What Have You Manifested Recently?

[dECLAN]

I have been interested in Japanese culture, history and arts for some time. As a result I have had a strong desire to travel there. Although having a young family has restricted me from doing this.

A short while ago there was a competition on the radio to win 'Gold Class' tickets to a movie. My wife entered and won them. When we arrived we were given champagne and told that there was another competition to win a trip to Japan.

On each of the seats was a book with a 'Gold Ticket' inside. When we sat down we were told to open the book to reveal the winner. I couldn't believe my luck when the Gold Ticked popped out of my book.

All in all the trip was worth just under $18,000! I have since been to Japan and had some unbelievable spiritual experiences there but that is a story for another day...

Have you had any 'luck' like this with your own intention-manifestation endeavors?

[cela]

dECLAN, that's amazing! Do make sure to tell us about your Japanese experiences some time.

I don't have any recent IMs to speak of, as I haven't been putting them out there very consciously/deliberately lately. Must get back to that!

About 3 years ago, though, my partner (now husband) and I were looking to buy a house, and I made a quite detailed list of features that I wanted, absolutely a wishlist, not just must-haves. I filed it away, forgetting about it.

Well, that later that year, we bought our house. Whilst doing some other paperwork, I found the list, and was surprised to note that EVERYTHING we had wanted, we got!

I'm a big believer in IM – can't wait to hear everyone else's stories.

Cheers,
Claire

Now that I think about it, there is a more recent story:

I'm not a big fan of commuting to work (who is?), and I wasn't really enthused by the idea of working from home, so I intended to find a job as close to home as possible.

Last year, I accepted my dream job - 3min drive, 20min walk! Not to mention the decent pay rise.

Put it out there people, the universe is listening!

Cheers,
Claire

On Wednesday I set the intention to have 15 people in each of my three martial arts classes (currently I have been 6-9 in the three age groups). The youngest kids class had twelve, the older kids had 3 new kids bring the class up from 6 to 9 and the adults class had 12, with 3 new people as well.

Thanks Universe!

The IM that has made the biggest impact on me is this...

About seven years ago I returned to Dublin from San Francisco were I had been living. It had been a tumultuous time which concluded with the parting of ways with a girl whom I was deeply in love with. I returned to Dublin to try mend my broken heart.

Just before the break-up a friend of my lover handed me a book called There are no Accidents - The Stories of Our Lives. She told me that everything was as it should be and to read the book. I did read the book but little did I know that my model of reality would change so drastically shortly afterwards.

For months I hid indoors listening to phone messages over and over from my lover...staring at her picture. I really hit rock bottom. One night my brother asked me to go out with him. Normally I would have declined his offer but I felt as though I had finally gotten over the relationship.

At the end of the night my brother indicated he would get a taxi straight back home but I insisted that he stay over; which is a very rare occurrence in itself. The next morning he had to be up and off very early but again I insisted he go for breakfast with me.

So we set off and along the way I met an Australian friend. She hadn't seen me in months and asked me what I was up to. Rather that replay the worn out love song I blurted out that I was thinking of going to Australia. She seem surprised and suggested going to her favorite cafe where she would shout breakfast.

Whilst we had breakfast I was instantly attracted to a girl who worked there. Admittedly she is a mirror image of my previous love - but that is neither here nor there ;-) My Australian friend told me that she had been asking about me and it was eventually arranged that we go out on date.

I remember the feeling walking home (alone) that day. It was as though a voice inside me had said there Declan, see I would never let you down. Since then I have moved to Australia like I intended, married the girl of my dreams and am father to two amazing girls. When I look back over the time before I met my Australian wife I am amazed by the fact that if so many things hadn't been in the right place at the right time I would not be where I am right now.

Thats my tale...

20 days ago I was walkink down the street and passing by a coffe shop i looked in. And I saw the most beautiful girl i've ever seen before. She noticed me, we smile at each other and i kept walking. Few minutes after i was sitting in a bar with a friend and she entered that same bar. It wasn't really a situation to make a move cause she was with some crew too. Non verbal comunication was great on the other side.
I've never seen her again.

In last 20 days i watched The Secret and started to connecting with universe.

And today, i saw her. This LOA is an amazing thing.

