Manifesting123

A Tender Request, A Prayer, Then a Response

Sometimes what we think becomes reality very quickly. Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 describes how or thoughts directly create and do so constantly. Generally, that takes time but it is a delight to hear of an instance where a thought and in this instance, a prayer is answered in a profound way. Our thoughts and prayers and powerful tools, our gift. We are always worthy so never hesitate to ask in whatever way is comfortable to you… everyday if you like. Ken P. writes: My sister D and I were at the home of our elderly parents, helping them pack to leave their summer home.  It was a stressful time.  One afternoon D. and I rode our bikes to the beach. We were having a rough day of sorts, and we went to the beach for renewal, which is our thing…. A swim in the ocean is the perfect, refreshing, cleanser. We love our parents dearly, but our mother can be anxious and controlling and I struggle not to be reactive. This was especially evident to me this summer, as a bout with Covid had me under their roof for over a month (counting isolation in a makeshift bedroom on the garage!) which was longer than I had been planning to stay. Arriving at the beach, we put our towels down on the sand, and I said, “Let’s lay down and put our chests on the ground and pray to Pachamama, mother earth.”  We did and I said a prayer, asking for help and guidance. Then I added, from a workshop I had done years ago, “Please help me have a loving heart instead of an angry heart.” This is because I’d been having trouble all summer being impatient at times with mom, my ongoing area of struggle. Then I suggested to D. that we send love to Pachamama and ask for help.  That done, we laid in the sun relaxing awhile followed by swimming in the ocean and then biking back home. That night in a very unusual dream, I was aware of a group of beings around me doing a healing on my heart. I couldn’t see them but I could clearly feel what they were doing. My whole chest was vibrating, shaking and bouncing up and down like crazy. It was so extreme it was almost violent and I quickly woke up! Since then, I have felt more spacious, insightful and compassionate (and even a teeny bit more patient). It is a remarkably different feeling inside. I am so grateful. I think I was carrying around a lot of anger from my childhood and the fact that I asked for release and my prayer was answered so quickly was confirming and beautiful. It is a great comfort to know of that connection and that my prayers are heard. P.   Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.

I Manifested a Beautiful New Life! (reprise story)

Today I am so incredibly grateful. My day started with my getting ready for work, a normal task for most people but not for me. For years I was getting up at 3 or 4 am and going to a job I didn’t like. It was drudgery. The corporate culture there overworked and drained my co-workers and me. I was fried at work, so I had a long and deep conversation with myself. I decided to jump out there and be brave. A good bit of my courage came from finding the book Manifesting 123 in a Goodwill store some days before. I already knew some things about manifesting and this book got my attention. After reading it I started using some of the ideas in the book and imagined the future I wanted as if I was in my personal “movie.” In this future my current problems didn’t exist. I stated that, “All my needs are taken care of and I’m so grateful.” My future had some of these other nice features: My perfect partner. Things would flow easier in all aspects of my life. In my movie there were a number of future scenes but I didn’t put a lot of detail into most of them. I went with the suggestion in the book to sometimes allow for an outcome that would be better that I could ever imagine. I learned how to offset my fears and use the 7 Grateful Things. It’s interesting, because once I got the manifesting ball rolling, I had a new ease and flow with less worry. All this gave me the courage to make a move. It is not my nature, but I quit my job before I had another one. That’s a leap, but in a few days I had a good interview for a job I really wanted in a museum. While waiting to hear back, I wasn’t overly concerned. I clearly felt that if I didn’t get this job then there would be another one for me. I stayed on the manifesting every day, envisioning my future with a new twist. Focusing on the new job possibility, I imagined that I was working in the museum. This time I added the details of being in the uniform, talking to people and seeing the art on the walls there. In five days I got the position! It was so very easy! I now have the income I need and I have regular working hours. No more getting up in the wee hours of the morning!!! This may not be my perfect career in the long term, but it was a smart move and it was just what I was manifesting. This is exactly what I need right now and the regular hours allow me the time to have a LIFE! I even have the time for that perfect partner to appear. Things are really looking up! Manifesting 123 came into my life at just the right time. Thank you! M.C. It Started With a Crisis and Was Solved By Asking M.C. got into a low spot and needed help. It wasn’t mentioned in the story but she did pray and ask for a way out. It seems that she got a result when she found Manifesting 123 at the Goodwill story. She immediately used the techniques in the book to build exactly the future she desired. There was never a mention that she was undeserving or unworthy. Her plan was exactly stated and she gave it a little time every day. Here’s another quote from M.C. “I’m so very grateful for a couple of things, my wonderful, new job and I’m grateful to myself for having the strength to leave the job I didn’t like.” It all starts with the asking, Ken PS: Glad someone recycled that book!   Want more?

