Now, I draw at least one Tarot card a day and interpret it. And this is how I do it.

There are 5 steps in the process that works for me:

1. Ask the question you want an answer to.
2. Shuffle the cards in a particular way.
3. Draw a card.
4. Describe the card in details.
5. Catch the reply to your answer.

Shuffling the Tarot Cards

I’ve played around with different ways to shuffle.

At first, I used the Casino Shuffle (or Riffle Shuffle). That will assure that you get reversed cards as well. I love to use reversed cards in my drawings, because they will tell the whole truth about the card you got.

I was afraid to ruin the cards, though, so I switched to a gentler method. I held the cards on the long side and did an Overhand Shuffle. That meant that I would have to make sure some cards were turned the other way, so I had spread them all out to begin with and done a Table Shuffle.

That way of doing it didn’t feel right though. But I did it for a while.

When it came to picking a card, I would repeat the question in my mind until I found a card.

Often, that felt… not comfortable. I kept asking myself, Is this the card? Nah, it isn’t. It doesn’t feel perfect. Is it this one? No… well, maybe, I’m not sure.

Here is a coffee maker I use:

When I got bored of shuffling, I would force myself to believe that now I had the right card, but I was always left with doubt.

Then from two different Tarot readers I learned two different ways to shuffle and draw. I combined them and this method works so well for me.

You can see it in this video:

In short, I ask the question.

Then I do a side-ways overhand shuffle, switching between putting a small stack of cards in front of the existing in my other hand and behind the existing. This ensures a thorough shuffle.

While I shuffle, I count the number of times I’ve gone through all the cards.

In the first shuffle, I go through them 3 times.

Then I split the deck into 3 stacks. I put them down on the table from the left towards the right and turn the middle one over 180°. Then I stack them from the right towards the left.

Now I shuffle 4 times more and flip over the top card from the top of the card and put it down, face up, on the table.

That’s my card.

Describing the Tarot Card

The way I do it is to describe the card upright, whether I got it reversed or not.

I will simply do my best to describe what I see in the card. Most of the time, I don’t try to understand. I just describe.

I will write down things like, “The queen sits on her throne in a lush meadow.”

I found that the more I got used to making those descriptions, the more I understood intuitively while describing the card.

Here’s an example from today where I drew Queen of Pentacles, Upright.

The queen sits on a gray throne. It’s decorated with pears and fruit on the seat and back. At the end of the armrest, there’s a ram’s head. On the side and the top, there’s a child or elf. Maybe a cherub. It’s not clear.

The queen holds a big pentacle in her lap. It’s gently resting there between her hands. She’s not afraid of losing it. It’s there and it’s hers to hold. She has her head bend towards it, but she’s staring up into the sky as if in deep thoughts or meditation.

She’s humbly dressed. She wears a golden crown with two red wings or feathers on top and a green veil that runs from the top of her head to her feet. She wears no jewelry. No necklace or bracelets. Just a simple white shirt and a loose, red, sleeveless dress and red-brown shoes. White for her virtue and red for her passion.

She has both feet on the ground in a lush meadow clad in autumn colors. A rabbit jumps into the picture and a tree behind her spreads its branches with green leaves and red flowers above her like a portal. Lilies grow next to her.

The sky is a clear and warm yellow and there is a volcano in the horizon as well as jagged mountain. Her journey hasn’t been an easy one, but she’s here now, sitting in perfect harmony and peace with herself.

A stream of water separates the meadow from the mountains. Her emotions may have made the difference in where she is now.

If there are many details in the card, I will often take a picture of it with my phone so I can enlarge the card and take in all the details.

Interpreting Your Card

This took me more than 30 years to learn…

I relied on books and descriptions for all that time. That would often lead to that I read the official card interpretation, but I was unable to relate it to my question or situation.

This book by Biddy Tarot almost changed it overnight.

Now the interpretation and the answer to my question will often come to me, bit by bit, while I describe the card.

Based on how I described the Queen of Pentacles above, this is the answer I got for my question, “What do I need to know today?”

That’s what I need to know. I need to be calm and confident. Yes, it has been a struggle, but overall, I’m here and I shouldn’t worry. No need to boast or become another person. Stay me, indifferent to nice clothes and jewelry. Take a break today and just think and be grateful.

Keep a Tarot Journal

Now, you may be asking: How do I know if I got the right interpretation?

It’s a good idea to keep a Tarot journal. Write down what card you drew and what question you asked.

