Why Clarity is the Missing Link Between Your Purpose and Prosperity

October 20, 2025 Melissa ConklingLeave a comment

You started your spiritual business thinking “This is it! I’m finally doing what I’m meant to be doing!”…so why does it still feel like you’re stuck in a fog, searching for the right path for your business?

You are not alone. Many purpose-driven entrepreneurs jump in head first, full of excitement to finally be doing what they love. Not long after, they realize they’re lacking clarity which holds them back from manifesting the prosperity and impact they desire.

Clarity isn’t about your branding. It isn’t about your message. It isn’t about your modality. Real clarity is about aligning your vision for your business on an inner and outer level. In this post, I’ll share what real clarity is, why it matters, how it opens the doors to manifesting the success you deserve…and how to create it.

What Happens When You Don’t Have Clarity

When you don’t have clarity in your business, it leads to confusion. You dive in knowing exactly what you want in your business, but as you move forward, you start to feel scattered, second-guessing yourself and your journey as an entrepreneur. You begin overthinking your offers, your message, and your skills. You rely heavily on other people’s input and adhere strictly to new strategies that promise you success.

This leads you away from your intuition, inner guidance, and your purpose. This, in turn, leads to inconsistent results in your business, which leads to even more frustration and confusion. It’s a vicious cycle that pulls you further and further from the purpose-driven business you envisioned when you began.

Maybe you end up moving forward in your business in a direction that feels ok, but not amazing. Eventually, it ends up feeling like a job instead of the fulfilling business you dreamt of. Maybe you begin to attract clients who aren’t a match for you. Maybe you get stuck in the “hustle” mentality so many entrepreneurs thrive on rather than the flow that actually feels natural for you.

Taking the time to find soul-aligned clarity in your business can make the difference between instant and ongoing success or years of confusion, frustration, and inconsistency. It can take you from bouncing from offer to offer, to finally finding a niche that fits you like a glass slipper.

The Power of Soul-Aligned Clarity

Soul-aligned clarity isn’t about your messaging or your branding. It’s not about having a perfectly-defined client avatar. And it’s definitely not about sacrificing your purpose for income or your income for your purpose. True clarity occurs when your external business – what you are offing to the world – aligns with your soul purpose…and when your subconscious mind believes it’s possible and safe for you to achieve. If any part of this equation is missing, it’ll only be a matter of time until your vision becomes cloudy again.

Once you have clarity, both consciously and subconsciously, it begins to act like a magnet to your desires. Clarity affects your ability to reach your goals just like the settings in your GPS. If your destination is vague and you only enter New York, you may find yourself hundreds of miles from where you want to go. If you enter Manhattan, New York, you may be closer, but still not quite there. But when you enter 350 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY, you end up right at the iconic Empire State Building.

Your vision for your business (or anything in life, for that matter) works the same. The more specific you are about where you want to go and what you want to accomplish, the easier it will be to get there.

How to Begin Finding Clarity

Now let’s get to the important question: How do you find this clarity?

Clarity is not something you’re born with. It’s not something that only arrives as if you get struck by a magical bolt of clarity (though that can happen, and does, when you learn to trust your intuition more…but that’s a blog for another day!) Clarity is something you can create with a little effort upfront, through some good old soul searching and intuitive journaling.

Practice #1: Intuitive Journaling

Begin by allowing your breath to slow down and relaxing your mind for a few moments. When you feel called, write at the top of the page in your journal: What do I feel called to create?

Allow the words to flow out onto the page. Resist the urge to edit or censor yourself. If an idea pops into your mind, write it down. It may not make sense right now, but it may later. Write for as long as you feel called to write. Your intuition will tell you when you’re done. You may write a simple, concise answer in 30 seconds, or you may write for several minutes. Trust the process.

Repeat this process with the question: What kinds of transformations light me up? These can be your own transformations or transformations you see in others. Again, trust your intuition on this. If it comes to mind, write it down.

