Manifestation–which goes hand-in-hand with the Law of Attraction–is the practice of consciously tuning your energy to the frequency of your desires, thus attracting more experiences into your life that match this energetic frequency.
So how exactly does this work?
Take a moment to notice how you’re feeling right now. What’s the dominant feeling in your body? Maybe you’re in a state of curiosity and knowledge-seeking. Maybe you’re feeling a little bored. Maybe you’re content and at peace. Or maybe life feels a little shaky right now, and you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress and worry as a result.
Now, imagine that you have a bubble around you. This is your energetic field. That dominant feeling you possess is also the current dominant energetic frequency of this field.
So if you’re currently feeing content and peaceful, your energetic bubble is vibrating at the frequency of contentment and peace.
If you’re stressed and worried, then these are the feelings taking up your energetic field.
You may have heard the phrase, “What you put out, you get back.” This is also the foundational law (The Great Law, or Law of Cause and Effect) for the 12 Laws of Karma: The energy you put out into the world is what comes back to you, whether you’re conscious of it or not.
This law applies to your energetic field. Let’s say you have a great family and a beautiful home, but no matter how much you have, it’s never enough. If “never enough” (i.e. lack and scarcity) is your dominant vibration, you’ll constantly attract experiences that center around never having enough.
But if you embody the energy of gratitude and abundance, you attract experiences that bring you even more reasons to feel grateful and abundant.
So in manifestation, you’re consciously tuning your energetic frequency to match the vibration of what you want to attract.
If you want to attract romantic love, you can emit the energy of love and connection, before that perfect partner has entered your life. If you want to attract financial prosperity, you can embody the energy of already being wealthy and abundant, even before you see any changes to your bank account.
By matching your vibration to these good-feeling things, you become a magnet for the very thing you want to show up in your life.

Manifestation Games
Abundance Checks
Abundance checks (or cheques) are blank checks that you can use to aid you in manifesting financial prosperity. You can find free digital abundance checks online, create your own, or use checks from your own checkbook for this practice.
On your check, you’ll write the amount of money you want to manifest and put your own name on the payee line. You’ll also date it for either today’s date or a date in the future. On the memo line, you can write down what this money is for (i.e. “Dream home”) or why you’re receiving this money (“For being your beautiful, authentic self”).
Finally, where is this money coming from? Sign the check from the Universe. If you’re using a free digital abundance check, the signature line may already come pre-filled.
Once your check is filled out, know that your manifestation is done. The money is coming. You can release your worries and align with the positive feelings of having this money right now.
Here are some ways you can use your abundance check to amplify your manifestations:
- Store it in your wallet, and each time you see your check in there, feel all the positive emotions of having that amount of money right now.
- Hang it up on a bulletin board and take some time to look at it each day. Visualize the experience of receiving this amount of money, and tune your energy to the frequency of pure abundance.
- Place it in a drawer, a lockbox, or somewhere safe. Surrender your desires to the universe, and walk forward in faith and trust.

Pillow Method For Manifestation
The directions to follow for the pillow method are fairly simple and straightforward:
Write an affirmation on a piece of paper and place that paper under your pillow for a set amount of days. Let that affirmation be the last thing you think about as you fall asleep, allowing it to sink into your subconscious brain. Let go, surrender control, and allow the Universe to deliver your manifestation into your physical experience.
The affirmation you use for this practice is going to be what I call a Future Pacing Affirmation.
These are affirmations in which you state that what you want to manifest is already yours.
For instance, if you want to manifest financial prosperity, you might write something like, “Financial abundance continually flows my way through multiple streams of income.” You could also write, “I am financially free with a limitless abundance of wealth and prosperity.”
Here are the exact directions to follow. To learn more about this manifestation game and get some tips for how to make it work, be sure to check out my full article here.
- Decide what you want to manifest.
- Create a powerful future pacing affirmation rooted in your desire. Write this affirmation on a piece of paper.
- Place the piece of paper under your pillow.
- Before you fall asleep at night, visualize having your desire in the present moment, feeling all the positive emotions of having what you want to manifest.
- Continue for 7 to 10 days, or until it feels right to remove it.
- Let go. Surrender control to the Universe. Trust. Receive.
55×5 Manifestation Method
The 55×5 (also written as 5×55 or 555) Manifestation Method is another manifestation game that’s fairly straightforward: it simply requires you to choose an affirmation, then write down that affirmation 55 times in a row for 5 days straight.
The affirmation you choose is going to be another future pacing affirmation, like the one I described above. Specifically, you’re going to focus on something that you want to manifest soon and phrase this affirmation as if it’s already come true.
Here are a few examples:
- I am so happy and grateful for the extra $1,000 I received this week!
- I’m so grateful the sellers accepted my offer on my dream house!
- I can’t believe I’m going on my dream vacation to Hawaii!
So using the first example above, on the first day, you’ll write this sentence 55 times in a row (in one sitting): “I am so happy and grateful for the extra $1,000 I received this week!”
On day two, you’ll again write that same sentence 55 times in a row in one sitting.
Days 3, 4, and 5: same thing.
The key here is to allow yourself to feel all the positive emotions as if your desired manifestation has already true. So if you’re affirming that you received $1,000 this week, vibrate at the frequency of financial prosperity and abundance. See if you can carry this high vibration with you throughout your day.
To learn more about this powerful manifesting practice, plus get examples of 55×5 manifestation affirmations you can use as well as extra tips and tricks, check out my full guide to the 55×5 Manifestation Method.
And if you’re looking for help getting started, check out the 55×5 Manifestation Method Worksheet, which gives you the opportunity to print and handwrite your affirmations or type directly into the PDF editable document. This easy-to-use worksheet gets powerful results and is the perfect addition to your manifestation practice.
369 Method
The 369 Method is a simple yet effective manifestation game that utilizes the power of journaling, affirmations, and your own powerful vibration.
To practice this manifestation method, choose an affirmation based on what you want to manifest, then write down this affirmation three times in the morning, six times in the afternoon, and nine times in the evening. The affirmation you use will be another future pacing affirmation.
Here are a few examples of the types of affirmations you might use:
- I feel joyful and thankful now that I’m driving my dream car!
- My heart is filled with gratitude for the 10 new clients I signed this month.
- I truly appreciate the extra $5,000 I received in my bank account.
Repeat this exercise for at least 21 days in order to truly maximize your results.
Again, the key here is to allow yourself to feel the positive feelings of having your desired manifestation in your life right now. So if your affirmation states that you received an extra $5,000 in your bank account this week, then allow yourself to feel the abundant energy of having this money right now. Carry this feeling with you not just when you’re writing your affirmation but throughout your entire day.
By continuously vibrating at the frequency of your desire for 21 days, this vibration is more likely to become your vibrational set point. You’ll no longer have to strive to feel financially abundant because it’ll be part of your foundational energy.
To learn more about the 369 method and why this manifestation game is so powerful, check out my in-depth guide.
Manifesting With Candles
Candles can be a powerful addition to your manifestation practice, as fire represents power and your inner light. Candles can also create a feeling of calm and inner serenity, allowing you to release negative energy and open yourself up to receiving.
When you first start incorporating candles into your manifestation practice, it’s best to use a brand new candle specifically chosen for this purpose. You can continue to use this candle for manifesting, but try to keep it as a dedicated manifestation candle.
Below, you’ll find the steps to follow to incorporate candles into your manifestation ritual. To learn what color of candle you should use depending on what you want to manifest, check out my article on candle colors for manifestation.
- Find a quiet, safe spot where you won’t be interrupted. If you have a sacred space or meditation table, this is ideal.
- Start with a brief meditation to create a feeling of calm within. You can either light your candle before you start meditating or right after.
- Start visualizing what exactly you want to manifest. See it in your mind’s eye. As you visualize, feel all the positive emotions of having this thing in the present moment.
- Now, you’re going to set your intention. What do you want to manifest? You might start by saying, “Dear Universe . . .” Be clear about what you want. Remember to express sincere gratitude for all that you have and all that’s on its way to you right now.
- Then, let it go. You might visualize your intention as a paper lantern or balloon flying higher and higher up into the sky until it disappears. This represents letting go of your desire and trusting the Universe to take care of you.
Manifesting With Essential Oils
When used correctly, essential oils can be another powerful addition to your manifesting practice. And the best thing is, you don’t actually have to do a lot of work when you’re using them; the essential oils will do most of the work for you.
Your main job is to be intentional.
So whether you’re using them in a diffuser, wearing them topically (when safe), or rubbing a little bit of oil on a dollar bill, make sure you set a clear intention when you’re working with them.
I have a full guide to manifesting with essential oils, including different types of oils to use for manifesting money, love, or success.
Here are some of the ways you can incorporate essential oils into fun and easy manifestation games:
- Dab a drop of oil onto money, photos, letters, or other items associated with your manifestations. If you want to manifest success with your business, you might dab some oil onto a business card. For financial prosperity, you can drop a bit of oil onto a dollar bill and keep it in your wallet. Find a creative way to use your chosen oil with an item you associate with your desired manifestation!
- If it’s safe to do so, you can wear the manifestation oil on your body daily, or wear it during especially important moments. You can also dab a bit on your jewelry, if you prefer.
- You can also use essential oils and candles together to amplify your manifesting practice. Before you start the candle ritual I described above, you can rub a bit of manifesting oil at the top of the candle, pulling upward, as you visualize your desires.
Scripting
Scripting is a practice that utilizes both journaling and visualization to envision the life you desire. In this practice, you write about your dreams and desires in story-like form, as if you already possess everything you want to manifest.
For instance, let’s say you want to manifest your dream job.
When you sit down to script, you’d write about your day as if you have your dream job right now, in the present moment. You might write as though you’re looking back on your day, describing all the details of a day on the job. Or you can write as though you’re experiencing it right now in this moment. (i.e. “I walk through the doors of my office and see . . .”)
The key here is to write as if you’re already living your dreams and desires right now in this present moment. You’ve made it. You have everything you can dream of and more. There is no more waiting; it’s all here for you, and all you have to do is reach out and grab it.
To learn more about the benefits of scripting, plus get tips and prompts to help you get started today, be sure to check out my guide to scripting. In this guide, you’ll also get a free Law of Attraction scripting template to help you write your first scripts.
Start Scripting Your Dream Life With The 30-Day Manifestation Journal
Do you want to fully immerse yourself in the positive vibrations of all your dreams and desires? Check out 30 Perfect Days, a digital manifestation journal available in my online shop. Each day, you’ll discover a unique scripting prompt that will help you to live as if you already have your dreams and desires right now. Additionally, you’ll find space for daily gratitude, acknowledging the miracles that appear in your everyday world, uplifting affirmations, and more. Comes with editable text fields so you can choose to either type directly into the journal or print and hand write! Click here to learn more!
New Moon Rituals
The new moon offers a beautiful opportunity for a cosmic reset. This is a perfect time to check in with yourself, connect to your authentic desires, and set intentions for your life goals and vision.
This is also a time for cleansing any old, stagnant energy that’s been building up within and releasing all that no longer serves you to make space for new beginnings.
You can incorporate any of the manifestation games above into your new moon ritual to amplify your intentions. Additionally, here are a few of my favorite new moon rituals for manifestation:
- Plant Seeds of Intention: Pick 3 things you want to manifest over this next moon cycle. Imagine that each intention is a seed that you’re going to plant into your life garden. Take the first seed and envision yourself gently planting it in the earth in front of you. See your intention manifesting in your reality, and feel the positive emotions associated with this dream coming true. Do the same for the second and third seeds. You can visualize this practice in meditation, or if you’d like, you can actually plant three physical seeds in your outdoor garden or indoor potted plants.
- Write a New Moon List: Take some time to connect with your inner self and write lists of everything you want to manifest in the next month, everything you’re releasing, what you’re grateful for, the primary feelings you want to embody (joy, gratitude, etc.), and any other positive changes you want to make over the next month.
- Take a Detox Bath: A detox bath allows you to detox your total self: mind, body, and soul. This bath is meant for spiritual and energetic cleansing. During this time, put away your phone or any other distractions. Focus solely on your own inner tranquility. Sink into relaxation and self-care. By embracing your inner peace, you release stagnant energy within and make space for new energy to come forth. Use essential oils, crystals, epsom salt, candles, and anything else that supports your mind, body, and soul.

