Are you irritated because you've tried and tried to envision what you want to manifest but can't seem to “see” it? You're not the only one who feels this way!

Fearful that you won't be able to manifest your desires because you can't picture them? Yes, you certainly can!
There is a different approach to picture what you want to create without having to struggle to project an image that won't appear.
It all begins with you! I'll show you how I learned to use my personal creative outlet to create the things I desire in my life as a non-visualizer, and I'll show you how you can too!
I used to become so irritated when I tried to “visualize” that all I ended up creating in my life was more frustration a lot of it. Until one day, I eventually gave up and prayed and meditated my concern to the Universe, then let it go.
I had a dream a few weeks later in which I was sitting at an elaborate desk, writing on paper with a vivid peacock quill. A massive black stallion jumped off the paper as I typed the word “HORSE.” When I typed the word “CASTLE,” a palace fit for a storybook appeared all around me.
The message was clear: I'm a writer; therefore, write! My brain is wired to turn words into visuals. That's how I “SEE” things. It just makes sense that if I want to create something specific, I should write down my visualizations and use how my brain actually works.
Consider your brain to be like a house's wiring. Your thoughts, words, and actions have wired/trained your mind to behave in a certain way over the course of your life. (These are referred to as neuropathways.)
When you turn on a light that is wired to a switch, the light turns on. Switch to a different light in the hopes that it will effect the same light? You don't get anything.
Consider imagining as if you were flicking a light switch. You can try to imagine someone else's path, but if your neuropathways aren't wired to that particular switch, you can toggle it all you want, but it will never turn on the light you want to turn on.
Are you an artist who paints? Are you a writer or a dancer? Quilter? Chef? Horticulturist? Photographer? The list goes on and on, and it doesn't matter which one you are. The only stipulation is that it must serve as a channel for YOUR creative output.
What do you do to express yourself creatively? You don't have to be an artist to feel heard, seen, expressed, or complete; nevertheless, what do you do that helps you FEEL heard, seen, expressed, or complete?
Put yourself in a creative frame of mind by doing that activity, and then let your imagination go wild with creative visualizations!
If you're a painter, you can paint your visualizations. If you're a writer, write down your visualizations. As you dance, feel your dreams flood every cell of your body.
Creativity is the manifestation of emotion into physical form, and it is STRONG.
It's crucial not to force your emotions to be “happy” while you're engaged in creative imagination to manifest. Allow your emotions to be whatever they are, and allow them to flow freely. Creativity isn't always a pleasant experience. It's completely fine if it's frustrating at times.
Fill your body with creative energy and combine whatever you'd like to manifest into it.
My capacity to draw to myself what I ask for has increased dramatically since I began writing my visualizations a few years ago!
I watched a great webinar a few weeks ago about a course I would love, love, love to attend, but I didn't have $400 cash on hand to pay for the entire course, so I didn't hesitate. They emailed me the replay of the webinar two days later, and I watched it again, taking detailed notes.
Adding the creative energy of my writing to the creative energy of taking, then retaking the class sends a powerful message to the Universe that I desired the class.
I met with my business coach the next day and told her how much I enjoyed the webinar, but I didn't tell her how much I wanted to take the class.
“You know, Cindy, I think I bought that class last year and forgot about it,” she explained.
After checking her e-mail and seeing that she had indeed purchased the class but had never used it, she immediately gifted me the entire $400 class!
Things like that happen all the time in my life now, but they never did before I discovered the delight of working with my creative outlet rather than fighting to replace it.
What a wonderful thing your mind is! You may use its creative energy to drive your dreams if you learn how to harness it. You'll have a perpetual struggle on your hands if you try to make it zig when it's wired to zag.
Use your brain as a visualization tool, as it is now wired to be the conduit for your creative energy, and I guarantee the quality and quantity of your manifestations will skyrocket!
Is Visualising a manifesting?
