- By writing a love letter to yourself, from the perspective of someone else, you can project new assumptions and beliefs that influence how that person interacts with you.
Let’s dive into the method, its principles, and how you can start using it today.
What Is The Love Letter Method (And Why It Actually Works)
The Love Letter Method is a manifestation technique that involves writing a letter to yourself from the perspective of someone else, typically someone you wish to think or act differently toward you.
The Love Letter Method is based on two powerful principles:
- Neville Goddard’s philosophy of “Everyone is You Pushed Out“ – People reflect back what you believe about yourself (mind-bending, right?)
- Hermetic Principle “As Within, So Without“ – Based on hermetic teachings, your external reality mirrors your internal beliefs.
By writing love letters you’re shifting your internal assumptions.
When you write from the perspective of someone else expressing love and appreciation for you, you start to believe in the reality of those positive emotions.
This shift in energy manifests changes in their behavior towards you.

Now that we understand the philosophy behind the Love Letter Method, it’s time to dive into the practical steps and explore how you can apply this technique to manifest changes in your relationships.
Whether you’re trying to heal a relationship, attract a new connection, or shift the way someone thinks about you, the Love Letter Method can be a powerful tool when used consistently.
How to Use the Love Letter Method
Let’s get real for a second. If your love letter sounds like a desperate teen’s diary entry, you’re doing it wrong. (Trust me, I’ve seen enough of those in my coaching practice to write a book titled “What Not to Manifest.”)
Wrong Way
“Dear [specific person’s name], I really wish you would notice me. I hope someday you’ll see how much I care about you…“
Right Way
“[Your name], I can’t help but smile every time I think about you. Your confidence and authenticity are magnetic. The way you carry yourself with such grace makes me feel proud to be in your life. I love how our connection grows stronger each day…“
By writing in their voice, you shift your inner assumptions and beliefs about how they perceive you. This changes the energy you project, which in turn influences their actual thoughts and behavior.
Here’s what most manifestation teachers won’t tell you:
The success of the Love Letter Method isn’t in the writing – it’s in the embodiment. This is where the magic happens!
How to Use the Love Letter Manifestation Method: Step-by-Step Guide
Here’s a simple breakdown of how to start using the Love Letter Method to change your reality:
Step 1: Choose the Person
Identify who you want to think or feel differently about you. This could be a romantic partner, friend, family member, or colleague.
Step 2: Write from Their Perspective
Begin your letter as if the person is speaking to you directly. Write as though they are telling you how much they love, appreciate, and respect you. For example:
“I can’t stop thinking about how much you mean to me. You’ve brought so much joy and positivity into my life, and I’m grateful for everything you do.”
Focus on positive, loving language, and include specific qualities you wish they would acknowledge in you.
Step 3: Focus on Your Emotions
While writing, feel the emotions of love and gratitude as though the letter is real. This emotional connection is critical because it helps shift your internal beliefs. The more vividly you can imagine the person saying these things to you, the more powerful the manifestation will be.
Step 4: Re-read the Letter
After writing, take time to re-read the letter. Allow yourself to absorb the positive emotions and new beliefs you’ve created. The key is to feel like the person truly sees you in this new light.
Step 5: Practice
Like with any manifestation practice, it’s important to practice. The ultimate goal is to use the letters as training wheels until living in the state of the wish fulfilled becomes natural. Re-write the letter frequently, especially if you feel doubts creeping in. Over time, your assumptions will solidify, and you’ll notice changes in how the person behaves toward you.
Practical Applications: When to Use the Love Letter Method
The Love Letter Manifestation Method can be used in a variety of scenarios where you want to improve or change a relationship dynamic. For example:
Healing a Relationship
If you’ve experienced conflict or distance in a relationship, you can use this method to manifest healing. Write as though the person is expressing forgiveness, love, and a desire to reconnect.
Attracting a New Partner
If you’re seeking a romantic connection, write from the perspective of your ideal partner, expressing love and admiration for you. This helps align your internal beliefs with the love you’re looking to manifest.
Improving Friendships or Family Bonds
Use the Love Letter Method to strengthen bonds with friends or family members. Write as though they are appreciating your efforts and expressing gratitude for the connection.
Shifting Workplace Dynamics
If you’re struggling with how a colleague or boss perceives you, write a letter as if they are recognizing your contributions and respecting your work. Shifting your internal beliefs will reflect in how they treat you in real life.

