Beginning as a shy, introverted and quiet young woman, Arielle Ford became an outgoing
exuberant person by design. It was a very deliberate thing. Arielle was not comfortable around other people and knew she needed to get to a different level. Through a maverick attitude, a fiery spirit, and a quest to discover personal power, Arielle Ford is a master at the art of reinvention and an example of conscious living through inner guidance.
Q: What belief system did you initially have that allowed your life to unfold such that you have been able to not only work with many leaders in the empowerment field, but also release your own creations?
Arielle Ford: I was fortunate to have read a lot of books that talked about core spiritual new thought principles and manifestation processes. I began practicing those on a daily basis in the mid 1980’s. Even though I never had any evidence prior to that, I used those tools and became adept at them. Through experience, I had all the evidence in the world that if I desired something, I could have it in my life.
Q: You must have begun these practices in the career aspect of your life since there was rapid expansion in that area. Soulmate Secret is your latest creation, so would it be fair to say that relationship was the most challenging area in life and was the final piece?
Q: In manifesting, how important is the vision, the action step and the waiting step?
Arielle Ford: Actually the most important part is none of those things. It is being able to feel and experience in your body what you desire is already yours, whether it is something as simple as wanting a new sweater or elaborate as wanting a soul mate. The most important step is to close your eyes, sink into your body and experience the feeling you are going to have when that object is already yours. You have to bring it into your present moment awareness.
“In the beginning, I would pretend I wasn’t
Arielle Ford: Yes, career was almost easy. Once I got focused on what kind of clients I wanted to represent and the type of work I wanted to do, it was just an ongoing game to make it happen. I did not seriously look at my love life until I was in my early forties. It was at that point I realized I was ready to share my life with someone. I did some very specific deep emotional work to clear the past and my patterns. I used every manifestation tool I had ever learned and applied it to my love life and it worked brilliantly. Within six months, I met the man of my dreams. I was literally the woman of his dreams. He had actually seen me in a dream before we met. The year after we met, we married. That was twelve years ago.
Q: How did this journey evolve into a book so many years later?
Arielle Ford: I had no intention of writing this book. I was doing this process solely for my own benefit. When we got married, I let it go because my mission was accomplished. Two years ago, my sister, Debbie asked me to speak to a couple hundred of her students regarding how I manifested Brian. Afterward there was just a demand for this information and requests to write a book about it. The Soulmate Secret came out last January and has been doing very well since.

me; I was somebody else. I would look through the eyes of somebody that was very comfortable around other people and say what I needed to say. Eventually I became that person and made it true, effortless and second nature. I figured I would have more fun.”
If I see myself wearing this beautiful, purple, cashmere sweater…and I can feel it, smell it, luxuriate and snuggle into it, and feel this sweater is already mine, chances are the next store I walk into I will see it. Same thing with a soul mate, career move, or a new house… you have to put yourself in the experience and the knowingness that what you are asking for is already yours.
Q: Do you have a plan for what you want and is there a practice that you utilize for manifestation?
Arielle Ford: As long as I stay in the flow that my life is creative, fun, profitable, loving, useful, and of service, the most amazing things keep showing up. So I do not have this list of things that I need. It is more of ‘I love my life so much. This and better is mine.’ I live in this awareness and place of gratitude for that which already is… which brings more of what already is.
