It’s not an “overnight success,” but takes time. “It's the ‘going for them’ that matters most.” She says to keep in mind that manifesting is a journey, not just a destination of a desired outcome. “Know that you are worthy of your dreams, and dare to go for them,” says Colpa. When the universe gives you lemons, we need to make magic with them, she explains. “But what you can do is take your power to manifest, and use it as an opportunity to find a person, or ideas, that are more in alignment - and manifest growth and positive change.” “You did not manifest that person's attitude - that was simply something that happened,” she tells TZR in an email. For example, you can manifest building a beautiful new home, yet you somehow end up working with a controlling interior designer with a great resume. Liza Colpa, meditation and yoga teacher, says the universe can be a chaotic place, with beauty also being a part of this chaos. I’ve manifested everything from jobs to relationships to you-name-it (more on this later). I have tried a wide range of things (I live in LA, after all!) - and have found a handful of manifestation methods that actually work for me. While some people swear by the 369 Manifestation Method, others recite affirmations. When it comes to manifesting, there is no one-size-fits-all methodology.
