You Can’t Manifest Abundance While Living Like a Ghost

You say you want to manifest abundance. But let’s be honest, most days, you’re just trying to hold it together.
You’re getting through work, keeping up appearances, ticking boxes and wondering why your life still feels flat, stuck, or half-alive. You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just not here. You’re living like a ghost, cut off from your own energy, your body, your truth.
And this is why it’s not working.
Because you can’t manifest abundance while disconnected from yourself.
You’re Not Aligned. You’re Numb.
Here’s what no one tells you about abundance: it doesn’t respond to what you think you want. It responds to what your body, your energy, and your nervous system are actually broadcasting.
So if you’re overwhelmed, burned out, checked out, even if you’re doing all the “right things”, what you’re radiating is lack, fatigue, fear. You can’t call in a rich, fulfilling life when your whole system is still wired for survival.
You Look Fine, But You’re Not Really Here
You’re functioning. You get things done. You show up.
But underneath? You don’t feel inspired anymore. You don’t trust your own instincts. You can’t remember the last time you felt fully alive in your body. You’re living in your head, disconnected from your gut, emotionally flatlined.
That’s ghost mode.
And it’s not a personal flaw. It’s what happens when you spend too long ignoring your deeper needs just to keep up with the world.
A Story That Still Haunts Me
A woman came to one of my energy training sessions after losing her father. She wasn’t new to healing work, she’d tried journaling, meditation, everything she could find to connect with him. What she was looking for in the training, was a direct line to him, to be able to talk to him in the afterlife.
But what she didn’t realise was that she wasn’t just trying to reach him. She was trying to feel something again. She’d gone numb from grief. Disconnected from her own heart.
She showed up hoping for a message. What she got instead was a reawakening. Through daily energy practices, she started to come back to herself.
Three months later, she said this:
“I thought I wanted to talk to my dad. But what I really needed was to stop being numb. I’ve never felt this alive in my life.”
That’s the power of presence. And that’s the real doorway to abundance.
You Can’t Create Anything from a Place You’ve Left Behind

This is why The Abundant Self doesn’t start with mindset work or goal setting.
It starts with reconnection: breath practices to get you out of your head and into your body. Energy tools that clear the static and restore flow. Grounded truth-telling to strip away the emotional fog. Stillness that doesn’t numb, but reveals.
Because you can’t manifest anything meaningful until you’ve actually arrived in your own life.
This Is Where the Shift Begins
If any of this hit home, don’t brush it off.
This isn’t about hustling harder or trying to feel more grateful. It’s about finally facing the truth: you’re here. You’re alive. And you’re ready to stop ghosting your own life.
This is where the reconnection begins.
Where clarity returns.
Where abundance becomes possible, because you are possible.
You don’t need to visualise harder. You need to come back to yourself.
All the best,
Steve
