Hello and welcome to today's episode

0:03

of the manifest podcast. My name

0:05

is Sarah Proust. I'm a best-selling

0:07

author. In fact one of my

0:09

most well-known books is called Dear

0:11

Universe. 200 mini

0:13

meditations for instant manifestations.

0:16

And that book still sells like hotcakes.

0:18

It sells hundreds of copies every couple

0:20

of weeks which is kind of mind-boggling

0:22

considering that it's five years old already.

0:25

There have been I think it's a hundred and fifty

0:27

thousand books now that have sold internationally

0:30

and it has been

0:32

translated into at least ten languages.

0:34

I've also got another book called

0:37

Be the Love which was more

0:39

of an autobiographical deeply personal book.

0:42

And the next book that I'm working

0:44

on I can't tell you the title

0:46

yet but what I will say is

0:48

that this book will support you each

0:50

and every day to feel inspired and

0:52

uplifted and connected to the magic of

0:55

the universe. So if you are new

0:57

around here welcome in. If you are

0:59

somebody that has listened to me over

1:01

the last six or seven years I am

1:03

so grateful for the community that always

1:06

shows up with a sense

1:08

of curiosity and intrigue if

1:10

you will about all things

1:12

to do with manifestation and metaphysics

1:15

and spirituality. So the

1:18

way that this show works if you are

1:22

new here or if you've listened

1:24

to me for a little while now

1:26

you know that I only show up

1:28

behind the microphone when I feel inspired

1:30

to do so and there's a reason

1:32

for this. It's because I need to

1:34

show up when I feel clear and

1:36

the transmission is ready to come through

1:39

and so more often than not I'm

1:41

in the midst of doing something else

1:43

whether it's like folding laundry or cleaning

1:45

the house or responding to

1:47

emails or connecting with my clients and

1:49

there's an idea that lands an

1:51

inspired idea it's like this what

1:54

I call like a sacred trigger and I

1:56

know that it's time okay Sarah fire

1:58

up the computer which is usually already

2:00

on and plug in

2:02

the microphone and share from my heart

2:05

what's going on, what I know will

2:07

help this community, this audience, the most

2:09

at this specific point in time. Now,

2:13

I'm recording this today on July the 10th, 2024. So

2:16

it's day three of the

2:18

five day manifestation challenge that I've

2:20

been hosting. And there were well over a thousand people.

2:23

I think it was 1500 people

2:25

registered for this event. It was really

2:28

to kickstart and launch the Dear Universe

2:30

community that's hosted over on school. And

2:32

I'll leave a link in the podcast

2:34

description here so you can join. It

2:37

is free for only the next week.

2:39

And then I am going to turn

2:41

it into a paid community. So

2:44

everybody that gets in this week

2:46

that's already in there gets grandfathered

2:48

in for free. That's a lifetime,

2:50

you've got your place. You can

2:52

really enjoy the benefits of

2:54

this incredible community. But if not, then

2:56

I can highly recommend that you pay

2:59

and invest in the

3:01

small monthly amount to be part

3:03

of this incredibly uplifting

3:05

and inspiring community. I'm telling you, the

3:07

stories that are coming through from these

3:09

incredible humans, and we have men with,

3:12

there's women, there's like people from all

3:14

walks of life sharing their

3:16

journey thus far on the manifestation journey.

3:18

There are people that are setting powerful

3:21

intentions. I created this section where people

3:23

can put out energetic support requests. So

3:25

if you're going through a tough time,

3:28

you know that there's like thousands of

3:30

people in there that can help support

3:32

you through whatever difficult season you're traveling

3:35

through. So you just never feel alone.

3:37

And this is really important. And this is

3:40

the reason why I have loved developing communities

3:42

over the last 15 years

3:44

online, is because you will

3:46

meet some of the best friends that will

3:48

travel through different seasons of your life that

3:51

are there to celebrate your success, are there

3:53

to support you through no matter what you're

3:55

going through. We are human beings. We all

3:57

go through different ups downs, highs and lows,

4:00

ebbs and flows. And I know I'm sounding

4:02

like a Dr. Seuss book right now, but

4:05

the point is to really

4:08

communicate the importance of community

4:10

and connection because you cannot

4:12

expect to do this alone.

4:15

Life isn't supposed to be shared. Life

4:17

is supposed to be a point

4:19

of connection and reference to the divine

4:21

that works through us in all situations.

