REFLECTION QUESTION

Consider a goal or dream you're currently working towards. What rituals or practices could you incorporate to bolster your belief in manifestation?

“Once people have the right tools and can understand their brains, they can accept themselves and love themselves in a way that they hadn't before.” - Rachel Hechtman

“When we manifest something, it's like when you're going somewhere on a road trip. You know where you want to go. You have your destination, but then you have to let go of how you're going to get there. You have to kind of just get there blindly. You have to let the universe guide you there.” - Rachel Hechtman
