My Gratitude Journal Manifested the Perfect SUV!

I’ve been driving my 2001 Tahoe since I bought it at the end of 2001. It is a great family car but after so many years of use I was starting to lose confidence in it. Once it broke down at a major intersection, a very big problem! We got it running again, but I was very leery of driving it on any of the long trips I often have to take. I keep a grateful journal, a very pleasurable exercise and it is part of my manifesting practice. After my Tahoe had broken down, I started writing in my grateful journal every day that I was VERY thankful for my next vehicle, a smaller luxury SUV. I didn’t visualize the color or brand—but I was thinking along the lines of a Lexus, Acura, Cadillac, or Lincoln. MAIN thing I wanted it loaded with everything and to include a heated steering wheel. It’s cold in the winter here! Writing in my journal, I also specified that this new SUV would not be a financial burden. Further, I was grateful that my Tahoe would work well for me until the perfect SUV came my way, covering my bases for now. Nine months later, at the exact intersection where my Tahoe broke down before, I broke down again! I put my foot down and said out loud that my car is out there waiting for me. My husband was, let’s just say, a wee bit ticked and refused to look at first. But even my kids got on him about upgrading to a newer model. We began to look and found something right away. It was a used Lincoln MKX, 2 1/2 years old (the big depreciation was already out if way) with less than 15,000 miles. Loaded with accessories including that heated steering wheel and still had the full factory warranty. It was just like new!! We did have to take out a loan, but the interest rate was VERY low. I believe less than 2%, so the payments aren’t a financial burden. Of course my kids got a vehicle out of it too—the Tahoe. It is perfect for them because they only drive around here and don’t travel long distances. My ‘little’ gratitude journal and singular focus manifested the perfect result – again. I am grateful, grateful, grateful! R.   Photo credit: Autoblog

As I Manifested It, Love Appeared and I Was Surrounded

I really like the simplicity of your ‘movie’ method for manifestation and I’ve been encouraged by the success stories you share in your book and newsletter. I thought I should contribute one of my early success stories in case others find it helpful. My first marriage came to an end after about 23 years. A short time later, I was in a good relationship with a lovely woman and we were very compatible in many ways. However I eventually felt that I was headed in a different direction and we didn’t seem to feel as ‘close’ as we should be. The feeling was mutual and sadly, that relationship ended. Around this time I was working as a security officer in the gatehouse of a large processing plant.  This entailed sitting behind a window for long periods of time without much to do.  This gave me the opportunity to think about life and to read books.  I read quite a few ‘self improvement’ and ‘spiritual’ books. A few of the books propounded the idea of using affirmations to help make changes in our lives. This all happened before I’d come across ‘Manifesting 123…’, but I think I was operating in a fairly similar way to that described in your book. One day in the security office I was thinking about my present situation. I decided to create an affirmation that reflected how I’d like my life to be. I was currently working mostly with men and I didn’t really have any female friends. Many years before I had gone to an all-boys school and I felt I needed a better balance, so I declared “I have intimate relations with beautiful women.” To some, that affirmation might sound a bit, well, ‘naughty’. I guess I could have tweaked that affirmation for this newsletter so as not to give the wrong impression, but I wouldn’t feel honest in doing that. By stating “intimate relations with beautiful women,” I didn’t mean that I wanted to sleep around.  It meant that I wanted to spend more time in close and meaningful relationships with women whose company I enjoyed. I made that affirmation maybe once or a few times and I felt really good. It took me to a place where I really felt that I could enjoy some good results.  Of course things could work out for me. Just a few minutes later, aa attractive young woman came to the security office to ask a question. It was fairly evident that she wasn’t ‘the one.’ but it was nice to get confirmation that there were lovely females around who could interact with me.  I took it as a sign. In about two weeks, I was invited to go to a cafe where a number of people I was loosely connected with started to have a regular get-together. One member of this group was a woman whom I had met before. Her husband had passed away about two years prior. We seemed nicely compatible and I enjoyed her company. I didn’t know her current circumstances and didn’t give it much thought while we all mingled at the cafe. When it was time to go home, I walked fairly quickly toward my car. Suddenly I realized this woman had overtaken me.  She turned in front of me, looked me squarely in the face and told me how good it had been talking to me. Well it was pretty good talking to her too, especially at that moment. Her gorgeous blue eyes and smile were very appealing to me. If there is such a thing as love at first sight, then perhaps that is the moment it happened to me. We married within a few months, and it has been wonderful. In case you are wondering about the ‘women’ (plural) aspect of my affirmation, it is interesting to note that my wife has four adult daughters and two sweet granddaughters. In addition, I have developed a closer relationship with my own married daughter and her cute daughter as well. I’m also pleased to say that I’m corresponding more regularly with my adventurous second daughter and it is always good to hear what she has been up to. More recently my son seems to have found himself a nice girlfriend. In a very short time I have many charming and beautiful girls and women it my life, apleasant change! I should also mention that there are also three grandsons between us, so life is rich. I am now involved in a new job where I interact with all sorts of interesting people. There are still challenges but I’m thinking that if it weren’t for the difficulties, the good times wouldn’t seem to be as sweet. Thanks to your book, I now understand how my thoughts are creating what I imagine. It is a real tool, a gift that I continually use with confidence. Best wishes, Stephen   Have a manifesting story to share? Please email it in and if it is used for this newsletter I’ll send you a free, signed copy of the book as a thank you!