Write down your description and your interpretation.

Then come back later and check. Did you get it right? Were there tiny adjustments? Or maybe big ones that you understand now that you look at the card again and know what happened?

This will help you get clearer answers in the future.

Use Cards You Can Easily Understand

When I chose a Tarot deck a few years ago, I wanted one that I found absolutely stunning.

I found it in the Shadowscape Tarot Deck.

That deck isn’t meant for reading reversed cards, though. I could get around that, but what I couldn’t get around as a beginner was…

That I didn’t understand any of the symbols. They didn’t speak to me.

Until then, I’d stayed away from Rider-Waite because… well, I didn’t find the pictures stunningly beautiful. They were more plain.

It wasn’t until I discovered how rich in symbols they are that I began to consider them.

Not only that. Those symbols are centuries old and we intuitively understand them, well, most of them at least, easily.

That’s why I ordered the Radiant Rider-Waite Tarot and chose to get my deck in a metal box that will keep them nice and like new.

At some point, I’ll also get the original Rider-Waite, but I really love the radiant colors in this deck. And I also appreciate the metal box that protects them well.

Yes, I had a book in front of me, telling me what each card meant, but connecting the dots? No. Just no.

Today, I do readings with confidence and I credit that to two things:

1. Finally finding the right Tarot deck for me and
2. Finally finding a book that used a method that just clicked.

It was like having a dirty curtain ripped away from blocking the path between me and a bright clearing in the forest. Finally, I got what it was all about, and now Tarot is helping me every time I’m in doubt or just want a little guidance or insight.

My First Deck Was a Gift

My husband back then noticed my interest in Tarot cards and gave me a book about it and a Tarot deck.

I read the book and then I wanted to try out what I’d learned with the cards he’d given me.

He told me he chose the deck because it was the most expensive and pretty among the choices he could find at the book store.

Imagine my surprise when I found that… these cards were different.

Normal Tarot decks contain the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Minor Arcane are divided into four sets:

• Cups
• Wands
• Swords
• Pentacles

Yeah, well, not the Thoth Tarot deck. That confused me from the start. How was I supposed to make any sense out of this?

If you like this style of Tarot cards, you can get it on Amazon.

My Second Tarot Deck Was My Choice but the Wrong One

I kept coming back to my interest in Tarot cards.

This time I wanted to make my own choice. I read more books and they all told me to find a deck I related to and get that.

So, I trawled blogs and shops and looked at all kinds of decks. Some were plain ugly in my opinion. Others were nice, but they all lacked something.

A lot of people liked the Marseille cards. At one point, I got a deck for free, but I never liked them.

Others swore to the Rider-Waite deck, but I didn’t get that either. They weren’t even pretty, I thought back then. Just ordinary and in many aspects looked like the Marseille cards.

That’s when I discovered the Shadowscapes Tarot deck and fell in love.

Ordering from Amazon is not that easy where I live. The delivery will sometimes be at the other end of town and I have no car. Or, if I’m lucky and the delivery man delivers them, then he cannot find the address. Yeah, living in a very old town has its downsides.

So, I had these cards on my wish list for a couple of years before I ordered them.

They are truly beautiful! I love the colors, the symbols, the amazing paintings… Their size could have been bigger and easier to see… but overall, I loved them. Still do.

Yet, I rarely use them.

I was still unable to understand what their meaning was without looking it up in the accompanying booklet. And if I had more than one card in a spread, I was lost.

Even today, I only use these cards from time to time because they are so pretty, but I need to get more experienced with Tarot reading first, I think. If you love them, you can find them on Amazon.

This Book Changed Everything for Me

I don’t remember how I found this book. Amazon probably showed it to me while I was browsing their site. Or I got an email with the recommendation.

I do know, though, that finding it changed my life! For the better.

For the first time in my life, this just clicked. I did not need to learn all cards by heart. I did not have to look every one of them up in a book.

Even when I made spreads, I understood the connection between the cards. After some training, my readings became more accurate and it gave me insights I have never gotten before.

I highly recommend this book. It will make your Tarot life much more interesting, easy and fun.

The Tarot Deck I’m Using Now

This deck has already given me so many answers and given me insights I otherwise wouldn’t have been aware of.

Right, I just told you that I found the Rider-Waite deck ordinary and boring. But that was before I learned to read Tarot the intuitive way.

