What Can Chili Teach Us About Manifesting?

I love chili!  Especially in the fall when the air is chilly and my nose is just a little red from being outside.  As a chili connoisseur of sorts, I know that their is really bad chili, ok chili and mouth watering, truly amazing chili.  So what’s the difference? And what does that have to do with manifesting?

When you make chili you start with a recipe.  Then you tweak it with your own “secret ingredients,” do the prep work and put the chili on.  Then you wait.  And wait.  And wait.  Because everyone knows that really outstanding chili can’t be made in short order.  No….the flavors need time to meld together and create a masterpiece.

Manifesting is much the same way.  You start with a recipe, which is the manifesting process.  You decide what you want to manifest, tweaking your desire until it’s exactly as you want it.  Then you put your order in and you wait.  And a bit later presto – Masterpiece of Manifestation is created!

The thing about manifesting is that we often forget that waiting thing.  We want it and we want it now!  But in our linear reality, it often takes time for the manifestation to simmer to perfection.  In manifesting as with chili, it may seem like nothing is happening for a while.  But behind the scenes the Universe is working hard to combine the perfect blend of flavors, textures and aromas to deliver to you the most amazingly perfect manifestation ever!  So keep your eyes off that pot and leave the lid on until it’s finished.  You’ll be glad you did!
