Fun Manifestation

Good Morning Everyone!

Had an awesome (and just plain fun) manifestation that I wanted to share with you. My husband and I have just received a fairly generous income tax refund and we were talking about what we should spend some of the money on.

We’ve been flowing pretty nicely with the money manifesting lately so we decided we would treat ourselves to a gift or two and put the rest away.

I decided to buy myself the entire Bob Ross Starter Paint set. (For those of you who don’t know, Bob Ross was an awesome landscape painter that used to be on PBS television. He could create the most beautiful landscapes in under 30 minutes and it was something I always wanted to try.) It cost me about $250.00 to get everything from the easel to the paints (canvasses, brushes etc.)

My husband decided he wanted to buy himself a 46” Flat Screen television (men!) but the $1,600 for the television was a little more than he wanted to pay. He did some research online and found that he could get a refurbished 46” Flat Screen Aquos for around $700 which made more sense to him. He really liked the Aquos and decided to do a little more research before committing. This had happened on the Saturday before Superbowl Sunday.

Later that same Saturday afternoon we went to the supermarket together to pick up some food and beer to bring to a Superbowl party we were attending the next day. While my husband was looking for the food items, I went to get the beer and noticed this huge raffle display from Budweiser in the beer section. The prize? A 46“ Aquos Flatscreen television!

Hey! I am no Law of Attraction novice here -- I know when to take a hint! Especially when it was the EXACT television that he had decided he wanted that very morning.

Sure enough, I filled out a single raffle ticket with his name on it. This past Monday we got the call - HE WON!!

At first we thought that maybe this was a fairly small giveaway but have since found out that this was a country wide raffle! Budweiser had been running the promotion for quite a few months, even on the internet. Talk about a fun manifestation!

So keep your eyes open for possibilities and those positive thoughts flowing! You truly have no idea in what fun ways Universe will decide to deliver.

Kyle's Story

Good Morning Everyone!

There is a good chance you might have seen this story already floating around on the internet, because it is such a touching one.

Unfortunately I do not know the original author of the piece to give due credit, but I am hoping that by its popularity alone the author realizes how many people this story has touched.

I'm publishing it here today because to me it is a reminder that:

-- there are no such things as coincidences
-- that we are always exactly where we should be at exactly the right time
-- that when we desperately ask for help - universe will deliver it in the strangest and most touching of ways
-- and lastly that we will all always have the common inner higher connection to each other because we are all an equal part of the one.

Enjoy!

One day, when I was a freshman in high school,
I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.

His name was Kyle.

It looked like he was carrying all of his books.
I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?
He must really be a nerd."

I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.

He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.

As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives."

He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!"

There was a big smile on his face.

It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.

I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before.

He said he had gone to private school before now.

I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.
We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.
He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends. He said yes.

We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.

Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.
I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!"

He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

When we were seniors we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.

He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a football scholarship..

Kyle was valedictorian of our class.
I teased him all the time about being a nerd.
He had to prepare a speech for graduation.
I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak
Graduation day.

I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous!

Today was one of those days.

I could see that he was nervous about his speech.
So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"

He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled.
"Thanks," he said.

As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began

"Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends....

I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."

I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the first day we met.

He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.

He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
"Thankfully, I was saved... My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.."

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.

I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.
Not until that moment did I realize it ' s depth.

Never underestimate the power of your actions..
With one small gesture you can change a person ' s life.
For better or for worse.

God puts us all in each others lives to impact one another in some way.

Look for God in others.

I get chills every time I read this story. It has an incredible message on so many levels.

Back In Feasting Mode

I just came across an awesome quote from Abraham-Hicks on abrahamappreciators.com. It is about synchronicity and states:

Abraham-Hicks: "There are 20 or 30 viable rendezvous points in every day
for everything you want. And the better you feel, the more you line up
with them. The worse you feel, the more you zig while they zag. So what does that stir within you? Now you say, "Oh, oh, is it you, is it you, is it YOU?" It makes you sort of nutty! Now we want you to understand your work is not to make it happen. Your work is to LET it happen." San Rafael, CA 7/30/06

I absolutely love the idea that there are at least 20 or 30 rendezvous points each day to attract what you want. It means there really isn't such a thing as a missed opportunity because like a bus at a bus stop - another will be along any minute as long as you are vibrating at the right level.