I had been thinking about getting a new wide screen flat panel monitor for my computer at home for quote a while. I had a hard time justifying that to myself though since I already had a perfectly good monitor although it was a bit old and bulky.

Well, we had this monthly contest at work for a $250 gift certificate to anywhere I wanted. I have never won any contests like this at work but I told myself that if I won that gift certificate I would use it to buy my new monitor. I also figured what do I have to loose anyway. I continued to think about the monitor and the contest in a positive way but didn't put too much effort into it. I also knew I would not be totally crushed if I did not win.

I was thrilled when my name was drawn right in front of me for the gift certificate. I am now participating in these forums looking at my new monitor!

Okay, I'm going to tell you all about my experiences with Intention Manifestation, beginning at age 17, and ending now, at age 18.

First off, I never would have heard of it if I hadn't found this book, "Excuse me, your life is waiting" which was lying around my house--my mom bought it for herself but just skimmed it and put it aside. So I read through it, and some sunk in. It helped me raise myself out of a general low mood I had been in.

I started thinking about what I would do after high school. Until now this idea had freaked me out a lot. I didn't have a plan other than I would go to college for sure, and I had good enough grades that I knew I wouldn't have a problem getting in. I knew that my parents had saved up some money, and the state-wide Bright Futures scholarship would cover my tuition, but I didn't know if it would be enough. I knew that I didn't want to work during college if I could help it--I just wanted to concentrate on college. So I didn't officially "intend" to get college paid for, I just had this thought, or visualization: I will be in college, taking classes, not having to worry about money or mooch off my family for money, and having free time to socialize, and have a laptop, maybe as a birthday present before classes start.

At this point I didn't even know where I wanted to go to college, mainly because I didn't know what I wanted to do.

But I just didn't worry about it. Not even purposefully concentrating on good, but more like just expecting the good and ignoring the potential bad.

So it turns out that there would be a standardized test given during senior year, and a percentage would get an award with a possibility of a full scholarship. They didn't tell me what the percentage was--if they had I might have unconsciously rule myself out of the running. I did my best on the test (although I didn't attempt to study for it...) and I found out months later that I was in the running for the award, along with just 3 others in our senior class of 450+.

I ended up getting the award, along with my three classmates, which gave us the leverage to go to any school we wanted to. The others went to Ivies and one to West Point, but I decided to stay in state and got accepted quickly into my first choice school (and the only school I applied to). And as a bonus (or a bribe), I'm getting my education completely free, including a nice new laptop!

And now I am a college student, with everything going smoothly. I've even decided on a major. The college environment is much more conducive to a positive attitude than my hometown, so I'm looking forward to even better things in the future.

Hi all,

This thread is up top now for anyone who would like to write in any results you've noticed from your intentions.

I'd suggest that we put in results, congrats and BRIEF comments on results, as well as directs to other threads on this board for longer or more involved responses to people's reports, just to keep the focus here on results.

Hope this sounds good to all !

All best,

[leahj77]

The fastest Manifestation happened about three years ago when I was just beginning to dabble in prayer/intentions. I was writing morning pages and begged to have my work change so I wouldn't have to quit the company. That afternoon I was asked to moved from Chicago to London for the winter for a 5 month assignment. Wow!

About one and half years ago, I decided that I would buy a condo. I said, "There is no plan B, I am buying and closing by May 1." My realtor and mortgage guy were shocked when I went from looking on March 16 to closing on April 27 with no snags.

Most, most recently was an iPod nano. I really wanted one and wrote about it on my Prosperity Game blog ($1000 Experiment.) Lo and behold, my brother (who I rarely talk to) got wind of my wish and sent me one as a gift.

[Ati]

I was sitting for a long examination, national board certification, expensive, just last Thursday, 11/9. I'm not currently a student (not formally, a student of life of course!) and I work full time. So I took 5 days off work to finish up studying for this thing. I did practice tests and had gotten 81 to 87% on the last 5 I did. You have to have 70% to pass this standardized exam.

My intention is listed on the other sticky thread: pass this exam already (!)

