From Fear into Joy: Manifesting My Beautiful Plan
Steve writes: Earlier this year, my world as I knew it changed. I faced the truth of who I Am and walked straight into my 3 biggest FEARS. I walked out of my marriage of 20 years, packed my things and moved out of the perfect house I had renovated it for the last 18 months. As planned, I closed my business as a painting contractor just as my van died and was towed to the junk yard! Well, the van breaking down wan’t part of the plan. I knew I had to do some healing, find my Balance, dust myself off, get up and start my new journey. As I sat in the temporary home I just rented, I wondered who I might become. I remembered what Ken Elliott had discussed about the truth of how consciousness works and how thoughts create our reality. As suggested in his book Manifesting 123, I created a movie with scenes of the positive future I desired. In each of these scenes I added my gratitude. I imagined myself in my perfect house and I was open to all the possibilities for my highest good and joy. I continued my movie exercise every day for three weeks and I felt my happiness growing. The book described how our thoughts and emotions literally create form, giving me every confidence that the home I was manifesting would appear. When I meditate (separate from my manifesting time), I can visualize futures and get information that is important to me for the asking. In my meditations, I asked to be shown the house I was working to manifest, the home that would be perfect for me. In my minds eye I saw the house with a glass door leading to a back porch. In this view I noticed the roof line was in the shape of an “A” and next to me was a woman with long blonde hair, looking out the glass door into the yard. It was a comforting vision and very encouraging. I continued my manifesting practice every day and planned for my next step. I started working with a realtor. She emailed many houses for my review but none were to my liking. A short time later she called and said there was a house not yet on the market that I might want to see in person. Up to this point I had only viewed homes online, so this house would the first I would tour physically. Once in the house, I could quickly tell that the home was perfect for me and more than I could have imagined. It had a fireplace, perfect flow, was newly remodeled and it even had heated bathroom floors. Yes, it was exactly the house I saw in my minds eye! Everything was happening quickly and smoothly now. Making the downpayment was going to be a real problem but my relatives gave me a short-term loan so I could make the purchase. I was so grateful at how everything fell into place! I’ll take a little breath and mention that today I met a very nice woman that looks a lot like the one in my vision. She seems to match the woman I have been manifesting for my future. I am so grateful each and every day, comforted and empowered, knowing how our thoughts can create amazing results! Steve Have a manifesting story to share?

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.

Manifesting a Better Relationship with my Mother in Law. Magical!
This story is something remarkable. It shows the power of our thoughts and how they not only change ourselves, but how they can effect our relationships. Angela was in a very tough spot and lacking other options, she began to manifest a good and loving future. From desparate to magical! Ken Angela writes: I am truly blessed to have married a wonderful man who is my best friend, soul mate, and all around amazing guy. We have been happily married for 14 years and the only, the ONLY problem we have ever had in our marriage has been the relationship between me and his mother – my Mother-in-Law (M.I.L). It wasn’t always a terrible relationship. In the beginning we got along great. She was very friendly and gracious to me, and told me often how happy she was that her son and I married. I felt very blessed to have her in my life, but as soon as we had kids my Mother-in-Law turned into Monster-in-Law! When it came to our two children there was nothing I could do right in her eyes. She would pick on every single thing I did. She had no filter, no patience, and made absolutely no effort to consider my feelings. She would just shout out exactly what she thought I was doing wrong at exactly the moment she wanted to. She was driving me crazy, and it didn’t matter where we were, or who was present. Once during a holiday dinner with invited guests she angrily announced in front of everyone that she was going to call child protective services because I wasn’t cutting up the dinner in small enough pieces and the children would choke and die! I was so embarrassed and fed up with her behavior, that I told her to get out. Needless to say both children ended up crying at the dinner table. Her constant berating and haranguing words were hurtful, disrespectful and never failed to provoke me to anger. My husband and I felt bullied and it was also upsetting our children. They loved their Grandma, but she never failed to include them in every one of her crazy outbursts so it soon became apparent that they felt like they were in the middle and needed to choose sides – Mom or Grandma. This was not a healthy environment for any of us. My husband always and without fail readily rallied to my defense and either talked her down until she apologized, or he drove her immediately home. He even tried setting up a series of therapy sessions for all of us together. She was having none of it. Nothing we tried worked. It got so bad that I didn’t even want her over the house anymore, which of course wasn’t fair to either my husband or our children since the problem for her was obviously me, and not them. So over a period of several years I just about turned myself inside out to please her and keep the peace for the sake of my family, but it rarely worked for long. I had read Ken’s book a year or so earlier, and one day after another big M.I.L. explosion, it just hit me. Maybe I could make a movie to manifest a better Mother-in-Law! That night when all was quiet and right before falling asleep I worked on creating a movie where she was a kind and friendly person who said only nice things to me. Well, that sure as hell didn’t work. About 15 seconds into our “nice” imaginary conversation I began