Knowing exactly what is possible can be very empowering

Knowing exactly what is possible can be very empowering, but ultimately it's your determination and hard work that make the difference between failure and success.
Faith without works is dead… James.2:26

Your mind is a powerful tool.

Your mind is a powerful tool.
Develop it,protect it.
Use it wisely.
But more important than your mind,it's your soul that touches people.

What has traditionally been known as the Sun  is about the self -- who you are and how you cultivate your personality and character. The earth revolves around the sun to make up one year of a person's life, a fact we celebrate on our birthday.

The Sun  could also be titled "Back to Eden." The Sun's radiance is where one's original nature or unconditioned Being can be encountered in health and safety. The limitations of time and space are stripped away; the soul is refreshed and temporarily protected from the chaos outside the garden walls.

Under the light of the Sun, Life reclaims its primordial goodness, truth and beauty. If one person is shown on this , it is usually signifying a human  of the Divine. When two humans are shown, the image is portraying a resolution of the tension between opposites at all levels. It's as if this  is saying "You can do no wrong -- it's all to the good!"

Quote of the Day

"There are only four ways to create value (in a digital economy): information, entertainment, convenience, and savings."

Jokes Etc,

Three business associates, an Igbo man, a
Yoruba man and a Chinese man, went to eat
lunch together at a restaurant in Surulere.
While in the middle of their meal, a fly came in
through the window. It flew across the table
to where the Igbo man was but he just
waved his hands to chase it away.
The fly then went to where the Yoruba man
was, he also chased it away.
Finally, the fly then went to where the Chinese
man was and was flying close to his ears. The
Chinese man looked at the fly for sometime
and then grabbed it, put it in his mouth and
swallowed it.
The other men saw this but just kept on
eating.
About Five minutes later, another fly came in
and flew to the Yoruba man who just chased
it away again.
It then flew on to the Igbo man but this time
he did not chase the fly, he looked at it for
sometime and then grabbed it. He then
turned to the Chinese man and asked "how
much you go buy am?"

Relationships: Why Do Some People Feel Abandoned When A Relationship Ends?

Relationships: Why Do Some People Feel Abandoned When A Relationship Ends?

While some people are able to handle break ups reasonably well, there are other people who find them to be extremely difficult. And although it could all depend on how long the relationship has lasted for or on the kind of connection that they had with the other person, these two factors are not always important.

It may have been a relationship that only lasted for a short period of time and there may have been little, if any, connection. It could have been abusive for instance. But even if it hasn't lasted for very long or it wasn't working, it doesn't mean that one can simply move on.

This is something that could happen to anyone and yet, there are some people who are going to have experienced this on numerous occasions. It could even have become a way of life and something they have become accustomed to.

Pain

So whenever one experiences the end of a relationship it is going to be extremely painful. Other people could say that it didn't last for very long or that it wasn't working and many other things and yet, this is not going to make any difference.

Intellectually one may agree and wonder why they feel as they do. As at an emotional level, one could end up feeling as they have self destructed. One minute one was in a relationship and now they are not, and it could feel like the end of the world no matter what did or didn't happen when they were together.

Abandonment

And for some people, this pain is going to be the result of feeling abandoned. It then won't matter how long their relationships last for or how fulfilling they are, as one is going to end up feeling the same.

When a relationship comes to an end, it could feel as though one has lost part of themselves. It could be so overwhelming, that one feels as though they are going to die. Through feeling this way, one could end up doing things that are far from healthy.

Consequences

One may end up finding another relationship as soon as they can to avoid feeling abandoned. It might not matter who it is or how compatible they are, as long as one finds someone to take their pain away.

This could even cause one to use alcohol or drugs as a way to numb their pain. Or they could just let the pain consume them and end up feeling down and depressed.

Avoidance

So some people will soon end up in another relationship and there will be other people who go in the opposite direction. They will do all they can to avoid getting to close to another person.

This will allow them to experience a greater sense of control over how they feel; the downside is that one is still going to feel abandoned. It might not be as strong, but it won't simply go away.

Time Goes By

However, as the need to be close to another won't go away, one could soon be in another relationship. And there is then the chance that one will end up in the same position they were in before.

Over Reacting

So other people could find it hard to understand why one feels as they do and one might have the same outlook. They could say that one needs to move on or let go. But due to the pain they are experiencing, it is not possible for them to just move on and let go.

The relationship has come to an end and one is still alive, but at an emotional level, they can feel completely overwhelmed. And not only will they feel abandoned; they can also feel hopeless and powerless and there can also experience extreme grief.

Emotional Build Up

Every time a relationship comes to an end and one feels abandoned, it is going to add to how they felt before when a relationship ended. That is unless they have worked through their emotions.

So it is clear to see why it can be so painful. And the reason why one does feel abandoned when a relationship comes to an end could due to what happened during their childhood years.

Childhood

And to be abandoned as a child is going to be overwhelming and feel like the end of the world. At that age, one doesn't have the ability to regulate their emotions. So when one was abandoned and no one was around, their emotional pain would not have been processed.

It would have ended up being trapped in their body. And although being abandoned was painful, it would have been associated as familiar and therefore safe. So all the time these emotions are trapped in one's body, one will continue to re-create the same experiences.

Awareness

So in order for one to move beyond this pattern in their life, it will be important for them to let go of the emotional build up within them. As this takes place, one will no longer need to re-create the same experience or to feel the same.

This is something that can take place through the assistance of a therapist or a healer.

Your Energy Level Determines Your Luck

Your Energy Level Determines Your Luck

By Enoch Tan, Creator of Secrets of Mind and Reality

Many people think that luck is something that is purely random, unpredictable and difficult to control. That is because they do not know what luck really is. When you are able to know the true definition of luck, you can learn the whole science behind this phenomena and gain control over it.

