A New Moon Manifestation Ritual
For anyone who wants to connect with their intuition and bring their dreams to life
Hello you!
I get asked about my manifestation process a lot. For anyone who is new to the term manifestation it basically means turning something from an idea to reality. This could be a dream, a goal, a feeling or a belief. You’ll here people often say ‘I manifested it’ meaning they thought it and then it happened - sometimes as if by magic. There’s an association with the spiritual here too, and it can be very nuanced. If there’s a way for us to magically make our dreams a reality we all want that spell right?
Personally, the very best method I’ve ever tried and continue to practice daily is the mirror manifestation method. It’s the one where you write statements of gratitude for what you want in the present tense as if it has already happened. You read them aloud in the mirror each day and think about how you would show up differently if this was your reality, then you make those changes. It’s how I got my apartment in Paris, got over heartbreak and continue to build my business online.
The goal is not to change the world around you, but change the way you show up in the world based on the belief that our outer world reflects our inner world. For example if you believe money is hard to come by or you’re not creative these thoughts will act as blocks and you will live out this reality. The opposite is also true in that if you tell yourself money flows to you and you are creative so it will be. We have to show up in the world as if we are already the person we want to be and have faith the rest will fall into place naturally. So yes there is magic involved, but it already exists within all of us.
Yesterday was 11:11, a day very important to those who believe in the powers of the universe and astrology because it signifies new beginnings in numerology and acts as a portal to the spiritual. Tomorrow is a new moon, the ideal time to set intentions, make wishes and begin manifestations. With this in mind, today felt like the perfect time to share my personal manifestation process with you and a very simple little ritual I like to practice during such times - the one that leaves my mum’s face completely blank as if I’ve lost my mind but also keen to join in with too. In case you want to give it a go for yourself, here’s how it works…
Set up your space - find somewhere quiet and make it cosy. Ideally this will be in nature or looking out onto nature. If that’s not possible you can bring nature in with flowers, branches etc. Light a candle, put a sacred music playlist on and lay out your crystals if you have them. This is the time to burn some sage or palo santo wood too.
Open with gratitude - vocally express your gratitude for everything you already have in your life that brings you joy. This could be a friend, a lover, your children, the roof over your head, the way the sun feels on your skin etc. Gratitude is the gateway to joy and when we focus on what we have we begin to shift our mindset into the abundant.
