Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to the idealistic or notional idea of them. But did you know you can shift your reality through your perception? The way you perceive things shapes your reality.In this episode, I talk about reality and how to shift it through your perception. I also share how working on my energy healing has shifted my mental health and, eventually, my reality. Your thoughts lead to emotions and those emotions lead to more thoughts, which leads to a continuous cycle that you might be trying to escape from. You’ll need to put more effort to be in a positive mindset and operate in a higher vibration. As a child of God, you’re way more powerful and capable than you realize, and you can unlock that power to bend your reality by changing your perception of it. “The way you view things will eventually allow you to get the best out of your circumstances.”- Ugo Eze [09:16]

Do You Want to Bend Your Reality?

What makes an item special? Items carry energy that can't be seen by our physical eyes. Items are made special by the emotions they carry and emotions that are created by the energy they put out. In this episode, we talk about the energy carried by items and why you should be careful when touching items that don’t belong to you. When touching things, you are not only giving off energy but also receiving energy, so you need to be cautious of what you’re receiving. Don’t underestimate the power of energy transfer.  Although items’ energy can be repurposed, it’s important to know what items you should even bother repurposing and what you should respectfully not touch. There are some items with deep negative energy that all you need to do is let them go; keeping them is not worth the effort.

How Energy Attaches to Objects and You

Have you ever walked into a room or been in a situation where you felt off about things? That’s energy, and God has given us the ability to read it, sense it, and experience it.In this episode, we talk about energy and the importance of reading energy when in different spaces and situations. Trusting and allowing yourself to feel energy enables you to navigate certain situations that could put you in bad spiritual spaces or become huge blessings!To draw people in, it’s important to do the inner work and put yourself in a position where you’re emitting a high level of good energetic resonance and staying away from negative lower energy situations like hate, malice, fear, lust, and more. “It’s very important you do the inner work to put yourself in a position where you’re emitting a high level of good energetic resonance.”- Ugo Eze [08:34]

The Importance of Energy Reading

How do you spiritually manifest what you desire? Spiritual manifestation starts with faith or believing in something before it happens – using the power of your imagination. Manifestation comes from imagination. What does that thing look like? What does it smell like? In this episode, we talk about how you can manifest your desire spiritually by connecting with your spirit and God. Manifestation can bring you to the thing or can bring that thing to you; all you have to do is create pathways to lead you there.

How To Spiritually Manifest

Did you know that people have the ability to create things from their spirit? God has given us the spirit of creation. Energy is transferrable, and you can send positive or negative energy to people. You carry the power to create and destroy, and sending negativity to people does not align with what Jesus teaches.In this episode, we talk about the dangers of negative spiritual manifestations and why you should avoid them. As you grow spiritually, your responsibilities increase; it becomes your responsibility to do good to others. Be careful of what you’re thinking, saying, and manifesting because it’s not only good that comes from that portal. “The same way you have the ability to create, you also have the ability to destroy, and not everyone is aware of their spiritual ability to build or destroy.”- Ugo Eze [1:58]

The Dangers of Spiritual Manifestation 

In this episode, Ugo dives deep into the meaning of manifestation and its spiritual aspects. Everything you’re looking at in this world started from someone’s thoughts and then became physical. It was manifested. God created us in His likeness, which means we can also create just like He does.“In order for someone to speak something into existence, they first have to think something into existence.”- Ugo Eze [03:11]We can create things from a spiritual place, but for it to resonate on a higher realm, it shouldn't solely be selfishly based. Functioning in the true form of God’s spirit is about love and how it can make your life and other people’s lives better. You can manifest, but it’s highly important to understand why you’re doing it and what you’re doing it for. Once you understand your role in this universe, you can begin to create in a way that puts you in the same frequency as God.If this podcast is adding true value to your life, then please LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE!
