What expanders did you find?: Another libra girl who did the same job as me at the time (travel writer) - we look alike visually, too. I reached out, and we have been good friends ever since.
What tests did you face? Which did you pass? Not pass?: I failed two tests. One was going for an emotionally unavailable guy. The other was going for a guy who was amazing but too focused on work, and I wasn't a priority.
Did you experience a magic dark period? If so, tell us about it.: Right before the US closed its borders in March 2020, I was in NYC for work. I met with an old soul mate who always had feelings for me. We had a nice day together and started talking via Instagram DM. Soon, as I was desperate to find my soulmate, and he was already in love with me, we found each other talking all day, every day during the lockdown. I spent lockdown in the countryside of Bulgaria, where I had no friends, no social life, and all I did was talk to this guy and hike while listening to the Expanded Podcast.
Then, when the border opened for travel, I moved to the Canary Islands of Spain. As I journaled and reflected, my soul told me that I was using my NYC guy as a lifeboat. I had to let go. It was very hard because I was terrified of being alone. My dad passed away when I was 11, and my mom never met anyone after. So with all that fear, I just let go of the guy.
How did your manifestation come through?: As I let go of my safety net, I walked around for about a week or two vocally saying, "Universe, I'm ready for magic!" (I'm a non-specific manifestor). I continued doing Unblocked love. Then, one night...a friend took me to a bar. I never drink, but we went because it was a new spot. We had an Aperol Spritz. Then we got to talking, and she convinced me to stay for another one. And then three guys came over. They had been sitting next to us. Two of them were Bulgarian like me, and one was not.
The one who wasn't was the guy who initiated the conversation. I immediately found him attractive - he had long hair, dressed well but very much in his own style, kind of skater-ey but elegant, wore beads, had this warm smile. We ended up hanging out with these guys. At a party in their house, 2 of his friends hit on me, but I said no, I'm interested in him. Then, as the two of us found ourselves sitting on the roof of his Airbnb under the stars, I kissed him. And he was absolutely ecstatic.
He was hoping I'd make the first move because he didn't want to cross any of my boundaries. We've been together ever since for a year. We connect on everything, things big and small, but mostly our energies connect, and we feel a current running through one another when we hug. He committed to me right away. He was meant to leave the island but stayed. We moved in together two months after meeting.
How long did it take for your manifestation to come through after crafting your initial list?: About one year
How frequently were you using the workshops and DI's when you noticed the biggest shift surrounding your manifestation?: I'm not big on meditation, but I'm big on journaling, so I would journal twice a week, and on the other days, I would read what I wrote
How do you incorporate this work into your life on a daily basis? Any tips, tricks or recommendations for getting the most out of it, or personalizing it?: Writing down my list of who I was calling in and what I had to offer and reading it every morning and every night.
