313 | The Neuroscience Behind Living in Your Feminine Energy & Doing Less To Be More

What if the most powerful thing you could do for your manifestations… is stop wanting them? In this episode, I'm sharing the gift I'm giving myself this December: presence. After realizing there was nothing I wanted to buy, chase, or add, I landed in a deeper truth—this is the state where manifestation actually happens. Presence isn't passive. It's not giving up. It's the embodied knowing that nothing is missing. In today's episode, we explore how being fully present shifts your nervous system, helps you hold what you manifest (love, money, success), and aligns you with what Neville Goddard called the Sabbath—the state of inner stillness where desires no longer feel active because they're already done. This is an invitation to soften, integrate, and become the woman who can receive and keep everything she calls in. 💫 In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why wanting creates resistance—and presence creates magnetism How presence signals safety to your nervous system The reason many women manifest things they can't hold What Neville Goddard meant by living in the Sabbath How December is the perfect month for integration and embodiment A gentle 21-day presence practice you can begin today Morning, midday, and evening rituals to anchor into the present moment How to stop chasing manifestations and let them arrive naturally 👑 Invitation: Manifestation Queen Academy If you're ready to stop manifesting things you can't hold—and instead become the woman who feels safe receiving love, money, ease, and success—this is the work we're doing inside Manifestation Queen Academy. This month, we're practicing embodiment, nervous system safety, and living in the Sabbath so you can close the year integrated, grounded, and deeply aligned. ✨ Join us and step into the woman who has it all. 👉 Join Manifestation Queen Academy here ***WELCOME TO MY WORLD*** 💌  Receive my FREE weekly personal development love letters  💻 Read my blog: ashlinakaposta.com 📖 Check out my my collection of e-books 🎥 Watch my videos on YouTube 👋 Connect with me on Instagram @ashlinakaposta 👉 Shop my favorites in books, spirituality & skincare   

If you loved last week's episode on detaching from your thoughts, you're going to melt into this one. Today, we're going deeper — into the body, the nervous system, and the science behind why manifestation only works when your body and mind are in full alignment. Inside this episode, I'm sharing the 8 daily rituals I've been using to move out of survival mode and back into my feminine power — especially during the overstimulating holiday season. We're talking about presence, softening, Pinterest visioning, havening, classical music frequency, and how to activate your prefrontal cortex (your manifestation center) by calming the amygdala (your fear center). This is the episode that will help you stop manifesting from stress… and start manifesting from safety, embodiment, and magnetism. ✨ In this episode, you'll learn: Why your nervous system is your true manifestation portal The science behind manifestation: amygdala vs. prefrontal cortex How calming the amygdala increases clarity, intuition, and receiving Why your manifestations can't land if your body is in survival mode Feminine embodiment rituals that regulate your nervous system How to step into the identity of the operant power How Pinterest vision boards help you FEEL your future — not just think it How to create safety, softness, and presence in chaotic seasons ✨ Mentioned in this episode: 📝 Full Nervous System Glow-Up Blog Post: All the home tools, wellness items, and high-support products I use daily → 💗 Manifestation Queen Academy: A full month of embodiment + nervous system rewiring Includes: 60-minute prefrontal cortex rewiring training Feminine receiving practices Nervous system rituals Identity-level manifestation work Join here →  CLICK HERE to download my FREE Manifestation Mindset Makeover guide

In this empowering episode, I'm sharing the real reasons I decided to step away from Instagram and put all of my creative energy into Pinterest — and how that single decision completely transformed my business.