Anyway....

I seem to be back in "feasting" mode and I am thrilled! I've posted here before how I sometimes go through a feast or famine stage when it comes to studying new ideas and viewpoints about the law of attraction. There are times when I am reading 4 books on the subject simultaneously to times where I have absolutely no interest in studying it at all.

I used to worry about this until I realized that each time I "lost interest" it was simply because I was taking in too much new information all at once and I needed time to "absorb it all."

Then a few months down the line I again suddenly get the urge to read everything I can get my hands on, but with a much deeper understanding than I had before.

Well I am happy to say I am back in the Feasting Stage. I went to the public library and took out 4 "new" Law of Attraction Books.

I figured as long as I was reading them anyway, I would start writing reviews and some of the highlights each one contains here at my blog. The "new" books (well, new to me anyway) are:

Feel It Real! by Denise Coates
Harmonic Wealth by James Arthur Ray
Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting by Lynn Grabhorn
The Astonishing Power of Emotions by Abraham-Hicks

So be sure to come back and visit often. I will have them under the category of LOA Book Reviews & Highlights.

How To Develop Your Psychic Abilities

There is nothing as exciting as "tapping into" your sixth sense. You probably know what I mean. When you suddenly "just know" something that you shouldn't know by conventional means.

When you automatically know who is on the phone when it rings, when someone calls out of the blue who you were just thinking about, or when a song that has been going through your head happens to be on when you turn on the radio.

This practice is more commonly known as ESP or Extra Sensory Perception.

The idea behind it is that we are all tapping into a shared consciousness or super-consciousness that connects all people and all living things.

It also goes along with the belief that linear time as we know it isn't real but that everything, is in fact, happening NOW at the same moment.

So while most of our lives we operate believing that one moment follows another then follows another - every once in awhile we get a look at a "future" moment (which really isn't a future moment at all - if everything is in fact all happening NOW). When we have a physic experience we are simply experiencing time in its natural state.

While it is true that some people are born with a more natural talent for having these moments, inherently we all have it. Because we are all equally a part of the one super consciousness - we all have the ability to tap into that super consciousness at will. And because all time is the same time - it is not at all farfetched that we can retrain ourselves to experience time in its natural state at certain times when we choose to.

It simply takes a little practice.

The following steps are designed to help you strengthen your own psychic abilities.

1. Acknowledging The Ability. Once upon a time ESP was looked at as if it were a joke. Only used by phony fortune tellers or charlatans. But if that were true, do you really think our scientists and even our U.S. government would spend millions of dollars in researching it? ESP is a very real ability that we all have. If you would like to tap into your abilities more, than you simply need to focus on this simple truth:

"ESP is natural and real and I have just as much access to it as anyone else."

2. Making A Conscious Effort To Tap Into It. Like anything else in our universe the more focus you give it the stronger it becomes. Rewire your old thoughts that psychic experiences only happen once in a "blue moon". Use the mantra "I am psychic and able to tap into my abilities more and more everyday." Once you subconscious self gets this message it will kick into gear and make it a reality. Say your mantra often.

3. Relax. Deep breathing and meditation are important. They quiet the mind which gives you better and clearer access to the super consciousness we are talking about. The better that you are at quieting your mind, the easier and clearer your answers will come through.

3. Practice.

Simple enough. When the phone rings take a moment to "feel" who the caller is. Remember we are all energetic beings who can read each others energies. Don't try too hard…simply drop all ideas of who you "think" it might possibly be and try to tune in and feel it instead.

Take a deck of cards and remove all 4 Queens (or whichever card you desire - as long as you have it in each suit.) Feel the cards - look and observe them - feel at "one" with each one. Then turn them over on the table and guess which card is which. With practice you will see that you get it right more often!

