Is there someplace you've always wanted to go? Don't worry about how you'll get the money or time for the trip — just do your magic and let the universe handle the arrangements.

Cut out pictures from magazines and travel catalogs of a place you'd like to visit. Gather maps, brochures, and other information about this place. Collect symbols and images that represent travel to you — a toy airplane, a tiny boat, a hotel from a Monopoly game, seashells, and anything that relates to the trip you're planning.

After you've gathered as many images as you feel you need, draw a circle on the piece of paper or cardboard large enough that you can stand within it. Glue all the symbols you've collected inside the circle. Use the colored markers to draw additional pictures and/or write words that describe your intentions, such as the names of the places you plan to visit or affirmations stating your desires.

When your wish board is finished, light the incense. Stand in the middle of the board and envision yourself journeying to the place(s) you've chosen. Make your visualization as clear and vivid as possible. Try to intuit the mood of the place, the sights, sounds, and smells. Enjoy yourself. Remain in the circle, imagining your journey, until the incense finishes burning.