Manifesting Love: My Perfect Partner, Then the Miracle Happens

A year and a half ago my wife and I split up. It was a very tough breakup and as the process went forward we became unhappier. Our conversations were difficult and once a divorce lawyer was brought in, things became more adversarial, adding more strain, fatigue and anger. I had been effectively using manifesting tools for years and during this time I continued to do so except in the area of relationships. With this ongoing divorce, I was so far out of balance emotionally I couldn’t even dream of a happy, new connection, and until the divorce was settled, I was ineligible anyway. About three months ago, I became accustomed to being up in the air about the pending divorce and started to get some balance in my life. It was then that I began to finally consider a future with another person in my life, so I began to visualize a joyful future with my perfect companion. I didn’t see what this person looked like, only that we were happy together, really loved each other, had wonderful chemistry and that we were a supportive, solid team. So in the meantime I kept busy. Two young daughters will make that happen. My days were full but I stayed with my manifesting as always have but with idea of my new partner added to the process. A few weeks ago I got a call from my estranged wife. It was a real surprise, particularly when she invited me to meet at her home. She didn’t say why and my apprehension started to build. It was close to impossible that anything good would come from this. We were both pretty invested in not wanting to have anything to do with each other. We met and had a polite conversation. It followed that we talked about our ‘single’ lives and the more we were together, the more we relaxed. We found that we became very attracted to each other. We were more considerate and forgiving than ever before. In a very short time, we simply fell in love all over again. Now we are back together in our home as a family where everything has a purpose that supports and nourishes us. We are far more appreciative of each other and happy to be together with our children again. They feel the same way. As it turns out, I am with my ideal partner, a person I have more in common with than anyone else, a woman I love and respect as she does me. She is all that I had manifested and more. How very interesting that for the two of us, our wonderful partner was close by all the time, but we were not in a place to fully appreciate and treasure each other. As I had learned, I was wise and didn’t visualize what my ideal partner would look like, in any way limiting the possibilities. The result was that my perfect partner appeared, my loving match in so many ways. It just took some growth, each in our own way and apart from each other. There was a lot of pain and acrimony, now in the past, and now we are stronger, more loving and considerate than ever. Manifesting and prayers work, sometimes in what would seem to be impossible ways! J. Have a manifesting story to share?

