Living in Gratefulness and Gratitude as a Tool

What is the feeling you get when someone thanks you? I remember being thanked so deeply that my sincerest, “You’re welcome,” did not equal what I was given. I felt that heartfelt thanks, their words of gratitude. In the book, Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3, gratitude is shown to be a very important tool for increasing the power of your thoughts. With the simple addition of gratitude you can manifest more powerfully and efficiently. When you engage one of the two great powers in the Universe, Love or Fear with your thoughts, you have engaged creation itself. Your positive or negative thoughts are creating right now so here is some great information from a previous newsletter, the how-to of gratitude. Why the Gratefulness? Gratitude is a true power and we can feel its effects when it is focused on us. It’s also true that your use of gratitude can be felt by others and like any good tool, it can be used to effect changes, large and small. About those Grateful Things: I still remember the time Judy Goodman made this statement in her workshop, “Every day, think of 7 Grateful Things.” Judy can directly see how gratitude changes the energetic field around us in a favorable way, so she highly recommends the practice. The first time she mentioned this, I thought it was a nice piece of advice. Now I understand how fundamental it is on so many levels, so much so that I made it a section in the book, thank you Judy! Here are just some of the things that gratitude can do: Internally, it makes you more aware. Being grateful has a side effect of making you happier. People can see that you are grateful and it is happily infectious. Gratitude may not make you stronger, but it is a big tool for dealing with problems. You will see how much of the world divides into Love or Fear. Where do you want to be? Please remember that when you are adding either gratitude or worry / love or fear to your repetitive thoughts, your idea begins to take form mor powerfully and efficiently. Thanksgiving is a beautiful reminder to be grateful and join hands and hearts together in calm and love. I am grateful for you this holiday season and always, Ken Go to the Interviews page to see and hear Ken talking about Manifesting 123.

Manifesting Tip: The Value of Flexibility

I recently had a conversation with my good friend Barbara about the idea of manifesting and surrender, a topic covered in this newsletter last month: How to Deal with Fear and About the Idea of Surrender She talked about her recent, private session with Judy Goodman and relayed some important suggestions Judy had made. Judy is the person mentioned numerous times in Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3. Among her many gifts is the ability to watch our thoughts coalesce into form in the ‘spirit,’ non-physical realm around us. Judy’s experiences allow her amazing insights into what our prayers and thoughts do. It is a delight and privilege to pass this important information onto you, so thank you Barbara and Judy. After hearing this specific information from Judy, Barbara likes to label this as the idea of flexibility. Often we get very specific when asking or manifesting outcomes for that job, lifestyle, or partner. Judy offers that the God of your understanding, as Judy likes to say, doesn’t need that level of detail. Our view of potential outcomes is very limited. Regardless, we press on to create our best outcome without realizing that we are actually suggesting or even demanding a lesser solution. Here’s a suggestion, leave out the smaller details and keep to the big picture. If you could create the best possible outcome then why settle for less? We are worthy. Our prayers are heard and further, we can create with our thoughts, and that brings up two variables. What will the outcome look like and when? For decades I have heard Judy offer this ideal phrase, “Ask that your best and highest intentions be done.” That covers a lot of territory and it also lessens the burden of the what or when.  Barbara likes to add, “… and that it has opened up and is rapidly rushing to me now,” a nice touch. Our idea of perfecting the outcome is another way of saying, “I won’t have it unless it is this.” I like the song by Garth Brooks, Unanswered Prayers. “Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Remember when you’re talkin’ to the man upstairs That just because he may not answer doesn’t mean he don’t care. Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered.” Our lives proceed in a series of planned and unplanned steps. It may be the job that takes care of us for now but it is not the ultimate career choice. We have the opportunity to gracefully learn during this time. We can also be stubborn and resist the idea that we are in a good place for the moment. All is well and worth our gratitude, but we feel a lack, and it creates misery for ourselves. It comes back to the idea of asking and manifesting the best possible future and being flexible about the timing and the path it will take. Allow yourself what Barbara calls the joy of the beautiful surprise, How may times have we been thrilled by an outcome better that we could possibly imagine? These beautiful moments are yours for the asking. What would the best and highest good in your life look like? It may take some courage and flexibility on your part but that powerful phrase suggests fulfillment and happiness. Make your happy and intriguing future come true.

