MANIFESTING
WITH THE ANGELS
“Life in itself is an empty canvas.
It becomes what you paint it.
You can paint misery or you can paint joy.
This freedom is your glory.”
—Osho
God and the angels want to please you. They want you to be happy and fulfilled and live the life of your dreams. They tell me they are ready to fulfill all of your desires, but it is up to you to receive what you want. When you are ready to receive, you will receive. God gives at the moment the desire is in your heart.
The time it takes for your desire to manifest in your life sometimes depends on you and not the angels and God. It is up to you to prepare yourself to receive what you want. Be sure that your desire is really from the heart and not only in your mind. God and the angels want to fulfill the desires that stem from your heart. If you find that your desire is taking time to materialize, it may be that it is not in your best interest at this time or maybe they have something better in mind. Sometimes we can be grateful for unanswered prayers. It could also be that you feel unworthy and the energy that you are projecting might be preventing your desire from manifesting.
We all wonder at times if someone is really listening to us. People say, “I prayed and prayed again and nothing happened!” I, too, used to feel like this in the past, until I really learned how to pray.
According to some dictionaries, praying also means to implore, to beg, to ask with supplication. Our current system of beliefs may have taught us that we are not worthy. This is false. We do not need to beg or implore to be heard. Simply choose, ask, allow, and be grateful. When we beg or plead, is it like saying to God and the angels that we are not worthy or that we do not believe they shall heed our prayers. We are living in fear.
We are also conditioned to feel guilty about praying, asking, or desiring something for ourselves. The angels want you to know that because you have free will, they cannot help you unless you ask.
In a recent consultation, the angels suggested that we pray for others and also ask others to pray for us. They said that when we pray for ourselves, sometimes we do not feel worthy and can block the manifestation of our desire; but if someone else prays for us and they really believe that we are in need, their prayers may divert our feelings of unworthiness.
It is important to know that you are certainly not a victim of your life but are the creator of it. Life manifests itself continuously, and it is up to us to manifest a positive and serene life that is in accordance with God’s divine plan. The first steps are usually the hardest. Knowing what we want, feeling deserving of it, and believing that it is even possible is the most difficult part. Anything is possible once it is clear to us what we would like to experience and we feel deserving of it and believe in the possibility of our prayers being answered and the angel’s capacity to deliver.
To manifest your desires in life, you need the following:
• Worthiness
• Desire
• Trust
• Imagination
• Gratitude
Worthiness
You are made in the likeness of God, who is the divine Creator. Therefore, you are also a divine creator. The angel’s say that if your life is not what you want it to be, know that on some level, possibly unconsciously, you have created it to be this way. Maybe you feel you don’t deserve any better. I know that when I felt stuck in my life, it was mainly because I felt unworthy of having something better. Unworthiness prevents our desires from manifesting or our life from changing.
You are a divine Creator.
For example, if, when you were young, you felt less than others because you were adopted, you were an “accident,” or you were abused, abandoned, rejected, or humiliated, you may feel unworthy. The angels want you to know that no matter how you were born, you were not an accident. God does not make mistakes. In his eyes, you are perfect, no matter what you have done or experienced in your life. You are worthy of the love and grace of God and the angels simply because you exist. Nothing can affect the love they have for you.
If you experienced any kind of situation that made you feel like you were not lovable or good enough, you may keep attracting those same kinds of situations until you feel and know in your heart that you are worthy of better. A child who is abused by her parents often will attract partners who will continue to abuse her until she decides she is worthy of better. I learned through therapy that I was lovable even though I experienced abuse. The abuse was only an event; it is not who I am. When I understood that I was a victim of an abuser, I could let go of the shame and guilt I felt. I understood that no matter what I lived, God and the angels love me anyway and their love for me is unconditional.
If you feel unworthy, the angels suggest you look at what may be preventing you from feeling worthy of their love and goodness and then build your self-esteem.
Look in the mirror and say, “Even if I was ___________, I am lovable and worthy of God and the angels’ goodness.”
Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence
Make a list of everything you do not like about yourself, and for each item on your list, look in the mirror and tell yourself with LOTS of love, “Even if you ___________, I love and accept you anyway!”
Sometimes situations or circumstances we have experienced have affected our self-confidence. We can build our own self-confidence by doing little things every day that are in line with our true selves and by celebrating our accomplishments.
The angels suggest we look at how we can love ourselves more. For example, make a list of everything you can do to be more loving toward yourself.
Also, make a list of all of your accomplishments, then look in the mirror and tell yourself, “I am so proud of you! I am so proud of all of your accomplishments. You are a strong, beautiful, courageous, and resilient spiritual being, and I am proud to be part of you and your life.”
The angels tell us that it is important to love ourselves to feel worthy of God and the angels’ goodness. How can you love yourself more? Here are some ideas.
