How many times in the past couple of years have you heard a friend say “Manifest it” when asking them for love advice? According to Google Trends, the search term “how to manifest” has steadily risen in the last five years. Can a single thought turn into reality? Of course, visualizing your ideal love and willing it into reality sounds too good to be true. Countless people claim that this method works for them. If you're open-minded and want to know how to manifest love, it's time to delve into its theory.

Manifestation is the idea of bringing something you want into existence through aspirational thought practice. It has roots in the 19th-century New Thought spiritual movement, which included the belief that our thoughts can influence the material world. The theory behind manifestation is that everything is made up of energy, including your thoughts and emotions. By focusing your thoughts and emotions on what you want, you can create a vibrational match between your energy and the energy of your desired outcome. This creates an attraction that brings your desired outcome into your life.

Manifestation is a concept that expresses your reality through thoughts, also known as the "Law of Attraction." Manifestation not only controls the attraction of fate but is also a form of self-exploration. It may allow you to tap into your psyche and provide a framework for understanding your inner self. And in the context of today’s many unsettling realities, it makes sense that you may be inspired to reflect on your values and priorities. Manifestation techniques can include visualization, affirmations, gratitude, positive thinking, and taking inspired actions toward your goals.

In essence, manifestation can help us hone in on ourselves and what matters to us. Whether through manifesting practices or otherwise, thinking about what you want in life may help you prioritize what’s important to you—whether that’s leaving a relationship that’s no longer working for you, say, or applying for a job in a field you’ve always felt passionate about. It's important to note that manifestation is not a magic solution or a guarantee of success, but rather a tool to help you align your thoughts and emotions with your goals and desires.

Now, let's look at the good stuff. If you want to harness the power of your mind and emotions to attract a loving relationship into your life. There are five relatively straightforward steps you can follow.

First things first, figure out what your ideal relationship looks like. Take the time to consider what you’re currently looking for in a partner. Decide on the kind of relationship you wish to be in without thinking about how. You might have already dwindled hours away picturing your dream partner but now it’s time to get serious. How do you envision your relationship? What qualities do you hope they have? Imagine yourself in a loving, supportive, and fulfilling relationship.

Create a vision board with images, affirmations, and quotes that represent your ideal relationship. Place it in a prominent place where you can see it every day. Or, you can have your vision engraved on custom jewelry and carry it with you every day. VANCARO moissanite rings and personalized necklaces are great options.

Replace them with positive affirmations and beliefs that are in line with your desires.

Embody the person who already has this love in their life. Act and behave as if your dream person has already manifested. The most important thing is believing you are worthy of true love. We manifest what we subconsciously believe we are worthy of—and a lot of us hold a lot of limiting beliefs around love and relationships. We may have had traumatic experiences in relationships, or we might have insecurities that have built up throughout our lives and that is our biggest block—it's also what causes us to settle for less than we deserve in relationships.

Take inspired actions toward your goal of manifesting love. This might include joining a dating app, attending social events, or trying new hobbies. When you’ve done all of the above, you might find that your ideal person "presents" themself. Don’t ignore that sign. Do something about it. Taking aligned action is about pursuing and saying ‘yes’ to potential partners who have the qualities that you desire to have in your life and ‘no’ to the ones that don’t. Don’t entertain or pursue someone who doesn’t match what you truly want.

The final step is perhaps the hardest. The love that you attract might not look how you imagined to prepare yourself for some surprises along the way. Surrendering is simply allowing love into your life without attachment to one specific outcome or person. It doesn’t serve you to be this rigid, linear thinker. When you’re open to creative possibilities for love, the universe may surprise you and you’ll meet someone unexpected. Ten years later you’ll look back and understand why it didn’t work out with all the other ones.

A lot of people wonder how long it takes to manifest love. There's no time limit on love. It can be incredibly fast or take time for you to believe you are worthy of it. It can happen at any given point after you decide that you are inviting love into your life and aligning your thoughts and actions with it. So we may not be able to pinpoint exactly when those true love manifestations will come to fruition but there are a few ways to know you're on the right track.

Paying attention to the way you are feeling when you are thinking about something or someone is an indication that you are in the process of attracting something you want. Essentially, you get what you think about whether you want it or not. The cool part is that you always have the option to choose better thoughts. If you find yourself meeting and dating people who seem like they might be a good fit for you, even if they don’t turn into a relationship, then you know that you’re on the right path. For example, if your idea of love is to feel supported, loved, and cared for, some sign that it's coming is that you start to feel this way before this person arrives. 

Your emotions are your guidance system. If you're feeling frustrated or like the universe has been testing you, don't worry, this could be a good sign. Your person is on the way when exes start appearing in your life. Exes are often a test from the universe that you have to overcome. Exes appear to test your self-worth: Do you fall back into an old pattern, or do you recognize your worth and see how much more you deserve now?

You can also manifest to strengthen the love you already have if you’re currently in a relationship. The longer you focus on something or someone, the more powerful it becomes and the stronger your attraction. If you’re having a difficult time finding a partner, or you feel that you attract the wrong partners because you may be unknowingly blocking yourself from your goal. You may need to understand and heal attachment trauma stemming from your childhood. This can show up as attracting partners with incompatible attachment styles, self-sabotaging healthy relationships out of fear, or having unrealistic expectations of perfection vs. compatibility.

When you have this information about yourself, that’s when you can begin to make conscious dating decisions and search out partners who are looking for the same type of relationship you are. At this stage, you can do more typical manifestation practices, such as putting out a spiritual call for a healthy partner. The law of attraction finds others who are offering a similar vibration and brings them into your experience. Remember, manifesting love is a process that requires patience, trust, and faith. Keep focusing on your vision and take inspired actions toward your goal, and the universe will bring you what you desire.
