The Differences Between Manifesting a Specific Person vs. Manifesting a New Love Interest

Are you longing for love and a healthy, fulfilling relationship? It is no secret that you can use the power of manifestation to call in love and relationships in your life. Whether you're seeking to rekindle a past flame or welcome a fresh connection into your life, manifesting relationships comes with its own challenges. Many people are wondering: What are the differences between manifesting a specific person and new love? In this article, you will learn what the details of each option are and how to approach them so you can successfully call in the love of your life.

What is a specific person manifestation? 

Before we dive deeper into this subject, you may be wondering, “Is it really possible to manifest a specific person?”. And the answer is: YES! 

What does that look like? Manifesting a specific person means you are thinking of someone specific when manifesting a relationship, a person you have either already met or are aware of. This could be your ex-partner, a person you’ve been in a situationship or friends-with-benefits with, a friend you fell in love with, someone you dated briefly, etc. 

Manifesting a relationship with someone new

If there is no one specific you’re interested in and you’d like the choice of your future partner to be up to the Universe/Infinite Intelligence, you can manifest a healthy, loving relationship with someone new. When you’re manifesting a relationship with someone new, you are connecting to the energy of a person you have not met yet (or you may have, but aren’t intentionally choosing them as a partner to manifest). 

The Differences

1. Past Story vs. Fresh Start
   

   When you’re deciding to manifest a specific person, as opposed to manifesting someone new, in most cases you have a previous history with them that may influence you on your journey to manifest the relationship you desire. There may be negative past stories active in your subconscious mind that you need to bring into alignment with your end goal. Someone who manifests a new person basically starts their manifestation off with a blank canvas and may find it to be easier because there are no past stories that need to be reframed. 
   
   

2. Creating a New Version of Your Person 

   
   One aspect of rewriting the story of a past relationship with someone you know is that you will be able to recreate them according to how you want to experience them in your desired relationship. Here, you’re not just changing the nature of the relationship, but you’re actually shaping the identity of the specific person you’re interested in.
   
   Considering the manifestation of someone new, as you are working with a blank canvas, you have a lot of freedom in deciding who it is you want to be with - down to their identity, physical appearance, and personality traits. You’re basically “designing” a person without being affected by judgments from the past. 
   
   Overall, you have to completely let go of any former versions and states of consciousness of your person in order to be able to create a new version. Because these past stories don’t exist with a new person, you avoid the work of recreating the characteristics of the person. 
   
   

3. Experiencing Echoes 

   
   Due to the nature of a specific person manifestation, which contains past stories as mentioned above, it is possible that old beliefs may transpire in your physical reality even though you have started focusing on the new version of your person and relationship. Even though you have begun using techniques and releasing resistance, there is a chance that undesired circumstances persist for a while before your 3D reality changes. In the realm of manifestation, this is called echo or purging.
   
   Again, for those seeking new love, this is not the case, because there are no past impressions that have shaped your view of the person or relationship. However, there is an exception. Although there is no past story pertaining to a specific person being reflected back, it is possible that unprocessed trauma from past relationship experiences may be reflected back from the new person, until the trauma is processed, for example with the help of inner child work, forgiveness, or trauma work. The thing about this is that in the beginning, the relationship may seem great, but after a few months, these existing patterns can resurface.
   
   That’s why in both cases, it is very beneficial to ask oneself whether there are still some wounds, patterns, or traumas that may need to be processed and healed. Forgiveness is especially crucial for those who’ve had multiple negative experiences with their specific person.
   
   

4. Surrendering

   
   Those who manifest a specific person tend to have a more difficult time in the last phase of their manifestation journey, when it comes time to surrender. People who manifest a new person usually don’t experience this type of lack because there isn’t yet a person they may miss or long for. They may miss the feeling of being in a relationship, but because they don’t have the face of a specific person on their mind, they tend to fare better with detaching from the outcome during the receiving phase.

Overall, the journey of manifesting love presents distinct pathways: manifesting a specific person or welcoming a new love interest into your life. While manifesting a specific person involves navigating past stories and shaping their identity anew, manifesting someone new offers a fresh start, free from past impressions. Each approach comes with its challenges and rewards, from releasing old patterns to surrendering to the Universe's flow. Ultimately, whether rekindling an old flame or igniting a new one, the key lies in self-reflection, healing, and unwavering faith in the manifestation process.
