How to make a wish card with your own hands
In order to make a wish card with your own hands, you will need simple tools and materials, a little time and definitely a positive attitude. It is best when no one disturbs you so that you can fully concentrate on your aspirations.
Preparation and necessary materials
What you will need to create a vision board:
- magazines with pictures (travel magazines, household appliances magazines, real estate magazines, automobile magazines, etc. – those areas that interest you);
- photographs of you, your family members and those people close to you;
- scissors;
- glue;

As the basis for a dream card, you can use a sheet of Whatman paper, cardboard, wooden, magnetic or cork boards, a folder with files into which A4 sheets with photographs pasted on them are inserted. All this is sold in any stationery store.
Determine the size of your wish card yourself, but do not make it small so that you have enough for all your dreams and goals.

Feng Shui vision board - the best way to design
To create a board, you can place wish pictures in any order, randomly. However, the most effective is the use of Chinese Feng Shui techniques in conjunction with visualization.
The map is divided into 9 sectors, each of which is different in color and has a special meaning. Each sector is a specific area of life (family, career, love, well-being, self-realization, etc.). The pictures you choose are pasted onto the sector of the board to which they belong. Place your photo in the central sector. Such a harmonious arrangement will enhance the attraction of what you want.
The table shows all the sectors, what significance they have and what color is best to highlight them:
Sector, location; color | Meaning; Images |
Central sector of the board; yellow or orange | Health zone. Paste a positive photo of yourself here, where you are in a good mood |
To the right of the central one (responsible for the direction of the world - West according to Feng Shui); white | Children, self-realization, creativity. They paste photos of babies - if they dream of children. If you already have children, paste their photos with inscriptions wishing them health and happiness. For self-realization, select photos that are associated with it in your understanding. What inspires you to be creative and express yourself |
The upper right corner of the map is southwest; pink or light brown | Love, romantic relationships, marriage. Paste a photo of happy couples, you can add romantic symbols (hearts, kisses, flowers). If you are looking for a partner, choose photos that do not show your face. It can be a silhouette of a man or a woman, side view, from the back. You shouldn’t try to visualize and attract real people who have completely different plans. |
Above the central sector is the southern sector according to Feng Shui; red | The sector of fame, fame, recognition and honor. Paste pictures that represent this for you: images of celebrities, where you can also place your photo; presentation of an award; a picture of a speaker on stage, etc. |
The upper sector on the left of the board is southeast; light green or purple | Wealth. Paste pictures of material assets: houses, cars, wads of money, jewelry. Write a specific amount of money and deadlines for achieving your goals |
To the left of the central one is east; green | Family sector. Paste photos of your family, separately or together. Pictures of your ideal family, the smiling faces of your grandparents and other relatives. The main thing is that they evoke positive emotions in you |
Bottom left corner - northeast; blue | Knowledge (learning, education) and wisdom. Pictures of textbooks, manuals, diplomas (enter your details in them), various symbols of wisdom. You can paste an image of an academic cap on the card - popular in Western countries |
Under the central sector is north according to Feng Shui; blue | Career sector. Select pictures associated with the career growth, salary and position you are striving for. You can paste logos of famous companies, images of managers at their desks, office premises. Or draw a career ladder by hand and write the desired position on each step |
Bottom right corner - northwest; gray or gold | Travel, helpers, idols. Paste pictures of cities and countries, attractions, resorts and hotels that you want to visit on the board. Photos of people who are authorities in your eyes and whose opinions and support matter to you |
Selection of pictures
It is very important not to make mistakes and choose suitable images for each sector of the map:
- Central sector: place your photo here. You should be shown alone, in positive emotions. Find a photo from a happy event: graduation, birthday or any other celebration where you are smiling and happy. The newer the photo, the better. In the same sector we glue everything related to health: you can place images of a beautiful figure, athletes, and so on.
- Sector of love and relationships. Pictures of happy couples, weddings, flowers, romantic walks. Everything that concerns you, your significant other or future personal happiness. Photos of acquaintances (husband, boyfriend, friend) cannot be pasted here.
- Children and creativity sector. Photos of the number of children you want, and everything related to creativity: hobbies, hobbies, everything you want to learn and master.