re-living all of the fights we had, and then my movie would turn into me telling her to take a hike, and then I was happily imagining tossing her out a window! Not good. So I stopped trying to be specific and instead just focused on imagining future with her being happy and engaged and joyful. There were the three things I thought she was lacking in her life. I basically took myself out of this future movie entirely. It was the only way I could let go of the negative emotion I had towards her. Amazingly, after about two weeks of doing this every night, not only did I actually start to feel better about her, but she also began to reciprocate the same feeling! It was very subtle at first, but I could absolutely feel that she was becoming warmer and kinder and friendlier to me. We would invite her over and she would not make any comments, or if she did they were more like friendly suggestions on parenting, instead of outright angry indictments. My husband noticed the change and so did the kids. I kept on every night with my movie about “Happy Grandma” and after a couple of months, she began to say things to me that I had never heard from her before like “I am so glad you put up with me,” and “I am so happy you are willing to listen to me.” Then one night as she was leaving the house, she hugged me hard and said “I am so grateful for you.” It was a huge turning point as she was showing me not just kindness, but also humility, grace and compassion. I was so happy and I knew that finally, she was happy too. It has been well over a year now since we were in full out combat with each other, and while we have had some small “disagreements” over that time, they were nothing more than that. Much to the surprise of everyone close to me that knew of my M.I.L predicament, she and I have truly become close; I would even say best friends! I talk to her several times during the work week – she either calls me or I call her to share thoughts, ideas, and tell her about what the kids are up to. We both enjoy our conversations and we usually end up laughing about something, and right before we
I Instantly Manifested That Singular Sock from Thousands!
You have to love this story. The pressure was on and the odds were long but Patrice and her manifesting came through. This is a great demo of what we can do, large or small. Check out the quote at the end of the story…. Ken Patrice writes: My husband, two kids and I were at an outlet shopping mall on a Saturday afternoon and the place was packed. We had been there about three hours and we were all getting weary of the crowds. My husband was trying to steer the kids back to the car, when my 11 year old daughter spotted a store dedicated entirely to selling colorfully printed “mismatched” socks – basically a ‘tween’s dream store! She begged for us to go inside. I promised my husband we would take a “quick” look. No more than 10 minutes. He resignedly planted himself, along with all of our shopping bags, at a seating area just outside of the store. Inside there were socks of every color, pattern, print and style in strategically arranged displays. The idea was to pick different socks in order to “mismatch” them and create your own style. A sales clerk approached and informed us of a special sale going on that day – if we picked out any six socks we could get another six socks free. That was all my daughter need to hear to start running through the store picking out socks. When more than 10 minutes went by and we were still sock shopping I looked out the front of the store to check on my husband. He gave up the sitting position and was now laying down on a low brick wall with our shopping bags piled around him. I knew I had to wrap things up soon before he started snoring in public. My daughter had a shopping basket with 11 mismatched socks, just one shy of the 12 sock requirement. She said she was looking for a sock with hearts on it but couldn’t find one. The sales clerk motioned us towards a huge bin stuffed with clearance priced socks, and told us that there might be a heart printed sock in there somewhere. The bin was literally the length and depth of a cattle watering trough and I thought ‘Holy cow, there are literally thousands of socks in there and this will be like looking for a needle in a haystack!’ The sales clerk told my daughter the heart print is very popular, gently suggesting to her that there just might not be another one left in the store. I pointed out to my daughter her father sleeping on top of a wall outside of the store, and told her to just pick a different sock so we could leave. She was resigned to do so, but she looked so sad, and we were having so much fun in that store, that I said “Let’s give it a go!” The sales clerk, my daughter and I immediately began digging though that huge, seemingly bottomless bin of socks. Without over thinking it, and within the space of what was probably 15 seconds at most, I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and let my heart feel the calmness and happiness and sheer joy of being in that crazy sock store with my beautiful and amazing daughter, and the absolute fun and silliness of what we were doing at that moment. I gracefully and softly asked from my heart for a perfect heart sock and within the space and time of an exhale I placed my hand in the bin and simultaneously opened my eyes to retrieve exactly that sock. I can’t even begin to explain the feeling, the knowing, that I did in fact manifest that sock. Later that weekend, while we were folding laundry and laying out all 12 socks, I told my daughter “how” I manifested that sock from that gigantic bin. She gave me the perfect response, “Mom, anything is possible if you believe it, even a heart sock.” Manifesting 1-2-3 is a game changer in my life. Once I read the book I immediately began using Ken’s movie technique to successfully manifest all kinds of things, big and small. But what really fascinated me from his book was the story of how he worked with Judy Goodman to learn how a thought can be “formed up” into reality through the manifesting process. That day in the sock store I did in fact pull a single, perfect heart print sock right out of that huge bin. I can only describe it as feeling like the sock just sort of appeared right on top of the thousands of other socks. Have a manifesting story to share?