Manifesting Financial Success and a Big Break

I have a business out of my home and financially, things were pretty slow last fall. I didn’t panic, well just a little bit, but I kept at it with the manifesting I learned in the book. The worry was a constant for me and I did my best to tamp it down, but something more had to be done. I’m convinced that I have created an abundance of things (some were included in this newsletter) and since the book clearly states that our thoughts can create positive or negative results, I had to make some changes. So beginning last fall, I improved my product line in small, affordable ways and put more time into promoting the business. Then interesting things happened. New sales came in quickly but it had nothing to do with the recent promotions. The number of sales increased as well and really good promotional opportunities fell out of the sky. Soon more people would see my product line with little extra effort or expense on my part. In one months time I was somehow getting more sales than before and I was delighted to see that happen! When 2016 began I could see the results of the product upgrades and the promotions I put in place. Here it is 9 months later in 2016 and I’m on track to have my best business year ever. Sales have been consistent and clients are buying more expensive items. Older inventory has been moving too. It is a dream come true and I am able to get ahead of my bills, meaning that all my personal and business expenses are completely covered through November. Just as I manifested, I no longer have that month-to-month worry about the bills. It is great having that cushion and it allowed me some small luxuries. I was back in the great mindset of not worrying about money. Then came a test. A very large tree on my property died and had to be cut down, a very expensive problem. I didn’t take action on it for months but when my income went up I decided to take care of it. I called three services and two got back to me with an estimate of $1800. That was a LOT more than I expected but I was stuck with it. A tree that size, and one that threatens the roof of my home, was going to take a big chunk out of my happy new surplus. My home is part of an association and someone from the Homes Association had just marked the tree for removal. I called the office and they informed me that the tree was my problem and per the Association rules, needed to be resolved quickly. I waited a week a selecting a landscape service to take the tree out and another week passed before hearing back from the landscaper. It was amazing news. Despite what the Association office told me, the Association would take the tree down at no expense to me! As Manifesting 123 says, it was the equivalent of getting $1800! It was also very interesting to hear the good news from the owner of the landscaping company I had contracted to do the removal. The Homes Association, not me, is paying the same company to do the job. Either way, that landscaper was going to get that tree removal contract. If I had not selected that particular landscaper, I would have hired another company they would have the tree down by now at my expense. I’m just amazed at how manifesting works and so efficiently sometimes. Call me a happy customer! Mike Have a manifesting story to share?

