Manifesting Money
I can't believe I'm posting this... :oops:
Long story short, my family of five is well below the poverty line, not a lot of job opportunities in rural Maine, I'm only working 20 hours a week at a minimum wage job. We're crammed into a two-bedroom apartment because that's all we can afford. Last month my wife and I sat down and had a serious discussion about whether to buy diapers or come up short on the rent. I do not like having these discussions.
I've manifested $1,000 once, and only once, when life was much easier. Now I am frankly too distressed to even really try.
My guides assure me that everything will be okay and then promptly disappear, as is their way, I suppose.
So... any advice... I guess? I try writing down affirmations and doing them daily, but nothing is going on. Like I said, most of my affirmations are tinged with negativity because of the difficult living situation.

Re: Manifesting Money
I would say, try to remember the past incident and isolate the feeling of getting this money, if possible- make it a part of your meditation, and try to get into a 'connecting with Spirit' type of mode first, before going into the specific. I think step 2 is even more important than step one.

Hi dreaming90 ,
I think that if you've manifested money once you can do it again , you just need to whittle off the negativity around that as in "but back then this was this and that was that" just let go of what was different and that's the reason why you manifested and have it at it again as in "been there done it and now doing it again".
I don't do affirmations they feel too corny and very frankly feel "fake" others can obviously disagree as is their right , but for me they are just too cheesy so your'e obviously not alone in affirmations falling short of desired effect.
I'm going to write in more later but atm i'm unwell to the point of barely being able to sit up and type , but will drop in with more input for sure :-)

Re: Manifesting Money
You can do them in your head, you know. So you don't have to feel cheesy while doing them.
Since in my house we have the same beliefs, I have cleverly placed affirmations in places where the family can see them- bathroom mirror, the office, the bedrooms, so we benefit and no one else has to look at us funny.

Re: Manifesting Money
Well, here's the story behind the $1,000 I manifested.
I watched The Secret after I heard a friend talk about it and thought it was a little too cheesy and New Age-y for my tastes. But, I decided to give it a shot, since that was only fair. I wrote down an affirmation that was something like, "I will receive $1,000 of unexpected income within the next 30 days." I read this affirmation daily, but soon grew bored and frustrated, so I threw it out.
When we were working on our budget for the next month, we found that we had $950 more than we expected. I was quite surprised by this. I said "So, that's like $1,000 in unexpected income," to which my wife agreed.
But now, there are many things in life that just aren't going well. It's more than just money. But right now, paying the bills is my first priority, so I need to find a way to manifest that money again...

Re: Manifesting Money
Very recently, I'd probably manifested the "possibilty" to get money which I also desperately need. A dream the night before also 'announced' this possibility to me (with me not being aware then) and afterwards it happened 'really' in the physical and it dawned on me what the dream was about really: a preparation (with "other people") for this occasion to come about.
It seems though that I let it pass due to attached 'bad karma' or a 'bad feel', at least in my view. So the occasion seems to have passed and I am even happy about it. Most of it is to finance my healer path (and be able to rent a flat of my own again) so the goal is already a good ('karma') one. But the means wasn't good, it didn't feel good to me. It seems it was my (subconscious or even conscious) 'decision' not to accept and take it thus because it didn't feel too right to me.
I'm also, like you, still trying hard to get money by 'good karma' but it seems difficult. I'm actually trying for a long time now without success to reach sth with good karma (referring to the way / means to get the money).

Re: Manifesting Money
Many, many, years ago, I knew a English person who became a Russian Orthodox monk. He once said to me, "When we're short of money, we give some money away. We always get more back afterwards. It never fails!"
Worth a try? Perhaps you could do some good deeds, if you can't afford to donate money? Perhaps putting some good karma into the universe will bring you back something you desperately need? Warmest best wishes to you, and positive thoughts for a rapid improvement in your situation.

Re: Manifesting Money
It's old-fashioned metaphysics, also known as "the law of circulation". Here are two examples of the mention of this metaphysical 'law'.

A bit cheesily explained, but there's another way to explain it:
The universe abhors a vacuum. Get rid of something and something else will come into your life to fill the space that the other thing occupied. If you fear you don't have enough to give, give something of similar quality. That's the general gist.