- Sector of assistants and travel. Photos of countries you dream of visiting, travel, friends, noisy companies, hikes, and so on.
- Career sector. Images of satisfied customers, graphs showing sales growth, logos of companies you dream of working for, and so on.
- Knowledge sector: courses, trainings, educational programs, photos of driver's licenses, certificates, diplomas, everything you want to learn.
- Family sector: grandparents, cats, dogs, pictures of family feasts, photos of children, relatives, husband. Everyone with whom you plan to stay and live happily.
- Wealth sector: car, jewelry, expensive things, jewelry, brands, and everything related to income and wages, you can use money.
- Glory Sector: your photo in a magazine, a blog with a large number of subscribers, presentation of prizes, certificates, awards, everything that symbolizes the calling of your merits.
Important: each sector should have approximately an equal number of pictures. Otherwise, excess potential will be created in one of the sectors, which may cause all others to suffer.

Wish card: location instructions
A treasure map of your goals and dreams should be placed in plain sight, where you spend the most time, to remind you of your aspirations as often as possible. Place your vision board near your desk or in the kitchen. An excellent option would be to place it near your bed - then, when you fall asleep and wake up, you will see the card in front of you and “program” your success every morning and evening.
At the same time, it is better to hide the dream card from prying eyes. There is no need for guests or relatives to see your innermost desires. Not all close people will accept the vision board with understanding and respect, so you shouldn’t expect support from people you don’t know well. When someone comes to visit you, put the card in a secluded place.
Important! You should not perceive the wish map as just an object for meditation. This is an action plan, a reminder of your goals, and clarification of priorities. You must think through the steps to achieve your goals, how to make them real. If you just dream and do nothing, your dreams will not come true without your efforts.
The desire visualization map works based on the law of attraction. Thanks to this powerful law of the Universe, we can shape our own lives, make them the way we want to live them. Thanks to him, we are able to attract those events, objects and people that we need.
The Law of Attraction is the magnetic force with which our beliefs and point of view attract opportunities, events and circumstances that help us realize our plans.
If we think negatively, the law of attraction works here too, attracting negative events, people and problems into our lives.
How does it work?
The essence of the wish card is that it is a frequent reminder to us of our dreams. Often in the bustle of days we get tired or distracted by daily worries and forget about our dreams. They are remembered rarely and irregularly. A self-made vision board, collected from various sources, is a powerful source of energy that is directed towards the implementation of everything planned.
After all, where our thoughts tend, our energy moves in that direction. And if these thoughts are often and regularly reinforced with visual images, the power of intention and fulfillment of desires increases many times over. That is why the map with the collage is placed in a prominent place so that you can look at it more often.
There is no magic in the operation of the vision board; how the algorithm works is easy to explain. According to psychologists, when looking at a desire map, we more often imagine our dream, the images of which are recorded in the subconscious. After which a person begins, even unconsciously, to find opportunities and take specific actions towards his goals.
The law of attraction works the same way a vision board works. We attract what we emit. If you look at the laws of Feng Shui, the Universe always reacts to the signals we send, and the more often we look at the collage, the more often we send signals. The friendly and caring Universe will certainly respond to our messages. It is on these principles that the Feng Shui vision board works.
This wonderful method is also a powerful motivator. Looking at a vision board motivates us to take actions that lead us to achieve our goals. Thus, the distance between our dreams and us shrinks much faster. The results of working with a board are much better if we are motivated and know exactly what we want to get in life.
- highlight the main goals - focus on what you really want most;
- separate the secondary things and leave aside those that are not your goals and everything that you do not need and will interfere with the realization of your desires;
- turn your dreams into one bright visual image, which underlies the realization of what you want;
- dreams and desires turn into a clear plan of action.
Thus, our brain is, in a sense, programmed to achieve what we want. But a miracle will not happen without our actions; we also need to take steps towards it.
Rules for designing a vision board
For a vision board to work best for you, you need to know how to make one correctly.
Inner Desires
Proceed only from your inner desires. Other people's dreams and aspirations will not come true in your life if they contradict what you really want. It is not enough to simply paste a picture of a beautiful house if it does not awaken any emotions in you. If your friend dreams of a car, this does not mean that you have to dream of it too.