26 Inspirational Quotes For Following Your Dreams
Every dream you possess has been put in your heart for a reason, and you owe it to yourself to see how far your dreams can take you. In this article, discover 26 inspirational quotes for believing in, trusting, and following your dreams.
Pin this for later! 26 Inspirational Quotes For Following Your Dreams Following Your Dreams
When I was 7 years old, I was walking through the mall, holding my mom’s hand, peering into all of the different stores as we passed them by. Clothing store. Clothing store. Shoe store. Candy store. Bookstore . . .
. . . wait.
Bookstore.
This is what I remember about that moment:
I remember time moving in slow motion.
I remember the softness of my mom’s hand in mine.
And I remember an inner knowing swirling through my heart, unlike anything I’d ever experienced before.
That was the moment I knew I was going to be a writer when I grew up.
The space in this article isn’t quite enough to describe the journey I’ve been on since that moment. But I want to share this with you today:
I spent years on the sidelines, watching other writers succeed, immersed in limiting beliefs that I wasn’t talented enough, not good enough, and that nobody would ever want to read anything I wrote. I feared that if I put myself out there, I’d only get rejected. I wanted so badly to be a real writer, but fear kept me from going after my dream.
And I have so much love in my heart for that girl sitting on the sidelines. I know her fear and her pain. She wanted so badly for just one person to reach out and give her permission to enter the game. To tell her that these dreams were put in her heart for a reason and that she was worthy of living the life of her dreams.
And you know what?
My entire life changed when I stopped waiting for permission from someone else to step off the sidelines and instead received it from the only person whose permission mattered: myself.
And that’s what I want you to know, especially if you have a dream in your heart but are hesitant to step forward and follow it.
You don’t need permission to step out into the world.
You just need to know that you are worthy of every single dream that’s been put in your heart.
All it takes is one tiny moment of courage to take that first step. Then, when you step back and allow life to flow through you, you’ll see how the universe is giving you everything you need to succeed. It will lead you down the right path, one courageous step at a time.
You have an incredible gift to offer this world. And the only permission you need to step off the sidelines and into the world is your own. And you are worthy. Unconditionally. Infinitely. Always.
Below, you’ll find 26 inspirational quotes for believing in, trusting, and following your dreams. These are some of my favorite quotes that have given me a little extra loving push on my own journey, and I hope they can do the same for you.

Vision Board Ideas To Visualize Your Ideal Future (With Examples)
In this article, discover the purpose of a vision board, plus get unique vision board ideas to help you start visualizing your ideal future today. (With images and examples below!)
Pin this for later! Vision Board Ideas To Visualize Your Ideal Future (With Examples) What Is A Vision Board?
A vision board is a collection of images and/or words that represent your goals and dreams. In essence, it’s a visual representation of all your goals located in one spot where you can easily access it every day.
When you include images on your vision board, you can choose to include images that represent exactly what you want, or you can choose pictures that present an overall feeling of what it is you desire. (You can also include a mixture of both.)
For instance, let’s say you want to own a house by the ocean one day. So you find an image of the perfect beachfront property and add it to your vision board. In this example, the house is a tangible thing that you desire.
But it may not always be a concrete thing that you want. Maybe instead, your biggest goal in life is to feel a deep sense of freedom. In that scenario, you might choose to include an image that represents the feeling of freedom to you–like an open road, a field of wildflowers, or a person standing on top of a mountain with their arms stretched out wide.
While images are typically the focal point of a vision board, you can also include words on your board that have special meaning to you. For instance, you might use words to caption your images, or you can include empowering quotes and affirmations that capture the feeling of your ideal life. You can also include written bucket lists on your vision board for extra motivation. (You’ll find examples of all of these below.)
Finally, while it’s not common, you can choose to include just word descriptions on your vision board instead of images. One way to do this is to draw boxes on a piece of paper. (Of course, you can get more creative with it, too.) Label each box with a category, like Career, Family, and Health/Fitness. For each category, write a few sentences describing your goals.
For example, in the Career box, you might write, “I am a successful health coach who makes a positive difference in the lives of all my clients. I coach people on how to create a healthy and sustainable lifestyle that goes beyond just fad diets; the positive changes they make last for their entire lives. I love what I do and am grateful every single day that I get to work in a job that feels fun and fulfilling.”
In the end, there’s no wrong way to create a vision board as long as it feels right to you. The best vision boards will spark your inspiration and make you feel truly excited about the limitless possibilities for the life you’re creating for yourself.

