A Confirming Gift: My Intentions Are Working

Of course we ask for and manifest many things for ourselves and it is always welcome to experience those successful results. For those larger intentions we send out to others, the effects are harder to see. One of Nancy’s intentions has a global reach and she was gifted with the knowledge that she made a difference with someone in need in another country. Our thoughts create powerfully. Ken  Nancy Rynes writes: After being in a serious accident that resulted in my being rushed to the hospital and flatlining there, I found myself in a non-physical realm for the equivalent of a couple of months of our time. I experienced many things and was taught much during my time there. Since a book was dictated to me, I wrote it all down, published it, and put it out into the world. I am well aware of the power of intentions, manifesting and prayer. My goal with these is to make the planet a better place, which leads me to this story. One of my intentions is to have the biggest, most beneficial effect possible on this planet. A few days ago, right after I had done my morning prayer, intention, and visualization work, I got a message from a stranger overseas. The woman served in a church and contacted me on the behalf of another church member, a young woman who had read my book and watched my videos on YouTube. The young woman, we will call her Dana, was raised in a very troubled, sometimes-violent home. Her parents had been addicts, and her father was extremely abusive to Dana on several occasions. One such incident resulted in Dana having multiple, serious injuries, which led to her having her own near-death experience (NDE). Dana’s life was difficult on many fronts as she grew to adulthood. Fortunately, her loving, Heavenly experience has helped her to free herself from the effects of that family trauma, and she is living a much better life now. I was touched by Dana’s story and that the information that I was given and passed on had reached Dana and several of her fellow church members in another country. I am in service to do just that and it is heartening to receive that call confirming that my intention, “To have the biggest, most beneficial effect possible on this planet” was done. We never know just how far our positive words and actions will travel, and the ripple-effects of love that they might bring to people we will never meet. And remember too, we are endowed with the power to create, and our thoughts and prayers are heard.

Think It, Pray It, Do Something With It!

Please don’t let those good ideas fade away… continue to manifest them. M. said, “I spent some time on the idea but always had to let it go.” Then she shifted, drawing that idea to her by praying for it. Her thoughts were continuing to manifest alongside her prayers. Although her manifesting was not as direct and at a lesser degree and strength, her prayers and manifesting were a very powerful combination. Bravo M.! Ken   M. writes: As a single mom with two young children, there are endless opportunities for their benefit and often, limited funds to make that happen. My 9-year-old daughter has many interests and recently, she has been attracted to horses. Being in close contact to horses would be a great experience for her on many levels, plus it would be great fun…and for mom too. The subject of horses would come up from time to time and I was hopeful that something affordable would present itself since riding lessons were out of reach financially. I spent some time on the idea but always had to let it go. Then a possible solution presented itself. It was to use a tool I should apply more often. When answers to problems are needed, large or small, why not use prayer to find a solution? Lacking any other options, that’s what I did. I simply asked for my daughter to have the time with horses that she desired. It was a simple statement without conditions,  and I let it go. Shortly after, I got a call from a friend. She had purchased a raffle ticket with the prize being lessons that entailed a lot of time handling horses! My friend had immediately called me to see if my daughter and son might be interested in the lessons. I was thrilled and when I told my children and they were over the top with the idea! What a thrill to be surprised! Manifest, pray…. Put your intention out there! M.   Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.

Add These to Your Manifesting: Perfection and the Idea of an Ease and Grace (reprise)

Often when we make our wish, offer up a prayer or purposely manifest, it sometimes feels like we are writing a contract and our intent is to make it the best one possible. One typical strategy would be to add numerous details and cover all the bases. It is difficult to know all the possible outcomes for each of those possible scenarios, and a different set of details would likely be required for each one. Since we are not All Knowing, there is much that is beyond our understanding – a big handicap. So, let’s find a way to overcome our limited view and at the same time, let go of needless, fear-based detail. How about the idea of asking for the perfect outcome? We are all deserving of some perfection in our lives, so let’s not trip up on being unworthy. Think of how powerful and efficient it is to specify an ideal result. So how does that work out? Sometimes things come together very quickly, miraculous even, but more often, the desired result comes together over time. Take for example, the idea of having that perfect career. The present job is not the ideal, but thankfully, a really good opportunity presents itself and it is happily accepted. This new position is better, but after awhile it still falls short. It was a good place to be however, and the time was not wasted there. What often comes next is the career that was dreamed of and it’s perfect for that person. Gratitude lights up the sky! Here’s one more tip: Ask for these things to come with an Ease and a Grace. Cover the bases efficiently, minus those details, and ask for something other than hardship to reach your goals. In our lives, let’s simply cross the street without having to dodge the traffic. I’m oversimplifying, but there is great power in adding the phrase Ease and a Grace to all that you ask for. Now that’s a way to write a contract! Here’s asking that all things come to you with an Ease and a Grace as well and that you will have more perfection in your lives. Ken   Want more?

