Spotlight Manifestation Stories!

I'd like to preface this manifestational story with a little
reminder...

I've been living in a hotel and a teeny apartment for the past four
months, focusing, moaning, griping, focusing focusing(crying in
dishes)focusing focusing. Okay, just this past week I just
REALLLLLLLLLLLLLY got into the feeling place of living in my dream
mansion, really. Just ooozing it, living it.

AND...

(drum roll please)

I have somehow managed(by feeling it real!)....

(more drum rolls)

to manifest a giant gated estate in Montecito two minutes from the
famous Miramar beach with a heated pool, giant deck with ten person
hot
tub, giant guest house(with spanish tiledkitchen bedroom and bathroom
and walk in closet) on .44 acres with giant palm trees and every kind
of other tree imaginable, three fireplaces, wine cellar, two AVIARIES
(yes, I said it AVIARIES...)over 4,000 square feet AND AND AND we're
lease optioning it and buying it in a few months. It's a real life
estate where you open the gate, park ten cars, etc. etc.

HELLO. THIS IS MY DREAM HOME. Some of the best schools in the frigging
world in a city that is just my HOME, definitively.

CAN WE SAY THANK YOU CONTRAST FOR THE PAST FOUR MONTHS?

ahhhhhh, gotta love that feeling place!

gotta love it gotta love it gotta love it.

love,
Denise

Yesterday morning I was walking to the BART (subway in the bay area)
station and I usually have to park waaaaaaay out there (the third
parking lot out) and there was an empty spot was open right in the
first row among all of the cars. one open spot

and at first i thought "dang!!" and even thought to go back to get my
car.. but didn't... then i thought.. how would it feel to have this
spot... excited.. giddy.. happy.. relieved

so this morning I was driving to Bart again and thought... what if
that spot was open.. and remembered the feelings.. so i concentrated
on it for a minute and then drove to the first parking lot...

and there it was.. not just the first row, but the very FIRST SPOT!!!!

And I felt all those feelings and basked in it. It made my morning :)

I have been waiting a few days to share this one b/c I wanted to make
sure. I USED TO BE allergic to nickel. Well every belt buckle in
the world has nickel in it. So my stomach would break out into this
rash whenever I wore belts.

So then Target and several other companies started making nickel free
jewelry. That was a great step in the right direction! I have been
loving that! And I found a company that makes nickel-free belts but
I didnt care for the style at all.

I have been trying to figure out the word that would mean the
opposite of allergic. For a while now, I knew that I could use the
LOA to release this allergy. I have been focusing on how much I like
to wear different styles of belts and stuff like that. So finally it
came to me: immune! I am immune to nickel! So I started saying
that a little bit and then feeling really excited.

So, it finally came to me that I had bought new jeans and the buttons
had not irritated me at all, not even once. Then I thought, you know
what? I am going to try it. So I bought a belt and I have been
wearing it around for days now. No reaction at all! I am truly
immune to nickel! So exciting. This one is better than money for
me because I love clothes so much and I felt like something was
missing! I can wear belts again! Yeah, my pants are staying up! LOL

A dear FIRbee asked me the following:

Denise,
I have had so many fabulous up days, where I've been so inspired, and the world is golden everywhere I look. It's been like this, on and off, for the past two or three weeks. But something happens inbetween the inspiration - it's like I'm riding this roller coaster, and if I have two or three glorious high-flying days, "inevitably" (I DON'T want to use that word, but it's what I feel like) I drop like a stone for a while.I know it doesn't last. I know I just have to ride it out. I know I have to refrain from doing something in those moments of being in the down curve of the roller coaster that will take some undoing when I'm riding the wave again. But it seems to me that there must be a way of preventing those dips. Or easing my ride down. Or somehow, getting to where I actually enjoy it, the way I enjoy getting the mild cold that makes me sleepy and has me lying in bed. I just can't see it from here right now, when I'm feeling so uninspired. And of couse, it's not something I ever direct my thoughts towards when I'm riding the wave!

How do you do it, Denise? How do you keep yourself going, up, up and up? Is there a specific FIR trick that you use? Or is there a way that you've been able to make yourself comfortable and gracious about that dippy time, let yourself have access to those good feelings, even if it might be in muted form? I want to get into the feel of that being inspired all the day, but I just can't seem to access it when I'm riding that dip.

Dear Firbee,
I'm so glad you asked this, because it helps me to get clarity on something that I've been playing with these past few days.

I think that it is the intention behind anything we do that determines how much peace or joy we will feel, therefore, playing the games works when it's done with an attitude or intention of joy and lightness and self love. When the games are played from a place of work or struggle or trying to avoid the negatives in life, they lose their efficacy.

With that in mind, we can ALSO approach the down times with a positive attitude. We can have an intention to feel peace and self love even during those times when we don't feel inspired or up or motivated or even very good at all.

So, in the spirit of play, I decided to create a game and name it the "Give yourself a Break" game. This is a GREAT game to play when you're not feeling up or inspired or connected. It's a total acceptance of yourself where you are, as you are(like you described the cold) and all day, any time you have a negative thought about yourself(self judgement) about not being up or on fire or whatever, you say, "Oh, wait. It's give myself a break day. I get to be this way all day and it's even good for my manifesting to let myself off the hook today."

You can even take out some cool crayons or colored pens and stickers and glitter and be cute about it and make yourself one of those big paper happy birthday banners and put it on the wall that says, "HAPPY GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK DAY, (Your Name)" ....try to have fun with it.

Any topic that comes up:

I'm not motivated..."It's give yourself a break day" I'm not inspired or uplifted...that's okay, "It's give yourself a break day".
etc. etc.

You make it an intention to ACCEPT YOURSELF IN YOUR NOW COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY AS YOU ARE, including not feeling that great.

The great thing about this is the fastest way to get back into feeling good is to accept yourself totally for feeling bad!

Now, I may differ a bit from Abraham on what I'm about to say(or maybe not, I'm sure someone can find a quote from them that would agree with this). But I believe that ups and downs are a part of this reality. I stopped pushing against them a while ago and my life has become much more consistently happy and smooth flowing. When I was new to LOA, I was a bit up and down, bipolar because I had it in my head that I was only supposed to have pleasant experiences/mind states for the rest of my life! HAHAHAHAHAHA! That makes me laugh now. I've had a lot of help from Holly(from the big list) and insight meditation and Abraham and other sources in Buddhism that say that contrast is inevitable(inner and outer), suffering is optional. And by that, it's our attitude about our inner and outer contrast that determines our real mood.

The most neutralizing force of a negative emotion I have EVER EVER experience is acceptance.

Think of acceptance like the chemical that neutralizes a stain in your carpet. Without that particular chemical of acceptance, that stain is really tough to get out.

So, I would love to come up with some more ACCEPTANCE games for us to really become more consistently happy and peaceful and not riding the extremes of the roller coaster.

You know one thing that really helps me is to know that when I'm in a bad mood or something bad happens to me, it doesn't mean anything wrong is happening. It's just LIFE!!! LIFE HAS ITS UPS AND DOWNS and the sooner I can ACCEPT that, the less I judge myself and the more joy I have on a consistent basis and the more I can deliberately create from that great foundation of acceptance.

SO on those days when you're not flying high, just decide, "Hey this is life! It happens to everyone. It's that law of polarity!" and then say, "I definitely signed up for contrast, but I don't have to suffer. I'm going to make a game out of SELF ACCEPTANCE today!"

and then hang your "HAPPY GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK DAY" banner and smile, knowing that you are Source having a human experience.

I love you,
Denise