Suddenly, what was hidden before became clear. Every card had meaning. Every detail on the card had a meaning.

Sure, you can use the official one that will tell you that a lily on a card means a pure mind, but the best tool is your own intuition. Use the symbols seen through your eyes. What does a white lily mean to you?

Thanks to how clean these cards are, it’s easy to catch the symbols. And yet, you’ll find new ones every time you look at a card. That’s great. The ones you missed the first time, may not have meant anything to you at that time. Now they do.

I use these cards every day and yet, they are still as new. I love that they came with a metal box I can keep them in.

Like my other cards, I wish they were bigger… But okay, this just makes me lean in closer to study the cards I draw.

I ordered this suit January 2, 2024, so I’ve had them for a year and look how nice they look, thanks to the metal box:

And every morning, I start my day by shuffling the cards and asking this question:

What do I need to learn today?

I save the card I picked and my interpretation in a Tarot journal and then during the day, I look out for signs of what I found. At the end of the day or the following day, I will read about the card again and see how it fit my day.

I love these cards so much that I would want to buy more, haha. You can find them on Amazon.

This should give you hope if you’ve been interested in Tarot. It took me 30 years to find out how to use the cards. Now I use them daily.

But how come that sometimes we want to manifest something, and it feels easy, and it appears like magic out of nowhere from one day to the next? And at other times, it evades us when we need it the most?

What is the difference?

And more importantly: how can we change it so that it becomes foul proof every time?

In this article, you’ll find our best manifestation advice ever.

Gratitude Can Move Mountains When Done Right

Be grateful for what you have. And be grateful for what you’re about to receive.

It can seem challenging at times to be grateful.

·      Maybe we have a car that breaks down almost daily.

·      Maybe we live in an apartment that is freezing cold during winter and glowing hot during summer.

·      Maybe we’re in a toxic relationship or we just lost a person dear to us.

There are enough occasions to feel unhappy and when that happens, how do we produce gratitude?

If you hate your home, how can you feel grateful enough about it to change your settings? How can you express gratitude without sounding like a fake?

And how does that change anything, even if you could?

How to Feel Grateful When Things Are Bad

It’s easy to feel grateful when things are good. But what when they are not? What when you hate the way you’re living, your health is bad, your relationship is horrible, and you don’t even have enough money to buy a new pair of shoes?

Then it’s time to get creative. And there are two ways you can get around it.

The first way is to find the positive inside the negative. Nothing is completely bad. There is something good in every experience. You just need to dig it out.

For example, if your spouse left you, think of the good times you’ve experienced together. Or see this as a chance to meet someone else that you’ll be more happy with.

If you live in a house you hate, then find the things you like about it. Does it have nice windows or a bright garden? What made you move into that house in the first place? There has to be something that you liked about it back then. And even though that’s now overshadowed by negative things, pull it forth.

The second way is to find other things that you can be grateful for.

If everything is really bad… You have a stack of unpaid bills and no money. You’re obese and your health could be better. Then appreciate your friends, family or pets.

Find the things that bring you joy and ignore the ones that don’t. And if you cannot think of anything in that moment, then mentally go through your day and visualize everything you do from early morning and until you go to bed.

Then pick everything that is good from those hours. There are things. You just need to find them.

Once you’ve found one or two things, you’re grateful for, it’s time to find what you want to manifest.

Choose Your Goals Wisely

What is it that you really want?

A new car? A better relationship? A new home or spouse?

Be precise about what you want and leave unimportant details to the Universe.

While you’re still practicing manifestations, it can help to choose goals that seem more realistic and faster to reach at the beginning.

Instead of going for $100,000 in a day, make it a goal to make an extra $100 this week.

Instead of wanting that house on the beach, go for that new phone you’ve been eyeing.

Start with one goal in mind. And then either go for something new daily or keep the same goal until you get it. Do what feels best for you.

Next up is a miraculous way to make sure you show your gratitude the best way.

Sandwich Your Gratitude Affirmations

It’s important that you believe in your gratitude affirmations.

If you said, “I’m so grateful now that I make $10,000 per month and I live in a house on the beach and I’m married to the most wonderful person,” you may not believe it.

And that vibration is what the Universe will catch.

“This is so fake.”

If, however, you sandwich your wish in between two things you already have and are grateful for, now all three affirmations will seem genuine. Both to you and the Universe.

You simply find 2 things you’re grateful for that you already have and then in between them say an affirmation of gratitude as if you already had that, too.

