One of my favorite manifestation tools is writing a detailed description of my vision. I’ve used this technique to attract major changes into my life (my husband, our dream home) and minor changes (new wardrobe, new job, a car). Perhaps it’s because I’m a writer with a deep passion for words and all their meaning, but this is a very easy way for me to design my life. Want to design and attract something in your life? Here are the steps you can use to write your future into existence:
Clarify Your Objective: Think about what you want to attract into your life in the future – you can put a date on it or just leave it open. The important thing is to know what you want your life to look like in this particular area. The sky’s the limit – relationships, money, career, business, car, health, spirit, - you name it!
The reason clarity is so important, is because when you’re confused about what you want, the universe doesn’t know what to deliver to you. Become crystal clear about what you want and write it in a sentence or two.
Here are some examples:
"I want to attract my soulmate and have kids together."
"I want to earn at least XX per month doing work that I love."
"I want a brand new, high end model white Tesla."
Visualize it as if it already exists in your life. Now that you know what you want, close your eyes and picture it. Imagine wrapping your hands around the steering wheel of your new car or holding your baby or looking at your bank account online. Get a feel for how it looks from a visual standpoint.
Write your new life story. Now you get to fully jump in and be in your vision. Here are some clarifying questions to ask yourself:
What does it look like?
What do I look like?
What am I wearing?
What do I smell?
Who and what are around me?
How do I feel?
What is the atmosphere around me?
Write it out. Once you answer these questions, write your life as if it is that very moment. Here is an example:
“My family and I are now living in our dream house in X city! Every day we enjoy waking up to singing birds in a peaceful environment. Our four bedrooms are perfect for us, and for our daughter plus, a guest room and an office. The master bedroom is large, with a lot of light. It has great energy and flow and I always get a great night sleep in our bed.
I love to cook delicious meals in our gourmet kitchen with a 5-burner gas stove and double oven. I have more than enough storage space and get excited every time I walk into our stocked pantry! The smell of bacon greets my family on weekend mornings and we have long, lingering breakfasts out on the patio next to the pool and waterfall. In the afternoons, Eddie lights up the grill in our outdoor kitchen and makes all the neighbors envious of the amazing aroma of grilled steaks.
The walls ring with our laughter when we play board games or watch a funny movie. Our daughter enjoys her video games in the large bonus room upstairs. I feel at peace in our home. I can be relaxed and do the things I love to do. You can feel the love in our home whenever you walk in and others comment on the good feelings too.
I’m so happy and thankful now that we live in our dream house! Thank you, Universe, for this and all the blessings you provide!”
This is very similar to the manifestation story I wrote before we found our home. In fact, the home had EVERY detail I outlined, except for solar energy. With price we paid, we were able to install the solar ourselves, so in the end, it was everything I wanted.
Rinse and Repeat...OFTEN! Getting into the visualization and feeling state of your dream frequently is important. The more you live in that space, the faster and more accurately you'll attract what you want.
Don’t discount the power of this exercise. Not only is it very detailed, but when you get into the feeling of this future life, you’ll get excited! If something comes up that has you doubting yourself or your worthiness, practice some releasing exercises (more on that in another post!).
Every great athlete and successful business person has utilized a technique like this to visualize their outcome. Not everyone enjoys the process of writing it, but if you can first define it, then you can simply close your eyes and imagine all the detail in your mind’s eye.
Enjoy the process – it should be FUN!
