Manifest a Desire by Knowing the Essence of What You Want

Did you ever manifest a desire only to find that it wasn't what you really wanted or that the happiness that this item or situation brought you was only temporary?

Maybe you achieved a specific goal only to find that you did not experience the fulfillment that you thought you would once this goal was reached?

The dissatisfaction may come from not having a deeper understanding of what you think your desired item or goal will bring you. One way to ensure that you are truly satisfied when you manifest a desire or reach a goal is to focus on identifying and manifesting the essence of what it is that you really want.

Defining Essence

What does it mean to manifest the essence of a goal or desire?

The essence is what you think your desired item or goal will bring you. For instance, In Creating Money, Sanaya Roman & Duane Packer explain that "The essence of something is the function you want this item to perform, the purposes you will use it for, or what you think it will give you."

Essence can also be a feeling or higher quality that you think your goals or desires will help you to express or experience more of in your life.

Some examples are: peace, love, joy, creativity, laughter, enthusiasm, prosperity, freedom, passion, courage, optimism, happiness, abundance, bliss, enthusiasm, well being, etc.

Higher qualities and feelings satisfy our deeper, inner most needs and desires. They enhance our life in a way that brings a strong inner sense of fulfillment and lasting happiness.

How to Identify the Essences of Your Goals and Desires

In order to achieve a goal or manifest a desire, you first need to decide what your initial goal or desire is. Then you can ask yourself some simple questions to determine what the essences are that you are want to experience as a result of reaching your goals and desires.

For instance, let's say you want a bigger house. Ask yourself why do you want a bigger house? What do you think having a bigger house will give you that you don't have now? Large two story red brick house with a big yard. What are the features that you want in a new house and why do you want them?

What is the higher quality or feeling that having a bigger house will give you?

To experience the deepest level of fulfillment, I suggest that you look beyond the desires of your ego or personality here (i.e. image of success, power, prestige, etc) to get to a deeper level of truth that satisfies your inner most desires. For instance, perhaps living in a bigger house would give you a greater sense of freedom, security or serenity.

This goal setting exercise will help you to identify the essences that you are seeking from your goals and desires.

Manifesting Form Verses Manifesting Essence

When we manifest a desire with a particular form in mind, we are focusing on a specific outcome whether it be manifesting a red corvette convertible, a two story red brick mansion, a specific career, a sum of money, moving to a particular city, etc.

It can take a longer period of time to manifest a specific item or situation. However, we can manifest peace, love, happiness or any other essence that we want, right now before we even have the specific item or situation that we are requesting.

Also, when we just focus on manifesting form (i.e. a specific item or situation), we may get that form but find that it doesn't serve our true needs and desires. This is why it is beneficial to identify and manifest the essences that you want as well.

While it's not recommended to focus only on form, it is fine to manifest the essences that you desire, without having a specific form in mind.

In fact, when we manifest a desire by focusing on the essences that we want (without attachment to a specific form), we are opening the door of infinite possibilities of the ways in which these essences can manifest in our lives.
