We’ve manifested our dream home twice in the last few years.
Three years ago, we moved into a gorgeous victorian 3-bedroom home a few blocks away from the beach, even though my husband and I were both UNEMPLOYED at that time. And we had 11 month-old twins.
The whole unfolding was so magical that I showed myself once again how waters will part when the desire is clear and strong (and there is no resistance).
It seemed like the perfect people and circumstances showed up at the perfect time to make it a reality.
It was a HUGE leap of faith to take on (what seemed like) high rent while in debt, but we both clearly knew that if it felt right, it was right.
Within a few weeks my husband got a new job, within 4 months I started seeing an income and we’ve never looked back.
So when we became ready for a more spacious and more luxurious home, we followed the same process of inviting the perfect home to flow into our lives.
In this video, I will share with you:
- Why it is so important to dream big and why most people are afraid of it
- How you can ‘preview’ your future home and enjoy each day until you arrive at your ideal house
- Why you may not always know what you want and how that is a good thing
- Practices that will help you manifest your dream home
One thing I want to tell you before you watch this video that it doesn’t matter where you are now. You can be living in the home of your dreams (and sooner than you think).
I was not always living in luxury. I grew up in Russia in one room (no kitchen or bathroom, just a dorm-style room) with my parents and my brother until I was 9.
So when I say this house is crazy to me, by crazy I mean that no one in my family or my husband’s family has ever lived in a home that is even close to the size, luxury and price of this mini-mansion.
Saying YES to this home was a big deal for us.
So don’t let where you’ve come from or where you are now prevent you from dreaming big and taking inspired action to manifesting what you truly desire!
Now I’d love to hear from you:
What is the vision of your ideal home and which one of the three steps is the hardest for you and why? And if you love where you live, I’d also love to hear what you did to manifested your dream home!
And please remember to share this post with anyone who is looking to attract their perfect living space!
UPDATE:
Two years after I released this video we manifested yet another stunning home!
I decided to create a program that shows the exact processes I used to manifest all these dream houses!
Check out the Manifest Your Dream Home Masterclass for a video tour of the latest mini-mansion and to learn more how you can get the keys for your dream home!
Thank you for sharing your process! It is inspiring and much needed:)
You’re so welcome, Alexis! Happy house manifesting!
I’m stuck! I know our words matter but really like things are coming in attracting but then once it comes like this home I really see potential in and it’s for rent of 2500 first of all who’s paying that type of money for a home to rent, you could buy or get a brand new built home how u like and be paying not even in the thousands just depending on area and what type of home u desire, I’m not looking for a mansion but a family home me and my family can enjoy so this is real like the home I see but our income with all that we buy or desire to do will not afford the rent of that much so how can I get that type of income or be receiving it each month to pay for it? I know u are probably reading this like I have blocks up, but I’m just being real in reality u have to qualify and the man asks for income verification of things so how can I just got about where this house can be just given to me or work out the way that I desire like a price I CAN afford or rent to own or something that paying and not wasting any money how can I work it out in my favor that’s what I’m saying, I meet with the guy wendsday and trying to see how I can go about it working out in my favor
Awesome video, I love your energy. I began to envision my home about eight years ago when I listened to my first Law of Attraction audio book (Abraham) and listened a little bit each day for years. I have my “perfect house” embedded in my mind. The visualizing piece comes easy for me. I think about it often. I am still renting a small apartment and I beleive I get stuck because I get focused on what I don’t like about where I am. Although it has been eight years of visualizing without results, I still hold on to the faith that some day I will manifest the home that lives in my mind. I study A Course In Miracles daily and it helps to remind me that I need to be grateful for what I have before I can move forward. Trusting the Universe (faith) is the most powerful tool I have and it’s so important to be reminded that things will work themselves out, and we don’t have to worry about the “how” part of it. Thanks for that reminder! And congratulations on your luxury home, it is beautidul! xoxo
The how works out in such crazy ways, Laurel! For example, we had a budget for our house in mind and this house is about $800 more than we can comfortably afford. But the thing that I realized as soon as I walked into this ‘mansion’ is that half of the upstairs would be the perfect space for a yoga + workshop space so I told my husband that within two months of moving in, I’ll make sure to hold enough classes to make up for that difference.