Thoughts and Dreams of India. How Can They Possibility Come True?

Our repetitive thoughts create reality and the book describes how this occurs. In E’s story, she is thinking of India over a period of years and didn’t let that idea go. Regardless of the difficulties of making that happen, her thoughts created a possible path. Our thoughts are powerful builders. Ken E. writes: I have always wanted to go to India but it never worked out. Later I got married and the idea seemed further out of reach. Then moving years forward in time, I was going through a divorce and the dream to going to India was still there, but I couldn’t imagine leaving my children to do so. Then an opportunity presented itself. A friend told me about her trip to India where she studied yoga and meditation and I thought about it and I was like, maybe I can do this now, so I called and I signed up, hoping they would have a spot for me and that somehow, this would all come together. I could go there, see another culture and learn serious yoga at a teaching site and its benefits into my life. It wasn’t a big spiritual thing, just a tiny bit, but more as a step-up in my personal journey of wherever I was supposed to be and trusting myself. At the time, I was super afraid of so many things and it took a lot of courage for me to go there and leave to leave my 2 kids for 7 weeks. While waiting to see if my application would be accepted, I went on a really long bike ride by myself at Crested Butte, Colorado. It was on my bike ride there that I heard Native American singing in the background. It felt like it was something like music from India. It was so weird I juat stopped and listened as the music wafted in and out. I was completely by myself – there wasn’t anyone else on this mountain trail. Returning from the bike trip, I got a notice saying that they had a spot open at the teaching site, provided I went there in the next month. I had never been out of North America, but I moved forward, continuing to envision that all would come together. If it works out that’s great and if it doesn’t, that’s ok. Being there would be very inexpensive but the logistics felt complicated to me. I was also fearful about leaving my children and being 7 weeks in a foreign country on my own. Regardless, I moved forward to make this happen and continued to let things unfold. It took a lot of courage for me. My now ex-husband agreed to keep the children and in 4-6 weeks after I heard that music on the mountain, I was in India. Everything worked out with my visas and the complications of overseas travel planning. I held to my thoughts, my dreams, and they were coming true. I would soon be on that plane. Everything came together the way that it was supposed to. My biggest concern was that my kids would be so angry at me for leaving them during that time, but something in my heart was telling me that we all needed to know that there was more out there in the world, things that would be inspirational to all of us. Finally in India, I experienced many remarkable things. An early one was being on the bus, looking at the Indian landscapes going by and how it seemed  so familiar to me, as if from another time. On my arrival, I was swindled with cab drivers, etc. for the first few days before reaching my destination and I got into some difficult situations. Fortunately, a kind Australian showed up and got me safely where I needed to go. He was quite the experienced traveller, having visited 80 countries. He was just the expert I needed. All was taken care of! After the experience of India, I was so much more grateful and appreciative of what I have. I also became more trusting of myself and less fearful. At the time, my kids were very angry at my leaving, but even now they still talk about that trip and the stories I brought them. They admire that I went and it shows that they can do things like that themselves someday. Keep your dreams in your mind and heart. Let it guide you and don’t let go, keep dreaming because there’s always that possibility of your dreams coming true. E.   Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.

Planting the Flag: Great Result Without the Fear

This is an earlier story that bears repeating. it is another form of intention that targets a specific outcome without fear. Planting the flag combines your manifesting thoughts with the surety of your taking physical action, in this case, writing that check. It’s a very powerful combination! Ken Sophia writes: I love my car. It is a luxury SUV with a lot of miles on it. I bought it used from someone that really took care of it, taking it to the dealer for every service. I got it at a good price, so I put more money into having the exterior made perfect at the body shop. That was two years ago and it is a gem, just like new! Recently, the car began making a new sound when it was running, kind of a put-put, motorboat sound. In the back of my mind, it might mean an engine replacement or having to spend even more money on another car. The person I bought the car from heard the sound and had the same concerns…. Not good, so we both put off talking about it for a few weeks. He got back to me with this idea. Take it to the dealer and see what they say. If it means a new engine, he would pick up some of the cost and I would cover the rest, even though that engine replacement would cost in the thousands. In the Manifesting 123 book, this is called “Planting the Flag.”  What that means is that we are both prepared to write checks to cover what could be a very big expense. We are also manifesting that my SUV will run just fine and a new car will not be required. If the repair bill is large or small, the result will be the same. The bill will be paid and the car will be made good again. A “flag” has been planted out in the future, symbolizing the desired outcome. Here is the important part: There would not be any negative money concerns that would get in the way of my happy result. Either way, my friend and I are going to pay what it takes. Done. Worries off the table, now move forward. We could get lucky. The engine seemed to be running fine with full power, so perhaps that put-put is something really simple like a bad connection or sound leak somewhere. A few days later I made an appointment and dropped my car off at the dealer. They were efficient because in just a few hours I got the news. They explained that this was a high-mileage car and to do an engine replacement with even a used, warranted engine was going to be even more than I expected. Eventually it was going to have to be done if I continued to keep the car. I took a deep breath and considered the thousands of dollars going out. “Oh, by the way,” he said, “that engine sound was a small problem with the muffler connection. Completely repairing the sound problem would be $150 and the car will be ready for you tomorrow.” That was Fantastic News!! There was no need to do any engine work until much further down the road. I was much relieved and so was my friend. The small repair expense was a no-brainer – for both of us.…whew! Looking back, I was much releived once I decided that no matter what, the car repair would be paid. I knew that a good decision had been made and I would move to have the work done right away. My friend and I were both manifesting that the mechanical problem would be easily solved without a big sacrifice on our part. Our minds were free of any financial fears or reservations. Money would be spent and the repair would be great. It worked out sweet!!! Planting the flag was a big help! Sophia Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.

An Extraordinary Seed Story: A Remarkable Medical Outcome

D. writes: When we last talked, I told you my doctor found two areas of cancer as tumors. A couple of weeks earlier, they took three or four mammograms and sonograms, discovered the tumors and naturally, I had been worrying about it all that time. So during our call, I asked if you would send me some good energy. You said you would and then you told me about a recent conversation you had with Judy Goodman regarding the Extraordinary Seed that we can ask God or Source to send to others or ourselves. You had recently written it up in the Manifesting 1,2,3 newsletter and explained it to me. (Here is the complete Extraordinary Seed how-to information in the previous newsletter.) You told me you would ask for the Extraordinary Seed to be sent to me and when I repeated the words, Extraordinary Seed, reflexively, this little puff of breath came out of my mouth, I had never experienced a reaction like that before. I had planned an out of town trip and when I returned days later, I had to go in to biopsy on the tumors and determine the type of cancer. For the procedure, I was strapped to the table and the biopsy began when suddenly one of the technicians said, “She doesn’t have a pulse!” I was suddenly feeling very clammy and while looking at the monitor, my blood pressure fell to 28/17. I quickly recovered on the table and after that shakey ordeal, I had to wait for the biopsy results. Soon after, the doctor got back to me and said the results were quite amazing. Yes, there were tumors but very unusual ones. The tumors had calcifications and were not cancerous. He said it was very rare to see tumors like this and declared that I was all clear! I just have to tell you how thankful I am and I thank God for what feels like a miracle happened. I feel like you and Judy are a part of it and please pass my thanks onto Judy as well. D. Thank you so much D. I am so very glad I had that helpful information from Judy to pass on to you and I am thrilled for your amazing success. Judy and I had our small part to play but the real credit goes to you and the Power beyond us. What a thrilling outcome! Ken   Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.

With Very Little Effort, Good Things Came to Me!

When we repeat a thought, it is building in the non-physical realm nearby. This is not wishing or hoping, it is how creation works. Big or subtle thoughts only need be repeated to create form or concepts. It’s all in the book and thanks to Leslie, she explains how a repeated, subtle intention created something valuable and tailor-made for her. Ken As an artist, I know it is important to be seen and as a person that formally worked at a major metro newspaper, I understand how difficult it is to persuade an editor to do a feature on your artwork among the hundreds of other viable artists. I keep a manifesting and gratitude regimen going and it has worked well for me over the years, but I wanted to let you know about something that has been successful for me even without my putting much effort into it. Around the beginning of each year, I make a list of what has been working for me and also of those things I desire. It’s pretty simple and I put it into a file just for that purpose on my iPad. One of the things I want to create is more publicity in the form of magazine or newspaper articles. It takes a tremendous amount of time away from my painting to make this happen. First, you have to come up with a story idea to pitch to an editor and depending on the publication, each organization has submission protocols that must be researched and followed before approaching them. That’s why I have this PR item on my list as an intention, a wish that those articles will just happen somehow and without my making the effort. From time to time, I refer to that list since it has other information I need to retrieve and when I look at it, I see the PR item and my desire for that to happen. The thought stays close to me this way, but it is not a daily manifesting action on my part. I was talking to another artist the other day and the topics of self promotion and manifesting came up. That’s when I fully realized what has been happening for me these last two years. The first instance was during the time of a one-person gallery show I was scheduled for. The local paper had just hired a new arts and entertainment reporter and promptly assigned the person to cover my show. It was a very good article, large and splashy in that I was prominently featured and written about, just the thing for a big exhibit! That was followed months later with another article in a large, Colorado metro paper. It was great timing in that it kept my name out there with the public as if I had an ad budget and timetable. Turns out that I used to work with the person that set it all up when we both worked at the Denver Post. Grateful! For another article, I did hire a writer to do a piece on me and we quickly landed a remarkable, multi-page spread in one of the most prestigious magazines in the state. It was beyond the beyond and people still remember seeing it. That is the kind of reach you can’t buy and it’s a pretty good proof of how our thoughts, so-called large or small, can make things happen!!

