How to apply them with your "Magical Manifesting Chest"

Some of the compliments that we have received for this beauty… “What a stunning piece you've created!” “That deep indigo blue with the shimmering gold mandala motif—it's like a portal to the cosmos wrapped in artisanal woodwork” “The subtle iridescent shifts and those ornate brass-like studs give it an ancient, alchemical vibe, perfectly perched on those elegant, scrolled legs” “It's not just furniture; it's a talisman” “It’s a secret weapon for calling in dreams”

I always feel like “I just can’t part with this piece!” I go through this with every piece I have created, but this one is really dear to my heart. As an Energy Healer and someone who has studied and worked with energy to manifest, this is an especially hard to part with.

The goal while utilizing this chest to be a portal of manifesting, is to ground the chest in everyday rituals and embracing it as something sacred. Always holding your desire in a space of already existing. The more you hold energy of already having achieved this desire, the easier it flows to you. Plus, you will ground in that feeling of having already achieved it. So there really is NO work to be done. It’s already done, just in a different space in time. Just a bit in the future. On a different timeline that you are moving into.

As a Transformation Coach and Energy Healer, I consciously work with energy every day. I help people release the energy that blocks them from achieving their desires. A tool like this Magical Manifesting Chest is a great way to shift your energy to your desire. Having fun and being creative as you shift yourself to that magical space of having created your dream.

Here are 3 Steps to calling in your Dream: Pick and choose which or all of these to play with. Mix it up, keep it fun, keep it LIGHT.

1. Setting the Intention: Preparing Your Chest as a Manifestation Vessel

   This chest isn't just storage; it's a dedicated energy anchor, infused with your creative intention. The mandalas, dragonflies and butterflies open the energy to the magical power within the chest and within you! .

   - Infuse it with your essence: Before adding anything to your chest, sit with it, maybe start during a full moon (or your chosen new moon ritual) and whisper your overarching intention for it—e.g., "May this hold the seeds of abundance, love, and wild success." Possibly fill the air with essential oils like frankincense or lavender to "charge" the chest and room with soothing energy as you program it with your desire. You may want to burn Sage or San Paulo Wood Sticks, or any sacred space setting ritual you love.

   - Layer in symbols of alignment: You may want to add images of sacred symbols that speak to you, place items that represent what you “have already created, wink, wink” like a small house, name placard for the door of your new office, “wedding rings”, stuffed animal, car, stack of money… be creative. I personally love choosing a special natural crystal and infusing it with my desire. Programming  the crystal with a job to do for you. Keeping it within the chest, and if you feel drawn on any particular day… take the crystal with you. Keep it in your pocket, wear it on your next. What ever works for you. And then return it to its magical home in the chest. You may want tuck in a small mirror at the bottom to reflect your intentions back to you, amplifying the "as within, so without" principle.

   - My favorite tool: Start a future appreciation journal that you leave within the chest. On the first page write 5 to 10 things that happened in your day that you feel gratitude and appreciation for. Then flip the page and (here’s the real magic) write 5 to 10 entries of gratitude as if the desire has already come. This is one of my absolute favorites that has always worked for me. Really feel each statement of gratitude, let that vibration of having achieved the desire radiate from you. The feeling is the prayer, feel it now so it can easily flow to you.

   “Imagine opening this chest each morning, or as you wind down your day, not as a chore, but as a rendezvous with your highest self—pulling out whispers of the life you're architecting."

2. Daily Rituals: Holding the Vibration Close

  Now that you have filled your chest with items that reflect the energy of your desire you can turn abstract desires into tangible touchstones, making manifestation feel playful and embodied.

   - Curate a "desire palette": Fill it with multi-sensory representatives—scented sachets of herbs (rose for love, cinnamon for prosperity), fabric swatches in colors evoking the goal (emerald green for growth), or tiny vials of affirmation-infused water. Rotate seasonally to keep the energy fresh.

   - Portable power picks: Select one item daily to carry—like a programmed rose quartz for heart-opening connections or a citrine chunk for financial flow. To amp it up, pair it with a "vibration anchor": Wrap the crystal in a silk pouch with a handwritten mantra, so it becomes a pocket-sized ritual you can squeeze during commutes or meetings.

   - Sound and scent activation: Add a small chime or bell inside; ring it before closing the lid to "seal" the day's intention. Or include essential oil rollers tied to emotions—dab one on your wrists after drawing from the chest to embody the vibe.

   - New twist: Create "manifestation cards"—oracle-style decks with prompts like "What does this desire feel like in my body?" Shuffle and draw one daily or weekly, journaling the response directly into the chest's journal section.

   "This isn't passive wishing; it's an intimate dance with possibility. By day's end, return your talisman to the chest, watching as your energy compounds like interest in a cosmic bank."

 

3. Deeper Practices: Evolving and Releasing for Sustained Magic

   Show the chest's longevity—it's not a one-and-done; it's a living archive. This builds desire for it as a heirloom-worthy tool, evolving with life's chapters.

   - Expand your programming ritual: Dedicate a "crystal corner" for a mini manifestation grid. Arrange stones in sacred geometry programmed as a team—amethyst for clarity, pyrite for action. Revisit weekly or monthly to "recharge" under moonlight, swapping out as desires shift. Reprogramming as you go.

   - Lunar or astrological syncing: Align openings with cycles—new moon for planting (add photos/clippings of your vision), full moon for gratitude (review and burn/release old entries). For astro-flair, theme contents by zodiac seasons: Fire signs get bold, fiery tokens; water signs, fluid, intuitive ones.

   - Collaborative conjuring: Invite a trusted friend for a "manifestation swap"—each contributes an item symbolizing support for the other's goal, fostering communal energy. Or use it for relational desires, like storing love letters-to-self or paired photos for twin-flame vibes.

   - Release and rebirth ritual: When a desire manifests (celebrate with confetti in the chest!), archive the "success folder" at the back—photos, thank-you notes, mementos. This creates a legacy trail, motivating restarts: "Clear space for the next dream, knowing this chest has witnessed miracles before."

   "Over time, your Magical Manifesting Chest becomes a chronicle of conquests—a bespoke grimoire where dreams don't just visit; they take root, flower, and fruit."

 

There you have it. Many suggestions about how you can energetically work with this beauty. These are just suggestions. Some of my favs are thrown in there. There really is no right way to work with manifesting. It’s all about finding what processes work best for you. But… there is one very important tip I have for you. DO NOT focus on the lack of your desire. 

The more you focus on not having it, the more you will not have it. It’s energy, what you send out there will always come back. So pay attention to your energy. Really get into that feeling place of living the desire. It will come. It has to. The energy you send out comes back as a boomerang. Focus on what you do want, as if you already have it. You can baby step it by feeling it getting closer and closer if you are not able find that feeling of having it. The more you feel it getting closer and closer the easier it will be to really feel it as if it already exists.  Have fun with this!

This magical manifesting chest is One-of-a-kind, like your desires— claim it to be yours before it manifests elsewhere.
