The fastest path to manifestation is to steer your thoughts in the direction of that which you want. When you line up with what you want, when you can use your mind to get yourself into the state of feeling as if you already possess that which you want – when you can almost see, touch, taste, and hear it – and feel good about it – that is what is meant by alignment. It is the fastest path to manifestation, hands down, because simply going into the space of “as if” is an act of faith, and when you have faith, and when you are willing to believe, the universe will move mountains to see to it that the manifestation occurs. All sorts of events will occur, some seemingly random. I assure you they are not, they are a result of your alignment!
A common misconception is that when you are aligned, when you are utilizing the law of attraction (which, by the way, you can’t ever NOT be utilizing) but that when you purposefully using the law of attraction, that you will be sitting around on the sofa waiting for stuff to show up on your doorstep.
While I am not discounting this being a possibility (wink, wink) what is more likely to occur is inspired action. When you are truly aligned, you will suddenly get the desire to go here, do this, read that, call this person etc; and it will lead you to solving a piece of the puzzle towards the vision you have created with your mind. It will feel fun, it will feel aligned, you will know it is the right thing to do, and wild horses couldn’t stop you from doing it. (ego check: it should also feel peaceful as well as compelling, to make sure it is truly of your higher mind and for your higher good.) It will feel fun, fun, fun to feel this aligned and feel this much synchronicity!
Sometimes people have trouble manifesting. In my experience working with myself and others, 99.9% of the time that is because of a subconscious block, a.k.a. resistance or as I prefer to call it, “split energy”. Split energy is when your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, actions – and SUBCONSCIOUS THOUGHTS – are NOT congruent. It is if all 
trains are not going down the same track nor moving in the same direction. Often – usually – part of this has it’s roots in the subconscious mind. 95% of your behavior is driven by the subconscious mind. Luckily, modalities such as EFT, NLP, meditation and hypnosis can all release this split, or blockage, or resistance. Regardless of what you name it is essentially the same thing – incongruence. Alignment is when your thoughts, feelings, words, vibrations, behaviors, and actions are all in alignment and congruent with each other.
Split energy is when they are not.
Alignment is fun and effortless, and feels like everything is falling into place in a wonderful way which you couldn’t have imagined. Often it is better than you could have come up with yourself, because God/the universe (or whatever you want to call that which creates worlds) is that creative and awesome.
Split energy feels effortful, like you are running in circles, like you are working hard. For some reason our society has glorified hard work that feels like suffering. While I am not discounting putting in effort (I certainly do!) there is no reason it has to feel like struggle. It is possible for the effort to feel fun and fluid and easy and well – effortless. That is another sign you are aligned – it will feel fun and inspired. You will WANT to take action, as opposed to feeling obligated. Doesn’t it always feel better to give from the heart as opposed to from obligation? When you are aligned, you will know your truth as a divine co-creator born from, and made of love, and all of your actions will be an expression of that truth.
Releasing split energy is INNER work. What is really going on is that you – or rather your subconscious mind – is getting in your way. That is why inner work pays such ENORMOUS dividends…because 95% of our behavior is driven by the subconscious mind.
The good news is, you CAN influence your subconscious mind. Positive change CAN occur, in a way that feels fun, effortless, and is highly efficient for you. On the contrary, taking an external action journey without changing your programming is simply inefficient. My analogy for this is if you put a master copy in a Xerox machine, and you hit “copy”, you will keep getting the same result. In order to change the result, you have to change your MASTER copy. In this case, your master copy is your subconscious mind. Imagine trying to get a different copy to come out, without changing the master copy – that is insanity! Trying to create a different outcome without changing your programming is similar.
Changing your programming = different result. It is by far the fastest and easiest path. So now, my question for you is, what do you want to create in your life now? And do you want to take the hard road, or the conscious, joyous, more efficient path?
