Mastering the Art of Manifestation: Powerful Manifestation Techniques You Can Do Today

Published by A on

Mastering the art of manifestation entails having your personal touch. There is no one and correct way of manifestation, that’s why it’s fun and you can be creative with it. You can religiously follow all kinds of steps, but if you forget personalizing it such as connecting with your intuition, then it may never be brought to fruition.

Manifestation is the practice of bringing into reality the things, experiences, and circumstances that you desire through the power of your thoughts and beliefs. It is based on the principle that your thoughts and energy can shape your reality.

Moreover, opportunities and synchronicities may present themselves, but it is up to you to seize them.

The key concept behind manifestation is the Law of Attraction, which states that like attracts like. This means you will receive the same energetic match as the one you put out there. That means, if you put the energy of love out there, you will receive the same energy back.

One thing to remember:

Whether you like it or not, the art of manifestation requires work. As you continue reading, you will know that the most important part of manifestation is working towards yourself.

When your vibration aligns with your desire, you will never have to come from a place of lack. That means thinking that you don’t have, nor deserve it.

This means that the thoughts and emotions you focus on (emphasis on FOCUS) will attract similar experiences and opportunities into your life.

The best part is that all of us are equipped with these three tools—you already have them! You will have to utilize these tools in every step. Always remember these three, because not only they are your ultimate allies to manifestation, but they are also your weapons against self-doubt and impatience.

Inner work is the main key to manifestation.

Ever wonder why when you’re feeling unlucky once, it multiplies? That’s because the negative energy fed on that first instance is amplified so much so that you attract more negative energy.

The work you put into yourself will make you a force to reckon with. As a result, you will be that magnet that pulls in what you desire.

Manifestation is a conscious collaboration with the universe. You have to meet the universe halfway. It must be an equal give and take: act, then pull back to receive.

The moment you think about your desire, you create a blueprint. This blueprint created in your subconscious mind is the first step to this conscious process.

Visualization is a powerful tool in the manifestation process. You will have to use it every step of the way.

Imagine yourself already having achieved your desires and feel the emotions associated with that reality. Visualize the details, the sights, the sounds, and the feelings. Use your senses. This helps to strengthen your belief and attract your desires into your life.

If you can visualize it, you can certainly do it!

The secret to manifestation is joy. Gratitude. Manifestation is fueled by positive feelings.

A client used to ask me how I do it. And I only had one answer: joy. For her to manifest similarly, I asked her, what was the happiest moment in your life? Was it Christmas? How does the Christmas season feel to you? Remember that feeling. That’s the only thing you need. I have a more detailed way to do this here.

It is not only about the action steps–it’s not the “what”, but how you feel while doing it.

If joy sounds foreign to you, try nurturing your inner child. In what ways can you mother or father yourself? Do you need to be more compassionate with yourself?

And you will not do it once. You will have to make it a habit to choose joy from moment to moment.

Be clear about what you want and why you want it, then ask for it. Be specific and detailed in defining your desires. The specificity can be very tricky. You don’t have to give figures (ie., a million dollars) because that limits what the universe can give you. Then, visualize it.

Once you have a clear vision, focus on it with unwavering belief and intention. Intention-setting keeps all your actions aligned. And when your actions are aligned, there is no need to rush. That means you will act out of steadiness.

There is great energy in doing things physically, so you can journal or create a vision board.

Mastering the art of manifestation: create a vision board - have fun and be creative with it!

And then visualize once again the action steps needed to support your request.

Ask as if it has already happened, and ask from a space of joy, not from lack. You can say,

Thank you for bringing [your desire] into my life,” or write down, “I am certain that [your desire] is coming to me.

Another important aspect of manifestation is maintaining a positive mindset. Monitor your thoughts and replace any negative or limiting beliefs with positive affirmations.

Work with affirmations.

Affirmations are statements that reinforce positive thoughts and beliefs. Repeat them daily to reprogram your subconscious mind and align it with your desires.

Meditation is a powerful tool to do visualization and affirmations but if you don’t have a meditation practice, you can just play this as you wind down for sleep.

Manifestation is being certain.

It is being confident that what you desire already exists and is bound to no space and time. Moreover, it is without conditions. You have to believe it is for you.

Show up and pull back when you’ve done enough. This means allowing the universe to do its job.

Again, don’t get too caught up in the details because the universe could give you something better than what you imagine. So trust.

Let go. It will appear when you are not looking for it. Life happens when you’re busy making plans! So channel that gratitude about what you have now.

Act as if it’s already happening. Because it is done!