“How do we effectively manifest?” We may achieve our goals by focusing on who we want to become and how we want to feel. Manifestation is the process of calling in the vibration of what we eventually desire to embody (using the law of attraction). This is done by envisioning what you desire and imagining what it would be like to have it.
How do you manifest with just your mind?
Allow yourself to have it and to deserve it. We're not going to try; we're going to make the decision to do it. We don't need to know how for the time being. We have the ability to be terrified. But we want it, we want for it, and we make the decision to pursue it. Wooohooo! Yes, we say yes!
What is aphantasia?
People who suffer from aphantasia are unable to visualize imagery. Individuals with aphantasia are unable to construct an image of a scene or face in their imaginations, although other people can.
How many times should I visualize in a day?
Ideally, you should establish a daily practice in which you devote two times a day, each for roughly 10-15 minutes, to visualization. This would offer you the time and consistency each day that you need to embody the feelings of your manifestation coming true.
Do you need to manifest everyday?
Let's take a closer look at it. Continue reading to learn about three major manifesting dos and don'ts. If you follow them, you'll be able to genuinely co-create with the Universe!
Don't: Expect exactly what you want to just drop in your lap
This could be the most widely held misunderstanding. There's a popular belief that all you have to do is construct a vision board and write a thousand affirmations in your diary, and the exact item you want will materialize in front of you.
Affirmations and vision boards are beneficial because they provide clarity. I adore them both! However, we can be seduced into believing that we know best. We become emotionally invested in a specific conclusion or expect things to unfold in a precise order.
We cut off Universal guidance and move into manic manifesting when we do this.
Do: Trust that the Universe has a plan better than yours
It's not about having total control or achieving all of our short-term goals when it comes to manifesting. Getting what we believe we desire isn't really the point of true manifesting. It's all about receiving what's best for everyone.
You will have experiences when you will attract just what you desire. The idea isn't to control outcomes and get exactly what you want. Keep in mind that your plan may not always be the best one.
If all of your meditations and affirmations are focused on getting a promotion at work, for example, you may be completely blocking a far greater chance at a different company!
In this video, I discuss how, when it came to having a kid, I surrendered to a bigger purpose…
There is a bigger plan than yours. When you surrender to the skill of manifesting, you can trust that spirit will lead you in the direction of your wishes and much more.
A prayer to let go and trust
From my new book, Super Attractor, here's a short prayer to help you sacrifice your desires and exercise patience:
“Thank you, Universe and highest truth and compassion guides. I'm eager to be liberated. “I am grateful for a newfound faith.”
Say the prayer aloud and allow yourself to sink into the feelings of surrendering to faith in the Universe.
If you encounter any opposition, acknowledge it and return to this prayer. You may repeat it as many times as you like. It's a plea for assistance. You're surrendering your ideas and making room for the Universe's energy to assist you in ways you can't imagine.
Don't: Try to “make it happen
For many of us, trying to control and compel things to happen is a deeply entrenched tendency.
You may have done some amazing work to release this cycle if you're on a spiritual journey. The ego's demand for control, on the other hand, is deceptive, and we might fall back into this cycle without even realizing it.
Even if you don't consider yourself a control freak (which, to be honest, I do), we all try to exert control in some way. If you want to:
Remember that the Universe has a much better plan than we do. By following that counsel, you can stop controlling and start receiving.
Do: Practice the Spiritually Aligned Action Method
Because manifesting is a cooperation between you and the Universe, it's also known as co-creating. I teach an approach in Super Attractor that I intuitively devised and used in my own life. The Spiritually Aligned Action Method is what it's called.
When we take spiritually aligned action, we can believe that an energy greater than our own is working on our side and that all will work out in the end – even if we don't know when or how it will.
Step 1 of the Spiritually Aligned Action Method
Simply practicing step 1 is a game changer. To prepare for the entire method in Super Attractor, try this drill!
When your passion is united with service and inspiration, it becomes unstoppable.