Luck is another aspect of your reality and perhaps the most powerful and important one. The more conscious and aware you become of the elements of your reality, the more of a conscious and powerful creator you will be.

Your luck is your psychokinetic resonance with the environment you are in. Like everything else, luck is an energy. It is something that is quantifiable not in physical but in nonphysical ways. You can quantify it physically only in terms of its physical manifestations in your life. Luck is dependent on time, place and consciousness.

When you are lucky, you are in mental and emotional resonance with your surroundings.

When you are unlucky, it is the opposite. The level of resonance is the level of your luck.

Luck is also a feeling or emotion because emotion is energy in motion. When you are lucky, you are also feeling lucky. Your feeling is your vibration and therefore you are vibrating luck and feeing it. You feel and experience that everything is working for you when you are lucky.

You feel that everything is working against you when you aren't lucky. A state of vibrational harmony or disharmony with your environment is the whole explanation for this. You either feel that things are in a flow or things are disrupted.

Your energy level determines your luck vibration. At times when you are feeling low of energy, that is also when your luck vibration is at a low point. You are more likely to make careless mistakes, become more accident prone and flop up in some way. When you are feeling high of energy, that is also when your luck vibration is in a high state. You are sharper, clearer and more in the zone. You seem to be able to do amazing things in ways that baffle others to the point that makes you seem very skillful or lucky.

Actually luck and skill are one. The more in energetic resonance you are with your environment, the more your skill will work and the luckier you'll seem. You can always observe that when the best are in action, they always seem to have both their skill and the situation working for them. You can never separate luck from skill because after all, they are both part of the same thing called psychokinetic resonance with the environment. Your skill is your capability of handling the situation which depends on luck.

Once you know that luck is an energy, you can depend on it in that manner. You cannot depend on luck that is considered to be random chance occurrence. You can't depend on such things because they do not exist. A non existent thing cannot be depended upon. Everything that exists is a part of consciousness and can be controlled by consciousness. Therefore luck exist and is fully under your control. Knowing this, you never have to fear of bad luck because you can make all things work in your favor.

Since luck is dependent on energy, you have to pay attention to your level of energy in every moment and take charge of it. When you notice that your energy level is low, be more careful with the things you do especially if they are important. You may make mistakes that usually never happen, and wonder how could you be so unlucky or stupid.

You may realize that every time you have made careless or stupid mistakes that seem to be like bad luck, it was when your energy level was indeed at a low point.

Lack of focus and lack of being adequately present minded also creates bad luck. Do you notice that when you make stupid mistakes in situations, you felt that you were not ready? What do you mean by not being ready? You mean that you weren't focusing properly or fully enough, and you weren't being adequately present minded. The first step to controlling luck is to be present minded. If you want to be lucky, you must put your focus in the activity you are doing. Or else you'd create bad luck and mistakes.

Your level of focus and placing your mind in the present determines your psychokinetic resonance with the environment. Focusing is how you channel energy towards a particular time and place. When your focus is here, your energy is channeled here and you experience luck here. Where you focus is where you generate luck in. That is why the secret of success is focus. Successful people are lucky people because they have more focus than the unsuccessful and unlucky ones. Focus to be a lucky one.

Seek to maintain a high level of energy or vibration at all times. People who experience their luck going up and down throughout the day allow their energy to go up and down. People who experience their luck being consistently high all the time maintain their energy and vibration at a high level. At times when your energy is low, seek to increase it to a higher level again. Do not continue doing any work at a low level of energy because you will tend to make mistakes. Recharge your energy first, then work.

Be aware of negative thoughts and feelings that will bring your level of energy or vibration lower. Positive thoughts and feelings bring your energy level and vibrations higher. Therefore choose to think positive thoughts and feel positive emotions, and you will experience more luck and success in your life. You can also increase your luck when you are more intent of succeeding in a certain situation. Your energy of intent will energize you with the luck you need, and that is why willful intent bends the world to you.

Top 5 Destructive Money Beliefs

Top 5 Destructive Money Beliefs

Do you feel worthy?

Do you feel like you deserve money and wealth...

Or on a subconscious level, do you have a more disempowering conversation going on that's actually REPELLING money from you…
in ways that you might not even consciously realize?

If you're curious to find out, I highly recommend you grab yourself a seat on Natalie Ledwell's upcoming:
"How to Eliminate Self-Limiting Beliefs"
online training session - save your spot now!

According to Natalie, there are several subconscious limiting money beliefs that can block the flow of wealth into your life.

(And considering she's spent the last 6 years speaking, writing books and creating tools on how to unlock more abundance into your life, I think she knows a thing or two about manifesting money!)

Here are the Top 5 Limiting Money Beliefs that afflict 99% of the population - one of which you may have buried in your subconscious mind that's been working against you for years, maybe even decades...

#1: There is not enough money to go around.

#2: It takes money to make money.

#3: It's greedy for me to want more.

#4: If I become wealthy people will hate me.

#5: I'm not worthy.

Is one of these limiting beliefs sabotaging your income in ways that you may not even consciously realize?

You May Be Broke, But Don't Be Boring

You May Be Broke, But Don't Be Boring

By Steve Pavlina

Eliminating limiting beliefs about abundance won't help much if you still cling to limiting beliefs about being broke.

Could you be totally broke the rest of your life and still have a blast? If you can't see that yet, you're:

    blind to what really matters in life
    turning money into a power source
    being boring

Don't expect the universe to lavish abundance on you for being blind, powerless, and boring.

