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!

Good Morning everyone - Amanda in the desert here (Phoenix AZ USA), where I think it may rain ... any second. So about manifesting. As I have stated - I'm just days away from being 60 - a turning point - and ...well, at this point I'm just going to "bless my mess" and create bliss from this point forward. Yesterday I was going to meet a friend at Starbucks before going to yoga (I know, I know...) - I arrived at Starbucks - reached in my pocket book for my *$$ card and ...the worst - no wallet. Not in the car, not anywhere. No driving license, no credit cards, no $, no social security card (this is Arizona...identity fraud high -high-high!) - no *$$ card. So I called my friend - told her what happened - said I'm heading back to the office to see if it was there, or at the restaraunt where I'd eaten lunch. With all the intent and feeling and emotion I could muster I put out a call to the Universe and said "HELP - I need to get this wallet and all of its contents back and I need your help." Long story short - I found it in an obscure spot in the office where I just happened to look. 'got it back. So A LOT is how I liked that! So I'm thinking strong intention - desire - putting everything else aside - focus - that's certainly a key if not "the" key. Love, Amanda

[Jennifer]

That's awesome, Amanda! I'm not sure I've ever thought about a "strong" intention before, or to FOCUS strongly, so that's so terrific to pass that on. Thanks!!

And, congratulations on finding your wallet ; I've been in those shoes before! Also Happy Birthday, you are beautiful, and so positive -- LOVELY! : - )

Love, Jennifer

[Amanda Annola]

Thanks, Jennifer - I'll keep you informed WHEN I experience additional instant-manifestations such as the one I described and I'll look forward to hearing about your JUICY life, too !! Love, Amanda in Az

[Jennifer]

I thought of you last night, Amanda, as I began reading Think and Grow Rich; it brought up the intensity of desire, or as you said, of focus (which I prefer, as desire might bring up a smidge of lack, it seems to me anyway; am I missing something?).

Thank you, again, I feel so grateful you sent that comment my way, and for being able to get to know you here, Amanda !!

[Amanda Annola]

Again...synchronicity! I recently purchased Think and Grow Rich. I think if you search on youtube you'll find a little tape of Mr. Hill that's quite interesting. Let me know.
I was thinking last night about "focus" - and the level of focus - sort of like when you hear about the 100 lb. woman who manifests the strength to lift up a car ...we've all heard reports of those instances. Perhaps that's what I was trying to explain - and you gave me a clearer word - focus. Yup - you sure did. Thanks, Jennifer. You have a lovely smile and I know that you've got big smiles for big reasons comin' your way!!
Love, Amanda in Arizona

So funny! I'm reading Think & Grow Rich again myself, I've read it about 6 times over the past 2 years. I also love The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles (he inspired the creation of Think & Grow Rich through Andrew Carnegie) and you can get that as a free download from www.thewealthage.com/freebonus.php.

A man named Martin Dunkerton made a movie about how he used the principles of Think & Grow Rich to make a million dollars, you can find snippits of the movie on YouTube if you search Millionaire: Awaken Your Heart. It's a beautiful movie, I recommend it to everyone to see!

Much Love!

Hi, just want to say that I came across this comment at the PERFECT time as I couldn't find my school jumper this morning. I go to a private school where uniform is very, very expensive to buy, and it wasn't my first time losing a jumper. Listening to your story really helped me feel less grim about it- I will DEFINITELY try doing what you did, and wait for me to find it! (or it to find me!) Thanks.

[DJ]

I manifested my first comment on this site. Thanks, Amanda.

[Amanda Annola]

TERRIFFFFIC! You've been as bizzzeee as that buzzzin' bee on that gorgeous flower :-)!!!

[Lisa]

I love that! I'm going to try it.

The only techniques I really have are saying that I am grateful for things, as if they are already happening to me.

A technique I've recently started using that's been helpful has been with negative thoughts. You know how they just pop in there sometimes and they used to worry me so much. One day I read about someone who would just say "delete!!" So, that is what I do now and it really works for me. Makes me just stop the thought and I go on and replace it with a positive thought.

If I am going somewhere that is making me feel nervous, I always say "I am light and love." That helps me to remember why I am in this world, no matter what situation I am facing and it reminds my ego that it has no control over me.

That's all I can think of right now, besides the standby of thinking from the end, imagining and feeling the emotions of life being as we dream. That has been the most powerful one for me overall.

Sometimes I laugh at one manifestation that I think was an accident. I used to walk and use that time to meditate (obsess even) about what I was desiring. I would imagine walking beside, holding hands with the man who now lives with me. I also needed a pair of walking shoes and would always imagine looking down and seeing white tennis shoes. One day when Patrick and I were walking, holding hands, I looked down and saw white tennis shoes...HIS! oops.

[Angela Hernandez]

Thats a great idea Lisa
DELETE! I will use that.

Since watching the Secret, i find myself "changing the channel". Whenever I start to get angry or my emotions out of control, I simply picture myself turning a knob and "changing the channel". I then force myself to think of something wonderful like a beach or me riding my new bike, etc until the negativity is gone.

[SavorYourSweetness]

Lisa, I totally understand what you are saying about the negative thoughts. I do the same thing and when I am scared or worried I use this line "I am Safe in Secure in the Loving Arms of the Universe" or one of Catherine Ponder's quotes "Be Still and Know that I am God at work in this situation" Those have made all the world of difference for my worrying mind.

That's funny about the shoes...it always amazing how specific the universe can be...or we think we are being specific but the universe shows us that there was room for interpretation. ~Candi
