EZ Manifestation
My son is only 18 years old but I have been teaching him to manifest for years. Teaching him has also brought the practice keenly into my own awareness and reminds me of the steps. The steps that I have cobbled together through reading authors like Mike Dooley and Lynne McTaggart go like this:
Set an intention for what you want to have happen or what you want to manifest.
See it, feel it, put emotions with how it would feel to have that come true.
Give thanks that it is so.
Let go (the hardest step by far but you have to almost forget about it).
My son is quite good at manifestation but the happenings of the other day were just so cool. We manifested together, I would say. So, we have gone to a few thrift stores lately and last weekend, we were at one and my son was looking for cool shirts. I took off and looked around the store while he looked through the mens clothing. I come back to check on him and he holds up this super cool Chicago Bulls warm up jersey vintage 1989. The price tag said $20. I couldn’t believe it. We had been watching the documentary, The Last Dance, several times since it came out as it seems to really motivate my son to work even harder at playing baseball. He is very inspired by Michael Jordan so to find this warm up jersey from the Jordan era was fabulous. We took it home, he gave it a wash, and tried it on. It looked great and my husband looked up similar jerseys on eBay only to find that those jerseys retail about $140 and we got it for $20. Amazing! I guess this is what he meant by “cool shirts.” He manifested that pretty easily but the next item took my breath away.
A week later, we were visiting my mom (we are all vaccinated so it was great to have a normal visit). Earlier in the day, we were talking about his bedroom and how he needed to decorate the walls. He had moved his bed from the front bedroom to the back bedroom for a change of scenery and had yet to put his stamp on it. I asked him what he was thinking about putting up. He mentioned maybe getting a Michael Jordan poster. I told him that would be cool and maybe we could look on Amazon or something later to see what they had.
After dinner, we needed to get out and walk it off and my son mentioned wanting to go to the local thrift store there (one he’d never been to). We all agreed and set off. My son went straight to the men’s clothing while my Mom and I wandered around looking at the household items. I decided to check on my son and meandered back over near him but felt drawn to the canvas prints and art posters. They were all really ugly and bland. My hand reached out to look behind some of the stacks of canvases but then I was drawn to a stack at the far right. I followed my intuition and reached out again to just flip back the ugly geometric design on canvas and gasped. What did I see? A perfectly framed Michael Jordan poster from 1988 called “Soaring” where he was flying to dunk a basketball. It was a vintage poster in a red glass frame for $19. I couldn’t believe it. I laughed out loud. What are the chances that we would find this at this random thrift store 90 miles from our home? I picked it up and practically ran over to my son exclaiming loudly, “You won’t believe this!” He turned around and his jaw hit the floor. He came over and just started laughing out loud. We were giddy with excitement at what he manifested for himself. I then awkwardly carried it to the back of the store and showed my Mom. She couldn’t believe it either. Wow. Again we looked it up on eBay and these posters went for around $40. Not that it matters but it was fun to see. We got one in pretty good condition with a frame and it was from that time.
With intention, you have to let go and then you have to follow your intuition and keep moving forward. If we never went out to look at thrift stores, we never would have found either item. You have to move your feet after you set the intention so that it can manifest along your path. If you just stay home all the time, the opportunity to get that item might never come along. This is an important part of the process. In this case, we worked as a team to manifest the poster. You could definitely try this with another person to manifest something you want.
We will be putting up this beauty of a poster tomorrow to inspire him for years to come and he will definitely be sporting that warm up jersey around town.