  • Write out what you want with confidence. You have to assume that it’s for you. You have to believe that the circumstances are always in your favor.
  • Do not ask why and how. Do not ask, “Do I deserve this?” You have to turn full self-belief on. Every action that you put out in the world is measured by how much you believe in yourself.
  • Align yourself. So the more you believe that you deserve whatever it is that you want, the more that you will ACT based on this belief.
  • Make space for its arrival. Expect its arrival so prepare for its arrival.
  • Be that version of yourself when what you’re trying to manifest is already in your life.
  • Focus on working on yourself. You are perfect, of course! But there is always room for improvement. Go find it.
  • Find joy in handling chores. Fake it ’til you make it, if you must.
  • Practice visualization. Call it reverse engineering or something else, but here’s one way to do it: recall and identify your happiest moments. Replay those moments in your head and try to remember the feeling. How does it feel in your body–were you smiling or were there butterflies in your stomach? Hold onto that feeling because you will have to aim for that as you course through your daily life. Visualize what were you doing then. Look for ways to incorporate more of those things in your life. And that’s how you will help yourself choose joy from moment to moment.
  • Act with intention. If you are a procrastinator, you can distract yourself but still align with what you’re trying to manifest. For example, wanna be a dancer? As you scroll mindlessly through your Facebook feed, search for short clips of dance tutorials.
  • Act as if the time is running out.
  • Wait it out. Don’t put the patience in waiting for it to come. Instead, put that patience in yourself as you do the work.
  • Allow frustration to enter your energetic space. This happens when you are patiently waiting when this wish will come true. Revert to choosing joy!
  • Fantasize about what to do when it has happened. For example, you want a certain amount of money. Do not imagine how and where you’ll allocate it. Act as if you are already living an opulent life. How can you give yourself some luxury with what you have? This can be in the form of better sleep, daily walks under the morning sun, or simply spending quality me-time.
  • Doubt yourself. The worst you can do is give up while in the frequency of doubt. When in doubt, try tapping. You can use this phrase before you start tapping:

Even though I won’t be able to [state what you’re trying to manifest], I deeply and profoundly love myself.


Manifestation is an art because it’s not about getting the steps right, but the creativity you put into the process, and the appreciation of its beauty. When you create, you come to a state of flow. And when you are in flow, the world around you drops away. At that point, you’ll effortlessly release and just enjoy. Then next thing you know, you have already manifested what you want!

Remember this “formula”:

Don’t you notice we just went back to the tools I mentioned at the beginning of this blog post? Because you already have them! All you have to do is strengthen them. Similar to exercise, you keep doing it every day for muscle memory. Practice makes progress!

Remember, manifestation is not about wishful thinking or expecting things to magically appear. It is about consciously co-creating your reality by aligning your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and actions with your desires.

Think and believe that the universe will do its job.

Love yourself so you effortlessly channel the energy of joy.

And because you feel positive moment-to-moment, you will be committed to taking inspired action.

With a conscious effort, this shows the universe that you are serious about your desires and opens up doors for manifestation.

And so I leave you with The Magician tarot card right here.

The Magician is a reminder that we have all the resources that we need to make things happen. As above, so is below. You open yourself up to the Spirit, and you do the work on the Earth. The Magician is all about consciousness, action, and creation.

Clearly, manifestation is an art because it is the fusion of the conscious and the unconscious. And just like the Magician, it requires you—your willpower—to wield your wand and bring it to fruition.

This is Tarot of the Divine* Fairy Godmother sprinkling fairy dust on you! May your wish come true!

Your piece on mastering manifestation struck a chord with me, resonating on a personal level. The emphasis on self-commitment and the reminder to choose joy aligns with my own journey towards intentional living. Your insights are awesome in the often mystical world of manifestation. Thanks a lot and have a good day. 🙂 

    A · January 21, 2024 at 11:46 pm

    Thank you for your kind words, Jake! Have a good day as well!

pasindu dimanka · December 11, 2023 at 12:27 am

I found your blog post on mastering manifestation truly insightful! Your breakdown of the manifestation process into actionable steps is incredibly helpful. Have you encountered any specific techniques or practices that have consistently enhanced your ability to manifest your desires? Personally, visualization and scripting have been transformative for me in manifesting my goals.

Your emphasis on gratitude as a catalyst for manifestation resonated deeply. It’s amazing how acknowledging and appreciating what we already have can amplify our ability to attract more positivity. How do you incorporate gratitude into your daily manifestation practice? I’m always curious to learn about different approaches. Overall, your guidance provides a practical roadmap for anyone looking to harness the power of manifestation. Thank you for sharing these valuable insights!

