Ok....I haven't read all the latest and greatest on affirmations..BUT
I've been doing them for 17 years now, so I think that should count.
But I have a question about what the books and tapes teach you about affirmations/manifestions.....is your 11 minutes/working to 30 minutes all on ONE thing...one thing you're trying to create??
I do 30 minutes a day, but I cover my whole life...all areas: physical, spiritual, relationships, emotional, financial and professional.
One thing I've learned is that each manifestation needs some emotion and enough time to visualize it.
As far as a good, clear manifestation about a "chick"....I'm pretty sure you can visualize just what you want and then create it yourself...come on...I know ya can!!!!
(I have a 36-25-35 blond hair blue-eyed beauty in my life. This perfect companion has a good sense of humor and is a fun loving person. She loves the outdoors and we spend quality time together hiking and biking. She makes me laugh and brings great joy to others. She is extremely sensitive to my needs and is very helpful. She is in incredible shape and inspires me to stay in great shape. She is my best friend and confident. We enjoy spending time together. She senses when I am discouraged or frustrated, and demonstrates her endless love by dropping whatever is on her agenda to spend some time with me. She gives me little gifts to show me that ehe is thinking of me and likes to hold hands. She gives me a big hug and kiss every time she departs or when we meet again.)
Giggling hysterically....because OBVIOUSLY that is a true role-reversal. Men want different things. I just change HE to SHE to amuse you

Hope it worked :P