Let’s say you’re not happy about your home, but it gives you shelter, so you’re grateful for the roof over your head.

You really, really want a new phone. And you love your pet.

“I’m so grateful for having a roof over my head and for my new, wonderful phone that I love to use, and for having the best pet in the world.”

Now that you have your sandwich affirmations, you need to use them the correct way.

Visualize with Emotion

“Feeling Is the Secret” said Neville Goddard in his book from 1944. When you visualize with emotion, your chances of manifesting your goals just sky-rocketed.

And you’ve probably already tried. You’ve seen yourself living inside your dream house with your dream spouse and your dream health. It’s not as easy as it sounds. Because how would you feel if it were real? Would you be over the moon, jumping up and down, raising your fists and yelling, “YES!” at the top of your lungs?

Would you look awkward doing that simulation if you weren’t alone?

Probably, yes, and you wouldn’t need to either.

Visualizing with emotion can be done just by relaxing in a comfortable chair with closed eyes and the right sound file playing in your headphones.

The best sound files for this purpose are binaural beats and music or nature sounds and no spoken or song words.

And there you have it – our best manifestation advice ever.

Be grateful for what you have and what you want to manifest.

Sandwich your gratitude affirmations.

Visualize with emotion.

And yet, even though you visualized and did everything books and The Secret told you to do, nothing worked? I’ve experienced that. It’s especially annoying when you need money now and nothing happens.

That’s why I interviewed a Law of Attraction expert and asked: Why isn’t the Law of Attraction manifesting for me?

He gave me the following 5 reasons.

Reason #1 You’re unclear on what you truly want

Perhaps I’m not that clear, yes.

It’s often hard to express exactly what you want, right? Just try to use an AI tool to create images and see how similar the result is to what you had in mind. For me it was not at all close.

But here’s what the expert said:

Your desires MUST be burning obsessions in your heart. Merely wishing for something is not enough. To truly visualize and emotionally feel yourself achieving your goal, you must be passionate about it.

Okay, that makes sense to me.

If you’re not passionate about getting something, it means you’re not really feeling it. And Neville Goddard said that “feeling is the secret.” It’s the secret to manifesting what you desire.

Let’s assume you’re 60 pounds overweight and you wish to become slim. You want to look great in a bikini and turn heads at the beach.

However, if you merely wish for it, your visualization exercises will be weak and short-lived. After a while, you’ll quit because it no longer excites you.

But if you obsess about it, you’ll know exactly what weight you need to see on the scale; you’ll know the color of your bikini and you’ll even know what beach you’ll be sunbathing at.

That is obsession. If others tell you that you’re too absorbed over your goal, rest assured that you’re on the right track.

Your clarity and desire for what you want will color your view of life and impact your daily actions and habits. This is imperative for manifesting what you want.

Which brings us to the next point…

Reason #2 Lack of action

Did you watch The Secret?

I watched it. Many times. And I read the book.

The Secret made the entire law of attraction process look easy.

Here’s a hard truth – it isn’t easy. Far from it. Simple, perhaps, but not easy.

Every goal comes with an invisible price attached to it.

To achieve the goal, you’ll have to pay the price. Whether you do it gladly and willingly… or whether you grunt and cuss all the way through – one constant remains – the price must be paid.

And only you can pay it.

My expert continued:

If we follow the earlier example about the bikini body, visualizing the end-result is only half the battle. The other half is action.

Attraction = attract + action

Joe Vitale repeated often, “Take inspired action.” I like that saying. And it has worked for me many times.

You’ll need to clean up your diet, hit the gym and focus on the daily habits which are in alignment with your goal.

This makes sense to me.

Sitting on a mat and chanting “Oohmmmmmm!” while your picture yourself with a nice body is not enough. You must put in the sweat equity.

I once dropped 44 lbs (20 kg) in 90 days with the Law of Attraction.

That was not through visualization alone. It was thanks to taking inspired action at the same time. And I was certainly passionate about this project.

This applies to any goal – whether it’s to become a millionaire or own a Bugatti or have a wonderful marriage… or anything. The price must be paid.

The law of attraction works, but only if you do the work. The self-help gurus will tell you that effort is not required. They’ll tell you that faith alone is enough.

The reason they spout this self-serving nonsense is because it sells their books and courses… and makes them wealthy. Everyone wants to hear about easy riches and easy success. That’s what sells, but it’s not what works.