Thoughts and Actions Created Healing

This is a story about inspiration, creation and healing. The artist Lyle Sopel was inspired to create something new and wonderful. In turn, another was also inspired to also create something very important to her. All of this illustrates the power of our thoughts if we are willing to use them. Please do! Ken I’m an internationally recognized sculptor, working in rare minerals and precious stones. My unique designs and skills have a large following and I am very fortunate to have clients all over the world. I’m always looking for new and innovative ideas, never knowing where inspiration will strike. For this particular story, the inspiration came when I heard the phrase in my head, “Your love pierced my heart.” How very interesting to have a thought like that. I told my wife Colette about it and together we started looking at hearts. I put the idea out into my Facebook community to see what might come back from that. Staying on that theme, I found a coral in the studio that would make a perfect heart. I did hear back from one of my fans. After doing a live Facebook episode demonstrating how I was creating this heart themed composition. She reported some disturbing medical news that she had recently suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized. While spending time  in recovery, she was repeatedly focusing on a series of videos I had done on the subject of creativity. Alongside the creative theme, there were also ideas about meditation and making things happen in a positive way. She was using these videos in a positive way to create her own successful recovery. One of those videos showed the creation of my newest sculpture series, the three hearts. Shortly after, I received a written message from my friend, she reported she had an extremely fast recovery. And she attributed this to watching the episodes of my working in the studio with these heart sculptures. The creativity videos It was the best possible outcome and she attributed it to focusing on creating her own remarkable, healing story. She had her own inspiration. It came through those videos, particularly the one of my creating this heart series. Looking back, I was inspired to make them from a thought that came to me. I immediately took action, began constructing the hearts and even made a video of the process. That single inspiration went further than I would’ve ever dreamed. Our thoughts can create marvelous things! Lyle Sopel Visit the artist’s website Sculpture video: The Spiritual, Romantic and Fury of Love Hearts Trilogy   Want more?

Forceful Intentions and Positive Changes = Remarkable Outcomes!

This is a story about claiming and using the personal power that is our birthright. N. followed with action and opening herself to good outcomes without limits. Ken N. writes: For the last 4 months I have been planning on moving from the house I presently own. At the moment, it is much easier to sell good homes than it is to find another. I have been working very hard to find a good rental while I consider where and how I want to live next. I responded to a large number of rental offers and never got a single call back. That’s discouraging! Add to that, a recent romantic breakup and a very serious hospital stay and you have a better idea of the frustrating times I have been going through. I decided it was time to turn this around, so I got out of bed and declared myself more powerful. I am very aware of how manifesting works and how vocalizing my intentions give them more strength. So, I stood in front of a mirror and considered what to do. The last time I tried this, I only knew a bit of what I wanted and those intentions I did put out lacked a strong will on my part. I’m thinking about why I am here? What did I come into this life for? What would make me happy? I was ready this time, looked at myself in the mirror, decided to stand in my power and I forcefully stated out loud: That I clearly see my new home, not the rental, and I will have the financial abundance to make it happen. I will be with my right mate I am not going to cry and go down again. My health will be much improved with little pain. I will break out of my cycle of difficult health problems. The right things will be brought to me and keep me on my soul’s correct path. Happiness  Then I declared that I am open and worthy to receive these magical blessings. That was a powerful moment and following that, I declared that I wouldn’t spend 6 hours a day on the computer trying to find that rental. Later, I went back to some gardening, swimming and contacting friends for 1 on 1 meet ups to break the covid isolation I had been in. Oh, and a manicure – the works! It felt great and I had successfully resurrected my mind, body and soul and forcefully set a healthy and happy course forward. Within three days this is what happened: A woman saw my ad requesting a rental and she called me! I went right over. I was surprised to see that is was newly updated, included a space for my work as an artist, and was 5 minutes from my present home – perfect! I then received a request from out of state to illustrate a children’s book, a new and profitable opportunity. The following day I was contacted by a very nice man who knew about me though a spiritual group and stated that he was growing very curious and interested in me. Three messages later, he asked me out. When he came by to pick me up, he walked in and I said to myself, “Oh Lord, you did good!” I will not go back to the person I once was and I will not try to force what I think is the best outcome and I am confidently moving forward. It’s like the phrase in the book, “Point yourself to happiness.” N. Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.