Feel what time you will arrive someplace. As I have mentioned before in previous posts, this is a game I have fun with all the time. Someone will ask me what time I will arrive somewhere and I will give them the exact minute. So when they ask "What time will you be there?" I will quiet my mind and see what exact minute of time pops into my head. Then I will reply "I will be there exactly 7:13." They normally laugh, as if I am making a joke. But I can't tell you how many times I have been spot on! Pulling into the parking lot or arriving at the door at that exact minute. And this is without knowing what exact moment I will be able to leave the house or traffic conditions. They normally forget what time I told them and don't pay attention when I arrive, but I notice every time!

Manifestation Exercise #25 - Keeping a Spiritual Growth Journal

Don’t you just love it when you read something that gives you that A-ha moment - a great moment of clarity -- a “why didn’t that ever dawn on my before?” moment?

Don’t you just hate it when two days later you completely forget what the awe-inspiring thought was that caused that feeling?

Don’t worry - it is totally normal, especially when you are in spiritual growth mode.

We’ve all had those moments where something “clicks” inside of us and makes us feel so positive and optimistic, that at the time we think we can’t possibly forget what that message was.

Then a few days after being distracted by the “real world” we find we can’t get that feeling back or even remember what “idea” turned us on in the first place.

That’s where creating a spiritual journal comes in. If you haven’t already started one, there is no better time than the present.

There are a few different ways to do this. It depends on the style you are most comfortable with.

If you like the act of physical writing:

A brand new 5 Subject Notebook is the way to go. Be sure to buy one specifically for this purpose. Buy one with a fancy cover or color you really connect with or cover it with pictures you enjoy. Make this book really special.

Now give a separate category to the first 3 sections. The 1st section could be about Attracting Money, the 2nd Relationships, the 3rd physical health, etc. Pick the first 3 that are most important to you in their order of importance. Save the 4th section for miscellaneous. Just thoughts or quotes that inspire or make you feel good. Inspirational website addresses that you don't want to forget - even pictures that make you feel good. And then there is the all important 5th section. This is where you are going to put down all your miracles and synchronistic events (more on this later).

If You Prefer The Computer:

Set up a main folder with an Inspiring Title and then do the same as listed above. Create 3 Subfolders regarding the subjects most important to you, a 4th for Miscellaneous and then the 5th for "miracles".

The reason for the category separation is because you are going to fill up these pages faster than you ever dreamed possible. So in the future, whenever you need a little inspiration regarding a specific problem, you will immediately be able to get your quick fill of page after page of perfect material that will boost you up regarding that one subject.

Now as to where you get your information. Obviously this will vary as well.

If you buy your own books and read in transit - a highlighter pen is obviously the easiest way to go. Simply highlight the paragraphs or sentences that specifically mean something to you. (A fun perk with this is when you go back to the book a year or two later and find that what you considered as a big "A-ha" moment then - is now something you take for granted. I can't tell you how many times I would say to myself "Wow! That was an idea I thought was earth shattering?! I now live by that principle every day without thinking about it.")

If you get your material from the library or you borrowed the book from someone else those little post it tags are perfect. They are small enough to carry in your pocket or purse and are even reusable. They are also so thin that you can easily place them on the paragraph or sentence that inspired you for easy locating later that evening.

One of the best things you can do is keep a little mini notebook with you -so not only can you write down what inspired you - but also your thoughts on how it applies to your situation directly. (A very important part of the exercise later.)

Magazines are pretty much a no-brainer. Just rip out the article or fold the top for easy locating.

And if you get your information from the internet or websites - again quite easy. Simply copy and paste it into your designated folder or document.

Now the two most important part of this exercise.

1. Transferring this information over to your notebook or computer.

I highly recommend you do this on a daily basis, preferable right before bedtime. There is no better way to let these fresh ideas sink into your subconscious than letting them be the last things you think about before going to sleep.

Also doing it daily keeps it from becoming a burden. You don't want to wait until you have a whole book of post-its before typing or writing it down because then it will become "work".

