Manifestation is the gift that keeps on giving, especially when you discover a manifestation technique that works for you. The more you do it, the more you get back. Not only will you see an increase in what you manifest for yourself, but also in what you’re able to manifest for others.
There are endless ways to manifest, but not all manifestation methods are created equal. Some work better than others and some are more powerful than others.
In this article, we’ll explore 31 manifestation techniques that actually work. By the end, you’ll have a better understanding of how to manifest your desires and you’ll be armed with a toolkit of manifestation techniques that you can use to manifest anything you want.
33 Manifestation Techniques to Manifest Your Desires
1. Scripting
- Scripting is the process of writing down what you want to manifest, in detail. It reads like an overview of your life, offering great insight into the lifestyle that you want to manifest so the universe can provide what you want.
An example of scripting would be as follows:
I am living in my dream house! It is the epitome of luxury, comfort and great style. Every time I walk around the rooms of my home I am filled with so much joy I could burst! I am so grateful that I get to call this beautiful abode my forever home. Thank you Universe, thank you!
Rather than writing “I want to be…” you script in the present tense by starting sentences with “I am…”. This affirms to the universe that you are in alignment with what you want and, as a result, you will manifest your dreams into your reality.
The more specific you can be, the better. Include things like timelines, your senses, and other relevant details. When you have finished your script and you’re happy with how it makes you feel, read your script daily – aloud or in your head– and feel as though it’s already happening.
Doing so programs your subconscious mind to start believing what you have written. Over time you will begin to manifest your desires and your reality will begin to resemble your script.
2. Letter From Your Future Self
Write a letter from your future self to your current self. This is a great way to design your future reality and manifest the outcome that you want for yourself.
Start by getting a pen and paper. Write a date a year from now at the top of the page. Then, pretend that you are writing a letter to yourself from this future date. Write about what your life is like, what you have achieved and how you are feeling.
Be as detailed as possible, and really imagine what it would be like to have everything that you want. Write about your relationship status, your career, your lifestyle and anything else that you can think of.
Once you have finished writing the letter, read it over and really focus on the emotions that you are feeling. Visualise yourself in this future reality, and believe that it is possible for you.
3. Affirmations
The power of words is undeniable – especially when they are in the form of affirmations.
An affirmation is a short, powerful statement that affirms something you want to be true. For example, “I am healthy and whole.”
When you repeat an affirmation aloud or in your head, you are training your mind to believe what the affirmation says.
This allows you to manifest what you want by reprogramming your subconscious mind. It’s based on the law of attraction, which states that like attracts like.
So, if you focus on positive thoughts and feelings, you will attract positive experiences into your life.
You can try to create your own affirmations or check out 50 Positive Affirmations for Your Soul. Keep your affirmations short, sweet, and to the point. Make them personal to you and use present tense language. The more you recite them, the more they will work!
4. Ground Your Energy
Before you can manifest your desires, it is important to ground your energy. This will help to ensure that your manifestation comes from a place of balance and harmony.
Grounding your energy is where you connect with the Earth and let go of any excess negative energy that you may be carrying. When you have grounded your energy, you will feel more connected to the Earth and more centred within yourself. This is the perfect state from which you can manifest your desires.
There are several ways to ground your energy, but one of the simplest and most effective methods is to connect with nature and plant your bare feet on the ground.
Go outside, take off your shoes and spend a few minutes each day standing on the Earth.
Allow your body to connect with Mother Nature and feel your energy grounding and stabilising. As you plant your feet into the ground your body begins to absorb the negative ions that are present in the earth.
These ions are negatively charged particles on the surface of the earth. They act like antioxidants, which help to protect your body from harmful free radicals. Grounding promotes healing and wellbeing in the most natural form.
When you practice grounding, you will create a strong foundation from which to manifest your desires. As you cleanse yourself you will elevate your mood and increase your vibrational frequency to one that aligns with abundance.
5. Abundance Checks
Manifest money with abundance checks! This is a fun and easy way to change your vibration around money.
To do this, think about the amount of money that you want to manifest. It can be any amount, large or small. Once you have decided on the amount, you can start to fill out your blank check.
You can make one yourself or download our abundance check template here. Fill in your name as the payee and write in the amount of money that you would like to receive.
Be sure to date it for when you want to receive the money. You can also add a ‘memo’ to the check, which is what you will use the money for. This helps to increase your chances of receiving the money.
Once you have completed your blank check, place it somewhere where you will see it every day. This could be on your fridge, in your wallet or on your vision board.
By looking at your check every day, you will keep your manifestation at the forefront of your mind and level up your money vibration. As you do this, you will start to see opportunities for manifestation open up in your life.
