When wanting turns into grasping, we accidentally repel what we seek.
In this episode of Vibrations and Manifestations, Alicia and Jared explore the subtle, magnetic line between desire and attachment—how to keep longing alive without tipping into need.
You’ll learn:
✨ Why anxious and avoidant attachment patterns show up in manifestation
🧠 How dopamine keeps us addicted to “the chase”
🌿 What the Law of Detachment really means
💫 Step-by-step tools to release the grip and realign your energy
🕊️ A guided visualization with the open-handed “bird” practice to restore trust and flow
Try it now:
Write your top 3 desires and the feelings you expect them to bring.
Find small ways to feel those emotions today.
When impatience surfaces, repeat: “It’s already in motion.”
Key Quote:
“Desire invites; attachment demands. Only one keeps the door open.”
🎧 Listen for the real-time Manifestation Debug Mode and learn how to ask yourself:
Am I trying to get something or be something?
Would I still feel worthy if it hadn’t happened yet?
