I read somewhere that your thoughts manisfest things. What if you accidentally thought something? Or if you're thinking of a story? Will that happen then? Do we really have to be careful of what we are thinking too? And how do you wish someone good fortune? I mean, I've been writing some affirmations, and I'm not exactly sure how to phrase certain things. Like, wishing my stepdad could be healthy again, and my mom to have everything she want. That goes with everyone else I know, but--I don't know how to phrase that in the simplest way posible. Help?Christina Eavyn Warner IP: Logged |

Yay Something I can help with! Us Virgos love to be useful (snort) From what I've learned, and found through practice in my life, is that it IS possible to manifest negative things through negative thought, but you really need to be concentrating and putting some effort into it (aka worrying). Manifestation seems to be more about being open to the positive no matter how unlikely it seems. As you get better at it, you just believe the outcome you want is happening and that's that. It has really worked uncannily well for me, usually when I'm feeling light and optomistic. As far as phrasing, my mom is a very wise woman, and she taught me to be as open as you can so as not to prevent possible outcomes that could be even better than what you are asking.ex "I ask that my stepfather feel better soon (better? or completely WELL)" Or if you're in a situation that causes you pain, it might be best to say, "I ask that this situation be settled in a way that benefits everyone in the best possible way." Everyone's different, though. Just keep in mind that if you use no or not in your thoughts/words, you are just inviting that bad thing to exist. "I do not want to get sick" is probably not as effective as "My body is healing and I am healthy and aligned with my source". hope that helped some! I'm going to ask that more people respond to your post lol!IP: Logged |

Hi Christina,though this is slightly off the topic - there is a really good book called "Your Heart's Desire (Using the laws of manifestation to create the life you really want)" written by Sonia Choquette. In Sonia's book, she teaches you how to determine what it is that you desire, just in case you are confused. Also, she helps you to set up a special little box, where you can keep magazine cutouts and letters, notes etc....itemising things that you desire. See if you can borrow the book if you can't afford to buy it. Just a word of warning though.....as Ayumi suggested, you do have to spend a bit of time constructing your sentences.....and you really have to be careful what you wish for. Here's an example: A friend of mine who lives in Australia but was originally from Canada said that she was homesick and wanted to travel home. She also said that she would like some extra money, as she was financially struggling at the time. Her mother took ill, and died shortly thereafter, so my friend flew home for the funeral. She inherited some of her mother's estate. She later said to me, you really have to be specific with what you want, don't you. She didn't want to go home and receive money under those circumstances. On a more personal level, I was really upset with my ex-hubby after I kicked him out and I often spoke about him in a detrimental tone, calling him a "loser" and the like. One day, a friend pointed out to me that if I continued to call him a loser, he will be a loser. So I stopped calling him a loser and started wishing that he would get a job so that he could help me to financially support our children. He now has a job and has turned his life around. We need to be so careful about the words that go out into the universe. purple_scorp IP: Logged |

This reminds me of somebody who used to say that one day he will loose his wife. One day his wife took divorce from him. His own fear turned out reality. Like Linda says don't think about rainy days(if I remember right).IP: Logged |

Yes, well said everyone! I'd just add that I read the Dalai Lama say recently that true enlightenment can really only be acheived if you wish the world to attain enlightenment. As a personal thing, it doesn't really work. The reason is that it is for the use of helping the world, so be generating thoughts out to "Enlighten the World!" you will be default enlighten yourself. Likewise with healing. The healing of others automatically heals thyself. The only thing here though, is that mayb thyself needs a lot of healing - ie, it might take a while to go through all "negative" karma in order to feel the healing. If you get my drift Dean.
