The Easy'Manifesting
Box' Method
The 4 Steps Manifesting Experiment Challenge
I've been using processes like the one I am
about to describe quite successfully for a number of years now (sometimes with
amazing results) so I have built up a considerable amount of confidence in
them.
But I have no idea whether those results will
transfer easily to complete strangers (some of whom might be quite skeptical)
and who may be completely new to this sort of thing. Though I see no reason why
what works for me will not work for anyone who tries it sincerely.
But, whatever the outcome is, I think it will
be an unusual, and perhaps memorable, experience for anyone who sincerely gives
it a go.
If any of your friends, family, colleagues or
other online buddies wish to get involved as well, just point them at this web
page.
If you have any questions, just ask them in the comment section below and I'll answer them . Doing this will also provide the
opportunity for other people to answer as well based on their own personal
experiences as they gain more manifesting experience.
I will use any feedback from those questions
and answers to improve (or rewrite) these instructions as the experiment
continues. Because I've been doing this for a while, things that might seem
obvious to me might not be so obvious to you. So please ask questions if
anything is not clear.
THINGS YOU WILL NEED
To take part in this experiment, you will
need:
-A box
-Some paper
-A pen
STEPS IN THE PROCESS
Here are the steps involved in how to
manifest your desires effortlessly.
STEP 1: Decide what you want and why you want
it, and write that on a piece of paper
STEP 2: Put the paper in the box
STEP 3: Forget about it
STEP 4: Record your Vibrational Matches below
A FEW WORDS BEFORE STARTING
I think the main reason that people believe
that the Universe doesn't give them what they want is that the way that your
desires manifest is often different to the way you asked for them.
Let me explain what I mean by that.
You are actually deciding what you want
everyday anyway just by living your life.
If someone is rude to you, you are launching
a desire for more pleasant people in your life.
If you feel that your life is too serious,
you are launching a desire to laugh a bit more and lighten up.
If travelling on the train to work feels
tedious and boring to you, you are launching a desire for a more interesting
journey.
If you are lonely and want to be involved in
a romantic relationship, you are launching a desire for a lover or life partner.
To you, these might seem like four separate
desires but the Universe automatically blends multiple desires together (often
in surprising ways) and what you get in return is a blended manifestation.
So, to take the above desires as an example,
you might be on the train to work one morning and you end up by accident (it
seems to you) in conversation with a pleasant, happy person who seems quite
attractive to you. You laugh and joke with this person and don't think anything
more of it. The next day, the same thing happens, and the day after that, and
the day after that - and you start to realize that this person always seems to
be catching the same train as you...the train journeys seem so much less boring
now. You discover from your conversations that you actually work nearby to each
other and you start meeting up for lunch as well, and then perhaps after work
as well. And eventually, you become involved in a romantic relationship,
perhaps getting married.
All of this might seem like a series of
random events to you but they were not. The universe has actually manifested
multiple desires of yours but you didn't notice that happening because those
desires were launched incrementally even though they might have manifested
simultaneously.
Plus you didn't write those desires down, or
even given any thought to them consciously, so it's easy to forget that this is
what you were asking for if it actually manifests years later.
These days there are many things I am living
that I wanted many years ago but just forgot that I wanted. It's only after
looking back and thinking deeply about the sorts of things I wanted back then
that I've realized that I've got them now.
This is why sometimes I like to be quite
precise about what I want and I like to track those manifestations. Over a
period of time of doing this, you start to see the precise correlation between
what you are asking for and what you are getting. And it just becomes obvious
that you are always getting what you are asking for - and you will then start
to wonder why no-one else can see that too. :)
Have you ever done anything as systematic as
this before? No?
Well then, it's hardly surprising that you
might not be convinced that the Universe is steadily responding to your
requests.
This experiment might help to change your
view about that.
Now let's look at each of the process steps ...
STEP 1 - Decide what you want and why you want it, and write that on a piece of paper
It may surprise you to know that this is
probably the hardest step in the process to do. I have sometimes spent days,
even weeks, trying to decide exactly what I really want.
It's not as easy as it sounds. You may think
you know what you want, but you will often discover that you really don't.
The problem is that for most of us - for most
of the things we want - we carry vague ideas around in our heads. We just kind
of assume what we want is obvious. But is it?
Have you ever tried to explain precisely to
someone else exactly what it is you want?
It is often only when we are forced to do
something like this that we realize how vague our desires and wishes really
are. So is it any surprise in that case that we don't get them, or we don't
notice when we get them?
Guideline for request writing
Here is the guideline that I use when writing
out a request for what I want...
Write your request in such a way that you can
hand it straight over to a reasonably-intelligent person who is going to go and
get it or do it for you. But the single condition is that once you have given
them your request you cannot contact them again about it or give them further
information.
