Learn to Manifest + Make a Dream Board

Updated: Jun 26, 2024

Did you know that manifestation is the way of the universe? Really, it is!


Not only does research back this idea up, but I’m sure your own personal experience does as well. Just think back to any noteworthy milestone or prominent event in your life. For example, you may have used manifestation to land a new job, make a friend, or buy a house. On a smaller scale, perhaps there was a time that your thoughts influenced an art project, a conversation, or the perfect outfit.


The word "manifestation” means to turn an idea into a reality. Truly, whether you’re aware of it or not, your own thoughts, visualizations, and expectations play a major role in transforming ideas into something more tangible. It’s likely that this divine process is happening without you even noticing.


Quantum physics teaches us that everything has an energy frequency. By raising your own frequency through positivity, gratitude, and belief in your desires, you can align with the energy of what you wish to manifest.


Our thoughts are electric, our emotions are magnetic, and together they make an electromagnetic field around our body. Our electromagnetic field is always communicating with the Quantum Field. In fact, your thoughts and emotions are manifesting your current reality, right now!


Manifesting is also known as co-creating, because the process is a collaboration between you and the universe. Many people practice manifestation through prayer, meditation, visualization, or speaking intentions out loud.


Intentions are very powerful. Positive thoughts and emotions have the potential to alter body chemistry. Research shows that thoughts literally affect matter. With this in mind, individuals who learn to direct their desires are more likely to create the life of their dreams.


Having a vision or intention creates a path for the future. While everyone approaches manifestation differently, there are a few core steps I take when manifesting.


  1. Know exactly what you want.

  2. Make your intention as specific as possible.

  3. Ask for what you want, out loud! Then write it down on paper. Use words that insinuate that what you desire has already happened. Or instead of saying “I want” say “I will.”

  4. Start working towards your goals. This can be small daily actions or routines that support your long term vision.

  5. Express gratitude. Be thankful for the little things that come to fruition, and understand that manifestation doesn’t typically happen overnight.

  6. Know that the journey does not always go as planned, but it will happen in the way that is best for you.

  7. Importantly, let go of any resistance, negative self talk, or limiting beliefs.

  8. Watch the magic unfold!


One of my favorite ways to manifest is by crafting a dream board. A dream

Board is a visual representation or roadmap of how you envision your best life. When I source images that align with my purpose and intention, it helps me to zero in on my future and allows me to connect mentally with my goals.


Up to date dream boards are fantastic to have because they are helpful during meditation and visualization exercises. Dream board images provide a clear picture for the mind’s eye to recall, again and again.


You can create a dream board with magazine clippings and a poster board, or you can use pictures from the internet. You can display your board in your home or on your phone wallpaper.


If you’re interested in installing a cork board space in your home, where you can have a permanent dream board all year long, take a look at a this tutorial from the Just A Girl blog.

When forming my vision boards I usually use Pinterest and Canva. These apps make the process so fun and easy! If you’re like me, you probably already have plenty of categorized pins on Pinterest that will work great for your vision board.

Here’s some of the pins I grabbed from my own Pinterest account! I used several of these photos when I was making a dream board for my future home 👇🏻📍

Every dream board is as unique as the person who made it. Feel free to make the board however you want. Just remember, these images should represent your deepest wishes and aspirations.


Sometimes I like to make specific boards for specific goals, such as career, home, beauty, etc. This technique helps me to really focus on the precise details of my manifestation. Other times I combine pictures from all the categories of my life, and place them on one big board. Do what resonates with you at the time of crafting.


Check out my personal dream board, and get to work making your own!

I hope this helps you over the course of your journey. Happy manifesting!


Best,

Mykel