Intuitive journaling invites you to explore these important questions in a way that allows your intuition to lead instead of logic or your ego. Most business coaches overlook these questions, instead encouraging you to focus entirely on a niche that they deem profitable or that your audience is already looking for. While this advice is great if you started your business just to make money, for purpose-driven entrepreneurs like you and me, following this advice can set your business back years. For people like us, feeling strongly about the transformations our clients experience drives us often as much or more than the money. It keeps us showing up on social media and for our email list to expand our business even further. It gives us fulfillment. It reminds us that we’re making an impact on the world, not only our bank account.

Practice #2: Exploring Your Passions and Gifts

The next step in gaining clarity for your purpose-driven business is to look at your passions and gifts. Very often, we put our passions on the back burner waiting until we have time to pursue them. Our gifts, on the other hand, can go totally unnoticed because they are skills that are so natural for us that we don’t understand that not everyone can do what we can do. While every passion and gift doesn’t necessarily need to be part of your business, infusing some aspects of them in your business will make it more fun and easier for you, which will keep you committed in the long run.

To explore your passions and gifts, in your journal, brainstorm all of the tasks or hobbies or other interests you have that you enjoy. Again, if it comes to mind, right it down. When you’ve written them all down, look back and circle which of these you can totally lose yourself in for hours. For me, it’s writing, reading, and being creative. This isn’t just about what you are good at. It’s about what you love to do. For example, I’m really good at math. I took calculus in college for fun, and got an A, but the idea of a career that revolves around math bores me to tears just thinking about it. And you didn’t start your business to be bored to tears or to do something you don’t really enjoy, right? So look at what you really love to do.

A great way to get some outside perspective on this if you’re feeling stuck is to ask a few people who know you really well what you’ve been doing when you appear happiest. I asked my mom and my sister this question separately, and they both gave the same answer: when making stuff (sewing, crafts, baking, writing, etc.) and when dancing. Admittedly, I don’t dance nearly enough anymore and have never felt called to bring this into my business, but I do make stuff in and out of my business all the time and I love it. I can get lost for hours creating graphics and landing pages and writing content, just as much as I can with writing for pleasure.

Practice #3 – Crafting Your Vision

Now that you have more clarity on what you feel called to create and the transformations you love to see, write a quick paragraph describing your vision for your life and business three years from now. Incorporate as many senses as you can. Get as specific as you can. But remember, some of these details may change as you grow and evolve, and that’s totally ok. This vision will help you begin to embody this future version of you now so you can manifest it faster and easier.

Revisit this vision often. Read it. Visualize it as though it’s happening now. When you gain more clarity on any details, add them in. If something no longer feels aligned for you, remove it. This is your vision and you can edit it as you feel called. That said, if you find you are constantly changing directions, this may be a sign of subconscious resistance.

From Clarity to Cashflow

Once you’re clear on where you want to go, it’s time to get your subconscious mind on board for the journey. Your subconscious programming is essentially your current “default” settings. Your beliefs, feelings, habits, and your ability to visualize, which are all rooted in your subconscious mind, are responsible for where you are now and maintaining your current status quo. More often than not, these beliefs, feelings, and habits are not aligned with your new vision for your life and business, which causes some bumps, roadblocks, and unanticipated detours.

Hypnosis can help you to reprogram your subconscious mind so it aligns with your new destination, which allows you to achieve your goals faster and easier. Hypnosis can also help you get past any overthinking that may be obscuring your clarity in the first place.

While having 100% clarity is ideal, it usually doesn’t happen right away or all at once. That does not mean you can’t get started. More clarity will reveal itself along each step of your journey, so it’s important to take the first step. You now have a better idea of what direction you are heading, and you can always make adjustments as you go. Waiting for perfect clarity is a sneaky way your ego gets you to stay right where you are now – in your comfort zone. So take the first step and watch as more clarity comes forward. Each time it does, your trust in yourself, your intuition, and your purpose will grow.

As your self-trust and intuition grow and your clarity increases, your vision for your business will become more and more detailed. You’ll be able to envision yourself achieving your goals, working with your ideal clients, and making an impact on the world. When you embody this energy, you’ll become a magnet to clients and opportunities, and the prosperity and fulfillment that come along with them.

