I remember Christmas morning when I was about 10 or 11 years
old, and one of the gifts that I had opened on this particular
Christmas, one of the things that I will never forget to
because I religiously begs, my mom for this was a Volkswagen
Beetle for my Barbie Don't judge me.
I play with Barbies very late in life.
That is okay protecting my inner child but anyways, so I opened
the box and there it is, a cherry red, Volkswagen Beetle
for my Barbie and four months. I would just plop my Barbie in
this car drive, her around my room, drive her around my living
room and then one day I was just like, you know what?
When I get older this is the car that I'm going to have like it's
was as soon as I can drive like this is the car that I'm going
to have and then I remember just thinking about like what color I
will wanted to be and I was just like oh I would want it to be
like a cream color or green. And at the time I was like,
overly obsessed with the color, lime green.
And I was also very much into Hello, Kitty more to this story
fast forward. I talked a little bit about me,
working at a car dealership when I was in high school on the
previous episode. So one day or one evening after
work, because I would go to work after school work for 4 hours
into the evening. So one evening were nearing
closing time and my mom walks into my job drops, a white
envelope on my desk and walks out and I'm just thinking in my
head like what did I do? This lady is mad at me, she's
acting mad weird, like what, what's going on?
So I pick up the envelope and I open it.
And it is the key to a Volkswagen Beetle.
Obviously full of excitement, Irish outside.
My mom has her car and she's parked next to a lime, green
Volkswagen Beetle. Now, mind you, I got this.
Cherry red toy version when I was about 10 or 11 years old.
And I saved it for a really long time just because I to me, I had
spoken so many words of positivity and affirming like
this was my card saved it for years until my mom was finally
like girl you got to get rid of it.
Like I didn't even play with it was just up in the top of My
closet where I was just saving it for the moment that I would
eventually have it and then my mom made me get rid of it and I
guess it was me releasing that out into the universe and
trusting that it would happen. And eventually one day I did,
and here I am. My first car is this car that I
had manifested and back to the obsession with Hello Kitty?
I named her Hello Kitty. No correction.
I named her little kitty and I had personalized, license plates
and I had this lime green iPod to match.
And the interior was all cream. Like I legit had manifested this
exact car and that was like my first experience with my ability
to manifest things and the power of manifestation and how, as
long as you call things into your life, how easy.
Well I won't say easy. How effortlessly powerful it is
for you to attract the things that you call in, welcome to
living divinely. The Divine always this podcast,
I'm your host, a journey founder and editor-in-chief of divine
Oasis. Bi-weekly.
I use this platform to dissect, what it means to live a well
Live Life, by exploring ways that we can create space for
ourselves through. Intentionality, truth, love and
authenticity. To accomplish great things, we
must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also
believe that is a fortune that I recently found in a fortune
cookie while eating Chinese food.
I laugh, I find it funny, but the fortune was so fitting for
this current episode which is all about reimagining your life,
through the power of manifestation.
I have always been and will always be an advocate for
manifesting the life that you desire.
I am just one of those people who truly believe in not playing
small and always going after whatever it is that, you know,
in your heart that you deserve. I personally am not an expert or
not a professional when it comes to manifestation, I can only
speak from personal experience and things that I've learned
throughout life and things that I've learned to trust.
And for me manifestation has always begin with an anchor.
What is your anchor? How do you real things in?
Or how do you remain grounded and true to the things that you
believe in. when it comes to living a life that you're
manifesting and creating an abundant life, My anchor begins
with healthy safe, enjoyable. Love.
Whether this is the love that I show myself and give myself an
important to myself or the love that I receive from others.
I am not living my best Abundant Life.
I am not my best self if my life isn't rooted.
And love. Manifesting an abundant life to
me is all about me. Creating experiences that feel
like love. But make me feel a sense of joy.
It's also me. Choosing to curate a life that
is very much rooted in me pouring into and Catering to my
mind. My body and spirit and also
being truly careful about building relationship with
people who do the same thing. Manifesting a life of abundance
is just me. Choosing to dedicate time to my
growth loving on the right. People celebrating my wins
celebrating life. Me being a positive example as a
mother, and just overall being one with who I am as a woman who
I am. Is it as An individual. an
abundant life is Also, just me choosing a reality.
That. How do I want to say?
That is seamless. A reality.
That is peaceful. That does not require me to
struggle. I do not subscribe to and do not
believe in the mindset that life has to be rooted in drama.
For there to be a positive outcome or positive experiences
on the other side of that drama in that chaos?
No ma'am. In this life, in this time, in
this body, I fully opt-out of struggle.
Struggle is not my Ministry, but it's been taught upon us for
decades that, you know, you see it a lot like, oh, I had to
struggle to get here. Here but I'm living well now or
you know I had to do all these things and go through all these
trials and life doesn't have to be hard.
Life is what we make it life. Does not have to be hard for
relationships. Does not have to be hard.
I just I'm a firm believer in there is a lot of shit that we
create for ourselves. A lot of circumstances and
situations that we make difficult when they absolutely
do not have to be. I also think about manifestation
and what is what it's become and what we make it out to be and
what it is not When we think about manifestation today or
just living an abundant life in general, we've heard it a lot
over the last several years and it's like a life rooted in
abundance of Life, rooted in luxury.
The first thing you think about when you hear the word luxury is
material things and Well yeah, that is true in a lot of ways
when it comes to life and manifesting an abundant life, it
is so much more than material possessions.
There are so many more luxury luxuries in life that are
beautiful things, beautiful experiences that do that have
nothing to do with what you own or what you buy, you know,
there's things like the luxury of peace or the luxury of
privacy. The luxury of safety within the
company of others, the luxury of safety within the company of
yourself things that are priceless. things that you can't
buy and you also have to think about the aspect of like there's
so many people who have things who have possessions and you can
have all the things in the world but when it all comes down to
it, how do you feel about yourself, do you love yourself?
Are you happy and content with your present environment?
Are you surrounded by individuals who, you know,
without a doubt would move Heaven and Earth for you.
Do you even feel safe in your own body?
So we think about what we're manifesting in life.
I think it should definitely Focus Less on the material
aspect and more on created a like creating a life or
manifesting a life of security. It's not just solely rooted and
it should not solely be rooted in material possessions.
Because in my personal opinion, I just believe that the material
aspect of manifestation is just the bottom of the tier and it's
important for us to all understand that possessions
don't equate to happiness. You know, a lot of people have
things And they focus all of their energy and all of their
time on, manifesting the material things in life, all of
their energy is drawn to the material aspects, but they
neglect themselves. You know, think about the people
who, you know, that things may be good but they're unkind
people or they constantly talk about how they don't like their
environment. When it comes to manifestation
like the personal work and the self work is incredibly
important when it comes to manifesting the life that you
desire. One thing that I don't hear a
lot of people talk about is the ways that we repeal are
manifestations or block them from entering our current
reality just through our actions alone. so let's talk a little
bit about manifestation repellents, one of them being
you choosing to believe in your fears over having faith, which
is why I started the episode with that fortune because it's
when you want to manifest great things like Yes, you have to
act, yes, you have to do the work and yes, you have to dream
but you also have to believe and have unwavering faith.
You repel what you don't have or what you desire to manifest by
living in fear that it will never happen.
If you constantly focus on the negative or living for the
problem and not the solution, you're your repelling, the
positive outcome. So, it's best to stop focusing
on your fears so that you can start actualizing your desires.
Another comment repellent is the lack of change in mindset.
Manifestation, it just everything in life begins with
the mind. Mindset elevation and believing
in what it is that you pray for what it is that you work for.
That is the most critical component of manifestation.
Your mind is such a powerful tool.
Interest me, whatever you focus on, you have the power to
manifest even if those things aren't positive.
So choose to focus on being present in your body and present
in the moment, choose to focus on the positivity, choose to
focus on the blessings pouring in and don't even think about
what happens if they if they don't.
If the buses don't pour in, don't think about, don't pray
for things and think about the possibility of them not
happening because truly is that actually a possibility, it
shouldn't be. I know for many of you
listening, it's so much more easier to focus on the bad.
It's so much more easy easier to focus on the negative.
But ask yourself. How has focusing on the negative
things ever. Served.
You It hasn't in a lot of times, we give all of our energy and we
live in this anxious state of mind.
