The Universe Responds to Action

How to Take Your Manifestations to the Next Level

Today’s blog concludes our series by looking at the fourth Spiritual Law of Money. (As a quick reminder, if you haven’t got your copy of my new book The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money you can do so here )


Let’s recap the first three laws:


Now let’s look at the fourth Spiritual Law of Money: The Universe Responds to Action.


This is about you taking the steps forward to bring your desires and manifestations to fruition. The previous three laws address the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional parts of yourself but of course, change can’t occur without taking the action steps and bringing all your plans and dreams into creation!


Sometimes our downfall can be to focus solely on practices such as meditation, writing down lists and even reaching the stage where we can receive messages, hits, and guidance from the universe.


We can believe this will be enough.


These previous steps are hugely essential in our journey to Real Wealth, but this final law means taking the practical and tangible action steps to seed those intentions for our lives.


Manifestation is Like Nurturing a Plant 


I’d like you to think of this like tending a plant. For it to grow, bloom and thrive, you have to water, weed, and cultivate it. It won’t do this without action on your part.


When you want something in life, you simply have to put some time and energy into it. The previous laws enable you to do this in a way that’s fully aligned with your soul and heart, and now this last step is what puts the skin in the game!


And look, I get it – we can all be prone to procrastination! Oftentimes a lack of doing comes from the fear and limited belief that we can’t do what we want to do and this creates a barrier.


But my hope for you now is that by understanding these four laws and seeing how they all beautifully flow into one another, you now have aligned your head and logical thinking left brain with your heart and have the inner confidence to move forwards.


This could look like this:


  • Getting crystal clear on your finances and setting up your new bank accounts, automated payments, and putting the credit card aside in favor of using cash for your purchases. Instead of swiping to fulfill an unmet emotional need, you are aligned in your spending and have actively made financial choices that support your short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals.

  • Sprucing up your CV and enrolling in a course or training that will further your skills in the career field you want to move into.

  • Seeing your current job as a bridge to the new business you want to build and meanwhile, setting aside an hour a day to get started on that business or venture!

  • Instead of relying on financial services again to pay for that car, you have a dedicated bank account to be able to pay cash when you want or need to purchase it.

  • Stepping away from a relationship that isn’t serving you.

  • Choosing not to plug into the influences that companies and society press upon us. (For example, it might seem like a good deal that you get 50% off your coffee on a Tuesday at Starbucks, but is that ‘deal’ aligned with your overall financial and life goals?)

It Only Takes Small Steps 


To avoid overwhelm, this isn’t about taking huge leaps forward. Even if it is the minimal viable choice, a tiny baby step, it’s still a step forward!


So please don’t feel you have to do everything all at once. Take the action steps at a pace that feels good and right to you. All that counts is that you begin to create momentum, keep going and actively communicate to the universe that yes, you’re ready for that big dream of yours to come into existence!


Even if it doesn’t come today or tomorrow, when you know you’re taking the steps to make it happen, and trust that it will form in its own divine timing, it’s incredible how great you start to feel and how the most unexpected opportunities and people show up along the way to propel us that little bit further.


This is also when you’ll find that you’re able to manifest more money!


All that matters here is that you’re moving in the direction of your heart and soul. The more you do this, things start to shift faster and bigger leaps come, moving you forward to your new reality. 


Reward Yourself!


Something important that will help you to continue that momentum is to reward yourself along the way when you reach a milestone or goal.


This is why when it comes to helping people turn around their financial lives, a big part of my process is to allow for those rewards and even have a savings fund dedicated to this. 


Why? Well, it enables you to feel that sense of accomplishment and happiness to support you to keep going and to keep following the path that is meant for you.


It Isn’t About Ticking off a To-Do List


In this hustle culture we live in, it can be easy to feel like these action steps are something to be ‘tackled’ and bulldozed through.


In the past, without having the knowledge of the previous laws, you might have even started this action part first and approached them from your masculine energy. You might have pushed, competed, and plowed forward to get your way.


This is a one-way ticket to burnout and making decisions and action steps that don’t align with your highest self.


After all, we as humans only have so much capacity!


So now it is time for a different approach. Put down the to-do list and lean into your feminine energy.


This means tapping into and following your intuition. It means tuning into your inner knowing – even if that seems radical, completely out of the box, or doesn’t make sense!


It’s about choosing to go with the flow and allowing things to unfold as they will. This creates a beautiful pull energy that attracts the things you want, versus the push energy, which is the blocking, tackling, and ‘doing’ to make things happen.