What Is The Purpose Of A Vision Board?
A vision board is used as a goal-setting tool to help you set and visualize your goals. It can also be used as a means of self-reflection.
In your day-to-day life, it can be easy to lose yourself in deadlines, schedules, errands, and to-do lists. A vision board allows you a chance to step back and really see the big picture. It’s an opportunity to ask yourself what really matters to you and how you want your future to look.
A vision board is also a commonly used tool in manifestation, which is the practice of consciously creating your future through the power of your own vibration. (You might know it as the Law of Attraction.) You can use your vision board as a tool to align your vibration with your desired outcome.
For instance, let’s say that financial freedom is one of your life goals. On your vision board, you can include images that represent what it means to you to be financially free. Then, each day, you can take time to look at your vision board and immerse yourself in those images of financial freedom. When you do this, allow yourself to truly feel the positive emotions of having this financial freedom in your current reality. Feel this positive vibration in every cell of your body.
So essentially, instead of waiting for the future to start feeling financially free, you’re letting yourself feel financially free today. By vibrating at the frequency of freedom and abundance today, you attract to you more of these experiences in your physical world.
The same scenario would apply if you want to manifest a loving and committed partner. Instead of waiting for that person to appear in your life before you start feeling truly loved, start showing yourself the love you’re seeking. When you look at your vision board and see a picture of a couple holding hands, imagine what it will feel like to hold your future partner’s hand. Immerse yourself in this positive vibration.
The more you practice feeling the positive emotions associated with the images on your vision board, the deeper this vibration becomes ingrained within you. You’ll begin carrying these positive emotions with you as you walk through your day and interact with the world around you.
And this, in essence, is how you manifest: by becoming the thing that you desire today.
This is one of my favorite ways to describe how manifestation works in just a few words:
“What you think, you create. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you become.”
If you’re interested in learning more about manifestation, I have lots of articles on manifesting throughout this site. You can find them all here. And for more manifestation tools, you can also check out the digital manifestation workbook, journal, and printables in my online shop.
Vision Board Categories
When you create your vision board, there are likely some obvious categories you’ll want to include, such as your ideal home or your dream job. But you’re not limited to solely these categories–and in fact, there are many other categories that might hold even more meaning to you.
For instance, you might include an image that represents your spirituality and any practices that contribute to your spiritual self, such as meditation or religious services. You can also include images that represent your ideal self-care routine or how you’d like to approach your own personal growth and self-development.
Here are some categories you can include in your vision board:
- Career
- Romance
- Family
- Health
- Financial Wealth
- Home
- Vehicle
- Lifestyle
- Vacations
- Fun
- Self-Care
- Personal Growth
- Volunteer
- Creativity
- Physical
- Emotional
- Spiritual
- Mental
- Social
- Things To Have
- Things To Try
Vision Board Mediums
So how do you begin creating a vision board? Here are some ways you can get started:
- You can go with the classic: a poster board, magazine cutouts, and some tape or glue. If you can’t find all your preferred images in magazines, you can also print images you find online.
- You can also do the same as above but instead glue or tape your images to notebook or bullet journal pages.
- And if you’re artistic, you might instead decide to draw your images instead.
- For a portable vision board, you can create an album on your phone titled Vision Board or My Future. Save images to your album that represent your ideal life, and make it a point to regularly scroll through your album. You can also continue to add images whenever you find a photo that resonates with you.
- There are also apps such as VisuApp that allow you to create your own personal digital vision board.
Vision Board Ideas (With Examples & Images)
Vision Board With Pictures
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to create your vision board is to fill it with photos that represent your ideal life. In the vision board above, you quickly get a sense of the vibe the creator of this board wants to represent: vanlife, travel, health and fitness, meditation, reading, creating, and an overall sense of joy and freedom. Fill your board with photos that speak to you and resonate with your whole self: mind, body, and soul.
Vision Board With Captions
The vision board above includes not only pictures but also captions for each photo that sum up the essence of each image and what the owner of the board hopes to create in the year ahead. The addition of captions can add a little something special to a vision board, turning an abstract image into something a little more concrete.
Vision Board With Affirmations
Another fun and empowering way to make your vision board is to pair photos that speak to your soul with high-vibe affirmations that leave you feeling confident, empowered, and inspired. Every time you look at your vision board, repeat these affirmations and truly feel the positive vibrations connected to the words. This is the path to manifesting your dreams: knowing that everything you desire is already yours.
Vision Board With Quotes
One of my favorite ways to create a vision board is to pair photos with uplifting quotes that give me a little extra burst of confidence and self-belief. If you’d like some help getting started, you can find 26 inspirational quotes for following your dreams here.
Vision Board With Goal List
Another unique approach you can take with your vision board is to include a list of goals on your board. In the image above, the owner of the board has included a list of goals for the year ahead. You might also choose to include a list of overall life goals or bucket list items.
Digital Vision Board
One of the easiest ways to make a vision board is to create a Vision Board album on your phone. Save images to this album that align with the vision you have of your ideal future, and continue to add photos whenever you see something that resonates with you. You can also include uplifting quotes and affirmations here, too. (And the best part? It’s portable, so you always have your vision board within reach, no matter where you are.)

When I first decided to go on the hunt for the perfect manifestation journal, I thought I might rank them from best to worst and give you recommendations for which one you should choose.
But after flipping through one gorgeous journal after another, I quickly realized that wasn’t going to work.
You see, there isn’t really a “worst” one in the bunch.
Rather, it’s more a matter of what fits your individual needs.
Some manifestation journals focus specifically on scripting, while others utilize practices like the 369 or 55×5 methods. Some are specifically focused on helping you to manifest money, while others center around raising your vibrations through gratitude practices.
Your “perfect” manifestation journal is going to depend on a number of factors: your manifestation level, how much time you have to dedicate to journaling each day, and most importantly, what resonates most with your energy.
Below, you’ll find the 12 best manifestation journals you can purchase today. Each one focuses on a different aspect of manifesting, and they can take anywhere between 5 to 30+ minutes a day to complete.
And if you’re looking for a manifestation journal you can start using today, I definitely encourage you to check out 30 Perfect Days, a digital manifestation journal available in my online shop.
This 30-day manifestation journal is designed to help you align with the emotions of having your dreams and desires in the present moment. Each day, you’ll receive a unique scripting prompt that will help you to live as if you already have your dreams and desires right now.
Additionally, you’ll find space for daily gratitude, acknowledging the miracles that appear in your everyday world, uplifting affirmations, and more. It also comes with editable text fields so you can choose to either type directly into the journal or print and write out your responses.

Manifestation Journals
Best Planner: Law of Attraction Planner
Okay, this one cheats just a tiny bit because it’s technically called a planner, but I promise, it’s a cheat in the best way possible.
This Law of Attraction Planner has it all: journal pages, a success road map, productivity stickers, and so much more. Like a normal planner, there’s space to write your appointments, meetings, and other scheduled activities in the weekly calendar pages. I love that these pages also have a Positive Habit Maker where you can track habits such as gratitude, meditation, and any other practices want to prioritize.
There’a also monthly calendars in which you can write feel-good intentions, desired goals, and action steps, plus space to create a mind map.
I think my favorite pages, though, are the monthly reflections. This space includes lines to write down your achievements, what you learned, people who inspired you, and so much more. It also has some incredible reflection questions, such as, “Did I fully enjoy whatever I was doing this month? Was I really ‘here’ or was I just showing up? How can I be more present?“
And did I also mention that there’s a foldable vision board?
I wholeheartedly recommend this planner/journal for both the beginner and experienced manifestor who wants to start creating the life of their dreams today.

Best For Manifesting Money: Money Manifesting Workbook
Unleash Your Inner Money Babe: A Money Manifesting Workbook is an awesome option if you’re looking to manifest financial abundance in your life. The book guides you through 21 days of exercises all centering around your money mindset.
Before you begin the exercises, you set a goal for the amount of money you want to manifest. (The book recommends $1,000.) By the end of the 21 days, you’ll have completely restructured your money mindset for the better, and you’ll have manifested some serious cash.
Note that this one isn’t purely a journal as there are exercises for you to complete as well. For instance, on Day 1, you clear out your wallet (and other spaces in your home/workplace) of junk/receipts, straighten out your dollar bills, and organize your money. At the end of each exercise, there are reflection questions that you can use in your journaling practice.
If you go all-in and release your doubts and hesitations, you’ll be truly amazed by the pure magic that manifests in your life when you start doing these exercises. To increase the high vibes, I recommend pairing it with a notebook that has some glitter and gold on it, like this gorgeous Do More of What Makes You Sparkle golden polka dot notebook.
Best Blank Journal: The Universe Has Your Back Journal
First thing’s first: this one is not a guided journal. But I wanted to include it on this list for a few reasons. Gabrielle Bernstein is a major name in the manifestation space, and she consistently produces incredible books, affirmation cards, and more to support others in their manifestation journeys.
The Universe Has Your Back Journal is absolutely beautiful and includes some high-vibe quotes and affirmations to support you in your manifestation journey. I love this option for the manifestor who wants to freely journal without strict guidance. You can also find some awesome manifestation guided journal prompts on Pinterest, so be sure to check there!
Furthermore, you can use this journal for the 369 method or the 55×5 manifestation method, both of which I talk about below.
I’d also highly recommend checking out Gabrielle Bernstein’s book, The Universe Has Your Back, and her beautiful The Universe Has Your Back Affirmation Cards to lovingly guide you through your manifestations.
Best Gratitude Journal: The 5-Minute Gratitude Journal
Don’t underestimate the power of a gratitude journal to jump start your manifestations. Especially not one like The 5-Minute Gratitude Journal, which packs an immense amount of power in just a few minutes a day.
Every day, you’re given uplifting gratitude prompts like, “One reason my life is already great,” and “One beautiful reason to be happy right now.” Each prompt only requires you to write a sentence or two, making this something you can do whenever it suits your schedule. Additionally, you also get an inspirational quote and a positive affirmation each day that truly helps you to cultivate feelings of joy, gratitude, peace, and trust.
The fastest and easiest way to manifest the life of your dreams is to feel grateful for what you have right now. This journal is the perfect tool to help you get started.
Best Beginner-Friendly Journal: Manifestation Magick
Manifestation Magick is the perfect journal for anyone who is new to manifestation journaling. What I love about this journal is that it allows you to experiment with three different manifestation techniques: the 369 method, the 55×5 method, and scripting. You’ll find easy-to-follow directions for each method, and by trying out each one, you can decide which methods resonate most with your energy. You can also decide to use all of the methods, which will help you to become a master manifestor in no time.
Best For Personal Growth: The Book of Dreams Come True
The Book of Dreams Come True is the manifestation journal for the person who is willing to put in a little extra time to truly sit with their thoughts and write what’s in their heart. It’s filled with incredible journal prompts to help you release negativity and embrace joy, positivity, love, and light.
I love this journal because it truly empowers you to embrace your own creativity and imagination. This is a journal that will lead you through a journey of beautiful self-discovery, helping you to understand your goals and desires, feel gratitude for all that you have, and create the brilliant and magical life you desire.
Best 369 Journal: Three Six Nine Affirmation Journal
The Three Six Nine Affirmation Journal utilizes a manifestation method in which you write your desire in affirmation form three times in the morning, six times in the afternoon, and nine times in the evening. Doing this for 33 days straight amplifies your affirmations and intentions. There’s enough space in this journal to do this for two 33-day cycles.
As a huge believer in the power of affirmations, I love that this method is so simple yet profound. Each time you repeat these affirmations, you’re rewiring your brain to truly believe what you’re affirming. This also raises your vibrations, which is the foundation of manifestation. The journal itself is simple yet beautiful, and for less than $10, it provides you with everything you need to start manifesting the life of your dreams.
Best “Short-On-Time” Journal: The Five Minute Journal
The Five Minute Journal is the perfect tool for raising your vibration on limited time. Each morning, you can write down three things you’re grateful for, three positive affirmations, and three things that would make today great. At the end of the day, you can reflect on three amazing things that happened and three things that would’ve made the day even better.
This journal is a great resource for providing inspiration and motivation and helping you to cultivate an outlook of positivity and optimism.
Best 55×5 Journal: 555 Manifestation Journal
The 55×5 manifestation method is a practice in which you write your chosen affirmation 55 times in a row (in one sitting) for five days straight. The affirmation you choose should correspond with your intended manifestation. For example, you might write the affirmation, “I am so happy and grateful that I received an extra $1,000 this week!“
Now, if you’re side-eyeing me right now, I totally get it. It sounds almost too simple. But it’s one of those things that’s so simple, it actually works. The key here is to be in a high-vibrational state when you sit down to write your affirmations. It’s also important to hold onto those good feelings even after you complete the practice.
You definitely don’t need a special manifestation journal to complete this practice. But what I like about the 555 Manifestation Method Journal is that it cleanly divides the 55 lines so you don’t have to count them. For less than $10, it’s an inexpensive time saver that will carry you through your manifesting journey.