We give all of our energy to the possibility of what if this
happens, what if this goes wrong and then it all works out.
And you wasted valuable energy. I'm pretty much nothing.
You are in full control of your mind and you absolutely have the
power to choose to call and all the beautiful things for
yourself. What do you dream of?
What do you want to do in life? What do you want to achieve?
when you're thinking about the life that you want to manifest,
are you also mentally emotionally and spiritually
doing the work to prepare yourself for what you're calling
into your life? How do you set the tone and
prepare yourself for what's to come one of my favorite
questions to ask myself is how are you receiving meaning and
I'm moving and operating as an open vessel and I asked if am I
fully prepared for what I'm asking for.
Also in my creating space in my life for new things to enter in.
What does creating space for your manifestations?
Look like, sometimes this could mean a shift in your lifestyle
and your daily routines. Does this mean no longer
drinking alcohol or partaking in certain drugs?
Does this mean a shift in your daily habits?
Your nightly routines or morning routines?
Sometimes they're shifting. You know what we choose to do in
the morning are what we choose to do at night can make a huge
difference. A shift in our reality.
Could also mean like catering to our health a little bit more
eating better working out. More does this mean changing
your wardrobe or shifting up your outer appearance?
I'm just a firm believer to of For the life that you wish to
attract, like when you look good you feel good.
You attract all the good things and that is my belief, creating
space to manifest your desires. Can also look like just being
mindful of what you attract, vibrationally through sound your
words and of course your thoughts but ultimately like how
I just mentioned maybe a shift in your morning routines may be
your morning routine changes from you listening to you know
future in the morning to you turn it up a little bit.
Of jazz. I know it's hard to break away
from the things that were accustomed to, but I also think
it's important to think about the Mind space, we're putting
ourselves in what we're attracting in and what we can do
to shift that and make things a little bit better.
So many people do not take into account of how much, an impact,
the music and the content we don't indulge in, has on our
thoughts, our mood and our ways of being So I always say, you
know, if I'm in a space to where I want to track something in,
what does my environment? Not just look like but what does
it sound like and what does it feel like?
thinking back to the quote or the fortune that I read, and
We're talking about accomplishing, great things, and
manifesting great things. We must not only act, but also
dream. Not only plan but also believe
the action part is really important and when it comes to
manifestation it's so much more deeper than just praying and
putting that prayer out in the universe.
Like, how were you actively working toward that?
And The work really begins with you.
How you feel, where your mindset is, how you treat yourself, how
that treatment of yourself trickles down into the way that
you treat others, you know? And then that work later
trickles into your environment, your relationships, and it also
reframes a restructure or for a lot of people build core values
and beliefs in my intention. Living course, one of the
modules focuses on identifying your core values.
So let's lean into why core values are important.
Just really briefly when we deeply connect to the things
that matter to us. Most we feel a sense of purpose
and that sense of purpose enables us to create patterns of
consistency. see when you live a life, rooted in certain values,
or a certain value, and personal beliefs, It enables you to live
a meaningful and purposeful life.
So back at the top of the episode, I mentioned, what is
your anchor? For me, that anchor is love.
Truly every value, every core belief that I stand on and stand
upon somehow links back to that anchor, which is love having a
core value or multiple core values is a critical component
to manifesting your desired life and your desired outcomes.
What does identifying your core values look like or rather, how
do you use your core values to reimagine or manifest, your
ideal life when you're thinking about?
Core values. And What the main things in life
you want to either identify with or be known as that's what you
want to start with. So maybe you know you're one of
those people who want to be known for your kindness, giving
back to others, your you want. To be known for being loving and
kind and accountable. writing down, or making a list of values
that you want to stand on, will really help you hone in on
having a set list of maybe five to ten values that you want to
live by and when you have this listing your mind, it's so much
more easier to live a life rooted in your values and your
belief. So If you're going to create a
list here, are some questions to ask yourself.
When you're thinking about core values, try to focus on what you
want to prioritize in life and what you want to spend time on,
like I said, what do you want to be known for?
What do you want to feel every day?
And how do you want your actions to make other people feel?
What do you want to invest in financially?
What Thrills you? What makes you excited?
What inspires you to do more? What thing or set of things?
