Introduction
Manifestation is often misunderstood as wishful thinking or something mystical. However, as explained by Gayathri Shivaram in her masterclass, manifestation is a grounded process. It involves self-awareness, healing, and consistent action, all supported by principles from psychology and neuroscience.
Key Principles of Manifestation
1. How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything
Your approach to small tasks reflects your approach to larger goals. Manifestation is about not just starting (being an initiator), but also following through and finishing (being a finitiator).
2. Manifestation Is Not Magic
Your current “vibration”-a combination of thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and even unresolved trauma-shapes what you attract. You don’t manifest what you want; you manifest what you normalize through your beliefs and habits.
3. Healing Is Essential
You cannot manifest effectively without addressing and healing emotional wounds. Healing is not linear; it’s a gradual, spiral process. Like cleaning a room, you start small and keep working at it every day.
4. Myths About Manifestation
- 100% Positivity: Toxic positivity is not required. What matters are your dominant subconscious thoughts.
- Thinking and Visualizing Is Enough: Action is necessary.
- Overnight Results: Manifestation is a process, not an event.
- Healing Means Forgetting: Suppressing pain doesn’t heal it.
- No More Sadness: Feeling sad is normal, even during manifestation.
- Healing Others First: You must embody change before inspiring others.
5. Purpose and Intention
The intention behind your goal matters. If your desire comes from ego or a sense of lack, it can create suffering. True purpose is about self-understanding and contributing to the bigger picture, not just achieving outcomes.
Universal Laws That Influence Manifestation

- Law of Vibration: Your dominant feelings and thoughts shape your reality.
- Law of Alignment: Thoughts, words, feelings, and actions must be in sync.
- Law of Assumption: Your beliefs shape your experiences.
- Law of Detachment: Focus on the journey, not just the outcome.
- Law of Least Effort: Alignment makes effort feel easier.

Why Change Is Difficult
Change requires forming new neural connections. “Neurons that fire together, wire together.” Repetition is key until new habits become effortless. Old patterns, especially those rooted in scarcity, can persist even when your circumstances change.
Self-Love and Manifestation
Your level of abundance is directly related to how much you love and value yourself. Self-love is the ability to sit with yourself, face uncomfortable truths, and keep promises to yourself. Building self-trust is essential for confidence.
