Magnetic desire - What is it? How do you know if you have it? What do you do if you don't? How can you optimize it? Keep reading…
Welcome to my “Science of Manifestation” series. I’ll admit, manifestation is starting to feel like a sleazy word - anyone else agree? But, alas, those of us truly on the path have to keep it real and remain pillars of integrity (IYKYK). So I’m sharing important science + spirit backed pillars to manifestation because at the end of the day, I still want you to win 💜
In this series I’ll be covering:
Magnetic Desire
How/ Why you get in your own way
Neuroscientific underpinnings of Manifestation
Let’s begin with why you’re trying to manifest in the first place, which is desire.
We all have desires. Besides the suggestions being thrown at us at any & every chance by advertisements, we have our conscious desires and we have our unconscious desires. We have our ego based desires, and we have Soul based desires.
Ego based desires bring a false promise of fulfillment. Any satisfaction gained is fleeting. Ego based desires are an “outside in” approach. That is, you seek something outside of yourself in hopes to feel something within. A huge driving force I notice in ego based desire is the desire to be accepted. Your conscious desire is a mask for your unconscious desire.
“If I get the trendy outfits I’ll fit in.”
“If I get the degree then I’ll prove I belong in my profession”
“If I get the new _______, then I’ll definitely get the ________”
“When I get _______ then I’ll be ________”
Look, I get it. We live on earth and sometimes it’s fun to play “in the matrix” and manifest fun & cute stuff. However, you don’t want this to be your primary drive because you’ll never get off the track.
Soul based desires bring true fulfillment. That in and of itself is a statement that could be dissected, but we don’t necessarily have the time for that in this post. Rather, let’s focus on Soul based desires being an “inside out” approach. Meaning, it is the feeling of wholeness, love, and curiosity within you that drives your desire to create or attract. When I see people working towards Soul based desires, what I see is a strong sense of Self, and magnetic desire
Magnetic desire is a real, deep reason for why you want what you want. Keyword real. Might even add ‘raw,’ but we could also call it authentic. There is no facade behind magnetic desire, you are not fooling yourself or anyone else. This level of honesty is a frequency that comes from your core, and then you can tap into that reservoir you tap into power, physically & psychically.
One of the cool things about magnetic desire is that it opens your awareness. Magnetic desire has a direct affect on your physiology, it fuels changes in the brain that help you recognize more opportunities that align with your goal. It trains your brain and updates a little something called ‘value tagging’.
How do you know if you have a magnetic desire?
I’ll ask you this -
How motivated do you feel?
Even if not as motivated as you could be, how focused are you on the goal?
Is your ‘eye on the prize’ or are you easily distracted by shiny new desires as they come along?
When you are tapped into magnetic desire you know. It is a drive from within that fuels you even when you want to give up. There is a sense of satisfaction that comes just from working towards the goal and you’re not as consumed with the outcome.
So what happens when you combine some spirit force and magnetic desire? You get a fun little biochemical cocktail. You can optimize your magnetic desire with visualization, but also, with gratitude. Both create changes in the brain. Specifically, when combined with gratitude, you get a “chemical cocktail” of feel good hormones. The combination of tuning into the energetics of gratitude while thinking/ visualizing your magnetic desire gives you a hit of dopamine!
By now you may be feeling a little dread, thinking you don’t have any magnetic desire or worse, fearing you’re not capable of it. Fear not! While I wanted to share what you can do if you don’t have a magnetic desire in this post, I realize I’ve rambled on quite a bit 😇 and in honor of your time, and attention span (hello skimmer), I’ll share more on this particular point in another post!
I hope you found this interesting! Feel free to share this with a friend or leave a comment in the comment section.