It will only take one class a week for 8 people (at $25) for me to make up that difference! So I am certain that when you find your perfect home the how will appear for you too, as long as you keep trusting that it’s possible and it’s on it’s way and you take the inspired actions to allow it into your life!
Hi Lana,
We want to manifest a new home that is light, bright, and spacious. We want there to be room to have friends over for dinners as we love to entertain. We want a back garden with deck that we can enjoy in the sprint and summer and we want a house that is warm in the winter. Obviously with two school aged boys we want to be in a great school district. Ideally we would have an ocean view, but as long as we are close to the beach we’ll be fine. I know in the past we have manifested two amazing homes ourselves and I know we can do it again.
But, I love how you broke it all down, as it reminds me what we did. Thanks for this great video and I look forward to future ones. All the Best. Brigid
Of course you can (you did!) and you will again, Brigid! I will hold that vision for you!!
Great energy! The letting go part is critical!
Hey, Lana! Great job on this video. LOVE it! Our housing situation is kind of complicated. We just sold our house in September and moved into a new house we had been building. This is not our dream home, however. We want to sell this house this spring and build our dream home on some land we own. I envision lots of space, with a cozy feel, a small barn with our horse, donkey, etc. 🙂 My husband is hesitant to move so quickly – he resists dreaming big. Whereas I’m a HUGE dreamer. What do you suggest in this situation where we can’t really forget the details – we need to plan our the “whens.” Also, how can I get my husband more on board with the “dreaming” part of life and just have faith that everything will work out? 🙂
Lots of love,
Steph
Stephanie, I have two suggestions for you:
1) Keep dreaming and enticing your husband with your visions. That’s why I did with my husband and now he dreams even bigger than me!
2) You can’t figure out the when. Even if you try to estimate, things could always come up that are unexpected (building will take longer, the house won’t sell as quickly or sell on the first day, etc.). So I like to have an idea of what I want and how I want to feel (for example, maybe you would like to easily and effortlessly finish this home, enjoy each day there, sell it at the perfect time and have another home come up when you are ready and joyously move into it), and I let go of the details and timing (and trust it to the Universal manager). Works every time!
Hope these two suggestions are helpful to you and can’t wait to see photos of your dream home when you move in (please promise to share them)!
Thanks so much, Lana! I will keep envisioning and definitely post photos when we get there! 🙂
Lana I love how you mentioned that you and your husband went to hotels to Receive inspiration for your home dream. I just spent New Years with my sweetie in a luxurious hotel in the mountains and realized how I desire that beautiful artful luxurious environment to be a daily setting for my life. I dream of a home that is spacious, natural, Eco features inside and outside blending ~ curved lines, flow, earthy, wood, stone., big crystals, fireplaces, Windows light stargazing, cozy textures, pleasing to the touch, hot tub under the stars, fairy lights at night in an enchanted garden, lap pool, outdoor fireplace, creek running through or ocean nearby, trees, heated floors, outdoor shower, bathtub made of stone. This is fun! Thank you Lana!
How good did it feel to describe that Jennifer? I felt like you took me there! And how smart of you to stay in places that feel that way! Sometimes my visions are so good, I almost don’t want them to manifest soon because I’m enjoying the vision of it so much! That’s when I am usually most receptive for the manifestations to flow in!
Haha you exactly expressed what I feel! When I read it again I feel such pleasure and enchantment Ike it already is here now 🙂 delish thank you lovely Lana!
LANA! Love this video, and love these steps! To answer your question, I’m not sure what my vision is for my home, I have never thought of it before but you have prompted me to! THANK YOU 🙂 BIG HUGS and CONGRATULATIONS on your new, gorgeous home!
Glad to hear that now you’ll be dreaming up your ideal living space, Alex! And you have such an amazing design eye, I’m sure it will be gorgeous!