4:25

So that brings me to today's topic

4:28

for those of you that are wanting to manifest

4:30

at a more accelerated path

4:33

or pace, if you will. So

4:35

decluttering and clearing space. Now I've spoken

4:37

about this a great length before. I

4:39

have a course on this as well

4:42

inside my manifestation academy. And

4:44

it is, and I kid you not, this is

4:46

one of the fastest ways if you want to

4:48

get the energy moving in your reality to start

4:51

to change the results that the

4:53

universe delivers for you to appreciate.

4:57

So it's just a reminder that in

5:00

our fast paced and often cluttered world,

5:03

clearing space is more than just

5:05

a physical act. It's

5:07

a powerful practice for not only rejuvenating

5:10

your mind, your body and your spirit,

5:12

but by removing what no longer serves

5:14

you, you create and

5:16

you make room for new opportunities,

5:19

new energies and new experiences to

5:21

enter into your life. So

5:24

today's episode is really a guide to

5:26

help you clear that space energetically across

5:28

various aspects of your life, such

5:30

as your environment, your beliefs, even your

5:33

body and your relationships. So

5:36

the reason I'm doing this is because

5:38

over the years historically, and this is

5:41

me being very, very,

5:43

very raw and vulnerable with you,

5:45

that I kind of am on

5:47

like this yo-yo experience between chaos

5:50

and calm, energetically,

5:52

physically, spiritually, mentally. It has been

5:54

the way that

5:56

I have navigated

5:59

life. And so there's like this

6:01

curiosity point of can I get a more

6:04

consistent steady season

6:07

of calm rather than chaos and there's a way

6:09

to do that. And it's about

6:11

decluttering because I've often said that like

6:13

a cluttered desk for instance is

6:16

very indicative of a cluttered

6:18

mind. And it's it's so true

6:20

like if your refrigerator is crammed full of

6:22

stuff and you don't know where to find

6:24

anything it creates mental overwhelm. It

6:27

means that you have this time to

6:29

visually process where something is right. I was

6:32

looking for a jar of peanut butter the

6:34

other day and I'm not sure

6:36

why it was in the fridge but it was like right in the back.

6:38

I don't even know how it got there. It was probably one of the

6:40

kids but I

6:42

was thinking I need to empty out

6:45

this refrigerator and stack things so I

6:47

can see it visually so it's on

6:49

display. So it reduces the overwhelm because

6:51

as a busy mother of four even

6:53

though I have only two children in

6:55

my care right now my my two

6:57

oldest kids are adults. I

6:59

still identify as a mother of four that's never going

7:01

away. Oh I've got two

7:03

dogs so two dogs two kids. I

7:06

need to maximize my time as much

7:08

as possible because every moment that I

7:10

am you know

7:12

standing in front of the refrigerator with like

7:14

a very blank look on my face thinking

7:17

what am I looking for which also

7:19

happens sometimes. It's like I

7:22

could be spending that time with my kids. I could

7:24

be spending that time going for a walk

7:26

to the beach or I could be you know

7:29

investing more time in creating courses

7:31

and programs and really inspiring material

7:33

for my upcoming book or I

7:35

could be you know attracting more

7:38

incredible clients into my

7:40

orbit. So it really

7:42

becomes a matter of prioritizing what

7:44

you declutter and why because you

7:46

understand that the end result is

7:49

the manifestation of spaciousness and

7:51

there is something beautifully magnetic

7:53

about creating spaciousness. In

7:55

fact it activates something called the law of

7:58

vacuum and this is a unit.

8:00

universal law that when activated means that

8:02

if you create the space the universe will fill

8:04

it up with something of equal

8:06

measure to occupy that space.