Best For Lifting Vibrations: Daily Rituals
I’ll admit, this one surprised me. At first glance, I thought it was just a book on affirmations, which is great – just not what I wanted when looking for manifestation journals.
But I was wrong.
The Daily Rituals workbook is all about lifting your vibrations so you can attract similiar high-vibrational objects, people, and experiences into your life. Each chapter has a powerful affirmation with an explanation/definition of that affirmation. After the affirmation, there’s a powerful exercise to complete and a profound journal prompt that will help you to cultivate joy, gratitude, and unconditional self-love.
To increase the high vibes, I like to pair this workbook with this beautifully crafted The Universe Journal.
Best Goal-Oriented Journal: This Year I Will
Do not sleep on this book. It is an absolute powerhouse.
The prompts in the This Year I Will Guided Journal read as a step-by-step guide to manifestation. You start by identifying your goals and your why. Then there are visualizations for how you’ll feel when you achieve these goals and what a day in your life will look like once you have what you desire. And this is just the beginning. Once you get to the weekly reflections, you truly dive deep into a treasure chest of uplifting thoughts and good vibrations. There is so much goodness in this book, I can’t rave about it enough.
The one key difference between this journal and the others on this list is that it’s more of a weekly journal than a daily journal. Depending on your preferences, this might be a positive or a negative. Even if you’re looking for more of a daily journal, I’d definitely recommend using this journal in addition to one of the daily journals on this list. I promise – it’s worth it.
Best For Advanced Manifestors: 100-Day Guided Manifestation Journal
If you’re looking for a pure manifestation journal, it’d be hard to beat this one. The Law of Attraction 100-Day Guided Journal has everything you need in a manifestation journal. It’s a guided journal filled with powerful prompts and daily affirmations, plus directions and words of wisdom. Even on your toughest days, this journal will guide you to living as your highest and most authentic self.
The reason I recommend this one for more advanced manifestors is because some of the prompts can be a bit more complex. If you’re a beginner, I’d recommend starting with one of the others on this list and working your way up to this one.

11 Powerful Crystals for Manifestation
From manifesting love and peace to financial prosperity, crystals and gemstones are powerful tools to guide you in manifesting the life of your deepest, most heartfelt dreams. Below, discover 11 beautiful crystals for manifestation, plus learn how to cleanse, program, and use your crystals to manifest your dreams.
Pin this for later! 11 Powerful Crystals for Manifestation Why You Should Be Using Crystals
You are already a powerful manifestor, whether or not you’re consciously aware of it.
Throughout your life, you’ve been emitting energy out into the world that reflects your inner state.
You might call this your energetic signature, and this can change from day to day – and even from moment to moment.
When you feel peaceful and calm, you radiate an overall aura of deep serenity. This energy doesn’t just flow through you; it surrounds your entire being.
If this is hard to imagine, think about the energy you feel when you’re around specific people. Do you love to be in the company of certain friends, family, or coworkers because of the positive energy you feel when you’re around them?
And on the other side, are there certain people you avoid because they carry a constant energy of negativity?
You, too, carry a specific energy signature throughout your day. Manifestation is the art of tuning your own energy to your desired state of being. When you emit an energy of deep inner peace from within, you invite more experiences of peace and serenity in your outside world.
So while you’ve been manifesting your entire life, conscious manifestation occurs when you become aware of your limitless ability to create your own outcomes, and you intentionally choose your thoughts and feelings to align with the energy of your desires.
(I won’t go too in depth on the process of manifestation in this article, but if you want to learn more, you can click here to learn more about the Law of Attraction, and here you can read about specific manifestation methods you can use to help you manifest what you truly desire.)
So how exactly do crystals help you manifest your dreams and desires?
When you use crystals for manifestation, your chosen stones aren’t simply attracting love, financial abundance, health, and other desired outcomes to you; they’re helping you to cultivate a deep sense of self so that you discover that these things already exist within you.
You are love. Love is your birthright. So is financial abundance, health, joy, creativity, passion, and all kinds of really good and wonderful things.
Crystals help you to become the energy of what it is that you want to manifest.
They restore harmony and balance within you and empower you to live as your highest and most authentic self.
And when you become the energy you want to manifest, you attract more of this energy to you.
Become unconditional love. Receive unconditional love.
Become abundance. Receive abundance.
By becoming, you’re opening yourself up to receiving.
And while it’s absolutely possible to walk into a store and feel called toward a certain crystal (always trust the wisdom of your intuition), it helps to have an understanding of the properties and powers that different crystals possess when you’re choosing the right crystal for you.
Below, you’ll discover 11 powerful crystals that will help you manifest your desires, plus some easy-to-follow practices on how to cleanse, program, and use crystals for manifestation. Feel free to use the links below to skip to the section you want to learn more about!