Mastering Manifestation: Unleashing the Power of Your Subconscious Mind

August 28, 2024 Melissa ConklingLeave a comment

I was introduced to manifestation and the law of attraction in the mid-2000’s, when, like millions of others around the globe, I saw the book and movie “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Also, like millions of others, I was in awe at the possibilities this theory opened up for me, yet I was still a bit skeptical. But I couldn’t help but wonder, if it worked for all these people, would it work for me too? When I set my mind to anything, I nearly always excel at it, so I assumed this would be the same. So, I began my quest to master the art of manifestation. I went about it in the same why I would with any other skill or interest: by learning as much as possible and perfecting all of the necessarily practices and methods in order to manifest my desires.

What I soon discovered was a seemingly endless supply of theories, universal laws, techniques, and practices, all claiming to be the one necessary step that would make all the difference. Over the years, I’ve read countless books on manifestation. I’ve taken months-long courses. For months, I spent an hour each day listening to recordings that promised to rewire my mind to manifest with ease. And I couldn’t tell you how many 7-, 14-, and 30-day manifestations challenges I’ve done over the years, all in an effort to become a master at manifestation. More often than not, after each new discovery, I would be raving about how amazing it is and how quickly I was manifesting my desires. I would revel in the excitement of finally figuring it all out as my desires came to me with ease. Yet just as quickly, this new-found power would fizzle out and I’d be disappointed yet again, wondering what I had done wrong.

Then, shortly after my 40th birthday, I experienced a distinct shift. Only days after becoming an affiliate with a direct sales company, I saw a team member share about an upcoming training on hypnotic marketing. Instantly intrigued, I signed up without an inkling of the journey this quick three-day training would ignite. As I learned about hypnosis and how the subconscious mind works, I began to see how our subconscious thoughts and beliefs affect what happens in our lives. I wondered what role it played in our ability (or inability in many cases) to manifest our desires. I made the decision to learn as much as I could about hypnosis and to become a certified hypnotist some day.

Not long after, I participated in my first group hypnosis session for manifestation and my suspicions were confirmed: Manifestation depends greatly on the subconscious mind. Throughout my training as a hypnotist, I learned how hypnosis can help you overcome limiting beliefs and build more confidence. I learned how it can help you maintain a more positive mindset, release self-sabotaging patterns, and let go of subconscious blocks that are holding you back from manifesting all you desire in life. I learned how hypnosis can help you visualize the life of your dreams so you can make it a reality. Yet no one was explaining how or why this worked and I felt intuitively that a piece of the puzzle was missing.

Even with hypnosis to help me with the manifestation itself, I still wasn’t sure what I wanted to manifest in my life. As a direct sales affiliate, our team leaders and mentors told us what the next milestones were, so I set my financial goals based on reaching these thresholds instead of determining what would afford me the lifestyle I want. I was trying to manifest a perfect wedding and marriage with a partner who was unemployed, unmotivated, and who I was not attracted to. I was imagining myself working for a certain company, but without a clear idea of what I would do there. While I now had the tool of hypnosis, I was still striving to manifest my desires with my ego and conscious mind and aiming to achieve goals that were never mine to begin with. I was still trying to “do” manifestation perfectly and master all the practices and techniques I was told would help. I was still constantly looking for signs and messages to validate or confirm that I was on the right path, even when I knew deep down that I wasn’t. So, my manifestations were always short-lived.

While hypnosis is a powerful tool to help you manifest, it cannot help you until you are clear on what you want to manifest and why. And it can’t help you until you choose a new way to manifest. A way that is remarkably different from the standard methods of setting and achieving goals. A way that allows you to thrive instead of strive. A way that aligns with your soul instead of your ego. A way that relies on the power of your subconscious mind instead of your conscious mind.

You may have already noticed some areas where you are trying to force your manifestation. Here is a quick assessment to see if you are relying too heavily on your conscious mind to attract your desires.

Take this 5-question self-assessment to see if you are stuck in conscious-mind manifestation:

Are your goals 100% your own and aligned with what you truly desire in your life right now?
Are you relying heavily on affirmations – especially those created by someone other than you – and using affirmations that don’t feel true to you yet?
Do you find yourself constantly trying to push yourself to make your desires come to fruition faster, thinking up ways to achieve them, and trying new manifestation techniques, rather than allowing yourself to go with the flow and receive?
Are you overthinking your manifestation methods and always trying to do everything absolutely perfectly?
Do you find yourself constantly looking for signs over and over again to confirm or validate your desires?

