Manifesting Altar

Connect with the energy of the elements: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air to align your manifestations with Mother Nature’s frequency. We are all a part of the earth and we all carry the elements within us. Aligning with our internal elements means aligning with the magic within.

Candles represent all elements

  • Solid form = earth
  • Ignite the wick = fire
  • Smoke = air
  • Liquid form = water

The color of a candle can align with a particular intention, but it doesn’t necessarily have to. What is most important is the intention that you are releasing as you light your candle. Keep in mind that these are tools, but your power is always within you.

  • Dark Blue: Enhance psychic abilities, prosperity, and deeper spiritual connection.
  • Red: Passion, Unconditional love, Self-love, and cultivates partnerships.
  • Yellow: Joy, Happiness, Inner child connection, and healing.
  • Black: Protection, banishes negative energy, breaks hexes and mal ojo.
  • White: Purifies and amplifies energy, spiritual protection, and cleansing.
  • Green: Abundance, wealth, money, and luck.

Incense and aromatherapy cleanse and set the tone for manifestations

  • Rose: Self-love, internal peace and sets a protective angelic energy around you.
  • Lemongrass: Revitalizes the mind and body, improves concentration, and purifies energy.
  • Copal: Enhances spiritual ancestor connection, calms the mind, and reduces stress.

Kitchen Manifesting Altar Tools

Salt

Use salt to remove negative energy from your home and aura.

Place salt in a bowl on your altar, or the front door, or use it to shower and pour over your head when you are in need of an energy cleanse (be sure to keep your eyes tightly closed, nothing ruins a good cleanse like burning eyes). Or mix with an essential oil and use it as a salt scrub.

Cinnamon

Use cinnamon to attract abundance and success. Sprinkle a few pinches over your candle to ignite your personal manifestations.

Mint

Use mint for luck, attract money, and prosperity, and to eliminate stagnant energy and/or obstacles. Grow your own mint plant, take care of it daily and water it with intention. This will attract more wealth and luck to you.

Favorite Crystals to use for New Moon

  • Rose quartz = love and angelic connection.
  • Tiger’s Eye = protection and amplifies manifesting energy.
  • Green Aventurine = luck, prosperity, and wealth.
  • Sunstone crystal = ignites the fire within, brings joy, and manifests deepest desires.

Practices To Help You Stay Aligned With the Manifesting Mindset

  1. The Manifestations of Gratitude: Practice gratitude daily and don’t overlook your past and present manifestations. Try journaling and drawing.
  2. The Acceptance of Blessings: Allow yourself to receive and accept blessings, compliments, help, and unexpected opportunities. Try Speaking to yourself with love and compassion. (Hype yourself up)
  3. The Creation of Boundaries: Set boundaries to protect internal peace and align with those who respect your boundaries and support your journey unconditionally. Try creating a schedule, write down goals and create strategic plans to hold yourself accountable.
  4. The Mindset of Patience and Trust: Speak your manifestations into existence and surrender to the universe. Understand that manifestations can unfold in different ways. Practice visualizing and connecting with your higher self to ask for help and strength when needed.
  5. The Awareness of Beauty Blossoming: Even through the darkest of times it is important to stand in your power and see the beauty of what is around you rather than get consumed by negativity. This doesn’t mean ignoring or masking your problems, but rather understanding that every moment is light and dark and every ending is a new beginning. Practice staying present and in the moment, literally, stop and smell the roses when you need a reminder of the beauty around you.
  6. The Celebration of Prosperity: Practice celebrating your wins and speaking about your accomplishments. Staying humble doesn’t mean putting yourself down or dimming your light for others to feel more comfortable. Try creating an “I AM GOALS” board (digital, IRL board, or video clips) of your favorite big or small moments, awards, and successes that impacted your life. Remind yourself where you came from and how far you have come to help you see your future path more clearly.
  7. The Strength Within: Redefining strength is important because everyone has different types of strengths and abilities. What does strength mean to you, how has your strength come through for you in times of need or even when you underestimate yourself. Try reflecting on your strengths and opportunities. Ask and seek help when you need it, and don’t feel ashamed because it takes strength to ask for help.
  8. Embrace the Desire: Practice connecting with your inner child to reclaim your creativity and your imagination. Allow yourself to manifest your desires that were once so realistic to you without shutting down. Try playing outdoors, having a day of rest and creativity, do something you didn’t get to do as a child, but yearn to do.
  9. The Protection Energy: Connect and align with things or people who support and root for you. Observe, but do not absorb how others' constructive criticism and negative projections make you feel. Understand that many things are out of your control, but you have choices about who and what you surround yourself with that can ultimately be changed. Protecting your energy may feel like the death of an old version of you, but a new version is always awaiting.
  10. The Connection and Stability: Create rituals to keep you aligned with manifestations. For example, if you are manifesting love then pamper yourself with love and give yourself the love you want. Stability and the manifesting magic come from within. Try a morning ritual lighting on your altar or in a space you feel comfortable with, and for at least 5 minutes, remain still and daydream about your manifestations unfolding, end the visualization with gratitude and speak it to existence.