Did the first 124 or so questions with the increasing thought that these looked like they were coming from another planet, not any of the literature, texts or review books I'd been going through

Next, I found thoughts creeping up behind the scenes about what I would decide to do if I actually failed this beast--retake it next year, forget about it... etc..... I don't have to have this for what I am doing, it's an examination I'm qualified to take and it might come in handy in the near or later future, especially if I decide to make a change in my day job.

In any case, not good to have such thoughts between multiple choice questions !!

It's a timed test, but I stopped. I looked away from the test and at my scratch pad. I took some nice breaths and wrote down my intention:

In an easy and relaxed manner,
In a healthy and positive way,
For the highest good of all,
In its own perfect time (that's gotta be NOW!!) and with its own perfect timing (OK, I'll leave the timing to the universe)
In good faith and in good humor,

I intend: A PASSING SCORE ON THIS EXAM

..Well, I went back to the exam and the next several and then the next several more questions looked very familiar, no question abt the answers, then a few with some question but NO MORE FROM OUTER SPACE !!

I finished the first half of the day-long exam (lunch break between sections) and looked over the first 124. I actually changed maybe 3 of them, but the rest looked pretty reasonable, so I left them alone.

I was clearly amazed at the effect that stopping to write down my intention had on my experience with that exam. It was tangible, clear and obvious. Really made me think about all this in a slightly different way. (I'm generally much more focused on long term goals than immediate results, doing this--in fact can't ever remember trying to achieve an immediate result, but there it was )

I'm a real experienced test taker, have been through (and passed ) tons of tests before, I guess I couldn't argue with the notion that for some reason I was "nervous" and writing down my intention "calmed me down". Looks like that, doesn't it? But that doesn't really fit too well so I'm thinking there's probably more to it.

PS We'll see how I actually did on this thing in about 8 weeks, but that experience alone was pretty impressive to me.

I was supposed to go on a trip with a friend this weekend, but I really don't want to go. Then suddenly something came up at work and now I'm going to be super busy! Also the money I was going to spend on a hotel for my trip, I just spent on a new business suit to attend a meeting tomorrow with a potential lucrative client. But as the suit was so affordable, I'm going to save the rest of the cash didn't spend.

And on top of that, I intended to find a nice suit at a reasonable price...and I found one that was $380 but was marked down to $43! I'm not kidding!!!! The suit is in excellent shape and is brand new. It's amazing.

My next intention is to find a pair of earphones for my iPod that's priced bewteen $10-$15. I'm looking to purchase a quality pair of earphones that someone no longer wishes to use and wants to sell. So if you have a pair and you live in Boston...then send me a message

Intention- Manifestation does work

[aussieNickuss]

I had a small result (compared to some of these other stories) from my intention that I set out on Sunday (12/Nov) this week. I said I will have a more than sufficient amount of money enter my pocession over the next month.

On Wednesday, my accountant came back with my tax return (from which I usually only get about $50-$100 refund). This year i got a $900 tax refund. I'm stoked...in the mail in 14 days...just in time for christmas.

I didn't really get this intention manifestation stuff at first...but I am definatly taking it seriously now. Thank you universe! (EDIT and thank you to Steve for introducing this to me!)

[annie]

I manifested being an author and writing a book. I finished it this week!!!

WOOOO HOOOOOO (jumps up and down!)

I also have manifested making $25,000 last weekend. Instead I made $27,150....can't complain (in case you ever read my story on the other thread, it was from my "wassail" business) I don't typically make that much every weekend....

but hey,,,,,maybe I should

[annie]

I have to share something funny about Manifesting things. Last weekend I was selling my wassail at a huge trade show. I took a couple of girlfriends to help me out. As we were walking towards the building, one of them said to me...."Why are you so lucky to always make so much money?"

Exactly as she said that...I looked down and picked up a $10 bill....3 steps later I picked up a $5 bill. My retort to her was "because money just falls from the sky, into my hand."

She laughed, but was very annoyed that SHE didn't see it first

[Ati]

Wow annie, AussieNickuss, alexb5784 !!

Congratulations all !!!

And the next step will be...........grand !

[leahj77]

Last night I thought to myself, "It would be nice to go on a business trip." And this morning I found out that I'm off to a conference in DC next month. Had no idea it was even an option, awesome!

And I was on the phone with a friend and he said, "Guess how much I paid?" and I said, "one hundred.... seventy... eight?" He said, "No, I only paid..." then he realized that I was only off by $2.

