The "Counting Money" Technique Works

[geniegal]

OK update froom Monday where I had manifested £170 out of the £300

since thhen a JV partner tells me I made £39 and the client wants another £50 job doing

= £259 so far - magic!

Something has struck me which is that I imagined counting out £20 notes, which I do anyway 2 -3 times a month because hub gives me his household co tribution in £20 notes, anything from £160 to £300 at a time.

So it might be worth actually counting out in reality the amonunt you want to manifest . For excample if you get paifd 10 days before your bills go out, you have 10 days to practise counting those notes.

Go geniegal!

Thanks AngelPsychic444. So there are not only angels for everything, there are angels for various aspects of everything, too?

Ok, I get you then.

One thing I've done was to get a friend to photoshop a picture of me against an image of literally millions of dollars in bundles of cash piled up behind me so it looks like I'm right there standing in front of it. I keep it in my room where I can see it everyday, and have written notes of thanks to the universe for providing it. It helps to give the feeling that it is already a reality...but I'm still not there yet. Stick-to-it-iveness, eh waxy?

[geniegal]

Update 2... someone asked me to a £100 job for them which means I have now manifested MORE than I intended

Got £150 out of the bank today in £50 notes so I can get used to having them on me and counting them. Not going to try to manifest anything with these - or any other notes yet - I have a strong intuition I need to wait. Like my psyche needs a rest or something.

Anyway it was funny because the cashier commented how nice the notes looked! Like she was tuning into my reason for gettiing them.

Right you are, luci! I think I might be close to day 45 of the "Money Meditations", but I have lost count and don't care, I'm doing my 'exercises' until something shifts, so there! Hah! If I get tired of "feeling thooo good to be thwimming in all thith munny <j/k>" I will just record my own script or give Ganesha a try

I did a money-rain picture once, maybe I should reprint it with me in the middle!

I would like to contribute this awsome exercise with 'final touch' and that is emotions nothing gets created without emotions , visualizing is a simple mechanics in the processes of the mind but if you put in emotions you get a mighty force, and just to remind emotions are the only thing that your subconscious mind accepts, it contains the essence of your desire, doesn't matter how big or small.
Here is how to do it, find a experience in your life that you always feel happy and excited about when you think about it, get in too relive it again for minute or two, while in that state of mind charged with good emotions and feelings then and only then start visualizing your current objective, counting money or visualizing your bank statement with large amount of money.

Peace
Stay in the flow and use the force

[Rezzy7]

Good reminder about emotions, IvicaMijatovic. Thanks.

I just realized today that one could count to the Mahalaxmiyei mantra so that it goes well with counting out money. You can divide it however you like, this works for me:

1. Om
2. Shreem Hreem
3. Shreem
4. Kamale
5. Kamalalayei
6. Praseed
7. Praseed
8. Om
9. Shreem Hreem
10. Shreem
11. Mahalaxmiyei
12. Namaha

So by the time you've reached 108 times through the mantra you've counted out 1,296 bills, or $129,600 in $100 bills. I haven't tried making it all the way through all 108x yet, it could get mentally tiring for all I know.

Someone please let us know if you end up manifesting this amount!!

I'm not sure this is true. Emotions come from the ego. It's the ego that sees things as negative or positive but it's consciousness that creates. Consciousness always sees things as neutral. Things exist no matter how I feel about them. The sky is blue whether I'm happy or sad.

I've manifested money even when I was pissed off I don't think having emotions will hurt the manifestation process but I'm not sure they are necessary.

That's so true about manifesting money when it comes to emotions and how necessary they are. To me it seem's to be a matter of having a vivid picture in your mind's-eye and also having a calm mind that is the key to manifesting money.

Aham emotions will charge your subconscious mind to stay on target, no matter what, some masters call it prioritizing, when i add emotions to my target in a certain way im giving soul and heart so to speak to my current objective , something that i can relate to something that has place in my heart , so my subconscious mind likes it, in fact he likes it a LOT . and what he likes he always brings about also one more very important thing to add in favor of emotions, you see when you are working on target consciously you will want to do it because you know you will feel good about it, its not gonna be some boring task you have to perform 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening, its gonna be your time in the day when you really feel alive and in the flow .
People often quit on their target cause they didn't add emotional charge to it
I think i overdid this 'emotions' thing

I like Rezzy's ide. Will try it with Mahalaksmi!

