The "Counting Money" Technique Works

[snowflake]

I've mentioned this technique before which I got here:

YouTube - ‪Neville Goddard : Secret of Imagining Money‬‏

I just wanted to say that this technique WORKS!! I just recieved $500 in the most unexpected way today and I had counted that exact amount of money in my mind 4 days ago.

I've used this technique about 5 or 6 times and it has always worked. I like to count 20 dollar bills so what I do is if I have $20 with me, I'll look at it very carefully or if I don't have one with me, I go online and look at an image of a 20 dollar canadian bill and then I go in my bedroom, sit on the edge of my bed, close my eyes and relax and then imagine that the money is in my hands and I'm counting it... $20...$40...$60 etc. up to the amount that I want. Then I hold the stack of invisible money in my hands and I count it again. I do this several times a day for a few days and then stop.

Four days ago I only did it twice and it worked so I don't know exactly how many times you should do it but do what feels right to you.

Try it, it works for me

Hey, any port in a metaphysical storm

I don't get it lol.

I agree with you snowflake. During the worst of my financial troubles, I starting counting out invisible money onto my dining room table over and over. I would take a $20 or five twenties and count the money over and over up to, say, $1,000, pretending I actually had that many twenties. As my income increased, I would pay the ATM fee to get larger amounts of cash into my hands where I could count it. I still do this sometimes. There's something about this method that resonates with me.

Just a little joke, mostly aimed at myself - I've reached a point where I'm going to stop worrying about finding The Right Technique® and instead focus like a mad fiend on the handful that appeal to me most I might add this one into the mix at some point...

There is no right technique. The right technique is the one that gets you into the correct feeling and believing place. But that isn't the same for everybody.

If there was a right technique for everybody... it would be blaringly obvious as to what it is.

Exactly my point, one my stubborn thick skull has resisted for years Sometimes the only cure for willful blindness is weariness...

Haha! Indeed!

The famous "Just do it" technique. That is an actual, psionic technique for doing telekinesis. Ask any good telekinetic, and they will say "well i just do it".

On a different note, I do love Neville Goddards work. The counting money technique is classic goddard. To perform an imaginary action that symbolises that your desire has come to pass.

I totally agree. I think that's a primary reason for disagreement in the IM forum about what works. Different people find that different stuff works for them.

I was intrigued by this technique when I learned it (and I'm a fan of Neville Goddard, but hadn't read this particular technique). I haven't tried it yet, because I've been trying to work out how to count very LARGE quantities of money. The kind of quantities of money that is really too large to count, and which exist only as numbers in a bank account, as an idea or concept.

I am, however, inspired by this thread to try this technique for a countable amount of money. One of my mottos (which I say whenever anyone in my family finds money from an unexpected source) is "Yay for free money!"

BTW, if anyone has any ideas on how to use this technique for large amounts of money (uncountable amounts), I'd be very pleased to hear it. I haven't thought of anything workable yet.

Visualize weighing it like smugglers do.They get so much cash it would take way to long to count so they weigh it.Picture it on palletts 6' high wrapped up in plastic;-)

Oh, wow, that's brilliant. Now I'm glad I've watched all those cop shows and movies with people with questionable ethics, because I know exactly what you're talking about.

[marinik]

Or you can imagine going into your walt and counting the large packages of money as they come from the "printers". It was one of my assignments while working in the Central Bank. I would call them bricks of money and we would only count the bricks - different values for different denominations. Or even pallets.

You could send away for fake money, in 100 dollar bills, and stack them on your kitchen table. At the link below they have stacks of 50, 100 dollar bills for $2.49 a stack. So let's say you wanted to manifest $50,000 dollars, you could send away for the correct amount of stacks, and pile them on your table, actually holding all these stacks in your hands would make it more real. Then instead of counting each individual 100 dollar bill, you could count the stacks and get to your total alot quicker.

I like this method alot since it will give you a real feel for the money when holding it in your hands and if you leave the stacks on your kitchen table all the time, you'll see it day, after day, after day, and the total will become more real.

There might be cheaper ways to get stacks of money than the price you have to pay at the link, I only did one search, if you keep looking there might be better websites that sell fake money.

Pretend you're counting gold bars.

Remember to imagine them being

• extremely heavy!
• soft enough to mark with your fingernail

[snowflake]

Why not just see the money in your bank account? I did this once for $1000 and it worked.

I now want to manifest $10,000,000 and I don't see myself counting that much money lol.

That's very abstract to me. I have dyscalculia (which is something like dyslexia, but with numbers and some related topics), and to me, a bank account is just this very abstract thing. I mean, I know what the numbers mean, etc., but I can't see money in a bank account, because to me, a bank account isn't even a real "thing" at all. It's just numbers on paper...

That's why I asked for other more concrete ideas, because visualising "money" is not something I can easily conceptualise or do.

