5 Ways to Speed Up Your Soulmate Search

If you’re planning to use the law of attraction to manifest your soulmate, here are a few easy things you can do to speed up the process.

1. Light intention candles
2. Clear physical space
3. Make a vision board
4. Write affirmations
5. Use visualizations

I used each of these practices when I manifested the love of my life.

Light Intention Candles

I was first introduced to intention candles at a local metaphysical store in my neighborhood. They had a whole wall of prayer candles with specific intentions on each candle, like love, success, money, and health. The candles promised that if you lit your chosen candle and aligned your heart with your request, your intention would manifest. Of course I immediately bought the “Love” candle.

You can use a specific intention candle, like I did, or you can use a new plain candle or incense or sage. While the store of course promised that the candles had been imbued with specific energy, I think the most important part is how you feel when you’re using them.

Here’s what you do:

1. Set your intention for what you want to manifest. Truly feel the feelings you want to have. Imagine what your life is like, now that your dream has manifested. Get into that feeling space of having what you want and let your heart expand.
2. Light the candle. As you light it, know that your dream is coming to you. Continue to feel the feeling of having what you want. Allow yourself to feel the joy of connecting with your soulmate and having that person in your life.
3. Allow the candle to burn while you enjoy the feelings you have manifested. You can let it burn in one lighting or snuff out the candle and repeat the process, depending on how large the candle is. Of course, never leave the candle unattended!
4. If you snuff out the candle, thank the universe for sending your manifestation to you, and feel that it is already on its way.

If you’re curious about the intention candle I used, you can get one yourself! This is the new version of the candle I used. Please note that I am not affiliated with this store and am sharing the link in case it may be helpful to you.

Clear Physical Space

Another really powerful way to speed up your manifestation is to create physical space for it in your life. This is a strong signal to the universe that you know your intention will manifest, and will make it happen that much sooner.

What does it look like to clear space? For me, since I wanted to manifest a life partner, I had to do an inventory of my life at the time. I was living in a one bedroom apartment by myself, and it was pretty much set up for just one person. Meaning, my closet and drawers were full, and my “dining table” had just one chair! There was no space for another person to join me in my apartment.

If you’re looking to manifest your life partner, look around your space and ask yourself: if I brought my life partner home tomorrow, is there room for him or her to live and bring his or her things? Would it be comfortable for two people to live there?

If the answer is no, take action to change that. It may mean getting additional seating (like I did) or just rearranging your furniture to make it more functional and accessible for two people to live. I think my action to clear space in my closet and dresser for my future partner’s things really let the universe know that I was serious and ready for him to show up!

Make a Vision Board

I love vision boards. I am a visual person and love gathering together images that resonate with me and my intentions and dreams. Even if you’re not a visual person, I think there is value in the process—and I’ll share some suggestions for what you can do if you aren’t.

For your vision board, find images that exemplify the kind of relationship you want or the kind of feelings you want to have during your relationship. The images could be things like couples holding hands, a family, words that represent what you’re looking for (like “soulmate”!) or anything else that feels good to you when you look at it.

Once you have gathered all of your images, pick out the ones that most strongly resonate with you and add them to the board.

I highly recommend that you also incorporate a recent photo of yourself where you are happy. You can tape your face into an image of a happy couple (this is what I did), or just have yourself in the middle with your dream partner represented with an image next to you.

Next, if there are any other feelings or words that you want to include, fill in the blank spots on your board with these words. For example, if you want a feeling of security, but you weren’t able to find specific images or words for this feeling, just write “security” and any other words that bring up this feeling for you.

It’s important that you include all of the feelings and attributes of your perfect relationship on the board. Why? Because these are the images and feelings that you are bringing into your experience—don’t leave any wanted things out!

In case you were wondering, I keep all of my vision boards—even after the vision has manifested. It’s fun to go back sometimes and see all of the things that have manifested in your experience! For me this included the style of my wedding dress and wedding ring (even though I created my board well in advance of actually getting engaged)!

Once you’ve created your board, you can either place it in an area where you will see it every day, or put it in a safe space and bring it out when you want to meditate on this feeling and intention.

Most people would recommend that you keep the poster out where you see it frequently, but I personally didn’t like this idea. It felt like exposing a part of my inner self and wasn’t something I was ready for (even though I lived alone!). But guess what? It still worked! So don’t worry if you’re not comfortable leaving it out—if you keep it tucked away somewhere special and only want to take it out on occasion, that’s totally OK!

If you’re not a visual person, you can instead create a special manifestation box instead. The process is essentially the same, but instead of adding the images to a poster board, you’ll be putting them in your box.

How does this work? Find a special box and imagine that everything you put inside the box will come true. Then go ahead and add all of the words and images that represent your soulmate relationship to the box—knowing that as you add them to the box, you are manifesting this exact relationship into your experience!

Write Affirmations

Affirmations are a tried-and-true method of manifestation. If you’re new to affirmations, check out my other post about writing affirmations that actually manifest.

Use affirmations that describe exactly the kind of relationship you want to have. You can either write free-flowingly, or focus on specific characteristics.

Here are some sample prompts to help you get started:

• How did you feel when you first met your soulmate?
• Imagine a perfect day with your soulmate, what would you do? How would you feel?
• What characteristics are most important to you in your soulmate?
• How would you describe your soulmate relationship?
• How do you feel now that you are in your perfect relationships?
• What kinds of things do you and your soulmate do together?

When you write affirmations, as with the other practices, it’s important to get to the feeling place of what you want. Don’t get caught up too much in the details, those aren’t as important as the feeling.

Use Visualizations

Visualizations are a fun and easy way to get into the “feeling place” of having your soulmate. When you have some time, imagine what it would be like to be with your soulmate right now. Have fun with it!

If you’re having a hard time imagining life with your soulmate, here are some prompts that may help:

• What is something you would want to do with your soulmate? This could be something as mundane as going out to your favorite restaurant, or something huge like sailing the Atlantic Ocean together!
• Imagine date night with your soulmate—where would you go? What would you wear? How would you feel?
• How would it feel to come home to your soulmate? How would he or she greet you? How would you unwind together?
• Think about how you might feel when you’re just relaxing at home together. What feelings come to mind? How do you want to feel?

Don’t worry if you’re not a visual person or if it’s hard for you to “see” what it would be like. Again, the vision is not as important as the feeling!