I tried it on my last count-fest, and it wasn't tough at all chanting while counting. Part of the time I actually moved my hands to mime the actual counting, and once I got the sense memorized I visualized it from that point.

Here's a question for everybody:

Do you "start fresh" with "zero" each time you do your money count, or do you imagine that you're picking up where you left off? Like, I envision there is already tons of money that I've counted from previous sessions in a drawer somewhere nearby, or even out on the table near the spot I'm stacking the bucks from the current count session. This probably doesn't matter, but it's fun, and might be useful for those who are interested in giant amounts that are "harder" to count all at once.

I love this idea. For me, adding up emotions is hardwork, I can barely feel such emotions of happiness when I visualize or affirm out loud my desires. And like snowflake does, I also often manifest something good when I don't feel good. So is it the matter of consciousness shift?

[Becky911]

If you have difficulty visualizing just be relaxed about it and focus on the feeling of satisfaction and express appreciation and thanks for the amount you counted mentally as if it is already in your hands.

It's amazing to me that some people are able to create good things even if they don't feel good, so it's great you can. I have sometimes had a hard time of mustering up emotions, so I can relate. For me it is usually a matter of practice in remembering when I've had those emotions. Also challenging while going through depression, but doable. Many people say adding emotional charge to visualizing gives it a boost. So imagine the effect you'll have once you're getting that going. For me that would be exciting enough to start the flow.

This is helpful. Non-visual people sometimes are concerned, because we use the word visualize even though it's referring to more than just the visual imagery.

I'm super-highly-visual, but sometimes I have trouble picturing a thing. So another thing that helps me is just sensing in some other way, and trusting and knowing that the Universe gets my intention.

Use white paper. Use playing cards. Use dominoes. Use stones. Use anything—or just visualize. This technique is pure magic. Magic, in essence, consists of 3 parts: Intention, Experience, and Performance. Start with the experience—freely choose one: a dance to perform, a hymn to chant, a voodoo doll to stick pins in, or just your playing cards to count. Then set the intention (or decision): Simply decide that by, say, counting your playing cards, you'll win the total amount of $xxxx. Finally the performance: Perform the act or undergo the experience, i.e. count the playing cards.

Now as you count the cards, focus on that. Be fully present and attentive, aware you're counting them. Your focus is on the counting, not the cards. In other words, you don't need to pretend they are money, nor do you need to be in an altered state of consciousness. Why? Simply because you've already decided beforehand that counting the cards = winning the money. This is the whole point in magic. The purpose of magic is to create new realities. The only problem, therefore, is that magic is too simple. And the only question that we may ever need to answer, what's real?

What's real, in magic, is what you experience. In this view, you're for example broke only because you experience lack and poverty. You're rich only because you experience wealth and abundance. You're sick because you experience disease, or healthy because you don't. Your Mind only confirms what you experience and sustains it. Thus, when you visualize undergoing a different experience, even if only in your imagination, you start confusing your Mind. And when you do it for long enough, your Mind finally alters your old reality—needless to say according to the new one you just kept experiencing.

But, visualization is difficult for most people, and it's hard to keep your wild mind focusing for long enough. So instead of visualization, the people of the past invented another amazing technology and called it magic. They only discovered one crucial truth that we seem to have missed for so long. They simply realized that our world is a world of symbols, and that we only give these symbols their meaning. Literally everything is a symbol. Therefore, they figured out, if we alter or expand the meaning of a symbol then experience it, by this experience itself we can create new realities. For example, if sticking pins in a doll means harming someone at a distance, or someone they can't directly harm, then by merely sticking the pins, by merely experiencing this, reality is altered and harming the target is now real, no longer a thought or merely a wish—simply because it's now being experienced.

Now counting your playing cards is probably meaningless. But you can mentally give it a meaning, or rather decide a meaning: Counting the cards = winning some money. Thus once you start counting the cards, you start the experience—rather of winning money. Your Mind, given your intention, or decision, translates this act as winning money and no longer as merely counting playing cards. And now winning money is an experience, thus real. In other words, your Mind can't ignore the fact that you've already experienced wealth—even if all you've done was counting the cards. This is the beauty of this technology and what magic is all about. Some perform rites, others use dolls. Some cast spells, others count cards, or even plain white paper.


Will it really work like this?

