We are here in the east village of New York City and I'm bringing you something different.

Not a normal Q&A Tuesday. We've got a very special interview so come on.

Marie: Are you only getting a fraction of what you want in your business and life? Are

the things that you're looking to achieve taking way too long to come your way? If so,

Gabby Bernstein may have your answer. In fact, she says that to manifest anything you want

in your business whether it's career goals, maybe it's relationships, your health, your

happiness, the real work is an inside job. I am so thrilled today to bring you my dear

friend and best selling author Miss Gabby Bernstein. Yay! Can you believe you're on

MarieTV?

Gabby: I know. I was like, it's like I'm on Oprah today!

Marie: Yay!

Gabby: It's just like being on Oprah.

Marie: This is awesome. So manifesting is such a cool topic. It's something that a lot

of people may have some resistance to. If they think it's like a little too woo-woo

and it's a little too passive and I know for me and my life, I am such a go-getting kind

of driven girl that in the past I used to have my own resistance to it but as I've become

older and a little more mature, I've opened my mind and I actually do consider myself

quite a good manifester. So for our audience, can you define what exactly is manifesting?

Gabby: Manifesting is acquiring the experience of what it is that you want to feel, and being,

and living and believing in that experience and then allowing that experience to come

into form.

Marie: So not only the experience like say wanting to go on a vacation but even if you

want something like a new MacBook Air, you can manifest a new computer [Gabby: Absolutely]

or being a published author or having your business reach a certain level. So everything

falls into that.

Gabby: Everything falls into that category. Sometimes we manifest things far beyond our

wildest dreams so sometimes if we have a vision of something it happens in a far greater way,

so we want to stay open so we can say I want that MacBook Air but maybe we can get that

MacBook Air that's a little bit bigger than we thought. Or maybe it comes with an extra

little gift. But allowing ourselves to be open, "this or something more."

Marie: Cool! So the way that I think about manifesting too, it's also involved in the

process of creation or creating. You know I consider myself an artist and a creator.

Do you see like a distinction between manifesting and creating?

Gabby: Manifesting is very creative. It is the process of using your power energy and

being in that presence of your high-powered energy and allowing that energy to co-create

with the energy that's around you. So you're vibrating at a high-frequency, I'm vibrating

at a high-frequency [Marie: Ooh, girl!], we've done a lot of work, we cleaned up a lot of

our own crap, we believe in ourselves today and that act that energy of believing in ourselves

has attracted us together today and brought us into this space where we together are co-creating

a teaching. If I hadn't cleaned up my side of street, if I hadn't believed in myself

the way I do, I would never have manifested being on MarieTV.

Marie: That's very true! So I know I like to always believe that I am co-creating with

the universe 'cuz I really believe there are no such things as coincidences and I've had

too many experiences in my life where I'm like, “Oh my God! That's what I wanted!”

and it all seemed to line up and it was incredible so that's really part of what we are talking

about here right is our ability to play an active role but almost paradoxically a passive

role in helping things that we want come into our life.

Gabby: Yeah, there's a really nice line from a Course in Miracles which is the metaphysical

text I teach and it is “Miracles occur naturally and when they are not occurring, something

has gone wrong.”

Marie: That's interesting!

Gabby: It's a good one right? So what happens is that synchronicity, that flow, that effortless

action that just sort of allowing, “Oh I was thinking about that and it just showed

up.” That is how life is supposed to be. We get in the way. Our negative belief systems,

our fears, our anxieties, our anger towards the past, that future tripping and projecting

– all of that energy gets in the way of allowing all of the miracles to occur naturally.

Marie: So, this is awesome. So what I like to do on MarieTV which you know cause I know

you watch us every week is to take this idea or concept and really break it down and make

it super actionable. So if someone's never heard of manifesting or maybe they have been

quite a skeptic and are like this is BS or this stuff doesn't work. Can you break it

down like how to manifest? Like what's the first thing that we should be doing?

Gabby: So the first step of manifestation is to get very very clear and you know if

we are not clear on what we desire we can call in some really funky stuff.

Marie: Yeah this is big and I want to interrupt you for a moment because one of the biggest

things that I say again and again when I'm working with clients, I can help you get anything

you want, but you have to tell me what that is.

Gabby: Yeah! That's it!

Marie: You know clarity is really it's that secret key.

Gabby: Because you are like a manifestation can opener. If somebody gets clear about what

they want.

Marie: That's really funny!

Gabby: That's your new name.

Marie: That's my new title. I'm a manifestation can opener. Yes, go for it.

Gabby: It's true because if somebody is clear about what they want, your work is just releasing

all the blocks and all the disbelief and so you're clear. First and foremost you must

be clear.

Marie: Yup!

Gabby: And you must be clear because if you are unclear you'll start to call in some things

that are not really what you want, you'll be confused. The other piece is that once

you're clear, you can also then get clear about all the ways that you don't believe.

All of the limiting beliefs, all of the negativity that might be blocking you.

Marie: Oh! This is good. Let's use an example. Let's take it from the top. So I know for

both of us, this is something we share. You're a published author, I’m a published author

and I know many people in the world it's one of their dreams to have their own book out

on the shelf. So I know you must have gotten clear at one point: I am gonna be a published

author, right? So clarity, step number one. Number two, getting clear on everything that's

preventing that, right? Your limiting beliefs. Tell us some of yours when you first had that

clarity.