I Kept Saying, “I Am So Lonely,” and it Worked (with 4 story bonus!)

Grace writes: I’ve been single for a long time, 30 years now. I am attractive, active and interesting but have been single for all these years. In the last twenty years I got into this habit: Every day and many times a day I would make the observation that I was lonely. Morning, afternoon and night I would say those words and feel the misery of it. I was really good at this! My life felt restricted and there was a damper on everything. When there was joy or happiness, I didn’t feel it in full. I was lonely. I have been incredibly fortunate, having survived some very serious accidents with miraculous recoveries but regardless, it just felt wrong to be alone. A few months ago I fell in love with a good man. All went well until it didn’t – we all know how the story goes. The unusual thing was while I was in a good part of the relationship I suddenly experienced a piercing pain down my entire spine, resulting in a trip to the emergency room. The pain was very severe and the docs couldn’t come up with a reason saying, “I’ve never seen anything like this.” My pain subsided, thank goodness, but shorly after the relationship fell apart. Now I was left with a great emotional pain. I needed my life back and to somehow move on. I really wanted to take something good from this experience. I desired a richer life and without being lonely. It was at this point I prayed on my knees with the big tears – it was so very painful. Suprizingly, in just a weeks time I met met four perceptive and adept alternative healers. Each one had something to reduce the pain and they opened up a conversation about my relationship. Between them, my back pain was gone! It was just what I needed. Also, the level of emotional pain was now bearable and for the first time in decades, I felt whole and balanced. It was like day and night and more that I could have ever hoped or prayed for! This gave me breathing room and the hope that my life was moving forward. Perhaps my prayers were being answered. My relationship eventually ended but I was in a better place and I was now considering that I could really be happy with or without a relationship. Of course a wonderful relationship if my preference but I was no longer Needy for one. Then three weeks later something amazing happened. One morning I woke up with the instant realization that for the first time in decades I was no longer lonely! It was just there – no lonliness in my being. The diference is incredible and a big weight has been lifted from me. I have a new life and I am feel lighter, happier, and balanced. I no longer feel needy and I am free of the loneliness that plagued me for so long. I am wiser and happier. Sure, the loneliness comes up occasionally, but I can easily put it aside and forget about it. My thoughts are concerned with the good in my life, my work and the people I help. I have learned what my thoughts can create thanks to Manifesting 123 and it gave me a clear explanation of the events in my past and how to create the life I wish. When I told Ken this story and how I repeated the “I am lonely” thousands of times he asked, “So how did that work out?” We had a big laugh and high-fived when I told him I was expert at manifesting loneliness in a big way. Not anymore! My thoughts and energies will be spent on much more interesting and positive things now. Oh, one more thing…. I recently decided to sign up for a dating service. In the last 9 weeks I have received almost 900 inquiries from interested men. I am so grateful to be in this new place!! Grace Thank you, Grace for your heartfelt story. Your repeated statement of loneliness created that state, no doubt and you maintained it for twenty years. Once you were in that relationship, there was joy and it was also very instructive. Long story short, you came into it with need and afterwards you were free from that. Your prayers were answered and you began imagining your better life without need or feeling alone and you reached a beautiful balance. Throughout all of this, your wishes and intentions were in play. When those intentions were mixed with positive or negative emotions, your thoughts began to create results more powerfully and efficiently. In the end, it appears that your prayers and thoughts brought you through the door to a brighter future…. and 900 requests to meet you! Ken Grace is not the only one to wake up free of tnegative burdens. Here are 4 stories from readers that used the information in Manifesting 123 and experienced similar miracles.