The True Power of Writing Love Letters: A Timeless Success Story
Let me share an inspiring story that perfectly illustrates why this method is so powerful – and it’s not just about manifesting romance.
This story comes from one of Neville Goddard’s lectures:
There was a woman in New York who had been estranged from her son and daughter-in-law for two years following a heated argument. Despite sending numerous gifts to her grandson, none were ever acknowledged. The silence was deafening.
But here’s where it gets interesting.
One night, instead of stewing in her pain (like most of us do), she decided to write herself two letters:
- One from her daughter-in-law, expressing warmth and inviting her to visit
- Another from her grandson, expressing love and gratitude for his birthday presents
For seven nights, she read these letters mentally before sleep, feeling the joy of being reconnected with her family.
Here’s the mind-bending part:
On the morning of the eighth day, she received actual letters from both her daughter-in-law and grandson – identical in sentiment to what she had written.

Here are 5 health-boosting benefits of writing love letters:
Benefit (Source) | Study Results |
---|---|
May lower cholesterol levels | Studies found that college students who wrote affectionate letters to loved ones for just 20 minutes on three occasions experienced a significant reduction in total cholesterol over a 5-week period. |
Could improve sleep quality | A study of more than 200 people found that those who felt more gratitude experienced better and longer sleep, as well as less daytime dysfunction. |

Most people find significant shifts within 21-30 days of consistent practice, though some experience changes sooner. Remember that this isn’t about rushing to a destination. You need to allow your negative beliefs to transform naturally as you continue the practice.
The Love Letter Method: Troubleshooting Your Manifestation
If you’re not seeing results, here’s your reality check:
Your Self-Concept Is Still In The Dumps
Remember: People treat you how you treat yourself. If your inner dialogue sounds like a mean girl from a teen movie, that’s your first problem.
You’re Not Actually Embodying The Change
“But I’m saying all the right things!” Yeah, and I say I’m going to start meal prepping every Sunday. Actions > Words.You’re Still Stuck in The ‘Old Story’
If you’re still telling everyone about your terrible dating history, guess what you’re manifesting? More terrible dating history. It’s time to fix these limiting beliefs.
Mixing the Love Letter Method and Other Techniques for the Best Results
To boost the effectiveness of the Love Letter Manifestation Method, you can mix it with other manifestation tools. Here are 4 techniques to complement your love letter writing:
Visualization
After writing the letter, take a few moments to visualize the person acting and feeling in alignment with the words you’ve written. See them treating you with love, respect, and admiration.
Affirmations
Pair the Love Letter Method with affirmations that support your new beliefs. For example: “I am loved and appreciated by those around me.” Repeating these affirmations helps reinforce your new assumptions.
Meditation
Practice mindfulness or meditation before writing your letter to calm your mind and focus on your desired outcome. This can help you tap into the emotions needed for effective manifestation. Check out my free Abundance Meditation here.
Journaling
Before you start writing your love letter, try journaling about things you’re grateful for. This is a great way to warm up and spark up creativity.

The Love Letter Method: The Bottom Line (And Why This Actually Matters)
Now, I know what you’re thinking:
“But Bree, I don’t want to write my own love letters! I want them to come naturally from the other person!“
Here’s the truth – and I’m saying this with love:
The Love Letter Method isn’t about the letters at all. It’s about who you become in the process of writing them.
As one of my clients put it: “I started writing love letters to manifest my perfect relationship, but ended up falling in love with myself instead. Plot twist: That’s when he showed up.”
Everything you experience externally is a reflection of your internal state. The letter isn’t the point – it’s just a tool to help you embody the feeling of already having what you desire.
When you can genuinely feel the joy, love, and appreciation as if it’s already yours, that’s when the magic happens.
