RITUALS & MANIFESTATIONS

I’ve been contemplating my rituals. Spending time thinking about which ones I practice consciously and subconsciously. My rituals keep me connected to who I am and who I will be.  Ritual to me means - a way of life. Rituals are a set of personal practices you follow in order to manifest your dream world and reality. Rituals act as personal traditions in your routine. I feel that over time - my rituals channel my expectations for myself. Rituals can change at any time if they are no longer serving a purpose. Manifestation and ritual share a beautiful relationship that can assist you in getting everything you desire and more. I believe deeply in manifestation, because I have manifested a lot of things for myself in the last couple years. Manifestation and ritualization is real and can be done by anyone. 

My most simple ritual consists of making my bed. Something about making my bed cues the start of my day. It is the point in which I commit to productivity and making time useful. Bed  making is a small and quick commitment that gives me an emotional boost. It makes me feel that I’ve already accomplished one thing for the day. I am very sensitive to my surroundings and thrive in a neat and clean space. The bed making ritual is a visual massage as I walk in and out of my room throughout the day. Over time, this ritual will encourage me to be someone who keeps a clean and sacred space. I’ve also found that bed making is a good cure to procrastination - which I’ve suffered from in the past.

More complex rituals I practice that connect to manifestation are staying “positive”. In the past, I’ve been a worry wart. I’d worry about all sorts of things- mainly things out of my control. Big and important days were always stressful for me. I reached a point where I really wanted to outgrow the habit of worrying and being negative before negative things happen. I began to practice a specific meditation where I envision my day before I leave the house. I close my eyes and think about whatever errand/plans I have. Lets say, I'm hunting for an outfit or a specific thing at the store. As I meditate, I envision myself finding exactly what I’m looking for. I envision myself smiling and satisfied. I try my hardest to channel the emotion that will satisfy me most. I may also manifest eating something delicious while I’m out. I imagine myself driving and smiling - listening to music and feeling joy. Meditating over my day has shifted the way I feel about life. 

Meditating and using your imagination to create the ideal day in your brain allows you to have positive thoughts. This practice allows you to get what you want without actually having it yet. By the time you start your day, you feel that you’ve already won and you have faith that it may come true or turn out better. Aside from fatih, you also convince yourself that you actually deserve what you want. I think as imperfect humans - we hold ourselves back from true happiness, because deep down we aren't sure if we deserve it. Practicing this meditation teaches you that you do deserve it and that it is possible. Meditation as a thinker has always been tricky for me. I’ve found a way to meditate and use positive thought.

Through rituals, I’ve been able to manifest the job I have. I used to meditate and imagine myself teaching ALL THE TIME. I would meditate over the smallest details - and it all came true eventually. Other ways I manifest things is writing down what I want. I write every little detail I can think of. I truly believe that you are aiding the universe when you know exactly what you want. When you know exactly what you are looking for and you believe you deserve it - the universe will give to you when it can. 

What are some things you’ve manifested ? Is there something you want to manifest but aren't sure how ? What are some of your daily rituals ?