No, it won't. But for only one reason: usually we're not ready to accept such amazingly simple, easy and fun life—the reason magic itself had to become full of complication, mystery and even fear. So it needs practice. After you perform your act of magic, undergo the experience of your choice, you have to forget all about it and just stay 1,000,000% sure it will work no matter what. This is the practice and what we have to learn. There is no such thing as better technique, and there is absolutely no laws or rules in magic but only those we create. Therefore, you have to go SURE it will work, because by Law it shall. We have to believe that manifestation is mathematically certain. Instead what we often do is that we keep wondering: will it work? How would it? And of course, when? Now keeping wondering, inquiring, checking, and waiting reflects only a mental state, of doubt, itself an act of magic whose result usually manifests fast—giving us a reality of more and more doubt, and more and more waiting.

* * *

There are some details that I had to drop, of course, and I'd also like to take this subject a bit further, but it's already very lengthy by now. In a nutshell, however, everything in your life could be magical if you just ascribed new meaning to it. Your bath or shower in the morning, for example, could be a complete banishing rite: "As this water runs over my body," you just decide, "it will purify me from every disease," or "wash my doubts," or "take my weakness/sadness/shyness/debts with it," etc. Now if we take this even further we'll just discover that our entire life is but a continuous act of magic—of ascribing meanings to symbols, whether in our favor or against our interests. In this view, LOA, EFT, Chakras, Matrix Energetics, Busting Loose' The Process... all are magical models that always consist of the same 3 components of magic above mentioned. All are systems of ascribing meanings to symbols—sometimes quite haphazardly. All succeed, like magic, if we believe they will, and all without exception fail if we don't.

So obviously, as I just mentioned in the beginning, it all boils down to one and only one question: How could we define reality? What the heck is real?

So far, this technique has been entirely unhelpful. I don't know why I can manifest all kinds of other stuff (relationships of all kinds, a family, a whole new life, all sorts of stuff, really, from very minor things like finding my shoes or getting a good parking place to very major shifts of life circumstance), but I cannot seem to manifest money.

In fact, the more I think about money, the less I seem to have of it. It's BIZARRE. I've been trying to sort this one out for years, what sort of belief structure is in place with regard to money, and while I've eliminated a lot of things, I still haven't got to the bottom of this one. All I can think is that it must go very deep.

I wonder if I can just eliminate the belief that I have a limiting belief...

[Rezzy7]

Great post, Monk, I like it. We are free to ascribe whatever meaning to whatever we want, and you're right, the idea fits LOA, ME, etc. easily.

So I think I'm going to use "buying a lottery ticket" as my symbol, and give it the meaning, "win the jackpot"! Actually, I guess I already have done that, so it's a matter of the other part you mentioned.

I hear you CaterpillarWoman...it is odd for me too, that I seem to "unconsciously" create so many random, undirected things, but consciously not. Well, until NOW.

This was so totally my situation when I found this forum as I was desperately seeking answers. It took me awhile to unravel my belief structure about money and I got to feeling really hopeless watching other people on the forum move on to success (or greater success) while no matter what I did, nothing worked. The word "bizarre" truly fit.

But I kept counting You haven't even been using this technique a full month yet and you originally were talking about wanting to count such large amounts you couldn't figure out how to do it. I'd suggest count out amounts that you can truly see yourself being able to count out on your kitchen table in the near future. Twenties, hundreds, whatever. You can build from there.

P.S. While I was trying to post, there was that server issue we have around here sometimes, and I went to make coffee and thought, hmmmm, that's CaterpillarWoman making the server crash so I can't post any words of encouragement

[snowflake]

Caterpillar, is there a small amount of money you would really like to have right now like maybe $100? Start small and then when you have success, it will give you so much confidence. The technique is simple so there's no need to make it more complicated. Just sit down somewhere, close your eyes and count $20 bills. Feel it while you're doing it, look at the money, count...$20...$40...$60...$80...$100... then pick up your invisible money, feel it in your hands and count it again. Then put the money somewhere safe and go on with your day. Then count it again later on. Simple. It's not about emotions or beliefs about money, only conscious awareness is the secret to manifestation.

What about those of us where it WAS about emotions and beliefs about money?

[ButterflyWoman]

I disagree. My every life experience has indicated to me that beliefs DO matter when it comes to reality creation, i.e., manifestation. If you don't believe something can happen, it can't. If you believe that it's difficult, it will be. If you believe that it happens to other people but not to you, that's how it will happen.

