Love Manifestation 101

By Arielle Ford

What does it take to manifest the love of your life? It’s an easy formula called The Soulmate Secret that requires a little time, energy, intention and attention, and it’s worked for thousands of men and women (all ages, shapes and sizes) around the world.

It starts with what Buddhists call “Beginner’s Mind.” You begin by taking your opinions, reasons and beliefs about why you can’t or haven’t found love and put them on a shelf for now, allowing yourself to “not know” how or when or where your soulmate will appear. You surrender and trust (just for now) that everything is about to work in your favor.

The second step is to create a clear intention. Write out a declaration to yourself and the Universe that clearly states that you are now ready for your perfect life-partner to appear in your life.

Example: I joyfully welcome my soulmate into my life. He/She is ready for a long-term loving, affectionate, monogamous lifetime with me as we create a fabulous life together.

Next, spend time each day in silence focused on how it “feels” inside your body to be in the present moment with your beloved. Close your eyes, use your imagination and see them sitting across from you. As you feel the heat radiate off their body, what feelings are evoked in your heart? Do you feel joyful? Excited? Relieved? Spend time feeling these feelings (it’s ok to fake it ‘til you make it), knowing and trusting that on some cosmic level you are truly spending time with your beloved. You can even use this time to have a silent conversation with them. It’s important to do this every day. Remember, this exercise is about “feeling” not “seeing” so focus on emotions not literally trying to imagine them.

Becoming a successful manifestor – whether you want to manifest love, money, a new career, or a parking space – requires some emotional maturity. Great manifestors have learned the art of managing their thoughts and emotions so that even when doubt, fear or other limiting feelings pop up, they’re not swept into a spiral of negativity. Developing this kind of mental discipline requires us to make a deliberate choice to focus our attention on what we desire rather than what we don’t.

For example, whenever I catch myself dwelling on a negative thought or feeling, I say to myself “cancel-cancel,” and intentionally create a new vision for myself. Sometimes this simple shift in perception is all I need, and other times I reach into my toolkit of emotional release techniques and dedicate five or ten minutes to working through my mini-issue so that my creative energies stay aligned with the outcome I desire.

As someone who is consciously focused on manifesting your soulmate, you too must recognize the powerful influence your thoughts and feelings have, and do your best to keep them positive. I know: the process of magnetizing your soulmate can get discouraging at times. But if you’re approaching it from the mindset of “it’s been a year and it still hasn’t happened,” you’re living in the reality of what’s missing. The universe simply can’t add more love to your life when you’re focused on the love you lack.

Like the old tale of the farmer pulling up the newly planted seed to search for evidence of growth, the very act of “searching” evokes a desperation that blocks the natural flow of love. But if you can shift your focus to magnetizing your soulmate rather than “looking” for him or her, and if you can adjust your emotional state from impatience to savoring the waiting, love will blossom in its own time, in colors and fragrances that will both surprise and delight you.

Those who successfully manifest love have learned and surrendered to the fact that it’s not our job to know how our soulmate will appear. We don’t have to micromanage every encounter or anticipate every detail. Our job is to simply prepare ourselves in body, mind, and soul and then relax into the knowledge that the one we’ve asked for – wherever they may be at this moment – is on the way.

Your soulmate is on their way to you from wherever they are right now. The details are not yours to coordinate. Your job is simply to love yourself, enjoy your life as it unfolds in each moment, hold a clear intention of the love you are manifesting, and have faith in the unseen forces that are even now guiding the fulfillment of your dream.
