help deciphering my first manifestation experience (please read especially if you’ve been manifesting/meditating for a long time!)

warning: this is a pretty long read but i would really really appreciate it if you read and commented your opinion hi, today i tried my hand at manifesting for the first time. having tried listening to subliminals without much success i went in somewhat skeptical but with a pretty open mind overall as these last few months of social distancing have allowed me to move away from the religion i grew up in and look into spirituality some more. after sniffing around this subreddit and looking into other sources, as well as receiving confirmation from one of my closest friends that manifesting had been helping her with her love life and seeing a shift in her behaviour i decided that i would try it out. these last couple of days i’d been reciting affirmations to myself and not doing much else. today I scripted for the first time while listening to a weight loss subliminal. shortly after i was looking through my instagram stories and a girl i follow who i do not know at all (she used to go to school with one of my summer camp friends) put up a post from a manifestation/loa account about seeing signs like angel numbers in your day-to-day life. never have i seen someone i follow on a social media platform post about manifestation/loa and for it to be right after i’d sat down and scripted for the better part of an hour felt like a sign. a couple of hours later i sat down to do two guided meditations i found on youtube, while meditating i was guided to place my hand overs my face and i immediately saw a blue eye. not a human’s eye with a blue iris but an eye that was entirely blue, i figure that this is simply a representation of me opening my third eye although i’d like to hear this community’s thoughts on it. once i was done meditating i felt the giddiest i have felt in a very long time, probably the giddiest i’ve been since i was a child. it feels like my energy has completely shifted and i am seeing this whole entire world from a new perspective. it’s so hard to explain but i’m assuming you all must know what i mean. essentially, i feel as if i can take on the world now that i’ve been awakened, it’s as if i’ve been blind my whole entire life and now i can see the world for what it really is. every little object seems different and even my cat and my own body seem different, and better. when i went to the bathroom, i stopped to look in the mirror and genuinely loved what I saw. while standing there, i took in every single one of my flaws and smiled at how beautiful i felt. not even physically, as i was still able to take in my physical flaws but in a different way that i again am struggling to put into words. has anyone had a similar experience? is this usually how one’s spiritual awakening goes? now comes the part that freaks me out but also excites me. after taking an hour to myself to read out on the balcony (one of the guided meditations had told me to stay away from electronics and go outside after finishing up) i came into my room and took of my glasses. my glasses broke in half as soon as i took them off, there was no sound and no force applied and they simply fell apart. now i would like to note that the side that snapped had been missing a nose pad for a while, which most likely weakened the structure? although that makes absolutely no sense to me as the place where they snapped did not have any attachments/hardware on it to hold it and was not the spot the nose pad had been placed. this could genuinely just be because of the nose pad or because the glasses weren’t the best quality, i’m confident there are many “logical” explanations for this happening. personally i feel as if it was the universe’s way of telling me i had finally found out the truth, that the metaphorical glasses had been a shield between me and the real world and now they have been taken off and i know what is actually going on. please let me know your thoughts on this and whether you have had a similar experience i would love to know of any thought you had while reading so please comment anything that came to mind. if you read this entire post thank you so very much and i am very grateful to now be a part of this community. submitted by /u/FairYoung [link] [comments]
