What Have You Manifested Recently?

[Gambit]

First post. Hello everyone. Not sure I'm doing it right. Fascinating. Very encouraged about IM and LOA. How do you actually do it? Can you send out multiple intentions at the same time?
In other words, this means that our physical reality is fluid and we can change it at will by our thoughts?

[decterlove]

discuss these matters....I was on another popular site last night and got nothing but skepticism for my honest efforts to explore this subject...

I'm in a major transition now...trying to start a simple entertainment service for schools and parties....I really love doing it but bookings are very erratic so far...

I need to constantly remind myself of things I've manifested intentionally in the past....and the most recent example was a three months easy comfortable housesit that I am currently enjoying...

I knew I needed to move and I knew I needed some time to give my marketing efforts another chance after the first of the year....I googled house sitting and put an an on Craigslist, etc..and sort of let go/forgot about it..... a week or two later I got an email from an ex-roommate who was about to travel to asia and sent out to about 15 people.....he needed a house sitter! So it's worked out great for the past few months....and it just fell into my lap!

A couple of weeks ago, I decided I wanted a treadmill. I cut out a picture of one and put out the intention that I would find a used, higher end treadmill at a good price. Then, I started looking. I've been checking the paper and online and I went to look at one last weekend. I'd pretty much decided that I could afford to pay around $700 and was making plans to go pick up the one I saw. Our company puts out a daily email with information on it - mostly product information, what's going on, etc. I decided to put a "wanted: treadmill" note in there - couldn't hurt. Half an hour after the email went out, I get a call from an employee in our sister office (across town) whom I've never met. She has a nice treadmill (worth over $1000) and it sounds perfect. How much are you asking for it? She says "Nothing. I just want it out of my house. I bought a new piece of equipment and this is getting in my way."

Pretty cool, huh?

hi all - first post
we are new at this IM gig, but i'm totally loving it. my husband and i watched The Secret video together last Wednesday, and i've been totally immersed in learning more ever since.

these are the good things that have happened to us:

:: i found this site and love it, i feel like i am drinking in knowledge every day (Thank you, Steve, you rock, dude); and love Erin's part of it too because i have been shutting off a side of me that i had been scared of, but have recently decided that i don't want to be scared of it anymore, and voila - here is the adorable Erin to guide me in that area (Thank you, Erin!)

:: my husband quit his job to persue his passion. that very day, he was offered $10,000 to do exactly what he wants to do.

:: the 10K came the day after i put the million dollar project mantra on my laptop as a screen saver.

:: today we put something up for sale that we have been arguing over just getting rid of for a long time, and it sold within hours adding another nice chunk of change.

:: we feel AMAZING. i mean, i can't even describe it. just happy and relaxed and peaceful and loving and GOOD. we FEEL GOOD and that is the best thing of all.

we are so grateful!

Hello... first post...

I just watched The Secret a week or so ago. I'd been told about it by many people and just hadn't gotten to it. I'm glad I did, though it wasn't really anything 'new' to me, the presentation was very interesting.

I'd been practicing manifesting for sometime, and have gotten quite confident about manifesting parking spaces... and it made me smile when that came up in the movie.

There are probably other things I've manifested, though I can't think of them off the top of my head right now.

Anyhow, glad to be here!

Well one of my large intentions has been a man. I've been single since my marriage broke up 10 years ago, and the odd man has wandered through, but nothing too serious. I've been seriously working on intending a man, THE man who can be the love of (the rest of) my life. And I think he's arrived.

I've changed a lot over the years, I've put a lot of effort into sorting out what is important from what isn't important, and I finally, about 3-6 months ago seriously started intending the love of my life. I considered exactly what qualities were important, and what weren't. I wrote it out, almost as a checklist.

I have used many intention wordings, and methods, I expressed gartitude and over the last 3 months I've known he's there. I've just felt that he's there, but I couldn't see him.

He's someone I met 3 years ago and felt very excited about, but for various reasons did nothing about. At Christmas I was put in touch with him again, and this time it's for real, and nothing's going to stop us. He lives in another country but arrives in less than 2 weeks. It will save our phone bills considerably! Early days yet, but we have the universe on our side!

Love to you
Hazel

My mom bought a Pilates DVD that she didn't like. She was irritated that she "wasted" the money and refused to buy another one, even though she really wanted one. She would think about getting a new Pilates DVD often but then refused to purchase it (out of spite i think). Anyway, she comes home from the store and is opening the chicken. On the btm of the container, a protected envelop falls to the floor as she is about to throw the container out. In the package is a DVD. She puts it in the player and it's a Pilates workout DVD!! Purdue was having some kind of Pilates DVD giveaway? I have no idea, but she manifested it! The workout was so similar to the actual workout she did in the studio. Unfortunately she didn't attribute this to the law of attraction, but she manifested it nonetheless!!!

