Manifestation has become a popular topic nowadays, and you can find more and more people talking and writing about it.

People everywhere, have always sought ways to improve their life, get money and the things they want, attract love and be happy.

One of the best techniques to get the things we want is the technique of manifestation.

This technique is not something new. It has been around for thousands of years. However, few people knew about it.

It has been called, the power of thoughts, mindpower, the law of opulence, creative visualization and the law of attraction. Now, the term manifestation, or manifesting, has been popularized.

What Is Manifestation?

What is manifestation and does it work? What does it mean to manifest something.

Let’s start with a few definitions.

The short and concise definition is:
Manifestation is the act of bringing into real life the things you want. It is act of turning your thoughts, desires and dreams into reality.

The manifestation process can help you achieve your dreams and desires, manifest money, manifest love, improve health, and manifest the life you want.

Wikipedia defines manifestation as follows:
“Manifestation refers to various self-help strategies intended to bring about a personal goal, primarily by focusing one’s thoughts upon the desired outcome. The techniques are based on the law of attraction.”

Wikipedia also says, “The process involves positive thinking, directing requests to ‘the universe’, and involves action-steps on the part of the individual.”

What Are the Tools of Manifestation?

Have you tried to manifest something? Did you persevere, or quit after a few days, since nothing happened?

If you got no results, you must have missed some important steps.

The main tools of manifestation are your thoughts, your mind, the law of attraction, and creative visualization.

Other useful tools are affirmations and vision boards.

The Recipe for Successful Manifestation

Here are the essential requirements for making this power work:

Feelings – They supply the energy to your thoughts. To make electrical devices work you need electricity. To make thoughts and visualization work, and create the things you want, you need to put feeling into the process.

This means awakening desire, interest, ambition, and the feeling that you already possess what you want.

Faith – You need to truly believe that you can get what you want. You should have no doubts at all. Doubts weaken your thoughts, and drive away your dreams.

Focus – You need to focus your attention and direct your mental power to the mental image you create in your mind.

You need to fix your attention on the mental image you create in your mind.

If you allow your mind to wander wherever it wills when you are trying to manifest, you are wasting your energy and not giving your thoughts the power, which they need to manifest your goal.

Just think about successful people, did they just thought about a certain goal for a few minutes in a lukewarm way and got what they wanted? No, there was passion, ambition, strong desire, perseverance and sustained focus.

To manifest something you need motivation, positive thinking and strong desire. You need to open your mind to opportunities and take action.

Why Manifestation Fails Sometimes

• If you failed, you didn’t do it right.
• If you tried manifestation and it did not work, it’s most probably that you have not done it right.
• Maybe you tried to attract the perfect spouse, a good job, friends, or something else and it did not work.
• Maybe you got disappointed and frustrated when nothing happened within a few days.

Disappointment and frustration awaken negative feelings, and these feelings manifest more disappointments and frustrations.

If you tried and nothing happened, you need to detach yourself from the negative feelings, otherwise, you will attract more disappointments.

You need to check what you did wrong, and learn how to proceed correctly.

With manifestation, you can have almost everything you desire, love, success, money, friends, a house or a car. However, you have to be willing to work for what you manifest.

When an opportunity arrives you need to recognize it, step out of your comfort zone, and take action.

You can’t just visualize a perfect body, a dream job, or lots of money, and expect it to happen immediately through thin air. You need to follow certain guidelines.

There are signs on the way that you are making progress. You need to heed them and take the necessary steps.

If you’re trying to manifest a million dollars or a Ferrari next month, you will have great doubts that you will get them, unless you are already a millionaire.

If you are trying to manifest your dream job, but don’t have the skills for it, you might not believe you will get it. No one will hire you if you don’t have the skills for the job. You first need to get the skills and qualifications for the job.

It is wiser to set smaller, realistic goals that you believe you can achieve, at first. Once you start manifesting these goals, your confidence will increase, and you will be able to do greater things.

What Does it Mean to “Manifest” Your Dreams?

To manifest something is to create it using the power of your thoughts, imagination and your subconscious mind, and to get the help of the Universal Mind.

It means making your dreams come true, through the correct use of your thoughts, imagination and manifesting techniques.

When you believe in something, focus on it and visualize it, you change how you see the world and how you perceive others. You open yourself to receiving and recognizing opportunities and possibilities.

The Universe responds to your vibes and offers opportunities to those who are open to receive them.

For example, let’s say you want a car. You decide whether it’s new or second-hand car. You visualize its shape and color, and imagine yourself driving it.

You also check out how much it costs, and what are your financial options. Then, you find yourself thinking more and more of this car. You see such cars on the road, in magazines, and in other places.

You become interested in reading ads about cars, or visit cars showrooms.

Sooner or later, you will be guided to the car you want, and the circumstances would be right for you to own this car.

Using the power of manifestation you might:

• Find a better paying job.
• Get a loan you can afford to pay.
• Get a promotion or bonus at work.
• Earn money from an investments.
• You might get the car through your job.
• You might even receive it as a gift.