    A · January 21, 2024 at 11:49 pm

    Thank you pasindu for your insights and I appreciate the questions!

    Specific technique is consciously choosing to align my YESes to what I want to manifest. And breaking down the bigger goal into small tasks that I can do daily. How about you?

    Gratitude is so simple like keeping a journal and writing down one-liners of what I am grateful for today. 

    Hoping to hear your techniques as well!

Conner · December 14, 2023 at 12:51 am

Manifestation is a huge key to success. If you can’t see where you are going, how are you going to get there. You have to truly envision yourself on the path and going through it. I feel like people just do and try a bunch of different things in life hoping something will “stick”. When, if they would just take some time to figure themselves out, and manifest what is best for them. Then people could save a lot of time and money figuring out what their path is. 

    A · January 23, 2024 at 7:24 pm

    Maybe people just try out a bunch of different things because that’s part of their own process to figure out what they truly want. But yeah you are absolutely correct in saying that learning to manifest is a huge key to success! Cheers!

Joseph Stasaitis · December 14, 2023 at 2:10 am

I totally agree that the creation process requires a personal touch as we are each individual with different talents, abilities, interests, and desires. Without being true to ourselves we will not generate the needed inspiration to create from our hearts. Without a heart-based desire, the manifestation process is lacking. We most definitely get what we “are” and not what we want. We may want something but without connecting to our intuitive self it will not manifest. The tools you presented are vital to the manifestation process and the steps provide the path. Many great insights here.

    A · January 23, 2024 at 7:25 pm

    Thank you, Joseph! I appreciate you dropping by this post 🙂 

Kevin · December 17, 2023 at 3:38 am

Awesome article! This is a fantastic guide on manifestation that everyone should read. I really love how you said, “The law of Attraction gives you who you are, not what you want.” Too many people, including myself when I was younger, were misconceived about what the Law of Attraction was really about. It’s definitely all about being patient and continuously working on yourself.

    A · January 27, 2024 at 4:07 pm

    Totally agree! Life is just a continuous learning process, which influences our desires as well. Thank you, Kevin, for your insights!

Ryan · December 20, 2023 at 8:38 am

I love this topic and I’ve really only started learning about it this year. When I think back over time, this really makes sense to me why certain things happened that I really wanted but shouldn’t have happened. I knew what I wanted, had a clear focus and they happened over time. This will help make sense of the idea of manifestation for a lot of people. A great post about a fascinating topic!!

    A · January 27, 2024 at 4:08 pm

    Thank you, Ryan! Indeed, no matter how we resist, if it’s meant to happen, it will happen! 

Dirk · December 22, 2023 at 11:34 pm

Your article on manifestation techniques is enlightening, emphasizing the personal touch needed in the art of bringing desires to reality. I appreciate the focus on self-commitment, imagination, and positive feelings as crucial tools in this process. However, I’m curious—can mastering the art of manifestation become a reliable path for individuals considering a new career or secondary venture?

    A · January 27, 2024 at 4:14 pm

    I believe so, yes–because manifestation requires self-trust, and reframing your thoughts that you are capable to create your own reality. 🙂 Thanks for dropping by, Dirk! 

Irene · December 23, 2023 at 4:04 pm

This post resonates deeply! I’ve been focusing on self-commitment and joy through meditation, and I’ve noticed a shift in my perspective and opportunities. 
The idea of not asking “why” or “how” struck a chord. Sometimes just trusting and focusing on aligning myself feels so powerful. Have you encountered any resistance when letting go of control and surrendering to the process?

    A · February 8, 2024 at 7:22 pm

    Oh yes of course! Most of the time I just forget about it and I just realize it was my desire right when it already manifested!

    Thank you for sharing and dropping by, Irene!

Makhsud · December 26, 2023 at 9:51 pm

Hi A,
Just dropped by your blog post “Mastering the Art of Manifestation,” and I must say, it’s a pretty intriguing read! I like how you’ve broken down manifestation into simple, actionable steps, emphasizing the importance of self-commitment, imagination, and feelings. You make the art of attracting what we desire seem both magical and practical. But here’s something that’s bugging me a bit: You talk about aligning thoughts and actions, but how does one deal with the inevitable doubts and negative thoughts that creep in? Any strategies to keep the faith strong even when things look bleak?
Thank you for your work and sharing.