Cool and cool.

I look forward to being able to manifest $25K in a weekend! That was great!

[skrowzdm]

Five months ago I put fourth the intention of going back to school for free. I did minimal work researching grants and scholarships for about a month, then got away from it. I was laid off from my job at the time and when I got called back I became too busy to put adequate effort in to it, so the thought of it faded and was eventually replaced with a new one. About two weeks ago, I was walking through the mall looking for chocolate when I ran into a friend's dad. He told me he was recently at a college for a seminar and spoke with the dean of admissions who told him that the school can't get enough students to go into the engineering field and if he knew anybody with the ability to complete the program they could attend free of charge. He immediately thought of me and told me that if I want it, it was mine to have. I don't have to make a decision right away so it won't interfere with my current short term goals. I am very thankful for this gift, and it left me with the thought that using the law of attraction is easier than I thought, all I have to do be open to the moment when my past intentions come back to me.

Last night was a bad night, today was a good day.

When my partner and I met she already owned her house. When we bought a house together we rented out hers.

Last night was not a good night, I spilt a full glass of red wine over my girl friend, the setee, carpet and 2 rugs. This then caused a "dispute", shall we say. At 11.30pm the phone rang and it was our tennant, I answered the phone in not the best mood, to be told that there was no electricity at the rented house. I complained about the time I was being rang at, we had a short argument and I was promptly hung up on.

I woke up this morning and was not very happy at the thought of having to speak to the tennant, go round and fix the problem. Whenever I thought about it, my projection always turned into an argument between me and the tennant.

I had recently seen "The Secret" and so I purposely changed my mood, I first thought of things that would make me happy, and then thought of the electricity probolem being solved very easily, and me getting on well with the tennant.

I then waited until I felt good about the situation, and then I called her. The problem had been fixed, it was not our fault it was the electricty board. We had a chat about appropiate times to call, and everything was resolved perfectly satisfactorly.

So you really do get whatever your thoughts put out. Last night I was angry and got back anger from the universe, this morning I put out peaceful / positive intentions and got that back.

It was also significant to me, as I had just watched, the secret, and was shown directly than thoughts, good or bad, get manifested. However the good thing is that positive thougts are so more stronger than negatvie ones.

A couple of days ago a similar thing happened to me where an argument that usually occurs was about to occur. I waited for the anger to pass and I had a clear idea of the best way to deal with it (which wasnt possible while I was clouded by anger (like a jedi (Its so cool to relate IM to Jedi (Is it bad forum etiquette to have too many sub parenthesis (I think I have ADD lol))))).

The problem had gone when I actually went to deal with it.

[David Mitchell]

As I was driving back to my office last night, I intended for there to be an empty parking space in front of the door. Usually tenants or customers at the restaurant next door would take it, but when I pulled up, there was my space.

I often use intention to gain parking spaces, never fails, just got to remember before you get there to intend it.

Nice one.

[ClassicDiner]

My first attempt at consciously manifesting was for $10k. On top of that I tried to change my outlook that I am the kind of person who jsut has $10k lying around. I made little note to remind myself to think about it. Sure enough things went really well, and in about 2 months I was $10k ahead.

Then the genie struck. A long, long time ago I had pretty much decided that the universe was like a genie, giving you what you ask for, with a negative twist. I had not contemplated the genie when manifesting the $10k. Sure enough about a week later I was approached twice about loaning money (one was a non-profit to make payroll, the other was a great friend going through a tiny rough patch). $11k out the window because I was the kind of guy who just had $10k lying around.

How can I gete rid of this genie/universe set up I created?

Thanks. I should mention that I thought about it several miles away, intended and imagined it, let the thoughts go, then, as I turned onto the street, had to push down the anxiety about where I would park and think about my intention again.

[Pooka]

I used Ati's approach to summon test-taking confidence on Friday. I started to panic hours before I even got into the classroom, as physics is my most difficult class, but I firmly told myself, "no! I'm capable, I can pass this test."

The multiple choice turned out to be easy, and I even managed to invent a method for solving the projectile motion problem. I may not have done it in an orthodox way, but I managed to get answers, which certainly satisfies me.

