How To Manifest For Free

I tried this exercise and guess what it works! This is from an e-mail that Nelson Berry sent to me.

"So what I wanted to do was give anybody the opportunity to manifest anything that they wanted to for basically free. The only thing that you need is a couple of good pencils or pens, and a notebook, just a standard, regular notebook.
So how do we do this?

Firstly this is a daily exercise. You don't miss a day. Second thing to remember is what we're doing is creating the future. It's a four step sequence. And so, without further ado, let's go ahead and get started.

This is going to absolutely blow your mind.
It takes about 30 days for it to kick in. It'll actually kick in instantly, but things will start manifesting and coming into your life very rapidly. I'd hate to say, you know, the old rule of thumb is 21 days, but I've seen it happen sooner, I've seen it happen longer. So the key is daily effort.

You need to do this exercise every single day without missing a day from here on out, pretty much. And as you start to get your new goal in you switch goals and do it on the next goal. So let's go ahead and get started. The first thing just open up a notebook and I've got mine here. Just open it up to a clean page.

At the top of the page you're going to write what it is that you want to happen, and attach a feeling to it. For example, let's talk about money since that seems to be what everyone is interested in. The first thing you attach the event and attach an emotion to it.

So step one is, "I…", and you want to state it in the form of as if it's happening right now, or if it's already happened. So step one would be, "I am making $200 dollars per day, and feel relieved and excited about my life, and look forward to more fun in the days to come."

What I've done there is made a statement. "I'm making $200 dollars per day." That's the objective. But I'm not saying, "I'm going to make $200 dollars per day," I'm saying, "I am making $200 per day," and that's how we're going to talk about this as if it's happening right now. What's going on? "I'm making $200 dollars per day," and we're talking about how it feels right now to make $200 dollars per day. You might be making minimum wage right now, but we're not talking about that. We're talking about you decided you wanted to make $200 dollars per day. Let's pretend like you're making $200 dollars per day, except this is not pretending, this is for real because what we feel and think on the inside attracts things on the outside to match what we feel like on the inside. I've got tons of proof how this works. I've done it a million times. It's wonderful.

This is free. This is a daily exercise, you asked for it, here it is. So that's step one. "I am making $200 dollars per day," and how do I feel? "I feel relieved and excited about my life, and I look forward to more fun in the days to come." That's something that I feel, and you want to pick something that you really feel in your words. How do you feel? Imagine that you're making $200 dollars per day, and how does it feel? And get up in that space to where you're making $200 dollars per day, and how does it feel, and write it down.

And then the second step to this is, and you write this out, "I support myself in making $200 dollars per day, and am grateful for my life and income." The key part of step two is, "I support myself in," whatever it is. "I support myself," okay? So that's the second step. And in this example, "I support myself in making $200 dollars per day, and am grateful for my life and income," that's something that I feel. Obviously gratitude's important. I'd suggest to you, consider that in your number two statement.

And then number three is the fun part. Number three is where you get up in there and you own it, and you talk about everything that's going on. And this is actually where you want to get up into that picture, and stay there, and hold it for as long as you can. So, for example, we'll just go through an example here. Number three is basically you describe, and you write down, and talk about feelings, and talk about how what's going on in your life.

Of course the $200 dollars in cash, you know, the paper part of it is not what we're looking for. We're looking for the emotion, and the lifestyle and what's it doing for you. What's it like? What's if feel like? What's it smell like? What's going on? What are other people saying? What's it feel like? So, in this example, I'm just going to write it out here. "I am so happy that I am now making $200 dollars per day. I feel so relieved. I am more relaxed. I can pay all my bills. I can do almost anything I want to." And you get the idea.

