Most of the rituals I perform on behalf of my clients require a petition paper. And since I explain at least once a day how I prefer them to be written, I decided to write an article that would serve as a reference for my clients and others who might be seeking guidance in that area. 

When I think of Petition Papers, I think of love notes from the future. A future where whatever I desire has already taken place. 

I teach my clients to take a few minutes (and a few deep breaths) and imagine a future they desire. Take enough time to fully see it in color, with sound, and with gusto. 

And most importantly, with utmost certainty!

Then, when you are in that fertile space, take your favorite pen and physically write down what you’ve envisioned. If you can visualize it, it’s just a matter of time till we manifest it onto this plane, actualizing your wish in the here and now. 

So here are a few practical guidelines for the petition: 

1. Imagine you are writing a note from the future. It’s the happiest future possible, where all your wishes and dreams came through already. Everything has actualized. 
2. Write your petition in present tense, I.e. I am healthy, loved, cared for, etc. 
3. Make it about yourself, and don’t write more than a paragraph.

For example, instead of writing, “Please let so and so hire me for a job and give me a decent pay,” write “JW Smith Inc. hired me as their HR representative, and I am making $70,000 a year with a full benefits package.” The more specific the better!

Furthermore, maybe in your vision there was a brown desk, or an office with a view, or a hunky office assistant named Joey who answers your calls and pencils in your appointments. Include these too: “JW Smith Inc. hired me as their head HR manager, and I am making $100,000 annually, and have a full benefits and severance package. I love my office with a large brown desk, huge windows overlooking the bay, and my assistant Joey is both efficient and handsome.”

The more specific you can be in your details, the higher the chances of you getting exactly that. Simple, right?

What’s not so simple — and in fact, the biggest obstacle in any magical working — is folks’ resistance to allowing themselves to dream. But hey, if YOU don’t have faith in your dream, who will?

I hope you’re getting my drift. Just imagine that your petition is a love letter from the future. You are letting me know that what we’ve conjured up has come to pass, and now is a solid and magnificent reality for you.