If you answered yet to any of these questions, you are likely still caught in your head – at least a little bit – when it comes to manifestation. It’s time to begin using the power of your subconscious mind for manifestation instead.

6 Steps to Spirit Guided Writing

March 20, 2024October 20, 2025 Melissa ConklingLeave a comment

Spirit Guided Writing is a unique method of connecting with your higher self, spirit guides, and the Universe to improve your creative process from start to finish. As a spiritual seeker, you may have heard of channeled, intuitive, or automatic writing as a means of connecting with the divine for personal growth.

While Spirit Guided Writing incorporates these techniques, its focus is on your creative journey, from receiving inspiration, through the writing itself, all the way to sharing your message with the world. With your spirit team advising your project, your writing becomes more authentic, fulfilling, and aligned with your purpose.

Spirit Guided Writing builds trust and confidence in your writing, which makes the creative process faster, easier, and more enjoyable. The best part about it is that anyone can learn it by following these six steps.

The Secret to Manifestation is there’s not just one secret!

January 7, 2024 Melissa ConklingLeave a comment

If you’ve been studying and practicing manifestation for a while, you have probably run into more than one person or group or theory claiming that it is the missing link that will have all your desires streaming to you like a waterfall.

In Rhonda Byrne’s “The Secret,” the secret isn’t some magical ingredient for manifestation. It is the fact that manifestation and the law of attraction exist at all! However, simply knowing about it does not necessarily activate it. You still need to do some inner work to get your powers of manifestation flowing.

After years of absorbing as much as I could about the law of attraction, with practices ranging from months-long programs with hours of content each week yet little to put into action to overly simplified methods of writing your desire over and over again, I had the idea to create my own manifestation ritual.

The result was a morning journaling practice that took the overwhelm out of manifesting. As I began piecing it together, I slowly realized that there is a rather simple equation to manifest anything – clarity on your true desires on a subconscious level + energetic vibration that matches those desires = manifesting it into your life.

What is great about this equation is that it can be achieved in a number of ways!

For me, it’s through my morning journaling practice, which I share in The Creative Alchemist’s Manifestation Method.

I invite you to take these practices and make them your own!

To walk you through these practices, I created a 10-Day Manifestation Challenge you can start the moment you are ready to create the life of your dreams.

The Creative Alchemist’s Manifestation Method is Now Available!

December 27, 2023 Melissa ConklingLeave a comment

The Creative Alchemist’s Manifestation Method is more than another journal. It is more than a fancy notebook. It is more than a workbook. It is a simple, yet powerful daily tool to help you create the life of your dreams. It is a process for attracting all that you desire. The concepts and practices used in this journaling method are not new, but the interweaving of them is my own creation.

After years of studying and practicing the Law of Attraction, I got fed up with the overcomplication of a law that is always at work. With so many “secrets” out there, I was overwhelmed. So, I compiled a list of exercises that resonated with me the most. After trial and error, this list turned into a quick 10–15-minute daily practice. Something easily repeatable that hits all the right spots.

A few weeks into this new method of manifesting, I started to manifest my desires faster than I’ve ever experienced. Unexpected money and new clients appeared out of the woodwork, a new relationship began sooner than I let myself hope for, and I received an invitation to co-author my first book! It was so powerful; I knew I had to share it with you!

The Creative Alchemist’s Manifestation Method is now available on Amazon! Get your copy at https://amzn.to/48zHODY 💜

My Latest Creation is on Its Way!!

December 5, 2023December 5, 2023 Melissa ConklingLeave a comment

When your intuition calls, do you answer?

It’s been a while since I posted here…but not because I’ve entirely disappeared. Rather, I’ve been busy on a different creative project!!

One of the amazing, yet unpredictable, things about connecting with spiritual guidance and intuition is when it moves you in a new direction. For the first half of the year, I focused strongly on connecting with my guides and learning how to use this guidance in all aspects of my life, but most significantly, within my writing and creativity.

In September, not long after I ran the Self-Hypnosis Masterclass on Creativity, I was called to dedicate my time to a new creative project. It’s something that I had on a back burner for a bit, but by the end of September, this idea became rather impatient and insisted that now is its time.