• Be impeccable with your words and thoughts. Do not criticize yourself or others. Replace these negative thoughts with words of love, such as “I am beautiful and I love myself! I am perfect just as I am! I am enough! Even though I ___________, I love myself anyway!”
• Become the best person possible, but do not be a doormat or a scapegoat. Love yourself enough to stand your ground. Learn to be assertive.
• Be patient, nice, kind, generous, and lovable. Above all, be honest and genuine.
• Forgive yourself.
• Take care of your appearance and your body.
• Take care of your home, your clothes, and your car. Everything is a reflection of you.
• Fulfill your greatest dreams.
• Smile.
Know that you are a divine child of God. You deserve all the love, health, and abundance that exists in the universe. In fact, this is your birthright. Worthiness begins with self-acceptance. Love and approve of yourself. You are worthy of God’s goodness! Open your arms and your heart to receive it!
You are worthy of God’s goodness!
Desire
Your will is God’s will, so you must know what you want in life. I’ve learned that even though our ego may want the big job with the big paycheck to pay for all the material things we desire, God and the angels want to respond to our heart’s desires, such as the need to make a difference in the world. We must always look into our heart to see what our soul really desires, because those are the needs, desires, and dreams that God and the angels wish to answer. If they answer the desires of our ego, it is usually because we need to learn an important lesson about what is truly important and will make us happy.
Know what you desire in your heart.
A practical exercise to show the angels what you really desire is to make a collage or a vision board of things that represent your dream life. The angels suggest you start by deciding what you would like your life to be. Feel from the depths of your heart what your soul truly desires. What our soul mostly desires is to make a difference in the lives of others, to be of service and live out our passion.
So first take a look at what you would like to contribute to the world. What dreams and passions do you have? Cut out images from magazines that represent those passions and what you would like to accomplish. Next, find pictures of other people who inspire you and are making their own difference in the world. Also, think about what things you would like to experience, what places you would like to visit, and what your dream home and career might look like. Would you like to get married? Have children? Make a collage to show the angels what you really desire in life. Even if a picture is worth a thousand words, I find that adding words to the collage really helps state what you really desire. So find inspiring words that speak to you and add them to your vision board.
Imagine how you want to feel and what you would like to do or achieve in your life. Do not put all the emphasis on acquiring material things. Material things will come if you do what your soul really wants you to do. You can start by making a small collage to put on your refrigerator or you can even paint your vision board.
Trust
You must be open to all possible answers to your prayers. In other words, let go and trust. Leave the “how” up to your angels and God. That is their specialty. Trusting also means having confidence that your prayers have been heard and that God and the angels are already working on them.
Do not worry about how things will happen. Have absolute faith that the divine is answering your prayer. Take small guided steps toward what you want. You have learned to see, feel, hear, and know the signs. So now, follow them. Make a phone call, tour potential houses, or look for a job. Taking guided action is not the same as controlling. If you are feeling impatient, you are probably wanting to control. Stay in a state of calm and receptivity to allow your dreams to come true faster.
The angels tell me that the biggest reason why our prayers seem to go unanswered is because we do not trust; we lack faith. We ask for help and then we try to control everything. Have you noticed that when you are at your wits’ end, when everything seems to be going wrong, when you say, “Okay, I give up!” everything seems to work out like you want? This is when the angels cry out, “Finally! Now we can get to work.”
Our responsibility is to determine what it is we desire and leave the how to God and the angels. It is best when what we desire is in line with the desires that God and the angels have for us too.
For example, let’s say you would like a new home. Imagine the general important features you would like for the home and how you would feel in this new home. Do not ask for the money to buy it or for the employment to provide you with the money. Simply ask for the home. You may inherit a house, win it, or receive it in a way you cannot even imagine! Allow God and the angels to be creative in answering your prayers. Stay open to the possibilities and trust. Do not limit their imagination!
Do not limit the imagination of God and the angels.
Many people pray for help and then spend their time fretting about how to solve the problem themselves. During my private consultations, the angels tell me that we must let go, move out of their way, and trust them. They know what they are doing. Once the request has been made, we must stop thinking about it. We must refocus our thoughts whenever we find ourselves thinking about a solution. The angels suggest that we stay busy, but do not take action unless we feel divinely guided to do so. We must trust that our prayers are being answered even if we cannot see it yet. All things are possible with God and the angels, so we should remain calm and centered in faith and gratitude.
The angels tell me that we must have absolute faith in the manifestation of our desires. Everything already exists in the spiritual world; it is only a matter of time before our desires manifest in our everyday reality. The more receptive and calm we are, the faster our dreams will come true.
You must have the conviction that your beloved exists, that a state of perfect health exists, that your dream job exists, that whatever it is you dream of already exists.
