MAKING MONEY FROM NOTHING

You don’t need money to make money!

Money seems to be the hardest thing for people to manifest; it’s our greatest `worry’. And yet we seem to find it relatively easy to manifest other things, even without money. We might say `well I need money in order to do this or that’, but often what happens is that thing manifests in our lives, and we haven’t used money to get it. We win a prize, or someone gives it to us, or we barter one of our skills for someone else’s. It’s the same with money. We don’t need money to create money in our lives. And if we had money, what would we do, buy more? No of course not. So basically, we don’t need anything outside ourselves to create money, like anything else. You can start with nothing, have no money - and I know this from personal experience – and create it into your life. I’ll describe to you what’s been working for me.

Every Morning: I sit in bed and be grateful for whatever I already have. Enough money right here and now, a home to live in, friends etc, and really feel that gratitude. The idea is to get in that place of love, where you really feel good about life.

Once I’m in that I say something like, ‘I am grateful for what is, and I m ready for more!’ I picture what it is I’d like; how much money I have in the bank, the holiday I’m dreaming about. I also have a dream folder that I put pictures in of all this stuff. I’ve whited out bank balances and put in the amount I want to see. I’m a visual person, so I can look at a photo of a beach resort in the Maldives and feel more amazing just looking at it than I would being there! I have a picture of my perfect car, my perfect body (with my head on it) and my perfect house. So I get these photos out and look at them while I’m daydreaming. This sends a very strong message out to the quantum field. Then I say to my Higher Self, my angels, the world of people and to the universe and beyond `I have taken this time to create my day and I’m affecting the quantum field. If there is a spiritual aspect to me, and you’re watching me create this, show me a sign today that you’ve paid attention to these things I’ve created, and bring them to me in a way that surprises even me, and that I know, without a doubt, that it came from you.’ (this statement comes from the film `What the Bleep.’)

Then with this loving feeling inside and knowing that I have been heard and listened to, I put all my dreams and gratitude out to the universe. You can put your dreams in an imaginary basket and blow them away, you can open up your arms and visualise them speeding away: whatever makes you feel like they are out of your hands and in the hands of the Divine. I blow kisses!

Then I get out of bed feeling fantastic!

During the Day: I then usually go for a walk, but even if I’m on my way somewhere, I put myself in the picture of already having what I’ve asked for. I let my imagination run wild here. I put on imaginary clothes that I’d wear if I had all that money; I think of all the things I’m planning to do now I have that money. If I don’t actually have money and really feel like going shopping, I go and look at things in shops as if I will buy them. I check out flights and prices and hotels on the internet. I’m basically keeping my energy focused on what I want, and in the stream of love. This is very important! Because love is the stream by which all things are created, it’s really important to keep yourself in this wonderful feeling all day. I do this by daydreaming about having all I’ve asked for, pretending it’s already here, doing things I love the way I love to do them as much as possible during the day, and basically keeping in high spirits. Now you don’t need anything to do this outside yourself. We’ve been given this ability to imagine and pretend as an incredible gift, and we can use it to do whatever we want. That’s why you can start from absolutely nothing, and create a life of riches, love and joy.

The golden rule is: whatever you do with great love and joy, will create more of that for you. So you’ll always find your `good luck’ comes in areas of your life that you love doing. Of course the other side of the coin is true too. Wherever you are feeling not good, you’ll attract more of the same! So watch your thoughts!

Let me give you an example: I recently went house hunting, which I quite enjoy. I like looking in different houses and imagining myself in them and having a bit of imaginary fun. I had looked at a couple that day and was having a cup of tea. The real estate agent had said there was an open house for an apartment opposite the park that afternoon. It was a bit above my price range so I didn’t think about looking at it. I hadn’t been to that area of town for a while, and besides that park there were great shops and cafes there. I had nothing else to do that day so I thought `I’ll jump on the bus, check out this great flat than go shopping and to the new café down there.’ Just the kind of thing I like doing. So out of fun I went and checked out this apartment. It was cute, a bit small, and I didn’t think more on it because the flats I thought I’d move to were being viewed the next day. I saw those places but over the next week I kept thinking about that apartment, and although I couldn’t remember specifics about it, I decided to move there. I signed the lease and went to look at it again, and when I walked in realised it had everything I loved. I looked at a list I had written several months ago about my perfect home in the city, and I had manifested 13 out of the 16 things I had written on that list. And it was all because I’d decided to look at a place, `just for fun’.

OK. So during the day as well, I write a gratitude diary. Every time something nice happens, I write it on my computer or in my notebook. It could be a friend buying me a coffee, it could be a great idea for an article, it could be winning something. Anything that I’m grateful for I write in, and that keeps my spirits lifted throughout the day and keeps me in tune with the fact that I am creating all this good stuff. I also make sure my thoughts keep focused on what it is I want, rather than what I don’t want. This has been the hardest for me, but with practice, has become second nature. I’m surprised now when I have a negative thought, and I just laugh it off.

At Night: Before bed I complete my gratitude diary on my computer, from my notebook and adding anything else I can think of. The clue is to not put the same thing twice: it’s always new stuff. Then, before I go to sleep I say thank you for my day and review all the good things that have happened. This is a great thing on its own, because whatever you’re grateful for, you create more of.

It seems a bit of work now I write it all down, but I’ve developed this over the last ten months or so, and I must say, as I’ve built up what I’ve done each day, things have got better and better. It took me a while to move out of negative thinking and into positive - months actually - but it was worth the effort and determination to stick with it. After all, what else do I wanna do on earth, other than manifest my wildest dreams!

I hope some of this helps you too. You can start with one thing and work your way up. Being grateful is an awesome thing on its own. If the only prayer you ever have is `thank you’ you’re on the right track. The gratitude diary took things up a notch, and I started winning prizes and having more `luck’ after starting this. The biggest thing for me though, has been keeping in the `stream of love’. And the greatest thing about it, besides it being a fantastic manifestation tool, is that you get to have the best fun doing it. You get to spend all your time daydreaming about what you love, and spending your day doing things that you love. Whenever I come across things I don’t want to do now, I just don’t do them, and I’ve realised a great thing: I don’t need to do them. I have a saying now. If I don’t love it, it’s not my business!

I urge you to keep going with this, even when it seems nothing is happening. It may takes days, weeks, or months as in my case, but you’ll see little indications along the way that what you’re doing is working. You’ll be on a high and something great will happen; You’ll be in a bad mood and quickly lift yourself out of it because you know the consequences! The gratitude diary has been good for this because even when it seems not much is happening, you can look back over your day and note the little things that have come your way. And it gives you incentive to keep `smiling on the inside’ because it gets you excited about what you’ve just created from those good feelings. Good Luck!
