Manifestation Experiment - Easy Way to Learn About LOA

[TonyToneTone]

I got inspired by ALG's post that many of us weren't shooting for large enough goals with our manifestations.

Here’s an easy exercise to get you used to the law of attraction. I got this idea from a talk by my friend Helen Gray.

Grab a pen and paper and write out three things that you would like to see in your life; one small thing, one medium thing, and one large thing. For the small thing, keep it very small, such as a sandwich or a cup of coffee. For the medium thing, make it slightly larger, such as a raise, car, vacation, etc.. For the large thing, make it BIG! Some breakthrough goal like getting a new house, getting your book published, whatever it is that would catapult you to a new level.

Mine:
Small - 6 pack abs (manifested a sandwich the first time around)
Medium - Teaching a class
Large - BMW 650i Convertible

After you decide on your three items, I want you to write them on a note card and carry them with you each day. Every time you see your note card, see yourself as having the three items. You could also spend a minute or two each day focusing on your three items and seeing them as put of your current reality. The more you focus on each item, the greater the emotion and belief back of that item will be, and the faster your manifestations will appear in your reality.

On the back of your note card you can write an affirmation to help with your manifesting. Here are a few that could work:
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”
“I can do all things through God who strengthens me”
“I can do all things”
“The universe is making my manifestations a reality”

I'm getting good at the small ones and having some success at the medium ones. Building up strength for the large ones.

note: don't post them b/c what is medium or big to me may not seem so to others. I find it important to protect my I/Ms from any negative influences.

I'm right there with ya. I'm manifesting something huge. I went back and forth about whether to post it. I decided I'd like to stay in my happy place and not let people tell me it can't be done.

I learned fast not to discuss LOA successes or intentions.

I like this method. Thanks for the link to Helen Gray too.

Hey, StacyT -- I am inspired by you because you are doing it (whatever it is )!!

Rules for manifesting:

Rule #1 - You don't struggle with the small stuff...

Rule #2 - It's all small stuff...

Happy Manifesting!

I definitely agree with this. It's crazy how later on what was once a big deal will seem so small. Congrats on being a mod Chris!

Do you mean for me not to post them? I'll take them down if you think it will help others. And I definitely agree about it being important to protect your ims.

I posted my items as the energy on here is usually really good and supportive. There are times you can share your IMs with others, just make sure that it is with the right people. I recently shared my 2nd (teaching a class) with my good friend V. There was a great location that I wanted to use for my class and V told me she could get me that location and that her sister and her would also like to go through a trial run of my class before I taught anything. Talk about support

I'm right there with ya. I'm manifesting something huge. I went back and forth about whether to post it. I decided I'd like to stay in my happy place and not let people tell me it can't be done.

That sounds good! Can't wait to see what you come up with

Your response reminded me of when I decided to get serious about going to college. I was in high school, failing all my classes and on the verge of getting thrown out. I decided that I would not only go to college but that I would go to the University of Southern California as well. I worked hard for 3 1/2 years and didn't tell a single soul aside from the two people I asked to write me recommendations.

It was a surprise to everyone when I announced I had gotten in and was moving.

I learned fast not to discuss LOA successes or intentions.

I like this method. Thanks for the link to Helen Gray too.

Glad I could be of help. Helen is awesome.

Hey, StacyT! I'm with you on trusting yourself to take the right action around your intentions. And, knowing you to be an extraordinarily powerful person, I just wanted to say that one great way of taking your manifestation power from
here to HERE
is to go into such a magnificent state of allowing that you can easily and effortlessly let people tell you it can't be done, and not make it mean anything about you and your possibilities.

Can you imagine how powerful you would be if you were to allow people to say anything at all that they want to say, to give people such a generous space of freedom that no matter what they say, you are unstoppable in your generating? And what if you could take it even a step further -- and be vibrating so positively in regard to your desires that you move, touch, and inspire even the people who have previously told you it can't be done? That would really be a happy place, wouldn't it? And you can, can't you.

Angela - I love you for saying this. I'm obviously not there yet, because I'm keeping my intentions to myself. But just the fact that you jumped into my head is awesome.

The very thing you posted is what I've been struggling with....mainly because I've told people in the past that I'm going to do X, Y and Z, and then when I didn't come through there was that "I told you so" mentality and the attitude that here comes Stacy with another crazy idea.

AND I can hear what YOU would say to that and it's this: that the "I told you so" and the "here comes Stacy with another crazy idea" is coming from myself. From my own head. I must ditch those thoughts!

I don't know if you'd have anything to add to this, but all I can say is thank you - I love your style and I've learned a lot from you!

Bravo Angela. Powerful, powerful concept!

I read a book about Christ once. He lived his life with no possessions and was executed for challenging the prevailing wisdom of his culture.

I'm not sure why you think he'd want to get you a BMW. Maybe you read a different book.

It's from Philippians 4:13. While 2 of my items are materialistic, some of the things people might write down are not. For instance, someone could be battling against cancer, or trying to save their home, or trying to stop drinking or doing drugs, or building a new life, and so on... For them, a powerful affirmation where they call on someone like Christ (or Buddha or Muhammad for the non-Chrisitans) could be of real value.

I see. You want a BMW. He wanted to be nailed to a cross. How nice we all get what we want.

You have a right to your spritual beliefs. But they don't stem from Gautama "life is suffering" Buddha or Jesus "eye of the needle" Christ, and are largely antithetical to their teachings.

If someone is Christian and wanted to attract something positive into their life, and called upon their power and faith in Christ, I would have no problem with that, regardless of whether it would be a healthier body, a new house, or even a new car.

If anyone's beliefs are antithetical to their teachings, it would be yours. If you really understood what they taught, then you would see that you could have want you want in life.

I already have what I want in life. I got it without manifesting. If you want more than you have, and manifesting works for you, wonderful.

I haven't said what I believe. It isn't particularly relevant.

But I don't determine the meaning of Christianity, or Buddhism. The Buddha taught to let go of attachment. The things that the Buddha taught were positives were selflessness and enlightenment, which are the opposite of focusing attachments. In the Bible, almost no one gets what they want materially. Read the Book of Job sometime. Christ taught that the positive to be sought was the Kingdom of Heaven, to be attained by focus on the poor and a healthy dose of self-sacrifice.

There isn't anything wrong with wanting a BMW. I hope you get it, if it makes you happy. I am hardly out of line in noting that such a request has no support in either Christianity or Buddhism.