The Solution I Needed Came to Me Fast!

I have been doing lectures for many years now and in early May, I decided to add some recorded talks to my offerings. In the past, I have done a number of them on my own and learned that it is not a simple enterprise, particularly when you want a very high-quality result. While I have the ability to master sound recordings, I don’t enjoy this part of the process and am not the best at it. But I am good at asking and manifesting! I thought to myself and to the universe that it would be great to have someone to help me with this. That was just about it, a clear and clean intention. With a professional sound master, I could better focus on the creation of my new lectures and make them better than ever before. Within 24 hours, I received an email from someone who was asking questions about my one-on-one coaching sessions. The coaching sessions wouldn’t work out in her case, but during our conversation I found out that this woman had a career as a sound engineer! Even more exciting was that she had been the fulltime sound engineer for a very famous author in the spiritual community. This is great, I thought, she must have incredible contacts and she might be able to recommend a really good sound engineer to me. As it turned out, her free time was opening up because her fulltime job was moving to part time and said she would work with me! She gave me a great deal for editing and mastering my own recordings and as a bonus, she spent several hours helping me pick out the right recording equipment and getting my hardware set up. It was like a dream come true and it solved a very big, professional problem for me. But it wasn’t a dream. I did ask, and the solution came to me in 24 hours! Kay   Want more?

Manifesting: What is my purpose?

Recently, a number of people asked me the question, “I want to know my purpose in life. How can I find out?”  Often in conversations I’ll ask people to speculate that if all of their financial needs were abundantly covered, what would they do next? Travel comes up and I reply, “So you have taken a number of international trips this year and you are done with travel, so what next?” A better home comes up and I come back with that you have more than enough house now, and so on down the list. Typically, the last thing they choose after every conceivable wish has come true is that they want to be of service to others. In virtually every case, that person is a kind, generous and helpful soul doing small, unheralded things for people. They are charitable on a scale that is affordable to them, helpful and a source of good advice. Their service, although it may not be easily seen, touches people from time to time. How do we know our purpose in life? I recommend that we pray for it and to also manifest a solution, using our abilities to create future outcomes. If your goal is to be of service, then we can envision ourselves in the future, inside in our own personal movie. In this movie of ours, we can see how we are helping or serving others in some way. If we prefer teaching, etc, then imagine that you are in a future movie of you in that role. As it is explained in the book, this movie, your thoughts, will begin to create that scenario. Another way create your purpose in a more unlimited way would be to imagine yourself in your future, sitting comfortably in your chair at the end of the day. Take a breath of the air in that future. Hear the sounds outside in your future. It’s all imaginary, but continue on and take stock of the day or your recent weeks or months. In your comfortable place you become aware, and without detail, of the many times you were thanked or commended for your helpfulness. Emotionally, you feel a real sense of fulfillment and contentment. That visualization, when repeated each day and combined with that loving emotion, is a powerful creative force! Going back to the original question, “I want to know my purpose in life,” can often be answered very easily. First, listen to what people say to you. They will tell you how you have been helpful and sometimes they have been brought to tears. Often, it’s a small gesture on your part but it was important to them. You may be thanked for something you did years ago, for being there at the right time or just being the good example. They will tell you who you are, what you do. Did you start a foundation or charity? Develop a business that supports a large number of employees? No, it was something done for just that one person or a small group. Someone was helped and often a “wave” goes out. A person was helped, they gained their balance and in turn, may be in a better position to help another. It may be that the most of us are already doing “what we are here to do” and it looks like this: One person helping another and then another, one on one, one on one and one on one. Is that you? Then be kind to yourself. Your “one on one” is more than it seems and you are doing well with your life. You no longer have to wait for some personal abundance before helping others, you are already doing just that. It may seem insignificant, but not to those you shared your heart and time with.

