When I do vision boards, I like to cut out images and print out personal pictures to include. I also write out words, paste in quotes or phrases in marker, and sometimes watercolor colors in between the pictures to make it look like one larger image. Some people also write affirmations. —Paulette Sherman M.A., PsyD, marriage coach and author of Marriage and the Law of Attraction: The Secret to Creating Your Perfect Relationship I usually use vision boards for manifesting big-picture dreams that feel like a bit of a stretch at the time. I have used vision boards to manifest vacations, career steps such as growing my collection of Crystal Alchemy singing bowls, writing a book, attracting abundance and prosperity, planning a retreat to lead, love and partnership, a family, and other exciting experiences and opportunities. —Susy Markoe Schieffelin of The Copper Vessel, Los Angeles–based sound healer, reiki master, yoga and meditation teacher, and life/sobriety coach —Vasavi Kumar, LCSW, MSEd, licensed therapist, coach, and speaker The key with vision boarding is to use it as a springboard for creation; ask, “How would someone who has what you want act, feel, behave, and operate?” Adopt those energies for faster manifestation. Combine the creation process with physical action, taking physical steps to move you closer to your vision. Pay attention to nudges from the Universe, the guidance that comes in the form of an idea; it will lead you to your next step. —Shannon Kaiser, spiritual author of five books including The Self-Love Experiment and Adventures for Your Soul —Raqual Vasallo, spiritual adviser and author of Spiritual Seductress: The High-Powered Women’s Guide To Devour the World Through Spiritual Guidance So, I like to visually create from a first-person point of view. For example, if I’m manifesting a tangible item like a car, I will create the vision (on my board, book, or device) that is from the perspective of me sitting in that car. If I’m manifesting a trip, I will create the vision of what it looks like while I am in the middle of that ocean, etc. —Serena Poon, C.N., CHC, CHN, chef, nutritionist, reiki master, and founder of the method of Culinary Alchemy® —Margarita Alcantara, LAc, licensed acupuncturist, reiki master and teacher, and medicine woman
