Manifestation Techniques

How to:

1. You'll need a piece of paper and a small gift box.

2. Close your eyes and picture your ideal life. Ask yourself how you want to feel, living this life. Maybe it’s inspired, healthy, joyful, connected, abundant. Whatever resonates with you.

3. Now, on your piece of paper, write single words or sentences to describe each of the feelings. There’s no right or wrong way to do this. The key is to capture the emotions you want to experience with your dreams coming true.

4. Cut out each feeling or sentence, fold them up and place them in the gift box.

5. Label the box, “My Ideal Life.”

6. Hold the box in your hands. Close your eyes and imagine a bright white light shining down through your crown chakra (top of your head), into your heart, out through your hands and filling your box with Universal energy. Feel that energy and set an intention that your ideal life is on its way to you.

Keep the box by your bedside and whenever you feel drawn to, open it and read each note. As you do, really allow yourself to feel the emotion written on the paper. Let that feeling fill you up. Repeat step 6 before you put the box away.

Just remember to trust the process. Know that you’ve set things in motion for your highest good. Over time, you’ll notice your outer world starting to shift as you align more and more with the energy of your desired feelings. This method helps you become a magnet for the life you truly want.

Box of dreams and desires

This technique is a creative twist on the classic vision board. While a vision board is all about the pictures/words that represent your goals and dreams through visual reminders that spark excitement, the gift box method focuses on the emotions you want your future self to be experiencing. Emotions are powerful. They carry their own energy and vibration. By tuning into these feelings, you start to attract experiences that match that energy. For example, you might want to feel the happiness of buying your dream home, the excitement of travelling, the freedom of financial abundance, the peace of spiritual fulfilment. What are the feelings you’ll feel when you’re experiencing these in your life?

Top 4 Manifestation Techniques That Have Given Me Real Results

Let's start with the question on everyone's mind. How do you trust that things are unfolding exactly how you want them to, when you can't actually see any proof in your 3D reality? It can be somewhat overwhelming when you're putting in the work but not seeing it in your reality. Key is to remind yourself that what’s meant for you will always find its way. Holding on too tightly to specific outcomes or expectations is what blocks better possibilities or outcomes. When you surrender, that releasing of the tight hold will bring you to a place of inner peace and clarity, allowing solutions and guidance to reveal itself to you. When energy spent on resistance is now redirected to something more high vibrational, this becomes the catalyst to attracting more opportunities and blessings into your life.

Set your feeling-backed intention clearly using one of the methods below. Writing or speaking your intention accompanied with desired feelings will send out a resonance or frequency. Allow time for this energy to integrate into the universe, expand your field, and open new opportunities for you to receive. Place your trust and, most importantly, gratitude in the universe. Finally, get out of your own way. Relax and release any attachment to the outcome to allow your dreams to unfold in perfect divine timing.

Think about what you’d like to manifest and write it down in one sentence, in the present tense. An example could be, “I am grateful and happy that I’ve found my dream job." Now, the idea of the 33x3 method is to write this sentence down in your journal or a notebook 33 times each day for 3 days in a row. I do mine the day before, the day on, and the day after the full moon, as the moon is at its peak during these days.

The key to this is method is repetition and feeling. Writing it down reinforces the energy of that desire and allows it to sink into your subconscious. As you’re doing it, visualise yourself in your desired outcome and believe and feel the emotions associated with living this dream, as if it’s happening right now. You’re resonating at the frequency of your desires, and this will align and manifest it into reality for you.

After completing the three days of writing, release any attachments you have to the outcome while being open to any signs or synchronicities. Trust that the universe is bringing this desire into your reality in divine timing. The full moon is the perfect time to set powerful intentions, cleanse your energy and open your heart to the guidance of the universal. The moon’s rhythm reminds us that just like the moon, we are always evolving and shining in our own perfect time.

