The Power of Manifestation

In the past few years, the concept of manifestation has been a hot topic in mainstream media. You've probably heard people on social media talking about how they manifested to get to where they are today.

Manifestation is actually the core of CONQUERing. Tammy Nelson, CEO and founder of CONQUERing said, "[manifestation] is actually the main reason I started CONQUERing—to encourage people to pause for just a few moments at the beginning of their day when selecting their elements for the day...what would help them most 'conquer their day'". 

Since this practice is so integral to our brand, we figured it's time to write a post about what manifesting is, how to manifest, and how you can incorporate CONQUERing into your manifestation practices. 

What is Manifestation?

According to Vox, manifestation is the practice of thinking aspirational thoughts with the purpose of making them real. To manifest is to make your dreams a reality. 

The practice itself is centuries old. However, it has evolved and become popular in the mainstream in the last few decades. It became particularly popular in 2020—many people on TikTok were sharing their manifestation practices, and tips, while in quarantine from the COVID-19 pandemic. 

At its core, manifesting is rooted in two types of thought: 

• The first type is the belief that our thoughts can affect the external world
• The second type is the law of attraction. The belief that our thoughts determine what we attract, whether that be good or bad things

While thoughts and dreams are an integral part of manifestation, they aren't the only think you should be focusing on when beginning your journey with the practice. Angelina Lombardo, the author of Spiritual Entrepreneur, says it best, "manifesting is making everything you want to feel and experience a reality...via your thoughts, actions, beliefs, and emotions". 

One's actions are just as important as thoughts in the practice of manifestation. 

How Do You Manifest?

There are many different practices you can try when manifesting. What we are going to suggest below is just one way that you can manifest! You can always conduct additional research if you want to try something new. 

The below practice was inspired by this Oprah Daily article. We took what was recommended and condensed it into five steps: 

• Step One: Know exactly what you want. You want to start by figuring out what exactly you want to gain from manifestation. You'll want to be clear, concise, and detailed with what you want. For example, if you're manifesting a promotion at work, you'll want to be clear about what you'll be promoted to, what additional benefits you'll receive from being promoted, and a general timeline for when you want the promotion to occur. 
• Step Two: Ask the universe for what you want. Manifestation is a collaboration between you and the universe. Once you know what you want, you'll want to make sure the universe is aware of it. There are a few ways you can ask the universe for what you want: you can pray, meditate, create a vision board, or write down what you want multiple times a day. There's no wrong way to do this, pick what feels natural to you!
• Step Three: Start working towards what you want. As I mentioned in step two, manifestation is a collaboration between you and the universe. While the universe is doing its part, you need to do yours. Think about what actions you need to be taking in your daily life to reach your goal. In the promotion example, ask yourself, "What can I be doing at work to make it clear I'm ready for a promotion?". 
• Step Four: Express gratitude. Throughout the process, you'll want to make sure you show gratitude for everything you receive. You might not get everything you asked for or it might not happen in the timeline you envisioned. Regardless, it's important to take time out of each and every day to think about what you've accomplished and to express how grateful you are for it. 
• Step Five: Let go. If you don't let yourself believe in the power of manifestation, you're going to limit what you could potentially receive from your practice. Beyond that, if you don't believe in yourself, you'll never accomplish the goals you set. Try to eliminate any negative self-talk when you are manifesting. Believe in your abilities and see what you're fully capable of. 

Again, that is just one way that you can practice manifestation! It's important to remember that you aren't going to see results overnight. Manifestation takes time and effort. You need to recognize that patience will be key to fully receive everything you asked of the universe. 

CONQUERing and Manifestation

Now, where do we fit in with all of this? As I mentioned in the introduction, the concept of manifestation is key to the CONQUERing brand. 

All of our designs have an element of empowerment to them. We have classic designs that have symbols and phrases that likely align with your manifestation goals. For example, we have an element that says YOU GOT THIS, which could be the mantra for your practice. You can choose to wear that element everyday, remembering that you are capable of achieving your goals. 

We also have an extensive offering of crystal elements. Crystals can be a tool you use in your manifestation practices. Crystals are believed to influence the energy that we put out into the world. Manifestation also relies on energy—you could use crystals that align with your goal to help with the process of receiving exactly what you want. We have a post that discusses crystal healing and manifestation in further detail, you can check it out here!

Beyond our products, the mission of CONQUERing is to empower our community. We want everyone that wears our products and supports our brand to recognize that they are capable of accomplishing everything they've put their mind to. From inspirational messaging to the functionality of our fidget jewelry—CONQUERing can help you achieve your dreams.

Now that you know more about manifestation and have a way of practicing it, it's time to begin your journey! 

Remember, manifesting is all about patience and your mindset. You have to put in the work to receive exactly what you want from the universe.
