The 369 Manifestation Method Is Super Popular — But Does It Work?

There are plenty of ways to start manifesting your desires, from making vision boards to working with the law of attraction. One method, in particular, that's been getting its fair share of attention lately is the 369 method, and it couldn't be easier to do.

The 369 method involves writing down what you'd like to manifest three times in the morning, six times during the day, and nine times in the evening.

This method rose to popularity on TikTok (naturally), with videos under the hashtag "369method" amassing over 165 million views combined. You don't have to look hard to find folks on the app claiming the technique has helped them manifest new relationships, large sums of money, and more.

It was the renowned inventor Nikola Tesla who first thought three, six, and nine were powerful numbers for manifesting in the 20th century. Spiritual adviser Diana Zalucky tells mbg that "he believed these divine numbers were the key to unlocking the universe."

Numbers aside, the 369 practice tracks with the law of attraction, which states that we tend to attract what we give our attention to.

Before getting started, you'll of course want to figure out what exactly it is you want to manifest. Once you're clear on that, it's time to come up with an affirmation. (For example, if you wanted to manifest money, your affirmation could be "I will receive a large sum of money.")

Keep in mind, this method (and any method of manifesting, for that matter) is much more likely to work if you take action, too.

If you're wondering whether the 369 method really works, so was I—which is why I had to give it a try myself. I wanted to start with something simple and positive, so I decided my affirmation would be, "I am filled with gratitude every day."

Now, I can't speak to whether this method will actually get a love interest to text you or land you a raise at work, but I can say that writing down that I was filled with gratitude did make me feel good.

After doing the 369 method for about a week, I noticed I was consistently feeling more positive and found myself noticing things I was grateful for throughout the day.
