What is the Pillow Method aka Pillow Manifestation Technique?
The pillow method for manifestation (also known as the pillow method, the pillow manifestation technique, under the pillow manifestation or pillow method scripting) is an easy manifesting ritual you can do before bed.
Whether you’re a beginner at manifesting, a regular manifestor, or a manifestation expert- you can use this easy manifesting method to keep your eye-on-the-prize and get your vibration in alignment with your desires.
In summary, the pillow method requires you to write your desire on a piece of paper and sleep with it under your pillow.

How do you do The Pillow Method? Step-by-Step Instructions
Get clear on your desire
Clarity is one of the most important parts of your manifestation journey. If YOU don’t know what you want, how is the universe going to join forces with you? This can be a hard step for some, so I’ve included some resources that will help support you in finding clarity.
Some quick tips for finding clarity if you’re not quite sure what you want to manifest:
- Sit with plant medicine like Ceremonial Cacao:
If this concept is new to you, I recommend reading my postCacao Ceremony: Ultimate Guide to Awakening the Soul
To work with cacao as an aid with finding clarity, bring that intention to mind as you prepare it. While stirring your cacao, say your intentions: ex. may this cup of cacao help open me up to finding clarity on what it is I desire most.
Drink it mindfully and avoid multi-tasking while enjoying it. You don’t want to treat it like a cup of coffee.

- Meditate:
Meditation is one of the best ways to live your life with a clear mind. With a clear mind, you’re able to see clearly what it is you desire for your life and what may be standing in the way of that. If you’re new to meditation, you can start with guided meditations. I like Boho Beautiful’s morning meditations on youtube or Insight Timer app.
- Work with crystals
Clear Quartz, Citrine, and Jasper tend to be my go-to crystals for finding clarity. The clear quartz is great at absorbing any dense energy fogging you up. Citrine is great for energizing the mind and your willpower. Red Jasper helps with grounding, which is essential for feeling safe and clear-headed.
- Work with essential oils
Oils like lemongrass, wild orange, lemon or clary sage can be helpful with finding manifestation clarity and clearing the mind overall. I recommend Mountain Rose Herbs for organic, sustainable oils or Rocky Mountain Oils for affordable, great quality oils.
- Journal Daily
Journal practices like morning pages (recommended book: The Artists Way by Julia Cameron) can be really helpful in clearing the mind and delivering manifestation clarity.
2. Write your manifestation out on a piece of paper
Once you have clarity on your desire, write it down on a piece of paper. It’s even better if you can write it down in present-tense, as if it’s already happened. (this method is known as scripting, more on that below).
For example: “I am so happy that I got offered my dream job. The company has an amazing work culture, an awesome female boss, and offered me a salary higher than I expected. I am so grateful this dream came true. Thank you.”
3. Place the paper under your pillow
This step is pretty easy, simply place your paper with the written manifestation underneath your pillow right before bed.
4. Visualize your manifestation coming true
As you fall asleep, visualize all of the details of your manifestation coming true. See yourself IN your desired reality and observe all the details you can.
How do you feel when this comes true?
How are you holding yourself?
What are you wearing?
Who are you with?
The more details you can visualize, the better. Focus on feelings of gratitude as you observe the details of your vision.
*Pro-tip: drinking tea like Blue Lotus Tea can help with your ability to visualize. Shop for it on Shamans Market, here. (It can be hard to find but this is the greatest option I’ve found!)
5. Fall asleep with your manifestation being the last thing on your mind
Your subconscious mind is largely responsible for creating the reality you experience. That being said, the best time to prime your subconscious mind (and shift your reality) is right before bed and right before you wake up.
Be sure to keep your thoughts focused on your under the pillow manifestation until you fall asleep.
How many days should you do the pillow method for?
This is a good question to ask your intuition, as the manifestation journey is different for everyone.
In general, I would recommend doing at least 5 nights of the pillow method.
In numerology, 5 is the number of change and since we’re focusing on changing our reality through manifestation, this is a supportive numeric energy to lean on.
You can experiment with different time lengths and see what feels best to you.
How to Write Your Manifestation Affirmation for The Pillow Method
Write your manifestation out as if it’s already happened.
Pillow Method Affirmation Examples:
- I am so grateful that I’ve become financially abundant and money keeps flowing to me in expected and unexpected ways.
- My heart is overjoyed that I’ve found the perfect partner who loves me for who I am and inspires me to become the best version of myself there is.
- I am so grateful that I was offered my dream job.

