Bashar Formula
Also known as Highest excitement formula, Follow Your Excitement Formula, Bashar's 5-step formula, Follow Your Highest Passion
Each day, you scan your current options, pick the one that genuinely excites you most right now, act on it as fully as you can, and then let go of any specific expectation about where it leads.
Moderate The official Bashar YouTube channel (Bashar Channeled by Darryl Anka) has 194,000 subscribers and 6.9 million total views. The #bashar TikTok hashtag registers 24 million views. Multiple third-party explainer videos on YouTube were published in 2024-2025, and the formula has a dedicated page on bashar.org alongside a paid streaming platform (BasharTV), indicating an established niche community rather than a mainstream audience.
What it is
The Bashar Formula is a five-step decision-making practice popularized by channeler Darryl Anka, who attributes the teaching to a channeled entity called Bashar. The core idea is that excitement — not planning or willpower — is the most reliable signal for which action will put you on your intended life path. Practitioners are instructed to scan their available choices at any moment, choose the most genuinely exciting one, pursue it fully until they hit a real limit, and release attachment to any particular outcome. A fifth step asks practitioners to regularly examine and drop fear-based beliefs that dampen or block excitement from arising.
How to do it
- Identify your options right now and notice which one feels the most genuinely exciting — not the most logical or responsible, but the most alive.
- Act on that option to the best of your ability; go as far as you can with it until you reach a real limit or natural stopping point.
- Release any insistence on a specific outcome, result, or timeline — do not attach to how the path should unfold.
- Maintain a positive or neutral emotional state regardless of what happens, treating unexpected results as redirection rather than failure.
- Continuously examine beliefs that block or suppress excitement — identify fear-based or self-limiting beliefs and consciously replace them with beliefs that align with who you prefer to be.
What people use it for
- general life direction and purpose-finding
- manifestation and law of attraction practice
- career and creative work alignment
- reducing anxiety and overthinking
- personal growth and self-worth
- daily decision-making framework
Where it comes from
Channeled entity Bashar, transmitted through Darryl Anka starting in the mid-1980s. Anka, a Hollywood visual effects designer, began public channeling sessions around 1983. The formula has been his central teaching for decades and was codified into a five-step structure on the official bashar.org site. It gained renewed online traction with the 2020–2025 wave of manifestation content on TikTok and YouTube.