For more details on how to use crystals to protect your energy, manifest your dreams, and help you heal from within, check out my article, How to Use Crystals: Grids, Pendulums & More.
How to Cleanse Your Crystals
Why do we cleanse crystals before using them? Imagine that you’re moving into a “new” old house. Even though the house is new to you, you know that the house has been lived in by several families before you. These families made their own memories in the house, and over the years, they’ve left behind bits and pieces of their energy inside that house.
Just like you want to clear the energy of the past residents so you can start anew in this house, you want to clear any old energy and past intentions still being held in your crystals.
Even if you’re the first person to ever own this crystal, it’s likely traveled a long way from its source to the seller to you. Because you don’t know what kind of energy is currently held in your new crystal(s), it’s a best practice to cleanse your crystals before using them.
Methods to Cleanse Crystals:
- Sage: Light your sage and immerse the crystal in the smoke for thirty to sixty seconds. Be sure to use a firesafe bowl or abalone shell to catch burning embers and ash. It’s best to do this outside or near an open window for two reasons: A) Safety and B) It allows any negative and old energies to rise in the air and disappear from your space.
- Water: Rinse your stone under the running water of a creek or stream. If this isn’t possible, you can also use a faucet. Just make sure to do a little research first to make sure it’s safe for your stone. You don’t want to use this method for soft stones like Selenite.
- Use Selenite or Clear Quartz: Both of these crystals have the ability to cleanse and purify other crystals. Lay your crystal on a piece of Selenite or Clear Quartz for at least twenty-four hours. If you can’t place your crystal on top, it also works to have them side-by-side as long as they’re touching.
- Nature: When I need to reset and get realigned, I can always restore balance within when I immerse myself in nature. Crystals are the same. Place your crystals outside on the soil, on the branches of a tree, on a potted plant, or anywhere else outdoors where you feel a sense of peace and balance. If possible, try to keep your crystals outside for at least a full day, avoiding dew and prolonged exposure to sunlight.
- Sun/Moon: Place your crystals outside in the sun or moon for ten to twelve hours (or overnight). This is especially powerful during the Full Moon when the moonlight is brightest. If you’re going to use this method, just make sure it’s safe for your stone. For certain stones, like Amethyst, you want to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.
How to Program Crystals for Manifestation
The number one most important thing to remember when it comes to programming your crystals for manifestation isn’t the method itself; it’s your intention. There are several ways to program your crystals, and none are inherently better than the others. What matters is your intention during the process.
It helps to have a powerful sentence or phrase to use when you’re getting ready to program your crystals. For instance, if you want to manifest health, your sentence might be, “I am living my healthiest and most fit life in a body I truly love.” Or if you’re manifesting financial abundance, your intention might be, “I am a successful entrepreneur, and financial prosperity comes easily and effortlessly to me.“
The key is, before you sit down to program your crystals, make sure you really know what it is that you want to manifest.
Methods to Program Crystals:
- Visualize: Sit in a quiet, safe place where you won’t be interrupted. Hold your crystal(s) in your hands. In your mind, speak your intention. Then, visualize what this intention looks like. What does financial abundance look like to you? How do you envision romantic love? What do you see when you imagine yourself living your healthiest and most fit life? Sit in silence for a while and see your intentions manifesting in your mind, feeling the emotions of peace, freedom, joy, love, and/or any other positive emotions that arise when you visualize your dream.
- Breathe into the crystal: Again, find a quiet and safe spot where you won’t be interrupted. Place your stone(s) in your hands and repeat your intention in your head. Bring your stone(s) up to your mouth and breathe into them, repeating your intention in your head. Continue to do this for five to ten minutes, or as long as it takes to feel like your gemstones are fully activated.
How To Use Crystals To Manifest What You Want
- Wear crystals as jewelry: Wearing your stones as rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings allows you to easily keep your stone with you at all times. I love rings especially because you can look down at them anytime and be reminded of your limitless power. On top of that, wearing beautiful things helps you to feel good and sparks joy within. And this is not superficial or shallow. Lean into the belief that you are worthy and deserving of wearing beautiful things. If it supports the internal joy that you cultivate within, embrace it.
- Keep crystals nearby throughout your day: But be intentional with placement. For instance, if you’re using gemstones to manifest financial abundance, place them in your workspace to promote the continual incoming paychecks and flow of money coming in. You can also place them in your wallet or purse to amplify the energy of abundance. Similarly, if you’re manifesting creativity, keep your gemstones in your office or studio where you do most of your creative endeavors.
- Meditate with crystals: You can hold your crystals in your hands as you meditate, or you can place the crystals on the corresponding energy center on your body while laying down. For instance, if you’re using Rose Quartz to help you manifest love, place the Rose Quartz on your heart center as you meditate. Get a quick guide to your seven main energy centers (chakras) and their meanings here.
- Keep crystals in your pocket: If you don’t have jewelry with your chosen gemstone (or don’t want to wear jewelry), you can keep your crystals in your pocket so they’re still with you throughout the day.
11 Powerful Crystals for Manifestation
Crystals to Manifest Financial Abundance
- Citrine: When it comes to manifesting financial abundance, citrine is an absolute powerhouse. Known as the “Merchant Stone” or “Success Stone,” citrine is associated with wealth, prosperity, and financial success. Additionally, citrine is associated with your solar plexus chakra, which is your energy center for confidence, empowerment, positivity, and high self-esteem. (Read more about the solar plexus chakra here!) So when you combine these powerful properties, you get a crystal that helps you to manifest financial abundance while feeling optimistic, confident, and joyful. This crystal is definitely a must-have when it comes to manifesting prosperity and financial abundance!
- Pyrite: You might also know this one as “Fool’s Gold,” but there’s nothing foolish about the manifesting power of this stone. Pyrite is associated with wealth, abundance, and success. Additionally, this is a protective stone, shielding you from negative energy and bad vibes. This is the perfect stone to keep in your office as it A) protects the energy of your space and B) raises your energy of abundance at work and/or in your business ventures.
Crystals to Manifest Love
- Rose Quartz: Rose Quartz is the ultimate crystal for manifesting love. But how exactly does it do this? When you use Rose Quartz with the intention of manifesting love, you do much more than simply attract love. Rose Quartz works with your heart chakra, opening up this important energy center to help you heal past hurts, restore your belief in love, and open your heart again to love and trust. When you vibrate at the energy of pure love, you naturally attract this same powerful energy to you. And if you already have a partner, Rose Quartz is still a powerful stone to have on hand. As the stone of unconditional love, it helps you to deepen your relationship with your partner and with yourself.
- Rhodonite: Rhodonite is another beautiful stone that’s associated with the heart chakra. Like Rose Quartz, it helps you to cultivate deep love and compassion within to heal old wounds, cultivate compassion, build confidence, and promote unconditional self-love. If you’re already in a relationship, this stone will help you to clear blockages between you and your partner and open your heart to forgiveness. By truly becoming the essence of unconditional love, you attract the energy of love into your life.
Crystals to Manifest Friendships
- Pink Opal: Like the gemstones mentioned above in the Crystals to Manifest Love section, Pink Opal is associated with the heart chakra. (In fact, Rose Quartz and Rhodonite, mentioned above, can also be used to manifest not only romantic love but love-filled friendships as well.) Pink Opal is special because it helps to calm your mind and open your heart, which is especially helpful if you’re shy or withdrawn. Pink Opal will help with healing past pain and cultivating deep inner peace.
*Citrine, mentioned in the Crystals to Manifest Financial Abundance section, is also a powerful stone for manifesting friendships and an active social life as it promotes joy, optimism, and positivity!
Crystals to Manifest Health
- Garnet: Garnet is a powerful stone to promote your total health and wellbeing. When your energy centers are blocked or imbalanced, garnet helps to circulate your energy and balance your chakras. It’s a total powerhouse for cleansing and rejuvenating your mind, body, and spirit.
- Bloodstone: Bloodstone is known to heal both physical and emotional wounds. On top of that, it’s known to increase circulation and get the energy moving in your body. When you feel completely tired and defeated, Bloodstone will help to heal your mind and body while rejuvenating your spirit.
Crystals to Manifest Creativity
- Carnelian: Carnelian is the perfect stone to manifest more creativity into your life. Now, it’s important to remember that you already have access to a limitless abundance of creativity inside of you. However, at times, we may block or obscure that source of creativity, usually by overthinking, worrying, or living it the past or future. And that’s okay! We can always reopen ourselves to infinite creativity, and Carnelian is just the stone to help us get there. Carnelian supports confidence and self-empowerment while helping you tap into your creativity. If you find that your creativity has been blocked, you can use this stone in combination with practices to heal your sacral chakra, the energy center in your body associated with creativity and passion. Learn more about healing your sacral chakra here!
Amplifiers/Pairing Crystals
- Aventurine: No matter what you want to manifest, Aventurine is an absolute must-have in your manifestation toolkit. Aventurine is the ultimate pairing stone because it’s associated with abundance and manifestation. But abundance doesn’t just mean financial abundance. Aventurine can help you manifest an abundance of health, love, friendships, creativity, or anything else you desire. It also boosts luck and helps you to stay in a high-vibe, positive state. You can pair Aventurine with Citrine to boost your financial prosperity, or Aventurine with Carnelian to inspire your creativity. There really is no limit to this powerful stone.
- Goldstone: Goldstone is a beautiful grounding stone that acts like your best friend and protector all in one. It helps you to remain grounded, fills you with energy and optimism, and strengthens your faith when you’re facing obstacles and roadblocks. It will also help you achieve your goals, unlock your potential, and create a beautiful future. Goldstone truly is a unique stone that will serve and guide you as you manifest your future.
- Jade: Jade is another powerful stone that’s associated with luck and success. It also fills you with courage and reminds you that you are truly limitless. Use Jade with Citrine or Pyrite to attract success, prosperity, and good fortune into your life.

9 Guided Meditations For Manifesting Your Desires
In this article, discover nine powerful guided meditations for manifesting love, abundance, success, and so much more. (With links to each meditation so you can begin your manifesting journey today.)
Pin this for later! 9 Guided Meditations For Manifesting Your Desires Getting Started: Guided Meditations For Manifesting
Meditation is a profound way to connect to your heart’s deepest dreams and desires. Not only can meditation help you to cultivate inner peace, tap into your intuition, and lean a little deeper into gratitude, but it can also be a powerful way to visualize and align with the thoughts, feelings, and images of having your desires in this present moment.
And guided manifestation meditations are a powerful place to start.
First, what exactly is a manifestation meditation?
A manifestation meditation is a meditation specifically designed to help you align with the positive thoughts and emotions of your dreams and desires, lifting your vibrations so that you become a magnet for all of your deepest dreams.
Guided meditations for manifesting can be an easy yet profound way to help you set intentions, cultivate gratitude, lift your vibration, and visualize the truest, most beautiful life you can imagine for yourself.
And the best part? They don’t actually have to take very much time.
As you’ll see, most of the guided meditations below are only about ten minutes long, yet they’re filled with tools to help you embody the vibration of already having your dreams and desires in this present moment.
While you can do these meditations any time of the day, I especially love to listen to them in the morning shortly after I wake up. I’ve found that by starting my day with a meditation, I set a positive foundation for the day ahead.
And when you specifically listen to a guided meditation for manifesting your desires in the morning, you can carry that positive energy from the meditation with you throughout the day.
Below, I’ve linked to nine of my favorite guided manifestations for manifesting love, abundance, and more. You’ll notice that all of these meditations are available for free through Insight Timer. I have no affiliations with Insight Timer and don’t receive anything for these links. I’ve been using Insight Timer for years, and it’s by far my favorite app on my phone. I’m including it here because I wholeheartedly recommend it.
If you want to download the app, you should be able to find it on your device’s app store. You can also check out their website to learn more about what they offer.
I sincerely hope these guided meditations for manifesting your dreams can serve and support you on your path as you move forward in creating a life that feels good and true to you.
And know that it doesn’t matter if you’re new to meditation or an experienced meditator; these meditations will serve you throughout your entire journey. (I’ve been meditating for years, and I still come back to many of these same meditations repeatedly.)
Guided Meditations For Manifesting
Manifesting A Positive Day
Liza Colpa’s entire catalog of guided meditations is a treasure chest filled with beautiful and profound tracks dedicated to helping you set intentions, cultivate gratitude, and release what no longer serves you to make space for more love, peace, and abundance to come into your life. Her voice is effortless and soothing, and I find myself coming back to her meditations multiple times a week. With over 425k plays, her 10-minute Manifesting A Positive Day is her most popular track – for good reason. In this track, Liza gently guides you through a series of affirmations as well as a visualization practice designed to help you envision your best possible day. When you’re finished with this track, you’ll be ready to step forward feeling a sense of confidence, contentment, trust, and groundedness that will remain with you throughout your day.
Attracting All That You Desire

New Moon Meditation
This one’s a little different, as it is specifically created for manifesting with the energy of the New Moon.

I especially love the calming visualization experience she takes you on, as you connect with the energy of the New Moon and the new beginnings it represents. This is a quiet, soft, gentle guided meditation that helps you to focus on what truly matters in life – what you want to give your attention to, what you want more of, what’s worth giving your energy to – and release all the rest.

