In this illuminating episode, Dawn Morningstar and Dr. Mary Newstrom unravel the truth about manifesting—what it really is and how to co-create with the natural world in a way that feels grounded, authentic, and powerful. Through humor, deep wisdom, and nature-based spiritual teachings, they explore how frequency, emotion, trust, and aligned action shape what we call in.
You’ll learn why rushing blocks your miracles, how clarity and belief open new pathways, and why grounding yourself in Mother Earth is essential for bringing dreams into form. With practical guidance, soulful reframes, and a beautiful affirmation practice, this episode invites you to stop chasing, start aligning, and let your energy call in what is already yours.
A gentle, empowering reminder that manifesting isn’t about forcing outcomes—it’s about becoming the version of you who can receive them.

Speaker 1
Welcome to the sisterhood, Your soul showed up for a reason.
Speaker 3
Welcome beautiful soul fire sisters.
Today we’re diving into something very alive for so many women right now, and for a long time actually.
We’ll be talking about manifesting what it really is and how to make it actually work in your life.
We’ll be bringing clarity, truth, humor, and a lot of heart to this topic.
Grounding Your Dreams: Manifesting with Mother Earth
That is so true and before we go deeper, let’s open our sacred space.
Wherever you are.
Take a deep breaths.
Just dropping those grounding cords.
Imagine your roots reaching deep, deep into the rich, deep soil of the earth.
Feel clarity rising up through those roots, meeting the spark inside your heart.
Speaker 3
What a beautiful way to begin, Mary.
Thank you so much.
And for those who might not know, I’ve heard you use the phrase dropping your grounding chords several times.
Can you tell us what that means?
Speaker 1
Just a means of imagining your roots coming out of your your feet or where you’re sitting and just imagining that they’re dropping, they’re going into the earth.
Speaker 3
I had a feeling that’s what it was, but I just wanted to make sure.
So let’s keep this discussion real.
Manifesting is not some cosmic vending machine where you push B7 and wait for a bag of abundance to drop.
But the universe does take energetic orders.
Speaker 1
Oh totally, and you know, I wish we could just push the B7 and get but maybe we’re going to talk about how we place those orders wisely and then how we add effort to get those.
Yes.
Now manifesting from a nature based lens such as shamanism is simply Co creating with the natural world, which we’re one of.
It’s not forcing, it’s not demanding, it’s aligning with the cycles and rhythms just like the cycles of the moon, the season, the tides.
When we plant a seed, we don’t yell at it for it to grow faster.
We honor it.
We might even talk to it.
Speaker 3
Yes.
Speaker 1
We water it, we trust that it’ll grow because it knows where it is in this universe.
What you feed grows, and that’s the ideal with thoughts and manifesting as well.
And if you don’t feed something, if you starve it, it shrinks, it contracts.
Speaker 3
It’s so true.
I remember hearing years ago in this same vein of discussion about manifestation, after farmers plant their fields, they don’t go out everyday, dig up the seeds to see, you know, how far it’s growing or how it’s growing.
And that visual always stuck with me, you know?
And so that leads me to this thought about manifestation and checking on things and not forcing things, but also playing our role in what we need to do in order for things to happen.
Align Your Frequency: Emotions as Manifestation Indicators
So about a week ago, one of our New World women founding mothers sent me a video of the Abraham teacher, the Teachings of Abraham.
It’s Jerry and Esther Hicks work, and I studied that very much.
It’s law of attraction work, really.
And I studied that in depth and really practiced it and still continue to practice it.
But I had forgotten how good that information is.
And so I listened to the video.
It was about 14 minutes long, and from the perspective of the Law of Attraction and the teachings of Abraham Hicks, manifesting is the art of aligning your frequency with what you desire.
I just think that is so important because your emotions are your vibrating vibrational indicators.
They tell you right away whether you’re in receiving mode or resistance mode.
High vibration emotions like joy, gratitude, calm, delight and a creativity signal?
I’m open.
Lower emotions like fear and frustration and doubt simply show us where alignment can soften and just not be effective.