Take a Manifesting Ride on Lisa’s Blue Bike

In this story there are some important ideas that stand out: Visualization Repetitiveness Open to the idea Prayer / asking the universe Overcoming unworthiness It’s a ‘small’ story about a bike but it is filled with wisdom and good examples for us. Thank you Lisa! Ken  Lisa writes: Many years ago I purchased a red Diamondback Mountain bike, one that was highly recommended to me at the bike shop. The cost about was about $600 but I wasn’t perfectly happy with it since it wasn’t the color I liked and the pedals were’t quite right for me. Years later, I decided to sell it and bought a $10 bike from a thrift store. It was a hybrid, teal blue cruiser bike with a comfy seat and I loved it. The bike was so comfortable and beautiful. Unfortunately, I neglected to lock it up for the 5 minutes I was in a store and it was stolen. I was heartbroken and it left me with reservations about having something nice and beautiful because of that loss. It took a year, but I finally overcame those feelings and began the idea of manifesting exactly the bike that I wanted. It would be a blue hybrid bike with a with a basket in the front and a rack on the back. The blue color was about the ocean. This next bike would be something like my former bike, but it was going to be better and more comfortable. I would also be able to decorate it in the way I wanted. The cost would be $200, an amount I had available to spend. I repeatedly visualized this and I was also open to the idea of the universe providing that bike or something better for the $200. I began to search on the Facebook marketplace and within days after putting out my intention, the bike showed up for $200. It was beautiful with blue, airbrushed images of water and the bike was was brand-new! The seller told me she had only ridden it twice! As I had visualized, it had a basket in the front and with a rack in the back. It was mine and I happy took it home and added some customizing of my own. I had happily thought it up, prayed for it, visualized it and then the perfect bike appeared. It my doing as well as a gift from the universe. That went well, so next I began to manifest a trailer for the bike, one that would be just right. The trailer would allow me to use the bike and haul my groceries, etc. back home. I did the same thing, repetitively visualizing that ideal trailer and at a price that would be easy for me to accept. I also allowed the universe to bring it to me, not getting in the way of that gift. In my searches, a trailer – the just right one, came up quickly and on sale for $80. I was all set! It all came together like magic but I know better and I’m very grateful! LIsa   Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.

