Hi Athena,
I have been following you for just about a year and a half! Although I have never gotten coaching from you, I have been applying everything you have put on tik tok regarding LoA and manifesting! I have an SP one, and a job one! I just want to thank you for making your knowledge accessible for everyone! I can tell you genuinely want everyone to succeed, hence you make all your content free and not gatekeeping it for money like so many other creators.
I was dumped by someone who I thought was the love of my life about 2 years ago. It was really devastating, and I was extremely insecure after the breakup. I would constantly compare myself to him in a negative light (Ex: he’s in med school, and I’m just an accountant, he’s 5,10’’, and I’m only 5’8 , etc.) So I did what seems like every gen-z person did when they got dumped: go on tik tok and try to manifest him back! I started out with all the affirmations, and the 369, and it all felt very delusional to me. I know I’m embarrassing myself saying this, but how can I affirm that SP is back with me, when I just saw that he was with another guy!? I had a burner account to look at his social media stories. Then I saw Athena Raven talking about “lazy manifesting”, and she had me hooked. I generally see myself as a “lazy”, but still successful person. I always had the belief I never had to study to get good grades, so she was speaking my language! She was talking about how you can just visualize as much as you need and then let it go, So I visualized myself telling my friends in great detail “my ex is so obsessed with me” then let it go. Let me tell you it backfired! Then I started to see a weird burner account look at all my Instagram stories, which was weird because I never really had a burner account stalk me before. After this burner account stalked me for a month, I told my friend about it. She told me that you can just put the username, then hit the “forgot my password” button and it will tell you which email they sent the reset code to. So I did that, and it was my ex’s email! Then I told the friend (who was also in the visualization) “my ex is so obsessed with me!” At that point I knew Athena was the real deal! At this point, I had realized that I did not want him back anymore. I realized my self worth, and quite frankly he is not the person I want to marry (nor did I find it worthy of the time/energy to revise him to be perfect for me.) I realized that I may not be a doctor like him, but that does not reflect my worth. Especially when I was kinder, fitter (I’m a competitive rock climber and he doesn’t even work out), more social, and accountants can become senior and make just as much as a general physician! I decided to manifest a new SP by scripting every single detail about him. I wanted him to be as fit as me, be as kind as me, prioritize me, etc. Then I knew it was going to happen at the right time. Oddly enough I went to a music festival with my best friend, and she introduced me to my current boyfriend of 1 year! I went back and looked at the list I made, and he checked every.single.box. I did not script this, but he is also in med school as well. Funny coincidence.
I got laid off this past October, and I was already consciously manifesting a new job at the time. I was quite miserable at my old job due to my coworkers being twice my age, micromanaging, pay was not worth the work, and toxic work environment. So I started to write down how I wanted my new job to be: coworkers my age (I’m 24), great pay, work/life balance, etc. Then I got laid off the week after. Some people would see this as their manifestation not working, but I saw this as a movement that they laid me off so I could be at my dream job! I took a month off to have a little FUNemployment vacation and would visualize whenever I felt like it. I feel like a lot of people get stressed over their manifestations because they think “I need to visualize or script for XYZ hours!!!” When honestly, I only do it when I want to for fun! I feel like putting pressure on techniques puts you in a state of lack, when the techniques are just to remind you that you have it/it’s on the way. Then out of nowhere, I got the random urge to just go on indeed and check for jobs. I saw the job posting and applied. I had two interviews, one over the phone, and one in-person interview a week later. After my phone interview, I did get some anxiety about whether I was going to get the job. I would then visualize reminding myself that I already have the job whenever I did feel anxious. I want to add that it’s ok that we have negative feelings or thoughts, and it is ok to react!! Sometimes I would turn down expensive hangouts and feel sad because I was unemployed and could not afford it. I knew that it was temporary, so I did not dwell on it. If I feel like the job is mine 90% of the time, and then 10% I react to the 3D, the negative reaction is not going to mess it up! Your main state of being is what manifests based off my experiences. I had my in-person interview, and I realized this job ticked off every single box! I loved the staff, the benefits were amazing, work/life balanced is ENCOURAGED, and free BREAKFAST AND LUNCH! When I got home, I got an offer later in the email waiting for me.
Thank you again Athena for everything! Your genuine love and sincerity are felt throughout the whole community, and I wish you nothing but the best! I hope you know the impact you have made on not just my life, but all of your followers’ and clients!