My dream home is in Jamaica. My soul’s home is there also. So for me, my challenges lie in feeling guilt around uprooting my children, letting my business go that Ive grown for 15 years, and letting go of control and stepping into my calling and purpose.
In my experience, when we follow the calling of our soul and take inspired action, it not only benefits us, but also everyone around us. Hope you following your inspiration wherever that takes you and your family, Kelly!
Hi Lana,
awesome video! I am in Europe and lived in small places plus I’ve been to Russia and China with shared kitchen and bathroom so I can understand how you feel in this huge mansion. Houses are so big in the U.S. it’s the American Dream!!
This video is soooo timely because we’ve just begun this process for our home. We want to move to a more spacious home, independent (not shared with neighbours), with a large kitchen, an office for me, a space for my husband to enjoy listening to music, larger windows so the sun and light can come in. We’ve worked on step 1 and it took some time because we had to overcome the negative energies from how we grew up, the family, etc. We already live in a house that’s much bigger than where our family and friends live, so wishing for even bigger does bring up some guilt and other stuff.
Now we visualize ourselves in our new home. That’s the easiest part for me, I have good imagination. I do “as if” I were already there. I see my small kitchen being very big, and even when I bump into the kids or hubbie, I feel the kitchen being so spacious and I feel good. I also look at home pictures online and in magazines (no open house visits here).
I struggle quite a bit with step 3. Letting go of the how (how are we gonna pay for this, what if we have to change school and kids lose their friends, what if we find a home but my husband has a 60 min commute instead of 25 min, etc.) and of control: we have to take action to make it happen but what is the limit between taking inspired action and being too prescriptive and being a control freak?
Thanks Lana. Your mansion looks great!
Anne
It’s totally the American dream, Anne, given where I’ve come from! Step 3 was also the hardest for me because I kept wanting to have all these questions answered about all the logistics, details and timing. What really helped me was remember my birth story (you can read it here https://www.lanashlafer.com/twin-homebirth-33hours/) and how much I learned about the power of focusing on the vision and letting go of the how.
In my experience, inspired action feels like wild horses can’t keep me from something (like when I saw this house on the market, I fell in love with the photos so much that even though it seemed way to big for us and not at all in the areas we have been looking, that I HAD to go see it).
I now follow the wisdom that if it’s not a resounding YES, it’s a NO, at least for now. Hopefully that helps you identify true inspired action that comes from pure inspiration and not wanting to manage the how.
Thank you so much for this inspiring video Lana!!!
I manifested what used to be my dream home with the same process you offered, it was amazing!!!
Now I have a bigger dream, naturally; -)
I know what I want my new dream home to be like:
I want a 5 bedroom, very luxurious, very spacious home,
with a magical, green, huge backyard,
And I want it to be located in a quiet area,
where I can see lots of trees and green aroud me,
And I want it to be close to coffee shops, supermarket and everything else that I need..
For me, living in this house feels
luxurious, spacious, peaceful, free, joy, calm, empowering,
And so much more!!!!
I’m enjoying visioning it and playing ‘wouldn’t it be fun…’,
sometime I find myself overthinking the details as to how it’ll happen,
And then I remind myself that it’s non of my business and that the universe will take care of the small details….
enjoyed sharing my vision with you!!! I’ll let you know when it happens:-)
Love it Mor!
For more of adulthood, I lived in smaller cozy spaces. My last apartment had a bed “nook” that fit a queen sized bed and nothing else! It was what I needed at the time- I felt safer living in smaller spaces and well, I was feeling pretty small in those days.
I’m now in a lovely 3 bedroom house that my husband bought before we met. He’s allowed me to make it our house (I love to decorate) and we have a massive yard for the city (our lot is a double lot). That said, I am moving into a place where it’s time to expand.
My dream home is spacious with beautiful design, within walking distance from restaurants, coffee, and shopping.
The living areas are all open concept: The more formal living space, a casual TV space, and the dining area are open and spacious. Floor to ceiling windows and the high ceilings give an airiness to the space.