Being broke is fun!

It's an adventure.

It's a challenge for your creativity — not to race past it, but to fully enjoy the experience of being broke.

You needn't put your life on hold just because you're broke.

You can still fall in love.

You can laugh.

You can exercise.

You can read the greatest books ever written.

You can write. You can compose music. You can create art. If you have no money for art supplies, make art with sand. If you have no money for musical instruments, sing.

You can couchsurf and explore new places.

You can have really great sex.

You can work on your social skills and make tons of new friends.

When I was broke, I used a cardboard box as a piece of furniture. Should I have felt down about that? Wouldn't it be better to laugh at the silliness of it? Being broke is filled with silliness. Laugh at your late fees. A late fee is kind ridiculous, isn't it? You got charged $35 because you forgot to put a piece of paper in the mail by a certain date? Call the company and tell them to remove that silly fee. They usually will.

If you're broke, so what? Stop making it into this terrible thing that you have to escape as quickly as possible. Stop stressing out about it. By global standards, if you're reading this, you're probably far from what many would consider truly destitute. You're probably still among the wealthier half of the world. Many people on this planet would LOVE to upgrade to your version of brokeness, which they'd regard as unimaginable wealth. You have clean water to drink? You aren't under daily threat of violence? Internet — what is that? You must be so rich!

See your life through their eyes. Realize that you've been pretending to be in a state of lack, when you already have such lavish abundance.

And stop being so boring. Being broke is no excuse for that. Put the fun back in your life. Pursue your passions, even while you're broke, not because you're trying to escape brokeness but because you realize you're already more than rich enough. Stop wallowing in fear and self pity. Make your life ridiculously fun right now. Don't put your dreams on hold just because you don't have money. That's stupid. And it's really boring to watch!

Sign up for free updatesQuit stressing yourself out about not having much money. Take some pride in being broke. There's nothing wrong with it at all. Some people revel in it.

Focusing on abundance is great, but don't envision an abundant future and neglect your present. See the abundance you already have. Squeeze all the juice out of today, right where you are.

Transform your relationship with here and now. Dwelling on there and then is less important.

These days I have more financial abundance flowing through my life. But what I treasure most was losing my fear of being broke. I learned to be rich when I didn't have much. And so I don't fear going broke again. It wouldn't be a failure or a shameful thing. It would just be more fun and adventure.

Some people say, "I've been broke and I've been rich. Rich is better."

Screw that! Rich isn't better. It's just different. You're not really rich at all if you think that way. Squeeze the richness out of each moment. If you're really rich, you'll remain rich no matter how much money you have. So reinterpret that previous expression as being about mindset (broke vs. rich), not about resources.

Again, stop being a boring broke person. Why on earth would you expect people to lavish opportunities on you if you're constantly being boring?

I love connecting with broke people, but not the boring ones… not the ones who drown in self pity… not the ones who constantly stress over what might go wrong next.

Let stuff go wrong, and laugh at it.

So you got a late fee. So you couldn't afford your rent. So your car keeps breaking down. In the grand scheme of life, does any of that matter? Is it really something to fret over? Other people are working on how to send humans to Mars, and you're stressing out about your rent? Seriously… get some perspective. You could be helping us invent more Star Trek stuff instead.

Be a fun broke person.

Laugh more, especially at your problems.

Read.

Get some exercise.

Smile.

Hug people.

And definitely have more sex. Trust me on that one.

Screw that! Rich isn't better. It's just different. You're not really rich at all if you think that way. Squeeze the richness out of each moment. If you're really rich, you'll remain rich no matter how much money you have. So reinterpret that previous expression as being about mindset (broke vs. rich), not about resources.

Again, stop being a boring broke person. Why on earth would you expect people to lavish opportunities on you if you're constantly being boring?

I love connecting with broke people, but not the boring ones… not the ones who drown in self pity… not the ones who constantly stress over what might go wrong next.

Let stuff go wrong, and laugh at it.

So you got a late fee. So you couldn't afford your rent. So your car keeps breaking down. In the grand scheme of life, does any of that matter? Is it really something to fret over? Other people are working on how to send humans to Mars, and you're stressing out about your rent? Seriously… get some perspective. You could be helping us invent more Star Trek stuff instead.

Be a fun broke person.

Laugh more, especially at your problems.

Read.

Get some exercise.

Smile.

Hug people.

And definitely have more sex. Trust me on that one.

How to Manifest Money

By Steve Pavlina
The most important aspect of manifesting money is to approach it from the right heartset. Think of your heartset as the overall vibe of your relationship to the activity of attracting money. How would you describe that relationship? Is it greedy, needy, excited, hopeful, etc?

If you approach this process from a place of neediness, clinginess, scarcity, or too much seriousness, you'll most likely fail. That's the right vibe for attracting nothing — or for making things worse by attracting unwanted expenses — but it's not the right vibe for attracting money.

So if you come at this from a place of saying, "I really need $1000 to pay my rent next month, so I'm going to focus hard on manifesting it via the Law of Attraction," well… good luck with that. But I'd bet against you.

A slightly better vibe is that of hope, but this is still a pretty weak vibe. Hope won't get you very far.

A much better vibe is to come from a place of curiosity and experimentation. Go into a state of childlike wonder. With this vibe you may begin to generate some interesting results.

An even stronger vibe is to generate feelings of playfulness and excitement. This is a great vibe for manifesting money.

A much better vibe is to come from a place of curiosity and experimentation. Go into a state of childlike wonder. With this vibe you may begin to generate some interesting results.

