I don't add anything to them but add them to other things. I put them in Oatmeal, onto sandwiches with my normal spreads. I've not tried eating them seperately.

Default I got my ipod!

My MP3 player broke and I wanted to upgrade to an ipod. I didn't want to purchase one because money is tight right now. A few weeks ago I thought about receiving an ipod, and then just went on my way without thinking about it again.

My mom just called me this morning and asked me if I wanted an ipod (brand new in the box) because someone gave it to her and she already had one. Of course I said yes!

After visualizing : Being slim and wieghing 50kg

Uncontrollable emotional eating has been an Issue for me as well as no motivation to exercise... after the visualization for the last few days "Find" myself eating way less calories, more healthy food and "Find" Myself exercising more.

A few weeks ago was visualizing 100 dollar notes doing it realistically, feeling them in my hands, feeling them brush against me, smelling them, seeing the colours and the 100 sign on them.

I won $300 at a workshop and got 3 $100 notes.

Also where keeping my room tidy was an issue for me now "find" myself keeping my room tidy and nice

I posted this to another thread, but it's a significant enough manifestation that I wanted to post it here:

One of my cats got really sick at the very end of March. His kidneys suddenly shut down, and he ended up at an emergency vet clinic, on IV fluids, for five days.

For the first two days, I honestly thought I was going to have to have the poor guy put down; he was in really bad shape. His bloodwork wasn't noticeably improving, either. I spent those two days getting used to the idea that I wasn't going to bring him home alive, and that his time was up. But at the same time I wanted him to come home, and wasn't going to give up easily.

I went in to visit him, and he was so withdrawn and sickly--I was just wrecked with grief at the thought of letting him go. But I petted him as much as he would allow, then told him, "If you want to go, I'll help you do that. But I hope you'll decide to stay, instead." And then the thought of money came to mind, and I immediately started to feel tense about it. I caught myself, however, and recognized what I was doing. And then I told him, "I don't care about the money--it doesn't matter; I'd rather have you around instead. If you can be helped, I'll pay whatever it costs to do that." The moment I'd finished saying that, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. All of a sudden, I felt like things might just work out okay.

The day after I made that promise, I found out that my application to refinance my mortgage at a lower interest rate had been approved, and I would be saving a huge amount of money over the life of the loan, as well as enjoying lower payments. Which was nice, because by the time the cat turned the corner, stabilized, and was released from the emergency vet the bill was about $2300. I paid it cheerfully. I was getting to take my cat home alive, after all.

We've since spent another $500 at my regular vet and on prescriptions in the last 10 days, and--you know, I don't even flinch anymore. I just pay the vet bills, like I promised I would. The cat is doing amazingly well, and while I'm dosing him with meds, I'm also visualizing him as healthy, and focusing on how he's improving every day (and he is).

Today I went to the post office--I hadn't cleared out my PO box in a couple of weeks--and in the box was an unexpected check. The check was written the day I brought the cat home from the emergency clinic, and it was for $2100. I wasn't expecting it at all, but there it was. And the very first thought I had was, "Hey, I'm getting paid back for that vet bill!"

The people standing in line to mail their taxes must have thought I was losing my mind as I stood there, laughing myself silly...
The cat is still doing incredibly well, by the way. He's full of energy, and back to his normal self.

I'm staying focused on him as a healthy cat (who just happens to need some meds and sub-q fluids at the moment so that he can more easily come back into alignment with that). I give my attention to how he's improving and feeling good, and in the moments when he's not feeling as good I just deal with it and move on. The vets' initial diagnosis was for a chronic condition, but I've had the overwhelming sense that it is not--that it is, in fact, something that can be reversed, and is in the process of reversing itself.

That doesn't mean I disregard the vets--thanks to them, he was able to pull through the initial crisis, and thanks to them I have the means to help him out and make him much more comfortable. If the cat needs help, he gets it, and will for as long as he needs it. But I'm not going to allow myself to get pulled into "battling a chronic and incurable illness with no hope" frame of mind--once I do that, I cut us both off from the possibility of change.

Extra money that I wasn't expecting. -- $1800.

Extra money that I wasn't expecting. -- $4000.

I started last week to put aside all the extra "found" $ and change, planning for it to double daily... It has way more than doubled daily! Did you know that doubling a penny for a month will net you $1million?

Default Cars....

