welcome back to another episode of the Let's Manifest Podcast. Today I had an idea for this episode when I was walking my dog, Maya, at the park by our house. So I thought I would share a little bit about our backstory and how this park inspired this episode.
Before we bought our house. My husband and I were just driving around Vegas in different little neighborhoods and we stumbled upon this beautiful park and it's a French style gardening kind of park, and I just fell in love with it and I remember thinking, wow, I would love to live here someday.
And lo and behold, what ends up happening? A house comes on the market in our budget. Everything, when we initially were driving around this area was way outside our budget.
Honestly, looking back at that, that was 2008. I know now with manifestation, I manifested that. I fell in love with the area. I could envision myself being here. I said that was something I'd really love. Now, at the time, I didn't know anything about manifestation, but I let that go to the universe as a desire and a wish. Lo and behold, the house that we now are living in becomes available. The bank dropped the price a hundred thousand dollars and it fell into our budget. Nothing else around here was in our budget, and we ended up getting the house.
Now, knowing what I know about manifestation, that was a complete manifestation. Now. Bringing us back to that park. That was part of why I wanted this house 'cause it's such a beautiful park and I have dogs and always plan to have dogs, despite what my husband might say. But I like walking in the park and also around the neighborhood.
But it's nice to have a different place to walk and I've met amazing people at the park. Well, let me tell you a little bit about this park and I how I had the realization this morning for this episode. Now, as you know, and as I've said before, everything is a manifestation.
Everything starts as a thought. You're always manifesting. You might not be manifesting what you want, but you're always manifesting. So let's think about this park at some point. This was just Desert Vegas is just desert if you look on the outskirts of it. But someone had the idea. We're going to put a park here.
And from that idea, they hired a landscape architect, and together these two people created a vision of what they wanted. The landscape architect says, okay, what kind of things do you want people to be able to do in this space? They're creating this mental picture. People could be picnicking or, the park has basketball courts, tennis courts, beach volleyball courts,
The middle green area is a big oval and a lot of people come and play football or soccer or volleyball in that area. There's shuffleboard, there's bocce ball, there's even horseshoes. There's a wonderful walking loop all around the park and people are there all the time walkers, people with their dogs, kids on bikes, joggers every single day.
This park gets incredible amount of use. There's two play areas for kids. There's a rec center and lots of parking. It's just a really beautiful space. But the urban planner and the landscape architect got together and they. Worked on this vision of what they wanted to see in 3D reality. This is how we intentionally manifest.
We have an idea, we create this image in our mind. We start bringing it into reality and just kind of almost like a vision board, there would be a set of design and drawings made, whether it's hand drawings or AutoCAD or Revit or something like that. I am married to an architect, by the way. But, these set of plans become a 3D thing that somebody can hold, right?
And so that's the first part of the manifestation. And from that, the terrain gets modified. They contoured the land to deal with the grade changes they put in these little hills. They amended the soil, they set water lines. They put in the foundations for all the different sport activities that are there.
They put in trees and they put in. All the parking and stuff like that, and so it starts to take form and each part of the park has these different green spaces and there's trees all in a big oval. There's a maze that you can walk through that has a sundial in the middle,
so you could just see how this. Once started as an idea in someone's head is now in the 3D reality and people are there every day enjoying this park. So manifesting is the same thing and you can think about it like gardening. So we are planting seeds in the soil of what you want intentionally manifesting your dream.
Life is similar to designing. This park. It takes a thought. It takes vision, right? You're dreaming and thinking about it and closing your eyes and wondering, how would I see this? How would I feel? How do I want the people, this park to feel? That's what they're doing.
It's taking intention, it's taking time. It's taking, aligned action, and all those things. Bring that into reality. Think about manifesting, kind of like creating a garden. We want to plant seeds of what you want to intentionally manifest. If you are not intentional about what you want to manifest in your dream life, you're gonna manifest more of the same.
You are going to say yes to opportunities that come to you that may not be what you want perfectly, but they're just coming to you. So if you really want this beautiful garden of vegetables or flowers, you're going to intentionally plant those seeds. What happens after we plant a seed? Well, we're not gonna go dig it up every day and check on it.
