Disturbing image while manifesting

#1

So… ive been a bit shook this morning.

I was in a very comfortable almost lucid dream like manifesting state… you know thst staye where you just know youve accessed something. A real catalyst for creation… I was loving it…

And then i saw my little girl as if she had lukemia or something… it just flashed up while i was in this very potent creating state.

So now ive been trying to manifest my way out of that but theyre based in fear…

Am i best just ignoring it? Or countering it with plenty of other vivid images that suggest shes 20, 30 year old and we are both healthy (ill be an old man in the vision obviously!)…

But ive just been shook… this forum and sapiens tools give me hope no matter what happens, but this wasnt part of my plan as i lie there manifesting up an idylic future.

With love and gratitude

You know it’s interesting you bring that up and I’ve had some negative images come up fears etc while in an active manifesting state. And this is wild theory but I wonder if it’s a reflection of the collective unconscious just begging us to both face our own fears and offer blessings to all.

So we’ve heard a number of times that what you resist persists so if you resist the thoughts. They will just come up more and more in different ways.

I have to wonder if when a disturbing though came up, if we just went, “you know what for everyone in the world actually dealing with this right now let me offer blessings and love” maybe the thought would go away rather than if we push against it

On the other hand note that you probably have also very vivid positive amazinig pictures during manifesting. Not all of them will cone true.

It goes both ways.

it happened to me many times i think its coming of fear.

Rarely it happens to me that I see some images, when I am doing yoga and I close my eyes or when I go to sleep (a few times a year, at most).

One of The worst images that i saw was my mom in a weelchair, this was a few months before her diabetic wounds appeared, I even told her back then, now she has an amputation, unfortunately.

A few times throughout the years, I saw myself or members of my family in a coffin; it didn’t happen, fortunately…

So, some glimpses show possible future events, yet the best is to not give these images strength, like you said.

Ok… this makes sense

So if i ever needed motivation to practise letting go and returning to love each time this is it :slight_smile:

My fearfull ways can talk a long walk off a short pear as they say!

Thanks friends

You have nothing to be scared of. Its just normal mental stuff from what I can intuit in my reading. Your mind is always interpreting things, coming up with meanings, showing images, etc.

The quote below is from someone dealing with something similar. As you can see he was also in a state where his mind was very sensitive to these things.

When I first took robes and entered the monastic community of Ajahn Chah, I had already been practicing meditation for two years. Now, sitting and walking mindfully for hours in a little hut in the forest clearing, my mind gradually became quite open and sensitive. One day as I was scanning my attention through my body, I noticed with curiosity that there were some areas where I could hardly feel anything and my skin felt numb. With further awareness, this perception grew even clearer. Then I had the thought “patches of numbness on the limbs are one of the first signs of leprosy.” I was not usually prone to hypochondria, but during part of my time in the Peace Corps, I had worked with lepers in a rural health program. Now my mind got worried. I was afraid that the numbness meant I’d contracted leprosy. What would I do? Do they throw leprous monks out of the temple? My fear grew rapidly. Thoughts proliferated. I pictured my whole life unfolding as a leper, an outcast and then a beggar. Already isolated in my forest hut, I now felt really alone. Then I imagined having to tell my mother, “Your son is a leper and he can never come home.” Self-pity was added to the alarm. My thoughts went crazy. What was I to do? I was too ashamed to say anything about it. What if it wasn’t true? What if it was? I waited and practiced while this whole movie played for several days.

Some glimpses show possible future events, but it seems either you or your mom had some information about her condition. It seems your mind just made a logical leap to what could happen.

I don’t post this to attack you, its just that this topic is relevant.

You had a normal intrusive thought, which millions of people have. While reading this sentence a million+ people just had an experience just like yours.

You just gave it far more meaning than any normal person would.

People on this forum misdiagnose themselves a lot, so I’m calling attention to it.

This was a complete textbook intrusive thought.

Yeh i can accept that,

I get what inwas more worried about was that my manifestations have been very rapid in manifesting… i would imagine even more so if something was thought of while in a state as deep as this. I was worried i gave poeer to it you see…

However im no longer giving it thought. What everyone has said here is enough

So Thankyou all

You’re welcome man.

Your unconscious mind understands your intent so it shouldn’t manifest anything while you’re meditating.

If this is still troubling you in any way, PM me and I’ll help remove those feelings.

A bit late to this thread but I have some experience I think may be able to help. I’ve been diagnosed with OCD since I was very young and I frequently have those kinds of intrusive thoughts. None of them have ever happened. Like not even one. I’ve seen similar experiences with other people with OCD who are into manifestation. None of them happen. Not even the ones I’ve negatively obsessed about for years.

Obviously bad things CAN manifest. But I think for the majority, intrusive thoughts don’t. Even the times I thought they actually would, they didn’t. I’ve also got some strong shields in place, so who knows, but I’ve even been in those exact states that you’re mentioning, and had the exact opposite of my intention flash before my consciousness in my mind. This is actually a fairly common symptom of your subconscious mind purging negativity. It be like that.

I have a method to put disturbing images into perspective. They show up some times but also unicorns,pink marsmallow clouds and wafle rainbows sprinkled with edible gold show up…

:slightly_smiling_face:

Just chilli and practice your meditation with light approach.
