The power of Manifesting is something I have learned by myself through meditation practice and now I teach this process to others through Emotional Release Yoga. I use this tool all the time. There is always something I want to manifest either for myself or those close to me.
Earlier this year, I was asking for a mentor. I was thinking about someone who would guide me with my Emotional Release Yoga. I reached out to a few people, who I thought could help me look in the right direction - and they all told me the same thing. You can do it by yourself, Madina. You have got this. Are you doing it already.
But I persisted in my meditation asking for guidance and guides. And they started coming to me. One by one, people offered incredible coaching sessions, help with my social media strategy and improving my Instagram account.
As I worked with them answering the many questionnaires and dreaming big, a few times when I was lost for words - they suggested “transformation” as the word I was searching for.
Transformation... It honestly never resonated with me. Not now and not in the past when it has not yet become a buzz word. Transforming means taking something bad / spoiled and turning it into something good / fixing it. And that’s not my belief around the world and all beings inhabiting it.
As my Buddhist teacher, Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche used to say “we are since the beginning perfect”.
Exactly this. Always were. Always will be. Perfect.
As babies, we are perfect and pure. We are plugged into the source and our hard disks for storing knowledge, information, experiences, beliefs, and patterns are brand new and empty.
But as we grow, we begin uploading & saving information from many sources. Ancestral, tribal, interpersonal, personal, spiritual. We save data about truth and purpose, about traumas and the best strategies of dealing with them. We solidify believes around who we are, where we belong or not, about success and failure, about wealth and work, about fun and joy, about our abilities to do whatever.
These many layers of information cover our perfect and pure core to the point that we start to forget who we truly are. Since the beginning pure and perfect. What I teach and believe in - is the process of uncovering this truth, the peeling of many layers that were created.
According to Rinpoche, this can be done with a snap of fingers, instantly. For me, it does not work like that in many cases and I need more time than just one second. But even though this process is slow, it is still not a transformation. It is returning back home. To that innate goodness, I was blessed with when I got this precious life. Thanks, mom and dad for that.