An even stronger vibe is to generate feelings of playfulness and excitement. This is a great vibe for manifesting money. In the next section, I'll share a story to illustrate how I do this with my daughter.
Knowing

When you want to manifest money, it's important to know that it's already there. If it's hidden at all, it's hiding in plain sight, waiting for you to notice it and pick it up. This applies whether we're talking about cash found on the ground or opportunities that will generate cash.

Know that the cash and the opportunities are right in front of your face. You just have to adjust your "eyes" to see them. You do this by shifting your vibe — your frequencies of thought and emotion — to one that's capable of detecting the money.

It's fun to think of this vibe-shifting process as shifting dimensions, as if you're tuning in to a different perceptual frequency spectrum. That other reality was there all along. You just couldn't see it before because you were tuned in to incompatible perceptual frequencies, frequencies that made the money invisible and undetectable by your senses. Maybe you were stuck on the red part of the spectrum, while the money was hanging out in the blue part.

Obviously your senses pick up a lot as you go about your day, but you only notice a puny fraction of all that input. In order to manifest money, you need to tune your senses to bring to your attention useful input that you've been subconsciously dismissing as irrelevant background noise. This tuning process takes some time, but you can definitely do it.

Lately I've been teaching my daughter Emily (age 10) how to manifest coins. I do this by turning it into a game. When we're out walking together, I challenge her to see if she can find more coins than I can.

The first time I did this, she was really bad at it. I found several coins during our walk together, often coins that she walked right past without even noticing. Instead of finding coins, she didn't notice anything. The coins didn't register within her perceptual reality.

Later on she began noticing things that were close to coins, but not coins. She found bottle caps, paper clips, scraps of paper, and coin-like smudges on the floor — everything but coins. I kept pointing out to her that there are coins everywhere, but you have to tune in to the "coin abundance frequency" to see them. Each time I found a coin and showed it to her, I could tell it was gradually helping her tune in to the right perceptual frequency.

One reason she was bad at this game was that she was tuning out the possible existence of coins everywhere she walked. She just didn't think there could be that many coins hiding in plain sight. By demonstrating to her that the coins were indeed there and that she was simply failing to notice them, I helped shift her beliefs. She stopped thinking of the game as something outside her control (relying on luck or chance), and she began thinking of what she could control (her open-mindedness and attentiveness).

At first when she would walk past a coin, and I'd pick it up and say, "Look at this, Emily. There was a nickel there, and you walked right past it! Your eyes definitely saw it because you were looking in that direction, but the coin didn't register in your mind. You still need to adjust yourself to the right vibe. Remember — the coins are everywhere! You just have to command your eyes to notice them."

Initially this surprised her. She could dismiss it as luck… or as some kind of trick… or as a momentary lapse of her part. Then when it kept happening, it began to frustrate her. I helped her shift that frustration to amusement by pointing out that she was really good at finding bottle caps and smudges, and we had some laughs about that. She just needed to adjust her mind a little bit more to notice the coins.
Finally she began to accept that yes, there really are coins everywhere, and she only has to notice them. It seemed like she was beginning to tell her eyes and her mind to get with the program and start noticing the coins.

Emily has a competitive side, so I played to that by challenging her to find more coins than me, which boosted her motivation and desire to get good at it. She knows that technically it's a fair game, and she even gave herself an advantage by walking in front of me, so she could be the first to spot new coins. And since she's only 4'9" inches tall, she's a lot closer to the ground than I am.

Gradually she got better at the game. We went out yesterday and played again. In an hour of walking around some hotels on the Vegas Strip, she found 46 cents: 1 quarter, 3 nickels, and 6 pennies. In that same time, I found only 6 cents. She won the game for the first time and was pretty excited about it. And of course I gave her lots of accolades for it, so as to encourage her to keep improving.

I dare say she's probably better at finding coins than I am now. She now knows there are coins everywhere, but she also really gets into the playful and competitive spirit of the game, which is much more exciting for her than it is for me. I think partly she likes knowing that it's a fair game that either of us can win, and there's no reason she can't be at least as skillful as I am.

When it comes to creating a vibe of playfulness and excitement, children can easily be more masterful than adults. This is the same vibe we need to recreate as adults in order to manifest whatever we desire.

It may sound silly to do this as an adult, but it's a game worth playing. When you're out with friends sometime, have a contest to see who can manifest the most money. You may not get too excited about finding coins, but you may generate some excitement about trying to best your friends in a silly contest. That silliness will actually help you get the right vibe, thereby improving your ability to manifest money.
Detachment

People often get confused about the relationship between desire and detachment. Aren't they diametrically opposed? How can you have both at the same time? Isn't desire a form of attachment?

No, these aren't in conflict. They coexist perfectly.

Let me explain.

Desire is about what you wish to create. You could describe this vibe as passion, excitement, or even lust. It's a delicious pool of emotions you summon by focusing on a new target. The stronger your desire, the better, so amp it up!

Detachment, on the other hand, is about how those desires ultimately manifest for you. When you become too attached to when and how your desires show up, you screw up the manifesting process. Instead of holding the vibe of playfulness and abundance, you start sending out signals like concern, worry, and stress. Don't do that!

Would you become stressed and worried if you couldn't find enough coins on the ground? Would that vibe improve your performance? No, that would only lower your performance.

When you notice that you're getting frustrated, pause, breathe, and go back to the desire side. Hold that vision of the creation you wish to experience, and wallow in the positive sensations of being there in your heart, mind, and spirit. Know that physical reality will soon catch up, as long as you keep holding the right vibe.

