Manifesting With The New Moon.

The new moon is an excellent time for you to really get clear on your hopes, desires and wishes. Although realistically you can perform the following exercise at any point in your calendar, there is something special about working with the energy of a new moon that can really aid you in your manifesting journey.

This new moon manifesting exercise is a great way to get clear on your intentions and to set out a clear path to making those intentions become a reality.

You can choose to manifest in any area of your life, and it is especially good for new beginnings, whether that be a job, relationship, class or even a house move!

Whichever way you go about it, now is the perfect time to begin that journey to achieving your dreams.

So what are the steps to take when manifesting with the new moon?

Set the scene.

Turn your environment into a soothing space in which to conduct your manifesting. Light some candles and incense, play some music, put some cushions or blankets down to help make yourself comfortable. Put the cat out, and let those you live with know not to disturb you.

1. Set the intention. As you make your way through the first step remember to keep your intentions pure. Reflect on why you are here and what you are doing this for. Set the intention that you are moving into a positive, welcoming space, that you are here to draw in the things that you wish to see more of, and to release what you no longer need.
   

2. Show gratitude. By being grateful we are putting ourselves in alignment with all the good that you are already experiencing in your life. By focusing on the good over the bad you are able to welcome more of the good into your life!So take a few minutes to think about and maybe even write down everything that you are grateful for - the people you spend your time with, the places you go, the things that you do in your day to day life that bring you enjoy. Send your love and appreciation to them all.
   

3. Meditate. Take a few minutes to focus on your breathing and bring yourself into a state of calm and relaxation. You can sit and focus on the candle before you as you breathe, close your eyes and listen to the relaxing music you have playing or even pop over to YouTube to play a guided meditation. (You might even find one specifically aimed at the new moon manifesting!)
   

4. Write it down. Take this time to reflect on and transfer from pen to paper all those things you wish to bring into your life over the coming weeks or months. Be sure to only focus on the things you do want rather than the things you don't. The last thing you need is to draw closer to you the things that you want less of. So be mindful of the language you use, ensuring that it is positive. Also remember to allow some room for the universe to work its magic. You can do this by not getting too specific in your language. If you are manifesting a new house don't get too caught up in focusing on one particular house that you have seen, instead focus on what it is about that house that you like? Do you want a house with a large kitchen where the family can gather and share meals? Or a garden for the kids to run and play in? Use concise language to describe what you are attracting into your life.

   
   

5. Visualise. Following on nicely from the last step, as you read over your list try to imagine how it will feel to achieve the life that you are creating. How would these things make you feel? Excited? Calm? Loved?
   

6. Release. There are a number of ways in which you can do this, but a favourite of mine is to burn your list, allowing the energy to be released and therefore handing it over to god/the universe for creation. As you do so have faith and acceptance that things will ultimately work out for the highest good even if they don't appear exactly as you imagined them.
   

7. Take inspired action.  Now that the energetic seeds have been planted, it is time for you to play your part. Write down an action plan of steps that you can take to make those wishes a reality. What can you do to bring yourself closer to the life you just visualised? After all you are a co-creator of the life you live.

I hope that you have found these steps helpful and that you soon find yourself on the way to living the life of your dreams.

Remember that some things won't necessarily happen overnight but with dedication, determination and a little faith you will soon find those dreams become your reality!