Create a Manifesting Vision Board

  • Create a manifesting board that can be edited and adjusted throughout the year
    • Use a pinboard or a reusable board
    • Leave room to add more pictures or images throughout the year
    • Goals and manifestations can change at anytime
  • Include your favorite moments of the past
    • Include photos of places you visited
    • Meaningful souvenirs or sacred heirlooms
    • Joyful photos, accomplishments, and/or awards
  • Include future goals
    • Places to visit and travel to
    • Jobs or career images
    • Love and special moments you want to create
  • Include Affirmations
    • Use words that powerful use and enhance your intentions
    • Write your own affirmations or notes
    • Add quotes or mantras that speak to your manifestations

Placement of Vision Board: Many of us create vision boards only to forget, put them away or hide them. Where you place on your board is crucial to manifest.

  • Place your board where you can see it daily
  • The board can be placed by your altar
  • Release the shame of what the goals you desire are
  • Create a special bond with your board and connect with it daily

Nathalie Molina Niño on Why Latinas Belong in Boardrooms—and How to Get There

Nathalie Molina Niño has never been one to shy away from breaking barriers, and now, she’s focusing her attention on a new mission: demystifying corporate boardrooms for women, especially Latinas. Molina Niño is the President of Known, an asset management and financial services firm, a veteran tech entrepreneur and builder capitalist, and a board member at the iconic lingerie Brand, Hanky Panky, and others.

Like many corporate boards, Hanky Panky hadn’t publicly disclosed its board composition until recently. After the brand survived the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Molina Niño decided it was time for more women, specifically more Latinas, to know what it means to be on corporate boards.

Coincidentally, the decision to finally be more vocal about this topic aligned with the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, which served as the perfect kick-off to the work.

"Something that rarely gets talked about and I think almost gets kept opaque by design is boards,” she explains in a recent Instagram announcement. “[This Latinx Heritage Month], that’s what I’ll be talking about.” Her goal? To equip more Latinas with the knowledge they need to navigate onto for-profit boards, where they can thrive and build multi-generational wealth.

For-profit corporate boards often feel like an exclusive club. And in many ways, they are, especially for Latinas, who hold the smallest percentage of board seats in Fortune 500 companies compared to other racial groups. According to the latest report from Latino Board Monitor, while Latinos hold 4.1% of these board seats (compared to 82.5% held by white people), only 1% go to Latinas. Molina Niño, a first-generation American of Ecuadorian and Colombian descent, is part of this boardroom minority.

When asked about her experience as a Latina board member during a recent Zoom interview, she said, “It’s been lonely. There’s not a lot of Latinas on boards.” She went on to explain that even serving on boards of Latina-founded businesses gets lonely because, “A lot of the times, people who serve on their boards represent their investors and, as a result, [...] you still don’t see a lot of Latinas on those boards.”

This lack of representation drives Molina Niño’s determination to increase Latina presence in corporate boardrooms. By sharing her insights, she hopes to give Latinas a roadmap to claim their seats at the table. “If you don’t know where to go, it’s impossible to figure out how to get there,” she says.

The Road to the Boardroom

Getting onto a for-profit corporate board isn’t an overnight achievement, but it’s not an unattainable dream either. People often think you need to be a CEO or have a certain type of background, but that’s one of the biggest myths about boards in Molina Niño’s experience. What they’re really looking for is expertise — whether that’s in finance, marketing, sustainability, or even technology. If you have that expertise, you’re already an asset. It’s simply a matter of which road you should take.

Understanding what boards are and how they operate is key to unlocking opportunities. For-profit boards serve as the governing body for companies, overseeing direction and financial stability, and guiding CEOs and executives in decision-making. But Molina Niño emphasizes that not all for-profit boards are created equal.

“There are two kinds [of for-profit boards] [...]. There’s the publicly traded business board and then, on the privately held side, there are, I would argue, two types of boards [...] the traditional business board and the venture-backed business board,” explains Molina Niño. Traditional businesses are often family-owned or long-established and may only form boards to meet requirements, like securing financing or transitioning through an ESOP. Venture-backed boards, on the other hand, are typically filled by investors who hold major stakes in the company.

According to Molina Niño, understanding the difference between them is how you can create a successful strategy. With publicly traded business boards, the whole world is privy to them, so, “The way that you get in there is a little bit more transparent. Sometimes those publicly traded companies will hire a recruiter to help them find new board members,” explains Molina Niño. For private companies, on the other hand, there’s no legal requirement to make announcements. As a result, most people don’t know anything about them or their inner workings.

“Usually what happens in traditional businesses that don’t have venture-capital investments is that the Founders, Executives, or the board members, if one existed already, they usually go to their friends,” and people they deem experienced to fill board seats. In other words, it’s the founder’s decision, and that’s an entirely different approach than hiring recruiters. When it comes to venture-backed business boards, the seats on the board are filled by whichever investor writes the biggest check.

This is why an understanding of the different types of boards and acknowledgment of their own strengths is what will help Latinas define a sound strategy. Whether that’s working with a recruiter, networking and connecting with founders to build trust, or making the biggest investment.

The Path for Latinas

For Molina Niño, the key to getting more Latinas into corporate boardrooms is education. Knowing what a board looks like and how it functions is how you can position yourself to get on it. In openly talking about this, without the mystique it’s usually shrouded in, Molina Niño is providing women, especially Latinas, with invaluable insights. “If we had Latinas understanding what are the three types of for-profit boards I think that, on their own, they would be able to figure out what their best chance is and adjust their careers to make themselves more competitive,” states Molina Niño.

When asked about the impact of increased Latina representation in boardrooms, Molina Niño flips the narrative. “Boards don’t help Latinas by offering them seats; Latinas help businesses thrive by being on their boards,” she says. “The whole point of sitting on a board is that you have experience and expertise, and as Latinas, you also have some cultural experience that everyone wants. [...] At the end of the day, we [Latinas] have to realize that we have a ton to offer and we have to be selective about where we put that expertise,” she explains.

As demand for access to the Latina consumer rises, Molina Niño predicts that more Latinas will find themselves recruited into boardrooms. But she’s not content to sit back and wait for that moment. By openly sharing her journey and insights, she’s making sure other Latinas know their worth and have the tools to claim their place at the table. “I realized that quietly being on boards that helped me personally is not helping other Latinas. [...] I was lucky enough to have friends who could advise me and share their experiences, so that’s why I’m doing this,” she stated.

With Hispanic Heritage Month as the backdrop, Nathalie Molina Niño’s mission is clear: “My goal is just to give Latinas enough information so they can make a plan for how to eventually get on a board that they’re paid to be on and that will eventually help them build generational wealth.”