When you feel moved to take action from a place of passion and excitement, not stress, then go ahead and let those actions flow through you. It will seem to be more work to stop yourself — you'll feel like you're chickening out and holding back if you stay still. Follow your impulses. But don't worry about the immediate results of those actions. There may be some twists and turns along the way.
Power

When manifesting money, it's especially important that you don't give your power away to money. This negates your creative ability, and the money probably won't arrive if you do that. This is a VERY common mistake.

You can't effectively wield the power of manifestation by believing that you can manifest something you desire (i.e. money) while simultaneously believing that something you desire has power over you (i.e. money).

If you want to manifest money, you CANNOT believe that money is a power source. Money cannot give you wealth or abundance or happiness. It really can't give you anything. Money just sits there — all the power comes from you. If you believe that having more money will give you any additional power at all, then you're actually holding the vibe that says, "I'm too weak to attract money." You'll have to get a jobinstead.

Think of it like this. If you want to manifest money, but you believe that money is its own power source, then deep down you're giving money the power to say no to you. If money has power, then it can refuse to show up.

Instead of this crazy wrong approach, in your mindset and heartset, you must KNOW that you're completely 100% dominant over money and that money is completely 100% submissive to you. You're in total command of it. If you order it to show up, it must obey you. It has no power of its own. It cannot refuse you.

When you manifest money, you are COMMANDING it to come into your reality. You're the CREATOR. Money has no choice but to obey you, but only if you wield your true power. If you give your power away to money, then you empower money to deny your requests. Money will say, "Well, if you're letting me decide, then no, I'm staying over here."

If you approach money like a power source of its own, then by trying to manifest it, you're really trying to overpower it, and in such a contest you'll usually lose. That contest, however, is completely internal — and pretty much insane. It's like trying to arm wrestle yourself. How can you win? It's a false reality you're projecting because you aren't ready to fully wield your own power yet.

Remember that money is nothing but a number. Or it's pieces of metal and paper. How could it possibly be more powerful than a conscious human being such as yourself?

If you think that once you have money, you will become stronger, you're crazy. Absolutely deluded! More likely — if you actually did manifest money from that kind of vibe — you'd grow even weaker. This would be a bad outcome for you, even though it seems like what you want. You'd be a weak-minded, weak-hearted person with more money, and you'd still see the money as more powerful than you, even while it's in your possession. You'd then become attached to it and afraid of losing it because you'd still mistakenly see it as a power source. It would become a source of security for you, a constantly vulnerable one. The more money you had, the more paranoid you'd become about losing it. This would really mess you up big time. So be very, very glad that you naturally attract less money when you think of money as a power source. If you invite money into your life from that crazy frame of giving away your power, then money will become your Master, and you will be forever its slave. Don't even go there!

If money has no power, then why manifest it at all? In truth, you don't need to. But if you wish to manifest money, then do it as a game. Money is a just toy you can play with. Get excited about the experience of manifesting money, but don't put any attention into what you'd do with the money once you have it. It's merely a number.

If you desire something you think money will give you, then focus on that desire directly, not on the money you think you need to get it. Money may or may not be part of the manifestation process.

Only focus on manifesting money directly if you're capable of seeing the money as a plaything, like a video game score. It's only something to manifest for fun, not something to get all worked up and stressed about.

Once again, do NOT give your power away to money. You must know that money is completely powerless. All the power is within you, never out there.
Upgrading

When manifesting money, start small and work up to larger amounts. See it as a score you're aiming to increase, but don't put larger amounts on a pedestal by assuming they're more difficult to manifest.

I started with manifesting pennies in the Summer of 2006. Then I graduated to nickels, dimes, and quarters. I focused on quarters for several weeks. Then I progressed to dollars to $100 to $1000 to $10K to $50K. Overall it took less than a year to go from manifesting pennies to manifesting $50K. After that point I become more interested in non-monetary manifesting and had some especially fun times with manifesting in my social life — friends, mentors, and other yumminess. In fact, I honestly feel that manifesting money is a bit boring compared to all the other cool stuff you can manifest. It's like playing a video game and obsessing over the score. That can be fun for a while, but eventually you want to focus on more interesting aspects of the game world.

If you can get good at manifesting coins, you can manifest larger sums too. The process is the same. Only some limiting beliefs of yours may stand in the way. But as you gradually upgrade to larger sums, you can collapse those false beliefs.
Once Emily gets good at manifesting coins and feels comfortable and confident with it, I'll start challenging her to manifest larger sums. She may not find money on the ground as often, but it will show up in other ways.

Money comes to you through the filters of your beliefs, but you don't have to change your beliefs radically. You just have to open enough of a portal in your beliefs to allow different sums to come to you.

Coins may be found on the ground while you're walking around. Bills will sometimes be found on the ground too. Larger sums may manifest in the form of exchanges, business deals, inheritances, inspired action, and other ways. Assume that those larger sums are right in front of your face, staring at you and screaming at you to notice them. You just have to tune your vibe to the right frequency to pick them up.

I've noticed that as I've shifted my vibe to manifest larger sums of money and to manifest new experiences in other parts of my life, I seem to fall out of resonance with manifesting smaller sums. I'm not as good at manifesting coins as I was in 2006. That's because my vibe isn't tuned in to the coin manifesting frequency as much. These days I'm spending more time using the LoA to manifest cool social connections and travel experiences. I've tuned my vibe to focus on that part of the perceptual frequency. I also feel more excited and playful about manifesting in these other areas as opposed to adding to my financial score.
Congruency

Every relationship in your life contributes to the overall vibe you're putting out. This includes all the different ways you relate to money.

For example, if your job sucks and doesn't pay you very well, and you try to manifest money on the side, that probably won't work so well because each time you go to work at your job, you risk re-triggering the vibe of feeling financially under-appreciated.

