Yes, you can create positive change and achieve dreams! The 369 method is a manifestation technique that recently rose to stardom, capturing millions of views on TikTok. It offers a structured approach to turning desires into reality and is incredibly easy to do.
The 369 method requires writing or saying specific affirmations 18 times a day: three times in the morning, six times in the afternoon, and nine times in the evening for 21 days, explains verywell mind. Using the power of intention and focused repetition, the 369 method serves as a bridge between wishing and achieving. Repetition helps develop a positive attitude and also keeps you focused on achieving your goals.
While manifestation may seem like a modern trend, it has roots dating back to Ancient Greece, according to Women'sHealth. “What we call manifestation now, ten years ago we called the law of attraction. Twenty years ago, we called it witchcraft and people got uncomfortable. And 30 years ago, we called it prayer,” psychic Inbaal Honigman told Women’s Health Magazine.
The power of numerology
Aside from its use of repetition and positivity, the method's effectiveness also lies in its connection to numerology, according to Hindustan Times, with each number having significance. The number three symbolizes our connection to the universe and creative expression; six represents inner strength and harmony; and nine signifies inner rebirth and transformation, letting go of what no longer serves us.
Trying it out
When starting the 369 method, Verywell Mind recommends first identifying a clear, specific goal and creating an affirmation that assumes you have already achieved it. For example, instead of saying “I want to be fit and strong,” write or say “I am fit and strong” in the present tense.
Here are inspiring sample affirmations offered by Women'sHealth to get you started:
I have a loving partner who accepts all parts of me and is emotionally available.
I am a thriving member of my vibrant community of friends.
I feel respected and admired in my workplace.
I travel the world freely without worrying about money.
The power of repetition and clarity
This method is more successful than other manifestation techniques because the 18 repetitions of a goal translates into time and focus, author Michelle Arbeau explained to Parade. “More focus equals more energy injected into those intentions, which is why they tend to manifest more quickly when you're practicing the 369 method," said Arbeau.
Clarity is also extremely important for achieving goals as the universe does not favor doubt. "Clarity is essential before you can even begin to activate the manifestation process, because doubt injected into the process is basically equal to an epic fail," explained Arbeau. An intention that is unclear may bring confusing results.
The effectiveness of positive affirmations is not just anecdotal; it has scientific backing. A study published in Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience found neural activity connected to self-affirmation in various parts of the brain. Positive affirmations affirm self- worth, make people reflect on core values, and also reduce negative emotions.
Enhancing the practice
To make the practice more engaging, Parade suggests being creative. Instead of pen and paper to write down affirmations, Arbeau recommends using a large sketch pad with colorful, bold markers and adding drawings next to written affirmations. This transforms the practice into a kind of vision board. Such a creative approach may also encourage enthusiasm and focus throughout the 21-day period.
When saying or writing the affirmations, think about your energy, recommends Women’sHealth. “You want to be in an energy of surrender around your manifestation. If you feel needy or attached, this practice will just enhance the feeling of lack within you and make it feel pushed and forced,:” manifestation coach Juliette Kristine Conner told Women’sHealth. Being in a state of surrender may help amplify positive intentions and allow the manifestation process to unfold naturally.
Combining ancient wisdom with modern practicality, the 369 method is easy and accessible. Be it personal growth, professional success, or improved relationships, this technique offers a framework for discovering intentions and working toward a desired outcome. Be specific, patient, and positive, then watch your dreams come true!