To get you started with any meditation, it’s important to find the right setting. I like to draw all the blinds closed to create darkness and sit crossed-legged on my bed. You could also sit on a straight-backed couch or chair with your feet on the ground. Find a spot that brings you peace and is comfortable and you can’t be disturbed. Find any short meditation you want to try (Insight Timer is a great app to find meditations, or even YouTube – just make sure they don’ have ads, or it’ll give you a scare when you’re meditating and it suddenly reverts to an ad!) The time limit is totally up to you. Before I start any meditation though, I like to ground myself by placing my feet on the ground and imagining roots coming out of them and into Mother Earth. Now, imagine a white light beaming down from the Universe, through the top of your head, filling your every cell with the highest, purest light of energy as it travels through your body, down into Mother Earth and beyond. Now, expand this column of energy out, clearing and cleansing your aura, the Earth and the universe, until you and everything around you is pure, white, universal light.

Now start your chosen manifestation visualisation meditation. Once you’ve finished, remember to release any attachment to the outcome to the Universe with something like, “I release this to the universe and trust that it’s happening in divine timing for me and for my highest good and the good of everyone around me.” Believe that your dreams and goals are on their way to you.

Once you ask for a blessing or a gift from the Universe, try not to focus on the details of exactly how it should unfold. Instead, tell the Universe what you want and ask to be surprised in ways that serve your highest good. An example could be that you want to somehow get a large sum of money that will allow you to leave your current employment, travel, open a business and live your dream life. This is how you might say it, “Universe, I am ready to welcome abundance into my life. Please guide me to receive a financial blessing and opportunities that allow me to leave my job, travel, start my own business, and create the life I dream of. I trust that you know what’s best for me, so I ask for this or something even better, in perfect timing and for my highest good. Thank you for supporting me and bringing opportunities my way. I trust in you. I am open to receive and grateful for all the blessings you send.”

Let the Universe surprise you with the “how.” After you’ve spoken your intention, focus on feeling trust and gratitude. Gratitude is key, while remaining open to synchronicities and unexpected opportunities. Sometimes, what you receive might look different to what you imagined, but is exactly what is needed. Just remembering to stay open and patient. This way, you allow the Universe to work its magic and bring your dreams into reality in the best possible way.

By keeping the lines of communication channels open between you and Source, you strengthen your connection to the Universe and Higher Self. Over time, you’ll begin to notice synchronicities that is a sign you're being heard.

Full moon 33x3 method

I consider the full moon a truly magical time. It has a magnetic quality to it, embodying transformative energy, connection to the universe and the divine feminine. Its light reveals to us what has been hidden and encourages us to let go of anything that no longer serves our growth. This lunar phase is a sacred invitation to pause, reflect and realign with our highest selves. When the moon is at its brightest, its energy is at its peak. Performing release and manifestation rituals during the full moon can be especially powerful, as we tap into this heightened energy to set intentions and call in our dreams. Aligning ourselves with the full moon’s energy amplifies our ability to heal, release and manifest the life we envision for ourselves.

Manifestation visualisation guided meditation

Incorporate a manifestation visualisation guided meditation to your daily meditation practice once in a while, whenever you feel called to. Meditation, in general, when practiced consistently, will gradually release lower energy states such as stress, worry and negative thoughts, and raise your vibration to make you more receptive to attracting positive experiences and outcomes. When you incorporate a manifestation visualisation guided meditation every now and then, it becomes a powerful tool to align yourself with your dream life. You are giving your brain a sneak peek of your future. The more clear the goals, the more motivated and confident you become about making them happen. The more you feel those good, positive emotions during meditation, the stronger the signal you’re sending out to the universe that you’re ready to receive what you desire.

Talking to the Universe

Talking to the Universe is similar to prayer, and is one of the simplest and most heartfelt manifestation techniques to practice. In doing so, we are opening a dialogue with the energy that connects all things. You don’t need any special rituals or tools. Simply speak from the heart. You can talk to the Universe out loud, in your mind or written in letter form when you journal. Express your concerns and ask for support in letting them go. Describe your hopes and dreams for the future by highlighting what you want to manifest, not what you don't want, as this keeps you in that vibration. This is a very important point. When you're in the vibration of joy and happiness of your dream life, it will attract that vibrational feeling to you. Always remember to end with gratitude.