This is where lots of people get stuck with the LoA. They put out conflicting vibes every day. They may visualize having more money and feeling abundant and grateful, but then they go to the grocery store, and they buy cheap, low quality food because in the back of their mind, they're saying to themselves that they can't afford the good stuff. And that naturally cancels out the vibe of abundance, so the result is no change.

If your current circumstances cause you to emit conflicting vibes, then even as you go through the motions of acting in accordance with a scarcer financial situation than you'd like, keep your vibe focused on that of abundance. The best way to do that is by holding the heartset of gratitude. So even if you buy cheap, low-quality food, hold the vibe that you're grateful for it and that you appreciate it. Feel appreciative that such food exists and that it's within your budget. And then look at the high quality stuff, and emotionally invite it into your life. If possible, find one way in which you can splurge for higher quality items, like buying a few organic apples, and feel grateful that you can do that. And when you eat those apples, really enjoy them, and intend to receive more of the same.

But do NOT beat yourself up for not being able to afford what you desire. That will only lower your vibe.

Do like I did with Emily when she kept finding bottle caps and smudges. Praise yourself for succeeding at what you're already manifesting, and then command your senses to adjust to a more abundant part of the spectrum of reality. Be patient with yourself — you'll get it.

Whenever you start feeling bad about your financial situation, see that as a form of feedback. Let it become an immediate trigger to refocus on your desires. Say to yourself, "Okay, obviously I don't want this. So what do I want instead?" Then think about happier alternatives; allow your mind to go there, and let the resulting new vibe flow through you.

Manifesting money is a fun challenge. It's definitely doable if you approach it from a place of playfulness, knowing, and power. It does involve some discipline, but the discipline is mental and emotional, not physical.

You aren't going to let a 10-year old girl kick your ass at this game, are you?

If you approach this process from a place of neediness, clinginess, scarcity, or too much seriousness, you'll most likely fail. That's the right vibe for attracting nothing — or for making things worse by attracting unwanted expenses — but it's not the right vibe for attracting money.

So if you come at this from a place of saying, "I really need $1000 to pay my rent next month, so I'm going to focus hard on manifesting it via the Law of Attraction," well… good luck with that. But I'd bet against you.

A slightly better vibe is that of hope, but this is still a pretty weak vibe. Hope won't get you very far.

A much better vibe is to come from a place of curiosity and experimentation. Go into a state of childlike wonder. With this vibe you may begin to generate some interesting results.

An even stronger vibe is to generate feelings of playfulness and excitement. This is a great vibe for manifesting money.

Only focus on manifesting money directly if you're capable of seeing the money as a plaything, like a video game score. It's only something to manifest for fun, not something to get all worked up and stressed about.

Once again, do NOT give your power away to money. You must know that money is completely powerless. All the power is within you, never out there.
Upgrading

When manifesting money, start small and work up to larger amounts. See it as a score you're aiming to increase, but don't put larger amounts on a pedestal by assuming they're more difficult to manifest.

I started with manifesting pennies in the Summer of 2006. Then I graduated to nickels, dimes, and quarters. I focused on quarters for several weeks. Then I progressed to dollars to $100 to $1000 to $10K to $50K. Overall it took less than a year to go from manifesting pennies to manifesting $50K. After that point I become more interested in non-monetary manifesting and had some especially fun times with manifesting in my social life — friends, mentors, and other yumminess. In fact, I honestly feel that manifesting money is a bit boring compared to all the other cool stuff you can manifest. It's like playing a video game and obsessing over the score. That can be fun for a while, but eventually you want to focus on more interesting aspects of the game world.

If you can get good at manifesting coins, you can manifest larger sums too. The process is the same. Only some limiting beliefs of yours may stand in the way. But as you gradually upgrade to larger sums, you can collapse those false beliefs.
Once Emily gets good at manifesting coins and feels comfortable and confident with it, I'll start challenging her to manifest larger sums. She may not find money on the ground as often, but it will show up in other ways.

Money comes to you through the filters of your beliefs, but you don't have to change your beliefs radically. You just have to open enough of a portal in your beliefs to allow different sums to come to you.

Coins may be found on the ground while you're walking around. Bills will sometimes be found on the ground too. Larger sums may manifest in the form of exchanges, business deals, inheritances, inspired action, and other ways. Assume that those larger sums are right in front of your face, staring at you and screaming at you to notice them. You just have to tune your vibe to the right frequency to pick them up.

I've noticed that as I've shifted my vibe to manifest larger sums of money and to manifest new experiences in other parts of my life, I seem to fall out of resonance with manifesting smaller sums. I'm not as good at manifesting coins as I was in 2006. That's because my vibe isn't tuned in to the coin manifesting frequency as much. These days I'm spending more time using the LoA to manifest cool social connections and travel experiences. I've tuned my vibe to focus on that part of the perceptual frequency. I also feel more excited and playful about manifesting in these other areas as opposed to adding to my financial score.
Congruency

Every relationship in your life contributes to the overall vibe you're putting out. This includes all the different ways you relate to money.

For example, if your job sucks and doesn't pay you very well, and you try to manifest money on the side, that probably won't work so well because each time you go to work at your job, you risk re-triggering the vibe of feeling financially under-appreciated.

This is where lots of people get stuck with the LoA. They put out conflicting vibes every day. They may visualize having more money and feeling abundant and grateful, but then they go to the grocery store, and they buy cheap, low quality food because in the back of their mind, they're saying to themselves that they can't afford the good stuff. And that naturally cancels out the vibe of abundance, so the result is no change.

