How To Manifest What Your Soul Desires According To This Famous Spiritual Teacher
The ultimate form of manifesting.
Michael Bernard Beckwith is a manifesting legend.
He is a renowned spiritual teacher and author, was in the hit movie The Secret that made the Law of Attraction go mainstream in the 2000s, serves as Oprah’s resident spiritual advisor, and is a pioneer of modern manifesting.
The fascinating thing about Michael is that he teaches a completely different style of manifesting compared to anyone else.
His signature teaching is called the “Life Visioning Process,” which he describes as “Manifestation under grace” — and the idea behind it is about:
Allowing something to happen instead of trying to make something happen.
The process involves blending three ingredients:
- Intentionality
- Surrender
- The Soul
The first two are about achieving balance — harmonizing our intentions with letting go. Michael refers to this as integrating mind and heart together by making something happen with our mind power while welcoming it with our heart.
Then, we add the last and most potent ingredient: what our soul wants.
In other words, it’s not about only manifesting outcomes that indulge our ego. Instead, the ultimate form of manifesting is about revealing what our soul is here to experience, or what Michael calls “the unique destiny and vision we are loaded and coded with.”
Below are the five steps to his process.
The Live Visioning Process
Unlike most manifestation techniques, this process is not about “doing it” during meditation or journaling. Instead, it’s more about embodiment — living with a certain level of awareness and vibration while inquiring within yourself.
1. Embody a feeling tone of love.
This is about unequivocally believing and feeling you exist in and are surrounded by a field of love. You move into an awareness that love is the Universe itself, the essence of everything, and each of us is an individuation of love.
Once we begin embodying this state, through meditation or organically in our lives, we start reflecting on the questions in steps two through five.
2. “What am I here to reveal?”
Instead of asking ourselves, “what do I want,” like we typically do, we ask: “What am I here to reveal?” This step is about evoking the truths within us and less about fulfilling desires imprinted on our minds from our ego and past conditioning.
Michael always suggests starting with these two questions:
- What is the infinite’s idea of itself as my life?
- What is seeking to emerge as my life?
The answers that will begin to emerge are part of a vision unique to you.
3. “Who must I become?”
This question is manifesting 101: The Law of Resonance or identity shifting, in which the Universe acts as a mirror — giving you a reflection of who you are. Transformation in your outer reality always begins from the inside. So, in this step, we ask ourselves:
In order to receive the vision seeking to emerge from inside of me, and manifest it into reality:
- How must I grow?
- What must I become?
- What qualities do I need to birth?
This step is where the power of manifesting lies because you cannot possess what you are unwilling to become in consciousness and vibration.
4. Make use of what you already have.
Here’s the twist: we already have more than enough right now to become the person we need to be — in order to manifest our soul’s vision. Usually, we have the skills, knowledge, and connections to create the change we want in our lives, but it goes unacknowledged.
This step involves acknowledging and claiming the resources to help you on your journey. Doing so will empower you to take action on your vision while moving you out of a state of lack and into one of “having.”
5. Surrender and release.
This is a biggie. In the final step, you explore what you need to let go of to allow your soul’s vision to take hold and manifest by asking:
- What must I release in my life?
- What used to serve me that is no longer?
- What ideas or beliefs do I need to let go of?
The key here is understanding that transformation happens by letting go, not gaining, accumulating, or accomplishing.
Final Words: “The Principle of Perfection”
From studying Michael’s Life Visioning Process and the work of other spiritual teachers, the backbone of manifesting from the soul is based on the nuance that you are already perfect, and there’s nothing you lack or need.
Technically, when we manifest from the soul, we are not actually “manifesting.” We are unfolding our innate perfection.
I call this “The Principle of Perfection” — which acts as our guiding framework as we navigate the spiritual path and unfold the unique purpose and vision of why we are here in this physical form, having this human experience.
What we call “manifesting” is merely a function of spiritual growth, a process of revelation and remembering who we really are. We are removing the rust we accumulated over time, shining the light of awareness onto our divine perfection, resonating with that truth, and becoming conscious creators of our reality.