We're staying up in there, and what you need to do is to focus and stay up in there for a long time. I mean when I say a long time I'm talking like you want to go for five minutes a day if you can, and just keeping writing about it. And what you'll find is that this feeling will start to come up inside of you about how it feels as if you've already made $200 dollars per day.
Again, you might be making minimum wage, but that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about you already make $200 dollars per day, and how does it feel. And you do this exercise, and continue to write. This is not a journal. This is a specific written manifestation exercise. This is not like anything that you've probably ever done before. What happens is you get this feeling, and that feeling is the exact same feeling that you get when it actually happens.
Now, I have to emphasize, I don't know all the spiritual things that are at work here. What I do know is that this works. And what I also know is that when it actually happens that's the exact same feeling you'll get when it happens. So the purpose of this exercise is, is for you to get comfortable with that feeling. At first it might feel a little uncomfortable, but don't worry about it. Just keep writing. I mean it's a joyful pleasant experience because if you didn't want it in the first place it wouldn't be there, right?

I mean in step one, "I'm making $200 dollars per day," if you didn't want $200 dollars per day don't put that down there. If you want a girlfriend, boyfriend, love of your life, you want to get married, have kids, get a new house, pay off your credit cards, whatever it is. Because you can do whatever you want to do, okay?
Just, again, in step one it's whatever the event is and how you feel about it.

Step two is, "I support myself," in whatever it is.

And Step three is you get in there and you step into the picture as if it's happening right now, and you just stay there in writing. The writing helps you stay focused on it. And you'll have this feeling come up. You get used to feeling, get comfortable with it, get to know it, become a friend with it.
Then step four is similar to step two. Step four is a Thank You to your Higher Power for giving this to you and states it as if it has already happened, "Thank You so much for letting me make $200 per day and I'm very, very, very grateful for this opportunity. Thank you."
And that's it.
Is that simple enough?

A Hug From My Daughter

It is amazing what a hug can do. I got hug, totally spontaneous, not out of the ordinary, from my little girl (22yr old). What was so different about this hug is I was present for this one. I was actually in the now, You know as in this moment right here, now. And I totally enjoyed it. Thank you Eckhart Tolle! And thank you daughter. Sometimes I just marvel at all the good things that happen to me everyday! Who knew A Hug From My Daughter would make me stop and feel how truly blessed and loved I am. And I hugged her back! She came right up to me while I was working on the computer and threw her arms around me and told me that she loved me and it was worth all the gold in the world to me. Why am I going on and on about a hug? Because until you get a hug or give a hug and be truly, totally, absolutely and completely present for it you haven't experienced the true, pure, love that exists between human beings. So go ahead and hug somebody today! I can hear my daughter now when she reads this, You're such a dork, Mom! To that I'll reply, "But---You Love Me and my Dorky Self!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

FORGIVING ALL, WE WILL NEVER FORGET

TO FORGIVE, OR NOT TO FORGIVE

Yes, forgiveness, I have to talk about it because there was no going forward, no evolution in my quest for spiritual progression without it. There's no going forward in the human evolutionary process until you have forgiven everyone of everything. Old and New, of the past and of the present. And believe it or not of the future too. If not for the other person's sake for yours. I have had a whole lot to forgive, and some to be forgiven for.

I made my appearance into this world parent less. From the hospital I went directly into foster care home run by Ms. Guy. Somehow another I wound up at Ms. Lewis's where I thrived. A young naive little girl, who absolutely loved Ms. Lewis and obviously she loved me. I hung on her every word. I used to go to sleep feeling so loved, so safe ,so secure because I knew she'd be there to greet me when I woke up, I knew she loved me. And yes, I knew I had no parents because she has explained it to me and somehow in my childish way I accepted it, it didn't even matter because I had Mrs. Lewis.

After her husband died, she thought that I needed a home with two parents, so she sat me down and she explained the adoption process to me. Somehow my four year old little mind understood it. I reasoned that when the lady came to take me away from Ms.Lewis that I would kick and scream in protest. But somehow I couldn't hurt Ms. Lewis any more than I already knew she was hurting so when the lady came to take me away---to my new parents, I went bravely. When Ms. P was taking me away that day I remember looking back at Ms. Lewis, a sort of long goodbye, our eyes met and she and I said goodbye for the last time, in this life.