Make you feel most at home with yourself?
these are all the questions that you want to think about when
you're focusing on identifying, what your core values are When
we're thinking about manifestation, there's so many
different ways to manifest or call things into our life.
Manifestation is such a powerful act and it's absolutely going to
be different for all of us. One of my favorite things to do
is visualize the life that I want.
Visualizing the life that I want.
Has been one of the easiest way for ways for me to not just stay
in a positive mind but also real and the things that I want when
you focus heavy on visit visualizing where you see
yourself visualizing the life that you want or the things that
you want, it helps you to not focus on any - all you see is Is
the beautiful outcome that lies ahead.
When you feel yourself thinking negatively, or you feel yourself
doubting your power, to calling in your desires into your life.
Like try finding a quiet spot where you can meditate on your
desires. And I typically try to do this
two to three times a day. And in this space you just want
to sit and visualize your manifestations you want maybe
even want a journal or listening to music but you want to
visualize these things visualize yourself in this space and your
reality as if you're living, then in that very moment.
Visualizing your ideal life requires you to not think of
your desired self. Or your desired life in a future
sense. It's all about envisioning and
living. As that version of yourself in
the now. And so it's also about changing
the way you speak. Don't don't say, this is what
I'm going to have. You're not going to move into
your dream home. You are actualizing your dream
home. You're not going to find your
dream job or you haven't applied to your dream job.
You are waiting on the call back for your dream job.
It's all about shifting, your language, she Shifting, the way
that you speak about things for example, One day, I just woke up
and I decided that I have been living in the same city for too
long and I wanted to explore living in my favorite city which
is Berkeley. California, fun fact.
Remember on episode 1, when I shared that, I was a bit of an
Eclectic child growing up. Well, that part of me is how I
earned the nickname Berkeley from my family.
The people in the city of Berkeley have notoriously been
labeled. As these free-spirited flower
children who just live in their own world or their own reality
and my favorite With always say to me, you belong in Berkeley.
And it is how I got my nickname and I was about eight years old,
when everyone started calling me that and it just stuck with me.
And to this day, you can be around my aunts or some of my
cousins and you will hear them. Call me Berkeley thinking just
about that time, like I would eventually like groats.
To fall in love with the city of Berkeley and after school or on
the weekends, like I would love to just go and experience The
Vibes so fast for one night, I'm sitting in bed and I was like,
boom, I'm about to move to Berkeley.
I didn't know how it would happen, just because the cost of
living in California was crazy. And just imagine all of my
desires and everything that I wanted in a place and moving
smack-dab Major city. Yeah it was I didn't know how I
was going to happen but it will happen.
Anyways, one of the things that I started to do to help me
visualize this space is I started shopping apartment
shopping in different cities. I would just drive to different
cities on the weekend. Go all over the Bay Area and
look at different apartments. See the different amenities that
the place is offered. Knowing off top like what I
wanted and what I didn't want and that helped me determine
like what I wanted my ideal space to look like.
I knew that from apartment shopping that I wanted to live
on the highest floor and whatever building that I was
living in because I didn't want anybody under me or I didn't
want to be living under anyone. I knew that it was necessary for
me to have a nice view Hardwood flooring, a really big bathroom
bathroom and a nice walk-in closet.
It was also really important for me to live in a neighborhood
that was in walking distance from a Starbucks, or Peet's
Coffee. It was just something about it,
like sex in a city Vibes, walk into your favorite coffee spot
every day. And then I really started to
hone in on what I wanted my space.
To feel like I knew, I wanted to walk through the door and feel a
sense of calm. I wanted my home to feel like a
peaceful voices and I would spend all this time visualizing
my new place. And eventually I got everything
that I wanted in my place and a little bit more smack-dab in the
city that I said. I wanted with the views that I
wanted the amenities. I want it and one of the the
other things that also helped me draw this in or track.
This was having an interior design background.
And one day I was sitting down and I designed a rendering of
how I wanted to furnish and style my new place.
And about a year, after I moved in to that apartment, I had came
across that rendering and all I could do is smile because I had
set the tone I put it out there, but I also continue to live in
this mindset that I won that. I knew that it would happened.
