Manifest: Dive Deeper: The No 5 Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

With the New Year upon us, Nafousi says one of the biggest rules for manifesting in 2023 is to learn to say 'no'. 'Saying "no" is empowering, liberating and it frees up so much time and energy for us. It’s a big part of Step 4: Overcoming Tests from the Universe. Get into the practice of saying "no" to things that don’t align with your future self or that don’t serve your best interests! I promise it gets easier the more you do it!' Despite all that, I love her ways of talking about emotion and comparison in step six. As we always live in a culture of comparison, envy/jealousy must be something that takes a toll on us. Dealing with hostile emotions is a process for us to learn to validate those feelings so that they won't negatively impact our manifesting process. Although step six just sounds verbal with no practical practice, it does pique my attention with her inspiring words. During the research for her second book, Nafaousi says she was surprised when people would tell her: 'I’ve been having a really bad week and I’m really worried I’m ruining my manifesting journal'. I really loved the first book as it changed my entire perception about a word and concept I thought was “woo woo” for years.

Some of the practices I recommend which help to raise my vibration are yoga, meditation, exercise, a plant-based diet, surrounding myself with positive and inspiring people, sleeping and waking early with eight hours of sleep, listening to self-development podcasts, journaling and practicing gratitude.’ I did love parts of this book, don’t get me wrong and I love love love the author and she was someone I wrote down in my “5 people who inspire you” list, I just wish this book dove deeper into the science behind manifestation whilst weaving in the 7 steps.

Be grateful for what you already have and grateful for what other beautiful blessings are to come.’ With that all being said, if you are a beginner to self development you’ll love this book as it does make it very simple and broken down for you, however if you’re someone who understands gratitude, how to connect your behaviours to your thoughts / actions and vice versa, has awareness over the things that drive your choices etc etc this book may not fully resonate. If you want to attract money into your life but you have negative emotions and limiting beliefs surrounding money, then you’re actually preventing it from coming into your life. The same goes for love, success or anything else that you would like to manifest.' . If you're one who needs practical exercise to power up your manifesting approach, you might love to go bottomless with this. As you know, manifest is about attracting things and visualizing something in your life. However, the author emphasizes the things that you 'attract' should make your life feel content and fulfilled. One of the biggest problems surrounding manifesting is people believing that it’s a passive process ‘or that visualising one’s dreams is enough’ to see change, says Nafousi. For example, by constantly telling the universe you want a new car, you’re not miraculously going to find a shiny Ferrari on your driveway without doing some practical work to achieve that goal. ‘There is no substitute for hard work!’ she adds.

Each chapter is filled with exercises that are designed to cultivate self-awareness, reflection and growth, and therefore empower and enhance your manifesting process. Each chapter is filled with simple and inspiring exercises designed to cultivate self-awareness, reflection and growth, empowering your manifesting process even more.

It follows the same seven-steps as Manifest, but approaches them from a more introspective angle, and provides more exercises, advice, and personal anecdotes from Nafousi's own manifesting journey.' - COSMOPOLITAN

McMahon agrees, noting that with an open mindset, we tend to be receptive to new experiences, doing new things, and believe that we can improve and develop. Positive thinking does have it perks, like giving someone reassurance or confidence, but she wants individuals to remember that manifesting is less about ‘thinking positively’, rather being open to new avenues.

Put in whatever work you can from your side to move you closer towards your goal, and leave the rest to the universe.’ An empowering and clear read, filled with helpful exercises, the book explores everything from your inner child to daily rituals, stepping outside your comfort zone and how to stop caring about what people think' VOGUE

Nafousi agrees, noting that you must try to reset how you feel and think about yourself. ‘We manifest not from our thoughts, but from our beliefs about what we are worthy of which means that self-love is the driving force behind manifesting,’ she says. ‘To attract anything into your life, you must first believe you are worthy of having it.’ I love the approach as it contains simplicity and is broken down for you but I've trouble fully resonating with the steps given because it feels repetitive and too surface. And sometimes, it's like a workbook with too many pressing questions and less action. Do you get what I mean? A big criticism of this sort of manifestation practice, is that it fails to recognise the inherent negative thoughts some individuals may have as a result of mental health issues, like anxiety and depression. ‘Assuming positive thinking will result in positive experiences is quite a reductionist approach, and does seem to ignore the reality that not all our thoughts are positive,’ says McMahon. Likewise, the repetition of manifesting one’s goals and the possibility that the goal might not come to fruition might exacerbate one’s negative views about themselves or the world. ‘Manifesting encourages focus on only the positives; however, this can increase the pressure to feel happy all of the time,’ warns Kamara.

Manifest showed you it's possible to change your life. Now Dive Deeper will show you every step you need to take to get there. But manifesting, which is essentially willing your goals into existence, isn’t exactly a new phenomenon. Based on the Law of Attraction, which was part of the New Thought movement and theorised by 19th century spiritualist Phineas Quimby, manifesting is all about the belief that our thoughts are energy. The concept has its foundations in several philosophical and religious traditions, from Hermeticism and Transcendentalism to Hinduism, and has been expanded on by several Twentieth Century theorists such as Napolean Hill ( Think and Grow Rich, 1937 ) and Louise Hay ( You Can Heal Your Life, 1984). To put it simply, manifesting aims to put the individual in the driver’s seat of their own life and makes them responsible for the positive and negative effects in their lives. The author says, 'by the time you have worked through this book, you will have greater clarity around what you actually want from life, you will have healed in profound and astonishing ways, you will understand how to step into the very best version of yourself that exists, and you will be manifesting effortlessly and powerfully.' Where Nafousi's first book was an entry into the manifesting practice, Dive Deeper focuses more closely on helping the reader with their self-belief.