Moved to Manifest Quickly!

My dream came true… I moved into a casita in Santa Fe, NM. The land of enchantment, big blue skies, striking landscape and culture. I was in heaven! Everything was perfect until four months later when everything changed. The owner of the casita gave me notice that he wanted to take back the space I was renting and repurpose it to an art studio. I was crushed and suddenly without a place to live… not enchanting. Now I had to come up with something fast. I had just moved in, a real effort and the move would have to be repeated again. At least I had a lot of things in storage, so those items could just stay there. That got me to thinking. The casita was really good to a point, but ideally a bigger place would be even better, what I really needed. How could I afford something larger? I was just getting by financially, renting the small casita. A plan was made. First, I would manifest my next home. I now had more clarity and realized that the casita was only perfect at the time. Going forward, more space would be much better. Second, the financials had to work. I had been in limited thinking, assuming the small space was all I could manifest, but no longer. I took advantage of a great asset in my neighborhood – an online community that functioned like a local want-ad and sales venue. It was free to post anything so I announced that I was looking for a place to rent. An answer came back quickly, “Can you afford a house?” I was surprised at the unusual response. My wheels were turning. I was moving out of limited thinking, I told myself, and here is this much larger opportunity. Was I ready? Could I do this? I called him back and said yes. The house was beautiful and all of my things would fit. I could live there on my own, unlike the former casita that was close by the main house, putting limits on my privacy. This was a serious decision because the new rent would be double the casita. I committed to the bigger house and moved in, including the rest of my things that had been in storage for 2 years. In sync with my move a wonderful thing happened. In just under three weeks, my income quickly increased, almost double, and my higher rental fee was quickly covered. My business income continues to improve, making my decision look like a smart and practical idea. I looked back and thought about how this all came about. While I was still living in the casita, I decided to be more flexible in my thinking – what was possible. Shortly after, I was gifted a personal session with Judy Goodman. Judy is one of the main teachers in Ken’s book. It was a day of clarity and possibilities. I learned that I had been on the right track by being more flexible in my thinking. Judy also suggested the idea of clearly specifying my desires and going into a gentle surrender. The entire idea is to move to a place of our best and highest good without using too much detail or control of the timing. Looking back it, seemed like a jump off a high dive to move into the larger home, but now all is well and comfortable. I was moved out of a place that was just OK for me and was presented the opportunity and information to manifest something far better for myself. I said yes. Thank you!

Can I Manifest the Necessary Raise?

This is not the first time Angeline and her daughters have sent in manifesting stories for this newsletter. They get results by using all the available tools: prayer, vision boards (see below) and Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3. They don’t hold back and neither should we. This all happened in two months. How inspiring! Thank you, Angeline. Ken Angeline writes: My current salary is under $30,000. For years I have been doing a very good job for my employers, living frugally with my two daughters.  All of us have been walking or taking a bus to school and work for years. My work space up to this point was very small, a bit like a closet with a small door. shared with another co-worker, and windowless. I decided to  pray and manifest and a better income for the kids and myself. So I took your advice about searching for a job. I went all in to pray and manifest a better job and pay. Then I stopped hunting for work and instead, I just posted my resume on the internet job sites and put the word out to a few people. This was not my first job search and I have done well in the past, but this time I am manifesting that the new job and much better pay will come to me in some way. I am aiming very high and manifesting a salary of $50 – $53,000.  I love those words and I totally welcome the higher salary because I know I am worthy of it and more. I made up my mind that I will not accept any lower, otherwise I will sit it out until an offer hits my goal. Also, I stopped seeking a job from a place of desperation and boy, the flood gates opened, Suddenly I was picking and choosing from the offers coming in, deciding which jobs I want to interview with. What a turnaround! Apparently I am now in demand because a number of companies are suddenly contacting me for interviews. Two businesses got my attention. One of the companies got my number because someone in a very high position raved about my awesomeness. – a nice recommendation. For these two interviews I am planning on requesting the $50,000 yearly salary. The first interview went very well and I received a very good offer, but short of what I have been working toward. Sometimes I’m in awe of my faith, what prayer can do and the many things I have specifically manifested in the past. I feel deserving of the higher salary for my girls and me and after going over everything in my mind, and I readied myself for interview #2. This second interview also went well but the salary came in $14000 below my goal. After hanging up, I took a deep breath and said,” Universe I strongly believe you have my back and with that I will wait until I receive my fair share of the harvest. I know the number I’m asking for might seem outrageous and far fetched, but that is my story and I’m sticking to it.” I followed up by telling the Universe, God, my angels and all those helping me in spirit, “Thank you” for carrying me this far. There would be a call back to further negotiate my salary and I was hoping it would be soon. The next morning it was off to work and I used the time to be in gratitude. I thanked the pavement as I walked to my present job, thanked the over-grown shrubs, thanked the sun, and thanked the 2 ladies in accounting in that tried to make my work life a misery. I took a deep breath, smiled, and turned up the music in my earphones as I continued my walk to work. I felt good and went to work without obsessing over the process. Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait long. This company had first offered $36,000 and I turned it down. Early that day I receive a text and was asked if I could call the decision maker and set up a meeting to discuss what I wanted. I opened the meeting explaining that I had a previous offer in the high $40s. I’m in a good place but I have put in a good and solid effort to manifest more. Long story short, I accepted $43,000, plus a monthly bonus and he will pay off my remaining car training courses. (I am not in the US and for me to get a driver’s license, I have to take car courses first.) Further, in 6 months my pay goes to the mid $50s with a promotion to assistant manager. It gets even better, because in a year my salary will go to $60,000!!! So I just finished signing the contract and contacted you with my story. And there is a bit more.. I accepted this job without seeing the building. When I went to work on my first day, the office was larger, but without windows. Guess what? A few hours into my first day the owner told me he is renovating and the entire front wall. It will be ripped down and replaced with glass. I will be getting much more than a single window view. In two months, using the prayers and manifestng tools I’ve learned, everything on my vision board came true but better!! Oh my, a million thank yous! Angeline Here is the photo of a “future board” I made for myself 2 months ago. I also use the ‘I’m in my future technique’ from your book.   Go to the Interviews page to see and hear Ken talking about Manifesting 123.