This means you need to give them enough
information up-front in the request to know exactly what it is that you want.
And since you can't contact them again afterwards, it is a good idea to tell
them why you want it as well. Because if they can't get exactly what you want,
then they can at least get you an acceptable substitute if they understand why
you want it.
I suggest you also date your requests. It is
often interesting to look back and see how the things you have wanted have
changed over time, and it also gives you some idea of how long things can take
to manifest. Often, it is sooner than you remember.
Don't limit yourself
Another thing to bear in mind is that this
person can get you anything you want, so why limit yourself?
Instead of asking for a small house in an
average place, why not ask for a luxurious house in an expensive area? Why not
ask for many houses in different places?
Instead of asking for a thousand dollars, why
not ask for at least one thousand dollars? If they are able to get you
anything, why place any limits on them?
Do you believe your request is possible?
Bear in mind that the person you are going to
hand over your request to does not have magical powers (even though some of
your manifestations might seem magical when they come), they are simply doing
or arranging something on your behalf. So if what you are asking for is
something you personally believe cannot be done, then it is unlikely that they
will be able to do it either.
So, let's say you ask for a million dollars
by next week but you are currently living in poverty on the streets, do you
think this will be a believable request to you? It might be something you
really want or fantasize about, but it is probably not something you believe is
really possible. How do I know? Because if you truly believed it, you would already
be living it...that's just the way the Universe works.
But if you are a billionaire already, then
asking for another million by next week is probably quite a reasonable request
to you.
So make your requests believable in terms of
what you already believe is possible. You can push the limits of your belief a
bit, but you will get a feeling within yourself when you have gone too far.
Ask for what money will bring you, not just
money.
Even though I have just given you a money
example, I try to stay away from asking for specific amounts of money. After
all, what is money? It's just lumps of paper and metal (if you have cash) or it
is usually just a number on a bank statement. You can't do much with those
lumps of paper and metal (or that printed number) apart from exchange it for
something else.
So what you really want is the thing that you
believe the money will allow you to buy. So ask for that instead of the money.
Ask for what you want, not what you don't
want.
Also, ask for things you want, not things you
don't want. If the neighbours are unfriendly and annoying you, and you now want
new neighbours, then asking for the current neighbours to go away is not really
what you want, is it? You might end up with new unfriendly and annoying neighbours.
What you really want are pleasant and friendly neighbours, even if that means
that the current neighbours stay where they are and simply change their
behavior.
Write your requests when you are feeling good.
Have you ever noticed that when you are feeling
upset, you behave in different ways than when you are happy?
It's the same with writing requests. The
things you ask for when you are unhappy will be different to the things you ask
for when you are feeling happy. And often, those unhappy things are not going
to make you happy even if you get them. Vibrationally speaking, you can't reach
a happy destination from an unhappy journey.
So I would strongly advise you to only write
out your requests when you are feeling good. In that frame of mind, you'll be
able to think more clearly about what it is you really want instead of getting
hung up in just getting away from your current (temporary) unhappiness.
Don't ask for things you desperately need.
I'm not saying don't ask for things you need,
just don't ask for things you desperately need.
What's the difference?
It's tricky sometimes to tell what the
difference is. Often you need something, that's why you are making the request.
But if you are desperate for it then it is going to cause problems when manifesting
the request.
A guideline to consider is how would you feel
if you didn't get what you wanted. If it feels like it would be a disaster, or
the end of the world, for you to not get it, you're probably in desperation.
If, on the other hand, it would feel like a
gentle "oh well, I didn't get it. I'll still manage without it" then
you probably have an acceptable attitude.
Don't ask for things you cannot forget about
for a while
Let's say you decide to ask for more pleasant
neighbours but you just can't bring yourself to ignore the behavior of the
current neighbours. You keep noticing them everyday as you look out of your
window and the way they currently behave preys on your mind all day long. Then
this is probably not a request that is going to work out for you...because you
will keep standing in the way of it. We'll talk about this more in Step 3.
An example of a request
Here is an actual request I used a few years
back by way of example. I was living in an apartment and one of the rooms
needed some blinds but the landlady was not co-operating. I've edited out the
locations mentioned and the landlady's name. Notice that I have covered both
the what and why of my request.
Also note that this is a short and minor
request by my standards. Many of my requests are much, much longer, perhaps a
full page of text sometimes (I use a word processor). So you can imagine just
how detailed and specific they are. I chose to put this short, minor one here
as an example simply to maintain some privacy for myself :)
December 2, 2016
I am writing about the carpets that were
promised for my apartment at [location of apartment].
Please remind my landlady [name of
*landlady*] to arrange for some carpets to be fitted in the office and lounge.
