I am energetic and excited about my Manifesting Mount Dora project. I love writing this blog about it. I love thinking about Mount Dora, visiting there regularly and visualizing our home and life there. Some days my enthusiasm is higher than others and, although I can usually conjure up at least some positive thoughts about my manifesting enterprise, little help is welcome. In answer to my desire for help, The Universe provided a class.
About two or three weeks ago, I was nearly finished reading a book called "Creating Money: Attracting Abundance" by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer - a book I had hesitated reading because of the title - I feared it would be overly materialistic, but that was not the case at all. In fact, the book looks evenly at abundance from all aspects, not just the money angle. At the end of each chapter there are exercises called "playbooks", but I had skipped those intending to come back to them later. To my surprise, as I neared the end of the book, I received a Facebook message from Mary Madeline Day inviting me to a class on that same book. Her class would run for 12 weeks on Tuesdays. Tuesdays are not good for me and I emailed her my regrets about not being able to attend. Since I was the first person to show an interest in the class, she offered to move it to whatever night worked for me. Not only did I get a great class to help bolster my manifesting enthusiasm, but I was given the opportunity to choose the day of the week for the class!
Our first class had 13 people in attendance, including Madeline. Many had not known about the class or decided to attend until late that afternoon and I believe I was the only person, other than Madeline, who had previously read the book. In fact, most did not even have a copy of the book. The bulk of our time was spent getting to know one another and sharing why we were there and what we wanted to gain from the class, ending with a meditation. We had another session last night and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience, especially the sharing of experiences and insights. A standout inspiration for me was when one of my classmates shared that he had been trying to manifest a new mate and he always imagined the needs and desires that she would fulfill for him, seeing himself as the magnet attracting her. During a recent visualization practice, he was inspired to start thinking of her as trying to manifest him and what needs and desires he could answer in her life. Changing his imagery to include her as a manifestor increased the power he felt when he was doing his visualization. What a wonderful idea to think not only of me as manifesting something, but also think of that thing or person as manifesting me. I can imagine a house in Mount Dora waiting for my family and me to fill its emptiness with laughter and love. Since everything is energy, it is easy to imagine even inanimate objects as sending out magnetic rays to attract you at the same time you are engaged in attraction practices on your end. I loved this idea and am now practicing it regularly.
This week I managed to manifest a painting into my life. I took advantage of my grandchildren being gone for two weeks to redecorate my living room and dining room. I have worked hard on this project which is why I have not been blogging as much. I am determined to get everything completed before they arrive home on Sunday. After my mom passed away, I inherited a framed magazine cover that shows a photo of her and another bicycle racer (she was one of the first female bicycle racers). The frame is of a rather old-fashioned gold style that matches nothing I have, but I was afraid that the magazine cover would disintegrate if I tried to reframe it. I decided to place it on a wall in my dining room, but it there was too much space around it. Something else needed to be added, but I had nothing that matched the gold frame. I shopped and shopped looking for a gold frame that I could use for some other photo I had on hand or a piece of artwork with a gold frame that would be complimentary, but I found nothing. Soon I fell into the time-is-running-out-I-have-to-get-this-done-NOW mindset, which inevitably leads to poor choices and wasted money. Time to chill. So what if I don't finish that one wall before the children return? Its okay. So, I let it be, just staring at it from time to time, imagining what might look good there. Fast forward a few days. One of my clients is in the process of closing his business and out of the blue he offered to give me one of the paintings in his office. I never told him this, but for the past 14 years working there I have admired and lusted for that painting. And, conveniently, it is in a gold frame and is the right size to compliment my mom's photo! To make it even better, the painting is called "The Grandmother of God" - somehow that seems a fitting name for a piece of artwork to hang next to my deceased mom's photo. All that time I spent staring at the empty wall space and imagining what would look nice there led to the manifesting of not only a painting that is fitting, but a painting that I have long admired and wished to own. I think that is really, really cool.
So, if I can manifest a painting, I have no doubt that I can manifest my new life and home in Mount Dora. And, I will be doing just that as I go to Mount Dora later this month and walk around the town imagining myself living there, when I identify the house that I know is trying to manifest me as its owner and as I trust that all our acquaintances in Mount Dora are wishing to manifest me as their neighbor.