Native Americans believe in what they call the “Field of Abundance.” It is a place where abundance resides, where all that is desired or necessary already exists. When there is a need for a cure, a desired object, or a dream for the future, it already exists in the Field of Abundance. It is up to us to let it come to us, and we can accomplish this by believing that it already exists and that we are worthy of it. Therefore, we must remain in a state of gratitude and receptivity.
The angels say that you can purchase a box and write on the cover “Field of Abundance” and then fill it with your desires. This way, you can see that they already exist and that it is only a matter of time before they materialize in your life.
Imagination
Using our imagination is one of the fastest ways to achieve our dreams, because when we imagine what we want, we feel the emotions that attract our desires to us. This is the Law of Attraction. Children use their imagination when they play and they pretend to live the life of their dreams. When a little girl plays with her doll, she imagines she’s a mother, she pretends. The little boy imagines himself driving a truck and he also pretends.
We must unleash our imagination. The angels say it is better to show them what we want instead of just saying it. The imagination—daydreaming—is more comprehensive than visualization because it includes the emotions as well as an image.
Imagination is not only what we use when we play in kindergarten; it is also our primary means of communication with the spiritual realm.
To better manifest our soul’s desire, the angels recommend that we imagine and feel what we really want as if we were already living it or already had it.
Set aside time every day to imagine the life of your dreams and pretend you are already living it.
Do you want to lose weight? Pretend that you’ve already lost it. How do you feel? Do you feel healthy and fit? Do you eat less and better? Do you move more? Do what you would do if you had already lost the weight. Do you feel happy to be thinner? Do you feel better? How does being slimmer affect you at mealtime? Do you gulp down your food or do you savor every bite with delight? If you were already thinner, would you eat less and better? Start now and pretend; eat less and better and with more pleasure.
Do you want to be in love? Pretend that you already are. Act as if your beloved is already in your life. Talk to them when you wake up in the morning. See yourself making them breakfast. Stroll through the park with your imaginary lover. Light candles in the evening and feel the love in your heart that you feel for your beloved. Pretend that your beloved is near you when you walk, eat, or sleep. Do the things you would do if you were with your beloved. Go for a carriage ride and pretend that your beloved is with you. How do you feel? Spend time every day imagining your beloved by your side and feel how it makes you happy. Pretend that you are in love, that your beloved is with you sharing your adventures, your successes, and your sorrows.
When you pretend, you show God and the angels not only what you want but, more importantly, how you want to feel. The happiness that you feel when you imagine what you want is exactly what will help you attract your desires more quickly. If you are happy, you will attract great things. If you are unhappy, you will attract things on that same energy level. So do things to help you feel happy and fulfilled in order to attract the things that make you feel more happy and fulfilled .
Gratitude
Always be grateful for the fulfillment of your prayers in advance, because from the moment they appear in your heart, they are answered in the spiritual world.
Here are some examples of prayers:
• “Thank you, God and my dearest angels, for finding me the perfect house!”
• “Thank you, God and my dearest angels, for bringing me the perfect beloved!”
• “Thank you, God and my dearest angels, for helping me realize my deepest desire to improve the lives of others!”
• “Thank you, God and my loving angels, for helping me realize my greatest desire to ___________. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
I like to repeat the words “thank you” three times. I feel this anchors the energy of gratitude.
Always be grateful to God and your angels. The more you are grateful, the more signs and messages you will receive from them and the quicker your prayer will be answered.
I start each day by being grateful to God and the angels for their presence in my life. I thank them for all that exists in my life, such as my parents, my family, my friends, my home, my environment, my roof, my food, and my clothes.
When I worked in a government office, I gave thanks every day for my wonderful job, my super colleagues and clients, and all the wonderful opportunities that were presented to me.
Whenever doubt creeps in about your request, simply replace that thought with gratitude. Say, “Thank you for taking care of my request. I know that everything is perfect and is working out for my highest and greatest good and that of others. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Faith
Faith is something you have to build over time. When I look back at my life, I can see that each time I needed something, it showed up. Each time I listened to the guidance, I was rewarded. I have faith that everything is always working out for my highest good. God has always been there for me and always will be.
When you have doubts that your prayer will be answered, you push away the manifestation of your desire and it takes more time to materialize. The more absolute faith you have, the faster your desire will come to pass.
I had a friend who wanted to sell a property for more than a year. She said laughingly, “I asked, but it doesn’t work! I think they don’t understand my accent.” I believe the reason her building wasn’t selling is because she didn’t really believe it. She was living in fear. She didn’t trust the process. Sitting in my living room, I recommended that she imagine the building was being sold. I asked her how it made her feel. She told me she felt free and happy, so I suggested that she stay in that state of emotion and avoid returning to fear. Not long after, the building was sold.
