I also tried that other popular incantation: I want to manifest x dollars on my bank account, just like that. But unfortunately neither a rich relative nor a bank just wired me some money ... But of course the only reason for that is that I wasn't 100% convinced!! Silly me. It's all my fault. The theory works so great and I'm too stupid to use it. |
Markus, you're not too stupid to use it, in fact you're probably too smart for your own good.
I have tried to do the same thing you describe, where I purchase a scratch and win and try to intend that I win the $10,000 prize or even $500 but I won nothing. The best I've done is $2 which is a 1/4 chance to win anyways so nothin special there. So don't feel bad, it's not just you.
What DOES work for me is when I am much more open with allowing the universe to dictate the HOW and the WHEN. All I focus on is WHAT I want, not how or when. For example, I might have a $5,000 debt that's bugging me that I want to pay off in one swoop so I'll focus my intention and focus on visualizing being debt free. I don't ask HOW or WHEN this happens, I just say "at it's perfect time." Then, within a short period of times (anywhere from days to perhaps a few months) this money shows up from somewhere unexpected. A boss gives me a Christmas bonus for $5000 exactly, or some stock I own goes up by $5,000 or someone offers to buy my car for $5,000 more than I bought it for, or something like that. It always comes in a different way each time.
Now I know this doesn't seem "magical" yet, it just seems like co-incidence that this money came and it would have come anyways in your line of thinking, but it's the degree with which I don't technically DO anything for the money that's "magical" and different compared to traditional ways of earning money by providing value. For example, I try to manifest $1200 and all of a sudden a week later I get a letter from the tax man saying they found a mistake on my previous years taxes and I overpaid by $1200, or something like that. Or you ask for $50 and you find $50 in your jacket pocket, not $10, not $20, not $100, but exactly $50.
One good example is when a friend of mine asked for $10 and then at lunch we went to the mall and he went to try on a pair of jeans and in the pocket he found $10. Apparently someone must have returned the jeans and left $10 in there. Weird stuff like that.
Even BETTER is to manifest what you really want, not what the money will buy. For example, if you want to buy a motorcycle for $10,000 but you only have $2,000 saved up, don't try manifesting $8,000 just go straight for the motorcycle. Maybe the universe will give you $3000 extra plus some way that you get the bike for $5,000 total brand new. The more options you give the universe, the better.
Forget lottery tickets, forget parking spots. Try manifesting signs as a beginning step. Like for example, try visualizing blue feathers, or a blue butterfly or pink flamingo's or your initials or something. At first you'll start to see things and think "Oh, it's the Reticular Activating System kicking in." but as you do it more and more you'll start to ponder the statistical probability of the frequency with which you see the thing and RAS won't cut it anymore.
Anyway, these are just baby steps I would start off anyone I was coaching to develop their manifesting skills. I would never tell them to try manifesting a winning lottery ticket as their first thing, since I can't even do those yet, but I've done a crapload of other stuff, but all with allowing the universe to sort out the HOW and WHEN of the situation. And no, it's not going to take 10 years either. Things attract pretty darn quickly.
