This is hands down my favorite manifesting method, which you'll understand why when I tell you about my first experience with it.
First let me explain what it is:
A pray rain journal is kept for the purpose of bringing your dream to reality. Its power is in aligning your vibration with that which you want, and is accomplished by putting pen to paper about your dream as if you were already living it.
It's named after a short story told by author Greg Braden about accompanying a tribal shaman on a rain dance. He expects a big production involving music, ritual, costumes and dance, but instead witnesses something very different.
The shaman walks to an area marked with stones and slowly walks the inside perimeter of the stone circle with his eyes closed. No sounds, no costumes, no dancing. After a short time, the shaman is finished and ready to return home.
Greg is surprised at what he witnessed and says to the shaman "I thought you were going to pray for rain." The shaman says "not pray FOR rain, but PRAY RAIN."
He explains he "prayed rain" by feeling the rain falling on his skin, feeling it collecting under his toes, smelling the freshness of it, tasting it on his tongue, hearing the raindrops land, etc. He "prayed rain."
That is what you do with your pray rain journal. You write a page a day about this dream of yours as if you were already living it. Write in the present tense, and provide the sorts of details that feel good to think about and write about. In doing so, you'll achieve vibrational alignment with your dream.
Abraham says that by the time you get to the end of your journal, you'll either have achieved your goal or it will be so close you can reach out and touch it.
I practiced this for the first time when I was in the corporate world and had just left a staff meeting where we were told our jobs were in jeopardy if we didn't turn our numbers around fast. Actually, I want to do this story justice, so I'll save it for a separate post.
In the meantime, keep an eye out for a fun new journal you could use for this process, if you don't already have one!