Gabby: Well, I often joke that I was a published author three years before I was actually a

published author because I believed so deeply but of course there was disbelief and there

was actually a period in my life where it was right when the recession hit, my stepfather

says to me, I'm telling him all about my book that I wanted to bring into the world, and

he said to me, “Well, you know it's a really a tough time, it's gonna be really hard because

we've got resistors you know people just having a hard time in the realities of the world.”

And saying, "Oh well you're gonna have a hard time getting your book published" and I looked

at him with so much conviction and so much faith and I said, "I believe in miracles.

I believe I am a published author." One month later, my first book was published. So that

faithfulness, that belief system is what allows us to come into the reality that we live but

what we must understand is that I had done quite a significant amount of work to release

all of the limiting beliefs that I had been holding on to. A limiting belief and I have

8th grade English, I have never written anything beyond 8th grade. I had to teach myself how

to write. So the limiting belief which I am not a writer, I don't know how to write that

was a major one for me to overcome.

Marie: So this is great. So we have step one and step two and it's getting clear on what

you want and also having the courage to really look inside and see all the limiting beliefs

that can be holding you back from that, ok good.

Gabby: And clean them up!

Marie: And then clean them up! Ok, awesome! Tell me, so is that can that be as simple

as recognizing that it's a story you're telling yourself, it just simply doesn't have to be

the truth?

Gabby: Yes! The healing process of anything can just be the witnessing of okay that's

not working, that limiting belief that's holding me back and when we wake up to that call of

that's not working, that's when teachers like you come into our life. That's when books

fall off the shelf, that's when we land on MarieTV because we're tooling around Youtube.

Right? So we are led to what we need to heal so the first point is to recognize how you

are blocking yourself and trust that the universe will give you exactly what you need to heal

those limiting beliefs.

Marie: Awesome! Okay so we've got our two steps. Is there a third step? So now we are

in the process of healing our limiting beliefs. We're active, we're engaged, we're aware.

Gabby: We're getting into the know.

Marie: We're getting into the know. Ok, so step three, step three is getting into the

know.

Gabby: Know the universe has your back.

Marie: Love that!

Gabby: I think my mug says it. "The universe knows." Hehe.

Marie: Tell me more about what that means.

Gabby: Okay so ah.. What happens when we get into the know is that we have released, we're

working on releasing that disbelief and that's a daily process and the more we let go of

that disbelief, the more begin to acquire the presence of what it feels like to be in

that manifestation. So the same way I was saying I was a published author, I felt like

a published author years before I was a published author. I felt abundant even when I was scrapping

to get by. I still felt the presence of abundance which has allowed abundance to come into my

life.

Marie: And I think that's probably the hardest part for all of us. I can almost hear our

audience members again, we are in 188 countries around the world so some people are going

like "okay that all sounds cool but if I don't have any money right? If I don't have any

resources? If people don't believe in me." What can I do on a daily basis? Is it just

a matter of saying I really know this and just honestly, having that leap of faith and

saying I've got to stay in this state?

Gabby: You cannot let your outside world dictate your internal condition. The outside world

will reflect your internal condition so you are letting the outside stuff tell you I'm

not good enough then you are manifestation mishap. You are not allowing yourself to co-create.

Marie: So I'm gonna pause there just for a second. A manifestation mishap which you guys

know I love cute phrases for things. A manifestation mishap would be thinking like oh I'm having

this clarity. I want to be a published author but what would the mishap be there if there

were?

Gabby: Well, but my outside experience is not reflecting that. How am I gonna get published,

I don't have enough. All that is like really not supporting your desire. So, the most important

point here is to not let the outside world dictate your internal condition. Your internal

condition will support your external experiences. So your work is to focus on the internal and

I've done that in many cases in my life. You know picking up quarters to pay my gas money

and in the presence of not having a lot of money I still felt abundant. I did all that

work to release my disbelief and in that presence of believing in my abundance, I've allowed

a tremendous amount of abundance to come into my life so we gotta hold the energy and let

the outside world reflect that amazingness inside.

Marie: Okay, so another piece of resistance that could be coming towards us right now

from the audience, from someone saying, “Hey! You know what? I've manifested before or I'm

in this process but you know, it's taking a long time. I've been in the knowing, I'm

affirming but it just ain’t here yet.” What would you say to someone like that who

is just going like when is it gonna come? When is this really gonna happen?

Gabby: The most important step in the manifestation process is patience. And there is another

beautiful line from the Course in Miracles which is, "Those who are certain of the outcome

can afford to wait and wait without anxiety."

Marie: I freakin' love this and I'm gonna make her say it again because it was that

beautiful. Gabs, say it one more time.

Gabby: Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait and wait without anxiety.

Marie: Love that.

Gabby: So when we have that presence of being certain that certainty, I am a published author,

that man is on the way, I am abundant. When we have that certainty, we can allow, we can

be patient, we can be in the know. And another manifestation mishap when you are not patient

is that you are controlling, you're grasping, you're manipulating, and you are therefore

blocking the natural order. You are blocking the positive energy to flow towards you because

you are vibrating a frequency of negative energy because you are in fear, you are controlling

and manipulating.

Marie: Love that! So this is all really good stuff. Can you give us a quick recap? Again

our little manifesting how-to for anyone out there who this is all new to them.

Gabby: First is clarity. Become very clear of what it is that you desire so you don't

call in some crazy crap.

Marie: Love it!
