Do you have dreams and desires for yourself that you’d like to see become reality? We all do, right?! 

Did you know that wherever you put your attention, that thing, person, area of life, or quality will start manifesting in your life?

If you focus on anger, anger will manifest. Focus on love, and love manifests. Focus on imperfection, and imperfection manifests. Setting an intention with attention leads to manifestation. Observe the intention, and put your attention on whatever you want to grow in life. Intention, attention, and manifestation—that is how the universe manifests.

So, if we are to manifest positive things in our lives, we need a powerful tool to help us manage our minds and emotions. Otherwise, we might sabotage ourselves with negative thoughts and emotions and never realize our deepest desires.

There are many reasons why meditation has become so popular these days. Less stress, better health, and being more relaxed are just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. One of the more surprising reasons some people are turning to meditation is that meditation practice actually helps people to manifest their deepest desires. But how?

How does meditation help manifest your desires?

increased self awareness

Imagine for a moment that you’re feeling stressed out, scattered, bogged down with negative thoughts, and darn right grumpy. How can anyone expect to manifest their desires in that mindset? It's not possible, right? 

But if you have a meditation practice, your stress levels go down, and you have mental clarity, an increase in energy, more optimism, and life satisfaction! Now, what’s possible? The sky is the limit!

Let’s look at some of how meditation helps you manifest your desires:

1) Allows you to focus and stay present

We all want more mindfulness in our lives. The more present we are in each moment, the more mindful we are of both the inner and outer world. We can focus on the tasks at hand without the constant back-and-forth oscillation between the past and the future. Memories of what happened and worries about what might happen don’t distract us from the important activities we take on. 

The increase in mindfulness makes any activity more efficient and productive. Hence, your mind has more energy for focusing on and obtaining what you really want. 

2) Increases positive thinking

Resting your mind is crucial to good health, just like the basic personal habits of sleeping, brushing your teeth, bathing, exercising, and taking a day off from work every so often. It’s mental hygiene. Meditation releases stress and refreshes your mind and body in a way that makes it easy to have more positive thoughts.

With meditation practice, you naturally start having more positive thoughts and feelings, which ultimately engages the law of attraction. Manifesting love and other desirable qualities happens naturally.

3) Enhances intuition

Your inner voice can provide solutions to problems and guidance on how to proceed. Your instinctive, intuitive nature and ability to know what is best will become more prominent the longer you meditate on a regular basis. Being in touch with your intuition can help you make better decisions and progress towards your life goals.

4) Cultivates gratitude

The more gratitude you express, the more you’ll receive from the world. One law of the universe is that like attracts like. Naturally, the more you feel abundance in your life, the more abundant energy will surround you. This means that increasing your own sense of gratitude, even if just for your own body and your own potential, will help you to manifest your desires. It may take some time, but with meditation, you are developing patience and opening the door to let the law of attraction work.

What are the secrets of the Law of Attraction?

goal oriented

Most people are familiar with the universal law of attraction. Like attracts like. Simply put, what we put out into the universe comes back to us. Sounds similar to the law of karma, doesn’t it? 

Want to know some of the secrets of the law of attraction? Here are some insights that will help you manifest your desires.

  1. Drop your feverishness. If you chase your dreams with feverishness, then very little can happen. An intense craving for your desires to be fulfilled only keeps them at bay. Dropping feverishness and craving makes it possible for the universe to fulfill what you desire.

  2. Have faith. An Arab proverb tells us to “Trust in God but tie up your camel.” This reminds us that we should have faith that everything will work out but do what we can to ensure a favorable outcome. In other words, we don’t just sit in meditation, having faith that all will be provided, and do nothing. We take action, too.

  3. Be open to possibilities. Sometimes, your vision can expand or change and end up looking different and better! Let the universe be a co-creator in realizing your dreams while being open to new ideas.

  4. Be prepared for setbacks. Failures can happen along the way to realizing your dreams. Be prepared for a little imperfection. If you hold onto perfection, you can become irritable when things do not go how you want them to. And when you’re irritable, you cannot attract what you really want to happen. Practice acceptance and patience, and keep moving ahead.

  5. Be generous. Generosity is related to the law of attraction. Be it money, time, kindness, or other forms of generosity, this mindset puts you in a favorable receiving mode.

  6. Have confidence. Having confidence that only the best will happen for you is another way to help manifest your desires. Also, having confidence that you can overcome any obstacles plays a big part in the law of attraction. Know that everything you need and more is on the way. 

  7. Let go. At some point, you just need to let go. In letting go, you create the space and opportunity for fulfillment to happen. This is especially true when it comes to affirmations. Too much repetition creates subtle doubt in the mind.

  8. Meditate regularly. Through meditation, you are able to drop your feverishness, your confidence increases, the spirit of generosity dawns, you are able to take things in stride, you become more open-minded, more faith happens, and you learn to let go! So, the real secret to the law of attraction is to MEDITATE.

What kinds of meditation make the best manifestation meditation?

The best meditation for manifesting is one that can do everything from increasing mindfulness to enhancing your intuition and all the other things we have already mentioned. Guided meditation is helpful on one level, but if you want to access the superconscious level of the mind, then try either a mantra-based meditation technique or breath-based meditation like SKY Breath Meditation.


The best and easiest attraction tool for more success, manifesting love, better health, and realizing your dreams is quite possibly breathing, as in SKY Breath Meditation. SKY also has many benefits outside the realm of manifesting your desires. Greater mental focus, enhanced deep sleep, improved immunity, and more joy are just a few of the benefits researchers and participants report with a SKY practice.

Why not take this first step toward realizing your dreams!? The universe is sending you a sign! 😉