It Takes Patience


If you’re someone who just likes to get things done and wants to see immediate results, I understand! It’s not easy for some of us A-type personalities!


But allowing yourself to drop into your heart center, feel connected, and use that approach to direct your life is what will create a sense of flow.


Where everything seems to just come together.


Where it feels enjoyable and from a place of ease.


When time seems to move effortlessly and you’re relishing the process along the way.


If what you are doing to action your desires is taking a huge amount of hard pushing, you are not in your flow, and then it’s perhaps time to ask yourself if what you’re doing and striving for is actually what you truly want and are meant for.


Experiencing this incredible peak flow means taking action but doing it so you’re mindful of uniting your head and heart.


This is the magic formula that encourages the universe to respond by helping you to easily travel your correct path. It’s about moving forward as the synchronicities of life align due to the first three Universal Laws of Money.

 

All you have to do is channel your energy in the direction of your flow!


It’s been such a joy to share these four laws with you over the past few weeks, but this is just the tip of the iceberg! In my book The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money, I go into a great deal more detail including real-life examples as well as exercises to help you create your life of Real Wealth.

Reset Your Money Energy for 2026 Every December, we all feel that pull, the desire to “be better with money next year.” But here’s the secret I’ve seen again and again after nearly three decades of walking alongside people from all walks of life: Financially wealthy people don’t just plan their next year — they energetically complete the one they’re leaving. They close loops. They clear emotional residue. They realign their energy field before they set a single goal. And you can absolutely do the same. As I share in The Emotion Behind Money , wealth is never created by logic alone. It comes from managing the emotions behind your money and understanding that money itself is energy. And in Awaken Your Wealth , I remind readers that energetic shifts begin when you consciously picture yourself stepping into a new reality, while compassionately acknowledging the one you’re standing in now. So let’s walk through the simple year-end process I teach my clients — one that spiritually, emotionally, and financially resets your money field for a powerful 2026. 1. Review Your 2025 Wins & Losses With Compassion Before you step into the new year, look back with the most loving, nonjudgmental eyes possible. I call it neutral observation . Wealthy people don’t spiral into shame when something didn’t go perfectly. They get curious. Ask yourself: Where did I expand financially this year? Where did I contract emotionally or economically? What choices were truly aligned with my values? Which ones came from fear, scarcity, or old patterns? In Awaken Your Wealth , the “Accepting Reality and Awakening” step of PACT teaches that awareness without judgment is how we break old money patterns for good. So breathe. Notice. Write it down. No shame. No spiral. Just truth. 2. Forgive Any Money Mistakes Here’s a truth most people never consider: Every financial mistake carries emotional weight and emotional weight blocks money flow. From my work in The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , we know that your heart’s energy is more powerful than your brain’s logic, and intention is what redirects energy back into alignment. Forgiveness, of yourself, your past self, or others involved, releases stagnant money energy. Try this: Write down any money decisions from 2025 that still feel heavy. Place your hand on your heart. Say: "I forgive the version of me who made this choice. She/he did the best they could with what they knew at the time.” Forgiveness isn’t about letting mistakes slide. It’s about resetting your emotional money field so you can co-create something new. 3. Create an Energetic Closing Ceremony for the Year This is where wealthy people truly separate themselves; they honor the transition. You can create your own year-end ceremony using whatever resonates from your spiritual toolkit. Here are a few ideas inspired by the intention-setting and clearing practices throughout my work: Light a candle Symbolize releasing the old year and calling in the new. Write a “completion list” Include everything you’re ready to release: debts you’re no longer carrying shame over, relationships you’re energetically cutting cords from, patterns you’re finished reenacting. Burn or bury the list This physical act tells the Universe: “I’m done living from this version of myself.” In The Emotion Behind Money , we explore how inherited beliefs and emotional patterns repeat until they are consciously released. This ceremony is your line in the sand. End with intention Close with one powerful intention for 2026, aligned from your heart: “I choose a new flow of abundance.” “I trust that money comes to me with ease.” “I allow myself to receive the wealth I’ve been working toward.” As The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money reminds us: “The Universe responds to action.” Your ceremony is your spiritual action. Ready to Step Into 2026 Aligned, Clear & Empowered? If you’re craving deeper support with your financial reset, join me for my Emotions Behind Money Workshop in January. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to recalibrate your relationship with money, this is your moment. Let’s make 2026 the year your inner wealth and your financial reality finally match. You deserve abundance and you’re closer than you think. With love, alignment & a whole lot of possibility, Julie ✨