You can also take it one step further and write out a whole stack of blank checks. This is a fun way to really let go of any limiting beliefs around money and increase your chances of manifestation.
6. The 17-Second Rule
Pioneered by the metaphysical entity Abraham Hicks, the 17-second rule is a way to Manifest What You Want in your life by keeping your vibration high.
The idea is that you should spend at least 17 seconds thinking about something you want and feeling good to start the attraction process.
According to Hicks, it takes 17 seconds for the universe to start responding to the vibration that you are emitting. When this happens manifestation begins to take hold.
The process is simple. All you have to do is choose something you want and then spend at least 17 seconds focusing on your desire in the form of a pure thought.
The more time you spend thinking about what you want and feeling good, the quicker you will attract what you want. Keep going beyond 17 seconds till you reach 68 seconds – this is where the magic really kicks in!
7. The Pillow Method
Manifest your goals in your sleep with the Pillow Method. This simple yet effective technique involves writing your goal or desire on a piece of paper and placing it under your pillow before you go to sleep.
As you drift off to sleep, hold the thought of your written affirmation in your mind. Your subconscious mind will take in your words and start working on manifesting your desire.
When you wake up in the morning, you will be one step closer to achieving your goal! Keep doing this method for the next few days and you will manifest your desires in no time.
So if you want to manifest something in your life, give the Pillow Method a try and see how it works for you!
8. The Whisper Manifestation Method
The whisper manifestation method is a way to get what you want by influencing a specific person. This method uses visualisation to infiltrate the subconscious mind and spark the manifestation process.
To do this method, think of something you want that involves another person. For example, if you want a raise you would use the whisper method to influence your boss.
Then, go to a quiet location and visualise your chosen person in an environment that is familiar to you both. Picture yourself as a ghost floating up to them. They are completely unaware of your presence.
Next, whisper what you want into their ear and feel as though that message is sinking into their subconscious. It’s that simple! Using this manifestation method can get you super accurate results – so use it with caution…
9. Practice Gratitude
Practising gratitude is a must. A thankful heart and mind are the cornerstones of manifestation. When you are grateful for what you have, you open yourself up to receiving more good things.
However, if you focus on what you don’t have, you will only attract more lack into your life.
The key is to find a balance between being grateful for what you have while also having an intention for what you want.
This can be done by keeping a gratitude journal or simply taking a few moments each day to think about the things you are grateful for.
Not only will this help you manifest your dreams, but it will also improve your overall wellbeing.
10. Healing Crystals
Healing crystals are a powerful way to focus your energy and attract your desires into your reality.
Each crystal has its own unique properties and can be used for different purposes. For example, amethyst is good for psychic protection and rose quartz is the stone of love.
To use crystals for manifestation, you can either carry them around with you or place them in an area of your home where you want to focus the energy.
You can also create a crystal grid, which is a powerful way to magnify your intentions and achieve your goals.
11. Feng Shui
Feng Shui and manifestation go hand in hand. This ancient Chinese practice is all about creating harmony and balance in your environment.
When your home is in alignment, it will be easier for you to manifest your desires. Your home energetically represents your life.
If your wealth corner is messy and full of junk you will notice that your finances are also chaotic. However, if you take the time to create a space that is peaceful and serene, you will see positive changes and money will flow to you.
By taking regimented steps such as rearranging the position and location of your furniture, using certain colours around your home and decluttering you can invite positive Chi into your space.
12. The Two-Cup Method
Quench your thirst for manifestation success with the Two Cup Method. Using this technique can help you to shift realities and enter new dimensions.
This simple yet effective manifestation method involves filling two glasses with water. One glass represents your current reality and the other represents your desired reality.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- One empty glass
- One glass filled with water
- A label
- A pen
To begin with, make sure that the glass for your current reality is filled with water and that your desired reality glass is empty. These glasses should be clearly marked using the label and pen.
Take a few moments to focus your attention on each glass. First, think about how your current reality feels. Tap into the emotions that arise within you and really connect with your thoughts and feelings.
Then move your attention to the desired reality glass. Visualise what you want clearly in your mind and feel the emotions of already having it.
Then, begin to pour the water from your current reality into your desired reality glass. Imagine that you are shifting dimensions, going from your current reality to the one that you want to experience.
Finally, drink the water in the glass and feel as though everything is well. You are exactly where you are meant to be and your manifestation has taken place.
13. Belief Assessment
Self-awareness is an important tool in manifestation. A belief assessment helps you to gain a better understanding of your conscious and subconscious beliefs.
To do a belief assessment, start by identifying an area in your life where you feel stuck.
Then, make a list of all the beliefs that you have about this area.
Finally, assess how these beliefs are impacting your life and what you can do to change them.
For example, if you want to manifest more money but you believe that money is evil, your belief is likely impacting your ability to manifest wealth.
In this case, you would need to change your beliefs about money in order to open yourself up to receiving more of it.
As you work on your beliefs you will shift your mindset and tune your frequency to one of abundance. Going from negative beliefs to positive ones will transform your manifestation abilities.
14. The 10/10/10 Method
If you need to improve your mood and focus your energy on your goals it’s time that you tried the 10/10/10.
This technique is simple. First, write a list of ten things that you want to manifest. It can be anything from a new business to a love interest.
Next, in a new list write 10 things that you’re grateful for. This will put you in an abundance mindset and help you to connect with the energy of prosperity.
Finally, write 10 things that you enjoy doing. Write about your hobbies and activities that bring you joy.
This manifestation method is all about putting your attention on what you desire and what makes you feel good. When you focus your energy on the things that make you happy, you will start to attract more of what you want into your life.
So if you’re feeling stuck, or just need a little pick-me-up, try the 10/10/10 method and see how it works for you!
15. Journalling
Writing out your manifestations is a powerful way to bring them into reality. When you put your thoughts and feelings down on paper, you are essentially putting your desires out into the universe.
There are several different ways that you can journal for manifestation. One particularly effective method is to write about what you want to manifest using journal prompts.
Here is some journal prompts that you can use to manifest your dream life:
- What are your biggest goals, and why?
- How would you feel if you manifested ____________?
- What can you do to help you manifest your dreams into reality?
- What is your intention for today?
- What is holding you back from becoming the person you want to be?
- How would you act, think and present yourself in your daily life if you had everything that you want to manifest?
These prompts will help to get you thinking about your manifestation in a more specific and intentional way. The more clarity you have around what you want, the easier it will be to bring it into your reality.
So if you’re ready to manifest your dream life, grab a journal and get started!
16. “Wouldn’t it be nice if…?”
If you want to pivot your energetic point of attraction from a negative place to one of abundance and positivity, this method is ideal for you.
When you’re trying to manifest something but it hasn’t appeared in your reality yet, instead of focusing on its absence ask yourself “wouldn’t it be nice if…?” and think about the positive outcome that you want.
This technique will help if you are struggling with resistance. This is a simple yet powerful game that will align your vibration with what you want to manifest.
It also helps you to get into the mindset that it’s not the end of the world if you don’t manifest what you want. From this viewpoint, it becomes easier and effortless for you to attract your desires to you.
Here’s an example of using Wouldn’t it be nice if…?:
If you’re on a road trip and you’re worried about hitting traffic, say to yourself “wouldn’t it be nice if this drive was easy and the traffic was light?”
If you’re worried about a situation at work, say to yourself “wouldn’t it be nice if everything worked out in my favour?”
You’ll notice a difference in your mood and will become more successful at manifesting positive outcomes for yourself and others.
17. Visualisation
Use your creative powers and visualisation to create the life you want. Creative visualisation is a technique that allows you to use the power of your imagination to manifest your desires.
To do this, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Spend a few minutes picturing what it is that you want. Really see it, feel it, and believe that it is possible for you. See yourself in the situation, feel the emotions and connect with the experience.
The more detailed and vivid you can make your visualisation, the better. Include as many senses as possible so that you can really feel as though you are living your dream.
Finally, don’t forget to say thank you to the Universe! As you visualise your desire, remember to be grateful for it as though it has already happened. This will help to raise your vibration and attract your manifestation into your reality.
18. 369 Manifestation Method
The 369 Manifestation Method is a powerful way to manifest your desires.
The numbers 369 are part of a mystical code. According to Nikola Tesla, if a person understood the significance of 3, 6, and 9 (or 369), they would have “a key to the universe.”
The 369 method was created by Karin Yee. It involves writing out your desire in the form of an affirmation 3 times in the morning, 6 times at midday, and 9 times at night before you go to sleep.
For example, if you want to manifest a new job, your affirmation would be “I am so grateful that I have been offered the perfect job.” You would then follow the 369 sequence.
You can use the 369 method for any desire that you want to manifest. The key is to focus on your intention and really feel the emotions of already having your manifestation. The more you can connect with the feeling of having your desire, the quicker it will come into reality.
19. Place Mat Process
If you’re overwhelmed and need some help managing your life the Place Mat Process will help you get some order and manifest magic.
First, get a large piece of paper and draw a line down the middle of it. At the top of one section write “Things I will do today” and “Things I would like the universe to do” on the other.
