Kyra Yang, Manifestation Mindset Mentor, gives us step 1 to manifesting the reality we desire in today’s interview.
KYRA: I love to marry manifestation and hypnotherapy because there are so many schools of thought with manifestation. And some of them are just conscious creation, which works, and some of them just focus on the subconscious. But I think marrying them both is so critical for a really good quality of life. You know? You really do create the best results when you are creating from a place of being whole.
So my process of manifestation is “your thoughts create your reality.” A really simple example is if you close your eyes and imagine your dream kitchen. When you imagine that dream kitchen, you’re going to see on the island a beautiful bowl of yellow lemons. Walk up to that bowl and pick up a lemon. You might notice texture. A weight. Is it hard or soft? Look at the brightness of that color of the lemon. And safely you notice there is a cutting board and knife, cut the lemon in half. You may notice the juice running out. And if you go ahead and grab that lemon and bring it up to the nose and give it a squeeze - there might be some mist. Maybe the juices are running down the hand.
You may have noticed an increase in salivation. You might have smelt the lemon. You might have felt the juices. So, the mind is so powerful in creating a literal biophysical change and biochemical change in the body. Right? That is like the process of manifestation - your thoughts create your reality.
KYRA: So when you think of something, your subconscious mind doesn’t actually know what’s real and what’s not. It doesn’t know the difference between reality and imagination. The more that you visualize, which is why visualization is such an important concept to manifestation, you’re creating a new neural pathway that is going to link you with that goal. Because it is going to believe that it’s real and the more that we visualize and the more we reinforce that neural pathway, it believes that it’s real so you are going to look for opportunities to bring that into your reality.
Also with the visualization and the thought, the biggest component here is the identity shift. Right? So, being the person who has the manifestation. And when you’re being the person, in that energy, your thoughts are going to be different. Right? Depending on what your goals are - say it’s a certain income level. Your thoughts at that income level versus where you are at today, the quality of your thoughts are different, the way that you think about your business is different, the way that you are actually thinking about your day. How you get ready for your day. What you are maybe wearing. What lipstick you’re using. All these little nuances do make a difference.
KYRA: The identity shift is a very crucial component but your identity and your beliefs do live in your subconscious mind. So, that’s why I love to use hypnosis - it kind of gets you onto the highway of your manifestation because we are going to build those neural pathways very, very quickly. You can do it consciously through affirmations but it takes a really long time because ultimately your subconscious mind always wins. Even though consciously you can be like, I want ‘a’ but if your subconscious mind wants ‘b’ - then it’s always going to go ‘b’. It drives your behavior as well.
So, step 1 is visualization, the identity shift and the beliefs that you have the Manifestation and the type of beliefs you are going to have in that new identity. When you want to create a new life, you have to change your thoughts. Which are going to change your behavior and your habits.
