Why your manifestations aren't working

Let me save you the basics, you already know about "feeling" the feelings, you've read the Secret and watched Joe Dispenza, and yet, your manifestations are still stuck in the water. This episode explores the two main culprits. Register for Spellcrafter - June 30-July 2nd:  https://cathowell.com/spellcrafter

The past year and a half, after delving into the emotional work and prioritising the greens unconditional of external circumstances, I took the stance that it was best to not set external/material goals or intentions, but I was wrong. On this episode I share the homecoming back to dreaming bravely and how my stance against goals was actually a resistance point that created too much detachment.

On today's episode, my long time friend and industry peer Ben Malol shares his story of losing himself in order to find his own hand. We were both in advertising around the same time, and our journeys took a similar path of unraveling in 2020 (aka: mental breakdown).  After chasing some arbitrary business goal that no longer felt exciting to him, the volcano bubbled over and Ben found himself facing an identity crises and dark night of the soul. This rock bottom, though tough at the time, ended up being the rebirth for Ben, a chance to reconnect with his own energy, and affinity to life.If you're facing your own identity crises (in business or in life) this is one episode you won't want to miss.  Connect with Ben on his Instagram (@itsbenmalol) >> 

Procrastination is a dirty word in today's society.  I've even heard someone refer to it as "a form of withholding love to yourself", insinuating that it's a bad thing. That we should "suck it up" and "do the thing" that needs doing. But what if it was actually there to preserve your energy, preventing you from exerting yourself in tasks or activities that are not necessary or could be approached in a much more effective way?In this episode I share three recent real-life examples of how procrastination serves us deeply.

Take one look at nature, the giver of our air, water, power and food, and you will observe, across both the macro and micro a natural pattern emerging.   A breath in, and out. Growth following recovery.   A shedding of leaves in the midst of a frost, so that energy may be conserved in anticipation of a spurt. A sprinter taking a break, because nonstop means breakage. Recovery and rest is required for growth. Unfortunately this natural cycle has been mislabeled. Often talked about as chaos. Because to the human brain, raised in a society where success is measured by productivity - rest is labeled as lazy. A cardinal sin. But rest should be permitted, if success is what is truly intentioned.  While there is nothing inherently wrong with rest and recovery, our minds are the biggest culprits in making it a suffering.   We shame ourselves for not being “tapped in, tuned in” to inspiration and motivation. Miserable in our search for a purpose. We wait for a permission slip to tell us to enjoy the moment, all the while swimming against a current. I’ve been guilty of this on more counts than I can count.The first place to start achieving this is to stop labelling rest and recovery phases as chaos, or something wrong.  If you have been through some things, if you have courageously faced big unknowns, then your body will need to restore energy, because make no mistake, you are a battery.Sometimes rest and recovery will last a couple days, sometimes weeks, sometimes years. They are equally proportionate to the growth potential accumulating. The more you resist rest and recovery, the more you keep yourself in the lesson.  That wellbeing exists only in the now, your ability to generate the greens is the only productivity you should be focused on. So rest little caterpillar. Focus yourself upon the things that bring you joy.  Because in the cocoon you can’t see it, but within it you are emerging wings. The less you resist the chrysalis, the faster they grow.

It's impossible to be searching for something (ie: more freedom, more confidence, more freedom) while perceptive of its existence at the same time. You only search because you wish to find it. But what if everything you desired was already right in front of your eyes, you're just not receiving it? On this episode I share a recent experience of perceptive illusions and a shortcut to manifesting what we seek into reality. For more join me inside the free Facebook group The Flow Protocols >> 

Take one look online and you will find millions of blog posts and videos around the subject of finding your life's purpose. Seven step quizzes, astrological frameworks, human design can sometimes be helpful, but more often than not, in searching for our purpose, we actually disconnect ourselves from the very thing we seek. Purpose has NOTHING to do with the vocation, occupation, career path or message you are sharing on this planet. Rather it is something internal and it's the SAME thing for every single one of us.

Freedom - be it creative, spiritual, time or relational - is something that most of us desire in some shape or form. We come to desire this through the discernment of the reds that show up: feeling trapped/ enslaved. We feel enslaved by our business, jobs, relationships and commitments. And in the experience come to forget that freedom - just like any other state - already exists in the now. On this episode I share a simple trick to help you unlock more freedom in your life.

I'm generally a confident person. I've worked hard and intentionally over the past four years on my emotional regulation, but I started off the year in some insecurity, doubt and confusion. Backstory: I recently re-launched the ads for my book Magic Source Codes two months ago, and have been steadily scaling these ever since. The sales stats have been really good, but as I began to scale ads, I started to get the typical: "you're going to hell"/ "you need Jesus" and "this cover is terrible" commentary. Mind you, it's not much and nothing that I couldn't handle, but I started to believe some of it (not the part about Jesus or hell, I know I'm a good person and I would vibe with Jesus). I started to question my cover and was about to hire a graphic designer to redo it so it had more mass appeal. And then I caught myself, I remembered that emotions are contagious and that those who shit on other's work are never coming from a place of gratitude or love. In my latest episode I talk about HOW to self source confidence and handle moments of rejection, bullying or trolling. As well as the little trick I used to flip these comments around to my advantage. If you're gunning for more visibility but fear judgement from others this is an episode not to be missed.