They should be green carpets like those already in the kitchen, or like those that were in the
[previous apartment] lounge.
I have asked the landlady on a number of
occasions to provide some carpets and she has previously agreed to do so at her
expense. However, nothing has yet happened and we have little discomfort in these
rooms as a result.
From what I remember this request manifested
in a few weeks, perhaps sooner. The landlady called me out of the blue one day
for some unrelated reason and I felt inspired to re-mention the carpets again
and she felt inspired to deal with it immediately after that phone call.
That's basically it. Just write the request
as though someone else is going to do it for you. I used to write lines such as
Please give me this or something better but I don't do that these days and I
still get things that are better so it's up to you if you want to add any
closing lines.
Some people like to add lines like Please
bring this about for the greater good of all. If your particular belief system
is such that you wouldn't feel okay about requesting things for yourself
without it being of benefit to others, then add those lines as well. It's
really all about you being comfortable about making the request.
If you do feel any resistance towards just
asking for what you want - whether for moral or religious reasons - just look
more broadly at what we are doing here...
...we are simply taking pieces of paper,
writing on them, and putting them in a box. If this is something wrong or evil
then we should probably outlaw the use of filing cabinets. :)
STEP 2 - Put the paper in the box
Why do I need a whole step just to tell you
to put your request in a box?
Because in many ways, this is the most
critical step.
When you put your request in the box, you are
now handing it over to the person (the Universe) who is going to manifest your
request for you.
Think about it for a moment. If, in real
life, you told someone you trusted to go off and do something for you, how
would you feel after they left to go off and do it?
Remember that you trust this person, so
wouldn't you feel rather confident and expectant now that your request is being
worked on and is in good hands?
Wouldn't you feel at least a bit better that
you don't have to do this thing yourself and someone competent is carrying out
your wishes on your behalf?
If you don't feel at least a bit better for
handing over your request, then doesn't that imply that something is not right?
Perhaps it indicates you don't really trust
them after all? Or perhaps it indicates that you don't really feel you've given
them enough information to get exactly what you want? Or perhaps it indicates
that you are feeling too needy or impatient?
All the same things that would apply in the
real world apply also to putting your paper in the request box.
If you don't feel some feeling of relief, or
perhaps positive expectation, then something is wrong somewhere in the way you
are approaching the process.
You will need to think carefully about what
it is you are doing (or not doing) that is not making you feel better about
handing over your request.
If, on the other hand, you do definitely feel
better once you have handed over your request then everything is going just
like it should.
Don't rush
There can be a great temptation with this
method to just rapidly write out everything you've ever wanted and dump them
all in the box. That's not what I do and I'm not sure if you will get reliable
results if you apply that level of impatience to this approach.
Take it easy with your requests. I generally
leave a gap of at least one sleep cycle for each request. So that means that if
I wrote the request today and it feels ready, I will not put it in the box
until tomorrow. This gives me a chance to make any last minute amendments.
Often, you can feel a slight pressure to put the request in the box as soon as
possible, and once you force yourself to delay the request, this pressure goes
away and you will perhaps think of other things that should be added to the
request.
When the time finally comes to put the
request in the box, I like to be feeling fairly relaxed about it. I want to
have the feeling that the request is as complete and clear as I can make it, so
that I can have confidence in handing it over to someone else knowing that they
will understand clearly what I want.
What kind of box to use?
It will probably help to have a box that is
special in some way to you. The idea is for you to think of this box as a place
where, once you put a request, it is being worked on without any further input
from you.
So pick some kind of a box that gives you
that kind of feeling. It doesn't even need to be a box really. It can be a file
or folder, or container...what it is doesn't really matter, it's the feeling it
gives you when you put things inside it that matters.
I personally just use a metal bankers cash
box with a lockable lid. Once I put the request in the box, and lock the lid,
it feels to me like the request is out of my hands.
STEP 3 - Forget about it
This is another step that seems like it
doesn't need to be a full step by itself.
But again, it is a critical step.
Every time you think about your request
again, you are are effectively stopping work on the request and taking it out
of the box again. I know you are not physically taking it out of the box, but
you are mentally doing so.
In the real world, how is anyone supposed to
get anything done if you keep interrupting them? How is a seed supposed to
grow, if the gardener keeps digging it up to check if anything has happened?
You're reading this posting because I presume
you want these things effortlessly so why not just let it all go and go do
something else instead while your request is being worked on?
If you really want to put in lots of effort
towards getting the thing you want, then why are you using this process?
Sometimes you can't forget about something
because you desperately need it. Well, as I mentioned earlier, asking for
things you desperately need is probably going to get in the way of you getting
it. In that case, this is probably not the process to be using. See this answer
for some tips on dealing with things you need.