If your current circumstances cause you to emit conflicting vibes, then even as you go through the motions of acting in accordance with a scarcer financial situation than you'd like, keep your vibe focused on that of abundance. The best way to do that is by holding the heartset of gratitude. So even if you buy cheap, low-quality food, hold the vibe that you're grateful for it and that you appreciate it. Feel appreciative that such food exists and that it's within your budget. And then look at the high quality stuff, and emotionally invite it into your life. If possible, find one way in which you can splurge for higher quality items, like buying a few organic apples, and feel grateful that you can do that. And when you eat those apples, really enjoy them, and intend to receive more of the same.

But do NOT beat yourself up for not being able to afford what you desire. That will only lower your vibe.

Do like I did with Emily when she kept finding bottle caps and smudges. Praise yourself for succeeding at what you're already manifesting, and then command your senses to adjust to a more abundant part of the spectrum of reality. Be patient with yourself — you'll get it.

Whenever you start feeling bad about your financial situation, see that as a form of feedback. Let it become an immediate trigger to refocus on your desires. Say to yourself, "Okay, obviously I don't want this. So what do I want instead?" Then think about happier alternatives; allow your mind to go there, and let the resulting new vibe flow through you.

Manifesting money is a fun challenge. It's definitely doable if you approach it from a place of playfulness, knowing, and power. It does involve some discipline, but the discipline is mental and emotional, not physical.

You aren't going to let a 10-year old girl kick your ass at this game, are you?

How to Manifest Money

How to Manifest Money

By Steve Pavlina
The most important aspect of manifesting money is to approach it from the right heartset. Think of your heartset as the overall vibe of your relationship to the activity of attracting money. How would you describe that relationship? Is it greedy, needy, excited, hopeful, etc?

If you approach this process from a place of neediness, clinginess, scarcity, or too much seriousness, you'll most likely fail. That's the right vibe for attracting nothing — or for making things worse by attracting unwanted expenses — but it's not the right vibe for attracting money.

So if you come at this from a place of saying, "I really need $1000 to pay my rent next month, so I'm going to focus hard on manifesting it via the Law of Attraction," well… good luck with that. But I'd bet against you.

A slightly better vibe is that of hope, but this is still a pretty weak vibe. Hope won't get you very far.

A much better vibe is to come from a place of curiosity and experimentation. Go into a state of childlike wonder. With this vibe you may begin to generate some interesting results.

An even stronger vibe is to generate feelings of playfulness and excitement. This is a great vibe for manifesting money.

An even stronger vibe is to generate feelings of playfulness and excitement. This is a great vibe for manifesting money. In the next section, I'll share a story to illustrate how I do this with my daughter.
Knowing

When you want to manifest money, it's important to know that it's already there. If it's hidden at all, it's hiding in plain sight, waiting for you to notice it and pick it up. This applies whether we're talking about cash found on the ground or opportunities that will generate cash.

Know that the cash and the opportunities are right in front of your face. You just have to adjust your "eyes" to see them. You do this by shifting your vibe — your frequencies of thought and emotion — to one that's capable of detecting the money.

It's fun to think of this vibe-shifting process as shifting dimensions, as if you're tuning in to a different perceptual frequency spectrum. That other reality was there all along. You just couldn't see it before because you were tuned in to incompatible perceptual frequencies, frequencies that made the money invisible and undetectable by your senses. Maybe you were stuck on the red part of the spectrum, while the money was hanging out in the blue part.

Obviously your senses pick up a lot as you go about your day, but you only notice a puny fraction of all that input. In order to manifest money, you need to tune your senses to bring to your attention useful input that you've been subconsciously dismissing as irrelevant background noise. This tuning process takes some time, but you can definitely do it.

Lately I've been teaching my daughter Emily (age 10) how to manifest coins. I do this by turning it into a game. When we're out walking together, I challenge her to see if she can find more coins than I can.

The first time I did this, she was really bad at it. I found several coins during our walk together, often coins that she walked right past without even noticing. Instead of finding coins, she didn't notice anything. The coins didn't register within her perceptual reality.

Later on she began noticing things that were close to coins, but not coins. She found bottle caps, paper clips, scraps of paper, and coin-like smudges on the floor — everything but coins. I kept pointing out to her that there are coins everywhere, but you have to tune in to the "coin abundance frequency" to see them. Each time I found a coin and showed it to her, I could tell it was gradually helping her tune in to the right perceptual frequency.

One reason she was bad at this game was that she was tuning out the possible existence of coins everywhere she walked. She just didn't think there could be that many coins hiding in plain sight. By demonstrating to her that the coins were indeed there and that she was simply failing to notice them, I helped shift her beliefs. She stopped thinking of the game as something outside her control (relying on luck or chance), and she began thinking of what she could control (her open-mindedness and attentiveness).

At first when she would walk past a coin, and I'd pick it up and say, "Look at this, Emily. There was a nickel there, and you walked right past it! Your eyes definitely saw it because you were looking in that direction, but the coin didn't register in your mind. You still need to adjust yourself to the right vibe. Remember — the coins are everywhere! You just have to command your eyes to notice them."

Initially this surprised her. She could dismiss it as luck… or as some kind of trick… or as a momentary lapse of her part. Then when it kept happening, it began to frustrate her. I helped her shift that frustration to amusement by pointing out that she was really good at finding bottle caps and smudges, and we had some laughs about that. She just needed to adjust her mind a little bit more to notice the coins.
Finally she began to accept that yes, there really are coins everywhere, and she only has to notice them. It seemed like she was beginning to tell her eyes and her mind to get with the program and start noticing the coins.

Emily has a competitive side, so I played to that by challenging her to find more coins than me, which boosted her motivation and desire to get good at it. She knows that technically it's a fair game, and she even gave herself an advantage by walking in front of me, so she could be the first to spot new coins. And since she's only 4'9" inches tall, she's a lot closer to the ground than I am.

