Manifesting with candles is an age-old practice that spans both ancient and modern cultures. Gazing at a candle’s flame during meditation isn’t about magic—it’s a mindset.

According to the British Psychological Society, people who believe and practice manifestation also see themselves as successful.

By setting intentions and focusing on them, you create a positive framework to help achieve your goals, whether they’re personal or professional.

Manifesting With Candles: My Journey

Years ago, when my children were small and I was a single parent juggling three jobs, life was incredibly challenging. I yearned for more time with my kids, feeling overwhelmed by the guilt of being absent more than I wanted.

Despite my difficult circumstances, I set three ambitious goals for myself by the end of the year:

• securing a house,
• getting a new car,
• and finding a better job.

While these goals might seem common, the context was far from ordinary. We were living in a rundown trailer, my car was on its last legs, and I needed a job that would allow me more quality time with my children.

The Power of Manifestation

I wrote these goals on a piece of paper and taped it to my refrigerator.

Each time I opened it, I was reminded of what I wanted to achieve. I didn’t rely on magic; instead, I used meditation and manifestation to guide my actions.

I created a quiet space in my room where I lit a candle and visualized my goals. I repeated affirmations, telling myself that I would make these things happen.

Through hard work and perseverance, I achieved all three goals. I found a program to help low-income families purchase starter homes, worked with a car dealer and credit union to get an affordable vehicle, and eventually landed a better job that allowed me to quit one of my part-time positions, giving me more time with my kids.

Daily Manifestation Practice

Today, I continue to use candles in my daily meditation practice. I have a dedicated space in my home where I meditate, journal, and write down my goals. I tape these goals to my wall and look at them daily to keep them in focus.

I light a candle, meditate, and create a mantra to reinforce my desires.

Even if you’re skeptical, I encourage you to give it a try. Write down your goals, say them out loud, and place them where you can see them every day. Focus on them, and watch what unfolds. You might be surprised by how motivated you become to achieve your goals.
