The Virtual Hammock

Welcome back!

Here is an article I came across which will help you with manifesting what you want into your life – short and simple and worth trying even if you don’t believe in ‘mumbo jumbo’.

By Chyrene Pendleton

First, I would like to share with you a tool I’ve used successfully, beginning early in my life. I know that many others have used this tool successfully and authors have written about it, especially in recent years. It’s actually very simple and very powerful. I used to call this simply my “List” but now, I call it the “Magic List”, inspired by one of my non-metaphysical students several years ago. (More about that later). With this Magic List, you are using the power of the written and the spoken word that is released to the Universe to manifest in your reality.

All it requires are these steps:

• Take a piece of paper (any kind of writing paper – from a notebook, or your favorite color of paper, etc), and write a numeric list of all of your desires. They can be short-term of long-term desires. State your desires as clearly as possible.

• After you have written down your desires, at the bottom of the page, write something to this effect: “May all of these desires, or better, manifest for the Highest good of all.” This releases any need to manifest your desires in a particular way. It opens it up to the Universe to bring you what you want in the best and Highest way possible, and at the right time.

• Keep your Magic List with you at all times, in your wallet, purse, etc.

• Read your list (aloud if possible) just before going to sleep, first thing upon awakening and before going into meditation. Do this every day, and you will soon see profound results.

• As your desires manifest, cross them off your checklist. Soon, you will want to rewrite it, creating a new Magic List (the old one eventually can look pretty unreadable with all of those lines crossing things off!) on a fresh piece of paper. If some of the old desires haven’t yet manifested, you can add them, too. Personally, I prefer to do this on the new and full moons, taking advantage of their powerful manifesting energies.

Several years ago, I studied Native American spirituality from a Lakota medicine woman and learned the ritual of clearly stating my written desires to the Universe on the new and full moons and then burning them, releasing them to the Universe. You’ll want to keep your Magic List as a separate list, however, as you’ll be using it every day.

• Finally, do not show your list or talk about it to others.
  Keep it to yourself. This is a way of keeping your energy totally and
  directly focused on what you want. Talking about it and sharing it with
  people only disperses your energy and it may take longer for those
  desires to manifest.

The Magic List really, truly works. Anyone can do it. A
non-metaphysical student (also my co-worker at the time) was in one of
my prosperity workshops and, as I described what I originally called my
“List”, he became very pale…

My big sister, Nicola, is always encouraging me to focus on a big hairy goal (conjures up an image, doesn’t it?!)

So I’ve been avoiding the issue for, ooh, I don’t know, 5 years now?
Diddling along, letting myself get distracted by other peoples dreams
and hopes and ambitions but never actually taking the time out to think
about me and what I want to achieve.  You know, doing ANYTHING (even
cleaning the toilet) to avoid looking at me and my life.

Why?  What is my fear for goodness sake?

I suppose I was worried that if I started looking, I’d see what I didn’t have and this would make me miserable.

Well, I’ve decided to take the lid of the can of worms anyway and stop
reading about improving my life and actually take action.  Phew.

As it turns it out, I’ve actually achieved more than I’d thought but
just hadn’t put any value on it because it’s stuff that I do.  Dumb
eh?  Well  no more.  For the past two nights (and I’m making this a
daily habit), I’m getting into bed, picking up my notepad and writing
in it what I’m grateful for today.  This means I am focusing on what I
DO HAVE and being thankful for it.

By looking at all the positive things in my life, that is now what I
see, so that is what I now experience and I expect more and even better
things to happen.  I’ve also made the decision to read, listen, watch
and speak positively – it’s a kind of game, catching myself and
searching for the positive phrase instead.

So here I am, on the start of my adventure towards making my life on
The Virtual Hammock become a real hammock on a sunshine filled verandah
with views of the ocean in front of me.

This is what I can see:
