3 Ways the Perseid Meteor Shower Can Help You Manifest…
When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams just might come true.
Wishing on a star sounds like something from our childhood songs, but what if it was actually a real thing?
Turns out… it is.
Manifestation has been getting a lot more press lately, which is exciting! But did you know you can even use shooting stars and/or stargazing to enhance your manifestation? (whoa what) Exciting news, especially with the Perseid Shower happening right now, and peaking on August 11th.
Before we dive into how to manifest on a star (or a meteor), let’s take a closer look at what manifestation is.
Manifestation is the art form of consciously creating your reality.
Or, as I more commonly call it ‘conscious manifestation’ since everything in our existence can come back to manifestation. In short… what we believe, think, and feel: we will receive and experience in our lives.
A fun way you might practice this is with small daily intentions. Instead of living life by default (aka going through the motions without giving much thought to how you want things to go). You could begin to get clear on how you want each section of your day to go. For example; when you wake up, set an intention to feel good, to connect with your partner in a loving way, to be present and kind to your children. Setting the intention to get out the door on time if you usually run late, or setting the intention that you will enjoy your morning commute if it usually leaves you frustrated. Abraham Hicks calls this Segment Intending and it works like a charm, not only to feel good but to begin attracting in what you want to have or experience in your life. Begin with large sections of your day: how do you want them to feel and turn out? Build on from there.
Now for stars?
There is a reason for the saying when the stars align. It originally meant “when something favorable happened easily, which would have normally been difficult or impossible”. Since I love teaching how to simplify and make manifestation effortless, this line speaks to me. Possibly why I’m excited to share with you 3 ways stargazing can boost your manifestation power.
First - The One With The Feelings
When you see a shooting star, you may feel a surge of excitement! It can feel like a rare and exciting thing to see a shooting star, like a little glimmer into the magic of the Universe.
If you do feel this excitement, then you’re in luck. Here’s how to use it for manifestation:
Focus on the feeling of excitement you feel. We manifest from our emotions. In simple terms, when we feel a rush of emotion (emotion = energy in motion) we can use the energy that is building from the emotion to be like a rocket to carry you towards what you’re manifesting. At least, this is how it seems…
In more literal terms: the surge of excited emotion raises your vibration to be more of a match to what you are manifesting.
Because what you are wanting to manifest (the new love relationship, more money, the beautiful house with the mountain view, the new baby!!) all will give you the same feeling of excitement when you get them. Does this seem true?
So anytime we are already feeling excited, shooting star or otherwise, we can use this to refocus our intention to feel grateful and excited for what’s to come.
For what you are manifesting. Here’s the breakdown of it:
“the surge of excited emotion raises your vibration to be more of a match to what you are manifesting.”
See the shooting star, feel the excitement!
Take that excitement and while you are present with this feeling. Think about your manifestation, maybe that new love relationship you are calling in (or new way of being with your current partner!) and think “I am so grateful for _____, I am so grateful and looking forward to _____.”
Once you’ve said this to yourself a few times, your energy will likely shift to one of joy and love (our natural emotions when we remove stress).
From here you are in the home stretch! That feeling of joy and love are your signs you are aligned with your Highest Good. Meaning not only are the stars aligned.. but now you are too. Now you just relax in the joy and know that it is set in motion.
The Second - The One With The Quiet
I know I talk a lot about meditation. And while YES, it is one of the greatest ways to remove stress, heal from anxiety and depression, improve sleep and so on… The reason it works so well, and what you can also get by looking at the stars, is this:
It’s about the quiet space we allow ourselves. I love the method of Meditation I teach (obviously). But It’s not about me, I’ve seen countless people who thought they’d never be able to feel a quiet mind… easily achieve a calm and quiet mind. When we get to that quiet space, it re-aligns our energy, again aligning it to be of a higher and more peaceful, joyful, loving vibration.
The vibration of all that you are manifesting.
Here’s a beautiful and quick shortcut to that vibration and alignment. Look up at the night sky. Drive out of the city if you can, get somewhere quiet and just pause to look up for at least 10 minutes. The longer you look, the more in awe you may become. This awe inspiring scene is likely to hold your focus, and… quiet your mind.
Then: we are right back to method #1 above (feeling excitement and joy) and from here you are further in alignment, and further matched up with your Highest Good and all that you are wanting to attract.
A big part of manifestation really comes down to: can we clear the clutter* from our mind (*getting rid of excess thoughts that distract and pull you from what you’re wanting to manifest).
and…
Can we feel good. When we feel good, we attract more of what feels good.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never heard anyone return from watching the stars complaining that it made them feel terrible.
The Third - The Peaceful Path
One of the greatest factors to simplifying manifestation is this: get present.
There is possibly no better way to do this in a peaceful and loving way than when you’re looking up at the stars. For many, looking at the stars brings us into connection with something larger than we are. Whether that is the Universe, God, or whatever speaks to you, it lets you feel connected. It calms your nervous system and lets you feel peace.
Another way to put this? It brings you back into alignment. Again, you and the stars become aligned. Being in alignment just means being present and connected to yourself. It can also be being connected to yourself and to something larger than you. It means being in the flow.
It is when things work out, coincidences happen, and everything seems to be happening in your favor. It’s when your manifestations flow in effortlessly.
The reason this works? When we are present and feeling more at peace, we drop resistance. We stop pushing back against the difficult things life brings us, and even if just for a moment, we feel whole again. It gives us an opportunity to reset our energy. To come back to ourselves, and to what we love.
Get present to the moment, then wish on that shooting star. It works.
