I Create in 2024

A Manifestation Ritual for the New Year
This is the year to become the conscious creator of your reality—manifesting through clarity, gratitude, and trust in divine timing.
A new year invites reflection, healing, and hope. Each January, I return to a sacred practice that’s become my tradition—the Burning Bowl Ceremony—a manifestation ritual that clears the past and calls in what’s next. I’ve been doing this ritual for over a decade, and every time I’m reminded how powerful our words can be in shaping the life we desire.
This practice can be done on New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, or anytime you feel called to release and renew. It’s a simple yet profound way to let go of old energy—resentments, fears, regrets—and to plant new intentions for your future.
Step One: Reflect
Ask yourself two questions:
What would I like to release from 2023?
What would I like to create in 2024?
Take a quiet moment for honest self-reflection. No judgment, no filters—just truth.
Step Two: Release
On paper, write everything you wish to release—emotions, patterns, or memories that no longer serve your growth. Once finished, fold the paper and place it in a large glass bowl.
You can safely burn the paper outdoors or tear it into small pieces. As you do, visualize the energy of those words lifting away—gray smoke or dust dissolving into light. Feel the release as your heart grows lighter.
Then close your eyes and breathe deeply. Imagine a soft pink light surrounding you, flooding your entire being. With every exhale, visualize gray mist leaving your body—taking with it the emotional weight you’ve carried.
Step Three: Create
Now, on a fresh sheet of paper, begin to write your intentions for the year ahead.
Start each sentence in the present tense:
I am prosperous.
I am healthy and fulfilled.
I am surrounded by love and abundance.
This sends a clear signal to the universe that your desires already exist in energetic form.
When you’re done, fold the paper and hold it between your hands. Visualize a white light flowing from your palms into the paper, sealing your intentions with divine energy.
Say a short prayer or affirmation, asking Spirit to guide your creations throughout the year.
Step Four: Trust
Place your folded paper in an envelope and write on the front: “I Create in 2024.”
Seal it and store it in a safe place. Then, forget about it. Truly let it go.
A year from now, open the envelope. You may be surprised by how many of your written intentions have already come to pass—or are unfolding in perfect timing.
A Final Thought
The word “abracadabra” is often thought of as a magician’s phrase, but it actually comes from ancient Aramaic. Translated, it means “I create as I speak.”
That’s the essence of manifestation: our words, thoughts, and intentions are creative energy. The more mindful we become of what we speak into existence, the more our outer world begins to mirror our inner truth.
So as you step into 2024, release the past with gratitude and speak your future into being—with love, faith, and the certainty that you are a divine co-creator in this universe.
May this year bring you prosperity, abundance, and love beyond measure.
