Create Good Things

Posts Tagged ‘wealth’

Talismans and amulets have played a significant role in helping individuals to live more successfully over the last several hundred years, but do they still have a place in the lives of those of us who work with the Law of Attraction? The short answer is yes, but the form which our talismans and amulets might take will usually be quite different from the forms used earlier in history.

Both talismans and amulets can be defined as objects which were viewed as being endowed with a magical quality of some kind. In general terms, talismans were carried or worn on the person in an effort to attract a certain quality of condition (for example, good luck or greater financial success) whilst amulets were mostly carried or worn to provide protection against negative forces such as bad luck.

In previous centuries, where the belief in ritual and personal deities was much more common than it is today, talismans and amulets often featured ritual symbols and/or depictions of a deity (or several deities) associated with the intended use of the object. As such beliefs dwindled, so did the use of talismans and amulets, and where their use continued, the design of talismans and amulets changed to better suit the new understanding of how the universe worked.

There is much anecdotal evidence that talismans and amulets were effective in helping those who used them to live better lives. Talismans of health often gave their users a much-needed energy boost, and talismans of luck and wealth really did seem to make their owners luckier and wealthier. In ages past, it was thought that this was due to the external forces depicted on the talismans and amulets favouring the owner, but when we look at the subject with our modern understanding of the Law of Attraction and how the universe works, it is easy to see that talismans and amulets worked in a much more practical way.

In brief, people believed in the power of talismans and amulets. As any regular reader of Create Good Things will be aware, the power of belief is the force which changes our lives from the inside out (see The Magic of Believing). If we believe that we are getting stronger, wealthier, luckier or more attractive then those are the qualities that we will attract into our lives. Whether we believe in our own intrinsic power as spiritual beings or we put our faith in a symbolic object, it is the belief itself which brings about change.

This does not mean that those of us with a modern understanding of the Law of Attraction cannot gain benefit from using talismans and amulets. There is definitely value in carrying a physical symbol of a desired condition or quality on our person at all times, as every time we see that symbol – directly or peripherally – the subconscious mind will automatically begin to dwell on the associated condition, and that in turn will help to speed the manifestation of that condition or quality in our lives.

The good news is that virtually any small object can be used as a talisman or amulet – the important thing is to associate your chosen object with the end result that you want to achieve. For example, you could obtain a key fob and view it as a talisman which will help you to grow healthier and stronger, or you could obtain an unusual coin and view it as something that will help you attract greater wealth and success into your life. If you are so inclined you could even make a talismanic object of your own by inscribing a personal symbol onto a metal disc (blank medals or dog tags are useful for this).

Whatever object you choose as your personal talisman or amulet, be sure to keep it on your person at all times – on a chain around your neck, or in your purse, wallet or pocket. That will ensure that you encounter the symbol several times a day and keep your subconscious mind working with the Law of Attraction to manifest your goal.

Previously we introduced this series on How to Manifest Money by discussing why you, as a spiritual being, deserve abundance in every area of life. We now present the first of three Manifesting Money principles that you can use to help you manifest money quickly and painlessly…

Manifesting Money Principle #1 – Make A Wish

This really is a vital principle in manifesting money and anything else for that matter. You have to start by ‘making a wish’ – by sitting down and deciding once and for all precisely what it is you want.

Now most people don’t actually do this. Most people mentally agree that they would like more money, or a better car, or a bigger home, but few actually sit down and decide that they are absolutely committed to getting what they want. Unfortunately, unless this decision is deliberately made, manifesting anything is virtually impossible.

Start by imagining that you have been granted just one wish to help you improve your financial life and that whatever you wish for you can have. Now decide what you will wish for, and be as specific as possible. Don’t rush this decision, but take your time. Sit down and seriously consider what you really and truly want. Not what you think you can get, or what you think you deserve, but what you want.

When you have made this decision, write your wish-goal on a piece of paper as though it has already been manifest. For example, instead of writing, ‘I wish for $10,000 in the bank’ you should write, ‘I have $10,000 in the bank.’ We use the present tense because this helps to unleash the power within us and makes manifestation a much faster process.

It may seem simple, but as we said earlier, most people never get around to deciding what they really want in the way of material abundance. Most people spend more time watching soap operas on television than they do making plans about their lives. It is therefore no wonder that they do not make any real progress.

So take these principles seriously. They have the power to give you whatever you want, but only if you use them. And the first step is to sit down and make a wish. So sit down and make it!

In this exclusive series on How to Manifest Money we will present three specific Manifesting Money principles which you can use to start attracting a greater level of wealth and abundance into your life.

Before we begin, we should first make sure that you are at ease with the concept of experiencing abundance. So many people seem to think that becoming wealthy – driving luxury cars and enjoying the best of everything – is unspiritual. This belief alone can block any abundance you might otherwise experience, so it is vital that you correct it at once if you recognise it within yourself.

