Manifestation Methods

Yellow Mini! :)

I've had a couple of discussions about Law of Attraction/manifestation methods over the last few months, about which are the most effective. There are quite a few techniques including visualisation/Vision Boards, gratitude, affirmations, wishlists and intentions. For more on some of these techniques you can read my post on the Law of Attraction (LOA): https://fallingpetalsuk.blogspot.com/2013/08/law-of-attraction.html

I've had the most success with lists/writing things down. In 2009 I wrote a Life List (inspired by Celestine Chua's Bucket List article). One of the things I wrote down was "Try root beer". I didn't think I would get to try it till I went to America (I'd like to visit America one day) because I didn't think they did it in the UK. But a few days after I wrote it on the list, one of my friends on Facebook wrote that she had some and it was from a shop near me, so I got to try it! I ended up not liking it very much but at least now I know what it tastes like! lol.

Then in 2012 I wrote a list of 10 things I wanted to manifest in a week. It was a suggestion on the Live A Life You Love site (www.livealifeyoulove.com). One of the things I chose was a yellow Mini because Minis are my favourite cars and I decided to pick a yellow one because I didn't see them very often. Within a few hours of writing it down I had seen one and I went through a phase of seeing quite a lot, sometimes 2 or 3 a day! On my list I wrote "x4" next to "A yellow Mini", so I think I ended up seeing 4 during that week. I still sometimes see 1 or 2 a day now. I took the picture above the other week as part of the I Believe in Magic Summer Sampler session.

I manifested one other thing off that list in the week, an iced coffee. But I think I just went and got it, it wasn't free or anything, so not sure if that really counted! lol. And two other things manifested eventually. So it was 2 out of 10 during the week and 4 out of 10 altogether.

Your Courageous Life post on depression

I've been feeling very down lately and I just got this email with the latest post from Your Courageous Life, which happens to be about depression. I found it a bit helpful, so I thought I'd share it here: http://www.yourcourageouslife.com/2014/08/24/your-courage-is-for-us/

I hope it helps someone else to feel a bit (or a lot) better too. :)

I Believe in Magic *Free* Summer Sampler

I'm taking part in a free sample session of I Believe in Magic, which is run by Joy Holland from  Facets of Joy. What happens is that you receive a daily email prompt and then you can go and take a picture relating to the prompt and share it in a Flickr group (specially created for I Believe in Magic) if you want to. The session lasts two weeks (from 13th July to the 26th) and registration is open until tomorrow (15th July). Here's the link: http://facetsofjoy.com/i-believe-in-magic-free-summer-sampler/

We're on the second day today. If you want to post your photos you'll need to create a Flickr account, which won't take long and if you already have a Yahoo account you can join really easily (it must be linked to Flickr).