Pure Power: Your Thoughts + Gratitude

From Ken: It was about 20 years ago when I first started to intentionally manifest things. I was sending objects in thought to a very gifted woman, Judy Goodman. Judy would see these simple and complicated objects appear in her home 2,100 miles away. It always amazed me that she not only could use her giftedness to see what I had sent, but that she got it EVERY time. I also sent something in thought to Patti Conklin, another very gifted person and dear friend. The results were the same: Patti got what I was sending as well. In each case, they would see the objects on the ‘other side,’ not in the physical world. Your thoughts build from a vapor to a solid on the other side and my friends could see the process. Further, Judy could see my ‘wish list’ arrayed on the other side in various stages of formation. Your thoughts begin to create instantly. It is a natural Law just like gravity. Your thoughts build what you are thinking and gravity pulls everything to the ground. Your thoughts build anything and they are constantlly doing so. This is not the wishing, waiting and hoping game. Thought is a natural law that builds what you think and it will happen every time. There is also prayer. A thought, yes and also something different that is far beyond my speculation here. To send these objects to Judy using my thought, I concentrated very hard on the object I wanted to send. I was terrible at concentrating this way, but I got the positive result every time. Without any special skills, talents, or techniques I sent the object I imagined much like a kid would do. I was successful, but it was difficult to concentrate that way to get a result. Months earlier, Judy told me how to use thought much more efficiently but I had forgotten the method. Turns out, it was incredibly easy. Combine what you are manifesting with gratefulness. It’s all detailed in the book and quickly explained in the free radio interviews (info below) … too much to cover here. The point I want to pass on today is the how powerful gratefulness is when you are manifesting Instead of concentrating hard on mainfesting your new career, do this instead. Visualize your perfect career in your future, your ‘Movie.” Yes, your thoughts can form a future result, so go there to create. Next, instead of trying to force the idea into existence with sheer will, just imagine your perfect future scene and then say, “I’m so grateful.” This acknowledgment of thankfulness is very powerful and more efficient than my earlier attempts with intense concentration. With each desire or ‘scene’ in your ‘Movie,’ express your gratefulness at the happy result you are envisioning in your future. Grateful to who? May I offer, be grateful to the God of your understanding. It is the Whoever or Whatever designed the system that embowers your thoughts. Manifesting is not for just getting things, it is an opportunity to be thankful for what you have and grateful that which makes it possible. It seems that we are boundless creators accessing a system of infinite potential. Perhaps it just evolved or the system was produced by an Architect of great vision. So view the successful result in your future and feel the happiness for each outcome you imagine there. Then be grateful to the God of your understanding. Give credit to where the credit is due. Gratitude is the positive force that exponentially charges the thought you use for manifesting. When  you express gratitude for your future thoughts, you are in turn gifted more creative power. Who thought that up? Nice design! Think it and add gratitude. It’s a piece of cake. You are empowered to create anything. It is your birthright. You don’t have to think to breathe – you just know. You thoughts build things – they just do. Your thoughts have been creating things all your life. Now you know how your thoughts can create anything. Keep creating and be smart – build your lovely future and don’t use gratefulness to just make things. Be grateful for what your are allowed to imagine and create. You are using love / gratefulness to build anything. Imagine that! Ken PS.  Your fears build too, but there is an elegant solution. It’s the #2 of Manifesting 1, 2, 3.

How to Deal with Fear and About the Idea of Surrender

The #2 of Manifesting 1, 2, 3 and you don’t need #3 is about fear and it’s something we all have to face. Consider this newsletter a quick and Very Important tutorial on dealing with fear. Fear has been addressed here before and the links below point to previous articles with the simple tools for dealing with those worries and fears. After those links, something new is offered: supportive ideas and information from an unusual and loving source. This book is all about how your thoughts create whatever you are repetitively thinking and describes how it takes place. We all possess this ability, to create with our thoughts – we were born with it.  Here’s a bonus: if you add one of the great powers in the universe to your thought, Love or Fear, it will create the thought more efficiently. That goes for the pleasant thoughts we work to manifest and the negative ones we obsessively worry about. Your thoughts will make so-called good or bad things without judgment. That’s why is it so important to get all the information you need for understanding and directing your thoughts toward the outcomes you desire. Become an expert in handing worry and fear with these articles: Love, Fear, and Manifesting Dealing with Worry Important: Dealing With Worries / Making Them Work For You With the information in those articles you now understand what your thoughts can do. Now you have the tools you need to “act on those worries” to your benefit. Great, and then you put it into practice every day. You have done all you can do, so then what happens? In a conversation with Nancy Rynes sometime back, she relayed a profound message from the female spirit Nancy met on the ‘other side.’ Nancy was involved in a serious accident and was clinically dead for what was apparently a few minutes. What resulted was a near-death experience where Nancy was on the ‘other side’ for the equivalent of 2-3 months. While there, she was taught by a silvery, female spirit  of great wisdom and her experiences resulted in a wonderful book,  Awakenings from the Light. When Nancy and I were talking, she expressed her concerns about finances and I admitted the same. We both have a good, working knowledge of manifesting and we also write and teach it. So why isn’t it constantly producing everything we think of on demand? We both had some pretty big concerns going. OK, we worried at times and stopping the worry cycle is difficult. What else could we do? Nancy got the answer when she encountered the female spirit again in a dream. Nancy told me the spirit said this about her worries, “Surrender. We’ve got this.” I immediately understood that this was significant, so I grabbed a pen and wrote it on a sticky note. Could I just surrender? Not really, and it trips up almost everyone I know, but to those of us manifesting every day, consider this. You understand how your thoughts are creating what you think. In your manifesting and your prayers, you are creating only the positives. Gratitude is something you have learned to use daily to your advantage. You manage your worries by converting them to action items. That being done, what else is there to do? I would offer this: Go back to work. Then do something enjoyable. Rest. Manifest and Pray. Repeat. You have done all you can do at this point. You have touched everything you have the power to change and now where do you find yourself? Waiting. It just may be that you are in what I would call Divine Timing.  At this point we just have to step through each day and continue with our good routines. We are manifesting a good outcome but the WHEN is beyond OUR CONTROL. Besides worry, and that’s the worst thing to do, what other options are there? “Surrender. We’ve got this.” You are now in the best place you can be with a team of Divine players looking out for your best interests. They clearly know what you seek and it is being efficiently worked on. It’s just that the timing is beyond our knowing and control. This thinking can be called faith or trust.  It works for some but it is a wobbly stool for many of us to sit with. I like the idea that we do our reasonable part each day and await the results of what we manifest, and many do in a timely way. For those items that still haven’t appeared, just leave it to your very capable team. I like those confident words, “We’ve got this.” Later, it’s OK to turn off the lights and get a good nights sleep. Ken P.S.

