Intention is the most important part of manifestation. Setting clear intentions early on speeds up the process, but it also ensures that there are no “slip-ups” with your metaphorical order.

It’s like going through the drive-thru at a restaurant. You have a little time to plan what you want to get, but you must speak clearly into the intercom or the restaurant employees might make a mistake.

Therefore, on one hand, you must set crystal-clear intentions while you are in the process of manifesting your desires. Conversely, you must be a little more open-minded than you would be at a fast food drive-thru because the universe often has bigger plans for us than what we can create in our mind’s eye.

You’re being encouraged by Archangel Michael to take the good as it comes to you, living in the moment while still dreaming of the future. Now is your time to find balance, understanding that all good things cannot arrive overnight, but you are worthy of everything you desire.

Do the work to help your manifestations arrive more quickly.

Often, it feels like our manifestations simply fall in our lap via untapped human magic. However, we do more work to obtain the things we want than we give ourselves credit for.

Sometimes, we build up too much stress surrounding the things we are calling in. This creates blockages, but it also creates tension where there should be peace and joy. By the time your desires are in your physical world, you’re too consumed by the stress you went through to attain them.

Instead, enlist grounding practices to your manifestation rituals. That way, you can establish boundaries with yourself and the universe, working in tandem to deliver everything you want.

Use visualization techniques to speed up the process!

Of course, you should never create a view of your desires that is too rigid. Having a timeline on anything is the quickest way to slow yourself down. You should visualize what you want, creating clear intentions to minimize the risk of any “mess ups” on your “order.”

For example, you could begin a meditation ritual. During this ritual, you sit by yourself in a quiet place where you can concentrate. You don’t need to eliminate all thoughts, but rather, create a picture in your mind of the thing you are calling in.

If it’s romance you seek, envision all the details of the perfect date with the perfect partner. Imagine what they look like, what they smell like, and most importantly–how they make you feel. Sitting in those happy feelings calls your desires to you.