Give yourself time to figure out your true desires. The wish map should contain pictures that evoke only positive emotions in you. When you look at them day after day, they should evoke a response in your soul, pushing you to achieve achievements from within.
Favorable days for drawing a map
For the card to work, it must be done on the right days. This:
- The first two weeks of Chinese New Year. The most favorable period.
- Any other day on the waxing moon (except for exception days).
Exception days:
- On the waning moon.
- On days of solar or lunar eclipses.
- During Mercury retrograde.
- On the days of the New Moon or Full Moon.
You can look up the exact dates on any astrological website.
Man made creation
Don't try to rush the process of creating your dream board. It is most likely easier and faster to do this on a computer, but such a collage will not carry the energy that a man-made creation has.
How does a wish card work? When you carefully select pictures, trying to feel each of them, make inscriptions and drawings, you endow your desires and your visualization card with the creative energy that is necessary to fulfill them.
Good mood
Left alone with your dreams and goals, tune in to a positive mood. You should be in a good mood when you start creating your vision board. Turn on your favorite music, light candles or an aroma lamp - do something that will allow you to completely immerse yourself in fantasy.
If you're in a bad mood, don't start creating a vision board. A negative attitude and upset feelings are not the best helpers in this.
Also, you should not draw up a dream map if you are feeling unwell or with your head occupied with thoughts of worries and problems.
Why do you need visualization of desires?
Each person uses this wonderful technique for some of their own purposes. For example, my friend Anton uses goal visualization in order to fall asleep. Yes, yes, he imagines the end result of the goal in order to sleep calmly and normally. Anton works as a manager in a trading company and gets very tired at work. It would seem that the more tired you are, the more you want to sleep. Yes, that’s how it is, Anton wants to sleep very much, but he still can’t fall asleep. This is where goal visualization comes to the rescue. He presents in every detail a picture of how he achieved his plan and, imperceptibly for himself, plunges into a very sound and healthy sleep.
However, initially visualization of desire has a different purpose - achieving a goal. That is, if you want to achieve a goal, but just can’t do it, then visualization is your ace in the hole. It gives additional strength when your hands have not only dropped, but have been dragging behind you for a long time. It can boost your self-confidence and even help you develop willpower.
Visualization of desire is your finishing flag, which can be seen from anywhere on the route. You always know where and how to run, so it will be much easier to reach the end.
Remember, write down and hang the following statement above your bed:
Fulfillment of desires - visualization of desires
Activate your vision board
You have completed the creation of the treasure map and you will need to make the final touch - activate it. One small wish will help you with this, which you can fulfill in the near future. This could be a cup of aromatic coffee, meeting a friend or going to the movies. Stick a picture of this small but pleasant goal on your wish card. Its implementation will launch the magic of the dream board.
Where to store and how to activate?
Once you've made your vision board, you need to find the best place for it. After all, your fate will depend on where your magical creation is stored. The board works best if you look at it every day. Therefore, it is important to place it so that it catches your eye as often as possible. To do this, consider first the living room, bedroom or study. For a vision board to work, it is necessary not to block its energy, but to let it flow freely and not consider places such as a closet, bathroom or hallway for storage.
To activate the vision vision board, it is recommended to perform the following ritual:
- Ventilate the room and turn off your phone and other gadgets.
- Take a shower and put on something new.
- Wear nice clothes; you should not carry out activation in your home clothes.
- Turn on relaxing, beautiful music.
- Hang the card in a place where it will hang permanently.
- Look at each wish in turn, tune in to it, imagine that it has already come true, and thank the world for its fulfillment.
- Thank the card.
Engage in visualization daily, the vision board works effectively!

The thought is material?
In school we were taught that the mental process represents a spiritual substance. You can’t touch it, you can’t perform a scientific experiment. However, if desired, our ephemeral dreams are realized into practical fruits. To do this, you need to make some effort: study well, work hard, plan for the future correctly... or just hit the jackpot.
But there is a hidden path, accessible to few. He suggests approaching the problem of fulfilling desires from a completely different angle: learning to use the power of our thoughts. To increase your motivation and finally believe that this technique works, we recommend watching the 2006 film “The Secret.” His heroes are ordinary people who managed to materialize their thoughts using the visualization method. Simply put, they have mastered the technique of attracting desired events into their lives not through specific material actions, but through mental energy.
