Manifesting Things

I started with manifesting people.  I had just opened a private practice, and I had a small support committee.  One of the people on it also had a private practice.  She told me when she started that she had had a safety net: she delivered newspapers for a year.  But she also told me:  "don't worry the clients will come.  Just visualize them coming.  I do.  Just imagine their feet walking into your office."  This seemed like weird advice, but I was worried enough to try anything.  I tried it; nothing happened.

But then after about 6 months when things were going a little better, I had some middle of the day spaces that it seemed no one wanted.  I thought:  "I wish maybe a low income client who is not working and available in the middle of the day could come then."   Within an hour two low income clients available in the middle of the day called.  Wow!   Well coincidence....but I thought: "I would like to see a couple; I wonder if I could manifest that?"  By the next day the couple had scheduled and come to see me.  For months I wondered if it was a coincidence, but pretty much within days, any time I tried to think who I would like to see (including issues they might bring) it would show up!  I have for 10 years now had a busy thriving practice.  I wondered why the advice of my collegue had not worked in the beginning and then I realized.  She had said: Visualize shoes walking in".....well I had absolutely no interest in seeing shoes!  I wanted to see people.

But one of my best examples of manifesting things occurred around this same time.  I wanted to get a favorite board game I remembered from childhood for my daughter.  The game Masterpiece has cards with famous paintings on them which people bid for and try to win the most money - but it has the great educational value that you familiarize yourself with great masterpieces.  I looked in several stores for it, but I could not find it.  Finally, I looked online for it and discovered to my disappointment that it was no longer manufactured.  Drat!  Why do they drop all the good ones?  So how was I going to get this game?  Ahh I thought, maybe someone with grown children will have a yard sale and they will be getting rid of it.

Shortly thereafter, I was driving home through the alley behind my Condo with my daughter in the car, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a big box was sitting next to someone's garbage with apparently some board games sticking out.  I stopped the car immediately and hopped out.  And there it was: Masterpiece!   But even more mindboggling when I got it home, was it was in mint condition!  It has never been used; the money was still in the original plastic bags.  This sort of event is so precise that it defies (at least for me) any thought that this is just a coincidence.  That incident made me a true believer that you can manifest what you want in an abundant universe.  I eventually even manifested a husband this way, but that is another story.
