The Power of Visualisation

While listening to a Les Brown talk about visualisation as a technique to manifest your dreams, I suddenly remembered the sequence of events that led to me having a new car today. It absolutely blew my mind at how quickly everything happened. Let me start at the beginning…

It started in early August. In just about every spiritual or mind power type group I belonged to on Facebook, the movie, ‘The Secret’ on Netflix was casually mentioned which planted a seed in my brain. Mid August Alex went away for the weekend. I decided to watch the movie. They spoke about visualising a car in order to manifest it. My Toyota Tazz was 17 years old. It was time for a new one but I was still reluctant to let of it. I started using the visualisation technique anyway trusting that when the time was right, I would let go and find a car I love that I could afford.

A week later, a friend came to visit and, without me mentioning that I had started visualising a new car, he started talking about me getting a new car because mine is too old. He went so far as to search for cars on the internet for me and had intended on taking me to test drive a few the next day but this didn’t work out as planned. I didn’t say anything to him but I noted the coincidence and filed it away.

The following weekend, my son and I were on our way home from a movie. While waiting for the traffic light to change, we heard brakes and then bang! Somebody had slammed into us from the back. Fortunately we were not hurt and the car was still drivable. I got home and knew in my heart that the time had come to part with my beloved Tazz. This accident was the Universe giving me a shove forward. Literally! I didn’t even bother getting angry about the accident. In my fear of the unknown, I held onto my car until the second to last day before the insurance cut off date for claims. I had searched for other options to keep the car because I knew that the insurance would write it off. They did write it off of course and I was so surprised to be paid out more than I had been offered in cash the year before by a few random buyers. Yes the Universe has been sending me signs for a while but I had been stubborn about letting the car go.

In the space of 3 weeks, I was guided to let go of my Tazz so that a new car could come into my world. Now I have called out the power of visualisation because I believe that when I did that exercise, I was indicating to the Universe that I was ready to embrace a new car (finally) so the Universe made it happen. Nothing will come to you unless you let it. By visualising and searching for cars on the internet, I was allowing it. Today I have a zippy Suzuki. I so enjoyed the test drive that I knew she was the one.

This year I have marveled at how the Universe has made things happen in my life. Once I had made a decision and acted on it, things have started happening. People come into my life, needed information flows to me and either the money needed arrives or I receive a discount to make it affordable to me. My faith is getting stronger every day. The Universe has my back people and it feels fantastic! I can’t believe it has taken me this long to get this 🙈. I am so grateful for all my blessings and especially my new car.

Of course, there are things that I have put out there but they haven’t manifested yet. That’s ok because I know that it will come when I need it or I will receive something even better. What have you manifested this year? Don’t think you have? I invite you to look back over this year and think of all the times you made a decision about something and the right people or things came into your life to make it happen. Let me know what you find.

My Month of Gratitude: Day 27

My Month of Gratitude: Day 26

I was listening to Les Brown’s “The Power of Purpose” on Audible and he spoke about the importance of keeping your commitments to yourself. That’s when I realised that I had not being as disciplined as previous years in keeping my commitment to be grateful for something everyday. So here I am, seeing it through because I want to. Because it brings me joy and a sense of awe at all when I think of all the things I can be grateful for, both big and small.

🌼Today I am grateful for so much. A wonderfulChristmas spent with family. The means to purchase the one gift that my son really wanted. Safe travels to and from my sister’s place. My family’s health which allowed us to spend Christmas together. This time that I have to myself because my son unexpectedly ended up spending his holiday with his dad’s family. My neighbours for the wonderful impromptu conversations. I have so much to be grateful for. Thank you God🌼

I didn’t really take any pics this Christmas. Below is a collage of the only pics I took. I lived in the moment and completely forgot about my phone and it was just awesome. The pudding was a traditional Christmas pudding that my late mum used to make for us every single Christmas. This was the first time I made it and, thankfully, it tasted just like hers. I was so glad and very grateful to be able to bring an element of the Christmas she created for us into our celebration yesterday. For my efforts I found a R5 in my pudding. 😁😁

A few memories from this Christmas…
