LightSong School of 21st-Century Shamanism and Energy Medicine Talking Stick Podcast Hold the Vibration: Trusting the Dream Before Seeing the Results
What happens when you believe in the life you're creating—but the results haven't shown up yet?
In this episode of LightSong Talking Stick - Manifesting Miracles, Jan Engels-Smith and members of the LightSong community explore what manifestation looks like in everyday life—not simply imagining what you want, but learning how to remain grounded, trusting, and connected to your vision when circumstances seem to say otherwise.
Through personal stories and practical examples, the conversation explores the delicate balance between taking action and letting go of the outcome. How do you pursue a dream, build a business, make a major life change, or move through uncertainty without allowing fear, disappointing numbers, other people's opinions, or the constant need for external validation to take over?
Jan shares one of the central teachings of the episode:
"The only job that you have in this creation is holding the vibration."
That doesn't mean sitting back and waiting for something magical to happen. It means noticing the energy from which you're acting. Are you creating from inspiration, trust, and possibility—or from fear, urgency, and desperation?
The group discusses how easily the mind can turn uncertainty into worry, how slowing down and becoming present can interrupt that cycle, and why practices such as meditation, prayer, visualization, gratitude, and time spent in stillness can help us reconnect with what we know internally.
You'll also hear creative and practical approaches to manifestation, including personalized AI vision boards, manifestation documents, gratitude lists, celebrating small successes, working with spiritual allies, and imagining how you would live today if the future you desire were already secure.
The conversation also explores:
-
Why small miracles build trust for bigger changes
-
The difference between allowing and trying to control an outcome
-
How constantly checking results can undermine your confidence
-
Why turning a passion into something that has to succeed can drain the joy from it
-
How to honor disappointment without allowing it to define what's possible
-
Why appreciation for what you already have can change how you experience your life
-
The importance of practicing a new way of being until it becomes more natural
-
Leaving room for "this or something greater" than what you originally imagined
Ultimately, this episode isn't simply about getting what you want. It's about learning to live differently while you're creating it.
Instead of waiting for the perfect result before allowing yourself to feel successful, peaceful, abundant, or grateful, what if you practiced those qualities now?
What if you celebrated the sale you made instead of worrying about the four you didn't?
What if you noticed the small miracle instead of waiting for the enormous one?
What if you stopped allowing one disappointing email, setback, or number to erase everything that's already working?
Jan closes with a powerful invitation to look at the goodness that is already present in your life—and to celebrate it.
Because manifestation isn't only about creating something you don't yet have.
It's also about recognizing how much of the miracle is already here.
