I Stopped Visualizing and Started Regulating My Body, Then Everything Changed. — Here’s an Easy Breathing Technique to Help You Regulate Your Body Whenever You Feel Anxious Tension.
My pulmonologist, trying to convince me to get a lung transplant, led me to the best manifestation practice I’d ever come across when visualizations just didn’t seem to work.
Carl Jung made the bold claim that imagination is God’s creative power given to man. He viewed imagination and fantasy not as idle daydreams, but as powerful psychological tools that connect the conscious mind to the unconscious.
Years ago, I took this claim literally, and made all sorts of attempts to imagine and visualize my desires with as much colorful detail as I could muster.
As I mentioned in my first article here, I had even created “mind movies” with clips and images, instrumentals, and affirmations that I’d watch daily to anchor my mind to my visions.
They made me feel pretty good, but they didn’t help me manifest anything consistently.
It all actually made me feel a bit insane.
Then, more so for health reasons, I began paying more attention to my body because I was working on reversing an autoimmune “condition” in my lungs, Sarcoidosis.
I say “condition” now, because I was told this “disease” was incurable, but I just couldn’t believe that.
And I firmly believed that whatever you believe will be, and whatever you don’t believe won’t, so I chose not to believe it was incurable.
I also believed that the body is the physical mind, which I learned through my meditation practices.
This made the Hermetic principle of Correspondence in the Kybalion hit home with more solidarity: As above, so below, and as within, so without.
On my health journey, specifically to heal my lungs, I couldn’t help but notice how, beyond my blood, my breath was like the glue holding all my bodily functions together.
My breath dictated everything from the pace of my heartbeat and inner body temperature to how efficiently I digested my food and how clearly I could see.
Depending on how constricted your airways are, your breath can even determine what you hear and what you can comprehend in a moment.
Regulating your body is directly connected to regulating your breathing, because your nervous system is intricately linked to your respiratory system.
How you breathe determines how calm or revved up your nervous system is.
On my journey to manifest success, I studied other successful people who’ve already manifested it for clues and found the one thing they all shared: a calm nervous system.
People of means and other successful people all have a nervous system built for their level of success and abundance.
They (at least) never seem worried or nervous about anything.
They all seem to have this unbothered “cool” about them that feels authentic, like they were born with it.
I’d learn later that this cool is the key to their success.
It’s like they’d gotten used to their great fortune before they achieved it, and lost all shock and astonishment at their accomplishments, pre-winning.
If you notice, almost no one with significant success is, or gets, excited about it.
It’s all very natural to them, as if they were born expecting it to be that way.
And this is actually the subtle key that opens the door to manifesting your next levels of success.
Regulating your body to manifest success means regulating your breath to stay deep and steadily paced.
As the saying goes, whether you’re religious or not, God doesn’t give you more than you can handle.
The only way to show and prove that you can handle something is by breathing slowly and deeply in the face of it.
Breathing calmly signals safety and security to your body.
The special thing is that you can practice this deeper breathing to learn how to handle anything and everything.
Your conscious breath control determines your altitude in life and how much success you can manifest at once.

So, for argument’s sake, you could literally prime your body to win a multi-million dollar lottery ticket at any time if you chose to focus on it, using simple breathing techniques.
Priming your body with your breath is how you prepare yourself to embody any manifestation you can imagine.
When you breathe into your desires, you prime your body to handle the weight of them materializing in your life.
All energy already exists in some form in some dimension.
When you manifest something, you’re crystallizing it into the physical world from the spiritual world of pure energy.
When we witness a magic trick, the sudden surprise or shock of a freak occurrence or appearance signals to our minds and bodies that something is abnormal.
Our egos can’t handle abnormalities well.
Our bodies can’t handle abnormalities.
Abnormal happenstances can actually drain you energetically because it takes time to wrap your mind around unexpected occurrences.
This is why we must regulate our bodies (and minds) to be primed for massive manifestations, because if we don’t prime ourselves for the friction of the moment, they simply won’t happen.
But when you regulate your breathing and prime your body for great success and significant manifestations, your systems can accept the incoming weight and experience with grace.
Regulating our bodies is literally regulating our physical minds.
As the Hermetic principle of Mentalism in the Kybalion states: The Mind is all, and all is in the Mind.
So when you regulate your mind from the inside out with conscious, deep, slow breathing, you have more control over what comes in and out of the mind and into your reality.
This is how we become consistent with conscious manifestations.
To go even further with this practice and make your manifestations feel more normal, turn them into memories instead of future endeavors.
You don’t get shocked about a memory.
Memories are ingrained in you, as part of you.
So a cheat code to manifest anything, and to help you regulate your breathing more easily, is to think of your manifestations as memories that you recall.
No one gets overly excited about a memory.
They’re just things that have happened, good, bad, or indifferent.
When you can hold your desires as memories, your breathing and heart rate stay steady and regular.
This is the state you must be in to manifest anything you can imagine.
A Simple Breathing Technique:
A solid tip for quick body regulation: whenever you think about a desire or any “extreme” condition that may align with your desires that makes your heart or body react, simply extend your exhale slowly to the max, pause, then slowly inhale, and consciously steady your breath through whatever thoughts or news you’re alerted to, until your breathing is baseline normal again.
This regulates your nervous system and primes it to receive “extremes.”
This also brings you back into your body so you can remember, I am not this body; I am that I am.
In this remembrance, release any and all tension from your body.
Close your eyes if necessary to ground yourself in your breath. This helps you embody who you’re shifting into being so you can manifest whatever it is you want.
Then, open your eyes if you closed them, and be ready to receive your dreams.