Everywhere Should be the “Happiest Place on Earth” – What I Learned about Manifesting from a Trip to Disney World
What an amazing story that Lisa sent in. It is full of long and short-term manifesting successes. She has sent in some amazing stories before because Lisa usees Manifesting 123 to make things happen! Write your own ticket soon!! Ken Lisa writes: Last summer we took our family – me, the hubby, and our two kids, ages 7 and 10, to Disney World. This was a big ticket trip for us and so for about two years we saved up the money, the vacation days from work, and the travel points on our credit cards. I discovered Manifesting 1-2-3 and I was creating my movie every day with the intention of realizing the perfect vacation. When it came time to book and plan all the details, so many things were just falling into place so easily! We got an amazing deal on a 2 bedroom condo with a water park right on the property, we hit just the right online sale to purchase airline tickets with really great arrival and departure times, and when it came time to book all of those “fast pass” rides we were able to get choice time slots for all of the best rides. These were all things that I envisioned in my manifesting movie! It was still a month out before we were to leave for the trip but I was feeling really good and I was so unbelievably grateful for how our upcoming trip was unfolding. I was happy, relaxed and despite the daily grind of having to go to work, run errands, do laundry, shuttle the kids all over town, and all of the other typical stuff that falls into a regular day, I was feeling so happy that I felt like I was already on vacation. The interesting thing about this time was that I noticed a lot of other good things popping into my life. It felt like my excitement and happiness about the upcoming trip were “powering up” even the most basic intentions. Front parking spots were opening up everywhere, and people I needed to reach and things I needed to find were readily coming forward, and right on time. It was one thing to have our vacation come together so perfectly, but the “side bonus” of having my day to day life run so smoothly and effortlessly was an even bigger reward! I began to realize that manifesting is more than just making a particular situation like a dream vacation come into reality. It can be so much more! Thank you Ken for this amazing manifesting tool. It has totally changed my life. At Disney World, Manifesting the Magical Experience As a result of Ken’s book I was able to manifest an absolutely amazing dream vacation to Disney World for my whole family, but it was what happened once we were in the park that really made me see how immediate and fun manifesting can be. I was curious to see if I could “movie” an intention or set of intentions into instant reality throughout our trip. With two small kids in tow, I really wanted nothing more than to avoid long lines for rides, and since we would be there in the Summer I also did not want us to get rained on every day either. As we drove into the Magic Kingdom Park I took a moment to feel happy, relaxed and grateful to be on vacation. I told my husband that I was going to walk through the Disney park envisioning, and then stating out loud to him, everything I wanted to manifest. He has always been both skeptical and fascinated by the whole manifesting idea, so even though he looked at me like I was nuts, he said he would be supportive if it meant no lines for rides in a very crowded theme park. So much to the embarrassment of both of my children I shouted out loud in the crowd: “We are going to have an amazing day at Disney World where we get on every ride with NO lines and NO waiting and we will NOT get rained on!!!”. A lady standing next to me with what looked like a family of 10 all in matching t-shirts, leaned close and said “Amen, sister”. We didn’t exactly skip all the lines for rides, but it kept happening that at the time we walked up to a particular ride the line was at its shortest wait time. There were some other totally amazing things happening too! Costume characters started showing up right where we were located and with NO lines, we got the only empty table at one of the most popular lunch spots in the park with NO waiting, while shopping for Mickey stuff with a bazillion other people jammed into the park’s gift shop, a new register opened up and the cashier motioned us up first, and just when the kids were getting hot and asked for an ice cream treat a Disney employee rolled up with a cart and parked it about 5 feet from where we were standing and we were first in line! But the very best happened at the end of the day. The kids really wanted to go on Pirates of the Caribbean and we knew it was going to be a busy ride so we saved it for last. When we got there the posted time indicated a 90 minute wait from where we were standing. My husband says to me “Well, so much for manifesting that ride,” but after barely 5 minutes of standing there, and at the absolute end of the very long line, a park employee walked up to us first and said the ride is closing for repairs right now, but here is a complimentary “skip the line” ticket for any ride you want in the park and with NO expiration date! Husband was speechless, kids were stunned. So despite hearing that the park was at one of their peak busy times for the year, we never felt crowded or
Prayer and Manifesting at a Critical Time
