How to Manifest the Thing You Want Most

If you’re new to intuitive or psychic studies, you might have questions about manifestation, including what it means, why we do it, and how it can work wonders in the average person’s everyday life. 

Firstly, manifestation is all about setting intentions—whether you do so out loud, on paper, or in your heart—as a means of visualizing something you want to happen in the future. This could be as simple as wishing for a bit of sunny weather during a cold and dreary season, or as complex as meeting the love of your life. Heard of a mantra before? Think of manifestation as a mantra in action!

Manifesting is a tool that all of us have access to if we’re willing to try. It’s a fulfilling exercise that brings us closer to our dreams, and therefore our soul’s true purpose, but there are a few important things to learn before you begin. Let’s talk about how to manifest your deepest desires and start creating the life you’re dreaming of.

Steps to Take in Manifesting

As a practice, manifestation is intrinsically linked to intuition. In fact, they’re codependent since strong intuition begets strong manifestation, and manifestation is a healthy outlet for intuitive energy. Our intuition stems from soul-level knowledge that guides us through life like a compass built on our heart, and it all connects back to our ability to manifest. 

Successful manifestation is also a product of consistency, confidence, and clarity. Certain steps ensure that you’re maximizing your odds of finally seeing that idea come to fruition, such as keeping a journal, focusing your spirit, and timing your intentions wisely.

Keep a Journal

Perhaps you’ve heard of dream journaling immediately after waking in order to remember what you’ve dreamt of each night. A manifestation journal serves the same purpose and helps you get a better grasp of what you’re trying to achieve.

Those who write down their manifestations in a dedicated journal often see greater results. It forces you to pause, reflect, and create a physical goal for yourself, as you have to think about writing and actually see it in front of you. I can personally attest that there’s a real payoff in setting your intentions on the page!

Even just using the Notes app on your phone to track and reiterate your manifestations in visible words is helpful. Whatever is easiest and most helpful for you, do it. Journaling will keep your manifestations at the forefront even as you reevaluate your desires and tailor your process.

Focus the Spirit

By meditating, we elevate our corporeal form and detach from our physical one. That separation makes way for more spiritual endeavors—like manifesting! I always recommend practicing meditation to both ground yourself and center your spirit. That way, you’re fully concentrated on how to manifest your dreams with little to no distractions. 

Also, clearing your mind through meditation leaves more room for manifestation, therefore strengthening your resolve and contributing to the vision you seek to make reality. It’s an everyday habit that further propels you toward what you want most from life. 

Time It Wisely

Believe it or not, there are better and worse times for manifesting. Success is all about bringing your intentions and the world around you into harmony. If you’re out of sync or out of tune with the universe, you may not be successful, or worse, manifest something you didn’t expect. How do you tell if it’s the perfect moment? Just look up!

The best time of any given calendar month for manifesting is during a new moon: this is when intentions should be set, as it’s the beginning of the moon’s phases to fullness and practically crackling with psychic power. A full moon is also a good time to manifest, but it’s more for letting go of what isn’t serving you rather than starting something new.

People mistakenly manifest during ill-advised times, such as during eclipses or retrogrades. This method of bringing your vision to life depends on many factors, including the universal energy of the moment. If you’re trying to manifest in the middle of eclipse season (the astrological equivalent of a category-five hurricane) then you’re asking for trouble!

Even the time of day comes into play. Mornings are ideal for aligning the day ahead with your goals, and evenings are better suited for tapping into your subconscious mind. Manifesting under specific transits, such as a strong Venus aspect for romantic manifestations, also has an effect.

Other Manifesting Boons

Journaling, meditating, timing—these are just a handful of suggestions for how to get your manifesting going. However, for all of its approachability, the practice of manifesting can be tricky. There’s quite a lot that needs to happen inside if you want to draw something from the universe.

In many cases, a spiritual teacher or mentor can unlock your potential if you’re interested in one-on-one support. But you can implement manifestation through smaller steps as well, as long as you make sure to follow through.

Visualization. Let your active imagination run wild! Picture what it would feel like to get what you want and live in that feeling for a little while each day. Also, use positive language and imagery to paint that picture. You could even try crafting a vision board to keep you on track.

Patience. No matter what, don’t let yourself get frustrated or throw in the towel early. Trust me, gratitude goes a very long way, and your determination is pivotal to the success of manifesting your desires. Trust in the process and don’t give up.

Action. Lastly, remember to demonstrate your commitment to the manifestations you’ve made by living authentically and actively working, meaning that your actions continuously reflect your intentions. Don’t sit back and wait. You want that promotion? Manifest… but hustle too!

Say It with Your Soul

Your manifesting journey will be fraught with mixed messages and missed opportunities, but it’ll also be one of the most rewarding and life-affirming practices you’ve ever experienced. Not only does it shape your future—it redefines your mindset so that you’re living in line with your goals and taking concrete action to manifest those goals.

I’m here to support you on this journey toward intuitive manifestation with online courses and free resources to develop and expand your intuitive skillset. Manifesting is as ancient and cherished as intuition itself, and I encourage everyone to explore their psychic side to see just how expansive and wondrous our inner world truly is.
