Collection of Japanese ceramic maneki-neko (beckoning cat) figurines on a wooden shelf, illuminated by sunlight with dark, shadowy background.

See yourself clearly. Change your life gently.

A ONE-OF-A-KIND DESTINY-BASED READING METHOD FOR THOSE SEEKING CLARITY, PATTERN SHIFTS, AND GUIDANCE THAT IS ALIGNED.

The Maneki Method is a healing and self-understanding system created by Lilla Dent. Drawing on ancient Egyptian-based destiny readings, intuitive insight, and holistic life knowledge, this work helps you discover why you are the way you are—so you can begin to live differently.

It’s more than a reading. It’s a mirror that shows your superpowers, Achilles heels, and the recurring life patterns that may no longer serve you.

✨ It’s for people who are ready to change, but need a map.

What Is the Maneki Method?


Dark, wet asphalt with scattered orange and white leaves.
A ceramic figurine of a lucky cat, or Maneki-neko, with a white body decorated with smaller cat figures; the figurine has a raised paw, gold accents, and a green collar, set against a dark background.

The Maneki Method isn’t therapy or astrology. It’s a reading and coaching experience that:

  • Reveals patterns you may have sensed, but never fully seen

  • Names the deeper truths beneath confusion, stuckness, or spirals

  • Offers real-world tools to navigate your work, relationships, health, and life path

It’s for those moments when you're thinking:

“Why do I keep ending up in this situation?”
“Something is shifting, but I don’t know what to do about it.”
“This job/relationship/season doesn’t feel right... but what comes next?”

What It Can Support

Numerous red and white bubbles floating against a dark background.

This work resonates most with those who are:

  • Curious about their life path or soul contracts

  • In a transition—new job, break-up, move, burnout

  • Empaths, survivors, thinkers, and creatives ready for deeper clarity

  • Feeling the pull to live more intentionally, more intuitively

No spiritual jargon. No fluff. Just honest, intuitive coaching rooted in ancient frameworks and real life.

Why Maneki?

Maneki is the Japanese word for "to beckon"—and like the beckoning cat, this method invites clarity, alignment, and self-acceptance into your life.

The Maneki Method isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about seeing you, deeply and clearly—
So you can live with purpose, permission, and peace.
