How to RELEASE RESISTANCE around "WHERE IS IT?" when Manifesting - Understanding Expectation

[@christian8307]

I like to add "Now what?" After I have a feeling of expectation. Ex: "She already likes me, Now what?" And that helps me shift my focus to other things rather than my desire

[@illuminatingjoy]

I love that!! Thanks for sharing. 💕

[@thegreekstatue4503]

True! I used to think we had to visualize or script once in a while to keep the motion going but now I understand that if at least once we focus clearly on our desire and it feels good, the ball has been set in motion.

[@aprilbongado3224]

Literally crying my heart out right now. I've been very frustrated for four months now trying to manifest this one thing that I could never get to actualize. I've been convincing myself every single day that "it is here" but I know it's not and and that disappoints and frustrates me every single time. I've always been very visual and feeling has never been a problem for me as I'm a very emotional person as well but these last couple of months have been tough. I already came to a point where every time I would try to affirm that my expectations are already here, I would just suddenly cry-- because I know they're not. For the the first time after a long time, I said the words "I hope my prayers finally manifest," I just started crying. I feel like a very heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders and that there was this sudden woosh of comfort. And as I'm typing this, I realized that I'm just so tired of thinking that I am my own creator that gets me the things I pray for. I prayed with the words "I hope my prayers finally manifest" and it felt like telling a Creator far bigger and greater than I am "Hey, I want this and I know you're gonna give me this like you always do because you love me." Wow. I feel so light right now it's crazy. Thank you. I saw a comment here saying we should make a holiday to honor you and I'm with him on this one. Thank you and I hope you're having an amazing day.

[@aprilbongado3224]

"I hope this happens" has been making me feel very excited for the past 5 minutes. GAAAAAH

[@Mbeepyd]

Did you see your manifestation since this comment? 😊

[@aprilbongado3224]

@@Mbeepyd I would say yes. :) But I still went through such a difficult time after writing this comment. Letting go and not caring was such a huge part in my “success” which was hard because what I was manifesting during this time was money. And every time I was faced with bills and people were depending on me, I couldn’t help but waver and get disappointed. But yeah. I’m in a much better financial situation now, I can say. :) Keep going and let go. I know a lot of believers wanna say that you are God but if that feels like too much of a responsibility for you, let God. Know that someone out there is looking out for you and they are always in your favor. You just have to believe and rest in that knowledge.

[@iBelieve1970]

You are 100% the best teacher there is. Whenever I get all excited and expect my desire to happen, it never would. Let go of that expectation and boom it happens!!! I do feel like most coaches say, believe it and expect it, and that never worked for me and I would get so frustrated and doubt myself. You were the one to validate everything for me and to know I am doing it right!! Thank you Amy 😀

[@illuminatingjoy]

Me too!!! I truly know it works both ways and usually, people are acclimated to one way more than the other. You and I are in the same boat. 💕

[@userbunny14]

This just changed the game for me. Ive been having issues releasing. So I just used 'I hope this happens' instead of 'why isnt it happening' and suddenly I felt all giddy and light headed and excited, but also relaxed, which I havent had since just before I manifested a big thing the first time. Im so happy.

[@Mahrimae]

Expectation and synchronicities and signs all seem to mean that it’s in my subconscious and I’ve achieved Belief so I can start working on Releasing resistance and getting into Detachment. And then go back and forth between those like she says. So grateful to you Amy!

[@ludag7798]

When you made us say the "hope" part to compare, my heart felt really happy and I couldn't help but smile. ❤

[@SunnyOst]

What really helped me with resistance is Abraham's advice on thinking "I like this and that" instead of "I have/want/etc this and that". Even "I like having..." is much less resistance than "I have...". Some also say that setting the time limit on desire helps, but forgetting time worked much better for me. You are on the path of creating it, so you will. Btw, "back and forth between accepting where you're at and focusing on what you want" is exactly what's going on for me at the moment and the results are stunning. Appreciate what you have(or have experience of), plan for even more.

[@preethidsouza1]

Hope didn’t pan well for me at all. I feel more stressed with the word hope. It brings in an element of uncertainty. I am more comfortable with I know it will happen and there is no going back. Welcome back Amy! You are one of my favs!