So I’ve been busy writing…the book came together rather easily. And then finally, on Friday afternoon, I sent my book to my copy editor 🤩

This is the final piece of a project that began on a whim.It’s based on idea for a new morning routine that turned into a powerful manifestation ritual. After keeping it to myself for over a year, earlier this fall I had the idea:

Turn this ritual into a journal!! It’s part book, explaining the ritual, part journal to put the ritual into practice.

Now I’m one step closer to publishing my very first solo book, and I am so excited to be so close to finishing this project and sharing it with you!

And the process has been eye-opening in so many ways. It’s helping me become better at guiding others through my process. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that the leap from creation mode to completion mode is often the biggest test of all.

It’s when doubt and fear rages the loudest. It’s when we are tempted to stay in creation mode for longer than we need to because it’s fun and it feels good.

But we can’t keep creating one thing forever. Eventually, we have to take the next step and finish the damn thing. And then, we have to share it with the world. That’s the part where our creativity makes its impact. That’s the part when our creativity reaches its full potential.

This project’s potential would never be realized if I wrote it and kept it in my google docs to never see the light of day.

So I took that next step. I finished my edts and sent it off to my copy editor. And I know it will be published sooner than I ever realize, because this idea won’t let me hide it away anymore. It’s as though it has its own spirit and soul and personality.

I cannot wait for you to meet it!

3 Ways Spirit May Be Sending You Messages Right Now

July 6, 2023July 6, 2023 Melissa ConklingLeave a comment

It probably won’t surprise you too much to learn that I read quite a few books on spirit guides. From well-known mediums like James Van Praagh to relative newcomers such as Yamile Yemoonyah, and all of their different methods, philosophies and experiences fascinate me. But one thing always stands out: for most of them, connecting with their guides came easily. It was either a part of their life for as long as they can remember or it began spontaneously. While honing and understanding their gifts undoubtedly took time and practice, connecting to their guides in the first place always sounds somewhat effortless.

My experience, however, couldn’t be more different. For me, it wasn’t something that just happened as if by magic one night. It wasn’t something I grew up doing (at least not that I was aware of!) And it wasn’t something that came to me as soon as I started trying.

It was something that took a lot of time and effort. It was something that took a lot of trial and error. Above all, it was something that took a lot of patience and persistence. Eventually it paid off…and then some! This is exactly why I know deep down that we can all connect with our guides on our own, without the use of other intuitives or mediums. It’s also why I believe most people are already receiving messages from their guides, but they just don’t realize it yet.

Here are a few tips on how your guides may be sending you signs and what to look for as you begin your spirit guide journey.

#1 – Recurring Visions, Sound or Other Sensations

For at least a year before I first officially met my first guide, I’d been having glimpses of the same scene during my meditations and intuitive listening practice…a cabin somewhere in the mountains. I could see the gravel path leading up to its front porch and smell the smoke coming from its chimney. I could even feel the brisk mountain air. And it made absolutely no sense. Growing up in Connecticut, I spent a lot of time in the White Mountains of New Hampshire growing up…and I knew it wasn’t there. It was some place new and unfamiliar. I had no idea what to think about these visions and could have easily dismissed it.

Instead, I always noted it down in my journal. When I met my guide Frank, a rancher from Wyoming, the first thing he said to me was that he had been trying to reach me for a while. I immediately knew these visions were messages from him and that this was Frank’s cabin. In fact, in the meditation I used that very first time, it guided me to envision a house somewhere…and that cabin is what I visualized. So I first met Frank in his cabin!!

So don’t dismiss those seemingly imaginary visions you may be receiving!

#2 – New & Sudden Callings of the Heart

Callings of the heart don’t need to be huge or romantic gestures. They can be as simply as an unrelenting urge to do something new or that you haven’t done in decades. And so often, these little acts lead us to where we are meant to be next. And they are often planted in our mind by our guides.

The more I began connecting with my higher self, developing my intuition, and attempting to connect with my spirit guides, the more I kept having one thought come up over and over and over again: Get out in nature and be near the water. It seemed to make no sense. And even though I live fairly close to the water, it also seemed irresponsible to focus on that rather than my business. But it came up so often, that I had to follow this nudge.

