Power of FANTASY!!!
The Expensive Car
It began when I felt bogged down by debt. I was a struggling single mom with an over priced car, the payment of which was more than rent! I’d bought it in California and then moved back to Kentucky with it. Now it had depreciated and this kept me trapped because I owed the bank more than it’s worth.
I spent an afternoon whining about my problem to Minnie. After a while of listening to me lament about my situation, she told me what I needed to do. “Take a blank piece of paper and tonight before you go to sleep, begin to write over and over exactly what you desire. Don’t get too specific because the details will work themselves out, but write down in general what you desire. You want to be free of debt. Obviously your car is a primary debt, but rather than be too specific about the car, stick to the part about your debt. Write down, over and over, ‘I am free of debt and I am joyful and happy because I am free of debt.’ Write this down until you fill up an entire page or several pages. Until you believe what you are writing, until feel this is absolutely true. You can hang this on the wall in your bathroom if you need to. When you are able to read these lines and feel as if this is true, it will be true.”
I had nothing to lose by doing this and so I went home that night and did as she suggested. I wrote down a version of her sentence which resonated with me, which was, “I deserve to be debt free. I am now debt free”. Minnie would not have agreed with the word ‘deserve’, but I felt it resonated with me well. After about an hour of repetition with this sentence, I began to feel as if this was true and set my pad of paper on the floor by the bed. I’d used my ‘imagination muscles’ to fantasize as if I was debt free. I fell asleep, certain I was free of debt. I felt at peace, because I had ‘no debt.’
The next morning I drove to work feeling happy. I was feeling free of debt even as I entered the classroom where I taught Head Start. Within five minutes one of the parents of a child in my classroom, knocked on the door and beckoned me over. “Was that your car parked outside?” She asked.
“WAS that my car?” I repeated back, and then ran to the front door of our building to see that my legally parked car had been smashed by a passing Cadillac whose driver was under aged without a license. I suppressed the urge to jump up and down for joy! This was a response to my affirmations of being debt free, because my full insurance would pay for a totaled legally parked car, and I could then get on with my life and buy a new one. The tow truck driver assured me that my car had been totaled, and my insurance nearly paid for it all. Within a week I was buying a smaller, more affordable car no cash down and very low interest payments. I wasn’t completely debt free, but the ‘monkey on my back’ of an overpriced car had vanished overnight, not simply by coincidence.
The technique works in varying degrees every time though it must be created on an emotional level ‘knowing’ that what is desired is already truth. Stay focused on how it feels to have your desire occurring NOW, on what it FEELS like to have the object already here manifested. Feel satisfied and joyful that your desire is fulfilled and release control of specific details, trusting all will be provided for the highest good of all concerned. Finally, spend time in a state of thankful meditation as if you have already received your desired request.
In her book Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting Lynn Grabhorn explains how this technique works better than any explanation I’ve heard: This technique works to manifest and speed up meeting someone for a new relationship. The key here is to fantasize consistently about what you want, no specific person because you can never control a person. I have created tragic situations by bring a person I wanted to me when guides warned me repeatedly it was not healthy for me. Rather focus on a perfect relationship for you by fantasizing what it FEELS like to experience all the things you desire. Don't fall asleep until you BELIEVE, FEEL and KNOW that it’s actually occurring NOW. When you begin to believe your request has been answered on a consistent basis, and send out thanks for the desired outcome, your desire will manifest in life.
