So, what's the difference between Manifestation and the Law of Attraction? How do they differ and most importantly, how can you use both of these things to build a life beyond your wildest dreams? 

Manifestation and the Law of Attraction are not the same thing, but they do work hand in hand. Essentially, manifestation is a process where your mind brings something into your physical reality. This can be positive things, negative things, anything. We are manifesting all the time in response to our perception of reality, our view of others and the view of ourselves. Every event in our life is a manifestation of some kind. The difficult part is, most of this (or perhaps all of this) is subconscious, meaning you aren't aware of it. My job, and the job of this podcast episode is to make you more aware of your thoughts and actions and how these may be shaping your physical reality without you realising...although now you are aware, you will start to realise where perhaps you've been going wrong up until this point. 

The Law of Attraction is similar to the law of gravity, it's happening all around us, all of the time, all day long, whether we are aware of it or not, whether we believe in it or not. The Law of Attraction doesn't care about positive or negative, it simply bounces back to you what you give to it. This is why I like to refer to it as a mirror rather than a magnet. Yes, the Law of Attraction is all about attraction, just like a magnet, but a mirror is a reflection. The Law of Attraction will reflect to you whatever you give it and this means that this law can keep people in their very own groundhog day cycle for a very long time; I should know, I was in one myself! 

Dr Joe Dispenza says that up to 90% of our thoughts are the same as the day before...which are the same as the day before...and the same as the day before that. Not only this, if you do the same routines every day, drive to work at the same time, using the same route, and never become aware that if you don't interrupt the cycle in some way and take different action towards your big goals and dreams, the Law of Attraction will simply keep reflecting back to you all of the same thing; the same problems, the same thoughts, the same limitations...everything. 

So how can we use the process of raising our awareness to manipulate the Law of Attraction and Manifestation to work in our favour and start changing our reality? We simply must become more aware of what is going on in our minds on a day-to-day basis and then what actions we need to take in response to these thoughts. 

It's also worth noting that manifestation is not a magical process, despite what some may believe. It is simply the act of bringing something into our lives that we desire. While the term "manifestation" may have been adopted by the spiritual community, it is not inherently spiritual or magical.

Ultimately, we as human beings hold the power when it comes to manifestation and the Law of Attraction. We are the ones who can use our minds to bring our desires into reality. Unfortunately, many of us have been conditioned to believe that we are not powerful or magical beings, which can make it harder for us to manifest our desires - if our subconscious mind has already decided it's not possible for us, then it won't be.

So, gorgeous soul, it's time to reclaim your power and realise that you have the ability to create the life you want.

By understanding the difference between the Law of Attraction and manifestation, you can start to take control of your life and make your dreams a reality!

