How to Make Your Manifestation Practice Work For Real

TL;DR: The author shares a client “Claude’s” journey, which proves real change begins with real presence. When clients fully engage in the Positively Focused practice, they unlock powerful manifestations, deep clarity, and lasting emotional alignment.

When it comes to living a Charmed Life, how we show up to the Positively Focused practice matters.

That’s the lesson a client “Claude” is experiencing firsthand. Claude came into the Positively Focused practice holding years of negative momentum. His relationships — with his wife, his mother, and most poignantly, himself — were filled with tension, resistance, and guilt. And yet, he remembered a different version of himself; As a teenager, Claude was athletic, magnetic, and full of life.

“He could do anything and excel,” his sister, who also is a client, once said of Claude. His high school coaches said he had the talent to go pro in both baseball and golf, she told me. That sovereign, high-flying version of him still existed. But he didn’t know how to get back there.

Enter the practice.

A Necessary Life Rebound

Claude found Positively Focused in the aftermath of a particularly difficult stretch. During COVID, he had aligned with some powerful, fear-based narratives circulating online. The government is lying. The vaccine is dangerous. Masks are a scam. These weren’t just passive beliefs—he began advocating them, urging those around him to wake up to what he thought was “truth.”

But here’s the thing: when we advocate for disempowering stories, even if we believe we’re fighting for justice, we attract realities consistent with our alignment. In Claude’s case, that meant alienating loved ones, losing friendships, and watching his business crumble.

This mirrored my own experience years ago when I was heavily advocating for Copiosis. I believed the world needed to change. I had strong opinions about capitalism and money—and as I rallied against them, those very things became absent in my own life. It wasn’t until I released that resistance, aligned with what I wanted, and stopped pushing against what I didn’t, that my finances and life began to rebound.

Claude’s trajectory looked the same.

He began the Positively Focused practice with sincere desire, but with a major obstacle: belief in his own unworthiness. When someone holds the belief that the Universe doesn’t have their back, they can say all the affirmations they want—but the vibration isn’t clean. The practice doesn’t land. That’s what was happening for Claude.

He told me, “I’m doing the processes, but nothing’s changing.”

I asked him, “Are you meaning it? Are you feeling it when you do it, or just reciting words?”

He paused. “I guess I’m just going through the motions.”

Exactly.

The Power Of The Practice

The practice works when you mean it. Not with perfection. Not with forced effort. But with sincerity, willingness, and presence. When you bring your heart to the process, it transforms you.

Another client recently experienced this truth in the most spectacular way. Like Claude, he had a deep well of unworthiness and years of misanthropy. He, too, was doing the practice—his own version of it, that is. And not surprisingly, it wasn’t working. But the moment he got “militant,” as he put it, about doing the processes as prescribed—with real feeling, commitment, and desire—everything shifted.

A woman approached him, asked for his number, and took him out on a date, paying for everything. That had never happened to him before. You can read that story here.

These aren’t stories of luck or coincidence. They are examples of alignment. They are what happens when we move from lip service to devotion.

And devotion doesn’t mean doing the process perfectly. It means doing it deliberately, it means, as I often tell clients, bringing your whole self to it. It means not just saying, “I love that the Universe has my back,” but feeling into that knowing. Even if just for a few seconds.

That’s when the magic unfolds. That’s when we feel the resonance of our Broader Perspective. And that’s when reality starts to shift.

Lining Up With Our Sovereignty

Claude is starting to see this now. He’s realizing that the ease, joy, and sovereignty he remembers isn’t lost. It’s right here—on the other side of the vibration he’s practicing.

As I told another client this week, “Whatever we look for in life, that’s what we’re going to see. So why not look for the positive aspects?”

The Positively Focused practice is designed to help anyone do just that. But like life itself, it only works when we show up fully. Not because we should. But because we want to.

When we mean it, life responds. Not in theory. In manifestation. In real-world results that confirm our expansion is underway.

And that’s the point: We’re not here to fix the world. We’re here to align with the version of it that matches our joy. Do that and everything else lines up—including the relationships, the finances, the sovereignty, and the dreams we thought we left behind.

Claude’s story is still unfolding. But already, the light is coming through. Because he’s beginning to mean it.

And when we mean it…it matters.

How Hating People Can Destroy Business Opportunity

An interesting dynamic/trend showed up in my client practice in the last few weeks. The trend prompts from within me a question worth asking: Does humanity hate itself?

Of course, this is NOT a dominant vibration across all humanity. LOVE is the dominant vibration. But humans “enjoy” free will. Some can, therefore, turn towards “the dark side”. And, apparently, some do, while not really knowing that’s what’s happening.

