“And So It Is”: The Spiritual Meaning Behind These Powerful Words

You may hear “and so it is” at the end of a prayer, affirmation, manifestation, meditation, or spoken intention. Similar to “so be it,” the phrase closes whatever came before it with certainty.

Spiritually, “and so it is” means that your intention has been stated, accepted, and released. In manifestation, these words express certainty that what you have asked for is already yours or already on its way to you. You stop wishing and move into knowing.

The phrase is also used in prayer as a way of placing your request in the hands of God, the universe, or a higher power. You have spoken your words, and now you trust them to be received.

From Intention to Acceptance

The power of “and so it is” comes from its finality. Imagine saying, “I welcome love into my life, and so it is.” The last four words close the statement instead of leaving it as a wish.

You have said what you want. Now you release it and allow the universe, God, or whatever higher power you believe in to bring it into your life.

“And so it is” carries no hoping or wishing. It expresses certainty, knowing, and living from the end result as though your intention has already been accepted. You have stated your desire, claimed it, and left no question at the end.

Using “And So It Is” in Manifestation

“And so it is” works especially well at the end of a manifestation because it replaces hoping with certainty. Instead of saying, “I hope I find love,” you can state what you want as something you already accept:

“I welcome a loving relationship into my life. And so it is.”

For money or work, you might say:

“New opportunities are opening for me. And so it is.”

You can add the phrase to scripting, affirmations, manifestation letters, visualization, or written intentions. It closes the statement and leaves your desire with a sense of certainty.

I used to say it even when I was feeling down. I would tell myself, “Everything is okay. And so it is.” In those moments, I was using the phrase less as a manifestation of something specific and more as a declaration that things would work out, even when I could not yet see how.

Saying It After Prayer

“And so it is” can also close a prayer. Here, the emphasis falls more on faith and surrender.

After asking for guidance, healing, protection, love, or help with a difficult situation, the phrase signals that you are placing the request outside your own hands. You have asked for what you need and trust that your prayer has been received.

It carries a similar sense of completion to “amen” or “so be it,” although many people prefer “and so it is” when their prayer is less traditional or connected with manifestation.

Say It and Let It Go

The second half of the phrase is almost as important as saying it: letting the intention go.

If you ask for something and immediately begin wondering when it will happen, how it will happen, or why it has not happened yet, you return to uncertainty. “And so it is” marks the point where you stop trying to control every detail.

You can still take action toward what you want. The release concerns the constant checking and questioning. You know what you asked for, and you trust the rest to unfold.

Four Words of Certainty

“And so it is” closes a prayer, affirmation, or manifestation with certainty and trust. You have named your desire, spoken it clearly, and handed over the outcome.

There is nothing left to add, rewrite, or ask again. You said it, you meant it, and you trust that it has been received. And so it is.