What Is Possible? Question From a Reader

Dear Mr. Elliott, I read your book and love it so much! Thank you for this masterpiece. When I think about this thought power stuff, would you say, for example, being a famous actor/singer or entrepreneur that makes millions in a year is just as easily possible as being poor and homeless? Would being single be just as possible as dating 5 women / men at the same time, if one wants to, of course? This question may sound naive or even silly from a worldly point of view, but I think your answer to this with your background would really help me to understand the science behind it even more. In our manifesting movies you can put in every possible scenario and it is always easy, right? Would be very nice If you could answer this. Thanks and best wishes from Austria! A. My reply: Thank you for writing. To answer your question, there may be two things to first consider: your destiny here and all that you can manifest. It may be that you are destined to be poor or rich, famous or unknown, in loving relationships or not. You may remain in that state or only experience it for a time. Regarding destiny, I subscribe to the idea that you have a life plan with major things you will do and experience, along with certain skills and aptitudes. You would also encounter a series of lessons in that plan and the opportunity to learn and carry out what you came here to do. Keep in mind that there are equivalents of rich and poor, etc. I could be that you might experience all of the things you mentioned without actually living them. In your life or career you may come into close contact with wealth or poverty and you gain considerable experience that way. Suppose you wanted to be an astronaut. You can certainly manifest that idea. It is very likely that instead of being the astronaut, you will come in close contact with the experience of being one. You may become friends with someone in the space program or find yourself immersed a newly released, 72-hour documentary about all things related to being an astronaut. It would be the equivalent of that physical experience. Supposing your destiny is not to be a career astronaut along with the years of training that takes, your life plan has you on the ground instead, within your soul’s design. It doesn’t preclude your ‘being’ an astronaut for a time though. I like the idea of manifesting at least two important things as a priority. I would offer perfect health and second, the idea of doing what we are here to do. Once those are covered, create a number of scenes in your movie… go big! Two things will surely happen. We will literally create the results we specify or we will encounter the equivalent of that idea. If being famous sounds interesting, then put it into your manifesting scenario. It may come to pass in some small or large way. You may experience celebrity by following it in the media or directly as a friend or associate. Perhaps you are not comfortable being on the stage, so to speak, but you prefer the proximity of fame. A nice possibility. Perhaps after seeing fame up close or giving it a try, you decide celebrity is not for you, thank you very much, and you no longer feel that desire. Here are questions back to you: With your current skills or accomplishments, how can you be made famous? How will you have that wonderful relationship you seek? As we are manifesting things and concepts, many discover they are becoming more suited to the outcomes they desire. People realize they are changing and growing. Perhaps they are less inclined to fame unless it beings meaning into their lives. For those manifesting relationships, many observe they are becoming more loving, open and patient. Also, some of their unattractive traits fall away – they become more desirable. Like attracts like and they are becoming a better match for the partner they desire. My wish for you is that you are healthy, you are fulfilled because you are doing your heart’s desire – what you are here to do, you are well-thought of and admired, you love and are loved (even as a single person), living comfortably, balanced and happy without financial concerns.  Should you find yourself in the place outlined above, you would possess much – great happiness, fulfillment and love. It may be that you are only famous to your many good friends and that your heart is full. There are numerous ways to attain the goals we seek, Something like fame may come with serious limits, but if you so wish, ask it to come wth an ease and a grace. Be good to yourself. Point yourself to Happiness! Ken Have a manifesting story to share?

Cooking Up a Quick Solution

This is a story from some years back. I had gone on a long trip that turned out to be way more expensive than I anticipated. I arrived home on a Sunday morning with only $1.35 to my name and an empty kitchen. I had cleaned it out before I left and it really looked bare on my return. I was expecting a payment for some recent work but in the meantime I had nothing to eat. I could have called my ex-boyfriend but didn’t want to re-involve myself with him or be indebted in any way. I could have also called one of several friends but my Leo pride wasn’t crazy about that. So I went to work on the problem. I laid down with the intention that the Universe could help me “cook up” something. Within a few minutes I remembered that I had been invited to a community potluck from an organic gardening group scheduled for that afternoon. I did not have an organic garden but had helped out on someone else’s and thus was put on the invite list. The only problem was that they asked you bring either a dish of food to share or give a donation of $8. I had neither, but for some reason I thought to check their Facebook page again. I saw that the organizer was asking if anyone could come an hour early to help set up the event. This of course would be in lieu of needing to bring food or money. I had just enough time to get there, so I was out the door quickly. On my arrival I helped set up tables, chairs and decoration, an easy and fun task. Shortly after the people started coming with massive amounts of food to share. There were about 6 tables filled with an amazing variety of healthy and delicious dishes. Not only did I eat till I was stuffed but there was so much food leftover that they insisted I take home a container with enough for 2 more meals! I felt really grateful and this totally renewed my faith that the Universe is abundant and generous. Karen This appears to be a simple story with a nice ending but at its core, an idea was engaged, an intention was created. This simple procedure creates miracles, your miracles. In this story, a solution was quickly found with her rested mind or perhaps the information she needed miraculously emerged. This is what our thoughts can do. In this book, for the first time, you will learn how your thoughts literally become form and how to simply put this profound discovery to work for you. This is another of Karen’s stories that have appeared in this newsletter and I happily thank you again for your encouraging words. Ken Have a manifesting story to share?

Making the Equivalent of Money Work for You!