I know in New World Women, Sean and I will not make any business decision or any decision of any kind for our woman’s organization unless we are in what we call a beautiful state.
Because we know if we’re making a decision out of frustration or fear or trying to get it done, that it’s not going to going to have the right energy and it’s not going to bring us what we are hoping for.
It’s, you know, said we want to send out those rockets of desire, as Jerry and Esther Hicks tell us, the teachings of Abraham tell us to do.
Speaker 1
Well, let’s go ahead and talk about that.
Speaker 3
Let’s talk about.
Speaker 1
Manifesting.
And so if you’re feeling stuck, if you’re feeling like you’re not creating what you would like, you might be feeling like you’re pushing up against the wind or you’re walking against it.
And that’s fine.
That maybe you’re trying to control that outcome instead of collaborating with spirit and nature never hurries things like right now, we’re in in a different season.
We’re, you know, the leaves have dropped.
We’re going more into a hibernation, but everything is going to get done in its own time.
And so we really want to align with what your vision is, with your emotions and your frequency and your energy, and then put that effort into it and work towards it, not working against it or rush.
Speaker 3
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some of the worst outcomes I’ve ever had were when I was rushing to get something done and not being present with whatever that was.
And, you know, and in regard to manifestation, if things aren’t showing up for us yet, it may not be divine denial.
It’s not like, you know, the universe is saying, no, you can’t have that.
It might be just that the timing isn’t right for something and sometimes the universe is like, girl, I’m still building that for you.
Sit tight, sit tight.
Trusting timing is a form of self-care.
Abraham Hicks teaches that resistance is what slows manifestation and alignment is what speeds it up.
And Mary, I’d love for us to at some point give an example of what that alignment looks like and feels like.
So we could maybe go through the the path 1st and then give an example of how this works.
Does that feel like a good idea?
Speaker 1
Worse.
Believe to See: Visioning Your Desired Reality
I mean, you really want to look at what is your, Your desire?
What do you want to clearly create?
And I talk about this with my students and work through the students of shamanic manifesting all the time.
And it’s really is we create a 3-4 year plan where you are visioning it as if it’s already been completed, if as already you’re living the life that you want to.
And so it just is calling in really the energy that you want so that you can be in alignment with the frequency of what you want to create as well.
So clarity is important.
Speaker 3
Hugely important, and the vision needs to be in full color.
We need to see it, feel it, breathe it, and be specific enough to inspire us, but spacious enough to invite magic to happen.
And I just want to be really, really clear because this is something that I know works, is when our frequency is in that higher realm, that is when to make the decisions.
That is when to send out those rockets of desire or those things that we want.
And the more that we stay in that higher vibration, the, the greater chance we have of aligning ourselves with that thing that we want, because we can’t create something new from an old energy or from a like a, a dense energy.
And belief creates energetic permission.
We have to, like a lot of people say, you know, you have to see it to, I have to see it to believe it.
I think it’s just the opposite.
I think I have to believe it to see it.
And you can’t receive what you don’t already believe is possible.
And so that’s where there’s little sneaky thoughts can come in.
Like we might say, you know, we might be doing the affirmation.
You know, I have this dream is happening and I’m seeing it and feeling it and touching it and tasting it and all of that.
But then we have that little niggling thing inside of us that says it’s like, well, not really or whatever.
So we have to be very, very conscious of what we are thinking and feeling.
Speaker 1
And it really it is, it’s a it is envisioning it as if it’s already created.
So I would encourage people to really visualize it or sense feel, smell, touch it as in as much detailed so you can really believe it, believe in the possibilities.
And then like I said, as if it’s already being lived as well.
And sometimes actually I take take my students on journeys where they actually talk to their future self that it’s already living that dream and get the feedback how they did it.
So it’s amazing.
It’s amazing.
And possibility opens those doors for other opportunities.
So remember what we our beliefs may be what we want to create, but maybe the universe has something even bigger.
So releasing it for the universe to create even bigger things.
Speaker 3
Yes, absolutely.
