Clearly define your desire. Then, in your imagination, construct a single, simple event that implies the fulfillment of this desire. In this event, you must be the actor, not an observer. Restrict the imaginative act to one specific action (e.g., shaking a hand) and repeat it until it feels real and solid.

When you know exactly what you want, construct in your mind s eye a single, simple event which implies fulfillment of your desire, an event where in self predominates. Instead of sitting back and looking at yourself as though you were on the screen, you be the actor in the drama. Restrict the event to one single action. If you are going to shake a hand because that implies fulfillment of your desire then do that and that only. Do not shake hands and then wander off in your imagination to a dinner party or to some other place. Restrict your action to simply shaking hands and do it over and over again, until that handshake takes on the solidity and the distinctness of reality.

This technique focuses the imaginative power on a specific, concise action that embodies the feeling of the wish fulfilled. By repeatedly experiencing this single event from a first-person perspective, it gains sensory vividness and becomes a 'fact' in the inner world, leading to outer manifestation.
