Happy Wednesday Woo!

Join Heather Masters as she dives into the transformative power of manifestation, emphasising the importance of understanding your true desires beyond surface-level wants.

Drawing on her experiences and insights from neuro-linguistic programming, Heather guides listeners through practical steps to unlock their potential and create their desired reality. She highlights the significance of embodying the feelings associated with your goals, maintaining unwavering belief in their realization, and the necessity of taking inspired action.

As she recounts personal anecdotes, including her journey to complete a 10k race, Heather encourages embracing resistance and challenges as essential parts of growth. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that inspires you to align your aspirations with your authentic self and manifest a fulfilling life.

About This Episode

Heather captivates her audience with a profound exploration of manifestation, weaving together personal anecdotes and actionable advice. At the heart of the discussion lies the concept of agency—the ability to take ownership of one’s life and the world around us.

Heather emphasises that true manifestation begins with a deep understanding of one’s desires, urging listeners to peel back the layers of superficial wants to discover what brings them genuine fulfilment. She presents a structured approach to manifestation, focusing on embodying the feelings associated with one's goals, cultivating unwavering belief, and the vital practice of letting go of attachment to outcomes.

Throughout the episode, Heather draws on her own experiences, such as her commitment to running a 10k race, to illustrate how dedication and visualisation can lead to surprising outcomes.

The episode culminates in a powerful reminder that every individual possesses the inherent ability to shape their reality, encouraging listeners to embrace their authenticity and recognize that they are always in the process of manifesting their lives, whether consciously or not.

This episode serves not only as a guide to personal growth but also as a call to action for collective responsibility towards a better world.

Takeaways:

  • Understanding your true desires requires digging beneath surface-level wants, like money, to find deeper emotional needs.
  • Manifestation involves not only believing it's done but also letting go of attachment to outcomes.
  • Embracing the process of resistance is just as important as the final manifestation goal itself.
  • Taking inspired action towards your goals is essential; manifestations require effort and commitment to achieve.
  • True fulfilment comes from focusing on meaningful experiences rather than solely material possessions or status.
  • To manifest effectively, one must be ready to receive what they truly desire in their lives.

Transcripts

Heather Masters:

Good morning and welcome to Wednesday Woo.

Heather Masters:

I'm Heather Masters and this is day three of a ten day challenge.

Heather Masters:

And I had a whole load of stuff organized to speak about today, but there's obviously been a bit of a distraction this morning.

Heather Masters:

So congratulations to President Trump.

Heather Masters:

Okay, so I was thinking about manifestation only because I have had some big successes with manifesting things that I want in my life and also I've had some massive struggles and mainly around money.

Heather Masters:

So I wanted to talk about what I've learned over the last many years since I started working with neuro linguistic programming and also just reading, reading all that I could about manifesting, about how we create, how we are the creators of our reality, how we are the creators of our world at a higher consciousness level.

Heather Masters:

So I want to sort of dip into that a little bit today, but I want to do it on a practical level.

Heather Masters:

I think we're at a very special time in history where focusing on what we want and what I mean by that is the depth of what we want, not what we want on the surface, but what that actually means deeper in terms of what's coming from source, what the universe wants for us and what we want for ourselves and how to create that in our lives, not just for ourselves, but to support us in showing up for the rest of humanity.

Heather Masters:

I think it's a day of self celebration, but I also think it's a pivot for humanity and I don't think we're out of the woods quite yet.

Heather Masters:

So being able to really get in touch with what you want, not just for your own life, but for, for the world, for humanity.

Heather Masters:

I think it's a key time to do that.

Heather Masters:

I'm going to skim the surface today in terms of taking you through seven steps to help you unlock not just what you want, but how to create that in your own life.

Heather Masters:

And I think the number one thing to mention here is that it's about agency, about stepping into our own power and owning our responsibility for the world we create around us.

Heather Masters:

So welcome to Wednesday Woo.

Heather Masters:

Number one in manifesting, as I say, is actually knowing what you truly want.

Heather Masters:

Often there's kind of a surface level once, especially when you find yourself in lack and urgency and fear.

Heather Masters:

So you might say you want money, but that's not actually what you really want, it's what money can get you.

Heather Masters:

And even below that.

Heather Masters:

So you might want to pay the rents, for instance, you want the money to pay the rent, but even below that is that you want security and a roof over your Head.

Heather Masters:

So it's digging down through those layers and asking, well, why is that important?

Heather Masters:

Why is that important?

Heather Masters:

And getting to the emotional feeling, the deep feeling of being safe and secure in your accommodation in your home, if you like.

Heather Masters:

So really digging beneath the.

Heather Masters:

The higher wants till we get to the essence of what we want.

Heather Masters:

And focusing on that essence because that allows the universe to bring us results in unexpected and even much better ways than we can perceive or anticipate for ourselves when we're coming from a space of lack, if you like.

Heather Masters:

So it's about digging deep and getting your true desires.

