How to Practice the 101 Desires – The Rules of the Game

Now that you know the deeper purpose of desire, you may be wondering how to start.

The 101 Desires technique isn’t just about dreaming big—it’s about doing it consciously, with precision.
​
Here are the ten essential rules to follow when writing your 101 desires, as taught by Igor Sibaldi:

​1. Start every sentence with “I want…”
This is a direct declaration of intent. Don’t soften it—stand in it.

2. No negations.
Don’t write what you want to stop doing. Instead, affirm the positive version of your desire.

3. Use 14 words or fewer.
Keep it sharp. Keep it focused. Every comma, conjunction, or punctuation mark counts as a word.

4. Avoid comparisons.
You are not asking to be like someone else. You are asking to be you.

5. Avoid serial desires.
No lists like “I want a house in Paris, London, and Barcelona.” Each desire must be unique and exciting on its own.

6. Don’t ask for money.
Money is abstract. Ask for what you want to do with the money instead.

7. Be precise with size and detail.
No diminutives like “a little house.” Be clear. The universe listens literally.

8. Don’t ask for others.
You can say “I want to make it so that [person] feels supported,” but not “I want them to…” Free will must be respected.

9. Don’t attach desires to specific people, especially in case of romantic relationships.
Instead of “I want a relationship with Victor,” say, “I want a relationship that makes me feel alive, loved, and free.”

10. No limits.
The more outrageous your desire sounds, the more energy it carries. Ask for the zebra in the supermarket. Why not?

This isn’t magic—it’s mental, emotional, and spiritual training. Every desire you formulate teaches you something about who you are and what you’re capable of envisioning.
​
The process takes time. You’ll likely get stuck. But when that happens, don’t give up—go deeper. That’s the real treasure.