Another benefit of doing it everyday is the momentum you will create by reinforcing these ideas constantly. You will be amazed at how quick these ideas will become your new natural way of thinking when you give them constant daily attention.

And lastly and most obviously you want to keep the inspiring ideas fresh as soon as you get that "A-ha" feeling and remember why they hit you so strongly.

Which leads us to the second most important part.

2. Writing down not only the sentences that inspire you but also how and why they inspire you specifically at that moment. This is what the 5th category in your notebook or computer is going to contain.

For example, say you are having a problem with a family member that keeps butting into your business and you don't know how to deal with them. Then "coincidently" that same day you read an article that tells you exactly how to handle that type of situation. You immediately get a chill when you read it because you are saying to yourself "Oh Wow! That was exactly what I needed to read at this exact moment. Universe really responded - How awesome!"

This is the kind of stuff you need to write down!. These mini miracles! Because believe me when I tell you, if you don't you write them down that day - you will forget!

I'll give you a personal example. About 8 years ago I was in a fairly serious financial situation. I needed to come up with about $10,000. At the time I was reading a whole bunch of ideas and exercises to help me manifest this money. Sure enough within three weeks I received the money from a very unexpected source- no strings attached! I was stunned - I was amazed - I was thrilled! It worked! Law of Attraction really worked!

I busied myself putting the money to very good use and got on with my life. Things went pretty smoothly for awhile. I no longer had this serious debt hanging over my head and life went back to normal.

I continued to study and read for another 5 years - everything I could get my hands on.

Sure enough I found myself in another "financial situation." No big deal, right? I had done it before, I could do it again. The only problem was I couldn't remember exactly how I did it! It had been 5 years earlier!! I couldn't remember what thoughts I had had back then at the time, I couldn't remember what affirmations or meditations I had used. I couldn't remember the level of energy I was vibrating out.

I had read so much more different kinds on information in the meantime that I couldn't remember "the exact magic formula" that had worked for me the first time.

Now don't get me wrong. There are a million ways to manifest money, and I did manifest it again, but this time it took a little longer. And I am sure that the only reason for the delay was because I was so busy being frustrated about not remembering my "first" way, that I ended up blocking my own creative abilities (Oh well, another lesson learned).

So don't let that happen to you. Write down the miracles as they happen. Exactly what you are thinking when they happen. This way you can begin to recognize your own "manifesting blueprint" and see what works so well for you personally.

Another good reason for having this "miracle" list is simple.

We all have our ups and downs. Some days we are vibrating so high and then others… maybe not so much.

This 5th section is perfect for those "not so much" days.

It's really great to get inspired by the writings of others. But nothing will be as authentic to you than your own words and experiences written in your own "voice".

If you are having a particularly hard time manifesting something and are feeling a little doubtful, simply go to this 5th section and be reminded just how many times Universe has come through for you before.

Remind yourself of the vibrational level you were at when these manifestations happened. Remember the "spiritual high" you felt when these things materialized.

You will find that your confidence and belief will skyrocket when you have a clear list of 100 different times that Universe came through for you. Every time it gave you that parking spot you visualized, introduced you to the right person you needed at the right time, gave you the money that you needed or the information exactly when you asked for it.

So get started now! Start your Spiritual Growth Journal today.

Who knows? Maybe one day you'll have enough inspiring information to print your own book on the subject to inspire others.

The Power of 11:11 and Aligned Numbers - Is it A Message To You?

The Power of 11:11 and Aligned Numbers - Is it A Message To You?

It's back again. The synchronized and aligned numbers. I am seeing them constantly every where I look: my cable box, digital clock radio, at the bottom of my computer screen.

11:11, 5:55, 3:33, etc.

This has happened to me many times before over the years. A couple of weeks go by and I don't catch them once, then I see them at least 5 or 6 times in one week.

So, does it mean something?

I have been studying spiritual concepts for almost 20 years now. Over those years I have come across many different definitions of what this "alignment of numbers" is all about. I have always "known" deep down that it is more than just simple coincidence and that there is some kind of message in it for me anytime I see them.