Overlooking the living spaces is the kitchen. The kitchen is an inspiring place to cook and is designed with organization at its core. Built with quality in mind, the appliances are all elite-level, and the countertops are a beautiful yet durable stone.
The five bedrooms give us space for our family and guests. My office is spacious, with built-in bookshelves, and is dedicated solely for my business (no more sharing with my husband!). My husband has a space to call his own as well.
We have a sun porch that was made for drinking morning tea (and writing morning pages). Our yard is perfect for a garden with sitting area for reading and creative flow.
The 2-car garage allows us both to park our cars covered in the winter months (this is huge in Minnesota!).
The biggest challenge is allowing this to manifest, allowing myself to step into this expanded life. The desire to be in control often leads me to living much smaller than my soul intended. I also want to make sure that I practice gratitude for what I currently have, while still opening myself to expansion.
Congratulations on your home and thanks for sharing!
LOVE IT, KAT!
Hi Lana,
I LOVE this! Thanks for sharing. My husband & I set the intention to manifest our dream home this year. One of the the blocks that are coming up is the price tag;). In the town where we want our home for a new construction or fully renovated home comes with a lofty price tag as well.
I have been following your steps. The feeling & envisioning is there, but I’m noticing the price is what comes up for both of us. Did you experience this? How to move past that when you know its not exactly in your current budget? I’m saying the money for it will come but would love your feedback 🙂
Yes, the price was a huge deterrent for us. And not just with this house (at first), but with many things in our lives. The truth is that where there is a will, there is a way.
For example, this house is over our budget by $800/mo. So when we called the realtor to see it, I doubted we’d actually move in. I just wanted to see it. But when we saw the upstairs and how much space it had, I had this inspired idea to go back to holding yoga classes and workshops at my home. If I teach one class a week to 8 people at $25/2-hour yoga plus (my special magical blend) class, then I will receive 4*25*8=$1000/mo from just 2 hours of my time a week.
When we allow ourselves to want what we want, the way will always appear. At least that’s been my experience! I will hold a vision of your dream home entering your life in creative and magical ways, Barb!
Hi Lana,
For me, it’s that I think that I ‘should’ be better established before I get my dream home. (Or at least a house I am happy with). That I need to get more successful in my business or finances before I will deserve it, and the universe will give it to me. That I need to prove myself or show my deservingness to the universe before it will reveal it to me or let me have it. Like a disapproving parent or something.
What I want is a Gorgeous little cottage in the foothills, large enough to start a family, with my own art studio, music recording studio that can be sound proofed, and a fairly large outdoor rumpus room to teach public Yoga classes from.
I’d also love a Rose Garden with a magical fairy like energy to it.
My house feels open, spacious, Easy, like Alignment & Heart Elation. It feels like Clarity, & Peace & Expansion & my real height.
Thank you for this article.
Emma
HI~ I lost everything. My home was my castle and got a lot of comfort, security, and loved my home. Its been a very hard 10 years. I do and know all about manifesting. Wild stories although grateful It doesn’t change or fix what all happened. I now need a home so very badly. I like spacious, bright, open, high ceilings, a safe place and would like a pool and facing west. I hope for writing here the universe will hear my request and start this in motion. You are fortunate with your health, home and husband.
I just loved the video. It has given new vision to my dream of new house. I want a spacious pent house with 2 floors, a garden area, open sky, positive vibes, where love grows. A house where sun wishes good morning in the whole house. I am sure soon I am going to get that house. Thank you so much.
Love your vision Khushi!
I manifested my dream condo back in January of this year, but hesitated for a few days out of fear as I am a first-time buyer and is the first time I have money to buy a place. It had just about everything I wanted, but as I said out of fear I hesitated and lost out on it. I have been so depressed, sad and angry at myself for waiting. It’s been a real struggle since then with depression. I have been working for six months or more for a place and everything I see is terrible or not as nice, definitely not as nice and they want more money. Needless to say I am very sad about the whole situation. Now I fantasize about the people who bought it not wanting it anymore or making an offer to them so they sell it to me. I know the whole thing is pretty silly, but I feel desperate and I cannot get out of this depression over this place. I am single and now in my 50s, so I don’t have a whole lot of time left and would so like to have my own place.
