Now, when you're

thinking about these questions, of which, as I said, there are quite a few, so I will include them in the show notes just so you can come back to them, either just to deepen your visualization or you might even want to do it as an extra journaling exercise for yourself afterwards.

But when you are thinking about them, I want you to be as specific as you can, specific to the point where it almost feels indulgent.

This is what I really want you to take from this is that I want you to give yourself permission to imagine beyond what currently feels realistic or familiar.

Because something that almost saddens me, I would say, is that when people come to me and they say, you know, I want to start a manifesting journey, what I recognize is that they don't even allow themselves to dream about or think about what they want because they're currently being limited by their own insecurities, doubts, or fears.

So what I really want you to do is set all of those worries aside and I want you to just allow yourself to at least imagine what you desire.

This is not the moment to edit your desires according to what you already think you know that you can achieve.

becoming.

So the, the-- I would love for you to explain, like, what does tests from the universe really mean?

So when I talk about the universe, I'm talking about, like, a greater power.

And to me, I believe in the power of energy.

Like, the, the whole universe is made up of energy, and I believe that it has this power.

For some people, the universe is God, okay? They believe in God as the greater power.

They might believe in a spiritual realm.

So use whatever works for you.

How do you feel making money off of manifestation?

W- but I'll, I'll use the term universe.

So I believe that when we are on our way to our goals, the universe will send us tests, and these tests are really there to ask us, "How worthy do you really think you are of receiving this thing that you want?" And tests can come in two forms.

How do you feel making money off of manifestation?

Oh, you were born in Saudi?

Yes.

Yeah.

And then, and I'm ...

Uh, both my parents are Iraqi, so my dad is from Mosul, and my mom is from Baghdad.

And you know, we moved to Oxford when I was six months old, so it's really all I know is growing up in the UK.

And yeah, I would say, you know, my mom is very devout Muslim.

What is it that you went through?

... to manifestation, until that point in life, like, how did you measure self-love, and w- what do you think shaped that to be so negative for you?

There was no such thing as self-love.

There was only self-loathing.

You know, I, I thought that I was just completely unlovable.

I thought I was the ugliest person to walk the earth.

I thought that everybody hated me.

I thought that I was a loser.

Mm

Roxy, did you ever feel you did something that you think would make you confident but then didn't make you feel confident in your own journey?

Yes.

Yes.

Um, many, many times.

So, (sighs) I have been on a very real and profound journey of my own confidence and...

Oh, I don't even know where to start with it really.

It's...

No, it makes a lot of sense.

I remember the first time I looked in the mirror when I was seven years old, and I remember it so distinctly, and looking and just thinking, "I am so ugly." Like really ugly, like monstrous.

No, no, this is a lot of sense

Can you give us an example of how we do that? Like, how do we almost manifest things not working out?

So I think, like, really simple examples are if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed.

You wake up in a really bad mood, and then you miss your train, and, you know, your meeting gets canceled, and you stub your toe or whatever it is.

We've all had those experiences and those days where we're kind of just operating at this low vibe.

We're in a bad mood, and then that's what's happening.

But there's also, I think, a deeper level where we, you know, so much is self-fulfilling prophecies.

So if we are constantly operating from this belief system that we aren't worthy, that we aren't enough, that we can't, you know, receive abundance, then we're going to change the way that we interpret and th- the meaning we attach to everything we experience.

Right.