8:09

But then you have to pay attention

8:11

to the energetics around that, the frequency

8:13

around that. So I

8:15

always say to start with your immediate

8:17

surroundings because a cluttered environment, and I'll

8:20

say this again, a cluttered

8:22

environment can really lead to a cluttered

8:24

mind. And so by

8:27

really beginning and organizing and discarding items

8:30

that you no longer need or use,

8:33

you process your

8:36

emotions at a better pace,

8:39

if that makes sense. And this not only

8:41

frees up the physical space, but it also

8:44

releases stagnant energy, creating more

8:47

harmony in your living areas. And I

8:49

spoke of this yesterday in

8:51

the manifestation challenge where I

8:53

brought attention to the ways in which the

8:55

stagnant energy tends to create density in the

8:57

energy. And so the more free flowing we

9:00

can be in the different areas of our

9:02

home, for instance, the more

9:04

it allows

9:06

more flow in our lives to

9:09

welcome in those new people,

9:11

places, things, and experiences. And

9:14

I'll just leave it for that right now

9:16

as we go to a message from today's

9:18

podcast sponsor. Here's an interesting

9:20

fact that you may want to consider that

9:23

Americans take about 20,000 breaths

9:25

a day and spend an average of 90% of

9:28

their time indoors. The indoor air that

9:30

we breathe can be up to 100 times

9:32

more polluted than outdoor air, according

9:35

to the EPA. Indoor

9:37

air pollutants can cause respiratory symptoms

9:39

like sneezing, congestion, scratchy throat, and

9:42

even more serious health problems like

9:44

lung and heart disease. So

9:48

10:37

so once you have cleared

10:40

out your refrigerator, your closet,

10:42

under your couch cushions, those

10:44

bathroom cabinets, the

10:47

cupboard under the stairs that's full of

10:49

old sport equipment and mismatched

10:52

odd socks or stinky old sneakers that you

10:54

don't use, once you have

10:57

created spaciousness in

10:59

these places that, you

11:01

know, often gather with stagnation, you can either donate

11:04

the stuff that you don't need anymore, which is

11:06

a great thing to do. You

11:08

can sell it if you want to generate

11:10

some quick cash flow. And that's, that's always

11:12

something that has fascinated me. I remember the,

11:15

uh, what's his name? Gary Vaynerchuk. I don't

11:17

know why it took me so long to

11:19

get to that. He is one of the

11:21

old school Twitter people that I connected with

11:23

back in 2008. Gary and I used

11:26

to chat and this was when he was doing, I

11:28

believe it was like Wine Library TV and

11:30

he was using social media to generate business.

11:32

He was one of the first adopters of

11:34

Twitter and he was one of the, I

11:37

mean, we went on very different growth paths,

11:39

but I was also one of the early

11:41

adopters on social media. I had 20,000 followers

11:43

back then and I don't

11:45

really pay attention to that platform that much anymore.

11:48

But, um, the reason I mentioned Gary is

11:50

because I remember watching a video of him

11:52

a few years ago and he said that

11:54

the average person, and

11:56

I'm not sure how he is measuring the

11:58

metric of average, but he said, that the

12:00

average person has around $10,000 worth

12:03

of useless stuff in their house that

12:05

they could sell now. So

12:08

really examining what's not useful anymore,

12:10

what's not serving you and can

12:13

that serve somebody else as

12:15

a treasure, as something they've

12:17

been looking for. So putting your stuff

12:19

on Facebook Marketplace or eBay or Poshmark

12:22

or any of those avenues just to

12:24

generate that quick cash and that's moving

12:26

the energy. Remember, energy needs

12:28

to move and so the

12:31

more you're doing this in the decluttering

12:33

process the better it will be. So

12:35

you also want to cleanse with intent. So

12:39

cleansing your space energetically

12:41

is really important

12:43

and you can use something like sage

12:45

or ethically sourced

12:48

palo santo or I love essential

12:50

oils. You guys know I love

12:52

essential oils. You can

12:54

do what is known as smudging your

12:56

home. So set an intention to release

12:58

the negative energy and invite

13:00

positive energy, harmonious energy.

13:04

And you can even use sound healing

13:06

or bells or singing

13:08

bowls or ways that

13:10

you can use high frequency music

13:13

or energetics that have a specific

13:15

frequency to truly

13:18

get into the walls of your home

13:21

and create that beautiful, peaceful, inviting

13:24

environment for creativity, joy, love

13:27

and abundance. And

13:29

then you create those sacred spaces

13:31

within your home, a place for

13:33

relaxation, meditation or creativity. And these

13:35

sacred spaces act as sanctuaries, if

13:37

you will, where you can recharge

13:40

and connect not only with your

13:42

inner self but with the

13:44

universe. So it's a

13:46

beautiful opportunity to declutter

13:48

and realize the bigger picture at play

13:50

is to free up the energy along

13:52

the way. So the other thing that

13:55

you want to pay attention to here

13:57

is decluttering and examining changing

14:01

and clearing space in your belief system. So

14:03

one of the things that I talk

14:06

about a lot, especially on this show,

14:08

is identifying limiting beliefs, because we all

14:10

carry beliefs that limit our potential. And

14:12

so when you identify these beliefs by

14:15

paying attention to negative self talk and

14:17

reoccurring patterns in your life, write

14:19

them down if you want to and bring them

14:22

into the light of awareness.