Always remember this: If it was so easy, everyone would be fit, rich and successful.

But that’s not the setup of the universe.

Like the old proverb goes, “A sluggard’s appetite is never filled, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.”

Now that we’ve established that visualization and belief go with action… it’s important to know that these alone are not enough for manifestation.

You’re probably thinking, “No way. There’s more?”

Yes, there is…

Reason #3 Incongruence in your habits

Habits are hard to change.

That’s one reason there are a multitude of books about changing habits, building good habits and getting rid of bad habits. If it had been easy, people wouldn’t need books. They wouldn’t need help.

Why would habits affect our manifestation skills?

This is what my LOA expert friend says about it:

Back to the bikini goal again.

Let’s assume that Jane truly knows what she wants and she’s eating clean and hitting the gym every other day. She feels like she’s on track to achieving her goal and yet sees hardly any progress.

Why is this the case?

Simple. One or more of her habits are holding her back. They’re not in alignment or congruent with her heart’s desires.

In other words: Jane gets betrayed by her own habits. But how?

Jane could be eating clean, but she’s consuming surplus calories and gaining weight instead of losing it. Or she may go to the gym daily, but her workouts lack the intensity required to stimulate change in the body.

Back when I lost 44 lbs in 3 months, I also reduced my caloric intake.

I no longer do that. I used the Law of Attraction to attract the perfect diet for me. One I didn’t have to buy.

One that helped me drop 76 lbs (34.3 kg) easily and without ever feeling hungry.

But let’s go on with my exerpt’s words.

Maybe she sleeps late after binge watching Netflix and her body doesn’t get the required rest to drop the weight.

Her habits are not conducive or harmonious with her goals. For every two steps forward she takes, she’s taking two or even three steps back.

Until all her habits and actions are in alignment with her goal, she’ll struggle to make progress. Your habits and actions must be correct and in congruence with your goal.

And that brings us to the next reason why the law of attraction is failing you…

Reason #4 Inconsistency

Remember how we said that your desire must be an obsession?

How can you be consistent? What must you do? According to my expert, this is it:

You must visualize daily. Even 2-3 minutes a day will suffice. You don’t want to overdo it.

When I manifested my dream dog, I didn’t time the visualization.

Instead, I did it spread over most of the day. While I was working. While I was making tea.

At any moment, I saw her walking next to me.

I think it took around a month, before I held her in my arms the first time. And just like I’d visualized, she would follow me around everywhere. She’s the perfect dog for me.

You’ll want to be consistent with your actions and habits. Sporadic actions and going through the process half-heartedly and intermittently will sabotage your success.

Focus on being consistent if you want to make your dreams a reality.

However, even if you’re consistent… there’s still one final secret within The Secret that many are not doing…

Reason #5 They’re not working backwards

What does working backwards mean?

That’s what I asked my expert friend. He leaned back and started to explain.

It’s a simple concept BUT it makes all the difference.

Most people who visualize what they want, do so from a position of someone who is looking ahead. They’re aware of where they are and look at the goal as something to be achieved in future.

This is a HUGE mistake.

You must work backwards. This basically means that you’ll act as though you’ve already achieved your goal.

Ah…

Just like I did when I manifested my dog. I chose that method by chance. Or did I?

For the woman who is overweight and wants a bikini body, she’ll see herself already lean and shapely. She’ll shop for the bikini; she’ll choose the beach she’s going to visit and so on.

In her mind, she envisions herself possessing the physique of a sculpted Greek deity… and don’t you tell her otherwise.

When faced with a plate of donuts, she won’t gorge on them because she’s lean and that’s not what someone with an athletic silhouette would do.

Her actions are in alignment with her goal because her self-image is who she wants to be – NOT who she currently is.

Because she’s true to her future self, her current actions and trajectory are altered so that she reaches her goal.

You MUST forget your current reality and situation because your where you are now does NOT affect or reflect your future reality.

That’s not easy, of course.

But get started. Notice when you forget about this and then get back into being the future you instead of being who you are now.

Keep the ‘future you’ constantly in your thoughts and you’ll become that person.
Walk and talk like you’re already where you want to be. If you can do this, you’ll automatically start changing your habits, the way you think, the words you use and everything else that’s holding you back.

What you did before got you to where you are now. To go further, you’ve got to be different.

Your subconscious mind already knows what it needs to do. You just need to get out of your own way. The best way to do that will be to act like the future you… and the universe will send you all the signs and opportunities you’ll need.