I needed my car a few days ago very much. Had to pick up a special friend from the airport that is 80km from where I live. But my husband came home and said that his company car was acting funny and that he had too leave it at home and take my SUV to work the next day. He commutes 200km a day and is this "big shot"...very important person... I was devastated for a moment and then I went to bed and decided that before morning I will have at least 4-5 cars as an option to go to the airport. As I woke up I found 2 offers on my answering machine to test drive cars for 2 days a Toyota and an Audi, and a offer for a cheap limo service. Ha!!!! But my husbands car was picked up by a guy from his company and returned back within and hour all cleaned and polished with a message that is was fine. The most interesting part was that I was telling my friend, that I was picking up, about my husbands car - a very powerful, exclusive, sports car - about how sexy the sound of the engine is, like driving a plain, and that I would love to give him a ride in it some day (which was almost impossible as it was always driven by my husband, who is never home, and when he is does not like it driven by anybody else).

So I got 4 cars, and the "test" drive of the powerful machine with my friend in it, along a no speed limit highway!!!!!!!

I had posted about how I easily manifest parking spots daily in a small busy elementary school parking lot. Well, recently I decided to take it a step further. I start affirming safe, easy driving, that there's more than enough time to get to school, etc. etc.

Not only that, but when the line to the school gets backed up and I'm at the intersection, I let people in who are stopped at the stop sign waiting to get in. I also let slow people go in front of me.

This wasn't easy at first, because I'm naturally an impatient person (perhaps it stems from my previous belief that there's not enough time to do things?). But what I've noticed is that now other people are letting ME cut in front of them, and despite letting slow people go in front of me, I still get a parking spot and have plenty of time to get to school. So the more I delay and pretend that I have all the time in the world, the more it results in me actually having more time.

Now I'm trying the same approach to finances. I've gotten in the habit since I've been a stay-at-home mother to cut every expense to the bone. Although I don't like shopping, I've really taken expense-cutting too far, to the point that I think it contributes to a scarcity consciousness.

So I'm using various affirmations and prayers while I buy the slightly more expensive things grocery-shopping (whereas before, I would only buy the cheapest organic produce that was on sale, even if it was only a 30 cent per-pound difference in apples, for example, and I liked the one that wasn't on sale).

I belong to some buyer's clubs where we get discounts by collectively making large purchase amounts. I'm thinking about quitting them for a while, even though the savings are considerable.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the "bad" economy! Can I pretend my way to riches?

This week I've been thinking thoughts of abundance. "I am so grateful that abundance flows freely and frequently into my life", "I have more than enough money", "I am so grateful to be wealthy" etc.

Yesterday I saw an abundance of dogs! 7 dogs came up to the cafe I was sitting outside as I was drinking my morning coffee!! Each dog seemed to attract another haha

Although they were dogs and not cheques or money, I feel it was a sign from the Universe that I am on the right track

just a small one - but I was playing solitaire on the computer and I played the game and got stuck and couldnt win. Dealt the cards again. I kept getting stuck and couldnt win. Dealt the cards again. 5 times.

After that I visualized a little and made myself feel comfortable with winning the game, I saw the end of the game, let it feel natural and normal.

That game I won, and finished the game extremely fast too!

On myspace I uploaded some new photos...no-one had posted any pic comments all day (and I have about 1500 friends on that profile at the moment)

Anyway...so no-one had posted pic comments on my photos all day and I was a bit dissapointed....I guess because I was having a bit of a laze about do nothing day and kept checking the internet, hence why I wanted to see some comments!

Just now I took a moment to calm down and visualize what I wanted, feeling the relief, relaxation

I refreshed the page..... There it was...new photo comments... had 3 new comments from 2 different people

I just started to visualize what I wanted in my life. I want to attract really hot looking women to date or LTR. On a scale of one to 10. I never ever bother with anything 0ver a 7 in my life time in this looks scale of mine. However the other day, I had a fine looking 9 to 10 younger looking woman come up and give me a compliment about what A cute looking kid I have. I did nothing to attract her, like smile at her or anything. She came over to where I was standing. After I picked myself up off the floor.(joking) I talked a little with her. I think I need to start getting my radar tuned up and how to respond to that type of situation. Still can't believe this. This has never even come close to happening to me before. All I can say is, Thank you universe, for responding in far more grander ways than I could even imagine. WOW WOW WOW

Default luxury furniture

Well I was doing a little bit of visualization today, just keeping it relaxed and imagining certain things and a way of life as normal for me. One of the sort of signals I was sending out.... "Luxury, this is normal for me"

Later on in the day we went to a shopping centre (not the one we usually go to) I just wanted to buy some new shoes but after that my dad says "come have a look at this furniture" At the shops there is a little store with some of the most beautiful furniture I have ever seen. There are mainly table and chair sets, tables have marble top and very detailed extravagant looking wood underneath. We have shopped for table and chair sets etc for our new home before and only found plain general wood ones, which we thought were nice at the time, but these plain ones were even more expensive than these new extravagant pieces of furniture we found today!

