Part 7 of Unity Books Presents: Unapologetic Manifestation, focuses on the practical use of the manifestation book and companion journal. Ken discusses the transition from “survival mode” to a “thrive” consciousness. He reveals a startling study from Dominican University: sharing your goals in a support group makes you 33% more likely to manifest them. This post highlights the power of accountability and the 10-week deep dive into shadow work.
So in the book, in the journal, you give people a lot to read, a lot to think about, and a lot to do if they really intend to change their lives. So I want to talk to you about what you think is the best way for people to use these books. And I’d already started telling them there’s a six-week study guide in the back of the book, and then the journal is 10 weeks of daily exercises that can be used by individuals or groups. Is that what you had in mind?
Ken Daigle:
It is exactly. So like right now, right now, Unity on the Bay, Reverend Wan and Unity on the Bay, they have 65 people doing the 10-week book study and using the companion journal to work with that. So the companion journal is a spiral-bound one where they get to write and answer questions and do exercises all the time. You can do the companion journal all on your own. I’m doing it every morning. Now that it’s actually in print, I have a book I get to do it in a linear form, and I’m enjoying it so much as part of my morning routine. And so the book itself has those same worksheets, the companion journal expands on them and gives you more questions and more prompts to go deeper. And you get to do it at your own pace if you’re doing it as a self-study. But accountability in a class or a workshop or a small study group, that helps too, because neuroscience has proven to us that people who state their goal, who claim it in a small group and have accountability within that group are 33% more likely to manifest the goal than people who just make a goal and keep it to themselves. So yes, 33%.
Ellen Debenport:
Oh, who actually studied that?
Ken Daigle:
Really, someone at Dominican university right here in California did that. And I read the study, it was just so amazing. Being in a support group where you explain what you want to make, what you want to manifest, what you want to do, and having a group to support you is so helpful in changing your life. So there’s lots of different ways that you can do that.
