Manifestation Check-in Group--Ready to get started...?

[bliss_eternal]

Hi All,

A few of you stated on the manifestation thread that you would be interested in having a manifestation check in. So, I thought I would post this and see where we all are in terms of starting personal manifestation work.

When would you guys like to start our personal manifestation work individually? Once we decide this, we can all check in here once we've written our lists, created our collages, or however you choose to do this. Individually, we should be looking at our collages, pictures or lists daily and meditating on what's contained in them that we would like to manifest in our lives.

As we start to manifest aspects of our desires we can share here...

So, when would you guys like to get started? :hi: I'm really looking forward to making some changes in my life! Having support to do so would be wonderful! :)

p.s. In most of the books I've read about this, one should keep what they hope to manifest to themselves. You only share what the desire is/was when it is actually realized. If anyone has conflicting knowledge of this, please share!

Thanks!

1. In reference to whetber a person should keep what they want to...

manifest to themselves, I also have read this. If I remember correctly, it's because other people's opinions about the entire concept can interfere with the manifestation process. (For example, if you've always wanted to get a college degree, if you share this and someone else believes that you're not intelligent enough to graduate from college or some other reason why you shouldn't graduate, this belief makes your manifestation of this more difficult than if the person didn't think about it.)

2. Well, for the record, I think the manifestation idea is really cool, so

I have decided to try it in order to locate a new job in a specific field. I will keep the details to myself, as suggested by I Have A Dream, just in case that gives me a better shot at accepting the potential manifestation into my life. I will post an update if anything happens.

7. Good luck with that

I'm still working on my manifestation which is my perfect man. :blush:

[I Have A Dream]

3. I want to manifest spiritual growth into my life.

I realize that I must do the work -- there's no way around that. However, the manifestation technique might make it happen with less resistance.

I haven't yet made my list, so I'll start working on it. Thanks for the push from this thread! (I'm such a procrastinator.)

I really don't have a problem posting what I want to manifest here because I know that the people in this group will be rooting for each other. However, I'll probably not mention it to many people in real life so that their energy doesn't impact what I'm trying to do.

Again, thanks for starting this thread, bliss_eternal! :)

[I Have A Dream]

16. I have begun my list. This is going to be difficult to rate in order...

of importance though.

[NJCher]

4. I'll be joining, too

I haven't yet decided what I want to manifest but I've been thinking about it.

5. Happy to have you, Cher!

12. Hi Cher,

This is what's hard for me - knowing what to manifest. It seems, in so many ways, that my life has to be open to all kinds of twists and turns that I can't make plans - I just have to roll with the waves.

I do believe I've manifested jobs in the past, even a lover at one time, but now have no clue - like if I tried to describe it, I'd limit the possibilities of what my "soul or higher self" might have in store. Does that make sense?

[NJCher]

23. Does it ever! (make sense)

Because it seems like whatever the universe designs is so much more clever than what we ourselves can think up. However, I happen to think manifesting takes that into account and gives you one up or better than what you can even imagine.

That has happened in two of the cases I'm thinking of.




Cher

[Delphinus]

26. OK!

Than I shall dream new dreams and see what I want to bring into my life! I'm glad you understood! :hi:

[bliss_eternal]

6. I'll be making my list today/tonight

and possibly creating a collage or clipping some pics to go along with my list. I should be able to start tomorrow (Sunday)...

I'm pushing myself as I'm awful about procrastinating.

8. Coming out of lurking...

Hi Everyone! I've been lurking here for quite some time and this thread has gotten me off my behind to post.

I've been trying to work toward manifestation for a while now and I always end up self-sabotaging myself before I even begin. I find that I have zero willpower especially when I am stressed out. Anyway, I think this sounds like a great idea...a little encouragement and support to help the manifestation along.

I've tried to manifest smaller things and find that sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. But it's the big things I would like to focus on now. Stuff that might require a long time commitment. (Weight loss, finding love, etc.) I've read a few books on the subject and fully believe in it, but I would like to know what plan of attack are you all going to use?

Looking forward to it!! :)

[Idylle Moon Dancer]

9. Welcome aboard!

"self-sabotage" I've been guilty of that too often, in many ways. I believe I may have, long ago, manifested in myself an adverse physical condition by over-dwelling on the possibility, and subsequently manifested an alleviation through intentional and physical exercise.