Duck Feathers & Reframes: Shifting Your Emotional State
So emotion is our energetic energy and it will help us grow what we are planting.
So think of it as maybe rain for the roots of what we are planting.
I mentioned this a lot and I think I’ve mentioned it a lot on this podcast.
You need to be firmly grounded.
You need to walk through your life grounded with nature, Mother Gaia, and that is meaning your energy, your emotions are vibration in the right vibration for what you want to create because you’re then nourishing your dreams with the right nutrients.
Speaker 3
I love that imagery.
That is really very beautiful.
Emotions are our frequency when we intentionally cultivate gratitude, joy, peace and confidence, then we tune into the vibration of our desire.
And we’re not only tuning into the vibration of what we want to have happen in our lives, we are also tuning into the vibration of living a happy life in the flow, You know, And so someone might be thinking, because I used to think this myself, well, what do I do?
If I’m having a challenging day or a difficult moment, what do I do?
Well, we become aware of that what we are feeling, we because the emotions are the frequency.
Let’s get that like really clear.
If we are in the emotion of fear, that is our frequency.
And So what do we do about it is we become aware of it first and foremost.
And Jerry and Esther Hicks in the teachings of Abraham, they suggest just doing a little slide of a movement.
We can’t sometimes go from fear to joy in one breath.
Sometimes we need a little help.
And So what they suggest is think of reach out for any thought or activity that will bring you a sense of joy and that can move you in that direction.
Like Mary was saying, sometimes it’s nature.
Now, here in Minnesota, it’s very cold and we’re have a lot of snow on the ground and I think more is on the way.
And so, yes, we can certainly bundle up and take walks.
And I have to be honest, I don’t do that as much this time of year as I do at other times of the year.
But I can tell you what I do.
What I do is I sit by my window and look out at that snow and those bare trees and the beautiful pattern they make against the sky.
And I sit with my cup of tea and sometimes I have a candle lit and that changes my mood and elevates my mood, I should say.
And so remembering that your emotions are your frequency is really important.
And the universe.
Speaker 1
I want to add one thing to that Dawn is they were talking about reframing and that is really at a situation that might be bringing you energetically if you’re frequently lower.
How do we reframe that?
And that Dawn had a lot of examples with that to raise those frequencies.
The other thing is when, when things are being thrown at you, you just want, you don’t want them to stick.
And so I, I use the word duck feathers.
You want them to roll off like duck feathers, water and rain roll off ducks.
That’s how they stay dry and they can float roll off.
And that’s what you ultimately want to do with any negativity or negative thoughts as you want them to roll off and then reframe it with what?
What’s another way of looking at this?
What’s another way that I can look at this situation which is going to raise your frequency?
Speaker 3
Absolutely, Really, really great, Mary.
Thank you for adding that.
And I also want to add that it’s vitally important that we take a moment to feel what we need to feel about a situation to otherwise we can get into that bypass situation.
And if we don’t acknowledge an emotion that we’re having, even for a short time, if we don’t do that, then it will come out sideways.
It will definitely come out sideways.
Don’t Micromanage: Action, Trust, and 5D Energy
So, you know, this whole idea of manifestation is that the universe responds to movement, not stasis.
If we’re stuck, then nothing can happen.
Even a small step signals readiness to the universe.
Speaker 1
Yeah, and spirit, spirit is looking for effort.
They’re the, the energy of the universe, higher power, divine spirit.
They will meet you halfway when they see your actions aligning with your intentions and you’re making the effort.
And so I, I, you know, I like to mention that no, we’re not going to be perfect all the time.
Maybe it’s not going to be 100% in alignment, but you’re going to have effort.
And then you’re going to, if you do do slide off and do something that’s not in alignment, you’re going to get up and realign yourself through a reframe or duck feathers or something that’s going to help you take that action because we need action to create and manifest.
Speaker 3
Absolutely we do.
Yeah, I mean wishing.
Wishing helps us, but wishing also needs action.
Speaker 1
That’s true.
And you know what, once we also align that send out that that vision to the universe through a maybe a visualization, then we’re putting effort into it.
If we come across some struggles for reframing or doing our duck, duck feathers, we’re also letting it grow, letting it percolate.
Things need time to grow and to develop, and that gives us also the opportunity to work even harder for the the creation of what we want to manifest.
Speaker 3
No question about it.
And so I think the, you know, one of the messages here is not to micromanage your miracles.
Alignment plus trust equals flow.
And that’s what we want to do, is we want to stay in the flow of life as much as we possibly can.
So maybe think about it right now.
Have you had a day or a series of days in your life or many days that you can remember where things just all seem to be fitting together and you know, one wonderful little synchronicities and miracles are showing up.
Those are days where you’re in the flow.
And So what we’re really all working toward, those of us on this path of higher consciousness and spirituality, is we really are on that path of living in the flow rather than being in resistance.
So common pitfalls are over planning and over controlling.
And I would also add analysis paralysis.
That’s where, oh, I need to take another class before I do this thing or I need this certification before I do this thing.
And, you know, doubting under the disguise of being realistic.
If anybody tells you to be realistic, just ask yourself whose reality are they talking about?
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah, yeah.
No, I, I, I those are the Debbie Downers that I’ve had do the duck feathers for and let things roll off when the Debbie Downers are coming, the naysayers be realistic.
That’s a that’s a good way that those are individuals that don’t dream big.
They’re not the movers and shakers.
And we’re, we are, we’re big thinkers and we’re encouraging everyone here to be a big thinker with what you.
Speaker 4
Want How do you want to be in the world?
How do you what do?
Speaker 1
You want to create in the world and so on and you want to work with spirit and because you’re everything is manifested through our connection with Earth, Mother Gaia and the our higher being in spirit.
Speaker 3
Yes, and another thing we have going for us in the manifestation field right now are the manifestation world is that our own planet is moving in the direction of 5th dimensional energy.
What that means is all of this that we are talking about will be much easier for us in this newer dimension.
Doesn’t mean we have to wait, because part of the way of bringing that in is by doing it now.
And so that is something that is very encouraging to me.
Many thought leaders and people I trust are saying that 2026, we’re here, we are in, you know, anyway, toward the end of 2025 and in 2026, we are going to see some extraordinary miracles, wonderful things.
The old is crumbling.
That’s not so much fun.
But what is being created that is extraordinary and it will benefit all of us in such beautiful ways.
Just keep your frequency high, yes?
Speaker 1
Yes, work on your frequency, work on reframing anything that’s coming at you that’s negative, and do the duck feathers for the negative naysayers.
Speaker 3
And you, you can’t really spreadsheet your destiny.
Manifesting works best when it’s rooted in trust and guided by alignment.
Not perfection, then perfection.
We should do a whole episode on perfection, Mary.
Grounding Practice: Attracting What Is Already Yours
So let’s move into a grounding exercise.
You’ve heard me talk about this already many times in this podcast and other ones where we want to be grounded in our.
Speaker 3
Body and.
Speaker 1
Let’s just kind of feel that energy.
So if you’re in a space that you can do this, if you’re driving, please don’t do this.
You can wait till afterwards.
But if able to place your hand on your heart, feeling the beating of the heart, that beat is the the heartbeat of Mother Gaia as well.
Mother Earth, breathe in possibility, and as you exhale, exhale resistance.
Things that are no longer serving you, no longer needed.
Breathe in possibility, exhale resistance and things no longer serving you.
Once again, feel your roots Deeping into the earth, into Mother Gaia, and becoming one with her.
Speaker 3
You can whisper this to yourself.
I don’t chase, I attract my energy calls in what is already mine.
Feel that truth vibrate gently in your chest.
I don’t chase, I attract my energy calls in what is already mine.
Speaker 1
May your manifestations bloom in rhythm with nature, patient, rooted, and alive.
Speaker 3
And always remember soul fire sisters, you’re not just manifesting things and experiences, you’re manifesting yourself.
Your.
