Your Basket of Goodies 😁 (Manifestation Email Series: 3 of 7)

BASKET OF GOODIES  P.3 🙂

Hi Friends,

 

Welcome to email #3 of the Manifesting Email Series. This email series is designed to remove all the New Age glitter from manifesting so you can get to the GOLD. 

 

In my last email, I said I was going to share with you the difference between identity-based manifestations and wisdom-based manifestations. As this topic is another technical piece, I have decided to share something more anecdotal this week  - we’ll get into the technical stuff again next week! 

 

BTW, I am co-facilitating at RETREAT in Algonquin November 26-29. Please consider joining me and Jessie for this event. SO much effort is going into curating this experience so I really hope you can come. If you live in the area, car-shares may be available.

 

Please reach out for more info. 

 

But for now, let's return to this week's topic: A Basket of Goodies

p.s. links to email 1 & 2 at at the bottom 😘

Picture yourself in this situation. 

 

Your best friend has been going through a really difficult divorce. During this time you have helped her move house, walk her dog, water her plants, make home cooked meals and have been available for unlimited emotional support. 

 

After a period of about three months, your friend is feeling more settled and is able to resume her regular routine. 

 

Coming home from work one day you find a basket of goodies left on your front porch. There is a card written from your friend expressing her heart-felt gratitude for the help she received. 

 

In the letter she confessed that on one occasion she had planned to end her life, but thanks to your overwhelming love and support, she did not go through with her plan. 

 

Upon receiving this gift and note, how do you think you might feel? 

 

Do you think you would go to bed that night feeling warm, connected and filled with love and compassion for your friend? 

 

Do you think you would feel satisfied with your efforts in showing up as a caring and trustworthy friend? 

 

I imagine your answer is YES to these questions - ABSOLUTELY!  

 

Now let's take a look at a second example. 

 

You go to the supermarket to get some milk. 

 

On the way out, someone approaches you to buy a ticket for a raffle. The money raised will go towards some renovations for the local sports club. You don’t care for sports but decide to give the man $2 for a ticket because you had some change in your pocket. 

 

The next day you receive a phone call and learn that you won the raffle. You now need to drive to the facility to pick up your prize. You won a meal for two at the local pub and a bottle of whiskey. You don’t drink. 

 

You go to bed unchanged, perhaps even slightly irritated by the interruption in your day.

After picturing yourself in these two scenario’s, which one would you rather experience? 

 

Let’s even sweeten the deal with the second scenario and say that the raffle prize was something more agreeable - maybe some fancy chocolates, local cheese and hand crafted crackers.

 

Even still, do you think those cheese and crackers could bring as much joy as what you experienced receiving the basket of goodies? 

 

Was it the content of the basket of goodies that made it so valuable or was it something else?

 

What is being pointed to here is something that is so obvious yet so easily overlooked:

 

Context that shapes our experience of value. 

 

In the first frame, we saw an act of generosity and appreciation that allowed this gift to be received in a way that opened the heart and eased the mind. Even if the raffle produced the exact same items, its effect would land differently. 

So when you think about manifesting, I invite you to consider these broader implications. 

 

Is it really a basket of goodies, a new home or a million dollars that you are seeking? 

 

Or is there something deeper?
