7 Rituals to Start Your Year with Intention
1. Cleanse Your Space
Before anything new can enter your life, you’ve got to make room for it! A good space cleansing sets the tone for a fresh start.
How to do it: Grab some sage, palo santo, or incense and smudge your home. Open doors and windows to let out the old, stale energy.
Manifestation tip: As you cleanse, say an affirmation like: “I release the past and welcome positivity, clarity, and new beginnings.”
Crystal pairing: Black tourmaline or selenite to clear and protect your space.
2. Write Your Intentions and Goals
Grab a journal, a cup of tea, and dive into your dreams for the year. Writing your goals solidifies them and makes them real.
How to do it: Write clear, specific goals using positive language (e.g., “I will grow my business” instead of “I don’t want to struggle”). Break them into categories like career, relationships, health, and self-care.
Bonus idea: Turn your goals into affirmations and repeat them daily!
Crystal pairing: Crystal quartz or citrine to amplify your focus and energy.
3. Create a Prosperity Jar or Bowl
Who doesn’t love a fun DIY project? A prosperity jar is a beautiful way to attract abundance and wealth.
How to do it: Fill a jar with coins, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, basil, and a green aventurine crystal. Place it near your front door or on a money altar.
Manifestation tip: Every time you see the jar, say: “Abundance flows freely to me.”
Crystal pairing: Pyrite for financial success and protection.
4. Take a Salt Bath or Shower
Release all that old energy and start fresh with a relaxing cleanse.
How to do it: Add Epsom salt, sea salt, or Himalayan pink salt to your bath. For extra vibes, toss in a few drops of essential oil (lavender for peace, orange for positivity). If you prefer showers, scrub with a salt-based exfoliant.
Manifestation tip: As the water washes over you, imagine negativity flowing away and say: “I cleanse myself of the past and step into my highest self.”
Crystal pairing: Amethyst for balance and rose quartz for self-love.
5. Perform the Cinnamon Blowing Ritual
You may already know this one! Cinnamon is a magnet for abundance, so why not start the year with this simple practice?
How to do it: Sprinkle ground cinnamon into your hand and blow it toward your front door. Say: “Prosperity and blessings flow freely into my home this year.”
Crystal pairing: Green aventurine or citrine to amplify wealth energy.

6. Light a Candle for Blessings
Sometimes, all you need is a little light to guide the way.
How to do it: Choose a candle color based on your intention—green for abundance, pink for love, or white for clarity. Light the candle and say a prayer, such as: “May this light bring peace, prosperity, and joy into my life this year.”
Crystal pairing: Crystal quartz to magnify the energy of your prayer.
7. Gratitude Ritual
End the year with gratitude and begin the new one on a high note.
How to do it: Write down all the things you were grateful for last year. Reflect on the lessons, blessings, and memories. Then write a gratitude list for the year ahead, saying: “I am grateful for the blessings that are already on their way to me.”
Crystal pairing: Rose quartz or green calcite to foster gratitude and heart energy.
Manifest Your Dreams with a Vision Board
A vision board is a creative, visual way to bring your goals to life. Here’s how to make one that works:
1. Gather Supplies: Get a board (corkboard or poster), magazines, scissors, glue, and markers.
2. Set Your Intentions: Divide your board into sections like health, career, relationships, and personal growth.
3. Choose Images and Words: Cut out pictures, quotes, and words that align with your goals.
4. Assemble with Love: Arrange and glue your images onto the board. Add affirmations or personal notes.
5. Place It Somewhere Visible: Hang it where you’ll see it daily, like your workspace or bedroom.
Manifestation tip: Spend a few moments each day visualizing yourself living the life on your vision board. Believe it’s already yours!
Tips for Staying Consistent All Year Long
Starting strong is easy, but consistency is where the magic happens. Here’s how to stick with your goals:
- Create a Daily Routine: Dedicate 5-10 minutes daily to review your goals, affirmations, or vision board.
- Track Your Progress: Use a journal or app to check in weekly on your progress. Celebrate small wins!
- Find an Accountability Partner: Share your goals with a friend or join a community with similar intentions.
- Practice Patience: Manifestation takes time. Trust the process and stay aligned with your vision.
- Stay Inspired: Surround yourself with uplifting books, podcasts, and people who motivate you.
Remember YOU are healthy, wealthy and wise!
The start of the year is a blank canvas—an opportunity to dream big and manifest the life you desire. By combining these fun and meaningful rituals with a vision board and a commitment to consistency, you’ll set yourself up for a year filled with abundance, growth, and joy.
