There are all kinds of awesome metaphysical tools for manifesting your dream life. Since we are entering a new year so many people are setting New Years Resolutions. As you look to how you want your life to look in the coming year here of five awesome, witchy and woo woo ways to help you manifest your dream life.
Meditate- I know this one probably seems like a no-brainer, but so often we (and yep I mean me too,) don’t make the time in our day to meditate. Making time to meditate gives you so many options for manifesting the life that you want. You can use it like a day dream, place yourself in your future life and feel how wonderful it will be when you accomplish your goals. You can program a trigger in to your meditation practice so that when you start to feel the negativity of day to day life come over you, you can use your trigger and calm yourself down, which makes switching to happy thoughts much easier. Even if you have problems sitting and meditating keep chipping away at it and eventually it will come easily to you. And in the meantime try something like Yin Yoga, which will still give you all the stress release and health benefits meditating.
Intending- Stating an intention has been incredibly successful for me. I am actually a little ashamed of myself that I so often forget to use it. Intending is different than an affirmation because most affirmations use the present tense. “I am…,” instead of “I intend…,” and while it seems like that shouldn’t be as effective I’ve had way more luck with it than I’ve had with using affirmations. (Probably because I almost never remember to keep saying the affirmations for more than a few days in a row.) With intending I have literally had the laws of physics bend to my will. The most obvious time was a day that I had to work a late shift. 2:00 pm ‑11:00 pm. The high for that day was 27 degrees and it had rained all day long. I had set the intention when I started the job that I would never have a hard time getting home from work, and reinforced it often. I lucked out because I stayed so busy that I couldn’t focus on my fears of not being able to get home and honestly the fear wasn’t great because I could have just stayed there. (I was doing an internet job from my parent’s house.) Despite the fact that the temperature was well below freezing and it had been drizzling rain all day long I had no trouble getting home. Even highway overpasses were completely ice free. The road to my house was totally iced over, but there was no other traffic on the road and I was able to make it home without sliding once. And that is only one example of intentions creating a situations that shouldn’t have happened.
Ask- Stop and ask your spirit guides for guidance. That is what they are there for. Understand that getting an answer from your guides wont’ mean that everything will magickally fall in to place, nor does it mean that you will always get an answer you want but you don’t get any answers unless you ask. If you are still having problems communicating with your spirit guides go ahead and ask anyway, they will find a way to get you an answer. And there may be times they tell you that it doesn’t really matter if you take this path or that one. I’ve had that happen.
Vision Boards- I love vision boards! Mine is just a joy to look at. Full of pictures of beaches, oceans and exotic places. There is also camera equipment and a new computer (which hey I am typing on one just like it now!) Vision boards can surprise you, my first boat was on my vision board and the boat I bought was identical to the images on my vision board, right down to the color of the upholstery and the stain of the wood.
Scripting- I’ve heard of two different types of scripting. My favorite is writing the future as though it has already happened. When I do this I write as though I am journaling and I go through the basics of my day and what I have been accomplishing. This has had a very practical side benefit for me as the practice of thinking about what my future day would entail has given me additional insight into the things I have to prepare and accomplish before moving on board a boat.
The other type of scripting I’ve used and read about is a lot like written affirmations. Though they can be longer and more detailed since you won’t need to remember them, or read them several times a day.
