How do you manifest what you want in life...? ;)

A recent lovely visitor to our home was asking me how I went about manifesting living here on this land. It was an interesting question and one that I realised I had never looked into very clearly...I felt unsure how exactly to explain it...I knew it was something to do with having a vision and going with the flow...it felt a little tricky to express though...then recently, Mr. M and I were listening to a fabulously inspiring CD series and in one part of it, the speaker suddenly started to share that there are three primary paths for manifesting things that we want in our lives:

1. We can be very clear and specific about EXACTLY what we want - all the details, colours, smells, textures and so on...e.g. "I want a new bright green bike from this company, with excellent shocks, eight gears, a basket, mud guards etc."

2. We can create a more general vision of what we want...e.g. "I would love a warm new winter jacket".

3. We can choose to live as consistently as possible in a state of genuine happiness, trusting that all that flows to and through us is contributing to our highest and best experience... e.g. "I want to be happy and trust that the Universe supports me in this."

WOW, I love it, I had never heard the 'logic' of how to manifest things explained so clearly before...so, on reflection, I would think that my main process in manifesting our home here was following number 2 above: a general vision of what I would love to experience, with twinges of numbers 1 and 3 in the mix too though: some details were clear for me and I do my best all the time to be in a positive space, trusting that all is moving in my highest interest in the flow ;)

I thought this was really interesting to look at - I hope it resonates something fun for you too ;)

The Raw Food Ripple Effect...

THANK YOU to everyone who sent in fun and endearing entries to last month's RawReform Giveaway to win a copy of the beautiful Hemalayaa's "Bollywood Dance Workout" DVD...
To be in with a chance of winning the DVD, we asked you to send in your answer to the following question:

"If you were to win this DVD and become a shimmying, sparkling Bollywood-dancing beauty,
who would you choose to perform a dance for and why...? :)"

You *dazzled* us with all your love-filled answers, from school classes to doting husbands, to God, children, parents, Spirit, yet-to-appear soulmates, unborn children, the Diabetes Association, pets, George Clooney, Brian Clement, Mike Adams and even President Obama ;) - it seemed no-one was left out of the potential audience ;)
I am delighted to announce that the winner of the giveaway, chosen at random, is Claudia Stelmach, who sent in the following entry:

"Dear Angela,
When I get the workout dvd I will first take a before picture and then an after picture of my sexy brand new body and send them to you. And I will perform a sexy dance for my husband of course!
Blessings and best of all,
Claudia"

THANKS Claudia, for sharing your vision - your DVD is on the way to you and we do so hope you choose to honour your intention to send in some pics and dance for your beloved...maybe you'll even record a YouTube video of the dancing for us all to enjoy and learn from - have fun :)))

I received such a beautiful message today from one reader, Mimi that I felt moved to share it here with you...this, to me, TOTALLY exemplifies the power of the 'ripple effect' that we can all help to co-create when we share our stories and truths to help uplift others...

"It's been one year since I heard the life-altering words you spoke at Erewhon. You changed my life (and probably saved it). I will never be able to thank you enough. I now celebrate July 2nd as my birthday, as that is when I feel I experienced a rebirth. Thanks for delivering me into this new life...

Mimi"

Wow...beautiful, thanks so much for sharing, Mimi...and may we all continue to let our little lights shine, no matter what kinds of 'opposition' we may perceive in our vicinities - we have so much to share and can help so many...we are the change... ;)

All love to you all :)