Using Scripting to Make Your Pillow Method Manifestation Stronger
What is scripting in manifestation?
Scripting in manifestation is writing down the details of your world after you’ve already achieved your goal.
By writing your manifestation down as if it’s already happened, you are signaling to the universe that you believe it will happen and that it in fact, already has. This is a powerful way to change your reality.
To use scripting in your manifestation rituals, grab your favorite journal or paper and write down your goal as if its already happened.
How to combine scripting with the pillow method
Writing your pillow method manifestation down in scripting form is a powerful way to amplify the effects of your manifesting.
Use this paper with your scripted manifestation to place under your pillow each night that you practice the pillow method.
Pillow Method Script Example
An example of a script to use for the pillow method is:
“I am in right relationship with money and because of this, my reality has become financially abundant. I am attracting money left and right, from expected places and unexpected places- daily. I have the money to accomplish xyz and the overflow to donate to xyz. I am so grateful I don’t have to carry the burden of financial struggle anymore. My life is so abundant and my money is flowing with multiple purpose-filled income streams.”
Can the Pillow Method be used for Shifting Reality and Does it Actually Work?
Yes, in combination with other habits and techniques, the pillow method can shift your reality and actually work.
It’s important to remember that manifestation is a co-creative process. Although I do believe in magic and miracles, it is MUCH more effective to place aligned efforts into your desires.
My belief is that the size of our efforts match the size of our leverage. Meaning, the more action we take in combination with our rituals, the more likely our manifestations are going to come true.
Other Manifesting Methods that work great with the Pillow Method
Bay Leaf Manifestation:
Replace your paper with a bay leaf and utilize the energy of the bay leaf to help manifest your desire. I have a whole in-depth article about the bay leaf method, here. It can totally be used in combination with the pillow method.

How to Strengthen Your Pillow Method Manifestation
Diffuse Essential Oils:
Diffusing (pet-safe!) essential oils like clary sage, frankincense, lavender, myrrh, rosemary or peppermint while you sleep with your manifestation under your pillow is a great way to strengthen your intentions and help your manifestation come to fruition.
Shop my favorite oils at Mountain Rose Herbs here
Use Anointing Oils
Anointing oils are energetically pure oil blends that you can use to support your manifesting and strengthen your prayers/intentions.
Put a drop of anointing oil on your forehead to strengthen your manifestation intentions before you sleep.
You can also add a drop of anointing oil (or the essential oils listed above) to your paper before you place it under your pillow.
I love Resonance Apothecary‘s anointing oils on Etsy and Art of the Root on Amazon.
Play Solfeggio Frequency Music
Playing solfeggio frequency music while you sleep is a great way to strengthen your pillow method manifestation.
I recommend Meditative Mind on youtube, they have ad-free, beautiful frequency music that lasts for 8 hours plus.
Some of my favorites to play while sleeping are: 852hz Awaken Intuition and 528hz Positive Transformation
Place a Crystal Under Your Pillow
Wealth: pyrite, citrine
Success: aventurine, green jade,
Love: rose quartz, rhodochrosite, emerald

Use Graphite Pencil
Graphite pencil is a natural element that’s encoded with sacred geometry and also highly conductive. This is significant because when you choose to write with graphite, you are placing an energetic charge on the paper- this is a beautiful way to amplify your manifesting intentions.

Use Colored Ink
On the other hand, colored ink can be a good way to bring color magic into your manifestations. Using the color thats associated with what your manifesting can help to strengthen your effort.
Red: love, passion
Pink: healing, universal love and connection
Green: wealth, abundance
Orange: creativity, inspiration
Believe in Magic
If you think this is all a crock of BS, it’s likely not going to work for you.
It’s important that you believe in yourself, believe in the efforts you apply, and believe in the magic of our universe.
Believe in the power that YOU have to change your reality.
Take Aligned Action
As mentioned earlier (and in many of my manifestation articles) I believe in the power of taking action. Outline the steps it may take to get to your goal, the habits you may need to change that are blocking your manifestations, and the things you need to do to help your dream goal happen.
Do the work, reap the rewards. Do the work, strengthen your magic.
Give Gratitude
Always end your manifestation practices with an energy of gratitude. Constantly look for things to be grateful for in your life and you will be shown more abundance.

What to do with your pillow manifestation affirmation paper when you’re done?
When you feel your pillow manifestation ritual is complete, you can burn the paper and bury the ashes for a more symbolic release.
If this doesn’t call to you, there is nothing wrong with simply discarding your paper. Be sure to hold the energy of gratitude as you do so.
I hope this guide inspires you to manifest something great under your pillow! Let me know what you’re manifesting, we always love to hear from you!