Welcome to the material world manifestation and spirituality podcast hosted by me Cher Enya. This podcast is here to guide you to becoming the most confident and fearless version of yourself and live and unlimited reader filled life no matter who you are, where you've come from or what you've lived through, despite what you may think you do deserve to live a life that exceeded all your expectations and be totally unapologetic about it along the way. I am your spiritual sister on this journey. So let's jump into this episode. Hello, everyone, welcome to this episode. Today I'm going to be talking to you about the law of attraction versus manifestation. Are they the same thing? Are they not? Do they work in the same way? Do they not? I'm gonna clear all of this up for you today. And I know that when I started on my journey 10 years ago, I just knew about the law of attraction that was really all I knew about and therefore I thought that the law of attraction was the same as manifestation. In fact, at that time, I didn't even think I knew really what the word manifestation meant. But now I know the difference and if you have been wondering the same then this is going to be the perfect episode for you. So let's look at the first question. The most basic question of this episode. Is manifestation the same as the law of attraction. And the answer is no they are not the same, but they do work hand in hand. And I like to say that you can actually manipulate the law of attraction to work in your favour so that you can actually manifest things into your life a lot easier. So let's look at the law of attraction. The Law of Attraction is a universal law that is always working all around us all of the time. Okay. It's just like gravity like the law of gravity. We know it's there. It's always going on. It's always happening it never actually stops. And the law of attraction is the same. And I think the key thing with law of attraction is that it's happening to absolutely every single person. You know, it's not just those of you who know what law of attraction is that it applies to you in your life. know like, gravity works, whether you know about it or not, whether you believe in it or not. The law of attraction is the same. So if like Sally down the road has never ever heard about the law of attraction, then the law of attraction is still going to be happening to Sally wherever she knows about it or not. So the law of attraction is just happening. Manifestation on the other hand is more of a process that you can use as a person to bring your thoughts into your reality. So essentially using your mind to manifest something, taking something from an idea, taking something that does not exist in the physical and then creating it and having it manifest into your physical reality that is manifestation. Now manifestation is not this magical thing that I see many people thinking it is. Manifestation is not magical manifestation is actually just a normal word used by absolutely everyone and really I don't actually have the dictionary definition on me. But essentially what manifestation means is that it's just bringing something into your life like you are just something appears in your life. That is all it means. So it's not a spiritual term. It has been adopted. By the spiritual community. Therefore, I think many people believe that it is a spiritual term, a spiritual word with a spiritual magical meaning, but it's not okay. It's not really, manifestation feels magical. But the only thing that magic about any of this is actually you. That is really the key to all of this is that manifestation and like the universe law of attraction that kind of gives away your power a little bit because you are the one with all the power you are if anything, the magical one. Manifestation is just the responder. The Law of Attraction is just the responder you hold all the power. So just on a little side note about this. I think this is something that society has really like dimmed down on humanity because I've obsessed with like all things the Vikings and things like that. Okay. I've been watching Vikings on Netflix now it's on Amazon, Brian, absolutely love it. Love all things Vikings. So when I'm watching the Vikings and I'm really looking at it from okay, how, what is it that we know of human beings all those centuries ago? Because back then, this idea that humans are powerful humans are actually magical. It was very normal. Like, there were many many seers. No one really feared them. Actually people used to go and visit them for advice. There were people who were creating magic, witchcraft, people could prophesize things that were going to happen people could see things that were going to happen. And it didn't necessarily scatter anyone. It was just something that was whereas now you know if, if we saw someone actually conducting magic in front of us, we have actually all been conditioned to very much fear that and it's a real real shame because that then creates this dim in our light and our power that we actually have and and we don't use all of the gifts that we are gifted with as human beings. So this idea of manifestation being very magical. Is like this thing that it is magic and it's actually not we are such magical beings. As humans, we are the ones that hold the power and I think that really changed and shifted around the scientific revolution. I don't know what year that was in. But before that science was mystic science was a cult it was mystic and all of the scientists before the scientific revolution, were mystics. They were some of the greatest mystics that ever lived. And then the scientific revolution came along and actually, that's when there was a huge separation between mysticism and science were actually really that ultimately the same thing. Everything in sciences is theory nothing is really actually fact everything is is very mystical, magical when you really think about it and look at it but from that scientific revolution we did all become very conditioned to want to know facts. We wanted to know data we wanted to know research, which is fair enough, but manifestation was a little bit of a sidetrack, but it all ties in together. Manifestation really is not magic is essentially what I'm saying manifestation is a process that everyone is conducting in their lives all of the time, using the power of their mind and working with the energies of the universe. And it's really, really exciting. But never ever give away your power. Okay, you are the one with all the power and manifestation is simply just a process and the Law of Attraction is just a universal law that is happening around you all of the time. So let's just compare the two a little bit further. Whether you are intentionally focusing on something or not. The Law of Attraction is always working. Just like I said, whether Sally down the road believes in it knows about it or whether she doesn't know about it or not. It's still going to be working for you. It's just always there. It's very simple as well. Like, attracts like negative attracts negative, neutral attracts neutral, so whatever you are putting out, you are getting back and I'm going to dive into it a little bit further in this episode, but it's really very much like Groundhog Day. If you've seen that film. It's very much like that. That's how law of attraction is the law of attraction because of this can keep people so stuck for such a long time. Because if you fall into the trap, which I did, for a massive chunk of my life, where it was like getting up out of bed at the same time every day, going to drive to work the same way every day going to work, going doing whatever I needed to do after work, coming home, eating my dinner, getting my stuff ready for the next day sitting on the sofa falling asleep, but that's what I did for Monday to Friday. However many years of my life like so many people, and it's not wrong, it's absolutely not wrong. But if you are living your life in that way, and you are always doing the same thing every day, and I think I can't remember the exact figure but Dr. Joe Dispenza says about how our I don't get to