This is the MOST IMPORTANT step of getting the Law of Attraction to work for you.

Indeed.

Be aware of the reasons mentioned above and eliminate them from your life. You’ll be amazed at how fast you start manifesting your goals and desires.

“Everything you can imagine is real.” – Rumi

But I managed to turn it around and gain a positive result from it. One of the goals I obtained was to lose quite a lot of weight. 20 kg (44 lbs) over a period of only three months, and most of the weight loss stayed off permanently.

I have the Law of Attraction to thank for this victory, and if you are in a fight against your weight, you can win, too.

First of all, I decided to lose weight. I decided to lose a lot of fat in a short period of time, and to become good looking and attractive as fast as possible. I even put a time limit on my goal.

Important Step

Then I took action.

I cut down my food intake from large portions to small portions. Since I was going through this bad period, I didn’t want to enjoy myself. Not even when I was eating.

So instead of eating for lust, I only ate enough to survive.

Every single day I also took a good walk. For at least 30 minutes I walked in a fast pace, whether it was raining, or the sun was shining. I did that to get away from my problems, to let the air in and clear my mind from negative thoughts.

Through movements, I improved my mood.

I also did lots of meditations daily. Not about the weight loss, but about my problems. I feel certain, though, that breathing consciously and meditating contributed a lot to solve my weight problem, too.

Expect Miracles

Every morning I stood up on the scale, and I expected it to show 1 kg less than the day before.

It wasn’t something I hoped for or wished for. It was something I expected. And that made all the difference.

Some mornings the weight hadn’t changed.

Some mornings it was almost 2 kg’s less than before. Always the weight kept going in the right direction, which didn’t surprise me at all. I took it for granted, and never doubted it for a second.

After three months, I had lost 20 kg, which obviously is less than one kg per day, but I was satisfied with the result.

The weight loss made me feel well, and it showed. As by a miracle, my bad times were over, things changed. Life was good again.

You can obtain a permanent weight loss with the help of the Law of Attraction.

Just set a goal. Do lots of meditations and visualizations. And take inspired ation.

Expect miracles to happen.

They do, you know.

You can read the full story here. They say you should listen to the sound for 30 days to make extra money. It’s easy to claim that it works…

But does it?

I decided to take them up on their challenge and listened to the 7-minute sound file every day for 30 days.

I recorded all unexpected money that came in.

I used a Notion template for this. It served two purposes: 1) It automatically created a new entry for me every day to make sure I remembered it. 2) It allowed me to track the extra income and its source.

(My screenshot doesn’t show the source.)

That’s a total of $2,570.65 in unexpected money that came in during the 30 days. I’ve received some today (day 31) but I haven’t listened to the Wealth DNA Code yet today and I wanted this to show only the first 30 days.

This Is Not Scientific Proof that the Wealth DNA Code Works

It would have been a lot better, if I had tracked unexpected money during 30 days first without listening to the sound file. And then tracked the next 30 days while listening to the sound file.

But I didn’t, and now it’s too late.

From memory, though, I don’t remember nothing even close to that amount of unexpected money showing up ever before.

The money came in from different sources. Some I had no idea about. Some I’d forgotten and which suddenly paid now, several months after they should have.

I didn’t count my normal income. Only the unexpected income.

That result, $2,570.65, for listening to a 7-minute sound file every day is enough for me to continue doing so.

This is not scientific proof. But I feel convinced that it works.

You can read more about the Wealth DNA Code here and try it out for yourself for 60 days: https://clq.cx/wealthdna

I would love to hear from you in the comments after 30 days how much extra you received.

I know it’s way too early to jump to any conclusions, but tonight, I sat down and found the unexpected money I’d received the last four days.

Just look at those numbers… That’s $1,174.68 EXTRA in 4 days.

Unexpected money.

I will tell you more later when I’ve done this for 30 days, because perhaps it’s just a fluke. I’ll continue to keep track.

All it takes is for me to sit and listen to a specific sound file for 7 minutes every day. I do it in the morning. Sometimes I do it before I fall asleep, too. I’ve done that twice, because the sound is really pleasant.

Two days ago, my dog wanted me to go to the balcony with her. We live at ground-level to one side and one floor above to the other. And down there are often cats, and she loves cats.

That day, I sat down on my beach chair with my wireless earplugs on and my phone in hand.