My daughter lives in another city and was recently involved in a serious accident and fractured her skull. One of the fractures could have caused her death because it was next to her brain stem. My husband and I flew up to be with her and I immediately started praying and visualizing her full recovery with her return to vibrant health. I refused to see her as brain impaired or any of the other terrible outcomes that tried to come into my brain. My husband wanted to talk about some of those outcomes and understandably so, but I kept telling him to focus on her recovery, not on his fears. I continually expressed gratitude for her healing as I saw her beautiful self getting on with her life, healthy and happy. I stayed with this visualization over a few weeks and I never lost the vision, gratitude and certainty that she would be ok. Within a few days she was lucid and clearly herself mentally. She had a lot of concussion symptoms but without and symptoms of brain damage. She came out of the hospital and slowly continued to improve. It has now been 3 weeks and I continue to picture her healthy and recovered. I am expressing enormous gratitude for all that has transpired. She is much better and hoping to return to work next week. I am so, so grateful! I have to say that there were a lot of people praying for my daughter. I also asked all my non-praying friends to focus on her recovery and send healing thoughts, wishes and energy. So there was a lot of positive energy being channeled towards her. I also realize that we cannot manifest an outcome for a person that is not right for them. I chose to do my part as sincerely and as full of gratitude and emotion as I could. I understand that there were many other factors involved and the final outcome is determined by a much greater and higher reality. Cynthia In the most uncertain of times with a lot at stake, it is easy to be overcome with fear and complexity. At a time of great trial, Cynthia used two great tools: prayer and manifesting. She brought in more people to add to her own prayers and steadfastly imagnied a future with her daughter’s positive result. There is so much to be thankful for here and I so admire how Cynthia quickly took action and brought others in to help. Thank you for your beautiful story. Ken Have a manifesting story to share?

Money Was a Real Concern Until I Manifested My Big Break
K. writes: Recently I decided to make a big change in my life, to leave a comfortable, safe situation and relocate to Colorado. I am pulled to be there, so off I go! I have accumulated years of things that would fill many boxes but I am only keeping what I need and the few precious things infused with good memories. There is much to plan but you can’t foresee everything. I know the minimum of what I require for a home but that place has not yet been found. I have calculated and considered all that I can think of and I’m moving forward. There is one consideration that nags at me and that is to have enough money to make this move and continue to pay the bills going forward. I’m on my own with this, so it is a nagging concern. This move will be an expensive one and my available money is tight. I am an artist without that guaranteed paycheck, so I have been working on manifesting quick sales of my art to make this move go smoothly. I can cover the moving expenses but just barely. Some new sales would provide a financial cushion. That is what I expect will happen because I am visualizing it. Also, I’m seeing my future where the move is complete and I’m living happily in my new home. I can see that everything worked out just fine and I’m so very grateful! Lately I’ve been too busy with moving preparations to paint and sales from my existing works haven’t materialized. My current plan is to keep up my manifesting and prayers for success while keeping my expenses to a bare minimum. I am not going to fall into the worry trap over money and create a negative outcome, but the money bit sure comes up a lot! After reading Manifesting 123, I created some success stories that showed up in this newsletter last year. Thanks to the book, I understand how manifesting actually works and that gives me a real stick-with-itness and determination. This is all going to happen with an Ease and a Grace, just as the book suggests to specify it. I caught a break from a mysterious envelope that arrived in the mail the other day. It was a letter explaining a class action settlement that had been in the courts for years. Basically, it was about a woman that was in an accident years back. She was an employee of the state, same as I was, and this woman did not fully receive some of the benefits allowed for a state employee after her accident. There was a check inside for $2700, made out to me! I had also been in an accident years ago and apparently the state had also been a bit short on helping me with my additional time off or benefits. The interest on the original amount was substantial and made for a very nice settlement. I had no idea of any of this! It was like money out of the sky and it gives me just the cushion I need to confidently go forward with my relocation. I am so very happy and grateful for my personal miracle! K. Thank you for your story K! In my conversation with her we had some great laughs and her calm was contagious. We had a happy call and it got even better. K. felt the amount of her windfall was more than enough and it got her to thinking. She had a couple of friends in a financial pinch and a little something would help a lot, so she sent some of her gift their way. There was also a charity that pulled her heart and she donated some of her new wealth to that organization as well. I was very touched and told her what we have all heard many times, that if you give it away, it will come back to you. We agreed that there are better motives beyond getting a quick return, that those ‘returns’ come in many forms – that giving doesn’t require a reward. Here is an additional