On the first list write down the things that you intend to do today. These must be things that really matter to you.
Then add all the other tasks onto the other side labelled “Things I would like the universe to do”.
Doing this will make you feel lighter and it will also help you to trust the universe. This is a great exercise to help you let go and set your intentions.
When you hand tasks over to the universe it will attract opportunities, people and events that will help you manifest the things you want.
20. Act As If
The act as if method is all about pretending that your manifestation has already happened.
How would you feel if your desire was already a reality? What would you be doing differently? How would you behave?
Think about what your life would be like and then start living it!
If you want to manifest a baby, make a nursery in your house, and buy some baby clothes and toys.
If you want to manifest a new job, start behaving as though you already have it. Dress for success, act confident and go after what you want.
The more you can act as if your manifestation is already here, the closer you will be to making it a reality.
So go ahead and give it a try!
21. The 55x5 Method
How would you feel if we told you could manifest your dream life in 5 days? With the 55×5 method, this is possible!
This technique is all about focusing your attention on one desire and writing it out 55 times for 5 days in a row.
For example, if you want to manifest a new car, you would write “I am so grateful that I am now the owner of a brand new car.” 55 times in a row every day for 5 days.
The key to making this method work is to really feel the emotions of already having your desire. The more you can connect with the feeling of having your manifestation, the quicker it will come into your reality.
So if you want to manifest something in your life, give the 55×5 method a try and see how it works for you!
22. Focus Wheel
A focus wheel is a simple yet effective tool that you can use to visualise your manifestation.
To create a focus wheel, start by drawing a large circle on a piece of paper. Then draw another smaller circle in the middle, leaving yourself ample room between each circle.
Then, draw 11 spokes off the smaller circle connecting it to the bigger circle till you have the shape of a wheel.
Inside the smaller circle, write what you want to attract. Then, in the ten sections outside of the smaller circle, write down all the reasons why you want this thing in your life.
As you go around your wheel and fill it with positive statements you will begin to see how much you resonate with your words.
It will build you up and make you feel more aligned with what you want to manifest.
23. Eavesdrop Technique
You can put your imagination to good use with the eavesdrop technique. Coined by Neville Goddard, this manifestation method will get you great results!
The eavesdrop technique is when you imagine that you can overhear a positive conversation that is about you.
In your mind, picture a situation where people are talking about how successful you are and that you have managed to manifest your desire.
Let their words fill you with confidence and make you feel as though you have achieved your goals.
Let your imagination run wild and be detailed when you think about the words that people are saying about you. Make sure that the conversation you are eavesdropping on is one that boosts your mood!
24. The Congratulations Technique
If your love language is words of affirmation, this is perfect for you. A little bit of validation every once in a while goes a long way, especially when self-doubt starts to creep up.
The congratulations technique gives you the perfect opportunity to use the power of words as part of your manifestation routine.
This method is where you imagine that people are congratulating you on having achieved your goals. Visualise them celebrating your success and telling you how well you’ve done.
Feel good as you are showered with praise and enjoy the attention. As you do this you will feel elated and ready to make your visualisation come to life.
This is an uplifting technique that will send abundance your way. Try this method for at least 5 minutes a day to see progress.
25. Sound Healing
The hum of a singing bowl and the chime of bells can help to centre your mind and connect you with the frequency of manifestation.
Sound healing is a powerful way to cleanse your energy field, release negative emotions, and realign your energetic frequency.
There are many different ways to use sound for healing. You can listen to healing music, attend a sound bath, or use singing bowls and bells.
You can even create your own sound healing practice by experimenting with different sounds and frequencies.
26. Meditation
When you take the time to be mindful and adopt meditation as part of your routine, you will find it much easier to manifest what you want.
Meditation allows you to connect with your subconscious mind and get in touch with your true desires. It also helps to quiet the mind chatter so you can focus on what you want to manifest.
There are many different ways to meditate, so find one that suits you best. You can try guided meditation, mindfulness meditation, or even walking meditation.
The important thing is to be consistent with your practice. The more you meditate, the better results you will see.
27. Make A Vision Board
A vision board is a simple yet effective way to Manifest What You Want. If you’re creative and like to make things then this is the manifestation technique for you.
The idea is to create a visual representation of your dreams and goals. This can be done by making a collage of images, quotes, and affirmations that inspire you.
When you look at your vision board regularly, it will help to keep your goals at the forefront of your mind and motivate you to take action.
You can create a physical vision board or make one online. There are even apps that allow you to do this. Whichever method you choose, make sure you put some thought into it and have fun with it!