Then a cat ran past so fast that we only saw a glimpse of it. That’s not normal.

I started the player but before I could close my eyes, and big dog came running after the cat. A dark Eurasier look-a-like. It was followed by a small dog with piranha teeth and its lower jaw pointing out.

Yf yf yf, the little dog said when it saw my dog.

“Ha ha ha,” Nefnef replied from the balcony. (She doesn’t bark. Or yf. Or yap.)

I closed my eyes and listened to the xylophone sounds, the bird chirps in the audio file, the notes and the vibration, while outside there were yf yf yf and ha ha ha. I smiled and felt zen and in harmony with the world.

I tell you… that sound is special. But again – more later. There’s 26 more days to go.

Hi there 🙂 How has your week been? Have you been practicing what you’ve learned during the first week of the course?

I did. Well, this is the second time I go through week 1, and I could feel a remarkable difference.

You know that feeling when something hurts you or scares you? And you feel that nervous sensation in your stomach?

That’s what I felt the first time I went through week 1 last year.

This time, I felt calm. But this is what you need to do.

During this first week, you need to find your biggest mental habits that blocks you from having enough money.

Inside “Allow Abundance”, Wendy Betterini helps you with that, and she also helps with the follow-up part: Letting go.

I enjoyed listening to the relaxation and meditation training on the MP3 file, and as always I had plenty of dreams in the following time.

This means that it got hold of something.

I made status over our income in April and May so I have something to compare with later. But I can feel a huge difference from the first time I did this course.

Back then, I was so worried… Will we make enough money in time to pay our bills and rent?

And even when we’d made lots of money, I was worried: Will they arrive in time? I had to transfer them from PayPal to our bank account.

When I worried, it happened very often that the transfer was one day late, which meant fees and more fees in the bank.

Sigh…

Luckily, and thanks to what I’ve learned about allowing abundance, these days are over!

Yay!

Okay, I’m ready to start on week 2 tomorrow. I’m looking forward to this. Before the end of the year, our financial situation should look quite differently from last year.

Awesome!

Do you have comments or questions? You know it’ll make me happy to read about them. Just let me know in the comments.

Hi there 🙂 I don’t know when you discovered the Law of Attraction, but for me it started many years ago. I discovered that I could “see into the future” and predict the exact questions or topics I would get for exam.

That was very handy, I can assure you.

Soon after, I discovered the Silva Method (or Silva Mind Control), and for the first time in my life I started to visualize on purpose.

I’ve been successful in manifesting a lot of things, and I’ve never been so poor that I had to live on the streets, but I’ve had a lot of debt, and I kept running into financial problems, which wasn’t my fault, but which cost me a lot of money.

I was just over broke.

Even though things have gotten much better, we still aren’t swimming in money.

Today, I decided to change that situation, and I’m going to keep a journal of my progress and share it with you here.

Waiting for Our Own Money

One of the things that has really haunted me was having to wait for my own money. It happened so many times: People didn’t pay our invoices, or checks got lost in the mail, and things like that.

Every time, it cost me money to fees, bank fees, and other fees.

One lost check cost us more than $1,500… and our economy wasn’t too good to begin with, after we settled down in a foreign country.

And it happened so often that PayPal used one more day to transfer money, so a check would be cashed in the meantime, bringing our bank account into a deficit, so we had to pay fees – HUGE fees – and even got our checks and credit cards blocked more than once because of this.

When we couldn’t use credit cards, it was more expensive to live, because we had to go to special gas stations. We couldn’t buy cheaper on the Internet and things like that.

It was really frustrating, and I couldn’t understand why it kept happening.

I mean, here I was, I had studied knowledge about the Law of Attraction for years. I made a lot of money online. And every time it started to go in the right direction, and we could pay off some of our debt (caused by other waiting-for-our-money-moments) WLAM! It happened again.

More than once we had to sue people to get paid. And more than once it ended up costing almost as much as we got.

A lot of times we just had to give up, like in 2000, where we paid a lot of money for domain hosting, and the host just stopped… Money lost. Or my husband’s employer who never paid for the 6 months work he should have been paid for.

You cannot believe the number of external unexpected problems we kept running into. And all that used us up, so we had less energy to work and make money.

It also meant that we felt the need to treat ourselves good, and relax a bit. We were working from early morning to late night, seven days per week. It tired us. So we went out to eat on restaurants at least twice per week.

Can you imagine what that meant to our spending?