idea. Something else happens when we give, particularly when we are giving from what feels like a sacrifice of money, time or energy. In a way, we are making a statement that we are in a place of comfort and abundance. We act as if we can easily afford to share that wealth with others. This act is an intention, a thought that has the power to create. You can also direct this to you by treating yourself, even modestly and giving yourself the gift of more time by taking a few minutes to just rest when you need it. Giving freely and lovingly creates a powerful pathway to receive. Holding on tightly to something can create an intention of lack, backed by fear. In each case, a thought is in play and those thoughts can make anything happen. To make any thought more powerful and create more efficiently, just add the emotion of love or fear. It’s a simple recipe and an opportunity to decide what you wish to consistantly create in your life, love or fear. There is power in both and they have very different outcomes.

I Put Manifesting to the Test in Three Different Ways
Thank you Sue for your three stories. She is new to this and did not have any special skills or gifts but just followed the information in the book. She also had the very big advantage of understanding how her thoughts can actually create change. This is not wishing and hoping, but literally building by using thoughts and gratitude, simply and powerfully. It’s all in the book, so make it work for you! Note: The woman that is central to Manifesting 123, Judy Goodman, will be holding a workshop, “Why Do We Hurt” in the Denver metro Sat. Nov 5. compete info Ken Dear Ken, I heard your radio interview on manifesting and was highly intrigued! I immediately bought your book and have been reading it. I’d like to share some stories where I deliberately used the ideas in the book to manifest something. #1 First I thought I’d try to manifest hearing from a friend whom I hadn’t heard from for a long time. I pictured her contacting me, either by email or by phone (I tried not to be too specific) and then I pictured myself hearing from her and getting very excited. I kept on doing this during the day whenever I thought about it. Each time I did it I expressed gratitude for hearing from her and really put as much gratitude and excitement into it as I could. I did occasionally have some doubts, but I just pushed them away and went back to my visualization. That night I checked my email and there was not just one, but 2 emails from her! I was so excited, just as I had pictured, and immediately gave thanks! #2 The second occasion was when I was helping my mom-in-law to move. It had been a long and difficult process and now it was the day of the move. Everything was packed into the moving truck and I was driving in front of them to lead them to her new house when it began to rain very heavily. We are in Florida where it really pelts down. I started manifesting that it would clear up before we needed to unpack the truck. I visualized the sky as clear, without rain and I expressed my gratitude. This idea was a little harder because I kept thinking that I couldn’t influence the weather and such, but I told myself that it was for the higher good of helping her and it could rain again after the truck was unpacked. So I quite intensely saw that there was no rain and gave thanks as it continued to pour. When we got to the gate of her community it was still pouring and I was ignoring the doubts that were trying hard to intrude! As we drove up to her house it suddenly stopped raining and a few minutes later the sun even came out!! I was very, very grateful and grinning from ear to ear! #3 Last is the example of my deliberate manifestation with a flight back home. My husband, who has Parkinson’s disease, and I were both exhausted and emotionally drained from the visit after assisting someone close to us that was in an accident. We had upgraded our tickets to first class, wanting an easy flight home, but they gave us seats in economy. My husband was very upset and all his pent up feelings about assisting after the accident came out. Before boarding, we were told that there were no seats left in first class and that they were very sorry, but we’d have to write to the airline to get a refund. He was understandably angry, called for a supervisor while I decided to manifest seats in first class. I sat down and really focused on getting seats in the first class section. There are only 12 first class seats so I had to push away thoughts that I may be wanting something impossible or that it would cause other people inconvenience. That took a bit of extra focus but I was determined to see us in first class and I was so grateful for those seats. My husband tried to talk to me about how frustrated and angry he was but I asked him to please let me concentrate and to try to focus his energy on seeing us getting the first class seats. After about 20 minutes they started boarding the plane. We went over to the desk and the supervisor handed us 2 boarding passes for first class!!! I started grinning from ear to ear and after expressing huge gratitude, said to my husband, “Don’t you see what just happened?” I’m not sure he did! I can’t explain how this came to be. Perhaps 2 people had to be moved to economy or they didn’t show up for the flight, but I figured that’s not my business. That’s for the universe to sort out. This manifesting experience was fun!!! Thank you so much for your book and for explaining these simple tools and how they actually work to help us consciously create the life we want. I’m telling everyone about it! Many blessings and grateful thanks to you, Sue Have a manifesting story to share?

