What is the secret behind manifestation?
When meditating, my head bends forward and sometimes my whole body bends forward, is it okay or should I resist and put myself straight again?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: We sit straight and then we let go. In meditation if your head comes down, or your body bows down, never mind, it is okay, it is good.
Now, how do I manifest? When you put your intention, it definitely manifests. An intention, and a little bit of attention on it, then manifestation happens. This is called Sankalpa.
What it is that you want in your life? Make sure of it in your mind and put a gentle intention on it. Not crave or hold on to it. You have an intention and then just drop it and relax. It is will manifest.
There is a difference between intention and desire. Desire is clinging on to it.
Suppose you have to Gothenburg from here, if you keep saying, ‘I have to go to Gothenburg, I have to go, I have to go.’ When you drive with such feverishness you will not reach Gothenburg, you will reach somewhere else.
But if you just have an intention, I am going to Gothenburg and that is it; you drive, you stop here and there, you drive again, and you reach. This is intention. Desire is being constantly on it, and that only brings disappointment.
