I am sitting in a hotel room, window open, listening to the sound of the ocean as a soft salty breeze floats in. I’ve got my dog Abbey sitting to my left and Emma, her little furry sister, asleep on my right. My husband, Phillip, is in the shower getting ready to have a day at the beach. Life can’t get any better than this. At this moment everything is as it should be. In fact, there is so much gratitude rising inside of me, I am overwhelmed with thanks.
I’ve been having more and more moments like this. Pure unbridled joy. How did I get here? It all started in my mind…
I have been using affirmations and visualization for the last 20 years with amazing results; however, in the last 2-years I consciously made a vital connection that is the key to success with affirmations. The experiences I have manifested are only reflections of deeper desires. One of my more dramatic financial manifestations was generating an unexpected $70,000. How did I do this? I visualized love. Yes, that’s right, love. Things had been a bit financially stressful for me and Phillip, so I decided to focus on manifesting a financial solution. When I thought about what the result of having money would feel like and look like…it was love, joy, deep connection with my husband…absent of any stress.
My visualization to manifest money was imagining me and Phillip out to dinner, deeply in love, laughing, sharing food and chatting about how amazing our life together is. I was also frequently affirming that “Money comes easily, frequently and abundantly!” Literally, 9 months later, we were there…more deeply in love, lighter with laughter and $70,000 richer…unexpectedly richer. I didn’t think about how the money would come to us, and I didn’t think about what we would do with it. I only felt the love that I would feel when it happened. The added bonus: During the 9 months between starting the visualization and the end result, I felt more love, even while we were still in the midst of getting on our financial feet. I know that I have the power to bring those feeling about whenever I desire to. I am the door that can open to let the passion pour though.
There is a lot more that I want to experience in life, but I know that it all comes back to experiencing love, connection, joy, essentially touching the divine within. Everything I experience in the outer realm is a reflection of what the feelings within me are. Right now, I’m feeling truly blessed.
There are a number of other manifestations I have experienced including: marriage, a full college scholarship, jobs, real estate, promotions, our pets, healing and my current city of residence, Portland, OR. They key to my success with affirmations: become a dreamer that only believes in your ideal life. Anything is possible!
We have been graced with the ability of choice. We choose our thoughts, actions and attitude, and it is through these choices that our lives take shape.
Positive change is simply about remembering that the abundance, beauty, joy and peace we seek already exists within ourselves.