There are many channels through which you can get the car.

How to Manifest Anything

For creating your life as you want it, proceed as follows:

1. Decide what is it that you want.
2. In your imagination, create a clear mental image of what you want.
3. Focus on this image with faith and love.
4. Treat the mental image you created in your mind as reality.
5. Believe and act as if you have already achieved your goal, or being in the process of achieving it.
6. Ask the Universe for guidance, and believe that it is attracting what you want into your life.
7. It would be a good idea to start with short term goals, and after gaining experience and confidence move to long term goals.

Benefits of Spiritual Wellness

According to the Center for Lifestyle Medicine and Wellness Care, the benefits of spirituality can include:

• Help reduce stress and depression
• Reduce anxiety
• Lower blood pressure (and therefore, risk of heart disease)
• Strengthen your immune system and lower blood sugar
• Help sustain concentration, memory and cognition

No matter what, make sure your journey is in the hands of someone you trust – you don’t have to do it alone.

Activity 3: Take ten during the workday to reflect

The most important element of self-care is dedication. When we’re busy, and work tasks and to-do lists are heaping up, it can be hard to give ourselves permission to do something as seemingly selfish and “unproductive” as taking care of our own needs. But this way of thinking can lead to burnout, and chances are, if you’ve had these thoughts, you’re neglecting your spiritual side, too.

Reduce anxiety by giving yourself permission to take 10 minutes out of the workday (like a cigarette break, except it’s good for your soul and won’t give you lung disease) to attend to your spiritual needs. Maybe this is a moment of silent prayer, reflection via journaling, or an anxiety-reducing exercise––it’s up to you. The important thing is that you prioritize yourself and give your spiritual wellness the attention it deserves.

Activity 4: Meditation

The benefits of meditation for your overall wellness––including stress reduction, improved emotional health, boosted self-awareness and more––are well-known. If you’re not a practitioner already, dip your toe in with this simple, attainable intro exercise:

• Find a comfortable, seated position in a quiet, distraction-free space. (No lotus pose necessary! Be gentle with yourself as you start your journey.)
• Set a timer for five minutes. (It’ll feel long, trust me!)
• Begin by focusing on your breathing. Count to five on your inhale, and five on your exhale. Focus on the feeling of the breath as it enters and exits your body.
• If your mind wanders, that’s okay! You’re doing an exercise with mental muscles you’ve never used before––it’s normal to find it difficult. Just bring your mind back, gently, to your breath.

If you do better with prompting, join a meditation group or get started with a free trial to a popular meditation app like Simple Habit or Headspace.

Activity 5: Yoga

Yoga pairs elements of meditation and breathing with a full-body workout, a holistic approach that increases flexibility, improves overall health, promotes better sleep and more, all while reducing stress and anxiety.

There are tons of resources for starting your own practice even if you can’t find yoga classes nearby. We love the free YouTube videos from Austin, Texas-based teacher Yoga With Adriene, and also the luxe lifestyle box Do A Shot of Yoga!, which sets you up with props, yoga journals, learning resources and more. Stick with this one––it gets easier, and the benefits for physical health and mental health are worth it.

Activity 6: Explore ancient practices

Many modern practitioners in recent years have turned to ancient tradition to inspire their spiritual growth. With the resurgence in interest in astrology,  and crystal healing, it’s no surprise to spy crystals on your friend’s dashboard or spot someone walking down the street in a “Witch, Please!” shirt as capitalism collides with craft.

Activity 6: Care for the body

At the base of Maslow’s hierarchy are those physiological needs: In short, you’ve got to make sure you’re taking care of your physical health before you can approach spiritual wellness. Make self-care part of your practice: exercise, drink water, and eat right.

Try indulging in some DIY bath bombs, or treat yourself to a therapist-curated bliss experience with Therabox, which combines a monthly “happiness activity” with wellness goodies like aromatherapy, bath salts, skincare products and more. Caring for that body reminds you that you’re dedicated to yourself, and frees you up to focus on the big stuff.

Activity 7: Do good works

Volunteerism, mentoring, and giving back your communities can powerfully nourish you. Revisit those self-reflection questions to consider the values that drive you and how you exhibit them in your actions. Whether you think globally and act locally or pursue good works across the world, volunteering can help you just as much as it helps others.

Activity 8: Build your own rituals

Your spirituality is yours and yours alone – so honor the things that matter to you. Consider making a DIY shrine to celebrate what’s at your spiritual core, or use this easy worksheet to create your own rituals.

If you’re curious about herbalism and crystals, there are a wealth of avenues to explore. We recommend dipping your toe in with Tamed Wild Apothecary, a monthly herbalism subscription with an emphasis on teas, tinctures, essential oils, crystals and more, plus a new intention-setting ritual each month. For a more modern feel, check out Goddess Provisions, an empowering box that promotes “the goddess within” with jewelry, bath products, crystals, snacks and more.

Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, keep the faith––you’re on the right path.
