Manifesting for Beginners

Manifesting helps turn dreams into reality, aligns thoughts, emotions, and intentions to prioritize what matters, overcoming self-imposed barriers and strengthening pathways that encourage achieving your desired, tangible outcomes. It can also provide clarity to what you may not understand; for example, maybe you are unsure what career path you should take. 

Manifesting can help you bring clarity and cultivate what it is you want to feel, and then living and believing in that experience, so you can allow it to come into fruition. Manifesting is the process of vibrating at a high frequency so that you become a vibrational match with the Universe and can co-create your world. Manifesting isn’t about getting; it's about allowing. 

There are many ways to practice manifesting to attract whatever it is you want, whether that’s better health, a relationship, or even something material; however, it’s important to stay open to possibilities that are beyond what you believe you need. Manifesting works best when you are in alignment with what you want and how you feel it, and then you begin to effortlessly manifest it into your life. 

It’s important to trust the universe has a plan better than yours. Manifesting isn’t about having complete control or satisfying all our short-term desires; true manifesting is about receiving what is of the highest good for all, then you can attract what you want–but remember, we can’t control it. For example, if all your meditations are around landing a promotion at work, you might completely block a better opportunity at a different company. 

The biggest misconception around manifesting is that you can’t expect to manifest exactly what you are asking for. When we write down a hundred affirmations, it's easy to get caught up in thinking we will get very attached to a specific outcome or want things to happen on a specific timeline. But when we do this, we cut off universal guidance.

To start manifesting, use our manifestation journal and try to make it a daily practice; for example, create a time and place that works every day to help create a habit, maybe you drink your coffee in the morning while you manifest. Then, decide what you want to manifest and become unapologetic about what you want; you need to own it and believe it, and trust that it can be yours. 

Crystals for manifesting: 

• Place crystals on a grid or around you as you manifest. Place crystals that attract abundance, protection, or whatever else you may need while you manifest. 

• Citrine: Known as the “merchant’s stone,” citrine is believed to attract abundance and success. Carry it with you or place it in your workspace to help manifest your desires.

• Green Aventurine: This crystal is often associated with luck and prosperity. It’s great for attracting positive opportunities, so having it nearby during your manifestation practices could be beneficial.

• Clear Quartz: A powerful amplifier, clear quartz can enhance your intentions and help clarify what you truly want. You can use it in your manifestation rituals to strengthen your focus.

• Pyrite: Often called “fool’s gold,” pyrite is thought to bring wealth and abundance. It can help boost your confidence and motivation as you work towards your goal.

• Moonstone: Considered the dreaming stone, moonstone works to make dreams into realities and balances the masculine and feminine energies within the self, but is best known for amplifying the Goddess energy, compassion, and self-nurturing. It also acts as a powerful emotional stabilizer, helping to soothe overwhelming feelings and release stress.