Best regards,
Makhsud

    A · February 9, 2024 at 11:05 am

    Thanks, Makhsud  for dropping by! I agree that negative thoughts will always keep creeping in, but I think that’s the reason why mindfulness and meditation are always linked into the manifestation practice. We always say, “practice” because we can always fail and be back to square one. The practice of mindfulness can teach us to notice these negative emotions. With mindfulness  in our practice, we will  also be trained to let negative emotions  go. That means, when doubt creeps in, we can immediately catch it, just observe as they come, and we’ll choose not to  dwell on it.

    Sometimes when I manifest something, I’m already in the period of doubting it and never believing it will ever come. But I just brush it off the best I can and believe.

    When we get to these periods of doubt, it doesn’t mean it will not come, because these gifts have their own timeline too that’s totally out of our hands. So, just keep going back to trusting the process. It’s okay to doubt it sometimes. 😉 

Ela · December 30, 2023 at 3:24 am

Thank you for great topic. The incorporation of the Law of Attraction principle and the reminder that the law gives you who you are, not what you want, adds depth to the understanding of manifestation. The article provides practical tools that everyone already possesses—self-commitment, imagination, and feelings—making the practice accessible and empowering. Lovely.

Sonia · January 2, 2024 at 9:56 am

The interplay between conscious and unconscious minds in manifestation, exemplified by the Magician tarot card, is a profound concept. This harmony underscores the need for our internal beliefs and external actions to align in order to manifest our desires effectively.

Particularly intriguing is the delicate balance between the ‘asking’ and ‘receiving’ phases in the art of manifestation. It’s a dance of expressing clear intentions and stepping back to allow the universe to work its magic. Maintaining a state of joy and gratitude is pivotal in this process, acting as a catalyst to turn desires into reality.

Navigating through times of doubt or impatience can be challenging. In my experience, embracing these feelings as part of the journey, rather than obstacles, can be transformative. It’s about trusting that the universe has a larger plan and understanding that our timing may not always align with universal timing.

Manifestation is not just about achieving goals; it’s also a journey of self-discovery and growth. By focusing on the art of manifestation as a process rather than solely on the outcomes, we open ourselves to a world of possibilities and lessons that enrich our lives beyond fulfilling specific desires.

    A · May 20, 2024 at 3:14 pm

    Such a beautiful comment, Sonia. 

    Thank you for dropping by, and I want you to know that I’ve truly felt your comment and I’m saving to remind myself as well.

    Manifestation is a beautiful dance of life, indeed.

Starlight · January 5, 2024 at 9:29 am

Hello, 

Your exploration of mastering the art of manifestation is truly enlightening! I appreciate the emphasis on the personal touch each individual brings to this creative process. The incorporation of self-commitment, imagination, and feelings as essential tools resonates deeply, reminding us that manifestation is a conscious collaboration with the universe.

I am curious to hear from others about their successes or hurdles in manifestation. How have you applied these principles in your life and what experiences can you share on your journey of conscious co-creation? 

Let the collective wisdom unfold!

Blessings and Abundance!

    A · May 20, 2024 at 3:25 pm

    Blessings and abundance to you as well, Starlight! 

    You’ve got a beautiful name that seems to be aligned with your comment! Thank you for dropping by.

    I am curious as well about how others do it! But from my experience, I have always been mindful about setting intention and focusing on positive feelings so there would always be space for what I want to manifest. 

    I don’t count the days as well!

Camelia · January 8, 2024 at 4:47 pm

Wow, this article on mastering the art of manifestation is an absolute gem! I appreciate how you emphasize the personal touch and creativity involved in the manifestation process. Your breakdown of the three essential tools – self-commitment, imagination, and feelings – is not only insightful but also a powerful reminder that we already possess these tools within us. 
Your detailed steps, from asking with unwavering belief to acting as if it’s already happening, provide a clear roadmap for anyone looking to manifest their desires. The connection between manifestation, joy, and gratitude is beautifully articulated, making it more than just a set of steps but a way of life. The incorporation of visualization, affirmations, and meditation adds practicality and depth to the process.

This article is a comprehensive guide, and I’m excited to incorporate these techniques into my life. Thank you for sharing this empowering and enlightening piece!

SojielShahrzad · January 14, 2024 at 2:07 am

Great Topic on Mastering the Art of Manifestation: Yes, you have to have a vision in life of what you want. Make a vision board or write your desires on paper no matter how big your desires are, like a dream house, a new car, or a large amount of money. These manifestations will work if you visualize and meditate daily on how these things will come into your life because we all have the inner capabilities to create these manifestations.

