I’ve written a few posts about manifestation based on a book I recently read on the topic. The title itself is very appealing: “Manifest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life” by Roxie Nafousi.

It provides a practical guide to understanding and practicing manifestation through Roxie’s 7-Step Guide to Manifesting:

1. Be clear in your vision
2. Remove fear and doubt
3. Align your behaviour
4. Overcome tests from the universe
5. Embrace gratitude without caveats
6. Turn envy into inspiration
7. Trust in the universe

What’s important is that these seven steps are not meant to be followed in order — they need to be practiced all at the same time.

In recent years, we’ve talked a lot about manifestation, and sometimes we even manifest things unconsciously, without realizing that we’re doing it. At least, that’s been true for me.

I don’t know enough about manifestation to judge whether this is the definitive book on the topic, but I do think it’s a good book for:

• Beginners who are just starting to learn about manifestation.
• People who prefer practical exercises and don’t know where to begin.
• Those who need a bit of spiritual belief during chaotic times — something to hold onto or believe in.

Beyond the practical steps, Roxie also explains manifestation from a scientific perspective. For example, she discusses how emotions and feelings strongly influence us, especially when viewed on a spectrum from low vibration to high vibration.

If we can experience more high-vibration emotions than low-vibration ones — such as unconditional love, peace, joy, gratitude, kindness, enthusiasm, optimism, hope, confidence, and contentment — our lives begin to shift.

Some highlights and notes I kept for myself from the book, before passing it on to my younger sister at work:

• To achieve what we want, we must feel and immerse ourselves in the emotion of already having it. We attract what we feel.
• When our emotions and feelings change, our vibration changes — and so does our life.
• “Can I look at this from another perspective?” is a powerful question when facing low-vibration emotions.
• Replace “if” with “when” — doubt can weaken manifestation.
• Talk about what you want, not what you don’t want.
• Practice affirmations in the morning and at night before sleeping. Start with 4–5 sentences. This helps rewrite our internal narratives with positivity instead of fear and doubt.
• Stop judgment, regret, and toxic self-talk.
• Say NO to what you don’t want to do.
• Your past does not define you — or your future.
• You can only change your life by changing your daily habits.

At its core, manifestation is deeply connected to your values — shaped by your thoughts, energy, daily practices, habits, relationships, the behaviors you accept from others, and your willingness to step outside your comfort zone.

I’m practicing manifestation myself — and I hope you will too, during and after reading this book.

Thank you, and happy holidays to you and your family.