We liked a table which was cream in the middle and a greenish colour around the edge, mostly Jade with some marble, only $2300 around about (australian) for this large round table which fits 8 chairs around it, with the chairs as well.

Maybe this is a normal price for this item but the furniture certainly looked extravagant! I commented that we would feel like royalty with a table like this.
We also got a matching coffee table (same extravagant design with marble and jade) for only $300

And also a matching hallway or thin table that you could put near your entrance etc in the matching design.

My dad prompty bought them all as they were such a good price and he loved the colour of the jade and marble which would match the light green and white/cream colours of our new house.

I'm looking forward to seeing the lovely furniture in our new home I'm very grateful for such beauty and such nice crafting of the furniture!

Default trichotillomania almost cured

If you don't know what trichotillomania is, it is compulsive plucking of body hair. Which is NOT ok when you are compulsively doing it to your eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair on your head!

It is uncontrollable and frustrating......it seems 100 percent out of your control.... you just "find" your hand going up and before you know it it has plucked out a hair in a spot you do not want no hair.

A bit like a smoking addict....their hand may start automatically reaching for cigarettes...its difficult for them to stop too..or at least it seems that way.

Anyway, my problem was on one of my eyebrows. It had a wide bare patch of skin in the middle! Because i had always got this IRRISISTABLE urge to pluck there...it gives you so much pleasure to pluck it out in whatever spot. Like smoking, it relieves stress and you get addicted to it.
It was embarassing, you could see in some photos i had some eyebrow missing, and whenever I could I'd cover the area with black pencil eyeliner. I was afraid to look at people for long in case they would notice and think why is half of her right eyebrow missing!

So, I visualized in a few weeks time my eyebrow being full and bushy and normal and feeling it. I felt that this was normal for me. I felt that this was what i was used to, my comfort zone.

Along with some motivation techniques I actually found in a diet book for resisting food (which i think the visualizing attracted) my urges COMPLETELY DISSAPEARED.

Its bout 1 or 2 weeks later. My other eyebrow is almost completely grown back to normal.

Default Is IM acountable for coincidences?

Something very interesting happened in the last 3 minutes.

I had a business appointment with a financial expert set for 2.30 this afternoon, however, the guy had not confirmed our meeting and I didn't have his personal number (still don't, or so I thought) and the person who had necessitated this appointment was not picking up their phone. Argh!!!I said a little prayer and asked for the meeting to somehow take place.

A few minutes later, my contact person calls to confirm that the meeting is still on!!! Since I hadn't quite caught the name of the financial expert, I asked and the name i got sounded really familiar.. I told this person by passing that this guy could be my good friend's brother in law..incidentally this contact person, myself and my good friend were classmates in Uni. I called up my good friend only to confirm that the guy is indeed the person I thought he was. Funny thing, now that it is is him, I actually have his number. It is true therefore that whatever you ask for comes to pass in ways not short of magical. I am not very close friends with the financial expert but we have met severally. He still doesn't know it is me he is meeting at 2.30.. Can't wait to see his reaction.. hehe.

Something else I love about IM is that it never fials.. it takes its time but it always delivers.

Am intending a job that pays me a figure X that i feel I deserve and that is possible to earn. I have every indication that this is going to happen in ways that I cannot yet imagine. I believe that God is my provider and He will never let me down...

hadn't really visualized for weeks about receiving abundance. This morning I visualize for quite a while about receiving abundance...I was imagining not just for me, but abundance for everyone.

Then this evening my Nanna rings up. She received some money from the government and has an envelope for me to come over and collect. She is giving the money out to her family.

Why, did I not receive money for the last few weeks...ONLY when I visualize and change my signalling...it happens.

Default My chick pad

I recently accepted a position (which I manifested) and part of my agreement was that I would relocate to a new area about 2 hours away from where I live now.

My plan was to get an apartment temporarily while I survey the new area looking for my new permanent home. I had a vision in mind of what I wanted (think Carrie Bradshaw's apartment, Sex in the City). Well, I found (manifested) the perfect place! The only problem was that it did not have air conditioning. I would be subleasing the apartment for the summer and I was very concerned about that. I looked at a few more places but nothing felt as homey as the place without air. I have to pay rent and a mortgage this summer and did not want to spend more money for an air conditioner.

I decided to just take the apartment I liked and figure something out for climate control. Two days before I was supposed to move in, the lessor called me and said she has an air conditioner for me.

So I manifested being cool.

I manifested a $1200 check. It actually was almost filed away with receipts/bill payments. It was a refund from escrow on mortgage payments. How does it get any better than that?

I've finally done away with my allergies.

A little over two weeks ago, I woke up with heavy sinus pressure and the beginnings of a headache. Since it's spring, and there is a lot of pollen in the air, this was not an uncommon occurrence. During the past five years my allergies haven't been as bad as they used to be, but they have still made me miserable.