Emotions may or may not play a role, but beliefs are the very structure of our personal reality. I have seen for myself that changing or eliminating beliefs causes changes in my reality. I have no reason to think that suddenly, when it comes to money (as opposed to love, relocation, free plane tickets, children, etc etc), beliefs play no role at all.

If it were actually as simple as me just "being conscious" of what I want, I'd be a billionaire by now, because this is something I've been reading, thinking, praying, meditating, and working on for some years. I can't tell you how many books on the topic of manifestation (particularly manfiesting money) I've read! And I've watched videos, paid for recorded materials and e-books and you name it. I'm so well-versed in these concepts that it's almost scary (and I very much regret having spent so much time and money on it, given that almost none of it has been directly useful or helpful).

Clearly, there's more to it than being conscious, and the fact that when I put my focus on money it ends up that I have LESS money on hand and LESS money available is a pretty good indicator that, in this case, putting conscious energy on the topic of "money" is not yielding "more" but "less".

I have reasons for wanting a lot of money (and it's not greed or avarice). I know you didn't say anything negative or even imply it, of course.

I find $1 and $2 coins with some regularity. I always say, "Yay for free money!" That's the extent of "extra" money I seem to be able to generate.

Given the extent of other things I've manifested, I'm quite puzzled by the whole money thing, to be honest. I mean, I manifested not one but THREE completely free plane tickets from the U.S. to Australia (and back, and then back to Australia), in the span of a couple of years. I manifested a dream job. I manifested the most perfect life partner anyone could imagine (perfect for me, anyway). I could give a big long list of stuff I've manifested, that I've caused to manifest purely by my intention, even before I knew what "deliberate creation" was.

But money? Nup. Something going on there. I just wish I could figure out what it is so I can get rid of it and get on with my life. (I think there's probably a belief that money is "difficult to get" along with a bunch of other stuff).

Wanting a lot of money is fine! I'm just suggesting counting out twenties or hundreds rather than bundles since so far you haven't been having (apparent) success with the technique. I don't know what amount you've been counting, and I don't need to know, but I think it does help to build up to a large amount if your subconscious mind can't make that instantaneous giant leap to bazillions.

Have you tried brainstorming for your negative beliefs about money? Like writing "I have problems generating money because . . . " "I believe money is . . . " "If I had a lot of money that would mean . . . "

Some of my negative beliefs were more obvious while others were deeply ingrained and almost hidden. And it has been a pervasive thing with me, that I'm still uncovering and dealing with beliefs (and emotions, too) about money a few years into this journey.

Yes. *sigh* Some of it makes sense but mostly I just get taken back to my childhood when my parents lived very hand-to-mouth and had to buy food on the credit card because they never had any money on hand. I've even tried forgiving them, and while it made me feel better in general, it didn't help with the money thing.

*nod* I hear you. On your advice, I'm going to brainstorm some more. I'll do it with pen and paper (much more tactile) and see what turns up. Thank you for the support.

It's not about thinking or believing, it's about knowing.

Which one of these statements is the most powerful?

1- I think I have $100

2- I believe I have $100

3- I know I have $100

There was someone who used to come here by the name of Tom Booth who said that everything in our life is of our own manifestation - the chair you're sitting on, the computer you are writing on, your house, the trees, the sky etc. Things seem to always be the same because we expect them to be. I expect my car to be the same color it was yesterday when I open my garage door, therefore it is. My knowing that my car is red, not my thinking, not my believing, but my knowing makes it so.

You don't have any money because you know you don't. What if you knew you did? Your conscious awareness would shift to "knowing you have money". There are no emotions in the manifestation of the things around you so why should there be about money or anything else you want to manifest? Even the word manifestation is erroneous. Everything already exists but your conscious awareness makes it seem like it just appeared when it was already there but outside of your perception.

I think the point of calling them 'beliefs' is to acknowledge that they should have less power than they seem to. But actually, they are forms of knowing, which is why they can be so difficult to overcome.

For instance, let's say I know that a desire for money leads lots and lots of people to 'sell out' and not do what they love and instead take on some mundane job so they can have good pay and benefits. Let's say I've known this since junior high and I made a decision in junior high that I would never 'sell out' for money. And this got all jumbled up with some other knowledge that hardly anybody makes money doing what they love, and since I won't sell out, the odds are real high I'd never make money, which is fine because then I will be authentic.

All this sort of gunk and much more that got instilled at an early age was much more powerful than all the affirmations and everything else I did involving 'knowing' I had $100 or $1000 or whatever amount.
