Hey… heard you’re looking for some love in your life. Let’s make this process quick, easy and exciting with a four-step love manifestation circle. This method is tried and true. Results guaranteed, or your money back — even though it’s free, you get the principle! First and foremost, you MUST be in tune with the moon. She is our ultimate authority and will let you know when the time is right and good. Set your intentions, and set them strong. Let’s begin. 

The gathering: Manifestation starts at ground zero, so take care in gathering your materials. Whatever feels relevant and personal will do nicely. For instance, you could raid your kitchen for spices, forage for bits of organic matter down by the creek or fold yourself an origami paper crane. Opportunities are endless; it’s your ritual, after all. You will also need a source of music, as well as a notebook and a pen. 

    The set up: This will work best past dusk. Come dressed as you please — you deserve to feel beautiful and in-tune with your own personhood. Bring a friend, or two, or four or more. Or nobody! I’m not here to judge. Find a place where you feel safe and cozy. If you wish to remain indoors, settle in the corner of a room and dim the lights. However, taking things outdoors is preferable. Settle in the grass, on the dirt or in some gravel. Bring a candle(s) for mood purposes, but do be careful! The only desirable kind of fire starting in this case is the kind inside your heart. 

      The act: Sip on a cup of tea or a glass of wine if you so desire. Turn on some music: elevator music (muzak), trip-hop, smooth jazz or something of that sort. Form a circle with the people and things you have gathered for this occasion. Sit criss cross. Fix your posture. Take deep breaths and focus on your intentions. Speak your intentions aloud or write them down (in cursive), using “I have” and “I am” statements instead of prospective, future-tense musings. Take your pen and let it flow. Soak up the moment. Repetition deeply assists manifestation, so chanting is encouraged (though whispering works too). Feel free to move about, but do not break the circle! You must remain aligned. 

        The closure: Now, I won’t dictate your time usage. Wrap things up when you feel they are complete. Say “thank you” to the moon and to the universe, take a deep breath and open your heart. Remember and hold onto the mood that you so carefully curated via your very own love manifestation circle… know that you will soon reap the rewards of that love you once longed for. Act intentionally from here on out, and be sure to cherish bits of love and joy in your daily life. Remember that love isn’t strictly romantic. As you are pure of heart, influx is inevitable.