14:25

Right, this is this is really powerful

14:27

work. So if you write it down,

14:29

it kind of identifies those key pieces

14:31

that tend to sabotage your success or

14:33

the ways in which you get in

14:35

your own way. And then you can

14:37

do something called reframe and release. And

14:40

this will help you to challenge

14:42

these limiting beliefs by reframing them

14:45

into positive affirmations. For

14:47

example, changing something like I'm not good

14:49

enough to I am worthy and capable

14:51

of achieving my goals. In fact, in

14:53

one of my one on

14:55

one manifestation sessions today, it

14:58

was about confidence

15:00

and embodying confidence. So I gave

15:02

her the affirmation of dear

15:05

universe, I am now

15:07

confident in my ability to be

15:10

in all and every

15:12

situations with clarity and

15:14

stillness and peace. And

15:17

so it's really about asking the universe for

15:19

help and then claiming that affirmation as if

15:21

you are the true embodiment of it right

15:24

now in this moment, that nothing has to

15:26

change and all is well. So

15:29

one of the fastest ways to work

15:31

with this energy is to embrace a

15:33

growth mindset. So adopting

15:36

a growth mindset, and

15:39

viewing the challenges as they arise, because

15:41

we know that they all do as

15:43

opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. This,

15:45

this invites a shift in perspective that

15:47

can clear the mental blocks and open

15:49

them up, open them up for what's

15:52

the word I'm looking for new

15:54

pathways for personal development. So

15:57

you can have the belief that no one ever changes

15:59

and a lot of people are looking a leopard cannot

16:01

change its spots. And people are

16:03

just who they are. You are who you are and

16:05

that's never gonna change. But

16:07

what if it can? So

16:11

from a scientific perspective, there's

16:14

this thing in our brains

16:16

called neuroplasticity. So our brains

16:18

are literally remapping and rewiring

16:21

all the time. And I know some

16:24

incredible people who have on

16:27

many levels retrained their brains

16:29

despite some pretty dismal

16:33

diagnostic results to say that they would

16:35

never return to a former

16:37

state. And so, I mean, I've

16:40

seen this with friends, with family, with people

16:42

that were told that they could never achieve

16:44

certain things and yet they are doing it

16:46

now. Many of my clients are

16:49

people that have gone through extreme adversity

16:51

to now run their own business and grow

16:54

their own brand. And yet they

16:57

have faced extreme challenges in their

16:59

life. But the only thing,

17:01

the determining factor is that they embrace

17:03

a growth mindset and they can move

17:05

through it. So when you identify these

17:07

limiting beliefs in these blocks, it's like

17:09

weeding a garden, pulling the weeds out

17:12

of the garden, out of your

17:14

mind garden, if you will. And

17:16

so that really is that beautiful

17:18

opportunity to rise above it. And

17:20

then the last, well,

17:23

actually the second last point that I

17:25

wanna make here is clearing space in

17:27

your body. Because, I mean,

17:30

we live in a society

17:32

right now where food is

17:34

not real food. And it's

17:37

heavily processed. And when

17:39

I got my eyes checked at the optometrist, I think it

17:42

was about a month ago now, and

17:44

the optometrist said to

17:47

me, people know that

17:49

their eyesight needs checking when they kind of

17:51

have to squint to read ingredients on the

17:53

side of the box because there is this

17:55

movement of awareness now where many

17:57

of us are checking what the ingredients

17:59

are. in packet mixtures

18:01

of pancake mix and is the

18:04

first ingredient sugar or what

18:07

are the nutrient values in this? And I think

18:09

that that's wonderful. So focusing

18:11

on detoxing and nourishing your body

18:14

is imperative. So

18:17

as you know, our bodies

18:19

accumulate toxins from food, from

18:22

environmental factors, from stress. And

18:24

so considering a gentle detox to cleanse

18:27

your system can really help. So by

18:29

drinking lots of water, eating whole foods

18:31

and incorporating herbs and supplements, or herbs

18:33

for my American friends out there that,

18:38

I whisper funny saying words that I know that Americans

18:40

don't say just in case it does get lost in

18:42

translation. But there are certain

18:44

supplements and herbs that can support

18:46

that detoxification process. And then of

18:49

course, movement of your body, regular

18:51

physical activity that helps you to

18:53

release the stagnant energy, getting

18:55

that flow of energy happening. If you're just sitting

18:58

around waiting to manifest, you're not going to, because

19:01

the universe wants you to move within whatever

19:03

you're capable of doing within the body that

19:05

you have. And then

19:07

drinking plenty of water, hydrating those

19:09

cells, eating whole foods and

19:12

doing things like yoga or dancing

19:14

or dare I say hiking, make

19:17

it a regular part of your routine and your

19:20

daily list of things that you love to do.

