Introduction
The practice of manifesting your dreams involves focusing your thoughts, intentions, and energy on specific goals you want to achieve. A powerful way to enhance this practice is by creating a vision board altar. This sacred space combines the visual representation of a vision board with the spiritual and harmonious principles of Feng Shui, creating a dynamic and intentional environment for goal-setting and visualization.
What is a Vision Board Altar?
A vision board altar is a dedicated space where you display your vision board along with meaningful objects and Feng Shui elements that support your intentions. It serves as a daily reminder of your goals and provides a serene environment for reflection and meditation.

Clearly define your goals and aspirations. Be specific about what you want to manifest. This clarity will guide you in selecting the items and images for your vision board altar.
