Manifestation techniques? My experiences here. Share yours, please? :-)

[Jennifer]

Hi, I'd love to hear some manifestation techniques some have used to [great] success here?

My first encounter with LOA was taken from a phrase in Ask and It Is Given, the "Wouldn't it be nice if..." phrase. That was the first thing I could understand and wrap my head around. The notion that there is nothing you can argue with inside your head about that phrase, worked for me, so I used it.

And everything I asked for, granted all pretty small things, but way beyond being even possibly just coincidence, happened within 48 hours (okay one was longer).

To share, I'd asked for:
1) The first day, I asked for two things. First, I thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if some people I've lost contact with got in touch with me?"
Result Next morning, I awoke to three emails from people I'd not talked to in over a year!

2) At lunch the next day, I thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if everyone I passed on the street would look at me and smile?"
Result I walked to the sandwich shop, made sure I was not smiling to influence folks (no one smiled yet), stood in line (no one smiling, no one looking), got my sandwich and walked back (still no looks, no smiles), but then... about 30 feet from the entrance to my office building, every single person I passed was turning and smiling at me, and through my office building's lobby too! I was SHOCKED! But delighted!!

3) Next, I thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if I found a new really, really great job?"
Result 5-6 really stellar employers here in town contacted me from a resume I'd not touched for years (that's been online forever just sitting there). That one happened over the next 4-5 days. Again, I was shocked, but obviously delighted again!

Because of this I've been encouraging everyone I know just to try this, at least try! It's amazing how many people put up walls to it. I try to ask: what could it possibly hurt? It would make you more positive, at least a smidge, and happy, thinking of some of the things you want?

While too few folks I know have even tried, one did, and when I asked him about it, he was so funny. He was afraid to tell me, afraid he would "jinx it." He'd apparently tried this, and had been having phenominal success with his day-trading occupation! I was totally laughing, because by hiding it, isn't he working against his wishes, a smidge? I'd noted he should tell me about it, and about how much success he is having, etc, but he still didn't, so I unfortunately can't recount it here.

Though lately, he's noted that he should try "that" again!

Another friend of mine, while being rather closed off to the ideas when I discuss them with her, also noted that she'd heard of this a long time ago, I think through one of the financial books a friend of hers had told her about. Then, she had manifested a TV stand and a couch for an apartment she and her friend had moved to. She's closed currently to using it to get more business though, even really, really needing some more business. I keep trying to encourage her!

Recently, I manifested a leather dog leash. ... But I still haven't manifested the 1963 Mercedes 220, white exterior, black new leather interior. I need some help collapsing my subconscious doubts, I know, even in spite of my firm belief this all can work. ;-)

If anyone has any manifestation techniques they've used, it'd be so great to read them here! Sorry for the length of this, hopefully it's useful for someone here!

Your experiences in using the "Wouldn't it be nice if ....." are truly amazing. It motivated me to use the same. Will share with you my experiences in a few days. Thanks.

[Jennifer]

Cool, that's awesome, Chandima! I've always wanted to see how someone else might have great manifestations using this technique, since it worked so well for me. Please keep us all posted, I can't wait to hear about everything you attract !! : - )

[Tamara Rasheed]

I told my sister about it "Wouldn't it be nice if..." and she really took to it! I was really surprised. She's 21 years old, and she's manifesting phone calls easier ways to get some goals accomplished etc., it's really working. She's even telling other people about it, which is so neat. I'm trying to get her to do a 100 Day Challenge also.

Love,
Tamara

[Jennifer]

Oh my gosh, that's so awesome, Tamara!!! I'm going to add this to my list of intentions today! To attract MORE people into my immediate and local life, because everyone here is already into all of this already, who will "take" to this idea or have it already (and so can cheer me on, and me them as well!).

THANK YOU so much for your note, Tamara ! You are so incredible + beautiful !! Have a gorgeous day of manifestations!

[Amanda Annola]

Hi Jennifer, Tamara and everyone - (and welcome to Chandima) ... As I was recently saying, I'd taken an online tele-class conducted by Scott Martineau and Sonia Choquette -- one of the things Sonia suggests is using the words "I WONDER...." other one is: "IF I WEREN'T AFRAID, I WOULD.....". I have found these useful. I send you all success and success and ... JOY AND BLISS. Gee, I wonder what it'll feel and be like when all of us have manifested all of our intentions and goals :-)
Remember Oscar Wilde's quote: Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result!!!

[Amalia Zents]

Thanks for sharing your manifestations. I think that the first step to getting what you want, is to know what it is you want. Since you have the first part, the second part should be a piece of cake!
'Best,

I just read something briefly on the release technique. I am going to work with this, where you just let go of all negative emotions to allow positive abundance to flow in your life. I am going to learn to start blocking all thoughts from my mind. to just stare at a focal point without any thought just to see what happens.

I have worked on my vision board and start to stare at it. Learning to visualize what I want and place a time table for it.

But I would like to say. Before I heard of the law of attraction, I knew when I did focus or desired things they would miraculously appear. Before computers became affordable. I wanted to have one so bad. I mean really bad. So I would always look in the paper and the stores, but I never could afford one. Then I kept running into people who could rebuild or build computers. But I could never afford the price they were charging.

Well one day, I went into one of the Goodwill stores. And there was a computer being sold for little or nothing. There was a man standing near it, whom I really had not paid attention to. He quietly asked me did I need a computer and he said he could build me one for only 100.00. where others wanted to charged 300.00 or more. I immediately got the money and bought my first computer that is when they had windows 98, and when that one got to old I bought one with windows xp. So it does works. Where there is a will there is a way.

You got it right. I just listened to Earl Nightingale's, "The Strangest Secret." He says to block the fear and the negativity out of your mind since what you think on you attract. So, you had it right instinctively. Focus on what it is you want, and shut out the negativity.

It was awesome. I was sitting in a positive reinforcemnet class tonight. We all had a ticket that was to be drawn at the end of the class. About 10 minutes prior to the drawing, I decided to see if I could "manifest" my # being drawn. I played out the whole scene in my mind. I was pretty sure as to who I believed was going to do the drawing, so I envisioned her coming to the front, picking a ticket out of her basket and then calling my number. I repeated this in my mind at least 10-15 times. Then to my amazement, the same lady I pictured came to the front with a basket just as I had pictured and drew a ticket. OMG.. she called my number, JUST AS I HAD SEEN IT IN MY MIND>> It was amazing.

[Iris Fitzgerald]

WOW not to be funny or anything, but just imagine picture your number being drawn with the lottery. MMMMM.
It's worth a try. Not that I am a gambler or anything. LOL

[Angela Hernandez]

Oh I have thought of that. lol

I read somewhere that the LOA will not work on the lottery b/c you have thousands if not millions that have also bought tickets. With all of them concentrating on winning at the same time, it cancels each other out. Thats why you cant use it on the lottery.

I don't play the lottery anyway. :)

I've found a great website: www.mediheaven.com
I used to be a member a year ago. They are great. If you like meditation and day dreaming, you're going to love this. Just wanted to share with you - I'm not working for them *lol*, I just really found the MP3 relaxing and joy bringing ( I love the self-confidence one).