19:23

And then of course, practicing mindfulness

19:25

and relaxation and doing things

19:27

like deep breathing or

19:30

just being aware that you can clear the

19:32

mental clutter and promote a sense of calm

19:35

and clarity. And then the

19:39

last thing that I want to add

19:41

here for clearing space is relationships. Now,

19:44

this one is probably one that requires

19:46

a much larger discussion. And I could

19:49

probably dedicate the next 100 or so

19:51

episodes to clearing space in relationships, whether

19:53

it's with a spouse, whether it's in

19:56

a divine union, whether it is in

19:58

a friendship, a family.

20:00

family dynamic, an office situation,

20:02

whatever it is, it's so important to

20:05

evaluate the relationships in your life and

20:07

identify those that uplift you and support

20:09

you as well as those

20:12

that tend to bring

20:14

you the awareness that you're draining your energy

20:16

or causing you stress. And

20:18

so the way to remedy that in

20:20

terms of clearing the space is to

20:22

set boundaries and establish healthy boundaries with

20:24

people who may be, dare

20:27

I say, toxic or overly demanding

20:30

but the remedy is really easy.

20:32

You just communicate your needs clearly

20:34

and assertively to ensure

20:36

that your relationships are not only

20:39

balanced but respectful. And

20:41

so the name

20:43

of the game here is to cultivate

20:45

positive connections and focus on

20:48

nurturing relationships that bring you joy

20:50

and support and positivity and love

20:52

and excitement for the future and

20:54

surround yourself with people who truly

20:57

inspire you and align

20:59

with those values because

21:01

in conclusion here, clearing space energetically

21:04

is really a holistic process

21:07

and it involves not only decluttering

21:09

your physical environment but challenging your

21:12

limiting beliefs so that you can

21:14

want more for yourself and caring

21:16

for that beautiful body you have

21:18

and nurturing these incredibly amazing healthy

21:20

relationships. So by taking these steps

21:23

you create a more balanced and

21:25

harmonious life that makes room for

21:27

new opportunities and positive energy to

21:29

flow more freely and to manifest

21:31

into your life. And so

21:34

that's when you can begin to manifest at

21:36

a more accelerated, amplified, upleveled

21:38

pace and as long

21:41

as you don't see this as a lot of work, I

21:44

think that things will go very, very smoothly.

21:46

As soon as it feels like it's a

21:48

chore or it's bothersome, stop and

21:50

feel until you feel aligned and then

21:52

only take action when you feel aligned

21:54

because that will be a huge distinction

21:57

between creating with intention.

22:00

versus creating just because you think you're doing

22:02

the right thing to get the results. You

22:05

need to be giving without expectation and

22:07

this is where the magic of

22:09

manifested manifesting is activated within your

22:11

body, your mind and your spirit.

22:15

So I will leave you with that for today.

22:17

Once again I only have, if you

22:19

are listening to this, in mid-July I

22:22

only have a few spaces left for

22:24

the one-on-one manifestation sessions this month. I

22:26

may be shutting it down just for

22:28

next month because I still want to

22:30

really focus on my book I've got

22:32

until October to get the manuscript done.

22:35

So I want to make

22:37

sure that I pay attention and focus my

22:39

energy on the clients that are really showing

22:41

up that need some manifestation support right now.

22:44

So if that's you, click on the link,

22:46

book your session with me. It's half an

22:48

hour and I promise you it will be

22:50

worth the investment because people are loving these

22:52

sessions. They're walking away from them with that

22:54

up lifted energy of

22:57

possibility and hopefulness. So whatever it is

22:59

we can have a private conversation and

23:01

I can support you whether it is

23:04

concerns over your relationship or if you want to

23:06

manifest the love of your life or you want

23:09

to manifest a family or a career

23:11

change or financial freedom. This is what

23:13

is in my expert wheelhouse over here

23:15

so I'm happy to help in any

23:17

way that I can. Okay

23:19

thank you so much for being here with me today.

23:21

Once again I love you. Thank

23:23

you so much for being here as part

23:25

of my community and I look forward to

23:27

connecting with you for another episode of the

23:30

manifest podcast. Lots of love and bye for

23:32

now.