To that I continue to do the work to draw in what I wanted
and that unwavering faith and that ability to be consistent is
what helped me attract my ideal environment. think about what
you want to manifest into your life and put yourself in that
environment, visually Maybe it's you wanting to manifest a dream
job or your dream home in the process of manifestation.
You have to be very specific that saying.
Be careful what you ask for is sodium true.
When it comes to actualizing your ideal life.
So being specific, what do you want your home to be located?
Do you want to live in a big city or a small town?
Are there specific businesses? Such as a Starbucks or Peet's
Coffee that you wanted to be in close proximity to?
What does the vibe of your home? Feel like how does sleeping and
relaxing in this home make you feel You can get even more
intentional with your manifestations by drawing things
out, or creating visual mood boards, or mood boards on with
magazines. Whatever helps you visualize
this new reality and see it up close and personal.
Do that. Manifestation is absolutely my
favorite topic to discuss. I could talk about it all day
literally because I know the power of manifestation and I
absolutely wholeheartedly trust in my ability to curate and
manifest the life that I want. I've been able to reimagine my
life 20 times over. I've been many different
versions of myself and every time that I focus on a
particular outcome and a particular way of feeling and
being I've been able to live that and it is my goal to always
pour into others. So that they understand their
ability to reimagine their life and manifest the life that they
desire. I want to remind you all that.
No matter where you are, what your current circumstances are.
You all have the power to live an abundant life.
Every single one of us deserves to be happy, everyone of every
single one of us deserves to have a free mind and a free
body. Free will to do whatever it is
that we please to reimagine our lives over and over and over
again, until we are absolutely satisfied and fulfilled.
An abundant life is not just what you own, what you possess.
The titles that you carry. An abundant life is just simply
fulfillment. If you wake up everyday and you
feel good, you're happy. Your needs are met.
That is an abundant life that level of fulfillment brings.
A certain level of contentment and peace within that.
No amount of money or material possessions can provide.
So before you develop a habit of manifesting the bottom tier
Which are the material things. I want you to practice
reimagining your life so that your mind is free.
Reimagining your life. So that every day, every moment,
every little mundane task everything.
Feels enjoyable. You get a sense of satisfaction
from the little things. that saying romanticize your life is
probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard
and something that I truly stand for and live by It's your
ability to see the joy in the simple things.
That create a sense of happiness, and fulfillment.
It's appreciating every single moment, despite your
circumstances. That set you on the path to
reimagining your life and manifesting the life that you
desire. I also want you all to.
We talk about our minds being free practice every day.
Noticing your thought patterns noticing the things that you
believe in. Reshaping your mind is probably
one of the hardest things that you will ever do in life.
The shit is hard for your thoughts.
The things that you believe in that is the foundation of your
reality. Your thoughts and the things
that you believe in. They are what you're
manifesting. subconsciously, or consciously Your conscious
thoughts and the things that you are aware of.
Should all be positive. Even if it feels like, hey it
may work out. It may not work out.
Try to live in a space of It's going to deliver for me.
It's going to work out for me. It's important to program
reprogram. How you see life?
How you view life? One of the most profound things
that I've heard recently was something to the effect that
we're all living on different timelines.
And if you really pay attention to everybody and everything
that's going on around you, that is absolutely true.
You may wake up in a good mood, but then you may encounter
someone that is having a shitty month.
And they're like, one thing away from their Breaking Point.
So it's important to just pay attention to the things that you
believe, pay attention to the thoughts that you focus on and
the decisions that you make, because the reality that you
create in your mind, is what you live.
We're all living in a different timeline or a different reality
based on what we believe in every day.
So if you wake up feeling like I'm living, I'm fulfilled.
It feels good. Then that's what reality is
going to be. If it's the opposite of that and
that's just what it's going to be.
You have to make sure your reproach reprogramming, your
mind and your thoughts so that they're in alignment.
With the things or the life that you want to manifest.
Just, you just have to have this Limitless, belief in what you're
capable of. And you have to just not only
have that limiting Limitless belief. but in body the person
that you are in this new life that you're imagining, Show up
as this person that you want to be.
Be open. Your inability to receive and
accept newness. Will definitely create
resistance. Be open to change.
Be open to newness. Be open to a fresh start.