Manifesting Big During the Workshop! Part 2

Last week Neanne wrote about her most unusual rental home sale. First off, she got the sale only to have the interested buyer back out. Then, for reasons unknown, the same buyer came back a few hours with a better offer, over the listing price! All this happened while Neanne was attending a Manifesting 1,2,3 workshop! Here’s the first story: Manifesting Big During the Workshop, part 1 Neanne and her husband owned a second rental property and their plan was to sell it as well. With those sales they could pay down what they currently owe on their primary home and simplify their lives. As Neanne wrote in the first story, her first rental home sold in a miraculous way. Neanne knows that manifesting works so she began manifesting the sale of rental home #2. Here’s what happened. Neanne writes: Here’s where I am with the remaining rental home for sale. I am well-read regarding manifesting and I have been practicing it for years.  However, when I read Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3, I discovered how simple the process really is. It gave me clarity. I learned how our thoughts actually make it happen and that was the game changer! Manifesting worked brilliantly for the rental home #1 so I put it right to work on rental home #2. My intention was to get the best possible price quickly and efficiently. Common wisdom says it wouldn’t be easy but my manifesting gives me an uncommon advantage. Rental home #2 is not in the greatest location. I have co-workers with homes on the market nearby and they are not selling. The overall market in the city is good, but not in this neighborhood.  We had listed the house before but unfortunately, we had to pull the listing for lack of interest. While getting the house ready to sell, I was manifesting a good outcome. Once house #2 was prepped it was time to list it online. So ready, set, go, we posted our listing. ONE HOUR later we sold the house for $15,000 over our listed price!! It was the fastest sale my agent had ever had! Was it a coincidence? I don’t think so because others listing nearby clearly didn’t have results like ours. Plus, it was really nice to get that sale on my birthday. Now I am working to manifest more good things. There’s no stopping now! Neanne   There are over 200 stories on the Manifesting 123 website. Other readers are writing in with their very encouraging success stories, all searchable by keywords. Get the book, learn what they are doing, then get going! Once you know how manifesting actually works, it’s not likely you will let it go!

