Thanks for clearing that up, am going to use it more often now. 😃 No I don't want to share, I like being vague today. It's like when people put cryptic messages on their Facebook status' just for attention...vaguebooking I call it. haha that's cool. Okay so here is a story. About....7 years ago my life was very much in a rut. I was basically too mentally/emotionally/energetically all over the place to hold down any kind of job, I was back at home with my parents (age 30), no girlfriend and a bunch of friends that I liked but I had grown out of. And this was at a point where I had already done a lot of spiritual work to the point where nothing in my old life was working for me...yet a new life had yet to emerge. I had money in the bank from the sale of my apartment, but there was nothing I was moved to spend it on. So I got stuck into the Abraham-Hicks material because there wasn't much else TO do. I spent time every day applying the tools consistently. I had already let go to a great extent to my attachment to 'stuff', the stuff I was interested in was my 'own' joyful family, doing work I loved to do...that kind of thing. So I probably did the work every day for about 6 months and all that really happened is that my old life became even more.....intolerable. I spent most of the day on my own either walking, or in the car. At the time though I was on a spiritual forum and there was a woman there that I had an...'unusual feeling' towards. It was like I just....really loved her, even though we didn't communicate much and actually argued a bit. And then one day she turned to me for advice. Things quickly gathered speed. It was August when she turned to me for advice, by December I was living in America with her and her two beautiful small children and there was a deep knowing that this was 'it'. Of course there were huge challenges to be faced, and it was so hard in those early days that if I had had ANYTHING to go back to in the UK, I would probably have gone. But there wasn't. It was the same for my wife...she really had nothing to go back to. And even though those early months were really hard, it was deeply fulfilling and rewarding. It FELT right....even when things seemed on the surface to be wrong. So....although I am very wary about talking about things happening as a direct response to 'manifesting' (I don't really believe that to be the case even though it can be a helpful model sometimes), I don't mind suggesting that the work I did was helpful at that time. I think the manifesting model is worthy of at least SOME of our attention, especially when the form of our lives is less than...ideal. Such a great story (u did tell me before by the way but I forgive you as I love hearing it). I used to try to manifest a la The Secret and couldn't, but now that I don't try it seems to happen. I think it's this 'letting go' being at peace thing so wondering if anyone else is noticing it too.

yup Im a Brit. Are you in Oz then Spongy? Sure am! Australia had a huge impact on my spiritual path, in my 20s I would go to Oz and feel freer and happier there than anywhere else. I loved both east coast and west coast.

In a way these days I don't even really notice the small manifestations because there are so many of them! Sometimes its funny though, I will think about something from an old movie...and then it will be on tv the next week. That kind of thing. In a way, Im not sure if there is any difference between being psychic and manifesting. Its just two different ways of looking at the same thing. I obviously like telling that story then

When I said 'psychic' I think I meant 'intuitive'. Yes, that makes sense that you are experiencing being more intuitive lately.

Esponja - I don't know what to think about manifestations. I'm reading an Abe-Hicks book, but I'm struggling to get up the interest to continue. The first part was interesting, but now I'm in the section about creating your own reality. My bull-o-meter keeps ringing. ;D The whole "go into a room and imagine what you want" thing.
On the other hand, the sorts of things you're talking about happen a lot to me - more all the time or maybe I'm just noticing it more.
What's your take on LOA?

I suspect it's both; noticed more and happening more. The other day somebody here posted a John Lennon song, and right after seeing it, I went to the Post Office where they were playing that song. However, I didn't make the connection till I got back in the car and 'caught' myself humming the song. Seems it's very easy to not notice those connections.
