What Have You Manifested Recently?

[SamBeaven]

The first time I ever managed some IM was about three years ago. I'd never heard of IM at this point, I just stepped in the door and slipped into an odd mindset about how I needed a job. Just as I did so the phone rang with a job offer.

Blimey, I thought, something odd's afoot.

So when I got into IM that experience really helped me swallowing the concept.

I haven't actually had much tangible success with IM so far, and yet I feel great and so I'm going to keep doing it (Steve's recent post on fears blocking manifestation really helped). I've got a more active social life at the moment, but none of the riches I've been hoping for. Still, only time will tell.

This may seem petty compared to some of you, but that new James Bond movie came out, and I had no one to see it with because everyone I knew was busy that night and no means of transportation. So I intentioned. About 7:00 I got a call from a friend gave me a ride there and the movie rocked.

I intended for the line to move quickly, then looked over at the customer service area where one can sometimes check out and thought about conciously intending for that to be opened, but decided that was silly. Seconds later a lady walked over to that register and beckoned me over. By the time I was done the other line was cleared also. Was that me?!

hey, you never know, do you? maybe it was!

I'm still easing into I-M. The other day I had a chance to try it on something simple and obvious. I go on walks almost every day, and I always encounter one or two squirrels. I usually stop to watch them a second, because I think they're cute--especially when they're eating.

Yesterday, I noticed halfway through my walk that there were no squirrels. I thought, okay, here's the perfect easy task for I-M. I intend to see a squirrel sometime before my walk is over. After all, they are all over the place, so I had full confidence that it was in the realm of possibility. It was no hardship for the universe, so no reason to believe it should take long to manifest. I had no fears or reservations about spotting a squirrel, either. And, I could visualize and feel the delight of seeing them. Fully vibrating, as they say.

Well, 3/4ths of the way through my walk, still nothing, and I'm trying hard to just stay mentally empty, and trust that it's going to happen. All of a sudden, I nearly trip over a bunny. Those are much more rare and interesting than squirrels, on the path I use for walking anyway. And, even when I see one in advance, I've never been able to get so close to one without it running away.

I knew immediately that I had gotten what I really wanted, which was to be amused and entertained during my walk. So, sometimes I don't think you have to be too careful about the wording of the intention, as long as you are sufficiently open-minded about recognizing the results. But, I'm still new at this...

Ive been working with IM for a long time. A fair bit of hit and miss, but whenever i let go and it came from the depths of the heart it just seemed to happen. Over the past few months there have been several IM, so i will convey only one here.
My friend is a school teacher and was telling me a lot of his students throw out their ipods if they break down outside of the warranty, as they are apparently not worth fixing. I thought to myself, "are you serious. I could certainly make use of it. I could probably manage to get it working with little money or no money" I have also had a desire for something that can store images and play many types of files. There was no money comming in at the time & buying one was not possible for me. I was not keen on pestering my friend who is in the midst of renovating and moving into a new home.
About a month later, my parents handed me something they found in the park during a walk. They had no clue as to what it was. It was an iriver Multi codec Jukebox.

I love reading all these!!

I sometimes have more success manifesting things I DON"T want to happen, then what I want. But hey-I got what I asked for!

One bad experience was: I was drilling some metal for jewelry and the thought popped into my head "I bet this would hurt if I dropped the drill accidentally" and 5 seconds later, BAM spinning drill right onto my foot! LUCKILY I wasn't hurt, just some messed up shoes.

But a recent good thing-the above said drill died a few weeks ago and I NEED to have a drill to work. I had been wanting to upgrade to a professional flexshaft drill but could never allow myself to spend $250+ dollars on one. Well, now the drill is dead, I had a trunk show coming up in 2 weeks and lots of jewelry parts to drill...So I said "I'm gonna get a Foredom Flexshaft by the end of the week". even though I only had $30 in my bank account.

The next morning I got 2 sales for a total of $90, My husband had the chance to do a market research survey that night and came home saying "they overbooked and didn't need me but paid me anyway, and I want you to have it for your drill" $100!!! The following morning=another $20 sale, and I had EXACTLY enough to buy the drill I wanted, with shipping DOWN TO THE PENNY!!

YAY!! Now I need to work on manifesting consistant sales, and making a sustainable living from my art!

I think you are so right here, especially when it comes to things more complex..... sufficiently open-minded about recognizing the results...beautiful!

I wonder whether somehow, even by straightforward means, practicing intentions can put words into our mouths, maybe in just the right way to trigger action in others. No big deal and maybe it didn't happen, but could it be that somewhere along the line, you mentioned or said within hearing around your parents that you were looking for one of these things?

If you did let that slip, still a lot more had to happen for them to find it and decide to pick it up and give it to you, no?

I think of this because it's my opinion that a lot of what I-M does is change our own behaviour in various ways towards what we want... I think that and can often, after something manifests, see something I have been doing differently--either consciously and more able to follow through on a change in behaviour (starting something, stopping something, new habits, etc), or unconsciously/semi-consciously--a change I might only recognize in retrospect.

Hmmmmm......... "I sometimes have more success manifesting things I DON"T want to happen, then what I want. But hey-I got what I asked for!"

I had to laugh here a dropped spinning drill leading to messed up shoes but no personal injury (sounds like a lucky break as you said, LUCKILY ).......AND a new drill out of nowhere sounds like, with some precision to the amount of $ that came your way, maybe just to make you smile

Sounds like yer purty good at this stuff........

Ok a more serious one:

When I wanted to get a good SAT score, I wanted to get this expensive training program, that cost $1,500. My parents weren't willing to pay for it. But I REALLY wanted to go. This was back when I first discovered I/M. So I thought about it and intentioned. Then I was at a bodybuilding competition and one of the poeple there was a coach there, and hired me to work with him and one of the perks was the tuition to the class was waived for me! SAT score came out to a 1440!

[magnet1978]

I recently made it my intention to manifest $1000 by the end of the week. I decided even if I failed, I was going to make that my intention. When I arrived at work this morning I discovered that my check for the week is going to be $500 more than I expected it to be! Even if I am being paid for a job I still think this is amazing!

[Ati]

In an easy and relaxed manner,
In a healthy and positive way,
For the highest good of all,
In its own perfect time, with its own perfect timing,
In good faith and in good humor,

I intend a solid start on my stacks of procrastinated paperwork, a break in the procrastination cycle for that stack of papers and others like it, steady/daily progress until completion of this task, and a day in the very near future when I can say "that's done now, what was so hard about that anyway?"

OK, I got a solid start on this project this afternoon/evening, and a step by step plan for the next steps.......

[Acting Like Godot]

I have been meaning to start running again, but due to busy schedule, laziness, procrastinating etc, I haven't actually gone for a run for two months. Yesterday I manifested an intention for the universe to inspire me to go running again.

Today at lunchtime, I walked to this little park. It was very hot (I live in the tropics), probably around 35 degrees celsius, and it would be quite crazy to exercise outdoors at noon.

Nevertheless I saw a bizarre sight. It was an old man. He wasn't dressed for exercise at all - but he took off his shirt, kicked off his shoes and started jogging barefoot, in his business pants. Because it was very hot (noontime), he didn't want to be out in the sun. So he kept running in ridiculously small circles round and round two tall trees (so that he'd be in their shade).

I sat on a nearby bench to look at him. He stopped, looking a little embarrassed. He decided to do some stretching instead. Then after a while, he had a "Ahhhh, what the heck!" look on his face, and he started running around the two trees again.

I found this very inspiring. Weather, age, lack of running shoes and shorts did not stop this guy - what excuse do I have now.

[dorothy hanna]

Using my million dollar IM, has been positively affecting my mood, and the Univers has been directing me in my dreams. Showing me ideas for bettering my relating with my children, and siblings. It's also been working in my chilldrens lives, before they were aware of IM, as I was already Intending on their behalf.

Many blocks I had in my relationships have been removed, and things have been shifting around, and revealed.

I got a nice phone conversation with my youngest daughter, who I've only seen or had contact with once a year, at family reunions.
We had a nice 1-1/2 hour, uninterrupted conversation with lots of relating, and laughter. It's great!

I only started this a couple of weeks ago and I manifested a MacBook. I've been wanting one for over a year, but just couldn't afford it. Within a short time I was able to not only afford it, but not break myself in the process. There has been more money flowing lately than ever before. This stuff really works! I am so thankful. It only makes me more determined than ever.

I have been manifesting things like crazy, not only for myself but also things I intended for other people - good things, of course.

I have many stories to share, but for now I'll share a very very simple one, a "small" intention my sister manifested in the process of "testing" the LoA, because I think there are many people in these forums that are at this stage, so maybe this could give these people some ideas.

So, my sister just recently learned about the LoA. Like I said, she started testing, but because I have told her my stories and she has actually seen my results (someone she knows and trusts), it was easier for her to believe this is real. So she was already a step in the right direction. She is still learning the process, so I told her: "Start testing with simple things, keep it simple for now." (and explained to her about beliefs, blocking, etc...). So, one day she goes to this restaurant where she usually has lunch at and starts putting food in her plate. We live in Brazil and people here usually have rice and beans as part of the meal on a daily basis at lunch. So she puts rice in the plate and beans on top, a somewhat "automatic" behavior. Right after doing that, she spots some toasted garlic (which she loves and isn't usually there) and thinks: "Wow, I think this garlic would be really good mixed with rice". But she had already put the beans on top of the rice, so she thought "Damn, now I can't have this rice with garlic". That garlic wasn't there every day, so with the "keep it simple" concept in mind, she decided to hold an intention for the garlic to be there the next day when she returned for lunch. The following day, when she gets there all excited with the possibility that the garlic would be there (in fact really expecting it to be there) what does she find? No, no toasted garlic. Instead, they had cooked rice already mixed WITH toasted garlic, something she had never seen there before - and she eats there frequently. She was in total awe.

I know, it's a very simple manifestation, I have better stories to tell , but to someone testing the LoA, it's pretty cool.

To get a seat means that I have to get there on time, which often depends on how many red light I get between home and the station.

Recently, I've been intending a seat whenever I'm late (which like never happened before, and I've been riding the bus for three years) and I've always been getting a seat whenever I intend it. Not just any seat but a seat in the front, too.

Simple but still very, very nice when you have like a 60 pound backpack.

[Lonewolf]

Yo Placebo! The Universe was giving you a very clear message there but you chickened out 'Bro. When you see an odd coincidence like that you must pounce at once. She was with crew - so what? You should have just come up to her and said "I'm sorry I have to leave right now but I saw you back there and I was wondering if I could give you a call later when you have finished meeting your friends". The Universe gives us little nudges now and then but we have to be brave and determined enough to take advantage of them.

Wow! I love the MacBooks. How did you do it? I'd love to hear your story

[MarkusL]

I can't believe it also but this Intention-Manifestation thing is working. I intended to have a relationship with a girl about two months ago and now Im on one! Next I intended our relationship to get better and guess what, its just THERE! I would write them down and later on I would see all these signals and I would just go with it, and later on its there!. Its AWESOME!

Guys, I just thought I should update you, not only did I get $250 in base price sales for the month, the amount I got exceeded, by almost 50%, what I had intended for. I have not added any new products lately and have been spending all my time on marketing and promotion, but based on what I know of what I've promoted, I don't know how this could have happened from marketing and promotion alone. Most of them seem to be from search results.

[MichaelRGaudet]

Love these stories! About two years ago, I was in a real funk. Just a rough patch in general. I was trying so hard to breathe life into my latest pet project, but felt I had hit a brick wall. Lack of funds, lack of morale, lack of resources...or so I thought. I had heard of LoA, but was feeling so discouraged that I allowed myself to sink to an almost all-time low.

Striving to keep a stiff upper lip ( what did I have to lose?) I started to perform a little ritual just before sleep each night. I asked very specifically for help in manifesting my 'invention'. Two nights went by...nothing. I persevered. On the third night I woke up at about 3:00 and made my way to my keyboard. I started to peck away and about an hour later I had written a 12-stanza poem. I recall that the words just flowed quite effortlessly...I layed it all down without any changes or editing. Which is rare for me. Then I saved the little ditty to a file and went back to sleep.

Next day, a friend dropped over and I invited him to read the poem. Much to my surprise, he immediately declared that he wanted to put it to music! As if this wasn't amazing enough, within only 3 weeks, seven individuals approached me with cash in hand to invest in my invention's R&D!

EVERYTHING CHANGED from that day forward.

My friend and I went on to record a CD Single called 'I Believe', which is really all about LoA. A while later, the CD was used as a modestly successful fund-raiser for a Breakfast in Schools program in Nova Scotia. About 100 CDs were sold at the event, raising $400.00 for hungry kids.

The gift continues to give!

And we're just getting started.

[dorothy hanna]

My sister was wanting to become more aware, so she could know what's goping on, and see the world more clearly, in a spiritual sense.

She began intending for this, and she manifested "the secret", movie into her life. She watched it, and declared, "I see a revolution of the mind occurring, and I can see paradise infolding.
Two weeks after this, she also manifested the money to have laser surgery on her eyes, and not only can she see clearly in a spiritual sense, but she has manifested, for herself, physically, clear vision.

[madgeylou]

i manifested my new apartment!! i focused on having a home where i feel safe and supported and free, and not only did i start feeling a little bit more that way in my current place (where i hadnt felt safe before), but i also got offered a new, gorgeous place with a yard (a huge deal in NYC!) pretty much out of the blue.

i sign the lease this weekend! woo hoo!!

[Happiness]

2 years ago, I had ask the universe to guide me in helping me find the man who would be my husband and with all the caracteristics that I wanted.

I met an old friend from many years ago and we had a baby girl and married a couple of months ago! I am very grateful to have them both in my life.

I also had asked to be closer to my mom (we had our share of fights) since my husband came into my life, my mom has really been there for me. Once again, I am grateful for this blessing!

Now, I am visualizing (my husband also) our house. We are designing it not forgetting to add all of the details. We built our "vision board" (as suggested in the movie Secret). We are confident that it will happen very soon!

We want to be successful in our business ventures! We put this out also....

I will keep you posted!

Happiness.

[icesar]

Well, I had a completely unexpected freelance job fall into my lap, my website network has been picking up steam, and I already have four super cool trip planned for the upcoming year, both things that I think about (and intend regularly).

[Theobinomy]

Hmmm. . .
in the last 3 days, i've manifested a smoothy, a redbull, awesome beer (homebrewed in a keg!), some pot, nachos and guacomole, some more beer off a cowboy.
basically awesome.

[Buttercup McToots]

I have just joined this MB today but I have been reading the articles for a while. I am a student of Abraham and Wayne Dyer. I have The Secret & The Field.
I have been practicing mediatation and manifestation and this is my story.
Mr. McToots is a songwriter/composer. 2 days ago there was a call out for
music for a series of underwater documentaries. I asked Mr. McToots to write some music, but he said funny enough he had written a song last week and I should listen to see if it fit. It did. It was perfect. I submitted it. Haven't heard anything yet, but if that's not synchronicity what is it?

[intentionengine]

I put my efforts in to a website The Intention Engine 14 months ago. Something I felt was on purpose.

Now it's live online and growing steadily.

I saw the secret like most of us here early in the year and I said this is like what I'm doing online. I'm going to connect with these people who made the Secret soon.

Only about three weeks ago I found out that the producers of the secret were infact originally from the same suburb i live in here in Melbourne.

So here's the wild part...

I thought they'd hear abot the site from someone who found it online or through press??

Two weeks ago I was at a shop here in Mebourne and ran into a woman I hadn't seen in years. SHe asked are you still making websites?
I told her about the site and she asked If I'd seen the Secret.
Yes of course I have, I replied.
She then tells me that she got a signed copy the other day from one of the teachers featured in it.
Turns out she is the family's new Nanny!

Then today I get an email from Max a young and very talented photographer I have mentored in past and he tells me.

Brendan, I met the daughter of one of the producers of the Secret DVD on the weekend and
I TOLD HER ABOUT THE INTENTION ENGINE.


Now that's universable.

Bring it on. I'll keep you all posted as this continues to manifest.

Oh Shite, It's not so short a post after all, But it is SWEET!


Brendan

[MichaelRGaudet]

Brendan, just a few days ago, I posted an intention that I wanted to
"Intensify my Intentions".
I saw your Intention Engine today for the 1st time and I recognize that it is just the tool I am looking for! Thanks so much for your creation. I will dig into it and look forward to results of the extra focus.

[Isis Kali]

What terrific stories! You're all an inspiration

I did the Million Dollar IM thingy about, oh, 36 hours ago? If' any of you have read my thread re: my housing probs in the Relationship thread, you'll know that my happy home life came crashing around my head last week. I was wondering what the hell I was going to do to make things better...

Well, it so happens that I've already manifested $2020. A $2000 scholarship to go to Kripalu Center for massage school...even though several months ago, I'd been accepted, but there was no scholarship money available. Not only that, but the usual scholarship is 40%, and mine is 60%. W00t! Then, I also got a check in the mail out of nowhere for $20. So, I have someplace to go from mid Jan to mid Feb, and will be holding a professional certificate when I come back. That'll make life very, very easy. Freelance massage therapists always have work, and it's the nature of thier business to work alone, which is what I need to do.

My blog is also taking off like wildfire. I keep on saying, "People are going to love this. People value what I'm writing, and it's going to catch on." I started it a week and a half ago (doesn't look like it, simply because some entries are old ones that I posted with a backdate), and have had over 700 page views! I checked Wordpress' definition of a page view, and it means a click on any link in your blog, not a total count of links in the blog. So, that means that a lot of people are coming in and reading, reading, reading. It's terrific!

I know that I'm going to find an amazing, cheap, adorable apartment when I come back. I also know that there's money and a good man in my future BECAUSE I SAID SO.