Practice with small requests. Once, at the last minute on New Year’s Eve, I decided that I wanted to go out and have fun. I was told that the event I wanted to attend was sold out, so I said to my angels, “I don’t know how you will do it, but I would really like to go to this place to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Thank you for finding me tickets!” Less than twenty minutes later, the phone rang and my tickets were confirmed.
Our life is created from our beliefs. If we believe that we can achieve something, we will. If we believe that we are not worthy and we do not deserve something, this belief will be true too. I believe that God and the angels want what is in my highest and greatest good and will do everything they can to make me happy.
Believe that you are worthy to receive the grace of God and the angels and you will see miracles occur in your life.
Prayer for Manifesting Your Desires
Here is a sample prayer that you can say in order to help you manifest your desires.
Worthiness
“Lord God, I am worthy of your goodness, your grace, and your blessings. I know that my will is your will and you only want what is best for me.”
Desire
“Dearest angels, what I really desire in my life is ___________.”
Trust
“My dearest angels, I trust you completely. I know you have heard my request and you are already working on its fulfillment. I promise you, my dearest angels, that I will follow your divine guidance.”
Imagination
Reserve at least ten minutes a day to imagine what it is you desire in life and pretend you already have it.
Gratitude
“Thank you in advance, Lord God and my dearest angels, for the fulfillment of my greatest desire, ___________ (state your desire), only if it is for my highest and greatest good and that of others. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
EXERCISE
God and the angels want to please you. They want you to be happy and fulfilled and live the life of your dreams. They are ready to fulfill all of your desires, but it’s up to you to receive what you want. Your prayer is answered the very moment it is in your heart.
These next exercises will help you prepare to receive an answer to your prayers.
Let’s go through the different steps to manifesting.
To manifest your desires in life, remember the following: worthiness, desire, trust, imagination, and gratitude.
Worthiness
In order to feel completely worthy, the angels suggest you work on your self-esteem and self-confidence and invite you to take a look at everything that might be affecting your self-esteem and self-confidence.
For example, you may feel less worthy if you were adopted, were an “accident,” or were rejected, abandoned, humiliated, abused, assaulted, etc., by a parent, mentor, or lover. Know that if an experience makes you feel shame or guilt, you may be a victim of abuse or violence.
You also may be being too hard on yourself about your past failures, your looks, or your education or lack thereof. We are often our own worst enemy.
Make a list of everything that you do not like about yourself or that makes you feel less lovable. Archangel Raphael’s energy is emerald green, and he suggests we use a green pen whenever we desire to heal a certain part of ourselves.
For each thing on your list, look in the mirror and tell yourself with LOTS OF LOVE, “Even if you ___________, I love and accept you anyway!”
Sometimes situations or circumstances we have experienced have affected our self-confidence. We can build our own self-confidence by doing little things every day that are in line with our true selves and by celebrating our accomplishments.
The angels tell us that it is important to love ourselves to feel worthy of their goodness. How can we love ourselves more?
Make a list of everything you can do to love yourself more. Make a list of all of your accomplishments. And look in the mirror and tell yourself, “I am so proud of you! I am so proud of all of your accomplishments. You are a strong, beautiful, courageous, and resilient spiritual being and I am proud to be part of you and your life.”
Desire
The angels invite you to look into your soul to know what it is you truly desire.
Describe in your journal the life you want to live. Write it as if you are already living it in the present.
Also, find pictures and words that represent what you want to live and make a collage or vision board. You can start by making a small collage to put on your refrigerator, or you can even make a vision board that represents your whole life.
Trust
Know that the angels are already working on answering your prayers. Remain open to all possible answers to your prayers. Leave the “how” to your angels. They know how to manifest your desires. Don’t worry about how things will fall into place. Have absolute faith that the divine is working out the details. Focus on taking small guided steps to move toward what you want. You have learned how to see, feel, hear, and know the signs. Now it is time to follow them.
Note any actions you feel guided to take.
Imagination
The angels tell us that using our imagination is one of the fastest ways to achieve our dreams. Set aside time every day to imagine the life of your dreams and pretend you are already living it.
What is your greatest desire?
While you are imagining this great new life, describe in your journal exactly how you would feel over the course of a full day now that your dream has come true.
Remember that most people think, “I will be happy when ___________,” but it is more important to be happy today just because. The joy you have in your heart today will attract and create the happiness you will experience in the future. Happiness cannot be put off until we achieve something. We must be happy first and then the achieving will take care of itself.
Gratitude
The angels suggest that we always be grateful for the fulfillment of our desires in advance, because from the moment they appear in our heart, they are answered in the spiritual world.
Saying “thank you” in advance is like saying to the divine that you have faith that your prayers will be heard and answered.
State what you are grateful for: “Thank you, God and the angels, for ___________. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
Repeating the words “thank you” three times anchors the energy of gratitude.