Where Am I Now?

We haven’t had to wait for money for a long time now. Things definitely have improved.

Our income is growing. But we’re still just making it. We haven’t saved up to get our dream house, so we live in a rented house.

We live a comfortable life, and the only unpaid bills we have are bills we might not have to pay (long story, and it will take time to contact authorities and things like that).

We only have a little debt, which was caused by a sudden illness where my husband had to go to the hospital, and his insurance wasn’t alright for strange reasons. We’ve paid most of that back, and in a few months, it’s gone.

Last year in the autumn, we ran into the last “waiting for our money” problems. We had lend money to our son, and he was about to pay us back, when he lost his job. He was without job for a while, had nothing saved up, so we had to pay for his rent and electricity on top of his debts to us, and of course we invited him to eat with us every day.

Then we couldn’t pay our credit cards at the end of the month, and that cost fees, and more fees, and then we couldn’t pay the rent, and everything started to glitch again.

That’s when I had enough!

I started on a weekly program called “Allow Abundance”, and after I’ve been using it for a few weeks, I had a big revelation, which I wrote about here in “Money is the Root of All Evil” – Ha! I’m Above That – But I Didn’t See This One Coming.

I had a lot of work to do to get rid of my money triggers, so when next week’s course was available, I postponed working on it. And then a new week came and went, and another one…

And I’m still where I left that course.

I haven’t had any set-backs since that revelation, but I’m not filthy rich either. And I want to be! I want to be able to buy that house next to the sea. I want to be able to pay somebody to take care of paying our bills (it takes me a long time to do it, because the sites are in Hebrew here, and I’m not fluent in Hebrew). I want to have enough money to pay for somebody to clean the house. And especially, I want us to get cool tablets, too, when I figure out which one we should buy.

My Documented Journey – a 26-Week Abundance Challenge

I’m convinced that the Allow Abundance course can bring me to the level I want to be at. Of course, I’ll combine it with taking action and keep working in my business, but I’ll start reading, listening, and doing the weekly tasks from the course.

And I’ll document my progress here.

Do you want to join me in the challenge?

Then get “Allow Abundance”, and start working on week 1 now.

You can join at any time, of course, but make sure to comment here weekly on your progress.

You can quit the program at any time, but if things work out for you as it did for me, you should notice a different within a few weeks. Maybe even at once. It’s that powerful!

Are you in? Do you dare end your financial struggle now and become rich? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments. Also if you’re filled with doubts like “this can’t work” or “I’ve always been poor, so I’ll always be poor”. Write what you think, and let’s help each other.

I’m not sure, but I think it’s in “The Secret” they talk about how many people believe that money is the root of all evil. And how we’re taught that rich people are bad!

And I just felt proud, because I didn’t think that rich people were bad. And I certainly didn’t believe that money was the root of all evil.

On the contrary, I believe that you need to have money enough to do good. If you’re poor, other people have to help you. If you’re rich, you can help others.

So I felt good about that.

But ha! I didn’t see this one coming

I had a really HUGE money trigger, and I wasn’t even aware of it.

The event that opened my eyes was reading one of the weekly lessons from Wendy Betterini. I’m following her course called “Allow Abundance“, and I was really shocked to discover that I’ve had this huge money trigger for years.

You might have it, too, or you might have others. Wendy taught me how to find my money triggers, and this  is what I digged up.

Shame!

And denials!

This is what I discovered about myself and a HUGE money trigger.

Whenever I had something of value, and people complimented me for it, I would either deny its value or lie about it.

“It’s nothing” – “I got it as a gift” – “I bought it cheap”…

I came up with all sorts of excuses and lies. Not once did I admit that I had a luxury item like a Montblanc ballpen, a Dupont lighter, an iRobot vacuum cleaner, an iPod, an iPhone or any of the other expensive items I have.

I always had an excuse, because I didn’t want to hurt the feelings of the other person.

I felt ashamed about having enough money to afford such luxury items. Really ashamed.

And it was only while reading and listening to the lessons in Wendy’s course that I realised that I had a major problem there.

This might sound weird, but it’s only been a few weeks since I made this discovery, and things have changed since then.

I’ve been aware of the Law of Attraction for many years, and I thought I had it all right. And I made money and I got good things. And all the time, I would also get these setbacks…

I never understood why I got them, until now

Since I had this revelation, I haven’t had one setback!

Clearing up your money triggers work. You should do it.