I have been thinking about multiple streams of income. I'm a social worker who is a bit burnt out (after only a year). I've been doing my gratitudes over abundance and various streams of income. Anyway, I ran into this great youtube video where this guy is talking about the LOA and he is mentioning this affiliate program through the secret. I decided that this was an opportunity for me to get involved in something big, as humanity's consciousness seems to be expanding (for some at least). So, if you would like to inquire about it.. you can visit

The Secret: The Course Based on the Best-Selling DVD Movie

I thought this was a very relevant place to put this website and I was hoping to attract others who are willing to try something new and trust that with intention and action, you can manifest what you'd never expect. It's sometimes daunting to take the plunge, but you never know what you're capable of achieving unless you look fear straight on and take action anyway.

I couldn't have started the path I have been on without Steve Pavlina's website.

Had to find a birthday present for my niece's 21st today, had a budget of $50. I decided to go to my favourite crystal shop, all I could think of was Fluorite, found a beautiful point. My daughter was going through a set of crystal cards, asking me if we could buy the set, I told her that this time we were only shopping for her cousin. Just then she cut the cards and pulled out the Fluorite card, so I knew we had the right crystal. It cost $30 so I had another $20 to spend, I decided to look elsewhere but as I was leaving the store, a fairy ornament caught my eye. It was $22, I decided to keep looking and left the store. All I could think about when I left was that ornament, the further I got from the shop the more I thought about it so I went back, telling myself that $2 over budget wasn't a huge blowout. I handed over the $22 and next thing I knew the lovely owner of the shop, handed me back $2! She often rounds down the prices but usually it's under $1.

Being able to stick to budget really bouyed me today, it's small things like this that really make my day.

The owner made a comment when I went back to get the fairy, she said to me "she spoke to you didn't she?", I told her yes and that the further I got away the louder she yelled". A man was looking at the ornaments when I got back there and I am positive he would have chosen this one if I hadn't got it first.

Hi All, Some weeks back I got the office position I had intended, and I was happy, and looking forward to my training, but although I'm very happy to have the promotion, A big shift has occurred at work. We've had mass quittings a t work, leaving us very short handed, so much of my training was postponed as They needed more checkers on the floor, then when I was scheduled for a full week of office training suddenly everyone was getting ill, so we were still very short handed, and I was having to fil in on the floor again.
Then, I was scheduled for more office training, and same illness took out every office worker that could train me, so I was just thrown in the office with little help as to what to do next, and how.

Now, I did manage to get a couple days of intermittent traing on a few things, and today is my last day to get sgown anything, and then then my trainer is retiring.

I couldn't believe how what was happening all these weeks that I was supposed to be training, and now they are actually going to just turn it over to me, with me knowing only half of what I need to know.

I know I must be experiencing much residual from former default creating, as I'm really familiar with this phemominon occurring in my life.
I got this promotion much more quickly than I would have in the past, but the rest of the pattern seems to be exact.

Any advice?

Just this morning my husband and I intended to hire a new part time teacher in the 5am-9am shift for our English tutorial Center. We agreed to place an ad on the papers this week. But.. I don't have to do that. Just before I eat lunch today, an old applicant who previously declined the offer because of a conflict with her schedule, CALLED me, asking if she can be re-considered for the position!

It was like..Wow!

Even though I live only 45 minutes away, I had never been to Legoland, as I could never see paying $60 to go. This Past week I kept seeing TV ads for Legoland and thinking to myself that I will be making a trip there soon. My friend called me this morning to tell me he had two tickets from his wife that she got from her boss yesterday and that we were going today - his wife loathes amusement parks.

I also decided that the park was going to be quiet and it was, the longest wait was 10 minutes and that was for their newest new attraction. Poor staffers, dealing with a 24 yar old and a 31 year old acting like little kids

As it turned out, The head bookeeper has agreed to stay another wek to train me. FANTASTIC! I'm scheduled to work with her all this week, so I'm working really fast and furious to take in all her knowledge.

She's done the job for 12 years and knows everything about the office.

THANK YOU!!!

This did not happen lately but before I had ever heard about manifestation, I attributed to the power of prayer at the time.

I was a member of YMCA when 11-13 yrs old and one night there was a fundraising lottery. I bought six tickets and drew a cross on the back of my hand that I focused on while the numbers were being drawn, lo and behold I won four prizes and among those the big one, a comics book.

[Beloved]

but this one wasn't mine.

I took my daughter shopping for clothes as part of her birthday present, we went to a shop that had a dress she loved but at $170 it was way out of my price range, hubby would kill me for spending that much. As we walked in the shop she said that it would be great if that dress was about $50, she had been given $50 that day as a gift. We checked the tag and noticed it was marked down to $90, still a bit high then we both noticed a sign that said to take an extra 50% off! Then at the register they gave another 10% off because I spent $50 in the store!

I told my daughter about manifestation and she did very well on her first "assignment".

I just mailed of the check that wipes out anothe credit cerd debt. That's 6 gone in one year, thanks to Steve Pavlina's article on "Over-Whelming Force", Dave Ramseys "Gazelle Intensity", finacial advice, and of course, The Secret.

NOW! Onto the next target! Bank of America.

Way to go Dorothy Hanna!!!

I make New Years resolutions and set goals. At the beginning of the year I had the intention to have "family" friends and more personal friends. (I lost many friends during a severe depression and subsequent illness.) Two weeks ago my son and I were invited to go to the beach with four other families. It was the best time we have ever had.

I have also had more and more social encounters. Today, I had lunch with someone and then another person who is interested in a friendship came by my house to help me figure out how to solve a problem. It is amazing to me how declaring intentions and focusing on them works. Nothing short of Miraculous.

[dorothy hanna]

Well, I guess my office training is officially over, and I've been dumped into the office to do the job, and all is extremely hectic, and vague.

I have to keep calling in the manager, and assistant manager for help, and they pop in and then pop back out, as they are busy with their own scediles, and worries.

I think I'm going to have to focus on getting the right teacher, who can show me what aspects are the most important, and help me organize this mess.
No wonder the old bookkeeper wanted out so badly! GEESH!

[linda sweeney]

Each day I feel my heart is filled with Joy and peace ...I begin my day with thanks for all that I have. But as time moves on the problems/stress start to feel heavy...and i feel Im in a struggle with what i desire for my life and the mess my life has become the last 10 yrs. I have only just started to learn and understand many of these new ideas but have trouble keeping my thoughts positive when all around me is stress...what can i do ...any tips

[dorothy hanna]

My office experience went really good today. No big problems. I'm getting faster at many of the things I've learned, and discovered many things that were not shown me previously.

The books balanced! Yippie!!!

To the post just before mine.
Mostly, you keep at it. You focus on finding that little better thought, which leads to that little better feeling, which leads to that little better action, and decsion making ability.
It does take practice, and remember, there is that buffer time period between the thoughts your feelings of today, and the manifestations from these, in the future, but know that it does start becoming evident in your life.

Choose good thoughts. Quite deliberatley.

[ArthurHung]

Linda_Sweeney: Though this may seem like a cop-out answer, keep reading and rereading Steve's articles and listen to his podcasts when you have spare time, like when you are sitting on the subway. And get ideas from this post if you have trouble wondering what to "ask your unconscious" next. I'll assume you read that article and if not, find it and get to it!

While browsing Steve's site, I found myself asking many "What If" questions. What if everything I touched added to my manifestation of happiness? That can be a legitimate manifestation of my intentions, can't it? What if for every single indulgence of every kind, even of the tongue, were to add to my life in a significant way? How is that not possible with creative observation combined with respecting my unconscious while in a constant state of total responsibility?

It could be said that it would be too early for me, a single male, not even graduated from University yet to claim that "I'm set for life". Yet, I can't help but come to that conclusion. How did I come to this conclusion you ask? I maintain that my intentions of creative observation combined with respecting my unconscious while in the state of total responsibility can be maintained everyday, for the rest of my life. And even if I'm totally wrong, I can't see a better subjective or objective perspective in life to have, like how Steve described in his podcast. There are problems in my life right now. Most people do. However, I would be flat out lying if nearly everyday of this week I haven't been either smiling outwardly or inwardly.

If you still think of me as insane, I'll give you a simile for how I think: It's like a genie in a bottle granted me three wishes to be fulfilled without restriction; I opted for infinite wishes to be granted. And what's stopping you from doing the same?

My intentions, which currently I believe to be congruent with my thoughts, are that I can maintain happy, strong positive intentions everyday of my life. In fact, I have been acting upon intentions all along; last year, I told myself that I would just keep fit and as a result get sick very little in 2006. Guess what? I got sick for all of 2 and 1/2 weeks with a cold only for all of last year. And the kicker? I used to get sick all the time as a kid and as a teenager. At present, my intention is simply to not get sick at all, ever, for the rest of my life. I note, it is almost... irresponsible to even consider the logic "maybe I should wait and see before claiming this intention", this lack of confidence in my writing would reflect not only to whomever is reading this but also to myself that I don't actually believe I can.

I won't even get to stating that I will prove that I could maintain these types of mindsets for the rest of my life; I can't help but happily and enthusiastically concentrate on the current moment and the manifestation of my perpetual happiness.

In my first post to the general discussion and introduction board about myself, I wrote that applying Steve's models are very simple. This doesn't mean it's not hard to get into believing and practically living using those models. The happy, erudite and enlightened man gave people a way to fish; it's up to them to not starve. I'm thinking that there are probably many who use Steve's site thinking that it is helping them greatly, but it really hasn't. It's obvious as to why, these people are unconsciously refusing to actually practically use Steve's models, their intentions of using Steve's models not being congruent with their inner thoughts. I am entirely satisfied with myself for having just written that, because my intentions for putting this out here is because I feel with real encouragement and effort from board members aside from just Steve millions upon millions of people can eventually raise their consciousness to a higher level. Unproductive objective thinking can take a hike. Productive subjective thinking now and forever

Cheers,

Arthur

Well, I'd put "get 10,000 hits per day" on my master list...

Uh, I've been sick with the flu, and didn't know that Der Speigel had printed my AP interview again...this time, with a link to my blog.

I'm up to about 14,000+ hits.

And to think that, ONCE AGAIN, I was going to drop the blog. LOL!
