Manifesting is a pretty big topic on the internet these days, with social media chock full of people claiming to teach you how to you "manifest your dream life" and giving you "tips for manifesting". While manifestation often seems like magic, there is always more to it than meets the eye.
Manifestation is the process of bringing your desires and goals into reality through positive thoughts and actions. While this is a pretty clinical definition, it encompasses the fact that manifesting is a powerful tool for creating the life you want and achieving your dreams. There are many different things you can manifest, including money, love, success, and happiness (the most common is money - many of the Instagram coaches lean into helping their clients manifest money and success in their careers).
One of the keys to successful manifesting is to have a clear and specific goal in mind. The more specific and detailed your goal, the easier it will be to manifest. For example: it will be easier to manifest when your intention is "I will make $50,000 this month" rather than "I will make more money".
It is also important to focus on positive thoughts and feelings and to take consistent action toward your goal. While many people believe that manifesting will simply bring you what you desire, it must also be accompanied by actions toward achieving that goal. If you want to manifest more money, like in the example above, you need to take action toward that goal in conjunction with your manifestation practice. Remember, you make the magic happen.
Practicing manifestation can be done in many different ways, and the best method for you will depend on your personal preferences and lifestyle. Here are a few of my favorite ways to practice manifestation:
-
Visualization: This is one of the most popular methods of manifesting, and it involves using your imagination to create vivid images of your desired outcome. You can close your eyes, focus on your goal and visualize it as if it has already happened. This helps to create a sense of certainty and clarity around your goal, which makes it more likely to manifest.
-
Affirmations: This method involves repeating positive statements that align with your goal. For example, if you want to manifest more money, you might say something like, "I am worthy and deserving of abundance, and I am now attracting more money into my life." Repeat these affirmations regularly, and they will help to reprogram your mind and align it with your goal. I like to write these affirmations out somewhere you will see them every day, like on a bathroom mirror. This way, you never forget to repeat the affirmations!
-
Gratitude: This method is based on the idea that the more you appreciate what you already have, the more you will attract into your life. You can practice gratitude by writing down things you are thankful for, and by focusing on the positive aspects of your life.
-
Meditate: Meditation is a powerful tool for manifesting as it allows you to focus your mind and connect with your inner self, which can help you to align with your goals. During meditation, you can focus on your goal, visualize it and repeat affirmations. You can also use crystals during meditation to help focus your mind and your intentions, more on which is detailed below.
-
Journaling: This method can be done in combination with any other method. It involves writing down your goal, feelings, and experiences in a journal. This will help you to track your progress and to focus on your goal on a regular basis.
Ultimately, the key to successful manifestation is to find a method that resonates with you and to practice it consistently. Remember to stay positive, believe in yourself, and trust in the universe to bring your desired outcome to you.
Crystals can also be a helpful tool for manifesting, as they are believed to have certain properties that can enhance your intentions and help to attract positive energy. Some crystals that are particularly useful for manifesting include:
-
Citrine: This is one of my favorite crystals for manifestation - it is literally known as the "stone of abundance" and is said to attract wealth and prosperity. It is also believed to promote creativity and self-expression, making it useful for manifesting success in your career or business. This is the ultimate stone for manifesting, and one that I recommend everyone have in their collection. You can shop my one-of-a-kind citrine pieces HERE.
-
Rose Quartz: This pink crystal is said to be associated with love and relationships. It is believed to help attract love, heal emotional wounds, and promote feelings of self-worth and self-love. Rose quartz is a very gentle and loving stone and is very easy to work with. To add rose quartz to your collection, check out my selection of crystals and jewelry HERE.
-
Clear Quartz: Clear quartz is said to be a "master healer" crystal, as it is believed to have a wide range of healing properties. It is also said to enhance the power of other crystals and to amplify your intentions, making it a useful tool for manifesting in general. I don't currently have any clear quartz in stock, but if you are interested in one-of-a-kind clear quartz jewelry, send me a message on social media or HERE to get started.
-
Amethyst: Known as the "stone of spiritual growth," Amethyst is said to promote clarity of the mind and enhance intuition, making it useful for manifesting spiritual growth and inner peace. Amethyst is a crystal that is good for so many things and is a great crystal for beginning collectors and manifestors. Take a look at amethyst crystals and jewelry HERE.
To use crystals for manifesting, you can simply carry them with you, place them in your environment, or meditate with them. You can also program your crystals with your intention by holding them in your hand and visualizing your goal as you focus on your intention. Remember to cleanse your crystals regularly with sage or selenite (more on cleansing later) to keep them clear of negative energies.
Manifesting can be a powerful tool for creating the life you want, and crystals can be a helpful tool for enhancing your intentions and attracting positive energy. Remember to focus on specific, positive goals, and surround yourself with positive energy, including the energy of crystals. But don't forget - you are the one that makes the magic happen.
