Why Can't I Manifest My Desires?

On the LovingLife Reiki and Holistic Guidance facebook page, we have been posting many tips, videos, and articles on "Manifesting Your Dreams".  The truth is, some are able to manifest easily and others are left feeling discouraged and mistrusting of this concept. 

This may be a hard pill to swallow. Often we sabotage our own desires. We turn away when the universe offers us a hand. Why would we do this? Perhaps we are afraid to truly be happy. What would we be working towards if we were fully content with our lives? Some fear that being truly happy will bring resentment of others. Others are terrified that happiness simply is not possible, so why bother trying? Another possibility is that we may 'think' we want something, or we used to want something, but our heart simply isn't in it anymore, or has bigger priorities right now (like self-love). Have a conversation with your heart. See what happens.  This is a good place to start.