I had no antihistamines on hand, so I tried doing my usual quick white-light meditation to drain my sinuses and alleviate the pressure. Nothing happened. So I ended up going about my business.

Later that morning, I'd finished the first big task of the day and I decided to stop at Starbucks for coffee, and to pick up antihistamines at a neighboring drug store. My face still felt like it had wet wool packed into the front of it.

But as I pulled into a parking space, I got it into my head to try using affirmations first--they've worked on other things; why not this? So I pulled out my notebook and a pen, and began to write. I filled one side of a page with the first positive statement that came to mind--"I am now free of all allergies." When I was done writing, I sat there and read each written line out loud, underscoring the "all" in each sentence for emphasis.

Nothing happened. Oh, well.

But before I put my notebook away, I got another flash of inspiration. I turned the page over and began to write, "I am grateful for my abundant good health," over and over again. And I didn't have to read that statement out loud, because by the time I reached the bottom of the page my sinus pressure was completely gone, and my nose had nearly stopped dripping (and that was done in another 15-20 minutes). I was so into writing the gratitude statement that I didn't even notice getting better until I stopped.

In the two weeks since, I've put it to the test. I used to have a terrible time driving along one stretch of highway because the Scotch broom (one of my worst allergy triggers) is in bloom. And the next time I drove down that stretch of road, an hour or so after writing those affirmations, I started to feel symptoms again. But the affirmation came right back into my head--"I am now free of all allergies"--and that was it. The symptoms immediately receded. It was amazing. I've since driven past all that pretty yellow Scotch broom maybe a dozen times, with no reaction at all.

Since that day, I have had no allergy symptoms whatsoever. I've tackled jobs around the house that normally would reduce me to drippy, oozy, stuffy misery--cleaning out the garage (dust, mold, pollens) and weeding the front yard (yet more pollens, plus skin reactions to specific weeds)--and...nothing. Yes, I've sneezed occasionally because dust was an irritant, but I've had no histamine reactions at all. I now wake up every morning able to breathe through my nose, without my eyes gummed shut, and not having to clear my throat before I can talk.

I'm still a bit stunned by all of this, to say the least.

That's really amazing!

I wonder if getting into a place of gratitude gave your affirmations a boost of some kind? I'll have to remember to try that.

Danger Man and I flew up to Seattle Tuesday to hear the marvelous musician Goran Bregovic and his wedding and funeral orchestra. We bought tickets online, and at that late date, day before the show, it was almost sold out and we got seats way, way up in the nosebleed section -- almost the last row. We didn't mind; we were so excited to be there to hear him, and it is a small theater; we were just beside ourselves with glee.

Danger Man created some free airline tickets, we Pricelined ourselves into a luxury hotel a couple of blocks from the theater for almost nothing, and the weather in Seattle was glorious -- actually hot!

As wonderful as all this was, the part that blew us away is as follows: we walked over that afternoon to get a look at the empty theater, met the owner, and checked for an upgrade on our tix. The best available were much better -- down on the main floor, back 8 rows. But -- on, no! someone grabbed them quicker than we did! So we tried again, asking for best available, and up popped tickets exactly in the center of the front row. Wha?!? What are the odds against THAT? Snapped them up, and as we left, we ran into one of the musicians in the band and had a delightful conversation with him! Yay! We were on cloud nine.

The concert itself was -- astonishing. It was the most exciting, compelling, inspiring, JOYFUL show I have ever seen, and I've seen quite a few. This fellow, Goran Bregovic, is like no one else -- such a genius, such an artist, such a Generator. The people in the audience, mostly Eastern European people, were warm, loving, hospitable, generous, and overflowing with joy to be there. The people around us told us that they had stood in line to get these tickets months ago. And there DM and I were, a few yards away from our beloved Bregovic, so close it seemed he was singing and playing directly for us.

It felt magical.

This is an important post because sometimes I forget to manifest, and just focus on feeling good.... This is important, but you all are reminding me that specifics are also important.

Thank you.

Angela,
Right now I feel very LUCKY after reading your post. One rainy night in Brooklyn about two or three weeks ago, was walking around Prospect Park. As I was walking, two Eastern European men asked me where the Bandshell is. I directed them and asked who was performing. They told me Goran Bregovic and asked if I had heard of him. I had not. As I got closer to the Bandshell, I could hear the very upbeat music and really enjoyed it. It was a free concert that was very well attended even in the rain. And I can understand why you are such a fan... that night felt very magical to me.

Wow! That must have been wonderful! I will see every possible show when he comes back to the U.S., including New York -- maybe I'll see you then!