The fact is that wealth and abundance to some degree are virtually essential in this current age. In order to enjoy many of the things on this earth plane – even modest things such as a roof over your head and food on the table – money is essential. Even if all you want to do is travel to Tibet and learn to meditate properly, you still need at least some cash to pay your air fare and put clothes on your back.

Money is neither positive or negative. It is merely a symbol of energy – a unit of exchange – and is therefore neutral. One man can use his wealth to control other people whilst another can use his wealth to set people free from financial burdens. Thus money can be used either negatively or positively, but money itself is not biased one way or the other. It is neither spiritual or unspiritual.

As the infinite spiritual being that you really are, you deserve abundance in every area of your life. You deserve abundance in your relationships, career, living environment, transport, wardrobe, friendships, spiritual knowledge and – lest we forget – your finances. Abundance is not only a normal part of your birthright as a divine being, it is actually a necessity. If you have abundance in your financial situation then you can use this to help yourself and others live life at the highest possible level. If you don’t have such abundance then you can seldom help anyone with anything of a practical nature. It really is as simple as that.

Now that has been dealt with, we can begin to discuss the art of manifesting money itself. The three Manifesting Money principles we present in this series should be incorporated into your daily life as soon as possible. Don’t wait for a few months and then wonder why you aren’t abundant. Abundance comes only when you act on the spiritual principles which you are taught. So study this series carefully, read through the text at least twice, then put the principles to work. If you do this then the results will be truly magical.

Having seen how the seven elements of an effective ritual fit together, we now present three of our own rituals which are built on this pattern. Study them, change them to suit and use them whenever you wish.

Ritual For Wealth And Abundance

- Light a yellow or orange candle.

- Light an oil burner and use an incense oil of your choice (patchouli is useful).

- Centre yourself by gazing at the candle flame or closing your eyes and watching the breaths.

- Affirm that this ritual is for the production of wealth and prosperity in your life, but be specific. For example, ‘The purpose of this ritual is to help increase my experience of prosperity by $100 per week.’

- Close your eyes and imagine that you already have the wealth you are seeking. Feel the emotions which accompany this fact.  Imagine what having this money will enable you to do, be and accomplish.

- Confirm that the ritual has worked and that you already have what you want. For example, ‘I thank the power within me for the $100 per week pay rise I have just been given. I thank the universe that my faith has made it so.’

Relax for a few minutes, enjoying the emotions of the moment, then bring the ritual to a conclusion with a brief word or two. For example, ‘This ritual has now served its purpose. The desired pay-rise has now been created, and for this I thank the power within me.’
 
Ritual For Health And Vitality

- Light a green candle.

- Light an oil burner and use an incense oil of your choice.

- Centre yourself by gazing at the candle flame or closing your eyes and watching the breaths.

- Affirm that this ritual is for the production of health and vitality in your life, but be specific. For example, ‘The purpose of this ritual is to cure my insomnia and ensure that I sleep well.’

- Close your eyes and imagine that you already have the specific aspect of health that you are seeking. Feel the emotions which accompany this fact. Imagine sleeping soundly for eight or nine hours, and waking only when you feel fully refreshed and bursting with energy.

- Confirm that the ritual has worked and that you already have what you want. For example, ‘I thank the power within me that I no longer suffer from insomnia. I thank the universe that each night now brings me eight solid hours of deep and beneficial sleep.’

Relax for a few minutes, enjoying the emotions of the moment, then bring the ritual to a conclusion with a brief word or two. For example, ‘This ritual has now served its purpose. Insomnia is no longer a problem in my life, and for this I thank the power within me.’

NOTE: If you use ritual to improve your health, you must not stop using any prescribed medication until your doctor authorises it. Perform your ritual, wait for the manifestation and then visit your doctor for confirmation of any change. 

Ritual For The Attraction Of A Lover

- Light a pink candle.

- Light an oil burner and use an incense oil of your choice (Ylang Ylang is particularly beneficial for this ritual.)

- Centre yourself by gazing at the candle flame or closing your eyes and watching the breaths.

- Affirm that this ritual is for the attraction of a lover or partner in your life, but be specific. For example, ‘The purpose of this ritual is to attract a six foot tall, blue-eyed blonde female/male into my life and to myself for a long-lasting platonic (or intimate) relationship.’

- Close your eyes and imagine that you already have the lover you are seeking. Feel the emotions which accompany this fact. Imagine spending time with your lover, and be as passionate as you like. Remember, the more emotional (intense) you get during this element of the ritual, the better.

Confirm that the ritual has worked and that you already have what you want. For example, ‘I thank the power within me for my new lover. I thank the universe that we have a wonderful and satisfying platonic/intimate/passionate relationship.’

Relax for a few minutes, enjoying the emotions of the moment, then bring the ritual to a conclusion with a brief word or two. For example, ‘This ritual is complete. The lover of my dreams is now a part of my life, and for this I thank the power within me.’
