The 55×5 method has gained a lot of attention recently, and for good reason. This powerful technique is known to help supercharge the manifestation process and people experience amazing results. This article explores what the 55×5 method is, the benefits, and how to use this technique.
What is the 55×5 method?
The 55×5 method is very simple. It involves writing one affirmation down in your journal 55 times for 5 consecutive days. Although it seems very straightforward, this technique is very powerful for two reasons:
- It helps rewire your mind through focused attention. As you write each affirmation, you are focusing on this and nothing else. This means that you are placing your energy on one idea which helps supercharge the affirmation. The law of attraction states that where attention goes, energy flows, so this practice helps you get into the mindset of whatever your affirmation is focused on. As you focus, you might begin to notice your energy improve. This is a really positive sign that you are rewiring limiting beliefs and clearing any blocks you might have around what you’re trying to manifest.
- It shows dedication and commitment. Writing out 55 affirmations for 5 days in a row takes time. If you do manage to complete the exercise, the chances are you’ve spent at least half an hour every day focusing on your affirmation. You have taken this time to work on yourself and improve your mindset, which is really positive. It signals that you are serious about your dreams and you are willing to take action to make them happen.
Why do I need to write the affirmation 55 times for 5 days?
The number 55 is considered to be the number of personal power, and the number 5 represents the elements within nature. The 55×5 method represents merging your personal power with the elements of nature, which is a very powerful combination. You are taking action on your part but also trusting that something greater than yourself (God/Source/the Universe) will also help your dreams materialise.
How to use the 55×5 method
Although the 55×5 method is very simple, there are a few steps you can take in order to make sure you do it effectively:
- Use a nice pen and journal that makes you feel abundant. I find that using a special journal solely for affirmations and manifestation journaling practices makes the process seem more powerful.
- Create a space that is peaceful and relaxing. You might also wish to light a candle and play some soothing music. A peaceful environment allows you to concentrate when writing your affirmations.
- Choose an affirmation that is powerful, yet concise. As you need to write the affirmation 55 times, it is best that the affirmation is short. You can read about how to write your own affirmations here. Try to make it specific to one area of your life. You can always repeat the technique with another affirmation at a later date.
- Focus on writing the affirmation and try to connect with the energy behind the words. This is the most important part. Try to maintain focus on the affirmation and encourage feels of optimism and excitement. This is where you’re actively working to rewire your subconscious mind.
Final thoughts
As with all manifestation techniques, the 55×5 method needs to be combined with taking inspired action in order for it to work effectively.