I suspect I'm not the only person who has trouble trying to imagine "money" in ways other than concrete, though, so perhaps someone else (with or without dyscalculia; it's kind of an unusual disorder) might get something from this thread.

In the meantime, I've been counting hundred dollar notes out (I find it surprisingly easy to visualise doing this), so I guess I'll see how that works out.

[snowflake]

If you can access your bank account online, you can see how much money you have and then replace that amount in your mind with the amount desired. Some people also do this with bank statements.

You could also visualize a check in your hands. I don't really like that method because to me, checks are only worth something when they are either deposited in my account or exchanged for paper money.

Yes, I'm aware. I do that all the time. (I do have to pay bills and so forth.)

I'm just not able to think of a bank account as anything concrete. To me, it's just numbers on a page. Visualising "different" numbers on a web page is pretty meaningless in my mind, and quite empty. I know what it's SUPPOSED to symbolise, etc, and I can act within the parameters of the account balances, but it just hasn't got the same meaning to me as it might have to other people.

[Rezzy7]

Imagining seeing your bank account balances on paper or online is another way to visualize this, but the point of this technique, I thought, is to have something you can physically count out in your mind, imagining you're physically touching it. (And for that matter, smelling it too, because printed money has a smell, so maybe also imagining scent helps.)

[Treplow]

Saw this post yesterday and decided to give the technique a shot. After examining a Canadian $20 bill for a couple of minutes, I closed my eyes and pictured counting $100 in bills out physically, the way I used to do it when I worked in a bank ("Twenty, forty, sixty, eighty, one hundred"). I did this three or four times, then let it go.
Later that night I met my parents and uncle at a restaurant/live music venue for desert and drinks. During our conversation, my dad mentioned that he had some legal documents that needed to be dropped off at federal court on Monday, but that he wouldn't have time to do it. He then asked me if I would mind, and handed me an envelope containing the documents...and a $100 bill ($50 for the filing fee, and $50 pay for the "courier" - me). Not only that, but when we were settling the tab at the end of the evening, I was put in charge of physically counting out everyone's contribution to make sure it all added up- which totalled $100 in 20 dollar bills.
So I believe there is definitely something to this counting technique...now to try using it for a larger amount

[CoolBee]

In Egypt, many things are paid for in cash, including homes. Almost 5 years ago, I had to go to the bank and take out approx 250000 Egyptian Pounds in 100 pound notes batched up in 10000 Egy Pound wodges (ie 100 bills per pack - not that big to be honest!). I felt like 'Robbadabank' but in reality they didn't even fill up a normal-sized sports holdall.
Given each bill is approx the same size as a dollar bill - imagine that as dollars instead, so it isn't that impossible to imagine really.

[snowflake]

That's awesome Treplow!!

I've also used the bank account method once for $1000 and recieved an unexpected $1000 check from my father so now I'm trying to use this method for a very large amount of money and I'll let you all know how that goes.

[richest]

Sounds interesting. But what about people who cannot do clear visualization like me? Is there any another way?

[Wax Frog]

For those practiced at this - am I doing any harm by sticking with the exercise even at times when my visualizing is 'fuzzy'?

Take a look at my first post in this thread, I posted a link where you can buy fake money, that looks like the real thing. You can actualy hold like, $50,000 or more in your hands this way, using fake money, it will help you visualize the real money.

[snowflake]

To richest and Wax frog:

Visualization is always fuzzy for me too. When I do the exercise, I focus more on counting the amount and feeling the money in my hands than on the details of the dollar bills. I have a good idea of what they look like but that's about it.

[Alstar]

I've used this technique before, and it's one of the few really powerful techniques that has really worked for me.

Don't try and intellectualize it like that, it obstructs the natural process. Try this:

You've just come home and inexplicably found a huge sum of money waiting for you on your table or bed or whatever. It looks like a very large amount and could be exactly how much you want, but how can you be sure? You have to count it one way or another, there's no getting around that. What's your natural inclination in order to start counting it reliably? Now, do that.

Personally I would simply count one bundle of it and then count the other number of bundles.

Holy frickin' COW!

I did this thing last night just for the hell of it, straight after some mindfulnes meditation. This morning my AdSense check arrived in the post.

OK, a bit earlier that I was expecting but not too out of the ordinary.

So I did another relaxation/mindfulness session this afternoon, and for the hell of it I thuoght I'd do the exercise again.

A few hours later, someone I was negotiating a business deal got contacted me. I hadn't heard from the company in a while and assumed "that was that", maybe I played it wrong or something. But now they get back to me with a better offer, plus some other perks I wasn't expecting either.

This is really frickin' weird!

This made me smile. Intellectualising is a habit I have yet to break. The mind starts going and off it goes. And, yes, you're completely right, it does obstruct the natural process. I need to remember to stay out of the way. Thank you for the reminder.
