Book Review: Untapped Magic: Manifestation Methods for Living a Limitless Life

Chloe Panta poses the question “Do you believe in magic?” in the opening line of her new book, Untapped Magic: Manifesting Methods for Living a Limitless Life (New World Library, March 12, 2024). The magic she refers to isn’t that of wizards and wands but of our innate ability to transform our lives through the consistent practice of manifestation. Page after page, Panta, a highly sought-after mindset expert and transformational coach, offers insights, mantras, exercises, and personal accounts of this magic working within her own life or her clients.

Panta grew up in one of the roughest neighborhoods of West Detroit, dreaming of a better life. Using the methods she now teaches, Panta, as if by magic, manifested the life she always dreamed of, and through her book shares her knowledge so others can do the same. “Consider this book as your guide, your toolbox, and all you’ll need to make the shift from where you are right now to where you want to be,” writes Panta.

These “tools” are practices she dubbed “Magic Actions,” “Magic Moments,” or the “Go Even Deeper” box concluding each chapter. The “Magic Actions” provide step-by-step exercises such as “Manifesting Your One Goal into Your Reality,” “Releasing Fear,” and “Negativity Detox.” The “Magic Moments” offer supporting affirmations, and in the “Go Even Deeper” box, Panta invites the reader to visit her website ChloePanta.co to access supporting audio snippets. All of these tools reinforce the message or lessons of each chapter and act as a how-to in implementing them into every day.

Panta’s book reads like a casual conversation with an insightful girlfriend encouraging and coaching the reader to glow up and tap into their inner magic by elevating their thinking to vibrate higher, create abundance, and attract the life they always desired. She advises the reader as the co-creator of their reality to “put your trust in the Universe/(Source or God) that it will bring you what you feel you are worthy of having and take the aligned actionable steps to manifest what you want in life.”

Trusting the unknown and taking a leap of faith can be terrifying, but as Panta justifies, “isn’t it scarier to do nothing and live in Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda Land?” Untapped Magic navigates readers out of this land and down a one-way street paved with personal growth, clarity, and success. This journey offers endless possibilities, as Panta reassures, “Just as there is unlimited air to breathe, there is an unlimited amount of magic for you to tap into to create your lovely life.” Her wise words and modern approach are a breath of fresh air dusting off an ancient philosophy. Untapped Magic is a must-read for anyone looking to overcome obstacles and unlock their full potential to live their best life, or in Panta’s words, “To help you grow, succeed, overcome, overachieve, outshine, outdo, glow up, blow up, boss up…”
