In 2017, I was living as a digital nomad. I loved the freedom, the diversity of projects and adventures that came with each new place. Every bit of money I earned I spent on travel, because I was hungry for new and different experiences.

When the moment came for my first trip to Spain - to Madrid, the royal city - it was as if everything lined up perfectly. I felt clear signs to go. Despite that, I was still close to giving up since no one could join me. Although solo travel scared me, my whole being was vibrating and saying:

GO! DON’T WAIT FOR ANYONE!

A week later, I packed a single backpack and set out, filled with a mix of fear, excitement and joy. What I didn’t know yet was that this time alone would prepare me for deep spiritual work in the years to come.

What you resist - persists

After two days of the "honeymoon phase", reality hit me. I faced deep loneliness. I wished I had someone beside me to share the moments with, but even connecting with new people wasn't happening easily.

Exploring Madrid became tiring. Instead of happiness, I felt sad and empty. What had sounded like a dream trip felt overwhelming. I felt completely unprepared for this kind of experience. I sat in a restaurant, with a glass of wine in hand, observing people. All I could see were groups of friends sharing food, stories and laughter. Tears rolled down my face.

I called the one person I was sure would understand how I was feeling - my brother.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?", he asked.

"This isn't how I imagined it. I feel so alone. I haven't spoken to anyone in days and everything feels strange. I don't know if I can do this."

"Do you want me to come?"

That one question hit me right in the heart. I had never felt so lonely, but in that moment I knew - I wasn't alone. Someone loved me enough to drive thousands of kilometers just to take away my sadness.

My helplessness turned into gratitude. I was alone in Madrid, but I wasn't alone in life. And instead of resisting how I felt, I accepted it.

What you accept - transforms

Once I accepted that the “worst” that could happen was spending a few days alone, it stopped feeling so scary. The day that began with melancholy and tears ended with me meeting an incredible group of new people.

And funny enough, after four days of socializing, I realized I craved peace again. Just knowing I could meet people anytime I wanted gave me comfort. This time, I chose to spend my last day in Madrid completely on my own - without plans, without expectations.

Finding power in surrender

I followed the streets wherever they led me. After hours of wandering, I reached a park overlooking the Royal Palace. As I was walking around, I noticed a building that didn't fit the Madrid's architecture at all - it was Temple of Debod. I couldn’t stop circling it, completely drawn to the beauty and uniqueness of this Egyptian monument.

The park around me was very alive - people doing yoga, kids running, barbecues sizzling, music floating through the air. I pulled out my notebook and wrote:

“This is the most beautiful day and the most beautiful place I have seen in Madrid by far. I’m so happy I discovered this park, I feel so good sitting under this tree. I know I will be coming back here.”

Little did I know that this temple would become a symbol of my strongest visualizations coming true.

Ritual of the Irish Goddess Brigid

Four years and many life changes later, I joined a ritual dedicated to the Irish goddess Brigid. That was the first time I experienced her presence. I discovered her as one of my spiritual guides, although at that time I didn’t know what to do with that information. I would be convinced of her power in the years that followed.

As I entered meditation, carefully following the voice of the wonderful woman who led the ritual, I had to free my mind of expectations and let the images flow. The intention was to see and create the life we truly wanted from the bottom of the soul. During the meditation, images began to appear to me. After a few moments, I found myself standing in front of the Temple of Debod.

Emotions rushed over me as the meditation unfolded, especially as the story accompanying it flowed. I saw my younger self sitting under a tree, writing her wishes with so much joy and hope. I slowly approached her and when she looked up, I felt as if I was face-to-face with a younger version of myself.

Meeting my past (and future) self

In 2021. I had this kind of experience for the first time - and it was completely unexplainable back then. Rationally, I knew I was in meditation, but I couldn’t understand why I felt like it was happening at that very moment. I could even feel the warmth of the sun, the wind, even the sounds of the park. I understood who I had been, who I was and who I was going to be. I felt like I had broken through all existing boundaries of the mind and rationality.

Crazy as it sounds, it’s true that I witnessed a meeting between younger me and my future self. The younger me was amazed by the older one, by the fact that she had become everything she always wanted to be, everything she had been writing about in her journals for years. It seemed like all her affirmations and wishes had become reality - she could see them right in front of her.

The future me was beautiful - calm, confident, grounded. She was the complete opposite of what I was at that time. She looked different too - dark hair, stronger, more radiant, carrying herself with peace. She looked at the younger me with love and understanding. She said:

“I am you and you are me. This is your reality as much as it is mine. Whenever you start doubting yourself, remember this meeting, remember your future self. That will give you the strength to overcome every challenge on the path to realizing your deepest desires.”

Then, a man appeared and placed his hand on her shoulder. I couldn’t see his face, but I felt immense love. I felt support, stability, respect and joy. I knew immediately that was her partner. In an instant, this triggered me in my present reality and tears started flooding down my cheeks.

It took me a long time to accept this experience. I couldn’t explain it logically, so I stayed silent about it for a long time. But, deep down, I knew this experience was true. I wasn't living it yet, but I knew I would one day.

In the years that followed, I often returned to that place in meditation and revisited this ritual.

Although I didn’t know the road or the way the realization would come, I held onto faith, because it gave me joy and motivation to keep moving forward - especially when nothing else remained.

Visualization that became reality

Seven years later, I returned to Madrid. I went back to Parque del Oeste. As I approached, I felt pure excitement. But this time, I wasn't alone. I was there with my partner - the same person I had first met in meditation years before.

That realization and the awareness that one of my greatest wishes came true, filled me with so much gratitude. It was the proof I needed me confirmation that everything we truly desire and do not give up on—will eventually come true. The question most people get stuck on is:

WHEN will the manifestation of what we want happen?

Manifestations, especially of our biggest desires, rarely come instantly. They happen instantly on some higher levels, which we cannot rationally perceive. In our reality, they manifest when we are ready for them and when we have “met the conditions.” That is why, on the path to manifestation, it is important to also work on removing limiting beliefs.

Faith is an essential element of manifestation

Often, we must go through tests life places before us to see if and how much we truly want something. There are ups and downs, tests of faith, will and perseverance. The path isn’t easy, but it is very rewarding. It’s hard to believe in what we don’t yet see - I know. But that’s the key to manifestation: to learn to believe before we see it.

Can we call all this coincidence? Someone who views life solely through the lens of logic and reason might agree. However, my experience tells me differently, and I cannot attribute this entire sequence of events to pure chance. Especially knowing how much I believed I deserved for my wishes to come true.

Did the wish manifest entirely because of frequent visualizations?

In every realization of a wish, the intention set from the heart significantly contributes to its manifestation. Some say that the “right” intention is 50% of a fulfilled desire. On the other hand, many elements can influence it - from timing, to our readiness to receive what we deserve and sometimes even the lessons we must learn to open ourselves to the best possible outcome.

It is up to us to hold on to faith in what we want, but we can also contribute to manifestation through guided meditations and processes, visualizations and intention-setting. There are many techniques, most of them simple and accessible to everyone.

When our desire aligns with our purpose, with the Divine, with what our soul has chosen to live through - and when we contribute to that with techniques, methods and ancient laws of the Universe - manifestation will not fail.

The real shift happens when your energy aligns with your intention.

But first, you need to clear what's blocking you. Trapped emotions and limiting beliefs stuck in your energy, mental and emotional body prevent manifestation from flowing through. Book your FREE discovery call or drop a message - and let's identify what needs to shift.

Once those blockages are removed, energy can flow the way it's meant to - and your manifestation can actually happen.
