Manifestation - The Power Tool of the Universe

Manifestation. An amazing power? Yes, it can be. It can be an extremely useful tool, assuming it is used correctly. The trick, really, is using it correctly.
I used to do a meditation to help me with manifestation (I’ll cover this in another post), until I realized I could manifest things like a restaurant serving my favorite type of food without too much thought. Larger “wishes” still require some work, but the key thing I learned is that you have to truly, deeply ‘feel’ what it is that you are manifesting. Not ‘want’, but ‘feel’.
This is where the trouble comes in.
Say you are driving down the street, and you ‘feel’ that the light is about to change, and it does. You hear someone coughing, and you ‘feel’ that you are going to get sick, so you do. And it gets worse.
My three-year-old is very willful, and though I try my best to keep her safe, the brave little soul just has to reach out and explore the world around her. Sometimes, however, she goes too far. At those times, I tell her what is likely to happen, but she ignores me, and sure enough, my warning comes true.
Such as one day, when pushing our newborn baby in her buggy, my tiny-terror ran ahead to the subway escalators trying to catch up with her best friend. I called to her to wait for me, but she didn’t. As I was just about to reach her, I warned her not to go on the escalators (a very steep, long set) without me, or she was likely to fall down. I was really frustrated with her disobedience, and wanted her to understand the danger. Then, without consciously trying, I ‘felt’ it. Within seconds she had tumbled down two stairs. She was okay, but scared, as we all were.
I realized, as we were traveling down the second set of escalators (with my daughter right next to me holding the handle of the buggy), that I had manifested that situation, and many more like it, without trying, and without wanting to.
I understand now why we are not all born with the ability to manifest. The act of manifesting is something to be carefully learned and used, much like the use of power tools. While much can be achieved and gained, if you are not truly aware of your thoughts and actions, you can create some enormous problems.
