But, fortunately, the sound of power is changing.

It is possible to manifest with greater ease–to relax into it, trust the process, and pull in everything you desire faster. Manifesting your desires slows or stops when you’re functioning from inner dissonance–when part of you wants to hit the target, but some secret, shadowy part of you (that you might not even be aware of) holds you back. It can feel like you’re taking two steps forward, one step backward, or that you have to strain and effort to reach your dreams.

It is about determining the most efficient way of gaining victory with the least amount of conflict.
