So what is all this talk about manifesting and manifestations anyway? Anyone who’s spent any time at all in chat with me in the past 6 weeks or so has heard me ask the question... “what are you manifesting?”

Manifesting is based on the principle in physics known as the Law of Attraction. In a nutshell, it says that energy is attracted to like energy. If you put out into the universe the energy of love, you will get love back. If you put out anger, you will get back anger. Fear begets fear, and so on.

I had posted in another forum ... Healthful Transformations ... a brief primer on the Law of Attraction. You’ll also find it in this forum, as well as another article I think is useful.

Many of you may have read (or are reading) Esther and Jerry Hicks’ The Law of Attraction, or recently viewed the internet move The Secret or the theatrical movie What in the Bleep...? If so, you have a good starting point for beginning to change your life through manifestations.

Manifestations can be created very simply through affirmations or visualizations. Affirmations are simply the verbal or auditory way to manifest events or opportunities. Visualizations are the visual way to manifest events or opportunities. It’s even possible to manifest alimentally (though smell/taste) ... have you ever eaten something, absolutely convinced that there is pineapple in it, only to be told by the cook that not only was there no pineapple, there was no fruit at all? You manifested the taste of pineapple alimentally!

Here at friendscommunities, we’ll be providing our community members with the opportunity to join together with others in the community in weekly affirmations. We’ll be starting the Weekly Affirmations on January 1, 2007. I encourage you to join us and to post your experiences each week as you journey through The Law of Attraction with us.

I bought the Secret and we viewed it the night before last. It is powerful. I think we'll be viewing it again. I liked the fact that they explain that it isn't just a thinking, intellectual process but more about energy and 'feeling' what you want always keeping in mind 'the higher good'.

Nice job on your posts Carolyn. :clap:

I've heard about this subject for years and years, and never paid any attention to it. I either passed it by because I thought it was fluff, or just positive thinking. I can see now that I didn't even understand what I was saying "no" to.

After finally digging in and getting into the details (and I've just scratched the surface) I can see now, so many other esoteric teachings coming together. "Mind is the builder" is what Edgar Cayce said in the 1940's.

Even Jesus is quoted in scripture as saying, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." (Mark 11:24) And again he says, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20) Proverbs 23:7 says, "As a man thinks, so he is."

The Buddah said, "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world."

All of this is about energy which we've all become more aware of and are starting to understand. This is no secret really, no more than eating right and getting excersize seems to be a secret to millions of people in the western world!

I am VERY excited about using these principals to manifest my dreams, and to see all of our members come together and learn together to use these principals to manifest YOUR DREAMS too!

Let's start right away!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

:wave: :love: Hi and thanks to Carolyn for opening up this topic for me!!
Even before the Healthful Transformations forum came into existence, Carolyn seemed on this path.....:cuss: ...and pointed out my negativity!!:D :redface3: .

BIG THANK YOU WITH LOVE TO CAROLYN!:hearts: :love: :musicnote

I started on this new journey and have had a ton of synchronicity and plenty of resources available on this topic to make me understand it's not just visualizing it - you must believe it as if it's already in your life. In this way you attract what you want. But be careful what you ask and don't send out mixed emotions/signals!!

Someone gave me this website as a resource...it applies to prayer but it also applies the law of attraction as well.

Also, if you have read Conversations with God: an uncommon dialogue by Neale Walsch, the law of attraction principles are evident in the first book....(and probably book 2 and 3 but I'm not that far yet!)

You can also find the law of attraction in Judith Orloff's books as well.

In addition, these other resources were also pointed out to me:
(and posted under the HT chat as well):

Braden's "the lost mode of prayer" from his earlier book
(applying the Law of Attraction)
See: http://www.greggbraden.com/lost_mode.php3 (http://www.greggbraden.com/lost_mode.php3)



:D So how can so many people be wrong I ask you!!

:clap: Remember, it takes time to change old habits, so as we all learn and grow to start utilizing this new knowledge, remember not to be too hard on yourself...that's just another negative that can result in our own dis-ease!

:hearts: Happy Manifesting!! :hearts:

What a great way to start 2007. Manifesting... whew I thought maybe I was the only person around here who was clueless to this term. I had read an earlier post from you carolyn and was kinda thinking gee what is it all about. I am Looking forward to learning as much as possible in teaching myself to think and really believe in positive thinking. I have had a year of poor health and boy positive thinking quickily gets takin over by the negativity of it all. I know all to well that when I am down on myself My arthritis takes right over.
Positive thinking wow what a concept!!:clap:
