Is there something that you've always wanted but which has eluded you? Some of us excel in the accumulation of wealth, others of us know exactly how to create the relationships we want, and for others, everything seems to come to them simply.
When my wife and I were in the market for a new home, we created together what I call a 'vision board'. We gathered up some arts and crafts supplies--poster board, glue stick, some magazines, photos, etc. and we mapped out exactly what we wanted in a house. We wanted something over 4,000 square feet, not too far from the water, not far from the mountains, on some acreage, in the Pacific Northwest, and as a lark, my wife added something she had wanted since she was a little girl--a gazebo.
So what happened? Well, six months later our realtor brought us to this dream house, down to the gazebo, and we bought it.
I know, I know. . . it sounds nuts. I can even almost hear the collective negativity of the possibility that we could manifest our dream home with art supplies. My intention is not to change you from a cynic into a believer. . . I am only interested in passing on what has worked for me and what has worked for my students. You can take it or leave it. I hope you will at least suspend the cynicism for a moment and give this a try.
If you're with me so far, you're probably asking, 'How does this work?'
In an earlier post I spoke of befriending our other-than-conscious gentle giants-the great unconscious. And if you haven't read that article, please do so because there is some powerful information on how we can ask for help when we need it and get it.
This is key: what we think about and look at and concentrate on is what we attract to us. In contacting our gentle giant, we are asking for what we want in life.
This distinction is crucial: we must not ask for what we don't want, instead for what we do want. Asking for what you want from your gentle giant needs to be framed properly. 'I don't want any more financial problems' is going to bring financial problems. 'I don't want another bad relationship' brings more of that.
When we concentrate on what we want, instead of what we don't want, and doing this in a tactile way (i.e. creating something with our hands), we are able to more quickly set our intention and speed up our natural ability to manifest exactly what we want.
After you've finished your vision board, put it somewhere where you will see it for at least ten minutes a day. This could be the ceiling in your bedroom, the wall in your bathroom. . . anywhere where you spend time.
A creative thing one of my students did was scan his vision board and turn it into wallpaper on his computer. He's also made a website with the image so he can access the image anywhere, any time.
Once you scan your vision board, you can shrink it and print it out the size of a 3 by 5 photograph. This way you can carry it with you everywhere you go and occasionally have a look at it to remind yourself what you're manifesting.
