Manifesting By Rajeeyah Finnie-Myers

When I think about manifestation these days, I can't help but refer back to the many conversations, meetings, sessions and even simple moments that I've shared with 3 special women for the past 5 years now. We've called ourselves the Echo-makers, God-is Manifest, friends and much more but really I can't think of a word that truly describes the magic of our relationship with one another. We started out as a group of women dedicated to supporting one another's creative process. We came together to listen, to sing, to dance, to praise, to support and to awaken and strengthen our voices. At times onlookers were intrigued and even captured us in photos. But ultimately this has been a very personal journey. Our manifestation circle transformed into being exactly what I needed when I needed it year after year. It has challenged me when I've become complacent. It's lifted me up in my lowest moments. It's made me laugh when I've taken myself way to seriously. It's given me the confidence to ask for what I want. And it's reminded me that it's okay to change my mind. What does it mean to manifest? It means to allow the truth of who we are to unfold before us from moment to moment to moment. Consciously or unconsciously we are are all manifesting. And the most difficult part of it all is realizing just how simple it is to just do it. Manifestation Circle in Central Park August 2009

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition copyright ©, How I have experience it is the process of bringing something to life, or maybe even perhaps enlivening the life already extant within. God-Is manifest emerged from the will/the dreams of four light beings wishing to come together to support one another's vision, specifically centered around the creative process. I for sure, had no clue at the time of how this sweet and simple seed would give rise to much more than could imagine at the time. I had been par of a few circles at the time and was amazed at the support, love and gifts these gatherings provided. In some ways these gatherings in circles was like an anchor in my life. grounding us all in the magic that resides in the depths of divine connections between all things. God-Is Manifest was then and is now a way to share in the vision and process of divinity being manifested on this Earth. That's at least how I am experiencing it:) Meeting consistently and sporadically for over five years ( !!!!!!!!), the group intention of manifestation has remained consistent. Yet what we have been manifesting has taken various forms throughout the years. Originating from the call to share our creative selves/our creative works has melded with the issues that come up around creating and sharing work. As well as many other issues related to manifestation, i.e., prosperity/abundance; process vs. product. I feel I can safely say I would not be sitting where I am now if it had not been for these meetings. So simple and yet so mysterious I continue to be blown away by the power of sharing our visions with others. Having these visions be seen, heard and acknowledged in a myriad of forms. My concept of manifestation continues to shift. Rather than viewing this as a single obsolete event it is a continuous magical stream/play of life. The dance that takes place between the inner and outer worlds. The dance of dreams Thank you for being a part of it Lovin you Ashni