The Secret To Manifesting: Knowing Your Why
In this article, learn how knowing your why can make all your manifestations richer and more meaningful, and get helpful tips and practices for uncovering your why and aligning with your deepest purpose each and every day.
Pin this for later! The Secret To Manifesting: Knowing Your Why Uncovering Your “Why”
Behind every goal and intention is a greater purpose for why you want this specific thing.
And often, this purpose is much deeper than most of us even realize on the surface.
To illustrate this, let’s start with an example. Let’s say you’re a ten-year-old kid playing on your little league baseball or softball team. You’re up to bat, and your team is down by one run. There’s one runner on base. That means if you hit a home run, your team will go ahead.
So your goal at this moment is to hit a home run.
But what’s the purpose behind wanting to hit a home run?
Consider this:
- You want to hit a home run so you can help your team win the game.
- Okay. So why do you want to help your team win the game?
- You want to help your team win the game because you want to feel like a winner.
- And why do you want to feel like a winner?
- You want to feel like a winner because you believe it will make your parents proud.
- And why do you want to make your parents proud?
- You want to make your parents proud because you believe it shows you’re worthy of their love.
- And why do you want to feel worthy of their love?
- You want to feel worthy of their love because you deeply desire love and validation from others.
- And why do you desire love and validation from others?
- You want love and validation from others because receiving love from others will show you that you’re worthy of loving yourself.
Wanting to hit a home run to help your team win the game has a purpose so much deeper than simply winning.
For a child, it might validate that they’re worthy of love and acceptance. It might also act as proof that their contributions matter. Kids (and adults) often want to be the hero because they crave the love, validation, and praise that comes with being a hero.
(To be very clear, you are always worthy of love, acceptance, and praise, no matter what you do or don’t do.)
And this is true for all of our deepest dreams and most heartfelt desires. It’s never simply about just obtaining a single thing. It’s about so much more. And when we can learn to recognize what this more is, we gain a greater understanding of our deepest motivations and what drives us to keep going.
By connecting to your why every day, you’re less likely to quit when challenges and obstacles appear on your path, thus fostering deeper resilience. It also helps you to connect with the fundamental feeling of your desired manifestation. We’ll discuss this in more depth below, plus I’ll give you practices to uncover your why and tips for aligning with your why each day.

The Story Of My Why
Before I became a full-time website owner and writer, I job-hopped a lot.
I existed in an endless cycle in which I’d set out to find some kind of administrative office position in the hope that it would bring me happiness and fulfillment. I’d stay in this job for about a year before inevitably deciding to seek out a new job that would (again) hopefully bring me the happiness and fulfillment I was seeking.
The last position I took was actually pretty perfect on paper. I was able to do meaningful work with people I truly liked. But after several months, I once again started feeling empty. No matter how much I tried to force myself to fit into these office positions, nothing ever felt right.
I was a square peg trying to fit myself into a round hole.
One day, I went on an afternoon walk to clear my head. I was listening to a guided walking meditation, and the meditation teacher instructed her listeners to visualize an image that represented how we were feeling in that moment. I can still remember that moment so clearly. One second, I was walking through the neighborhood surrounded by houses and trees. And the next, all I could see in my mind’s eye was a pair of cold, metal handcuffs encircling my wrists.
And I realized in that moment just how trapped and imprisoned I felt in my current life situation.
That was when I realized my soul craved freedom and independence more than just about anything else. Everything inside me knew I’d be trapped in this endless cycle of job-hopping and working for other people unless I consciously decided to break it.
And I knew what that meant. I’d known since I was seven year old, when the dream of being a writer was first put into my heart.
Breaking out of my cycle meant doing the thing I feared the most: stepping out from the shadows, putting my words out there for the world to read, and taking charge of my life.
So I did something that was kind of crazy: I took a leap and followed my heart. I quit my job. I started this website. I began sharing my words for the first time on Instagram. I started to show up for myself in a way I never had the courage to do before.
And for the first several months of blogging, I earned no money at all. Zero. Nothing. I made a lot of mistakes, and I spent eighty to ninety hours a week working on my blog and social media accounts, often seeing no immediate positive results. I almost quit about a thousand times.
But I didn’t. I couldn’t.
And the thing that kept me going during my heaviest, most difficult moments was knowing my why.
- I craved the freedom and independence to have my own schedule and build a life that felt truly meaningful for both myself and others.
- I wanted to make my family proud. (Probably for the same reason the kid in the example above wanted to hit the home run.)
- And finally, my deepest purpose of all was to lift up, help, and inspire others to live a life aligned with their own purpose and passions – to be a beacon of love, hope, and a belief in something more. The thing that kept me going through it all was believing that if I could help just one person, that would be enough. I can’t emphasize enough how powerful it is to uncover a deeper purpose within that isn’t about you at all – to be inspired by something greater than yourself. When life is no longer happening to you or even for you, but rather, when life is happening through you to help other people – that’s when you will begin manifesting things beyond your wildest dreams. Why? Writer Vex King has a quote that sums it up better than I ever could: “You can do anything that comes from a place of love.”
How To Uncover Your Why
When you can uncover your why and understand your deepest purpose for why you want to manifest your specific desires, your manifestations will open up for you in ways they never have before. Instead of focusing on short-term results, you’ll be able to keep your vision on the big picture. Your why will keep you centered, grounded, and stable through all of life’s ups and downs.
This is your root. Your foundation. Your deepest, most authentic motivation for all that you do.
Here are a few ways you can begin uncovering your why today:
- Go Beyond The Surface: Once you identify your goal, ask why you desire this thing. But don’t stop there. Like in the baseball example in the introduction, keep asking yourself why. Continue to probe until you get to the very foundation of what you want most. (Usually, you’ll have to ask yourself “Why?” at least seven to eight times before you reach your deepest reason.)
- Identify The Primary Feelings You’re Looking For: Most of the time, when you want to manifest something, you don’t simply want this thing just because. It’s often a feeling that you’re after. For instance, if you want to manifest financial wealth, maybe what you’re truly seeking is freedom. If you want to manifest a romantic partner, you may be seeking the feeling of being truly and deeply loved. Once you identify these feelings, the power is entirely in your hands. You don’t have to wait for these things to come into your life before you start feeling these positive emotions. Feel free now. Feel loved now. Feel everything you desire right now. It never starts outside of yourself; it begins within. You have the power to create the life of your dreams by creating it inside of you first.
- Speak To Your Higher Self: When it comes to your why, your higher self knows your deepest purpose. Meet this part of you in meditation. Connect to your inner wisdom through journaling. When you go within, the answers you discover may surprise you – but they’ll also feel good and right. (Click here to learn more about who your higher self is and how to connect to this deepest part of you.)
Here are some questions that can help you uncover your why. You might find it helpful to write down your thoughts in a notebook or journal:
- What’s your greatest passion?
- What makes you feel most alive?
- What are your greatest strengths?
- How can your unique talents, skills, knowledge, and abilities serve the world?
- What primary feelings do you crave most in your life? (i.e. peace, freedom, love, abundance)
- When you look back on your life, how will you evaluate it as a whole? Will you evaluate it by the lives you touched? By your achievements? By the love of your family and community? By what you’ve left behind to serve future generations? Note that there’s no right or wrong answer here. It’s solely a matter of what feels good and true to you.
How To Align With Your Why
When you know your why, your goal has more impact. You’re no longer manifesting aimlessly; you’re manifesting with purpose, on purpose.
But it can be easy to lose sight of your why, especially in the beginning. We can lose ourselves in the presence of outer noise. Doubts and insecurities can stop us from moving forward. It’s all too easy to forget why we started in the first place.
So it’s important to find ways to consciously remind yourself of your why each and every day.
Here are some practices you can try:
- Write down your “why” statement on a piece of paper or a note on your phone. Read it to yourself multiple times a day. Read it even more when you experience challenges and obstacles that make you question whether this is the right path for you.
- Turn your why statement into an affirmation. For instance, if your deepest purpose is to lift the vibration of the planet, you might say, “I am lifting the vibration of the planet with my thoughts, words, and actions.” If you’re seeking a life of freedom, you might affirm that you are free. You might also affirm that freedom is your fundamental, true state, and that it’s also your birthright. Repeat affirmations that align with your why and allow yourself to feel the positive emotions associated with these empowering words.
- Connect to the primary feeling of your “why” statement. Whether it’s freedom, peace, love, abundance, or happiness, focus on cultivating this feeling within you. Don’t look for what you desire out there. Find it within, align with it every day, and let it come to you.
Remember this: every goal you possess has a deeper meaning and purpose behind it. And there’s a reason this dream exists within you. It was entrusted to you for a reason. It’s your specific vision for a reason. Nothing is by accident. Nothing is a mistake.
During your journey, you will face difficult choices. Some of these choices will require you to either choose fear or courage – to shrink back or expand. Choose the path most aligned with your why. Make your choices as your highest, most authentic self. Follow the pull of your deep inner wisdom. Let your heart lead.
Don’t Forget Why You Started
In manifestation, there will always be obstacles and challenges on your path forward. There may be moments when you think, “I can’t do this anymore. It’s not working. I keep failing. Maybe I should just quit.” During these moments, you may have a difficult time remembering your why. Even if you do remember your deepest purpose, you might start to believe that maybe this isn’t truly possible for you. You’ll tell yourself that you’re delusional for actually believing you could manifest the life of your dreams.
If this happens, take a deep breath and step back. Think about the moment this dream was first put into your heart. When did you know that this dream was meant for you? How did you feel at that moment? What did your inner knowing tell you?
Remember this: your intuition knows so much more than you realize.
I’ve had many, many difficult moments in my journey. And do you want to know what keeps me going when nothing else can?
Returning to that moment when I knew this dream was meant for me and going back to that original feeling. I was seven years old, staring inside a Waldenbooks. And I knew in that moment, I was going to be a writer one day.
I’ve gone back to that moment hundreds of times when I started to believe that I wasn’t good enough to be a writer. That I’d never make it. That I should just give up.
That moment is what keeps me grounded, centered, and continually moving forward. I knew that this dream meant something deeper. That it was more.
That original feeling you had in the moment you first knew is the truest, most real thing in this universe. It doesn’t come from the ego but from something inside of you that is eternal, measureless, and infinite. And it will never steer you wrong. Never.
So truly take the time to cultivate what that original feeling looked and felt like for you. Come back to it, as many times as you need. Remember that you are not here simply just to exist. You are here for more. You are more. Your entire essence and being are more.

