George Lizos is a spiritual teacher, psychic healer, priest to Hellenic Polytheism the host of The Lit Up Lightworker and Can't Host podcasts, and the #1 bestselling author of Be The Guru, Lightworkers Gotta Work, Protect Your Light, Secrets of Greek Mysticism and Ancient Manifestation Secrets. He is the creator of Intuition Mastery School®, and his work has been featured in Goop, Mind Body Green, Popsugar, Soul & Spirit, Kindred Spirit, Spirit & Destiny, Watkin's Mind Body Spirit, Fate & Fortune, and The Numinous. George helps lightworkers to find their life purpose and work their light in real, palpable ways to create positive change in the world. He holds Bachelors and Masters degrees in Metaphysical Sciences, a BSc in Geography, MSc in Psychology, MSc in Management, a diploma in Acting and is a certified Trauma Specialist. Ancient Manifestation Secrets teaches a brand - new manifestation method of manifesting with the energy field! It’s the first book to claim that the law of attraction is not the most powerful law in the Universe and that not all desires can manifest. Instead, it draws from ancient Greek and Egyptian philosophy to introduce the 7 manifestation laws of the Universe, a framework for choosing the right desires to manifest, and the importance of taking inspired action rather than over - depending on the Universe. Rather than reiterating the usual manifestation practices, Ancient Manifestation Secrets introduces never - before - taught cognitive and energetic processes and meditations. Based on The Kybalion and Hermetic philosophy, the book puts forth a new, 5 - step manifestation process that challenges the prevalent 3 - step formula taught by most books (i.e. , Ask, Believe, Receive). Ancient Manifestation Secrets also disputes the common belief that negative emotions work against manifestation. Conversely, it incorporates inner work into the manifestation process and provides readers with both cognitive and energetic processes for expressing and transmuting their negative emotions, rather than repressing or denying them.  Ancient Manifestation Secrets covers:  • The 7 Hermetic Universal laws of manifestation  • A brand - new method of manifesting with the energy field  • Choosing desires that are aligned with your life purpose  • An eye - movement therapy process for releasing limiting beliefs  • A 10 - day manifestation challenge to manifest specific desires Get the book today! https://georgelizos.com/ancientmanifestationsecrets   Visit George’s website: https://georgelizos.com/ George’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/georgelizos/ My Law of Positivism Healing Oracle card deck: https://www.lawofpositivism.com/healingoracle.html Visit Law of Positivism: https://www.instagram.com/lawofpositivism/ Website: https://www.lawofpositivism.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawofpositivism/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lawofpositivism