Are you going now? Are you going now? Do you have roots? Did you die? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What happens if you don't water it? If we neglect it, it dies. Right? Watering the seeds would be cultivating your manifestation with supportive thoughts, with supportive beliefs. The aligned energy, the aligned action in a garden, you're probably taking out little weeds,
that don't need to be there. Those are those negative thoughts. The limiting beliefs that you have, those are the weeds in the garden, and sometimes we need to take other things out in order for other stuff to grow that might be taking something that no longer serves you, that's taking up your attention and energy off your plate.
And putting more time and attention into something you actually want to cultivate, grow, and manifest. So right now at the park, there's this invasive khaki weed species that causes these little burr like stickers, things to form, and they're getting stuck into people's feet and animals' feet. And so they're killing off all these parts of the grass, and they've been working on this for a couple months.
Every so often they spray part of the grass and they have these signs up. Don't walk on the grass. Then we have this big patch here along the edge of the sidewalk that's all brown, so part of the grass has been killed with this invasive weed species, and now they're to the point where they've dug up the dead grass.
And so the park that looked. Absolutely beautiful ones. Doesn't look so pretty at the moment. And I stopped to take some pictures this morning because I idea hit me that this is the in-between, this is part of the law of rhythm. It's one of the universal laws that sometimes things get worse before they get better.
So they've taken out the grass and in parts of the park they've put. New seed down and new top soil and they're watering it and they're trying to regrow a new species of grass there to blend in and beautify it. And those aren't literally the seeds are manifesting. That's eventually going to look how they want it to with the nice green, new grass that doesn't stick in your feet.
And so they planted the seeds for the new vision. They're watering it. They're nurturing it. They're asking people to stay off of it. They're not going and checking on those seeds all the time. And so when we're nurturing it, when we're watering it, when we're giving it light, that's analogous to us cultivating those seeds of what we want to manifest.
The attention, the belief, the action, the going forward in faith. Then we give it a little time and things start changing. They start growing. They start manifesting into the 3D. This grass starts growing. Now, if you've ever done a renovation at your house, you've probably gone through a similar part of this.
You have a desire for something different than what's currently there.. We make a choice, which is another idea that we're going to do something about it, and we start to take that action. I know when we bought our house, I'm like, okay, I like certain things about it, but this tile has got to go. Or there was carpet in the bathroom. I don't know why. That seems like a horrible thing for mold and mildew. , We took it out and during that renovation process, things get worse before they get better,
when you're renovating or if you've never done a renovation, just think about you're cleaning out your pantry.
You gotta take everything out and before you know it, you have this big mess, but before it comes together, back organized, and clean and beautiful again, or that amazing kitchen remodel, that you're doing, and we have remodeled our kitchen, it's takes time and it's not fun. Not having. A stove and a microwave and all your things there, but the result was 10 times better than what we had, and it was so worth it.
And I'm thinking, why didn't we do this sooner? This was amazing. But it takes the energy, it takes the vision, it takes the belief it takes, sticking it out through that in between period when things don't look very pretty, but they're growing. And the belief that it's going to get better. So I just had that thought when I was walking today and they had all these, pardon, our renovation kind of signs up on the grass and I was like, oh, they're manifesting a new version of the park, a new vision for this park, and.
Sometimes we just have to plant our seeds and remain in faith that it's going to grow. But we also have to make sure we're tending it and cultivating it by giving it the energy and the thoughts and staying in belief that it's going to happen for us and being patient for the universe to deliver it to us.
I hope this gives you a little different way to think about the manifestation process. And there's all the quantum physics behind actually how this happens.
And that's the stuff that I've talked about in a little bit of the Science Behind Manifestation episode and also in the Modern Manifestation Academy where we blend the neuroscience, where we blend the quantum physics in with personal identity and development work where we're reprogramming your subconscious mind.
We're changing those limiting beliefs. We're attending those. Weeds in the garden, right? And we're cultivating a new dream life by manifesting new things that you desire. I hope you found this episode helpful as a different way to think about manifestation.