Manifesting Big During the Workshop! Part 1

In this story I have just wrapped up a Manifesting 1,2, 3 Workhsop in Denver. During the class, one of the attendees, Neann, said that her intention was to sell a rental home they had listed, but it wasn’t going well…. Ken Neann writes: Manifesting is not a new subject for me, I have been familiar with it for years. It is a well-written topic and there are a lot of different approaches to achieve results. There are so many strategies they seem to be stepping on each other at times, or at least in my mind. When I read about Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3, I was struck by the simplicity of it so, I signed up for Ken’s workshop. I had a primary goal in mind. My husband and I owned three rental properties and we felt like it was time for us to sell them at a good price and simplify our lives a bit more. Just like the book title, we have houses 1, 2, and 3. House #1 is not in a great location. After last renter, we had to do a lot maintenance work do get it ready To sell. Regardless, our real estate agent was not optimistic, thinking that the house would take a while to sell and that it would not bring a great price. So that was what was on my mind when I when into the workshop that morning. Just before the workshop started, my husband called me and said we had a buyer, great news! I stayed in touch with my husband with a text messages during the class. Well, this is going wonderfully. I’m in a manifesting class and I’ve sold the house. I’m loving this! Shortly after, my husband texted me and said that the buyer backed out. Ug. Now we were at the point in the class where we clarify our desires. That was easy, I’m going to manifest the sale of this house and is going to get a very good price on our terms. I went to work on that idea in the clean and efficient way Manifesting 1,2,3 lays out. Once the workshop finished, I got a call from my husband. It was the most unbelievable thing. The very same person that decided NOT to buy the house called back again and said yes to the purchase and offered $12,000 more than our asking price. What was that about? We did negotiate the price up, the buyer did it on his own. Of course we said yes! I hung up the phone and told all of the workshop people the good news. (I was stunned, but I should know better! Ken) Manifesting 1,2,3 works! Neann There are over 200 stories on the Manifesting 123 website. Other readers are writing in with their very encouraging success stories, all searchable by keywords.

Manifesting Tour: Eye Out for the Pink Elephants!

You have to love it when something gets ‘proofed out.’ Here’s a stunning example what your thoughts do. I’ve expanded this newsletter with more information / links from past newsletters to bring it all together for you. Get ready! Ken From Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3, page 109: “What’s the best method for envisioning a Movie? To prepare for my Movie, I choose a time when I’m sitting up. The chances are far greater that I’m alert and awake. I find when I’m doing the Movie laying down I will often go to sleep because we are trained to do that. I prefer to recline, but only do so if I’m not tired.” “Either way, I’m just as normal as anyone else. My mind wanders and pink elephants appear in my thoughts. I’m not at all concerned if my thinking veers off to another subject during my Movie.” “I don’t sit down every day and repeat a vision of pink elephants. Without the repetition and intention, I won’t have any elephants in my future.” The idea of the pink elephants is a device I have retold numerous times and it is a good visual. Just this week I was in a conversation with someone from out of town, Grace, and the subject of manifesting came up. Turns out, she is very familiar with the idea and practices manifesting daily. Grace told me she is very clear on the concept because she has been able to travel to the other side on many occasions while fully conscious. It’s called out-of-body or astral travel. One of the best authorities on the sublet is the author William Buhlman. We are close friends and during one of our conversations, he told me that when he was “over there,” he could watch his thoughts take form. It was a profound conversation that started me on the journey to write this book and pass this knowledge onto you. So back to Grace, I asked her about some of her experiences when she was out of body. One of the first experiences she mentioned was a time when she was in an empty room. For whatever the reason, and lacking any other stimulation, she had the thought of a pink elephant. It is one of those arc typical images like counting sheep, no big deal. Well, when you are in a non-physical realm as Grace was in, your thoughts take form very quickly. In a wink, Grace was suddenly looking at a pretty large pink elephant! It had instantly appeared because she had casually thought of one. And here it goes… as we like to say, “Don’t think about the pink elephant,” right? Good luck with that. Grace couldn’t stop thinking about the pink elephant and guess what? More elephants were instantly taking form. Elephants are BIG and they were beginning to take up all the space in the room!! Grace was forced to change her thinking and do it fast! She began thinking of a different locale and instantly, she was in another place. She focused only on what she was seeing and escaped the cascading elephants. Seconds later, she was back in her physical body, safe in her bed, laughing. In fact she laughed about that experience for the rest of the day. She was almost trampled by her thoughts. Whew! In the physical world, our thoughts create form and concepts without judgment. Thoughts take longer to manifest in our physical space but nonetheless, they create cars and happiness, lack and fearful outcomes, time to relax or chaos.