Heather Masters:

And the kind of, the fuel, the essence of being able to manifest the next step is once you've got that, to really sit in it.

Heather Masters:

So sit in that feeling of security, of having a home that's beautiful, that really surrounds you and comforts you and, you know, kind of holds you in the energy of.

Heather Masters:

Of warmth, of whatever home is for you, a family, of embracing a secure, safe place where you can rest and relax, where there's maybe serenity, whatever it is for you, really tapping into those feelings and breathing into the reality of it and believing that you're actually there in the moment.

Heather Masters:

It's already been fulfilled.

Heather Masters:

What does it feel like?

Heather Masters:

And embody that feeling because that's where the magic begins.

Heather Masters:

And then decide that is absolutely yours with every fiber of your being.

Heather Masters:

It's already done.

Heather Masters:

You have this unwavering belief that it's done and that's your manifestation superpower.

Heather Masters:

You know it's done and then you let it go.

Heather Masters:

Because this is a tricky part.

Heather Masters:

Once you've decided that it's done, that you've actually felt it and you know that exactly how you want it to show up.

Heather Masters:

I need to detach from the outcome and trust that the universe is going to manifest it in the highest possible way for you.

Heather Masters:

And then when you go through the.

Heather Masters:

The weeks or however long it takes for the manifestation to show up, and I.

Heather Masters:

And this is just my assumption that sometimes if you have that absolute belief, that absolute knowing that turns up faster than you can ever imagine.

Heather Masters:

It's when we have resistance, when we have doubts, when we allow those kind of thoughts to creep in that stop us, that it delays the manifestation because we're telling the universe.

Heather Masters:

Actually, I'm not really quite sure.

Heather Masters:

And you get what you focus on.

Heather Masters:

So it's about really focusing on what you're manifesting while at the same time letting it go.

Heather Masters:

So there's no attachment to it.

Heather Masters:

And that's really the challenge, if you like and then to embrace any resistance.

Heather Masters:

So by moving from where you are to where you want to be, there is inevitably a challenge.

Heather Masters:

There are actions to be taken, there are things that will happen that will maybe throw you into doubt.

Heather Masters:

And it's about sitting in that absolute knowing that you've made that choice, you've made that decision that you absolutely know something is going to show up.

Heather Masters:

And I'm sure you've done this before, I'm sure it's, you've chosen that you are definitely going to have something, whether it's been a concert ticket or a holiday abroad or, you know, something as small as a, you know, a particular pen maybe, or a notebook that you've seen and you thought, I just have to have that.

Heather Masters:

And maybe at the time you couldn't buy immediately, but you knew however it was going to turn up, it was going to turn up in your life.

Heather Masters:

Maybe you've done it with a relationship, with a partner, maybe you've done it with a car that you've wanted that it's been out of, you know, by.

Heather Masters:

You've perceived, it's out of your reach.

Heather Masters:

But by sitting and deciding, it's come into your life in some way or another.

Heather Masters:

I know for me, a few years ago I decided, I volunteered to run a 10k race around Richmond park in London.

Heather Masters:

And one, I hadn't been to the park, so I hadn't really realized what the terrain was like.

Heather Masters:

And two, I hadn't run in over 20 years and I was in my 40s at the time, so it was kind of a challenge.

Heather Masters:

And it was four weeks away to the race.

Heather Masters:

But the, the cause I was running for was for the rehabilitation of young girls who had been trafficked.

Heather Masters:

So it was a real passion to actually do it.

Heather Masters:

And I went to the park to have a look at the, the terrain, the route, what it was like.

Heather Masters:

And I remember sitting down and thinking, I either have to drop out or I have to run it all the way.

Heather Masters:

And, you know, I was.

Heather Masters:

I've never been a big runner.

Heather Masters:

I've always been a stop and take a breath type person.

Heather Masters:

But what I didn't want to do is really interesting.

Heather Masters:

I didn't want to come last.

Heather Masters:

When you run in a big race, like a marathon or a half marathon, like the Great North Run in the uk, there are hundreds of thousands of people, so the likelihood of you coming last is pretty slim, unless you're really, really unfit and you're going to walk it.

Heather Masters:

So there was only probably 100 people.

Heather Masters:

And so the likelihood of Me coming last after not running for 20 years and being four weeks away was massive.

Heather Masters:

So I had to make a, that I was not going to come last.

Heather Masters:

It didn't matter if I came fifth last, I just didn't want to come last.

Heather Masters:

So.

Heather Masters:

And sitting there on this log in Richmond Park, I visualized myself crossing the line, arms in the air, have.

Heather Masters:

Having run the whole of the course, you know, without walking for any length of time and definitely not coming last.

Heather Masters:

And it was quite amazing.

Heather Masters:

I actually in four weeks managed to get fit enough to run it and not only did I run it all the way around, I actually, for the first time in my running history, managed to get into the zone.

Heather Masters:

So it was really magical to be able to do that.

Heather Masters:

So I truly believe that when we make that decision and we can sit and be that person crossing the finishing line with all of the emotion and the visuals and everything else, that no matter what your goal is at some level, it's possible.