Ben · January 17, 2024 at 3:52 am

Hey, nice article on mastering the art of manifestation. I particularly liked your emphasis on the importance of self-awareness and self-love re: the manifestation process. Your suggestions to embrace our emotions and focus on our desires is a great way to start the journey of manifestation as well, and were helpful (as well as your tips on visualization and gratitude). Thanks for sharing. Happy manifesting!

linden · February 2, 2024 at 9:08 pm

Thank you for this interesting approach to manifestation. I too work with the Ancient Laws but from a Buddhist position. It’s not clear what ‘the inner work’ you mention is? Is it mainstream meditation or mindfulness? I’m curious about the foundation of your practice? Is it Tarot or Oracle, empath or psychic? I find that some of your instructions conflict with the Ancient Laws and Practices that I have studied and worked with.

Intriguing. I would love to discuss your approach further so let’s talk.

Blessings and Wealth!

Linden.

    A · April 12, 2024 at 7:13 pm

    Hi Linden,

    Thank you for your thoughtful inquiry, and I appreciate your interest in exploring different approaches to manifestation. 

    When I refer to “the inner work,” I’m encompassing a range of practices that aim to cultivate self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and spiritual growth. While mainstream meditation and mindfulness can certainly be part of this inner work, it also includes introspection, shadow work, energy healing, and personal development techniques. 

    I draw from spiritual teachings and personal experiences, especially since I am from the Eastern world.

    Cultivating wholesome intentions and detachment are Buddhist precepts we can borrow to personalize our experience of manifestation.

    As a Reiki practitioner who has been successful in providing distant healing, and as a tarot reader who was able to connect to the deepest thoughts of my clients without even knowing their story before the reading, I do not know how I could do those, quite frankly. The only energy I connected to was love and kindness. And that is in no way tied to just one law (ancient or not).

    Love knows no law. 

    There is no right way of doing it, hence the quotes I used in the word formula.

    As for the foundation of my practice, it’s multifaceted. While tarot and oracle cards are tools I utilize, my approach is not solely dependent on them, and I strongly believe that strict adherence to a certain doctrine will dilute the very practice of how manifestation can be a fun way to acknowledge that our bodies (brain) can support us in ways we thought we couldn’t do.

    Understandably, some instructions may conflict with the ancient laws and practices you’re familiar with. 

    Manifestation is deeply personal and can be approached in diverse ways. My intention is to offer guidance that resonates with individuals while honoring different belief systems and traditions.

    May blessings and wealth come to you as well!

LineCowley · February 12, 2024 at 2:00 pm

This is a very helpful and insightful explanation of manifestation and how we can incorporate it into our daily lives. It forms the road map for those that want to practice manifestation. 

I love the idea of thinking about the happiest time in our lives, and what the associated feelings were. And then focus on those feelings. Being positive, and staying positive, is overwhelmingly important if you want to achieve your goals and live life to the fullest. That you for sharing this valuable resource. 

Sara Tadros · February 18, 2024 at 4:35 pm

Hey A, your article’s coverage of the art of manifestation is genuinely fascinating. It explores how our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions can significantly impact the reality we experience. The emphasis on self-commitment, imagination, and positive feelings as critical components in this process is particularly captivating. This approach combines practicality with a touch of mysticism, making the concept of manifestation more accessible and comprehensible. The notion that we can actively shape our lives through focused intention and emotional alignment is empowering and encourages personal growth and a proactive approach to life’s challenges and opportunities. The article serves as a reminder of the immense power of our inner world to influence our external circumstances.

Clair · February 25, 2024 at 9:18 am

Michel · February 28, 2024 at 10:17 pm

Loved your in depth account of how to manifest a good life for yourself. It is not as easy as just thinking positive things. There is a whole lot more that goes into it. Everything from the way you think to the way you act makes a difference in what you attract for yourself.

I loved the tarrot card reading at the bottom of this post, and I wonder if it is a generic message for everyone, or does it change person to person?

    A · April 8, 2024 at 4:33 pm

    Thank you for dropping by, Michel! 

    The tarot reading is yes, a generic message for anybody who can resonate with it. It could change from person-to-person, depending on that person’s interpretation of the message. It’s a gateway to a personalized reading which always work best, since the message is tailored to the querant.

Corey · March 2, 2024 at 10:18 pm

As someone deeply interested in personal development, I find the concept of manifestation fascinating. It’s intriguing to consider how our thoughts and intentions can shape our reality. However, I’m curious about the balance between manifesting and taking action. How do we distinguish between patiently waiting for the universe to respond and actively pursuing our goals? It seems like a fine line between trust and complacency.
