The journey started 12 years ago while living in Bogota, Colombia, and knowing deep inside I needed to do something to break the patterns of suffering and survival mode I was living in. Most of us start this journey of spiritual self-development as a response to having enough of the struggle. We desire to create better conditions for the reality we face and we want better jobs, more money, better relationships, and basically making our dreams and goals come true.
My journey started as a result of looking for answers to the meaning of life and improving the conditions of my reality. I was tired of the same struggles over and over again. The same poor and unhealthy relationships, working meaningless jobs to pay the bills, never having enough, living in constant hardship to get things done, and experiencing a lack of spark in my spirit to get out of bed every day.
In the middle of that research, I found teachers, guides, and tools to support the journey of transforming my life. I discovered manifestation (one of the seven laws of the universe), which dictates how everything is created from the frequency we hold on a mental and emotional level. Understanding this law was crucial to change my perception of life and how our relationships, opportunities, conditions, and synchronicities are magnetized to us (to learn more about the law of attraction I recommend you this book). This indeed was the first step on the route.
For years, I dedicate myself to learning about manifestation. I consumed every book, workshop, online class, and any video I came across to master this law and apply it effortlessly to create the life I desired. It worked a couple of times. The tips and techniques that I used, today are taught by many coaches in the industry and they were a real treat for a fast and temporary fix.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these techniques are wrong or bad. But in my personal experience with years of digging and working towards my spiritual growth and the transformation of my life design, I can tell you that learning about this law and following suggestible tools are just the tip of the iceberg.
These tools and techniques, which today are trends in the industry of coaching and self-development, actually work. But the issue arises; after you realize that just doing rituals, vibrating high, and thinking positively isnt going to transform your life in the long run.
THIS IS WHY:
You may be able to manifest your goals and desires, but we are beings with baggage on mental, emotional, energetical, and a physical level. And if this baggage isn´t in alignment with the new goal and desire you have created from your vision board, I can assure you will sabotage yourself.
I had many attempts and many successful desires that came true in previous years. When I was obsessed with the idea of being the creator of my life, I used manifestation techniques as my way of doing it. The problem was the sabotage that followed after, or how deep down I was struggling with the same issues rooted inside me:
Lack of self-love: not feeling enough, poor confidence, and not accepting myself at all
Root chakra unbalance: money wounds and survival mode
Ancestral lineage ties: victim programming and inferiority complex
Even though I was able to manifest physical change in the outside world, my inner world was still deeply rooted in the past wounded and old programming that needed healing. So the change was temporary and then I´d end up back with the same struggles.
For example:
I manifested many new connections but most of them were still unhealthy and toxic, based on trauma bonds or I also sabotaged them as a response to my lack of self-worth
Money was manifested easily but still running out of my hands in a blink of an eye. I wasn't able to have a healthy relationship with money or have a stable flow of abundance
Even though I was traveling the world and manifesting opportunities to do so, I was always under the fear of being seen, comparing myself with others, and feeling less because of my nationality
It didn't matter how much I was capable of making change, it didn't last in the long run.
It was when I understood that I needed to heal the root and focus on the inner work more than on following trends, rituals, and techniques, that my life really started to have a major upgrade and I quantum jumped. For real!
I decided to stop trying so hard with the manifestation stuff and really focus on the deep work. Months of healing and integration followed, where I went to the root of the problem. I treated each body or aspect we hold: mind, emotions, energy, the physical body, and I then integrated this into my daily lifestyle (routines, habits, patterns) in order to really wipe out the struggle (to learn more about this process download my free guide).
Then this work started to give results. And without effort, my life changed and my desires and goals started to come true:
I went from poor, hard, and toxic relationships to a committed one where communication, love, and freedom are the base: a sacred union where I´m loved unconditionally for who I am
Money stopped being a struggle and became a constant flow of abundance; today I enjoy a life where luxury, comfort, and generosity are the main rule. I don't count my pennies or feel ashamed of my bank account and money is constantly there to support my lifestyle, and dreams which I happily share with others
My relationship with my roots and my ancestral lineage went from constant resistance, conflict, fear, confusion, and feeling stuck and less than others, to acceptance, gratitude, embracement, and empowerment to build my own story. I don't run away from where I come from. I´m grateful for it, whilst I stand up for my own truth, even though it's different from my ancestral clan
Yes, manifestation is a universal law, working constantly like gravity. But I do believe, and I'm an example of it, that transforming our lives isn´t given because you learn how to manipulate the energy like a genie in the lamp, but more because from inside -out, we become the frequency that is in alignment with the life design we long for. We embody this frequency in every aspect (mentally, emotionally, physically, energetically) without effort.
In my experience, this process is done when you heal and integrate deep down. When you cut the roots and stop putting bandages over your wounds. Then you become what you desire to be. And by default, you magnetize everything that is in alignment with it: everything you have been longing for!
