The Body Knows: Reclaiming Your Felt Sense of Power


Before we manifest, we come home to the body that will hold it.

We’ve been sold a half-truth about manifestation.

We’ve been told it’s all about thoughts, vision boards, and positive vibes.

That if you just align your mindset or raise your vibration, everything you desire will fall into place.

But here’s the missing piece, the part most teachings gloss over:

Your body must say yes before the universe can.

Because real manifestation doesn’t begin in the mind.

It begins in the body.

The body isn't a passive container waiting to receive your dreams.

It's the vessel that builds, holds, and integrates them.

Until your nervous system feels safe, open, and resourced enough to receive what you’re calling in, the desire may stay in the realm of thought, never fully landing in lived reality.

This isn’t failure.

It’s feedback.

It’s your body saying, “Not yet. Protecting you is more important.”

So instead of overriding your system with affirmations and false high vibes, this series invites you into something far more powerful:

Somatic manifestation.

Manifestation rooted in safety, embodiment, and sensation.

Manifestation that moves through your bones, your breath, and your blood.

 

The Body Stores Memory, Pattern, and Permission
Every spell you’ve cast. Every trauma you’ve survived. Every yes you’ve whispered or no you’ve swallowed—your body remembers.

Your shoulders hold your stories.

Your gut holds your knowing.

Your breath holds your boundaries.

And until these parts of you feel included in your manifestation work, they’ll continue to shape what you believe you’re allowed to have.

This is why mindset alone can never be enough.

Because your body might be running an entirely different script.

So we start here.

Not with vision boards.

But with your felt sense.

The subtle, sacred language of your body.

The difference between a performance and a true, embodied yes.

 

Learning to Hear a Somatic Yes and Honour a No
What does it feel like in your body when something is right?

Not exciting. Not flashy. But true?

It’s often quieter than you think.

A soft exhale. A grounded sense of ease. A warm expansion behind your heart.

And what about a no?

A tightness in your throat. A clench in your stomach. A subtle sense of being “off.”

We’ve been trained to ignore these signals.

To override them in favour of logic, social expectation, or spiritual dogma.

But your somatic truth is your most accurate compass, and reclaiming it is the first act of magick.

So in this somatic manifestation section, you’ll learn how to:

  • Recognise your body’s language of yes and no
  • Distinguish excitement from alignment
  • Tune into subtle cues before making big decisions
  • Rebuild trust in your embodied wisdom

Because the nervous system always tells the truth first.

 

Grounding and Centring: Preparing the Body as Altar
Before we manifest, we come home.

We root.
We regulate.
We return to ourselves.

This is the opposite of hustle culture magick, where we push, perform, or ‘raise our vibration’ at the expense of our own equilibrium.

In somatic manifestation, we begin with grounding, not as a spiritual afterthought, but as an energetic prerequisite.

  • When you're centred, you become a strong enough vessel to hold your desire.
  • When you're grounded, your spells have roots.
  • When your body feels safe, your power returns.

 

 

Final Words: You Are the Spell
The most powerful spells don’t live in books.
They live in your skin.
Your bones.
Your instinct.

So as we begin this journey together, remember:

You don’t need to become someone new to manifest your desires.
You need to become more of who you already are, fully, sensually, somatically.

This is the spell that changes everything.

This is the magick that lives in your cells.

Let’s begin—not in your head, but in your body.
Not with effort, but with exhale.
Not with striving, but with sacred return.

Because when your body says yes…
That’s when your magick becomes real.
