The 80:20 Rule of Manifestation
I’m always cautious to talk about manifestation because it’s such a subject that invites many contributors but this was a download and I’m committed to sharing any knowledge that I download.
I’m pretty good when it comes to manifesting results and I have some amazing manifestors around me as friends and clients, so I’ve had a lot of time seeing manifestation.
I’ve manifested dates using vision boards, I manifested an invitation to a party with Richard Branson and Chic, I’ve manifested work through just sitting down and meditating (literally the phone rang after finishing).
I’ve used a variety of different methods and often just contemplation. I’ve used Dr Joe Dispenza’s meditations, I’ve used vision boards, I’ve prayed to the universe and sometimes I’ve just spoken a wish out aloud and had it manifest. There are many methods that work. There are in fact 8 main paths to manifesting (which I’ll discuss another time)
While I don’t make it my focus, when I work with clients to create big results, I am also working to facilitate the manifestation or make life easier.
The first thing I do is check on the real world required effort but then I look at the energetics of the clients and their teams.
Action is important but action is only 20% of the manifestation equation
While taking aligned action is necessary, it’s just the tip of the iceberg. If you’ve been working hard but not seeing results, its time to look at the other 80%.
I got this download a couple of weeks ago when I was working with a client on manifesting customers.
“When it comes to manifestation and creation, the action that we take isn’t the whole thing - Action only forms about 20% of the final output.
Now, action is required—we do need to take the necessary steps—but if you just focused on effort and hard work alone, it would contribute only about 20% of the total effort.
For easy manifestations, action is enough especially if you have a system in place (like a business) that does the work anyway.
But when we’re looking at manifestations which are bigger or seem so out of this world. These require more alignment, we have to consider the other 80% of the formula.
Now thankfully most of us are unconsciously tapping into some of the 80% but when you have the formula you will get more consistent results.
So, what is the other 80%?
The biggest contributor is Power which comprises 45%
When we talk about power. This is not control or dominance. This is Energetic Power. The power of your energetic system. This is your Human Energy Field (HEF), your energy centres or chakras, the power of your being.
When your energy system is fragmented, blocked or leaking, your energy leaks like a dripping tap. Most people have blocks btw it’s just the nature of being human.
The key factors of power then are your mind and your emotions and your body
As an energy healer and coach, I see this all the time. Clients who do deep inner work often experience a surge in manifestation power—not because they work harder, but because they become energetically aligned. I see this time and time again.
During a coaching session we work on the energetics releasing limiting or subconscious beliefs, and emotional wounds and then after the session a sale comes through or they manifest meeting someone useful.
When you clear limiting beliefs, heal emotional wounds, and strengthen your field, your energetic power facilitates manifestation.
Birthright (20%)
When I got the download on this one I experienced this more as a feeling rather than words. Birthright is the best word I can use.
Birthright is the innate sense that you deserve to exist, thrive, and receive.
This isn’t about ego or entitlement. It’s about reconnecting with a natural state of being. If you look at animals in their natural habitat you’ll see they don’t question their right to exist. They simply are. They don’t feel insecure. They live fully in their bodies, are grounded in the present.
That’s the essence of birthright: “I’m here in the world. I have a right to exist.” You have a right to manifest whatever is within your power and whatever you desire.
The tricky thing is making sure this is an embodied state rather than something that’s purely an intellectual exercise.
So, what are the clues that you’re in your birthright?
You feel completely relaxed in your body; birthright is very much connected to the physical body. If you have a lot of tension or stress, it’s a sign that you are not fully in that state.
Many spiritual or sensitive people struggle with birthright as they often feel that they don’t belong on Earth. This usually relates to issues at the root chakra level or with the soul. On the other hand many wealthy or materialistic people have a strong sense of birthright and naturally manifest without believing in these concepts. Yet when I speak to wealthy people about this they understand this concept without having to study it.
So the key is Relaxation and embodiment. The more you feel at home in your body and in this world, the more effortlessly you manifest.
Joy & other elevated Emotions (15%)
Joy is probably the most talked about concept from manifestation gurus. Dr Joe Dispenza talks about elevated emotions (like gratitude, love, inspiration, or even peace) which is kinda the same thing.
I believe that Joy is an easier measure; gratitude can be triggering when people are told to be grateful for what they have; the definition of love can be confusing; inspiration can be fleeting and peace can be mistaken for comfort and escape. Joy is the most unambiguous emotion.
When you are in Joy you often forget about manifesting and it tends to happen more easily.
When you're in joy, your energy becomes expansive, radiant, and attractive. People are drawn to you. Opportunities seem to appear out of nowhere. You’re not forcing results—you’re receiving them.
What makes you feel Joy?
So, What Does This Mean for You?
If you want to manifest something big—whether it's love, abundance, a new home, or a thriving business—don’t just take action. Focus on:
Clearing blocks in your energy system – work with an energy healer. If you can’t do this take on a yoga practice
Reclaiming your birthright to receive – practice relaxation, walking in nature, tell yourself that it is in your birthright to receive.
Cultivating joy – remember what gives you joy and go do that
Go for a walk in nature. Meditate. Release tension from your body, Dance. Do the inner work. Because manifestation isn’t just about doing—it’s about being.
The more aligned, grounded, joyful, and powerful you are, the more the universe responds in kind.