Thanks, intentions, and thanks for inspiring me, Ati!

[ReallyGoodIdeas]

Not sure if this is the same. I was in the supermarket looking for organic steaks for a barbecue today. Plenty of steaks there, but I couldn't find any organic ones, started to get mildly annoyed. Then thought positive, if they have no organic steaks I'll get organic mince and make hamburgers. Looked to my left where all the mince was, and sure enough plenty of organic mince. Looked back straight in front of me, and there they were, organic steaks right there in front of me all the time.

I'm not sure if this is manifestation The steaks were there the whole time. But maybe these things we manifest ARE there the whole time, we just have to see them?

[Ati]

Great posts here, really interesting!

ReallyGoodIdeas--maybe what you were intending was that you would FIND some organic steaks, and so you did!

Congrats, Pooka!

(Yesterday morning just before awakening, I had a dream that I received a letter in the mail saying "Congratulations, you have achieved 100% (on the examination I recently took)." Now, when I was in various types of schooling/training, I did get 100% from time to time, but on a 480 question (or so) standardized national exam, that's probably pretty unheard of. My dream reaction was, "oh, this is just some sort of spam (mixing up postal and internet mail in my dream ), that can't possibly be real, it's in the format of this type of exam result report and 100% isn't realistic" Then when I woke up, I thought, well OK, all I need for this thing is to pass it which means 70%. So, I'll take that dream as a positive omen that I passed it 100% (it's either 100% or 0% for this deal anyway, pass or fail). So, hopefully, my waking mind reversed my dream mind and turned the negative attraction of "this (good news) can't possibly be real" into a positive attraction. I'll take all the good luck anyone wishes to send me

ClassicDiner--How about framing ann intention which includes both the manifestation of abundance and consistent positive outcome from the abundance that you manifest? It would be neat to see that on our intentions sticky

Also, I wonder if you attract the "lying around" part of what you have in resources, as a negative attribute (a careless attitude, lack of purpose, lack of meaning), whether that just stimulates you to attract situations that fix that problem? Could it be that it was a real positive thing that you were able to help out your friend and the nonprofit? There is a line of thinking that tells us that the more we give away the more that comes back around to us....

Great deal, demk! Waiting for anger to pass (while you are sorting out your thinking (and crafting a good applicable intention to address the problem (taking a nice deep breath while doing so (and thereby clearing your mind and oxygenating your body))))) seems a real wise move to me....

All best,

Last year was pretty crappy for me, I was living with my father and stepmother who I do not get on with very well, my social life was'nt very good. Until one day around last xmas time I was talking with my sister about my situation and she suggested that I move out for my final year of university into a student flat.

I thought this was a great idea as I would be able to get out and have my own space and freedom, I began visualising living in a bargain priced flat with really easygoing flatmates. A few month later my friend from uni tells me he's looking for a new housemate for the next year I jumped at the chance to join him, not to long after my friend gives me the details of a great bargain priced student flat.

I phoned the landlord up and within a few weeks I have the flat secured for me and three other flatmates to move into for my final year. Over the summer I visualised how great things would be, I visualised making new friends having a great social life and having enough money without having to get a crappy part time job.

Just as I moved in and my final year began everything has began falling into place, I met new friends at uni through my flatmate, and I am now enjoying a great social life. Over the last month I have been visualising living in a big house and being a successful entrepreneur, with a few other seperate affirmations.

A few weeks ago, a guy who I made really good friends with recently said him and a friend were doing a part time business course and were thinking of setting up a business. I seen this as great sign and have now signed up to this business course with them and plan to go into business with them. This is looking promising and i'm going to continue visualising myself making lots of money from this potential business with my friends.

Anyway I hope this serves as proof to all you doubters out there, I still feel I have alot of work to do on myself regarding personaly development and alot to learn.

Yesterday my intention to change the weather ran smack into my belief that I cannot control the weather and was completely unsuccessful. However, when I was waiting to purchase something in a line that appeared to be stuck, at the only open register, and found myself worrying about how long it would take, I changed my thoughts with surprising results.

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?!

[ScottLee]

Right now, I'm manifesting greater sales from my store. My goal is to have $250 in base price sales for the month, and so far I've been getting almost a sale a day and my efforts are being fulfilled!