The Importance Of Taking Small Steps (For Manifestation)
We often focus on the really big actions we take to achieve our dreams, but the path to manifesting your dreams and desires is most often paved in the small steps you take each day. Below, learn the importance of small steps, and discover how you can start taking daily steps rooted in aligned action to help you manifest your deepest, most heartfelt dreams.
Pin this for late! The Importance Of Taking Small Steps (For Manifestation) Small Steps
Have you ever known someone who decided they wanted to lose weight and went all in right away?
From day one, they’re working out one to two hours every day and cutting their daily calorie intake in half. For the first couple weeks, they might see big results. They lose several pounds the first week, and then a few more the second.
But then, the drastic leap they’ve made starts to take its toll.
They begin to backslide, skipping workouts and eating even more than when they began their weight loss journey. Trying to make a big lifestyle change in one massive leap often leaves a person feeling tired, overwhelmed, and anxious.
And because of this, they often give up, believing that they’re just not cut out for this type of lifestyle change.
The exact same pattern often happens in manifestation.
When you learn about manifesting, it feels really exciting at first. You’re excited to create your reality through utilizing the power of your own positive vibration. You dedicate yourself to having positive thoughts all the time, trying to suppress any worry, stress, fear, or anxiety that you feel within. You want things to happen quickly, so you try to take massive leaps and bold jumps forward.
But after a couple weeks, this starts to take its toll.
It can be tiring to try to be positive all the time. And it can also be stressful and scary to feel like you always have to make these massive leaps forward – especially when you’re not seeing immediate results.
Like crash diets, crash manifesting often leaves you feeling worse than you did before you started. And it’s also not healthy for your total well-being: mind, body, and soul.
Here’s the truth about manifesting: there will be times when you’re required to take big leaps forward. To do the thing you’re afraid to do. To trust your inner knowing, even though it feels kind of scary. You’ll know these moments when they come; you’ll feel it deep within when the time is right to do something that feels really big and life-changing.
But most of your journey won’t be defined by those really big leaps.
It’s the small steps you take each day that will make all the difference.
Why Small Steps Are The Way Forward
Consider the crash dieter, who tries to do it all at once: work out daily, cut their calories, walk over 10,000 steps a day, embody perfection in an attempt to lose twenty pounds in a month, only to gain it all back the next.
What if they had taken their journey more slowly?
Consider this alternative: they start just by replacing their lunch with something a little healthier and adding in three, thirty-minute workouts a week. Maybe they’ll gradually start to increase their step count. Then, they start swapping out some of their high-calorie foods for lower calorie ones, but they still allow some wiggle room for foods they love. They explore different types of exercises to find the ones they enjoy most. They allow themselves to take their time with this new lifestyle change, and because of this, they actually have fun with it.
They want to do these things because these new habits feel really good.
Ironically, by releasing the pressure to be perfect, they actually see more long-term success than the person who goes all in right away in an attempt to be perfect.
I also like to use marathon training as another helpful comparison. When I trained for my first marathon, I knew I wasn’t just going to wake up on Day 1 and run 26.2 miles. I had to create a training plan. In my training plan, I scheduled short runs throughout the week to keep my endurance up and one weekly long run that would gradually increase in distance. My first long run was 8 miles. The next week, it was 9 miles. Then, 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. And so on.
Each day, I followed my training plan and made one small step forward at a time to help me prepare for that big 26.2 mile run. When the marathon came, I was able to run the entire length of the race because of the small steps I’d been taking for months before the actual event.
So what does this have to do with manifestation?
Let’s take a look at what the path of manifesting your dreams looks like:
- First, you set an intention based on the authentic, deeply felt dreams that have been placed in your heart.
- You communicate this intention to the Universe. Your positive vibrations are one way of communicating this intention, as by vibrating at the frequency of your desires, you express that you’re ready to receive more of this good-feeling thing.
- The Universe works behind the scenes to set everything in motion. It communicates back to you in the form of signs, messages, and most importantly, your own intuition. Being in the vibration of what you desire allows you to receive these signs and inner nudges with clarity. (In contrast, being in a state of stress, worry, and anger will cause you to miss these signs and feelings.)
- Then, you take inspired action based on the communication the Universe has given you. This leads you on the path straight to your dreams and desires.
That is the process of manifestation explained in its most basic form.
Most of the signs and inner nudges you receive on your path won’t be to do anything really, really big. They’re going to be gentle nudges leading you to take small steps forward.
This can be a little frustrating, I know. It’s not glamorous or exciting. Usually, when we want something, we want it now.
The irony here is that the more we try to force something to happen right now, the more we push it away.
But when you get into alignment and lean into the natural flow of the universe, releasing your hold on the timeline, things will start moving quicker. The small steps you take may seem inconsequential right now, but they’re going to move you forward so much quicker in the long run than trying to control and force everything to happen at once.
Small Steps & Aligned Action (My Personal Story)
To help you visualize what the path of manifestation looks like when you’re taking small steps, I want to tell you a bit more about my personal story. Specifically, I want to focus on what it took to build a successful website.
I didn’t always know that I wanted to be a blogger. This path was revealed to me only after I started practicing quieting my mind through meditation and mindfulness practices. Like a lot of people, I’d been knee-deep in daily stress and anxiety as I worked in the corporate world. I’d been meditating on and off for years, but once I started consistently meditating day after day, subtle shifts began to happen within and all around me. Creative paths and opportunities opened up for me. I started to see possibilities I didn’t see before.
As a result, my website was born.
But the path that led me to having a successful website didn’t happen overnight. In fact, it often felt painfully slow.
My first month, I had about fifty visitors in total. Most of them were my family. The second month, I had maybe fifty-five. Then, sixty. I was releasing blog posts with no set schedule. I didn’t know what SEO was. (SEO = Search Engine Optimization aka the practices you use to get your website to rank on search engines like Google.)
I didn’t know who my audience was. I knew absolutely nothing except that I was following the path that felt right to me.
So each day, I practiced vibrating at the frequency of success. I’d check my website statistics and pretend there were extra zeroes at the end of the audience metrics. I surrounded my computer monitor with post-its that had affirmations on them, such as “I am a successful writer.” I read them every single day, until finally, I no longer needed them because the affirmation became part of my subconscious mind.
I didn’t wait for success to come to begin feeling successful. I knew that because this dream was within me, it was already mine. I was success. I was abundance. I was everything I could possibly dream of and more.
Because I was consistently practicing this high vibration, I was an energetic match for my desires. That meant I was in the vibration to receive.
And I did.
Every day, I received gentle nudges guiding me to the next step. These were never things I went looking for; they came to me, one at a time.
First, another new blogger I’d met through Instagram sent me an email with tips on how to become successful on Pinterest. And I hadn’t even asked! She’d just thought of me and thought it might be useful. And it was; my Pinterest views and clicks began to skyrocket once I began implementing the tips she’d sent me.
Then, I stumbled upon a podcast that talked about blogging. I decided to listen to an episode, and it talked about SEO and keyword research. So I began to use the methods I learned about in the podcast. Incorporating these practices into my blogging approach took my viewership from 100 readers a month to tens of thousands of readers every month.
Another friend shared her strategy on newsletter signups and creating free printables. My newsletter subscribers started to increase by hundreds every single week.
Then, I was offered a chance to become an affiliate for a wellness company. This led to more affiliate opportunities.
And I had originally planned on mostly focusing on meditation, mindfulness, and manifestation in the beginning, but an intuitive hunch told me I should focus more of my articles on chakras. These became my biggest and highest ranking articles my first year.
So this was my journey to reaching online success: taking one small step forward at a time based on my inner guidance system and help from the Universe.
Every time I completed one small step, the next would follow. I never would’ve been able to complete any of it if I tried to do everything all at once. (And it would’ve felt super overwhelming.)
The Universe knew exactly what I needed when I needed it, and it provided guidance one small step at a time.
There are no overnight success stories. Even people who seem to have no problem manifesting whatever they want didn’t start out that way. I certainly didn’t start out that way. And there were so many times in the beginning that I wanted to give up, but an inner voice told me to keep going. To keep trusting. I knew I was on the right path, even though I couldn’t see what was coming up ahead.
The key shift came when I realized that just because I didn’t experience instant, overnight success didn’t mean I wasn’t manifesting. I realized that these every time I was nudged in a certain direction, I was receiving. And as long as I kept following those nudges, I’d continue to receive. Every single step was a result of aligned action. Every single small step forward brought me closer to my dreams.
How To Start Taking Small Steps To Manifest Your Dreams
Each day, you have the opportunity to take steps toward manifesting your dreams.
The most profound steps are ones that are inspired by your deep inner knowing; they should feel good and right to you, even if some of them may scare you a little. This means taking inspired action based on what your intuition is telling you. Remember, this is a form of receiving. Receive this guidance. Follow it. Let the Universe continue to lead you down your authentic path.
Know that every small step you take makes a big difference in your overall journey.
If your small step is simply sending an email, buying a book, or registering for a class, it may not feel like a big thing, but it’s actually a huge step forward in your manifestation journey. Your small step can even be something as simple as writing down a list of goals or creating a vision board. Don’t put pressure on yourself to do “really big” things all the time. If you take one small step each day for the next month, you’ll be 30 steps ahead of where you are today.
Every morning, ask yourself at least one of these questions:
- Where is the Universe guiding me next?
- What feels like the next right step for me?
- What’s one small step I can do today to lead me toward my dreams?
You might find it helpful to keep a dedicated notebook just for documenting these next steps (or to include this as a section in your daily journaling practice).
Now, if nothing comes to you right away, that’s okay. Some days, you may not receive a new “next step” but rather a continuation of a previous step. Other days, your mind may feel a little foggy, or nothing will feel right to you.
That’s completely okay. This doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you.
If your mind is feeling a little clouded, don’t try to force something to come forward. Instead, focus on meditation and mindfulness practices. Let it come forward naturally. (It’s kind of like trying to force a cat out of its hiding spot. The more you try to force it, the less likely it will come to you. But when you walk away and focus on other things, eventually, it will come out in its own time.)
If you’d rather not approach this as a daily practice, you can also approach this on a weekly or monthly basis. At the beginning of a new week or month, ask the Universe for guidance on what your next steps should be. See what comes forward. Write it down so you can’t ignore it.
Once you’ve written it down, see if you can pick up on any subtle feelings within. Looking at it on the paper in front of you, does it still feel right? Is this the thing you’re meant to do?
If so, now it’s time to take aligned action. Take that step. Do the thing that feels right deep within.
What Does A Small Step Look Like?
A small step is an action you can take that will serve and support your manifestation journey.
If you don’t meditate but have been receiving signs and inner nudges to start, then your small step can simply be trying a ten-minute mindfulness meditation today.
A small step can be purchasing a book, researching a specific topic, creating a spreadsheet, buying a product or course, signing up for a free webinar – anything that feels right to you.
Note that everything I listed above is a seemingly simple thing. Nothing feels too overwhelming. This is what most of your small steps will look like: gentle nudges that feel clear, loving, and expansive.
There is a next tier, though: steps that will feel a little bigger than buying a book or signing up for a free webinar.
Let’s say you want to manifest your soulmate. You’re called to create a dating profile. Maybe you create it, but you don’t even make it active yet. Creating that profile is one single step. Making it active is the next step. Responding to a message may be the next step after that. And then, if it feels right to you, going out on a date with someone you’ve clicked with might be the next step.
That fourth step of going on a date is a little bigger than creating the initial profile. But when you look at each step from an objective perspective, you can see how aligned action and leaning into divine flow has led you to this moment. Small steps are the foundation that lead you to these bigger, more exciting steps.
And finally, there is a third tier as well: those big leaps we talked about in the introduction.
One major reason why a person may shy away from their dreams is because they believe their journey consists of just these really big leaps.
But it’s the small steps that will make up most of your journey. The big leaps will come less often, and they’re usually a result of all the small steps you’ve taken to get to this place.
For me, one of my biggest leaps was quitting my full-time corporate job to pursue writing. I didn’t make this leap overnight. I didn’t yet fully trust my inner knowing, and it took a few months before I finally made the jump. In this case, my rational brain helped me out. I found it beneficial to ask, “What’s the worst thing that can happen?” Even if it didn’t work out, I knew I could always get a new job. I also knew that even if it didn’t work out, that didn’t mean I had failed. No matter what, I would learn and grow from the process.
During your journey, you’ll take a lot of small steps, some slightly bigger steps, and a few giant leaps.
What these steps all have in common is that they’ll be a result of aligned action.
Or, in the simplest terms, they’re going to feel right.
When you’re vibrating at the frequency of your desires, you’ll be in the mode to receive guidance about these next steps. Your vibration is where it all begins. The more the vibration of peace/love/gratitude/success/abundance/joy/freedom (and anything else that feels good to you) becomes your norm, the easier it will be to receive those intuitive nudges leading you to the next step.
I want to end with this:
Sometimes, your next step won’t make sense to anyone but you. Other people will have no idea why it’s so important to you to read that book or sign up for that webinar or research a specific topic that you suddenly can’t stop thinking about.
And that’s okay.
It doesn’t matter if they understand.
What matters is that it feels right to you.