But what can the message mean for you? The following are some ideas from others describing their thoughts behind this phenomenon.

One site described 11:11 as a wake up call to all lightworkers on this planet at this time. They believe that Lightworkers are people who signed up for a "green beret" type of mission when they were on the spirit plane and before being incarnated on Earth. What the mission is, in short, is to hold as much Light as possible, as strongly as possible, on this planet.

They believe that there is a twenty year period (starting on January 11, 1991) that will see matter holding more light than it has ever held before. That the reason why it is so difficult to remember our origin, remember that we are all connected, remember who we really are is because the vibration on this planet has dropped to a very, very low frequency.

11:11 is the wake up call during this period to the light workers reminding them that they are part of this mission.

In my own personal opinion, I believe each one of us studying these types of spiritual concepts is a "light worker" right now. I could absolutely agree with the "20 year period" concept that started in 1991 because I can see with my own eyes how many more people have "woken up" starting around that time as well as continue to on a daily basis.

Then there is this description I found on Crystalinks.com. It explains how 11:11 is believed to be an activator of our DNA.

They believe that physical reality is a consciousness program created by digital codes. That numbers, numeric codes, define our existence. Human DNA, our genetic memory, is encoded to be triggered by digital codes at specific times and frequencies. Those codes awaken the mind to the change and evolution of consciousness. 11:11 is one of those codes, meaning activation of DNA.

They note that seeing 11:11 frequently creates synchronicities in your life.

They also believe that the year 2011 will have great significance and consciousness will evolve in full swing. January 1, 2011 we find - 1/1/11 which could be seen as 1111. November 11 - 11/11/11. And that this promises to accelerate consciousness toward 2012.

It can also be seen as a key to unlock the subconscious mind, our genetic encoded memories, that we are spirits having a physical experience, not physical beings embarking on a spiritual experience.

For example, a person named Joe noticed that each time he was about to go through another major spiritual awakening, an epiphany of some kind, those numbers would appear in his physical experience to signal the upcoming change. The numbers would say to him, "Pay attention!"

Stacey Wolf, the author of Get Psychic!: Discover Your Hidden Powers describes 11:11 this way: "Seeing sets of the number 11, especially in this form, means that someone high up on the other side is giving you a message that you are not alone, ...”

Then there is this quote from Solara "11:11: Inside the Doorway". “For many years, the numbers 11:11 have been mysteriously and repeatedly appearing to people all over the world. Often appearing on digital clocks, the sightings of 11:11 tend to occur during times of heightened awareness, having a powerful effect on those involved. They cause a reactivation of our cellular memory banks and a stirring deep inside of something long forgotten. The appearance of 11:11 is also a powerful confirmation that we are on the right track, aligned with the beam of our Highest Truth.”

Another source claims that 11:11 is simply a hug from Universe.

Uri Geller was also a big believer in the fascinating sequence of these numbers.

So which is it? A message in our DNA? A hug from Universe? A message from our higher selves? A message meant for light workers? A wake-up call to get on track? Or a sign that you already on the right track?

Personally I believe it can mean any of the above; it simply depends on your current circumstances.

There have been times when I have been on a real "spiritual roll" manifesting quicker than ever and the numbers have appeared to me constantly. Then again, there have been other times when I have been out of alignment due to something that might have happened and when I see those numbers it is an immediate message to me to get back on track.

There have also been instances when I have had my doubts about something not working out as I originally planned and seeing those numbers was my actual "hug from Universe", my reminder to not lose faith and that everything is always working in my best interest.

And yet again times when I have seen the numbers and it did mean that another "spiritual leap" was about to happen.

As for the lightworker theory. As I mentioned before, I believe that all of us studying these concepts right now are lightworkers who chose to be here during this Earth time to do all that we can to help raise the energy on the planet.

So the next time you see those numbers, remember it is not simply a coincidence. It is some kind of message to you. A message for you too to "Pay Attention!"

Then you simply need to "feel" out what the message means. It really isn't difficult. As soon as you hit on the right answer you too will "know it" deep down.