OK, OK, this car photo is over the top and it is not the one mentioned in this story, but Catherine had a critical problem with the tires on her car. For some time now, those tires needed replacing. She was working the problem, asking for the money to take care of the problem and she was also manifesting that the problem would somehow be solved… a grateful outcome. The tires were in very fragile shape, limiting Catherine’s use of the car to small errands or must-do trips. One was frayed and balding, presenting an obvious hazard and the others needed to be replaced ASAP. Her good friend Missy heard about the upcoming Shifting Your Reality Conference where I was speaking last week and invited Catherine to attend as her gift. The plan was for Missy to fly in, rent a car and the two of them would ride together for the two-hour trip to the Conference at the Copper Mountain Resort in Colorado. For some strange reason, Missy’s rental car reservation had been bungled and a car was not available, stranding her at the airport. She called Catherine to recommend using her car for the trip and that’s when she learned about Catherine’s bad tires. “OK,” Missy thought, “If we can’t use Catherine’s car, we will just go this other car rental agency away from the airport.” So Missy just waited for Catherine to arrive when the ideal of purchasing all new tires for Catherine just popped in. Missy explains, “Catherine picked me up and explained everything about her current finances and the tires. I said I would buy her new tires and we drove to her tire place. They were able to install four new tires and the car was ready in about two hours. It was about the same out of pocket money for me as the rental car would have been. I feel so thankful and honored that I was used as a vessel for helping to manifest her needs. I know the manifestations of desires often come through normal channels in our lives. I am so grateful to be a part of those creations.” So what happened? Catherine definitely manifested the tires. As it turns out, Catherine successfully manifested the equivalent of money – exactly the amount to put new tires on her car. Without any extra-earned income on her part, Catherine’s thoughts created the exact solution elegantly. We had fun at the conference calling Catherine the Tire Master. I also got a kick out of asking Missy where the idea for buying the tires came from. It was amazing how it came from out of the blue. Missy was intent on working the rental car option, nothing more. Funny how a rental car was unavailable and then having the purchasing idea abruptly present itself! Catherine is well into what she will be creating next and we want to hear all about it. Nicely done, Catherine and Missy!

Can You Create What You Desire? Are You Worthy?

I have a lot of conversations with people on the subject of manifesting and there are some common themes. Surprisingly, a large number of people aren’t really sure of how they would like their lives to be. We get so busy we don’t leave time to really consider what we would like our future to be. We don’t make it a priority. Here’s an idea from the forward of the book: we are truly like that Genie. As we think of something, it immediately begins to form right in front of us.  This is all fully explained in the book, but consider it to be true.  Many of us have experienced this to be a fact. Your thoughts are creating what you’re thinking, so it is fundamental to have a script, a blueprint of what you want your life to be, where you prefer to go. Here is a guide for starters: health, safety, fulfillment, love, financial security… you get the idea. These are wonderful concepts and it is not necessary to specify how they must happen. All that’s left to do is to use the simple instructions in Manifesting 123 on a daily basis and magnify those thoughts with gratitude. But that’s not the way it is for all of us. We run into another very common roadblock: worthiness. Perhaps this example will help. Everyone is born with the ability to breathe. Breathing is a fundamental gift that maintains our lives. When we wake in the morning we don’t pray or beg for air. It is freely given to everyone without judgment. Regardless of our stature or standing in life, we are all allowed to breathe. Creating with thought is a natural law, also freely given. You would not deny yourself the ability to breathe, so take advantage of what you are allowed to create by simply thinking it. Don’t miss out on what is equally offered to everyone. I have over 15 years of experience sending things in thought to people gifted enough to see those thoughts start to take form in real time. This is a real and incredibly important tool. Please don’t deny this great gift you were born with. Point yourself to happiness. Use your thoughts to create your life of joy and fulfillment. Here’s some wisdom and encouragement from Mohammed Ali: “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” Start now!