My new parents were anything but parents, they were physically, verbally, and sexually abusive to both myself and the son of whom they adopted along with me. My "mother" was the wicked witch of the North, South, East and West. LITERALLY. I didn't trust her from the beginning. My "father" was a little harder to gauge but that was all cleared up when he attempted to penetrate me at the age of five. It's funny how you can go from not having a care in the world one minute to having the world become a strange and unusual place the next.

WE SURVIVED, that is the important thing. WE survived all the truly reprehensible, unconscionable, truly evil things that you could not even imagine that was done to us. Yes us, me and my adoptive brother. Ms. Lewis had planted a seed in me before she let me go, the seed of God. It seemed as though there was no reason to go on living but, then there was God, this idea that somehow it was okay, whatever they were inflicting upon me and my adoptive brother, in the end they would have to answer to God. And God would make it alright. It has taken sometime but I finally rationalized that, because we are all connected (whether we like it or not) that THEY ACTUALLY DID EVERYTHING TO THEMSELVES, THAT THEY CALLED THEMSELVES DOING TO ME. AND IT WOULD BE MULTIPLIED 10 TIMES WHEN IT CAME BACK TO THEM. My job was to keep on fighting the good fight. To keep on being the good daughter to them irregardless to what they were doing to me I was determined to give them GOOD for their EVIL. I remember the very day that I made up my mind to do just that.
I was 7 years old, and it was a-matter-of-fact that I was going to give them something good or do something nice every time they did something evil. It became a sort of coping mechanism. Little did I know it was right on the money!


So yes, I've been down, down so far that I could not even look up. If I told you the whole story it would take the better part of two books! Once you start to forgive though, I mean truly forgive, there is something inside of you that just surrenders to the LIFE in you. There is a part of you that lets go of all the resistance to any type of discomfort in your life. You'll experience that "Peace that passes all understanding." And in that moment, you'll realize that no one or no thing can hurt you UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO BE HURT.

I want nothing more than for you to find forgiveness, experience forgiveness, forgiving yourself and others is the most freeing thing you can do. "It is one of the things about forgiveness you have to remember. It is not spiritual. It is part of real politics.
In forgiving, people are not being asked to forget. On the contrary, it is important to remember, so that we should not let such atrocities happen again. Forgiveness does not mean condoning what has been done. It means taking what happened seriously...drawing out the sting in the memory that threatens our entire existence."--- Mark Twain


"Forgiveness does not mean that we suppress anger; forgiveness means that we have asked for a miracle: the ability to see through mistakes that someone has made to the truth that lies in all of our hearts. Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness. Attack thoughts towards others are attack thoughts towards ourselves. The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive."---Marianne Williamson

Here's a FREE E-BOOK on FORGIVENESS: http://tinyurl.com/nbt62

To each and everyone who reads this: My Prayer Is That You Find True Forgiveness, Now And Forever. May Your Very Soul Embrace The Very Essence Of Forgiveness.

Inspiration From Ordinary Things

inspiration [defined]. in·spi·ra·tion / nsp re. n/ Pronunciation[in-spuh-rey-shuhn] –noun. 1. an inspiring or animating action or influence


As defined by Wiktionary :

  1. The act of inspiring or breathing in; breath; specif. (Physiol.), the drawing of air into the lungs, accomplished in mammals by elevation of the chest walls and flattening of the diaphragm; -- the opposite of expiration.
  2. The act or power of exercising an elevating or stimulating influence upon the intellect or emotions; the result of such influence which quickens or stimulates; as, the inspiration of occasion, of art, etc.
  3. supernatural divine influence on the prophets, apostles, or sacred writers, by which they were qualified to communicate moral or religious truth with authority; a supernatural influence which qualifies men to receive and communicate divine truth; also, the truth communicated.

I think the 2nd and especially the third definition deserves some discussion. The second definition, "The act or power of exercising an elevating or stimulating influence upon the intellect or emotions; the result of such influence which quickens or stimulates; as, the inspiration of occasion, of art, etc." --- I am totally in the belief that whatever we find ourselves doing on this level of life, we definitely should. You never know what effects your words, your actions, may have on another persons life. We never know how we may "quicken" or "stimulate" someone or something on this level of life so it is best to do what you can, while you can.