Inspired Action
Remember I said earlier that you cannot
contact the person you are handing your request over to. Notice that I didn't
say they couldn't contact you.
Well, they can contact you - and that's
through the feeling of inspiration.
Have you ever done something when you've been
feeling really inspired? Can you remember how effortless that felt? Often, it
felt like fun as well. It just felt like doing the right thing at the right
time - it felt effortless.
That's what I mean in the title of this
posting about manifesting effortlessly. Sometimes, physical action may be
required in order to bring about a manifestation (or vibrational match - we'll
talk about vibrational matches next) but it won't feel like physical action to
you. It will just feel like doing something inspired or fun.
And, often, you won't even consciously
realize you are taking any physical action towards a desire. Remember the
example at the start about someone having a fun conversation on the train with
the person that they eventually end up marrying?
This all comes under the category of inspired
action and this is really the purpose of physical action in manifestations. It
is something enjoyable on the path to what you want. You can rest assured that
if you are in vibrational harmony with what you want (by following the previous
instructions) that any action you are required to do will not feel like action,
as you normally think of it.
But how can you forget about something and
then watch out for any required inspired actions?
The answer is you don't look for inspired
actions. Just let them come to you. You'll be living your life and then
something might suddenly grab your attention as being something you really want
to do in the moment. In that case, just go along with that sudden inspiration.
And even if you miss that moment of
opportunity, don't worry. The Universe has a backup plan, and if you miss that
one, don't worry, there'll be another, and another, and another, and so on. So
just relax and trust that if you are required to do something, it will be so
obvious that you just cannot miss it and if you do miss it, it will come
another way.
Does this mean that all manifestations have
some element of conscious action? No, not at all. Often, things just seem to
come out of nowhere and, other times, just through your living life normally,
you'll be taking any necessary action without even realizing it.
STEP 4 - Record your vibrational matches
So what's a vibrational match?
A vibrational match is just something
meaningful (to you) that brings your manifestation closer.
There isn't really a hard and fast definition
that I know of. It will mean different things to different people.
For example, let's say you are looking to buy
a new car. A vibrational match to one person might be suddenly realizing
exactly what kind of car they want. A vibrational match to another person might
be a friend calling them and telling them they have a car for sale, and then
the person realizing that this is the kind of car they want to buy. Or, to
another person, a vibrational match may be seeing the car you want drive past
you on the road.
Whatever seems significant to you as evidence
that your manifestation is on its way can be classified as a vibrational match.
You can consider them to be a snippet of
manifestational evidence.
So what's the use of noticing (and recording)
these vibrational matches?
It's mainly about making you feel better that
what you want is on its way to you.
As you see a bit of evidence that the process
is working for you, your belief that the process is working will start to
increase. In turn, that belief will allow more evidence to manifest itself that
the process is really working, which in turn will make you believe even more
that the process is working, and so on.
Now what would happen if many people were
using a process and it was working well for some of them, but not so well for
others? Wouldn't seeing evidence of it working for some people also make the
others more confident about it working for them?
That's why I want you to record your
vibrational matches in public on this website as answers to this posting.
Whenever something meaningful happens in your
life related to something you have asked for, just write it below. It doesn't
have to be long, and it can be vague (if you don't want to divulge too much
about what your desire is or what has happened).
So your vibrational match can be as specific
as:
Uncle Joe called me today about the Audi R8
sports car I've been looking for. He said a friend of his knows a showroom 15
miles away where I can get one at a huge discount and the discount is so huge
that it means I can afford it right now. I am going there tomorrow to take a
look
...or as vague as...
Heard about a big discount on something I am
looking for
As I said, the point of recording your
vibrational matches is to increase your belief in the process (and make your
own manifestations come more quickly) and also to provide evidence to others
that the process is really working. It might also encourage others to try the
process who presently doubt that anything can come about in their lives from
just putting pieces of paper into a box.
One final point, as with inspired actions,
don't go consciously looking for vibrational matches.
Let them come to you. If you go looking for
them, you risk thinking about the things you want too much and, as mentioned
earlier, repeatedly thinking about what you want - by noticing it hasn't come
yet - will interfere with the manifestation of it.
SUMMARY
So that's it. That's all you have to do to
manifest your desires effortlessly.
STEP 1: Decide what you want and why you want
it, and write that on a piece of paper
STEP 2: Put the paper in the box
STEP 3: Forget about it
STEP 4: Record your Vibrational Matches below
As I said earlier, if you have any questions
about this process, just ask them below. That way, others can share their own experiences
regarding your question (rather than just me) and also it will be easy for
others to see all questions related to this process.
Please record your vibrational matches as
answers below.
