We are always manifesting even when we don’t know it, so why not create a ritual out of your intentions!
Your mind is usually running in a thousand different directions. By creating a single pointed focus, that becomes the single direction of our manifestations. This is why intentional manifesting is so important. The creation of a path to follow.
The ritual itself is to create a seriousness of the desired in mind. Taking something from our thoughts to a verbal, written, or actionable state creates a level of certainty for our being. For instance, when you say something out loud it makes it more real than if it’s just swirling around in the mind. We begin to question; is this thought I have truly important to me or was it something I was just playing out in my head?
Rituals and ceremonies create something tangible and remind us to stay focused. It is the feminine version of the masculine intention to practice meditation; single focused intention.
First Steps In Manifesting
The first step is to notice what’s been on your mind as far as your desires to accomplish a goal. it can be to organize a particular space in your home or create more financial wealth for the month. It’s important to go with a goal that is already playing out in your body because otherwise it can be a distraction to other desires. Once’s you’ve accomplished that particular goal you can move on to another.
Some people choose to accomplish many intentions and if that works better for you then set several intentions for your ritual. If this is the case for you I recommend setting no more than three to focus on. You can always add more. You know yourself better that anyone so do what’s best for you. Your mission in this is to create a single focus of direction to follow. From there your creativity will flow with ease.
When writing out your intentions the goal is to encourage your nervous system to respond with ease rather than to force it to get something done. The magic in this is that when you word your intentions in a way that offers curiosity the body puts the mind at work, sort of like Ai.
An intention may look like this; “I prioritize my self care”
This intention will be written, spoken out loud and you will claim it emotionally as you do your cinnamon ritual. Your intention must be stated as if you are doing, have it and living it in the present. For finance intentions it’s important to be very specific on the amount and have in mind a time frame as well. As an example, If you normally make $3000 a month and you wish to make more money you will need to choose an amount that you can fathom as attainable. If it’s too high or too low it might feel discouraging to the body, or you may not believe you can receive the amount desired. On the other hand the point here is to expand your essence beyond what you’ve previously accepted as your norm. It should feel like a stretch rather than a sense of reluctancy.
Let’s say you want to make an extra $1000. Write down; I make $4000 for the month of ___. Don’t worry about the how. Allow yourself to be open to opportunities that will open up to you in the next few days and weeks. The next few weeks will be a practice of your awareness. Give yourself permission to say yes to opportunities that you may otherwise not. Once you get good at this ritual you can be more picky but for now trust your awareness and allow yourself to be open to new experiences.
Remember to set the intention for a time frame such as for the month. Specificity is important. Once set don’t stress about the time. Trust the process.
Now, say you want the extra money for a pair of new Chanel shoes that you’ve been eyeing. The shoes would be the focus, not the amount of money. You can create a vision board on Pinterest or print out a picture of the shoes and display it nicely on your altar. Go in and try the shoes on. Make it feel real before you include it in your cinnamon ritual or make the first intention of your cinnamon ritual to make it feel real and an attainable option for you. Trust that if these are the shoes you want, they are already on the way to you.
Desired items can come to us in a variety of ways not just financial exchange. The sales associate could call you to let you know that the price dropped or you may find them second hand somewhere, or you may be gifted them. Be open to receiving them and they will find their way to you.
Feminine energy does not chase, she attracts.
This leads us into your ability to receive, to feel loved, to be valued. Mirroring energy is a crucial part of this practice. If you struggle with the concept of receiving generously then it could be a challenge for you to practice this ritual successfully. I recommend you take the Lifestyle Ritual Signature course which will help you see and acknowledge your value, to nurture yourself in ways you may not have considered. It will help you to develop a worthiness that you have longed for.
The Cinnamon Ritual
1. Write down your intentions clearly.
2. Have on hand cinnamon oil or the spice. Clove will work just as well.
3. As well as a coin like a quarter.
4. At your front door facing in with the door open stand as you claim and affirm your intentions out loud by speaking what you wrote out. Then blow your cinnamon in the door way. If you are using oil you will clean your door first including the frame. You will then put a bit of cinnamon on a clean rag and rub it on the door frame and door as you speak your intentions.
5. Place your coin and card with your intentions on your altar where you’ll see it every day as you trust that what is meant for you will find its way to you.
Sometimes this ritual will need to be repeated if you are new to this practice. Do this again the following month and let any expectations go. If you are still not receiving your manifestations then sit with your desire and acknowledge if it’s something you really want, feel as though you deserve and feel comfortable with. If any of these thoughts and feelings cause pause you may need to evaluate how you feel about your value system. We must feel deserving to receive. If you’ve done all this and are still struggling reach out for assistance.