There is More NOW Than We Might Think

In these newsletters the idea that your thoughts create form is oft-mentioned subject. It is true and many of us have successfully experienced that idea in a number of different ways. In the second chapter of Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3, I described how I sent an object in thought to the remarkably gifted Judy Goodman. We were on the phone, separated by 2000 miles and she described how my thoughts were creating an object not previously known to her in real-time. She then described how it was taking form, within two minutes in the near-physical realm. In the NOW. With her extraordinary giftedness, she could see this object as other gifted people would see deceased relatives. My thought began to be seen by Judy as a ghostly wisp of vapor and then congealing into a recognizable form. I sent her a Daffy Duck and she watched it materialize. Knowing that your thoughts actually create objects and concepts (less stress, happiness, etc.) is one of the most important things you could possibly know and put to use. Most incredibly, your thoughts can create the future. Here’s a previous newsletter on that topic:  You Can Fix Your Future From Here  And now, something more… When manifesting, a typical phrase might be, “I’m in my future, and in my future…..  and you would insert the specific item you wish to manifest. That would be followed by a list of other things you want to bring into your life such as health, financial security, and more. Some of the items in this list may already be in place for you, in the NOW. As an example, you may wish to ensure that you will always live comfortably and in a good home. You might manifest something like, “I’m in my future and in my future, I am living very comfortably in my wonderful home and I am so grateful.” For this, you are already quite happy in your very nice home. The idea is that you are specifying that in your future, you want your thoughts to continuing creating that standard or make it even better…all specified for your future. That’s good so far. Let’s use your thoughts in a more an exacting and powerful way. Recall that when I was sending an object to Judy Goodman, my thoughts started working in the non-physical realm first, and in that realm there is no time as we experience it. As it is known to the thousands that have experienced out-of-body travel, everything there is NOW and thoughts create instantly. In our physical world, thought happens much slower – that’s just the way it is. If I had continued manifesting and sending Judy that object, it would eventually appear in the physical world as the object itself, a song lyric or hundreds of other ways, but the manifesting result would be discernible. Keep in mind that thoughts are always creating regardless, and that word NOW is very powerful in the non-physical space and to some degree, simultaneously in our physical world. So let’s use every advantage and adjust our manifesting phrase to say something like, “NOW, and in my future, I am living very comfortably in my wonderful home and I am so grateful.” You have just instructed your thoughts to maintain the comfortable idea you currently have NOW and you have specified the continuation of that status with the possibility of even more comfort in your future. There are other items/wishes in your manifesting list that have not yet occurred and that is why they are listed, but watch for those items that are happily in your present and add the NOW.  Here’s another example: “I’m in my future and in my future, I am free from stress, and I’m so grateful.” Your history may be one of stress – that’s why you continue to list it, but presently you are just fine. You don’t want those feelings to return, so include and declare that NOW, all is well and going forward, it is not a concern. This is a shade of difference as a phase but much more powerful as thoughts. It sounds like this: “NOW and in my future, I am free from stress, and I’m so grateful.” Thoughts are active things – words in movements, pure creation. Look over your manifesting list and where applicable, insert and reassert your NOW! Ken   Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.

I Manifested a Plan and Found the Solution Immediately!

Amazing how the solution was there for the asking… Ken I have been a contractor for many years now and I’ve seen plenty of ups and downs. I work on my own most of the time doing landscaping jobs for individual clients. Many of those years have been a struggle and I was always looking for the key to an easier way of living and a more successful, financial outcome. I have been doing the practical things to improve my business such as community networking, advertising and other methods, and as helpful as that is, it’s still wasn’t giving me the result that I needed. As hard as I was trying, I was left stressed out for months, working too many hours with not enough income. I have used what I learned from Manifesting 123 and you don’t need #3 and it has been very helpful at times. I can’t say that I’ve been absolutely diligent with the manifesting but lately, it was time to refocus on the idea of making something happen. I made a list of the outcomes I desired and in my prayers I asked for these things to become reality. I did the same thing with my manifesting practices. I used that same list, specifying that in my future all of the things on my list had already happened, and I was very grateful at the good outcome. Here’s my list: To be happier To make more money every day To be better organized in the work I’m doing and with time management Less stress That I would finish jobs ahead of schedule That I would have more time for me to enjoy life Here’s what happened: I often attend meetings with other contractors and we would swap ideas, advice and give each other support. In one of those meetings some year and a half ago, someone told me about a podcast series that I should seriously look into. It was a way to improve my business. I really didn’t give it another thought at the time but it came back to mind once I made my new manifesting list. I looked into the podcast and it was very, very informative. The podcast proposed a number of fresh ideas including a better way to handle customers, inquiries and on site presentations. The whole process was more insightful and efficient than what I was doing. The answer was available to me for over a year and I finally listened to it and realized that information could be just the thing I needed. Amazing that it didn’t “appear’ until I put together a plan using my thoughts and prayers to create a good outcome. I used the information for the podcast, put it to work and waited for the results. The outcome, as it turns out, was successful beyond my wildest dreams! Everything came together for me quickly, and in two weeks I got $30,000 in deposits! I’ve never had a success all at once like that. I have to tell you, it feels wonderful and going forward, the success has been continuing. I feel more confident, happy, less stressed, and finally, I have more time to just live! Oh, and my customers are happier as well, making repeat business much easier to get. I am thrilled at how all of this came together once I made a focused plan, asked for help and began to manifest a future where everything had come true. This works!! M.

“Act now as if you are in the place that you want to be.”