The 3rd definition, "A supernatural divine influence on the prophets, apostles, or sacred writers, by which they were qualified to communicate moral or religious truth with authority; a supernatural influence which qualifies men to receive and communicate divine truth; also, the truth communicated" MY POINT EXACTLY---If you are a "HUMAN BEING" why on earth would you be on the Internet (or anywhere else) charging exorbant amounts for receiving and communicating divine truths???!!! I can see covering your initial costs to print and ship the material if it must be printed and shipped. But I DO NOT SEE THE EXCLUSIONARY, GREED THAT IS GOING ON. I want to name names so badly now that it is not even funny! THE RECEIPT AND COMMUNICATION OF DIVINE TRUTHS SHOULD BE FREE (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF COVERING YOUR BASIC COSTS) ---It is just not right.---It's like you're communicating a certain level of class and status to a person who does have the money to buy whatever exclusive Divine Methodology you are currently peddling. When ALL KNOWLEDGE, ESPECIALLY, DIVINE KNOWLEDGE IS SUPPOSE TO BE FREE!!! Each one reach one regardless of economic status. DIVINE TRUTHS SHOULD NOT BE PEDDLED ON THE INTERNET OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER!!! They are to be SHARED between Human Beings Freely. You have a DIVINE RIGHT TO KNOW THESE TRUTHS AND A DOLLAR SHOULD NOT COME BETWEEN YOU AND THAT KNOWLEDGE!!!

Now back to the matter at hand. Inspiration. I am inspired every time I am aware of my very existence. I had to work at that though. My story is far too sad and I don't even want to dwell on the past anymore simply because it is the past, let's leave it there. Inspiration is something that once I became aware of the depth and breadth of it, I sought to purposely have it in my life everyday. I report in a fashion blog everyday and I make it a point to always end my article with a positive quote. The walls in my office have positive quotes on them. I am working on an invention to bring positive quotes to you in a new and exciting way. I subscribed to websites that have something positive to say everyday. One such website is Mike Dooley (one of "The Secret" participants). I was more than grateful for this e-mail as I was having a rough day. When I read it my whole attitude and perspective changed and I went on to have a Fantastic day! The email read:

There are no accidents, Michelle.
If it's appeared on your life radar, this is why: to teach you that dreams come true; to reveal that you have the power to fix what's broken and heal what hurts; to catapult you beyond seeing with just your physical senses; and to lift the veils that have kept you from seeing that you're already the person you dreamed you'd become.
And believe me, that was one heck of a dream.
Tallyho,The Universe

Wow! It's as if he wrote that directly to me because you see it was exactly what I needed to hear at the exact time I opened the email! This little email turned my entire day around and I read it everyday, that's how much it means to me. When you get an opportunity, you can go to Mike's site at http://www.tut.com/ sign up for his FREE E-MAIL SERVICE and you'll get little gems like this in your in-box too. A little warning: you will think that Mike is writing directly to you, his e-mails are so on target!

You Already Are Whatever You Wish To Be


I am definitely on my way to becoming Enlightened. In fact for all practical purposes I AM Enlightened. It's a matter of me totally stepping into it. If you want to become Enlightened, I want nothing more than for you to become Enlightened.


Just what exactly is Enlightenment and how does one achieve it? According to Kant, he indicates right away that the 'way out' that characterizes Enlightenment is a process that releases us from the status of 'immaturity.' And by 'immaturity,' he means a certain state of our will that makes us accept someone else's authority to lead us in areas where the use of reason is called for. Kant gives three examples: we are in a state of 'immaturity' when a book takes the place of our understanding, when a spiritual director takes the place of our conscience, when a doctor decides for us what our diet is to be. In any case, ENLIGHTENMENT IS DEFINED BY A MODIFICATION OF THE PREEXISTING RELATION LINKING WILL, AUTHORITY, AND THE USE OF REASON.