“How do I know if my goal is backed by service and inspiration?” you might wonder.
“What if what I really want isn't to change the world?” What if I'm looking for love or trying to get out of debt? What does it mean to be of service to others?”
If your ambition fills you with genuine excitement, it's backed by inspiration! Spirit will back you up as long as you yield to the highest good for all.
You must, however, comprehend why you desire something and the energy that drives it. If you want a new career so that your family will approve of you, or if you want a relationship because you feel lonely, your desire is most likely fueled by need and fear.
Here's how to get rid of the energy that's fueling your desire: “Does this desire help me feel motivated and serve others?” ask yourself.
Write in your journal on how your desire makes you feel on the inside. Write about how your good energy and inspiration helps others. You can trust that aligning your energy with service and inspiration will move your goal forward.
Finally, allow yourself to cultivate joy, inspiration, and a strong sense of contribution. Allow yourself to rejoice about your desires!
In this video, I explain what it means to act in a spiritually aligned manner:
Don't: Save your manifesting practices for one special time and place
Many people believe that manifestation takes place exclusively in their Zen den, on their meditation pillow, with all of their crystals lined up and a candle lighted. They spend some time in that space meditating, journaling, and doing anything else they need to feel good and connect with spirit.
…
Then they wake up, go about their daily lives, and abandon their spiritual activities.
You're choking off the flow of inspiration when you compartmentalize your spiritual activities like way.
We don't just get inspired on a retreat, in a yoga class, or during a religious ceremony. When we put it in a box and keep it isolated from the rest of our lives, we are doing ourselves a big disservice.
Do: Make manifesting part of your daily life
Manifestation is something we perform on a regular basis. In truth, we're always generating and attracting – it's just that we do it unconsciously most of the time.
Instead of reserving your manifesting techniques for “special” occasions, incorporate them into your daily routine.
- Commit to doing some form of meditation every morning, even if it's just sitting in silence for a few minutes and tuned in to your breath.
- And when you do enter your Zen den, remember to develop the feeling you desire!
How does the 369 manifest method work?
Writing down what you want to materialize three times in the morning, six times during the day, and nine times in the evening is part of the 369 method.
This method gained traction on TikTok (of course), with videos using the hashtag “369method” accumulating over 165 million views. It's not difficult to discover people on the app who claim the approach has helped them manifest new relationships, significant sums of money, and other things.
Nikola Tesla, a renowned inventor, was the first to believe that the numbers three, six, and nine were potent numbers for manifesting in the twentieth century. “He believed these sacred numbers were the key to opening the universe,” spiritual adviser Diana Zalucky tells mbg.
Aside from the numbers, the 369 practice follows the law of attraction, which holds that we attract what we focus on.
Shauna Cummins, a hypnotist and author of Wishcraft, adds that focusing on what you want, especially on a regular basis, may help your brain “discover what it's looking for, and thus more likely to magnetize your desires into action.”
How do you visualize clearly for manifestation?
It's critical to have a clear understanding of what you want and why you desire it in order to imagine and create the life you want. Understanding what you value and what brings you the most joy in life can help you achieve this. Have you ever had a time when you were doing something you enjoyed? If you answered yes, you've found something you'd like to have in your life.
What would I like to see in my life if I didn't have anything holding me back?
What can you not manifest?
The Law of Attraction only works if your desires are in sync with your personality. You can't create something for someone who doesn't want it. You can't manifest against the wishes of others. For example, if you don't like someone, you can “command” them to do something bad (no, not even to a mean ex-boyfriend).
How do you manifest through writing?
Writing out your goals will help you remember that what you want to achieve isn't just a fantasy; it's something you'll work on every day, and that can lead to genuine results.
With the pandemic disrupting our ability to maintain structure, stability, and drive, it may be more difficult than ever to achieve our objectives.
Writing down our goals is one of the simplest methods to create structure and get back on track with them. The 369 Method, for example, can assist us in manifesting our wishes. To make it even easier, use my free 369 Journal Template!