A Serious Disease, My Troubled Past and Manifesting a Healthy Solution
M. writes: This summer I was diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism. This is a silent and deadly killer that often goes undiagnosed. The four parathyroid glands control the amount of calcium in the blood. When one of these glands develops a tumor it becomes hyper and sends out too much calcium. The result is that the bones dump much larger than normal amounts of calcium into the blood. What follows is a weakening of the bones and the high levels of blood calcium can do serious damage to many of the organs and systems in the body. This disease presents itself in many different ways and is very difficult to diagnose. Chronic fatigue is common as well as problems with different organs, blood pressure, altered moods and many more. If this is not treated the person usually dies from major organ failure or stroke. A good source of information about this disease can be found at www.parathyroid.com I don’t believe that illnesses are always the result of ”wrong thinking.” Our bodies are very complex and so is the environment in which we live. As a nurse, I understand things like viruses, superbugs, chemical imbalances and lifestyle choices. As a spiritual person, I believe we can be greatly influenced by our own thoughts and feelings. We know that what we think and feel can be translated into chemical responses throughout the body. Fear triggers a different response than being in love. I reviewed my life and some very interesting facts emerged. I was in a “traditional” marriage for 40 years. My husband was the head of the family and my job was to take care of him, the kids and keep a happy home. I was the good wife. I held my tongue and did not stand up for my needs. I buried my hurt deep inside my heart and worked to exhaustion at times to make sure everyone was cared for. I didn’t rock the boat and I remained sweet and supportive. The disease I was suffering with attacked my body and soul in symbolic locations. It hit my bones, throat, heart and drained the energy of my spirit. I felt a correlation between my bones and the fact that I didn’t stand up to my needs in the past. I had tumors entangled in my throat, perhaps from a lack of using my voice to express myself. My heart experienced high blood pressure and palpitations. I was carrying the weight of unfulfilled dreams, hurts, longings, and disappointments. This disease drained my spirit of energy so I was fatigued all the time and suffered erratic sleep patterns. It affected my concentration and memory as well. I was not in good shape so I set forth an action to be healed. I used the techniques and information in Manifesting 123. Since the book explained how my thoughts actually create what I think, I felt empowered to imagine a future where I had been returned to perfect health. I did this every day using the simple movie technique and I expressed gratitude for my healing. I did a lot of research and came across a hospital with the doctors and experience that felt comfortable to me. This hospital was across the country from my home but everything I needed for the trip fell into place beautifully. I was assigned to a team of surgeons and the head of surgery took the lead on my operation. I’m very grateful for their work. The head surgeon told me afterwards that the procedure was a challenge because the tumor has grown around my vocal chords. The surgery went wonderfully and I had a very fast recovery from my debilitating disease. Further, I have forgiven myself for any negative thoughts and choices I have made. I’m committed to remain healthy by standing up for myself and speaking to my needs. I allow my heart to feel safe with my emotions and I lovingly feed and take care of my body and spirit. I still can’t believe how everything fell into place so quickly and how dramatically I returned to health. Looking back, I can see how my past thoughts and actions may have played into my illness. My friend Judy Goodman, who plays a large role in the book, makes a statement, ”Our thoughts raise up to meet us and create the path we travel on.” Did I manifest all of those? I’ll let you decide for yourself. As for me, I now examine my thoughts, roles and relationships very carefully. I understand how our thoughts and choices create reality so in my life, I am manifesting a beautiful future going forward. M. Have a manifesting story to share?
