How I manifested some money

How I manifested a quarter million dollars while a broke single mum.
I was desperate, in arrears with my rent, my car was out of registration and broken down in the garage. I was stuck at home unable to drive to my part-time job 30km away.
I had to come up with something fast, Byron Bay was full of new agey groups and I heard it often enough: somehow I had manifested it al. But no one had a solution, I found that the wealthy people I knew had inherited their wealth, I suppose that they manifested it too.
I read lots of books about manifesting and how to adjust my thinking to a more positive outlook on wealth, this was all well and good but how do I go about it. My rent was overdue!

My thinking had to change at lightning speed!

I found some great advice in various books but not one gave me a real step by step” how to” on manifesting and a lot of the advice came from people wanting me to join very expensive courses telling me that if i really wanted to do their course I would manifest the money! This was fast becoming a chicken or the egg situation.
Really?

Don’t you think that if I knew how to come up with a few grand to do their seminars I would be sweet and not need them?. Needless to say that any of my spare money would go on essentials.
I had to find a way to focus my thinking and get myself into a more relaxed attitude towards money, a way to somehow become a money magnet while staying relaxed about it all.



Relaxing about the whole thing was my first step
Being relaxed meant that i just let my worries go, there was nothing i could achieve by freaking out about it, even borrowing was out of the question. A loan would only postpone things and not really fix the problem.
I went to my favourite bookshop and had a good browse through the new age section; I found plenty of books on affirmations and manifesting money.
I was on the right track. I got my notebook out and started to take notes on affirmations and tips on how to make them work. I didn’t find very much at the time on manifesting besides repeating endless affirmations.

This seemed all so slowww, and the rent deadline was coming up.
I saw a book on rituals and I though aha, this is it, but on reading along I found the whole thing a bit complicated, what the heck was “dragons blood” ?
No dragons in Byron Bay, unless you counted the old bat down the road! I found more books on ritual and realized that really there probably wasn’t a definitive ritual to attract money but I did find the meaning for ritual.

Ritual takes events from daily life and gives them some sort of meaning.
For example we can eat bread and drink wine everyday but this eating and drinking are given a different meaning in the catholic mass, the bread becomes the body of Christ and the wine becomes his blood. I do remember from my childhood my grandma always making a the sign of the cross on the loaf of bread before cutting it, a small ritual act that was very significant, a blessing for the bread and thanks for the food.

Many rituals take place on a daily basis, I don’t just mean the big ones like marriage, christening, funerals, etc, there are small things we do every day :
the first cup of tea in the morning, the way we shower, dress, brush teeth, all small acts that can become ritualized.
When we give those small acts a greater significance and repeat them they become rituals. We attach a certain symbolism to those daily acts, and make them have greater significance.

Here is the dictionary answer for ritual

a. The prescribed order of a religious ceremony.
b. The body of ceremonies or rites used in a place of worship.The prescribed form of conducting a formal secular ceremony:
c. the ritual of an inauguration.The body of ceremonies used by a fraternal organization.