Writing Your Goals Down Helps You Manifest Them
According to a study by Dr. Gail Mathews, persons who write down their objectives are substantially more likely to achieve them than those who simply express them. The study also found that persons who wrote down their goals and forwarded them to a close friend were more likely to achieve them.
What steps can you do right now to put this knowledge into practice?
Here are some suggestions for manifesting your goals by putting them down as affirmations.
Ways to Start Manifesting by Writing
Rather than simply writing down what you want, make sure to include why you want it. In Write It Down, Make It Happen: Knowing What You Want – And Getting It!, you'll learn how to know what you want and how to get it. This strategy is referred to as the “result of the outcome” by author Henriette Anne Klauser.
Instead of writing down that you want a house with plenty of windows, write down I live in a lovely house with lots of windows so I can appreciate the extra light.
Discovering why your goals are important to you might assist you in focusing on their functionality and coming up with innovative solutions.
In fact, you may discover that if you focus on the essence of what you're looking for, there are a plethora of options that can help you achieve your goal.
Rather to just putting down your objective, go into great depth about how you'll feel once you've accomplished it.
This prevents the exercise from becoming monotonous.
Instead of stating, “I am now a highly successful dancer,” you may say, “I am now a highly successful dancer.” I'm currently a professional dancer with a lot of success. What a pleasure it is to be doing what I enjoy! Being around by talented individuals makes me feel so good. Being a part of something so incredible makes me feel welcomed and fulfilled.
The more you concentrate on the sensation, the easier it will be to become enthusiastic about your objective and to correlate it with happy feelings.
Spend a few minutes writing about how you'll feel in the scene, making sure to include particular details.
If it thrills you, you can do it intermittently or on a regular basis.
Choosing a goal and writing it down as if it were happening right now is one of the simplest ways to materialize by writing.
Do the exercise every day and repeat the statement 15-20 times.
Try this tip from Creative Visualization if you want to get a little more creative: Shakti Gawain's Shakti Gawain's Shakti Gawain's Shakti Gawain's Shakti Gawain's Shakti Gawain's Shakti Gawain' The author suggests writing your aim in the first, second, and third person, according to the book. Here's an illustration: Claire, I'm a well-known singer. Claire, you're a well-known singer. Claire is a well-known vocalist. To get the most out of this writing practice, do it on a regular basis.
The 369 Method is a method for incorporating affirmations into your daily routine. Writing your affirmations down 3 times in the morning, 6 times in the afternoon, and 9 times before bed is part of the 369 Method. To make it easier, I produced a free 369 Method template that you can download.
Journals for goal setting are a fantastic method to organize the process of writing down goals.
There are plenty to choose from on the internet; all you have to do is find one that suits you. Some of them will assist you in identifying ten goals that you want to attain over the following ten years and will need you to write them down every day. Some contain a short appreciation list and room to put down one objective that you're focusing on today to get you in the correct frame of mind. Journaling in a structured format might help you become more intentional in your life. To get started, download my free 369 Method Journal template.
This advice is simple, but don't let that mislead you; it can be really successful.
Your goals are simply written as affirmations in a customized notepad.
The notebook is then placed in a sacred location or a clean drawer.
The following step is critical: you do not open the journal for several months.
This allows you to let go of your attachment to the outcome and makes manifesting more enjoyable.
After a few months or a year, you could be amazed at how many things in your notebook come true.
Just make sure you have enough short- and long-term goals in the notebook to observe some progress.
It's simple to stay motivated and intentional by writing down your goals.
You'll prepare your brain to be goal-oriented and provide yourself with the motivation to inch your way to accomplishment if you can master the discipline of writing them down.
Better better, gain the added advantage of supporting accountability by emailing or texting your goals to a close and trustworthy buddy.
I'd appreciate hearing from you: Do you make a list of your objectives? Do you have any suggestions for keeping the practice fun?