Hi Lana,
Great Video. Thank you.
For me at this time it is a feeling in my gut that keeps pulling me down from wanting to move forward (like a self sabotage).
If I fully believe in my worthiness and felt Clear:
My new home feels like:
Airy, spacious Clarity, Freedom, Worth, Healing, Health, just deep deep worthiness.
Clean, clear, light, floorboards, openness, freedom, a feeling of like, I cannot believe I get to live here. Like expansion, like breaking through walls, like effortlessness, like deep deep peace, and relief.
Beautiful self-awareness Emma! Sounds like a great opportunity to uplevel and integrate this worthiness as your new reality! I highly recommend my programs for that! 😉
Your house is BEAUTIFUL! It reminds me of various huge family vacation homes that my family rented in the Outer Banks. Sparks so many good memories! I have been creating a beautiful house comparable to yours in my escrow. I want it in the Los Angeles area (the valley, Hollywood hills, Brentwood, etc). Having a nice yard/balcony like yours to enjoy coffee every morning is something I’m very much looking forward to. I want to pick Meyer lemons off my own tree. Your kitchen is to die for and the list goes on and on! So much inspiration from yours videos/pictures that I can feel myself living in my dream place already. Thanks Lana!!!
My dream house would be small/ medium home, in Bloomfield Hills Michigan, next to a lake and trees,also want a balcony or a porch facing the lake so I can have breakfast there every Saturday, I want to the sun to set facing the lake so I can watch that spectacular sunset and it’s reflection on the lake. I like neighbors so neighbors are good, i want my kitchen to be big, and average living room with a built in fireplace, I want a room where it’s ALL GLASS facing the lake, that would be my meditation/yoga room, my bedroom better have a walk in closet where it’s big and spacious that I am able to put a theme on each side of the closet,such as fall clothes would have their own section, I would paint that room with colors like orange, brown, yellowish reddish, and summer clothes would be colored with like blue, sky bluish, Mint green, etc…..
I want 3-4 bedrooms MAX, 3 full bathrooms one with a jucuzi, it would be nice to live next to Starbucks and live next to a trail that I can run on every morning, my home theme would be homey, everything comfortable.
The hardest part for me is to let this goooo lol I’m scared that just like what happened to you, u never got your exact vision and I’m like no,no, I’m the creator here, like why not manifest it in the school district you want? What’s the limiting factor here? I’m kind of wrestling with the universe about this issue maybe becuase I like things the way exactly the way I want it to be. I do however have this app called Zillow where I search houses within the district I want to live in and favorite the houses I want to live in and let me tell you they’re like $200,000-$1,000,000 +I don’t see anything limiting becuase I enjoy it, I enjoy it becuase there are beautiful houses out there
Thank you Lana for this post. Probably the biggest hurdle for me is letting go of resistance and the ‘how’. I can also lack clarity on what specifically I’m looking for as I could be happy in numerous homes in different locations. How do you choose what’s right?
Love it Lana! This is awsome I want to know more about this now 🙂 currently I’m working with Vienda Maria from viendamaria.com on the release of the new version of her e-course “Manifest More”. I think you two should get to know each other 🙂 Master Manifestors 🙂
Hi. I found my “Dream house” but it is quite a ways out of our budget. Is it still possible to manifest it? I doubt we could qualify for a loan for it even with a sizeable down payment. Thanks!
Thanks for your video! I’ve been trying to manifest my dream home for years and everytime I find it something does not follow through. I know what i want but again recently the dream house sold so quickly to another family. I must admit my am current space has served me well but I have been really toxically unhappy here. What am I doing incorrectly ??? I’ve know my husbands apprehensiveness may be an issue here and I’ve discussed this thoroughly. Any other tips here ?!?! Thx!