Heather Masters:

Now of course, you know, I was never going to win Wimbledon under 40s if I was over 40, so there are kind of some practical limits to things.

Heather Masters:

But I do believe that we can go beyond what we perceive our potential to be.

Heather Masters:

So, you know, embrace the resistance.

Heather Masters:

Yeah, I had to run every day for four weeks with only, you know, maybe a one day break during that time.

Heather Masters:

And I had to believe every morning that when I got out to run that I was actually going to be able to finish.

Heather Masters:

And it had to, I had to have that.

Heather Masters:

It had to be taking the action.

Heather Masters:

It wasn't necessary.

Heather Masters:

I wasn't going to turn up on the day without having trained or done some training and managed to get around the whole 10k.

Heather Masters:

So yeah, it's, it's about having that willingness to show up and do what it takes as well.

Heather Masters:

Embrace the resistance, embrace the hurdles.

Heather Masters:

You know, I thought I'd pull the muscle, but I still had to go out running.

Heather Masters:

I had to take it easy, but I was still out there exercising and building that vision of completing.

Heather Masters:

You have to become that future self.

Heather Masters:

You know, you have to really lean into what it takes to achieve that result and embossy the person and embody that person now.

Heather Masters:

So I had to become, for me, the person who was capable of running a whole 10k, irrespective of age, irrespective of level of fitness.

Heather Masters:

I had to step into the person that was going to run every day and that was going to show up and do her utmost on the day and to enjoy it.

Heather Masters:

I, you know, had to take the inspired action from that new version of me and show up as that running version of me that hadn't been there before.

Heather Masters:

And that's kind of what it takes to, to sometimes manifest things.

Heather Masters:

And I think sometimes that's the, the missing link, the willingness to show up and take the action that's required to manifest.

Heather Masters:

So there are a lot of people out there who want to be billionaires, but there are certain actions that you have to take to be a billionaire.

Heather Masters:

There's a certain mindset to it.

Heather Masters:

Billionaires do things differently.

Heather Masters:

So it's learning about what is it that they do and modeling that in order to become a billionaire and to be willing to do the work and to be willing to step into leadership and to step into abundance and to step into those beliefs that being a billionaire is absolutely possible.

Heather Masters:

I think a lot of people want to manifest being a millionaire or billionaire, but deep down, if they go deep into those levels of what they really want, it might not be, you know, they may not want to do all of the work that it takes to become a billionaire.

Heather Masters:

They may not want to do the mind shift and to step into that billionaire their figure.

Heather Masters:

So, you know, really do check in when you're wanting to manifest.

Heather Masters:

When you.

Heather Masters:

And for me, one of the big things is actually that decision, really making that decision and commitment that you're going to be and take the actions that are necessary for you to achieve the, the result and then to allow the magic, allow the universe to show up in whatever way.

Heather Masters:

It might have an even better plan for you than you've imagined.

Heather Masters:

So staying open to everything that happens and following your intuition and your guidance and receiving, being open to receive.

Heather Masters:

Because if you're not open to receive, you're not going to receive.

Heather Masters:

So, you know, that's the one thing like wanting to be a billionaire.

Heather Masters:

But are you ready to receive a billion pounds, a billion dollars, whatever it is for you, are you actually ready to receive that into your world?

Heather Masters:

Can you actually see how it would change your world, your family, your friends and every aspect of your life?

Heather Masters:

And are you ready to receive that?

Heather Masters:

And you're talking about money.

Heather Masters:

One of the, the things about manifesting is that we really should be aiming for something that fulfills us over false fortune.

Heather Masters:

So prior prioritizing what fulfills us, what is for our highest good, what helps us to serve, what helps us to help other people can really inspire us to manifest over just manifesting.

Heather Masters:

Money and status or possessions really don't have that essence behind them, don't have that feeling of freedom of fun, of love, of laughter, of service, of fulfillment behind them.

Heather Masters:

So true fulfillment comes from aligning with your authentic self and pursuing what genuinely resonates with your soul.

Heather Masters:

So really getting to the essence.

Heather Masters:

And when you focus on meaningful experiences and connections rather than just the the pure material gains, you create a life rich in joy and love and laughter and satisfaction.

Heather Masters:

Now, I'm not saying that we shouldn't accept the material gains, but it's looking at the depth of what's that material gain ultimately going to get me and those around me?

Heather Masters:

What am I going to use it for?

Heather Masters:

How am I going to use it for highest good?

Heather Masters:

How is it?

Heather Masters:

How is receiving it in alignment with what I want to achieve in the world in order to fulfill my path and my authentic destiny?

Heather Masters:

So you're always more powerful than you know.

Heather Masters:

I said this yesterday, and I think it's time right now, as we turn a corner in history, to really embrace your own power, your own authenticity, and to to own what you manifest in the world.

Heather Masters:

Because whether you're focused on manifesting what you want or not, you're always manifesting.

Heather Masters:
