How the 55X5 Manifestation Method Works

The 55×5 manifesting method is a popular technique, and I often get asked about it by my readers. So, let me give you some 555 manifestation examples.

But because I teach action-based manifestation and don’t like BS, I’ll also give you my honest opinion on whether you should use this method.

What is the 55×5 Manifesting Formula

The 55×5 manifestation method (sometimes called an ancient manifesting ritual), combines manifestation affirmations and journaling. It involves writing your goal as an affirmative statement 55 times for five consecutive days.

It’s one of what I call ‘random numbers’ manifestation techniques, like the 77×7 or the 33×3 manifestation method. Although popular, I’m not a big fan of these techniques.

But before I tell you why, let’s have a quick look at how the 555 method works:

Step 1: Define Your Goal

Think about exactly what you want. You must clearly define your goals before using any manifesting techniques. 

Step 2: Formulate Your Affirmation

The 55×5 method is a mix of two manifestation methods, affirmations and journaling; start by formulating a powerful affirmation statement for your goal.

Step 3: Write your Affirmation 55 Times For 5 Days

For the next five days, write down your affirmation manifestation 55 times. You can use a piece of paper for this, or you can make this your daily journaling exercise.

Extra Tip: How to Write Powerful 55X5 Manifestation Affirmations

Make sure that you formulate your desired goal as follows:

• In the present tense.
• Short and specific.
• Positive.

To make the whole thing even more powerful, add gratitude. 

That’s where I question this method and believe that the 55×5 method is a waste of time.

Does 555 manifestation work?

Many of these random number manifestation methods have become very popular on social media, such as TikTok.

They get shared so often that people start believing that they are the secret of how manifestation works. But there are a few points to think about…

First, I always question the randomness of the numbers.

Why 55 times?

As mentioned above, there is also the 33×3, 777, 369, or other methods. And they all teach basically the same, just with other numbers.

So many people don’t understand something fundamental. It’s often believed that these manifesting techniques, methods, or tools ARE the actual manifestation.

But that’s not true.

Manifestation is not a magic trick, you can’t just write down your dream 55 times and then whatever you desire will just fall from the sky.

That’s not how it works.

Manifestation needs a deep subconscious transformation. Any method (such as affirmations or journaling) can assist you on this journey, but there is so much more to it.

But let’s see if we can still gain something from the 55×5 method…

55×5 Method Success Stories (Are They Real?)

Manifestation methods are based on sending the right signals to our subconscious. And getting vibrational aligned with your goals. 

If writing an affirmation on a piece of paper 55 times helps you with this, that’s great.

And yes, there are a lot of success stories out there from women who say 55×5 has helped them to manifest money, or their soulmate, or maybe their dream job.

But there is often a bigger story behind these 55×5 success stories.

• You just don’t know what else they did to get better alignment.
• You don’t know what backstory they have.
• You don’t know how many (or few) manifestation blocks they had to overcome.

Don’t compare your story with their story.

Affirmations, journaling, or manifesting techniques such as 55×5 can be all powerful tools. But in the end, they are just tools. 

For example, I’m not saying that I have manifested the love of my life ONLY BECAUSE I glued my relationship goals on my vision board.

Of course, this supported the entire manifestation process. But…

• It needed the activation of many different universal laws.
• I had to overcome a bunch of abundance blocks first.
• I used more than just one of the many tools.

It took so much more than just ‘writing 55 affirmations’ to get there.

So when I see these girls on the internet make claims like ‘how to manifest all you want in 24 hours with 55×5’, I get really upset.

This is giving false hopes to many women out there. To successfully attract more abundance, you must trigger your subconscious power the right way.

Why The 55×5 Method Might NOT Work For You

Let me make an example: I know many love using 55×5 to manifest money.

But honestly, do you think that writing down 55 times the affirmation “I’m rich” will just make you wake up in the morning of day six, realizing that you suddenly became a millionaire?

Of course, affirmations are powerful in reprogramming your subconscious mind, but in the end, it takes many more steps to become a millionaire.

It’s also not just about changing your mindset or overcoming blocks; the last (and most important) step in the manifestation process is taking inspired action.

And writing your affirmation 55 times is NOT an inspired action. It may even backfire.

If you’re like me, you most likely get boored after a few times of writing it down, your hand might even starts to hurt. Not really the high-vibe message we want to send our subconscious mind.

A much better way would be to:

Take action on your goal. (What brings me to the next point).

Write your manifestation goal once.

Create an affirmation out of it and say it out loud.

Visualize yourself reaching that goal.

Reflect in your journal on what blocks come up or what inspired action.

Power Manifestation 5×5 – A Manifestation Method That Brings Real Results

I’m all about having a good return on investment in every activity I do – that’s true for my business and even more when manifesting.

When you manifest, your investment is your time and energy.

That’s how I came up with a tool that inspires action, something I teach in my book or my PRO manifestation program.

It’s called the 5×5 Power Manifestation Method.

And even though the name sounds similar to 55×5, the two manifestation rituals have little in common.

It’s a commitment to take five actions every (work) day that will bring you closer to your goal or dream. Day 6 and 7 are for reflection and to catch up.

I am convinced that the law of action is actually more important in the manifestation process than the law of attraction. And therefore, you understand why I don’t like these other numerical methods. Because all action you take there is writing your goal down.

Sure, the 55×5 method can still work at a subconscious level and help you to change your vibrations, but only through action will you reach your goal.

And think about what signals you send to your subconscious mind when you take five daily steps toward your goal. It’s unbeatable.

So, if you have 15-30 minutes to invest in the 55×5 manifesting method for five days, why not spend the same time doing something that brings you closer to your dream?

And not every one of these steps has to be super big.

The American self-help book author Robert Collier once said: ‘Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.’

And the 5×5 actions are already 25 of them. Twenty-five steps closer to your goal.
