How do you manifest a friendship?
As with anything else you’re trying to manifest, manifesting a friendship relies on you aligning your energy to be a match for it.
So whether it’s a specific friendship you’re trying to manifest, or just better friendships in general, you need to work on your own energy and make sure you’re living in alignment with that of someone who has high quality friendships.
In other words, you need to “act as if”, which is always my top tip for prioritising any desire.
Here is a quick guide of how this might look in practice to help get you on track and in alignment with your desired friendship.
Step one: identify the friendship you desire
What is it you want from a friendship? Is there a specific friend you want to manifest? What qualities would your ideal friend have?
Step two: identify the feelings that you associate with this friendship
Why do you want these qualities in a friend? How would this make you feel? What would this friendship give you?
Step three: act as if and get into alignment
Align yourself with the energy of your desired friendship by acting as if you already have this friend.
This means you need to give yourself the feelings that you believe this friendship would give you. For example, if you think your desired friendship would make you feel more able to be yourself, how could you embody this energy now?
In this example, this might look like showing up as your authentic self as if you already had this friend cheering you on. (except you’d have to be the one cheering yourself on!)
And furthermore, to get in alignment with the friendships you want to attract, you need to also be the friend that you want in somebody else.
That means that if you desire certain qualities in a friendship then you need to also treat others in this same way.
It sounds like such a cliche to say “treat others how you wish to be treated” but in the case of manifesting friendships it couldn’t be more true!
Once you begin embodying the energy of the friendships that you desire then you will naturally begin to attract others that embody this energy too.
How to use friendship affirmations to improve friendships
So where do friendship affirmations come in?
Well, when it comes to getting in alignment with the friendships you desire, there can be challenges involved.
As I hinted to earlier with my own experience, some of us will have negative thoughts and feelings surrounding friendships that can act as energetic blocks to us attracting the kinds of friendships that we truly want for ourselves.
As somebody who was badly bullied in school and has been let down and betrayed several times by friends, it’s not always easy to act as if or keep showing up to friendships that keep letting me down time and time again.
In this case a little more mindset work is required in the form of friendship affirmations.
Friendship affirmations can help to gradually change your belief system surrounding friends by rewiring your brain through repetition. This consistent practice can help you become an energetic match for the kinds of friendships you desire, regardless of your previous experiences.
For me, the best way to work with friendship affirmations is to combine them with something like the mirror method to really help you embody the energy of the friendships you’re trying to create.
You might also choose to write your affirmations down or record yourself saying them aloud to listen to them throughout the day.
In truth, it doesn’t matter so much what method you choose to practise your friendship affirmations. What matters most is consistency and making an active effort to tune into the energy of your words.
Try and take some time every single day to work with your friendship affirmations and during this time feel into the energy of the affirmations and visualise the outcome of having your desired friendship.
At first you may feel a little strange if your desire feels out of reach, but over time the process will become easier as you bring yourself more and more into alignment with your desire.
