say it Out Loud: Articulate the desire clearly to supportive individuals (team, partner, friends).
- Clear Visualization: Envision what the desired outcome would look like.
- Send it Out There: Release the intention into the universe.
The Crucial Element: Willingness to Do the Work
A significant point emphasized is that manifestation, in her experience, is coupled with a willingness to put in the necessary effort.
- Diary of a CEO Example: She stated her desire to "earn that spot" and be "aggressively helpful to his listeners," indicating a commitment to preparing and delivering valuable content.
- MasterClass Example: She questioned if her content was strong enough and if she was willing to "put in the work to be able to do it," confirming her readiness to invest the effort.
- Visualizing the Work: She suggests visualizing not just the outcome but also the "work and energy it will take to get it."
Current State and Manifesting for Others
The speaker states she has no personal needs to manifest at this moment, feeling grateful for an "incredible year." Instead, she intends to manifest for others, specifically for her friend Kim, who is hoping for a baby girl. She expresses a desire to "manifest what you need" and "put in the work and let's get it."
Call to Action and Community Engagement
The speaker concludes by inviting viewers to share their own manifesting stories and processes in the comments, asking:
- "Has it worked for you?"
- "Do you have the same process?"
- "Are we all accidentally doing the same thing?"
- "What is your crazy manifesting story?"
She expresses a desire to learn if others have similar experiences or processes.
