Here is more of my take on manifesting things into your life. You absolutely can manifest things into your life, in fact, I believe that people often unconsciously manifest things. But manifesting can't be used to get rid of all the things you perceive as “bad” in your life. We have to learn to see the good that comes out of bad. There is usually an opportunity for learning or growth or change.

Manifesting is you telling the universe, I am feeling a little overwhelmed in this one area of my life... relationship, home ownership, money, resolving a specific problem, etc. Can you help me? The universe feels like a parent to you and it wants to give us what we want. It just has to be possible without bending the rules too much. That said, there are reasons that manifestation does not work.

Going to the well to often. Say you manifest a really cute boyfriend/girlfriend and then get tired of him/her so you break up. Then you try to manifest another boyfriend/girlfriend. It won't work. It's going to the well to often. The universe already gave you what you asked for. Wait a year, then try again... but be more specific about what you want.

Design your wish before you start. Be general but be specific. If you ask for a pay raise, that is very specific request, something your boss might not be inclined to do. But if you asked for more money to enter your life, maybe the universe will provide another opportunity, a new job, a chance to go back to school, etc. But you have to pay attention to the opportunity when it arises.

Asking for something that is too unlikely. If you ask to meet a red haired, blue eyed girl who is a model and the nearest girl that meets that description is 6,000 miles away, then it won't work. The universe can only bend the rules so far for you.

Not broadcasting the desire/wish appropriately. Start with the feeling that you are telling the universe, I sorry I have to ask, but I need a little help with this one thing. I would be so grateful if you could just give me a little help. Then emotionally broadcast the feeling of that wish, the house, the wish, the money, the boyfriend...

Not meeting the universe halfway. If you ask to meet and make some really good friends in your life but you never leave your house, even for groceries, the universe doesn't have much to work with. You have do things to improve your odds of getting what you want. Move to a bigger city, get out more, what ever it takes to improve your odds.

No being consistent enough or patient enough. Try manifesting three times per week for 2 weeks. Then wait 2 months and see what happens. If nothing happens, redesign your manifestation, be more general and start over.