Pin this for later! How To Use Abundance Checks (With Free Printable) What Are Abundance Checks?
Abundance checks (or cheques) are blank checks that you can use to aid you in manifesting financial prosperity. Usually, these will be digital checks like the free ones you can download at the bottom of this article. If you prefer, you can use your own checkbook or create your own checks, either digital or handwritten.
On your abundance check, you’ll write your name on the “Pay to the Order of” line. Then, you’ll write down the amount of money you’re going to manifest on the “Amount” line. (I’ll go into more detail on how to fill out these checks below.)
Abundance checks can be powerful tools for supporting your manifestations and helping you to align with the energy of pure, limitless abundance. They’re also a great way to set intentions and decide what exactly you want to manifest in your reality.
Below, we’ll cover whether abundance checks actually work, how to fill out your abundance check, and more tips to get the most out of your checks. Plus, you can download your free printable abundance checks and start discovering the power of this profound manifestation tool today.

Do Abundance Checks Work?
In a word: yes.
The most famous example of an abundance check manifesting in real life is the story of how Jim Carrey wrote himself a check for ten million dollars when he was still a broke, largely unknown actor. He gave himself three years to receive this money, dating it for Thanksgiving 1995.
So what happened?
As he told Oprah Winfrey, just before Thanksgiving 1995, he found out he was going to make ten million dollars for his role in Dumb and Dumber.
So what’s the secret?
As Jim Carrey himself told Oprah, you can’t just visualize something and then do nothing. He worked hard. He believed in himself. He continually visualized his dreams manifesting in his reality.
And that’s what it comes down to.
Are you willing to open your mind and believe in your own innate ability to manifest the life you desire? Can you choose to consistently vibrate at the frequency of abundance rather than scarcity? Do you believe that the universe wants to support you in your manifestations?
Abundance checks work to the degree you’re willing to believe that they work. But don’t just believe in the check itself. Believe in yourself. Believe in this infinite universe. Believe that you are absolutely worthy of pure, limitless abundance. (Because you are always, always worthy.)
You can watch the clip of Jim Carrey’s story in this interview on Oprah.com here. (I definitely recommend it!)
To learn more about creating a life of true abundance, be sure to check out my review of Mindvalley’s Unlimited Abundance program here. In this review, I cover what you can expect in this online course, plus I give you my authentic experiences, outcomes, and recommendations. I definitely recommend checking this one out!
How To Fill Out Your Abundance Check
- First, decide what date you want to put at the top of the check. The date you write here is completely up to you. You can choose a date in the future (either a random date or one that holds special meaning to you) or write today’s date on your check. You can also write a word such as Today or Now. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the exact amount will show up today. Rather, it means you have faith that it’s all aligning for you and in the process of manifesting.
- Choose the dollar amount you want to write on the check. Pick a number that feels really good to you! Some people recommend choosing a number that seems reasonable to your conscious mind (basically, something that you feel confident in manifesting). I think the most important thing is to pick a number that excites you and feels really positive. Write the number on the “Amount” line and in the box on the right-hand side of the check.
- Fill out the “Memo” field. You can approach this two ways. The first method is to fill out the memo field as the reason why the Universe is giving you this money. You’ll see this in the first example below: “For being your authentic self and sharing your gifts with the world.” The second method is to fill in what the money is going to be used for. So if you want to manifest five thousand dollars for a vacation, you might write “Dream vacation” in the memo field.
Here are two examples showing how the abundance check might be filled out:
How To Use Your Abundance Check
So once you have your abundance check, what do you do with it?
Again, this is all about your personal preference. Some people like to look at their checks every day, while others prefer to store it somewhere safe where it isn’t always in front of them.
Personally, I like to keep my checks in my wallet, as this practice feels really positive and powerful for me.
However, if seeing your check every day gives you anxiety (or causes you to obsessively wonder when your manifestation is going to come), it might be better to store it somewhere you won’t constantly be looking at it.
An important aspect of manifesting is being able to let go and surrender your manifestations to the universe, not worrying about when your manifestation is going to arrive. So if you find yourself in worry mode, just place your abundance check somewhere safe, preferably somewhere that has good energy. You can even put a piece of citrine, pyrite, or another powerful gemstone with it to amplify the energy of the check.
Here are some ways you might use your abundance check:
- Store it in your wallet, and each time you see your check in there, feel all the positive emotions of having that amount of money right now.
- Hang it up on a bulletin board and take some time to look at it each day. Visualize the experience of receiving this amount of money, and tune your energy to the frequency of pure abundance.
- Place it in a drawer, a lockbox, or somewhere safe. Surrender your desires to the universe, and walk forward in faith and trust.
Tips & Tricks For Making Your Abundance Check Work
- My favorite trick to amplify the power of an abundance check is to add a bit of manifesting oil to the check after I’ve written it. Manifesting oils are blends of essential oils and herbs formulated to aid you in manifesting your desires. You can learn more about different types of manifesting oils and how to use them here.
- Another one of my favorite ways to use an abundance check is in conjunction with the pillow method for manifestation. Place your check under your pillow for 7 to 10 days. Each night before you fall asleep, visualize receiving this money, allowing the positive energy of this beautiful abundance to flow through you.
- An important aspect of manifestation is following your intuition. Sometimes, your intuition will guide you to follow a certain path, take a certain action, or do something that you wouldn’t normally do. When you feel these inner nudges, trust them! That just may be the universe guiding you to the exact amount of money you’ve asked for. You can read my complete guide to tapping into your intuition here.
- And make sure that after your intuition speaks to you, you take inspired action!
- And finally, as with all manifestation practices, make sure you’re regularly checking in with yourself. What vibrations are you currently emitting? Are you vibrating at the frequency of abundance? Regularly practice allowing pure, abundant energy to flow through you. Visualization is a powerful tool to help you with this.