28. Dare To Assume
There are 12 universal laws that govern everything in the Universe, including manifestation. From the famous law of attraction to the law of vibration, these principles uphold the fabric of life and the flow of the universe.
According to Neville Goddard, there is a secret 13th law – it is the Law of Assumption. This rule states that whatever you assume to be true will be your reality.
The Dare To Assume technique will shift your beliefs and upgrade the way you view the world. It encourages you to think about the things that you want to attract and assume that your desires are already yours.
This method will help you to reclaim your power and understand that everything is happening in accordance with your beliefs, thoughts and feelings.
29. Magical Creation Box
If you’re into arts and crafts you’ll love this manifestation technique!
The Magical Creation Box is a fun and creative way to manifest your desires. It acts like a postbox to the universe where you write down your desires and keep them in the box.
When you put your desires into your manifestation box you set your intention which is then magnetised to you by the creative force.
To make your Magical Creation Box, you will need:
- A box
- Magazines, newspapers or images of things that you want to attract
- Meaningful decorative pieces. ie, crystals, dried flowers etc
- Glue
- Scissors
- A piece of paper
Take your box and cover it with images of your goals and any decorative pieces that will make it feel more special to you.
Once your box is garnished, take your piece of paper and write down the things you want to manifest as if you have already manifested them.
For example, if you want to manifest a trip to Paris you would write “I am on an amazing 5-day break in Paris, France”. Allow yourself to get excited and believe with your heart that the universe will receive your wish.
Allow yourself to get excited and really feel the possibilities of your desires coming true. When you’re finished, fold up your paper and place it inside the box. Close the lid and say out loud or in your head, “Whatever is contained in this box – IS!”.
Allow yourself to let go of attachment to the outcome and trust that your manifestation will come true.
Once you have posted your manifestation list in your box just leave it and let the universe do its thing. If you want to feel inspired every now and then you can retrieve your lists from your box and reread it.
30. The Prosperity Game
The prosperity game is a fun and easy way to manifest your desires.
All you need to do is imagine that you have received £1,000 from the Universe. This money is yours and you are free to do whatever you want with it. Think about what you would like to buy with this money and go on a mental shopping spree.
The next day, envision that you have been given £2,000 to spend. Like with the first day, picture yourself spending the money as you wish.
Continue in this pattern, gaining £1,000 with each day that passes. This is a great way to connect you with the energy of abundance and wealth.
31. Raise Your Vibration
The higher your vibration, the better you feel and the more likely you are to attract what you want into your life.
Our emotions can be gauged by using the Emotional Frequency Chart. The lower emotions such as anger, fear, and jealousy vibrate at a lower frequency. Whereas, the higher emotions such as love, joy, and gratitude vibrate at a higher frequency.
You can raise your vibration by practising activities that make you feel good. This can be anything from listening to uplifting music, walking in nature, dancing or spending time with loved ones.
You can also raise your vibration by eating healthy foods, drinking plenty of water, and getting regular exercise.
When you make an effort to raise your vibration on a daily basis, you will start to notice positive changes. Things will flow more easily and you will attract abundance in all areas of your life.
32. The Wallet Process
The wallet process is a great method for manifesting money. If you’re a little short on cash or you want to hit your financial goals, this technique is great for attracting more money!
It works by aligning your vibration with the energy of money. To do the wallet process you must get a £100 note (or whichever currency you have) and keep it in your wallet.
Whenever you touch your wallet you will be reminded of the money that it holds. It acts as a symbol of wealth and abundance, and it will help to raise your vibration so that you can attract more money into your life.
The £100 is a reference point that you can use when you imagine yourself buying the things that you want. For example, as you go about your day notice the things that you can afford to buy with your £100.
You might see a bag for £60 that you can easily purchase, it should make you feel good to know that you can buy the bag and still have money to spare
To make the most of this method really feel the energy of the money and acknowledge the freedom that having £100 on hand gives you.
33. The Book Of Positive Aspects
Put your writing skills to use and try out the book of positive aspects manifestation method.
To begin, find a new and unused notebook. It must be one that feels and looks nice so it evokes positive emotions.
Next, Write the name of what you want to focus on at the top of the first page.
Afterwards, answer these questions to yourself.- What do I like about you? Why do I love you so much? What are your positive aspects?
Write down any thoughts that come to mind. Let them flow onto the page until you are satisfied.
Read over what you have written and take some time to really feel the emotions that come with your manifestation.
The more positive emotion you can bring to the process, the better! As you do this exercise you will feel good about yourself and your manifestation will become more and more likely.
Don’t forget to keep your book of positive aspects somewhere you can see it every day. This will help to keep your manifestation at the forefront of your mind and increase your chances of making it a reality.
