Anima: The Soul SpectrumSeason 5, Episode 5: The Energy of Receiving – How to Open, Allow, and Welcome What You’ve Asked For
Manifestation isn’t just about asking, visualizing, or taking action—it’s about learning to receive. Many of us unconsciously resist blessings because we feel unworthy, unsafe, or unsure when life flows easily.

You’ll learn three powerful techniques—sensory receiving, the “yes” exercise, and a nightly surrender ritual—to help you soften into trust and stabilize the frequency of “already having.”