say like maybe 80% 70% I don't know, don't quote me on that. But a huge, massive percentage of our thoughts that we have today were the same as yesterday. Those thoughts were the same as the day before and it's just because the law of attraction is just giving us bouncing back to us what we are putting out all of the time. So can you see it's like this game of tennis, or I went to California last year and discovered pickleball turtle I'm gonna say pickleball because I much prefer that to tennis. It's like a game of pickleball okay, like whatever you are hitting over that net. The other person which is the law of attraction in this example is just going to bounce it back to you bounce it back, you're bouncing it it it's bouncing it out to you. It's just the same thing all the time, the same thoughts, the same action, the same limitations, the same things that you are bringing into your life in a positive way and that is why it could create your very own groundhog day in your life the law of attraction can be very, very dangerous. If you as the person just live your life in a way that is very very mediocre in your eyes. Now if you love doing what you do, you know it's absolutely like work and you love doing the same thing every day and you are getting exactly where you need to be in life and you are doing exactly what you wanted to be doing in life. Amazing. The Law of Attraction is working in a really positive way for you. But I know from my experience that I'm going to do that every day, getting up doing the same routine every single day going to work every single day doing the same thing every single day. I was stuck in this law of attraction game of pickleball where I was just never progressing really in anything just if I ever progressed it was the tiny, tiny, tiny, most little steps of progression. And I wasn't gonna get anywhere like I had these big dreams and the law of attraction was keeping me in this little pickleball court where I was never going to actually achieve anything big. The things on my vision board were never going to actually manifest because I wasn't taking any different actions and I wasn't making any different thoughts in my mind. I really wasn't doing anything different every single day ever at all. So that's how the law of attraction can actually keep people stuck. Now I don't want this to scare you in any way. I just want it to raise your awareness of how actually you know routines are great yeah, you might be someone who loves a routine I for one load structure. I don't particularly like the same routine every single day. That's just personal preference. routine is fine, but just be aware of the actions you are taking every day and the thoughts you are thinking every day. And are you getting trapped in this game of law of attraction pickleball where you're not actually moving anywhere. Okay. So essentially the Law of Attraction will attract everything back to you your thoughts. You live your routines, what you believe everything is just bouncing everything back. And that's its job. Manifestation is different. But it does work alongside the law of attraction the process of manifestation does work in a way where law of attraction you can leverage the Law of Attraction essentially, and we are then able to use the power of our minds to manipulate the law of attraction to actually work in our favour and to help us to make big changes in our life and to help us bring in what it is that we want to bring into our lives whether that's money love holidays, a huge massive life change, identity shifts all of it. So essentially, manifestation is the process of focusing your thoughts onto what it is you want in order to bring it into your physical reality. So if you think about it, you have you you have your thoughts in your brain. Now you are aware of how the law of attraction is working. It's just bouncing everything back to you. So that means then once you are aware of the law of attraction, you can start changing your thoughts when you start changing your thoughts, the law of attraction is going to bounce back your thoughts into your life. Okay because you are going to attract more of what you are putting out there. Now this isn't about positive like toxic positivity and things like that. Not at all. This is just being more mindful of what you believe is possible for you. Do you believe it is possible to achieve everything on your vision board? Do you believe that you can bring in a holiday to the Maldives? A G Wagen. These are all things on my vision board. Do you believe that you could bring these things into your life? Start believing it and start thinking about it every single day and start believing every single day that it is possible because that is when you can start manipulating the law of attraction to start bouncing back to you what you are putting out there which is the thought of a G Wagen. The belief that it's possible for you the belief that going to the Maldives is possible for you instead of being caught in a rat race of every single day. Your thought is the same as the day before it's just you just mounted about your boss in your head you're thinking about what you're gonna have for dinner that night, you're thinking about what you're going to watch on Netflix, when you get home. All these thoughts you're thinking Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, you know and on and on and on and on are are just the same thoughts because that's really all that many many people have in their life. But not you. You're going to be thinking more expansive, you've got to be thinking about everything that is actually possible for you in this world because I'm telling you, everything is possible for you everything so now you are more aware of how you can start using the law of attraction to help you bring your manifestations faster simply by changing your thoughts, changing your thought patterns, changing your life patterns. And you know if you have to get up out of bed at the same time every day, and drive to work and do the whole routine thing and come back and now you're starting to think oh gosh, like I don't want to do that because the law of attraction. Don't worry. Can you drive a different way to work sometimes just do something different. Try and do something different to the rat race that maybe you have been in, if you have manifestation is all to do really with your cognitive awareness. You are essentially harnessing the power of your mind whilst working in synergy with the powers of the law of attraction to better bring in what it is you actually want in your life rather than just always attracting the same old shit essentially. And the law of attraction is just a universal law. Whether you are aware of it or not. All it's going to do is bounce back to you what you do to it. It doesn't care if it's good. It doesn't care if it's bad. It's just going to give to you what you're putting out. Lots of people describe the law of attraction as a magnet but I would actually describe the Law of Attraction more as a mirror. You know, if you're looking in the mirror and you are low, you are demotivated which we've all felt like that. It's totally fine. But if you're like that every single day, or if you are not thinking big if you are not trying to change your life in any way and you're looking in the mirror, you just got to see that reflected back to you in the mirror. Whereas if you look in the mirror full of belief as to what is actually possible for you, you're going to look in the mirror and there's going to be someone in that mirror full of hope, looking back at you. So it's up to you how you want to interpret law of attraction. I'm going to interpret it as a mirror. Some people call it a magnet. Let's be honest, nobody really knows what's right or wrong. It is really about what's right and true for you. So the good thing about law of attraction and manifestation and just knowing what the difference is, is that it's going to encourage you to start being more aware of the thoughts that you are putting out into the universe and the frequency that you are actually vibrating on on a day to day basis.