Gradually she got better at the game. We went out yesterday and played again. In an hour of walking around some hotels on the Vegas Strip, she found 46 cents: 1 quarter, 3 nickels, and 6 pennies. In that same time, I found only 6 cents. She won the game for the first time and was pretty excited about it. And of course I gave her lots of accolades for it, so as to encourage her to keep improving.

I dare say she's probably better at finding coins than I am now. She now knows there are coins everywhere, but she also really gets into the playful and competitive spirit of the game, which is much more exciting for her than it is for me. I think partly she likes knowing that it's a fair game that either of us can win, and there's no reason she can't be at least as skillful as I am.

When it comes to creating a vibe of playfulness and excitement, children can easily be more masterful than adults. This is the same vibe we need to recreate as adults in order to manifest whatever we desire.

It may sound silly to do this as an adult, but it's a game worth playing. When you're out with friends sometime, have a contest to see who can manifest the most money. You may not get too excited about finding coins, but you may generate some excitement about trying to best your friends in a silly contest. That silliness will actually help you get the right vibe, thereby improving your ability to manifest money.
Detachment

People often get confused about the relationship between desire and detachment. Aren't they diametrically opposed? How can you have both at the same time? Isn't desire a form of attachment?

No, these aren't in conflict. They coexist perfectly.

Let me explain.

Desire is about what you wish to create. You could describe this vibe as passion, excitement, or even lust. It's a delicious pool of emotions you summon by focusing on a new target. The stronger your desire, the better, so amp it up!

Detachment, on the other hand, is about how those desires ultimately manifest for you. When you become too attached to when and how your desires show up, you screw up the manifesting process. Instead of holding the vibe of playfulness and abundance, you start sending out signals like concern, worry, and stress. Don't do that!

Would you become stressed and worried if you couldn't find enough coins on the ground? Would that vibe improve your performance? No, that would only lower your performance.

When you notice that you're getting frustrated, pause, breathe, and go back to the desire side. Hold that vision of the creation you wish to experience, and wallow in the positive sensations of being there in your heart, mind, and spirit. Know that physical reality will soon catch up, as long as you keep holding the right vibe.

When you feel moved to take action from a place of passion and excitement, not stress, then go ahead and let those actions flow through you. It will seem to be more work to stop yourself — you'll feel like you're chickening out and holding back if you stay still. Follow your impulses. But don't worry about the immediate results of those actions. There may be some twists and turns along the way.
Power

When manifesting money, it's especially important that you don't give your power away to money. This negates your creative ability, and the money probably won't arrive if you do that. This is a VERY common mistake.

You can't effectively wield the power of manifestation by believing that you can manifest something you desire (i.e. money) while simultaneously believing that something you desire has power over you (i.e. money).

If you want to manifest money, you CANNOT believe that money is a power source. Money cannot give you wealth or abundance or happiness. It really can't give you anything. Money just sits there — all the power comes from you. If you believe that having more money will give you any additional power at all, then you're actually holding the vibe that says, "I'm too weak to attract money." You'll have to get a jobinstead.

Think of it like this. If you want to manifest money, but you believe that money is its own power source, then deep down you're giving money the power to say no to you. If money has power, then it can refuse to show up.

Instead of this crazy wrong approach, in your mindset and heartset, you must KNOW that you're completely 100% dominant over money and that money is completely 100% submissive to you. You're in total command of it. If you order it to show up, it must obey you. It has no power of its own. It cannot refuse you.

When you manifest money, you are COMMANDING it to come into your reality. You're the CREATOR. Money has no choice but to obey you, but only if you wield your true power. If you give your power away to money, then you empower money to deny your requests. Money will say, "Well, if you're letting me decide, then no, I'm staying over here."

If you approach money like a power source of its own, then by trying to manifest it, you're really trying to overpower it, and in such a contest you'll usually lose. That contest, however, is completely internal — and pretty much insane. It's like trying to arm wrestle yourself. How can you win? It's a false reality you're projecting because you aren't ready to fully wield your own power yet.

Remember that money is nothing but a number. Or it's pieces of metal and paper. How could it possibly be more powerful than a conscious human being such as yourself?

If you think that once you have money, you will become stronger, you're crazy. Absolutely deluded! More likely — if you actually did manifest money from that kind of vibe — you'd grow even weaker. This would be a bad outcome for you, even though it seems like what you want. You'd be a weak-minded, weak-hearted person with more money, and you'd still see the money as more powerful than you, even while it's in your possession. You'd then become attached to it and afraid of losing it because you'd still mistakenly see it as a power source. It would become a source of security for you, a constantly vulnerable one. The more money you had, the more paranoid you'd become about losing it. This would really mess you up big time. So be very, very glad that you naturally attract less money when you think of money as a power source. If you invite money into your life from that crazy frame of giving away your power, then money will become your Master, and you will be forever its slave. Don't even go there!

If money has no power, then why manifest it at all? In truth, you don't need to. But if you wish to manifest money, then do it as a game. Money is a just toy you can play with. Get excited about the experience of manifesting money, but don't put any attention into what you'd do with the money once you have it. It's merely a number.

If you desire something you think money will give you, then focus on that desire directly, not on the money you think you need to get it. Money may or may not be part of the manifestation process.

Only focus on manifesting money directly if you're capable of seeing the money as a plaything, like a video game score. It's only something to manifest for fun, not something to get all worked up and stressed about.

Once again, do NOT give your power away to money. You must know that money is completely powerless. All the power is within you, never out there.