Sometime back, Judy Goodman passed this important suggestion onto me. I have a list of things I manifest every day and this idea is at the top of the list. Can I convincingly put 100% of myself in that mindset every day? No, but it sets a place for me at the table, so to speak. Although we may not be exactly “where we want to be,” we are fortunate to have an abundance of things in our present lives. From that viewpoint, we can observe that much is already “in place,” and the gap between the now and the “where you want to be” may feel smaller and not out of reach. As explained in the book, our thoughts literally create reality, and when you can tell yourself and feel that you are in a good place presently, your thoughts will aid in creating and maintaining that space for you. If we were to consder everything that comprises that good place and distill it down to a core description, we would simply call it happiness. Going back to the “Act now as if you are in the place that you want to be,” becomes an efficient way to take stock of your life presently and be grateful for what you have. Much is already “in place.” Happiness results, and that is our goal after all. This positive emotion attracts more happiness and even with the ups and downs in life, we are continuing forward to the “place that you want to be.” Take a bit of time and enjoy the happiness you have and pass it on. It’s delightfully contagious. Ken Want more? (it’s a fun ride)  Purchase the book or e-book.

We Required a New Home, Not Just Any Home and Fast!

Selling one home and buying another is typically a slow and complicated process. How can you speed everything up and find the perfect home hidden in the haystack? Read what Colette did and thank you for this inspiring story! Ken After living on a large, glorious property with a home and artist studio for many years, it was time to downsize and cut expenses. My husband and I have a rather high aesthetic, so keeping our standards up and being near the same location were priorities for us. Since we knew the area, my first choice was a cluster of town homes nearby. The price would work for us, but not all of these homes are alike. To make things more complicated, we put our present home on the market and quickly had a firm contract from a buyer. We needed our wonderful, new home fast. But…. None of our preferred homes in that cluster were presently for sale and there wasn’t a satisfactory plan B in sight. The market was in a frenzy, and there were many stories of how buyers weren’t able to stay in the area of their choice. I’m am very familiar with Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 and have been using it steadily for a long time now and with great results, so I knew things could turn out in my favor. First, I would have to ignore the fear and negative reports about the local market. Instead of planning for uncertainty, I started thinking about the possibilities of a new home. I put my manifesting skills right to work and imagined that one of those homes, the best of the group would quickly come up for sale and we would buy it! I started viewing my dream scenario homes on YouTube design episodes to keep my vibration up. Then I developed a movie of my own making, taking place in my future just like the book recommends. I kept it playful in order to stay inspired and to have fun in the process. My future movie went like this: STEP 1 I envisioned the feeling I would have while I was in my new home, the sense of relief and expansiveness. I kept focusing in my daydreams on the area I wanted, all the while looking around half-heartedly at other homes near our chosen area. STEP 2 I imagined visiting my ideal area and this time went right into the perfect home and seeing my furniture with the movers bringing it through the door. Plus, I was also imagining the homes on the street of my choice and telepathically communicated to the owners that they needed to move out – so we could move in. I did all of this with great confidence and once my movie was over I let it all go with gratitude. All of my desires around my new home, the street, the area all of it. I just didn’t think about it anymore for the rest of the day. At the start of the next day I continued again, daily manifesting for a couple of weeks … Then our real estate agent called us with the news that the best home of the group just came onto the market! We moved quickly and got a tour of the home. Surprisingly, we saw a jade sculpture and another work in amethyst inside, some of the same materials that my artist husband works with. Seeing those objects made us and the seller feel aligned with a commonality we all enjoyed. The home was perfect, so after seeing the home, we put in our offer and it was accepted immediately. In a tight buyer’s market, the connection we had with the seller prompted the seller to work with us even though there were multiple offers. The timing was perfect because our home tour meeting was the day before New Year’s and many agents and their buyers were distracted. We were thrilled. Everything came together as if by magic!!! I wanted to share this and encourage others to do the same. It’s all in the book and it is so simple to do!