Two clients find themselves now looking at misanthropic beliefs driving interactions with people in their lives. One person’s experience, who I wrote a long post about, publishes in July. Today, I want to talk about what another client and I uncovered.

This client runs a business. I wrote about her experience before this week, here, and here. Her business has few customers, all reflecting the current state of the owner’s alignment (aka “being a match”) to the version of the business representing “success”. The customers she does have are, of course, people. Like all humans, they have beliefs and momentum stemming from those beliefs, many of which are distorted. So, depending on how one views those people, they show up in different ways.

“Ghosts” as co-creators

I call this client “Madison” in the previous posts. At first, Madison, was excited to have these customers. But as time went on and these people’s “peopling” emerged, so too did Madison’s misanthropic beliefs.

“I like people…to an extent.” She said when I asked her about complaints she made about her customers.

I would think she would hold very positive beliefs about these people. They are, after all, paying her and co-creating her business along with her into exactly what Madison wants. And yet, she focused on what’s wrong (in her eyes) with these customers rather than everything going right with them.

What’s really interesting is, her complaints about the customers caused those troubles she sees in them to dominate her awareness. Two of the customers, according to Madison, “ghosted” her, for example. They would not return her calls after the first conversation in which they showed initial interest. Meanwhile, I knew both customers were in the bag, so to speak, that they were going through their own internal processes to become the customers Madison wanted.

In the bag

But all my client could see was what she believed to be evidence that they were NOT in the bag. Which is why when I reminded her she had these two customers, she got really frustrated with me. She could only see evidence aligned with what she believed. Not what I knew. She was right. I was wrong. The customers were NOT customers.

But they were. Of course, Universe had the last word on this.

One of the customers is Madison’s dentist. Madison told me during our conversation where she ranted about how this customer ghosted her, that she had a dental appointment in the next few days. She worried about how awkward that appointment will be given the current status of the deal.

I reminded her the deal is in the bag and not to worry about it. She wasn’t hearing that, however.

Sure enough, though, after her appointment, Madison called me excited. She said the receptionist enthusiastically told her the dentist was eager to talk with her about the deal. They were ready to move forward, the receptionist said, and wanted to get a date on the calendar to get started.

My client said she was concerned about setting that meeting on a day where the dentist had patients. Madison didn’t want to inconvenience him. But the dentist, while examining my client, cut to the quick: he said he wanted to get this work done and told her not to worry about that. Let’s just get it on the calendar, he said.

When they did meet, Madison told me, the dentist didn’t haggle. He didn’t resist anything. He was good to go at the full price my client initially quoted. A full-price paying client in the bag!

Distortion kills relationships

So this is really instructive: Our beliefs about people shape what we see in people. Our beliefs can create or hinder any potential. Had the client not been in the Positively Focused practice, she might have taken action based on her “ghosting” belief that could have completely severed the deal and confirmed her negative interpretation.

How many times have we held a belief about someone, an interpretation, which triggered frustration or anger in us, then we acted on that frustration or anger in a way which killed the relationship, a relationship that could have gone the other way had we held a different belief about it and acted from that belief instead?

Relationships, intimate ones and business ones, have ended simply because of distortions active among the parties invovled. Madison’s kerfluffle with her employee, which I wrote about in the posts I linked to earlier in this post, was based on such distortions. Distortions both parties — Madison and Jane — held about the other. Madison was ready to let Jane go.

Today, they’re stronger than ever and committed to using the practice to see the best in each other. That’s a really good thing and a great outcome from a strongly negative experience.

Becoming gods that we are

There are a lot of people in the world right now railing against other people. Their beliefs about those people aren’t positive. When we point a finger at another, in blame or accusation, three fingers remain pointing back at us. This tells us, what we blame or accusation another about, exists in us in abundance. And so does the solution to what we’re complaining about.

Complaint contains strong belief momentum. That momentum, persisted with, will eventually gain more momentum, leading to misanthropy, which is a chronic state of complaint about people. That momentum will inspire matching behavior in us as well as behavior confirming beliefs we have about those we revile. And that explains why so many harbor such lowly beliefs about their fellow humans.

They’re creating the versions of those people they hate.

The good news is, it’s not permanent. Everyone releases such distortions after death. But why wait until then? Like Madison, we can walk into a new world, one where everyone becomes for us the angels that they are, reflecting back to us what is dominant in us. In other words, we can reveal to ourselves what others really are: servants of our sovereign expansion.

We can do that now, in this life. We don’t have to wait until after death. But we must choose. Then we must devote ourselves to this worthy cause. The cause that is our expansion into our greater god-self.