Thus we have all sorts of websites aimed at teaching you "The Secret," "The Law of Attraction," "How To Attract Anything You Wish in No Time At All."One guy in particular used to get on my nerves before I read "The Power of Now" and "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle. These books were great in their intention to help me open up my mind to all the possibilities that there are for me. I mean everytime I got on the internet research some things, bam! here comes another website telling me if I could kindly send them anywhere from $97.00 to $2,900.00 they could lead the way I'd be forever Enlightened and I'd be able to attract absolutely anything into my life. I mean all I had to do was look at the respective author and see how his/her life was prospering and follow his/her program and WahLa! my life would be transformed! (By the way, they did not mention the money from the sale of whatever was a good portion of their wealth!) I now know how Jesus felt when he walked into the temple!
There are 7 Spiritual Laws that one must respect. In Deepak Chopra's book "The Seven Spiritual Laws Of Success," Chopra explains them like this:
1. The Law of Pure Potentiality
“The source of all creation is pure consciousness… pure potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest.
And when we realize that our true Self is one of pure potentiality,we align with the power that manifests everything in the universe.“
Example Application:
‘I will practice non-judgment. I will begin my day with the statement, “Today, I shall judge nothing that occurs,” and throughout the day I will remind myself not to judge.’
2. The Law of Giving
“The universe operates through dynamic exchange…giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe.
And in our willingness to give that which we seek,we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.“
Example Application:
‘Wherever I go, and whoever I encounter, I will bring them a gift. The gift may be a compliment, a flower, or a prayer. Today, I will give something to everyone I come into contact with, and so I will begin the process of circulating joy, wealth and affluence in my life and in the lives of others.’
‘I will make a commitment to keep wealth circulating in my life by giving and receiving life’s most precious gifts: the gifts of caring, affection, appreciation, and love. Each time I meet someone, I will silently wish them happiness, joy, and laughter.’
3. The Law of Cause and Effect
“Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind . .what we sow is what we reap.
And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others,the fruit of our karma is happiness and success.”
Example Application:
‘Whenever I make a choice, I will ask myself two questions: “What are the consequences of this choice that I’m making?” and “Will this choice bring fulfillment and happiness to me and also to those who are affected by this choice?”‘
4. The Law of Least Effort
“Nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease . . .with carefreeness, harmony, and love.
And when we harness the forces of harmony, joy, and love,we create success and good fortune with effortless ease.“
Example Application:
‘I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.’
‘Today my awareness will remain established in Defenselessness. I will relinquish the need to defend my point of view. I will feel no need to convince or persuade others to accept my point of view. I will remain open to all points of view and not be rigidly attached to any one of them.’
5. The Law of Intention and Desire
“Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment . . .Intention and desire in the field of pure potentiality have infinite organizing power.
And when we introduce an intention in the fertile ground of pure potentiality,we put this infinite organizing power to work for us.“
Example Application:
“I will make a list of all my desires. I will carry this list with me wherever I go. I will look at this list before I go into my silence and meditation. I will look at it before I go to sleep at night. I will look at it when I wake up in the morning.”
6. The Law of Detachment
“In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty . . .in the wisdom of uncertainty list the freedom from our past, from the known,which is the prison of past conditioning.
And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities,we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.“
Example Application:
“Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and those around me the freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be. I will not force solutions on problems, thereby creating new problems. I will participate in everything with detachment involvement.”
7. The Law of Purpose in Life
“Everyone has a purpose in life . . . a unique gift or special talent to give to others.
And when we blend this unique talent with service to others,we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit,which is the ultimate goal of all goals.“
Example Application:
‘I will make a list of my unique talents. Then I will list all the things that I love to do while expressing my unique talents. When I express my unique talents and use them in the service of humanity, I lose track of time and create abundance in my life as well in the lives of others.’
‘I will ask myself daily, “How can I serve?” and “How can I help?” The answers to these questions will allow me to help and serve my fellow human beings with love.’
Tomorrow we'll go to other places, and GIVE you other things that won't cost you your keyboard and monitor! Do me a favor ok? Remember that you already are whom you wish to become and you already have that which you want.
