Manifestation Techniques for Beginners
Manifestation is a huge trend right now. And honestly, a lot of us were tapping into it even before it became popular on the internet.
According to Esther Hicks, who channels Abraham, you can learn to work with the laws of the universe to receive your desires.
Who Is Esther Hicks?
Esther Hicks is a best-selling author and speaker who shares the teachings of Abraham, a group of non-physical beings focused on helping humans understand the Law of Attraction. According to Abraham, "You attract what you are a vibrational match to."
The core principle of her teaching is this: What you think and feel consistently becomes your reality.
I quickly explain it in this short TikTok video
Manifestation isn’t just about getting stuff—it’s about learning to consciously create your life.
Most people live on autopilot, reacting to circumstances rather than intentionally shaping them. Learning manifestation gives you the tools to shift from being a passenger to the driver of your own life.
So let’s dive into it
1. The Law of Attraction, Explained Simply
“That which is like unto itself is drawn.” – Abraham Hicks
The Law of Attraction means that your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs attract experiences that match them. If you focus on lack, you attract more lack. If you focus on abundance, you invite more abundance.
That’s why feeling good now is the key to manifesting what you want—not waiting until you have it.
2. The Emotional Guidance Scale
Abraham teaches that your emotions are your internal compass. They help you know whether you're in alignment (close to your desires) or out of alignment (resisting your desires).
If you feel joy, excitement, peace, love — you're in alignment.
If you feel doubt, fear, worry, jealousy — you're out of alignment.
Beginner Tip: You don't need to jump from fear to joy in one leap. Just reach for the next best feeling thought. Move gradually up the emotional scale.
3. 5 Esther Hicks Manifesting Techniques for Beginners
1. Segment Intending
Break your day into "segments" (like getting ready, driving, working, eating) and set a positive intention before each one.
💡 Example: “I intend to enjoy a productive and peaceful work session. I allow clarity and focus to come easily.”
This tunes your vibration before you even begin.
2. The 17-Second Rule
Hold a pure, positive thought for 17 seconds, and it begins to attract other similar thoughts. Hold it for 68 seconds and you’re well on your way to manifesting that vibration.
💡 Example: Think about something you love (a beautiful beach, a loving relationship, a dream house). Visualize it in rich detail. Stay with it!
3. The Wouldn’t It Be Nice Game
This game helps you release resistance by gently shifting focus toward possibility.
💡 Example:
Wouldn’t it be nice if I had more clarity about my next steps?
Wouldn’t it be nice if money flowed in with ease?
Wouldn’t it be nice if today felt light and joyful?
This technique activates desire without pressure, creating alignment.
4. Rampage of Appreciation
Pick a topic or your entire life and start listing everything you appreciate. This raises your vibration immediately.
💡 Try saying:
I love how the sun feels today.
I’m grateful for my cozy bed.
I appreciate my growth and how far I’ve come.
Appreciation is one of the fastest ways to shift your energy.
5. Virtual Reality Technique
Use your imagination to mentally place yourself in the reality you want. Make it vivid with sensory details and emotion.
💡 Example: Visualize your dream life:
What do you see around you?
What are you doing?
How do you feel?
This isn’t about effort — it’s about enjoying the feeling now.
4. Letting Go: The Secret Ingredient
One of the biggest blocks to manifesting is obsession or neediness. Abraham says:
“You cannot be focused on the absence of what you want and allow it into your experience.”
That means: After you set your intention, let go. Trust that the Universe has your back. Enjoy your life and stay open to inspired action.
