addition, they reflected on the real high points of the year and wrote
down these achievements and expressed gratitude and thanks.
The next step was to create vision boards of what they wanted
for the year ahead, collecting different images that held symbolic
meaning for them. Each listed their heart’s desires and set timelines
as to when they wanted to achieve them. And so it turned out that
that year proved to be their most productive, successful, happiest to
date so far, so much so that the next year they wanted to expand,
share and offer this ceremony to a small, intimate group of their
yoga students.
A small group of students brought their visions boards together
earlier this year for a ceremony that turned out to be truly special.
Half way through the year a review took place, an important
step offering the ability to reflect on how each participant was
progressing. To see the positive energy beaming out of everyone’s
eyes and faces as they realised how much they had already
achieved was a magical and rewarding experience. It validated how
powerful the process is.
Indeed, it’s such a positive and enriching experience being part of
the journey of helping students and friends, keeping them motivated
to achieve their goals and, just as importantly, be empowered by all
that they have already achieved.
So, with New Year’s Day fast approaching, why not host your
own manifesting ceremony event this year. Set yourself up for
the most positive year of your life through the power of a
manifesting ceremony.
Ceremony details
Create a vision board
This can be on a huge A1 sized board or it can be on an A4 piece
of paper, the choice is yours.
n Fill it with pictures/quotes/photos
n Put yourself in some of the pictures
Ask yourself these questions:
n What is your goal?
n How will you achieve it?
n Why do you want it?
n How will it enrich your life?
You can set goals around health, wealth, career, relationships,
families, personal yoga or fitness goals, places to travel to, the list
is endless.
Pick a date and time to host your ceremony and invite your
students, friends and colleagues along to join in. There is
tremendous power in amplifying what you want to manifest when
you share your dreams aloud with a group.
Maybe start your ceremony with a yoga or meditation practice.
This will ground and focus your mind.Then, when everyone has their own notepad:
n Reflect on the previous year, list goals you achieved, lessons you
learned, things you are grateful for. Write it all down.
n Write two or three habits or beliefs that you want to release...
then rip this page out and burn it (but do this safely with
water close by!).
n Write down 10 highlights from the previous year, and share three
of them aloud in your group.
n Declare and write down what you want for the year ahead
and read them aloud to your group; these should match your
vision board.
n Write down three goals you would like to achieve in six
months time.Now take a break, maybe have some tea and relax with some yummy
cake (raw or not, the choice is yours!), then close your ceremony
with a meditation and set a date for your half-year review.
Have a start date, a halfway/yearly review date and a conclusion
date. Know that you may not achieve every single thing you set out
to, but even if you achieve 50% of what you envisioned then what an
amazing year you will have had.
After the ceremony itself it is important to place your vision board
up at home, somewhere you can look at it every day and feel the
emotion attached to your goal or dream. Offer gratitude to what it
is that you want before you have even received it. By doing this you
are acknowledging to the universe that what you want is on its way
to you already.