I have some things I'd like to work on now, but haven't decided how I want to go about it yet.

[Delphinus]

13. Wow!

How cool - you've been here almost a year and you blessed us with your first post! Thank you and welcome! You'll find this is a great group of loving, caring people.

[I Have A Dream]

14. Welcome, mrl821! So glad to have you jump into such an active...

project in the group. It should be great fun!

:hi:

[rumpel]

10. I missed the other thread, but read it. Please count me in.

:)

I learn so much from everyone here I am really grateful.

[cassiepriam]

11. My .02

Whenever everyone else wants to start is fine with me.
Do we want to give everyone time to get their lists and or collages etc ready?

A couple of ideas I have:

First, I think people should keep the lists simple, do not try to manifest too much at one time. This is important for a lot of reasons.

Second, the prayer research is really interesting. Done by physicians (Dossey et al) there is an indication that the most effective prayers are ones in which we do not ask for specific things, but just ask to be aligned with divine purpose and God’s will etc. When I work on manifestation I do BOTH, general and specific. I ask for God’s will to be done and then ask for the specific. I also ask that any blockages be released such as old vows of poverty or celibacy from past lives etc depending on what I am trying to manifest. I try to cover all bases!

Third, I think the keeping it to yourself is totally optional, it all depends upon what you want to manifest and personal preference. Some of us are more private than others and that is fine. But we incarnated in bodies on the earth plane to evolve our souls and we need to manifest in connection to the earthly environment, or we could have just stayed in spirit form. We cannot separate soul and body work if that makes sense. I think when we are working on something we should throw the seeds out to the universe and see what comes up. That said some manifestations are totally private and should be kept quiet.

For example one of you wants to find a man. That for sure needs to go out the universe. Let everyone you know that you are looking for a boyfriend; get your friends and family you trust keeping their eyes open for you etc. Identify what kind of man you want, then go where those kinds of men hang out. God helps those who help themselves. Make it your project for the year. That in one year you want a partner. God most likely will not land a man on your doorstep, you have to go find him. You may to have to meet God half way on this one. And that is true of other manifestations as well.

[I Have A Dream]

15. I agree with what you've said, cassiepriam.

Here's a previous post about how I actually ended up meeting my husband (who is the man that I manifested using the list technique):

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=245&topic_id=14720&mesg_id=14748

The Universe showed me that I also had to do my part, just as you said! :)

[cassiepriam]

22. That is so neat. You were waiting to do your work together in this life

[FreedomAngel82]

17. Right

It's me. :blush: I'm asking my love guide to help me too with my project. I think they're pushing me towards someone at my church but I'm not sure yet since I don't really know the guy. :blush: Does anybody sense if they are? I've also lately been having this strong feeling to Email the guy friend I have mentioned here before but I don't know if I should or not. I can feel my guardian (who is also my soul mate) telling me not to but another guide is encouraging me to so it's really confusing. :crazy:

[cassiepriam]

21. You will never know until you go out with him

Get to know him and find out if he is the man for you.
My spirit guides never do my work for me. :)

What do you have to lose?? Go for it.
Send him the email. Throw a hook in the water and see if you get a nibble.

Tell us what happens..........

[oxbow]

18. I want to do it but I have a question:

What I want is to enjoy this phase of my life more, to have less worry and more pleasure in the little things. How detailed should I make my list? Do I write down exactly how I'm going to do all this, or how I think I will feel once I've accomplished this, or what?

[I Have A Dream]

19. Oxbow, given your artistic nature, a collage of what makes you happy...

or what you want to bring into your life might also work in addition to the list. bliss_eternal mentioned the collage concept in the manifestation thread.

I don't know how I personally would approach what you want through a list, but I'm sure that it's possible. However, if I had your goal in mind, I personally would go with the collage.

In reference to my list, I'm being extremely detailed realizing that I'm probably not going to get everything on the list, but the more details that I give in reference to what I want, the more information the Universe has. Here's what I wrote in the manifestation thread about the list method: (If you already saw this, sorry for reposting it. I just wasn't sure if you had seen this information.)

However, you'll also want to take cassiepriam's comments in an earlier post in this thread into account.

Good luck! My guess is that you'll be really good at manifesting.

[oxbow]

20. Sorry Dream, I can't make a collage right now

Artistically, I'm totally blocked up, and I think I'm supposed to be right now. I guess I'll just write how I think I'll feel when I achieve my goal, and meditate of that.

[cassiepriam]

29. Also ask for creativity in your manifestation work

Ask that any blocks to your higher creative self be removed.

[cassiepriam]

28. I would start with where I want to end up.

For example you want to manifest joy, contentment, calm.
I would write those kind of words down. And meditate on that... and ask that you be shown the way to do that.
Meditate and envision yourself in a calm joyful state.
Do it at least twice a day.
I love the heart chakra meditation. "I Have A Dream", one ofhe posters here can teach you how to do it!

24. Synchronicty

I thought I'd pass this along to whomever would like to read it. It just came to my in-box and I thought of this wonderful project.

What is INTENTION?

What does it take to manifest our true hearts desire and live according to our soul's purpose?

For the most part, the answer rests in the original meaning of intention: "the act of stretching out" or the "state of mind in which an act is done."

When we create, when we manifest, we are in a state of "intending". The words intention and attention emerged out of the same ancient root word and are similar in nature. We can't have one without the other. When we create, it is the focus of our attention and the power of our intention that makes it happen.

Through intention, we tend (pay attention) to the thoughts, feelings, action and form that relate to the ideas, wishes, dreams, desires and visions that we want to manifest.

25. This was indeed great synchronicity, OhioBlues!

This INTENTION concept made me think of something else. I'm going to post it in the regular thread body so that more people will be likely to see it.

Thanks for posting this!

[cassiepriam]

30. Thank you. This is interesting, let's post anything we find about

manifestation.

[I Have A Dream]

27. Intention, thought, word & deed

OhioBlues posted in this thread an article that she received about intention, which is relevant to what we're doing. As she said, it was great synchronicity.

It made me think of something told to me by the spirit guide who gave me the list technique that's discussed in the manifestation thread.

When manifesting something, there are four aspects:

• Intention
  
• Thought
  
• Word
  
• Deed

Intention forms the essence of what you want to manifest. Thought, word and deed are active energies that can help what you want to manifest actually manifest.

Thought would involve the actual concentration on a daily basis on what you want to manifest as well as imagining your life as it will be when you have manifested this thing into your life.

Word would involve your actual words on the page as well as actually talking about how your life will be when you have manifested this thing into your life. (If you want to keep the details of what you're trying to manifest to yourself, maybe just talk to yourself. I'm not sure about this.)

In addition to other things, deed is taking action to make this manifestation happen. As cassiepriam stated in an earlier post, it would be something like actually doing your part to make it easier for the Universe to manifest what you want. (If you want to manifest a mate, it will be getting yourself out into the world so that you meet people. If you want to become more spiritually enlightened, it is studying where you're led to study. If you want to find peace, it is taking active steps to bring peace into your life. If you want to manifest money, it is buying that one lottery ticket. (If you're supposed to win, it only requires that you buy one ticket.))

Adding these additional active energies to your manifestation process might help your desire to manifest more easily.

31. Tips, prayer questions

In addition to manifestation meditation, throughout the day I picture what I want, or feel it in an intuitive way. I picture it as if it has already happened.

Then I do meditations like we are talking about here.
Also I try to start each manifestation meditation with a prayer of some sort. Does anyone do that? And if so what kind?

I think it can be any prayer, but one that has meaning to you. Several Saints bless me with their presence and I pray to them. Just standard prayers that are special to me. From everything I have read it is the intention that is the most important part of a prayer not the actual words. It is the feeling and spirit behind it that has the strong value.

I think it might be nice idea when we actually start this that someone invoke a group prayer for all of us, that gets posted.
I will do it or maybe we can all post a special prayer on the day we offically start. I would love that.

Also the Hindus have nice manifestation type prayer openings.
Here is one:

To the Supreme God
To my spiritual teacher, to all the spiritual teachers,
To the holy angels and helpers,
And all the Great Ones,
I humbly invoke divine guidance
divine love, illumination, divine oneness
divine help, and divine protection,
I thank you in full faith.

This is from a Hindu pranic healing guide.
And to take a page from the Hindus in meditations I will often
put my hands together in the traditional prayer position
hands together, fingers pointing up. Do it in front of the heart chakra just touching the area with part of your hands.
Supposed to channel energy to and from heart chakra, the power house of the chakra system. At least it is for me.