[@rosannejeanette6583]

I don’t feel very relieved when I say hope, but I do like to say I believe that it can happen and I feel like it will happen or I think that it will happen. It’s still not 100% security but it feels better for me!

I always viewed the idea of expectation as totally ridiculous and impossible for the mind to believe in. What kind of person is so convinced they will get something really great to the point they are 100 % in expectation.

AMY, oh my gosh! I have been binging your videos and now here you are! You are the one who has helped me the most with manifestation. Nearly every other LOA guru does not allow you to think about negative thoughts and almost shames you into feeling those thoughts. We should be honest with our fears, doubts, and negativity, because we're human ,and slowly work on accepting your feelings and working your way from there..

[@newyorker4113]

An analogy just popped into my mind and it is helpful to me, maybe it will help others too. I’m going to start to flirt with my desires at a distance. Have you ever had a crush, maybe you were in school at the time - and you know they like you too? You can feel it in the way they smile at you, the way they talk, it’s a little softer than the way you’ve seen them talk to other people. You like them, they like you, neither of you need to say anything or are going to say anything. You feel like at some point, you will end up hooking up with this person but, not yet. No, right now, you just flirt. Sometimes shamelessly. You’re letting things unfold in their own time, but there’s a twinkle and a wink to it. You know you’ll be ok if you don’t hook up with this person, it isn’t that serious, but you’re going to and in the meantime, the dance is fun. I am going to start doing this with a Le creuset 5.5 qt Dutch oven I plan to bake all the bread in. During the day I’m just like I see you baby, you sexy little cast iron Dutch oven butt with your metal top and ability to withstand 500 degrees, mmmm. YES. That’s hot, baby! You don’t need to get your little ass over here yet I gotchu- all in good time sweet cheeks - I gotchu.

[@jenniferluiza8583]

You know what’s funny? I did the “I expect this to happen X I hope this will happen” and I feel the exact same thing which is tense. But then thinking about it I guess it’s because my mother tongue is Portuguese and even though we have a word for expectation (expectativa) and hope (esperança) when we conjugate them as a verb they become the same word so “I hope” and “I expect” are both “eu espero”. This quickly became me realizing how beautifully our languages shape how we feel differently about things 💕 (I’ll see if I find a way to make the word change in Portuguese hahaha)

Example story using this although this video confirmed my experience; so I’m really good at manifesting my days at work, create mtgs, cancel meetings, cancel workshops, people leaving, people coming, etc… so last week I had a workshop I really didn’t want to do just cause I’m burnt out; I did my thing of visualizing it cancelled, let it go cause no biggie if I have to do it; day before I know I said to myself I really hope this gets cancelled cause I’m exhausted, let it go - 1 hour later guess what?? Cancelled. I got rest. ❤️

[@misslightfm]

I think that maybe a better way to look at it is to let go of the attachment. It’s always so much easier to manifest something that you can “take it or leave it”. If you feel you “need” something, that’s automatically creates the is attachment and if you don’t let go of that feeling of need it doesn’t matter wether you say you hope or expect something because that feeling of “need” keeps you bound. Trust me I have been going through the absolute sludge the last 6 months and it doesn’t help that there is SO MUCH disinformation out there when it comes to manifesting. At the end of the day, manifesting is just doing your spiritual evolution which is letting go of attachments and realising your true whole nature. This is what I have come to 🙏 thank you to the poster for helping me get over the line you just have me that last missing piece of the puzzle for me to make sense of it. Love and gratitude 💛✨🙏

I think for me it's like I know it will happen (because I've seen other manifestations happen) but whenever I see something horrible in my 3D reality my mind immediately goes 'but when' which is major resistance, that makes me go back from living in the end to spiral mode. So this video helped me shift to "I expect it to happen" (calm) "I hope it happens soon" (instant relief). Thank you Amy ❤️.

I already think that when people don't say "I hope" while they actually do really hope, create resistance because they are denying what they are actually feeling (which is hope of course). By actually admitting that you hope something happens you release resistance because you are aligned more with who you are.

[@user-rc1my2xc3s]

When I think of hope I associate that with some degree of powerlessness to external feedback. Trust and surrender feels like a better word for me. If you trust something is going to happen you don't need it to show up now because you know it's inevitable sooner or later ✨