It wasn’t long before I realized that when I am near the water or out in the woods, my intuition and connection to spirit is by far the strongest. To this day, my most profound connections with my spirit guides have been when I’m out on my morning walks by the water. I now how no doubt that this was a message from my guides to get into an environment where my intuitive abilities are heightened.

Resist the urge to ignore these callings or to put them off for a “better” time – they may be signs from your guides that are leading you to the perfect next step in your journey.

#3 – Sudden Knowings

This is definitely one of the strangest, yet most awesome things about connecting with spirit guides. So often, it is as though I suddenly know something I never knew before. It happens a lot. Whether it is recognizing a link between two things that I never saw before, like when I realized how our mind connects with the spiritual realm, or when I’m suddenly able to map out my next book in under an hour, it is clear to me that this knowledge is coming from something bigger than just me. At first, I chalked it up to the idea of “spiritual downloads” people often talk about.

Now, I know it is slightly different than some random idea filtering through my mind unexpectedly. As I’ve learned to trust these knowing and the messages from my guides, I can now ask for specific guidance and know that I will receive the perfect information for whatever project I’m working on at any given time. One guide shared the outline for my entire spirit guide course one afternoon in December. Another gave me the format for the Channeled Writing workshop I ran for my coach a couple weeks ago. And time after time, they guide me on what to share on social media and in my blog on any given day. The information is always clear and concise…and almost always includes concepts I’d never even thought of before!

So when you suddenly know something – and know it’s true deep down – don’t question whether it’s true or not. Instead, trust that it’s a message from your spirit team!

A Final Note – Keep Looking!!

Now, because spirit guides can communicate in so many ways, there are certainly many more things you may have been overlooking…things such as recurring numbers like 11:11 or 3:33, receiving different signs such as seeing dragonflies all over the place suddenly (for me last summer it was deer…I saw them everywhere, very up close and personal!), or recurring dreams. Our guides are persistent, so they will continue to send us there messages until we receive them. They want us to receive them because they are meant to help us fulfill our purpose in life.

So don’t give up and always keep an eye out for what messages you may be missing!

Spiritual Awakenings: Volume 1 is now available!

April 27, 2023April 28, 2023 Melissa ConklingLeave a comment

It’s finally here!! My very first published writing in a book collaboration on Spiritual Awakenings.

Remembering The Truth of Your Soul
Spiritual Awakenings are the pivotal moments in our lives when we remember that we are so much more than our bodies; we are infinite and eternal beings. We have always, and will always, exist.
The stories in this book share the spiritual awakenings of the authors, illuminating the uniqueness, and the shared experiences, we have as we awaken to the truth of our existence. In it, you’ll find guidance and a sense of connection to all that there is.

An excerpt from my chapter:

“Nature was always where I felt most at home. When other kids spent their weekends at slumber parties or playing video games or doing whatever the “normal” kids did, my weekends and afternoons were quite often spent with my dad at the tree farm. While my dad would be planting or mowing or shearing trees, I’d be off in the woods playing. Most often in the grove of trees my sister and I named the enchanted forest, searching for the fairies. Determined to find the source of the mysterious sounds and magical spirits I could always sense in the woods.

There was an innately spiritual element to the tree farm, though I didn’t know it as “spiritual” at the time. Rather, I saw it as magical. There was a power there that many people, especially my dad, experienced often. It revealed itself in mystical, otherworldly ways. The overgrown tree my dad would no longer shear because he saw it glowing on some evenings, though lab tests showed nothing out of the ordinary about the tree. A mysterious and irresistible force drawing him to the massive oak tree that stood at the edge of my enchanted forest that made him nervous. Events like these just happened there.

And the magic can still be felt. Visiting the tree farm last year for the first time in decades, I realized as an adult how different the air is there. It’s as though the spiritual elements of nature live actively in this plot of land. This magic lived inside me as well, as a spiritual side that grew throughout my life just under the surface. It made me feel safe, as though the world itself was always looking out for me.

At some point in what I now estimate to be my middle school years, however, the sense of safety began to give way and fear took over. Not a noticeable, anxiety filled fear. Just a cloud that wasn’t there beforehand.”
