Some people like to keep a manifestation journal. If you plan on doing this more than once, consider starting with a fresh notebook to keep all of your manifestations in one place. If you want to get the vibe right, light some incense or candles. Dim the lights if you’d like. If you’re doing this at home (which is ideal), clean the room if it’s dirty or disorganized.
For example, you can totally try manifesting “a best friend,” but you may benefit from focusing on “a male friend who will support and encourage me” or, “an empathetic companion who will alleviate my loneliness. ” The idea here is that the less ambiguity there is between you and your object of desire, the easier it will be to attract that thing to you. You can manifest objects, people, relationships, career goals, and everything in between. However, the bigger the intention, the harder it will be to manifest. If you’re new to this, try manifesting something small, like a good grade on a test or a day off work.
Imagine your goal or item in three dimensions. Picture it as a still image, as well as a moving image. Picture yourself interacting with it. What does it smell like? What does it feel like? All of this is crucial information. If you can’t picture anything, it might mean that your intention isn’t specific enough. Spend a few more minutes really thinking through what you want.
“I want to find the engineering job of my dreams. ” “I am going to tell my crush how I feel and sweep them off of their feet. ” “Can my anxiety go away so that I can socialize and make friends more easily?”
You can write out the exact same thing you just said out loud, or rephrase your goal if you’ve got additional clarity based on what you’ve said out loud. Write positively in the present tense—what you’re manifesting will happen in your lifetime, whether it’s 5 minutes or 50 years from now! For example, if you said, “I want to find the engineering job of my dreams,” you can totally write that down. You might also write: “I believe that I can find an engineering job that fulfills me. ” “Can I become the chemical engineer that I’ve always wanted to be?”
This form of manifestation can reveal truths you never would have uncovered otherwise. This can help with other kinds of manifestation, or work as a kind of manifestation on its own.
This type of manifesting can help you picture exactly what needs to happen in between now and the exact moment you achieve your goal. It can also help you identify important moments when they actually happen! If you were scripting a promotion, you might start, “Boss: So, what is it exactly that you want? Me: Look, I’ve been here for 2 years now and I’ve never had a raise. I think I’ve demonstrated my value…”
Continue to use your affirmation or mantra when you need a pep talk, when you meditate, or when you do yoga. This kind of manifestation can help you reaffirm your goal and focus your energy on precisely what you want.
This can encourage positive thinking and help you rewire your feelings and thoughts as you sleep. This is also a great way to push out negative thoughts, doubts, and confusion surrounding the thing you want.
If you do have doubt, encourage yourself to have faith. Faith is the bridge between disbelief and hope, and it can curb negative thoughts that will interfere with your dream.
The laws of attraction can only do so much—you have to meet the universe halfway by taking the steps you can to achieve the things you want!
Focusing too much on whether the manifestation will work or not can also cause you to doubt yourself. This is going to make your manifestation less likely to come true, so stop thinking about it.
