Guided Manifestation Meditation for 2026: New Year Intention Setting

How to Manifest Your Dreams Using Meditation and Visualization

What if you could rewrite the story of your life, starting today, and actually manifest it into being?

Hello, this is Vidya, welcome back to The Tea on Wellness podcast. I’m speaking to you from our little tea and spice shop in Laguna Beach, Tea & Turmeric, where my sister, Kavita and I have been handcrafting teas and spices for years and sharing the practices that shaped our own lives.

This episode is about manifesting your dreams. Before the rhythm of daily life sweeps you into errands, emails, and obligations, let’s take a little space to pause, breathe, and set intentions for what you want create in your life.

As many of you may know or don’t know, I’ve been teaching meditation for over 25 years. I grew up in Canada, and when I was 24 I traveled to India to study Ayurveda and meditation. It was there that I was initiated into meditation by my Guruji. It wasn’t just a lesson or a technique, it was an awakening that has shaped how I live and how I teach ever since. That experience showed me we’re not just here to watch life happen. We’re here to create it. We’re here to manifest the life of our dreams.

So before we begin, find yourself a safe, comfortable spot where you can close your eyes. Don’t listen while driving or multitasking. This is your time to be fully present, cup of tea in hand, and ready to step into the life you want to create.

The SoCal Tea Ritual for Mindfulness: Sip, Rest, Release

At Tea & Turmeric, we’ve been carrying meditation kits and teas for years. They’ve become one of my favorite ways to help people deepen their practice.

We have kits like the Chakra Balancing Kit, the Self Care Kit, and the Sleep Kit. For each one, I recorded the guided meditation myself and paired it with one of my hand-blended organic teas.

We also have a line of meditation teas I created: Greatest Love, Manifest Dreams, Eternal Om, Peace of Mind, and Mindful Meditation. Each of these blends is designed to support a slightly different energy, whether you are journaling, stepping onto your yoga mat, or simply sitting down for a quiet meditation. Some are grounding, some uplifting, and all of them are meant to help you be more present.

Today for our guided meditation, I'm sharing the Manifest Dreams organic tea. If you have it, brew yourself a cup. If not, just use your favorite tea. The tea itself doesn’t need to be perfect; what matters is that you take this moment to prepare it with intention.

So shall we meditate together? Sip, rest, release, and let's manifest your dreams.

Now, let's find a comfortable position to sit in. Make sure your back is straight and your feet are flat on the floor. Pick up your tea cup and close your eyes. Take a deep breath in... and let's first give thanks for this cup of tea.

Now, slowly bring the cup to your mouth and take a sip. Let the tea linger in your mouth and relish the taste. Allow it to anchor you to this sacred, precious, present moment.

When you are ready, please place the tea cup down in front of you. Keep your eyes closed. Settle further into your chair or cushion, and get even more comfortable.

Manifestation Tools: Intentions, Specificity, and The Power of 'Why'

Let's take a deep, slow breath in, and trust that you are perfectly aligned with your highest good and deepest well-being. Your thoughts, your emotions, and your intentions are the tools that shape your reality. The universe is like clay, and you are the sculptor. But to sculpt something amazing, you have to be specific.

As I always say, specificity is key.

So, what is it that you truly want in your life for 2026? Set your intention and visualize it. Create a mental snapshot of exactly what you want to manifest. Get all five of your senses involved. What does it look like? What do you hear? What do you smell? What do you feel? The more detail you put into this mental picture, the easier it is for the universe to know exactly what you want.

Now, once you’re clear on the "what," ask yourself: "What is the why?" Why do you want this? The "why" connects your desire to your heart, and that's where the real power comes from. Let's take a few moments to sit with that. Don’t rush the answer. Let it arise from your deepest knowing.

Take the next few breaths to really picture this, as the music plays.

And here’s the secret to manifestation: you don't need to know the "how." In fact, worrying about the "how" is counterproductive. The universe has an infinite number of ways to deliver your desires, ways you can't even begin to imagine. Your job is to be clear about the "what" and the "why," and then, let the universe take care of the rest.

Now, take a few deep breaths and truly release the need to control the "how."

Future Progression Guided Visualization & Trusting The Universe

Now, with your eyes closed, let's take a quick journey into your future. I want you to visualize a staircase in front of you. With each step you take, you are moving forward in time, closer to the future you just envisioned.

Now, at the top of the staircase, I want you to open a door and step into your future self’s life, one year from now. Just for a moment, look around. Observe all the details: where are you? What are you doing? How do you feel? Feel the joy, the peace, the accomplishment as if it has already happened. Take a moment to really feel that emotion.

Now, gently bring that feeling back with you to the present moment. You have done the work. You’ve set your intention, been specific about your desires, and you’ve visualized them.

The most crucial part of the process is now: trust. Trust that your desires are on their way to you. This trust isn't blind faith; it's a deep knowing that comes from understanding how the universe operates. It’s like telling the Universe, “Dear Universe, I know you’ve got this, and I’m so ready to receive.”

You are not a mere spectator in this grand play of life; you are the director, the actor, and the audience, all rolled into one. So take charge, make conscious choices, and watch as the universe rearranges itself to manifest your dreams.

Closing Wisdom: Continuing Your Journey of Orange County Manifestation

Take a deep breath in and exhale, again inhale slowly and exhale…Now, let’s gently come back to the present. On your own time, slowly open your eyes and take a final, loving sip of your tea.

You’ve planted seeds for the life you want to create, and I can’t wait to hear how your garden grows. Remember, the journey of manifestation is a beautiful, co-creative dance between you and the universe.

As we close, I like to say, “Om shanti, shanti, shanti.” In Sanskrit, it means "peace." So let’s carry that sense of calm and peace with us into the days ahead.

Wishing you warmth, peace, and a beautiful journey as you manifest your dreams.
