Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Life flows naturally in the


direction of your choices.

Lori

Standing at my empty fridge, I realized that my life had to


change. How did it come to this? It was Wednesday, and my
husbands payday wasnt until Friday. In a few hours I needed to
feed my kids after school and cook dinner for the family, but
there wasnt even a carrot or potato rolling around the bottom of
the fridge. I used to know how to make life work. I was at the top
of my game. I used to earn more than my husband. I used to have
my own independent income. The cash was gone. The credit
cards didnt work anymore. The friends and family had already
been asked before. And here I was again. Two years; its been
two years of this crap. What am I doing wrong? I just dont know
anymore. In that moment I recognized that I was back in my
childhood, and my kids were going through what I swore theyd
never have to experience. I thought about my childhood and
everything leading up to this moment.
When I was growing up in Detroit there wasnt an excess
of money around and my sister and I knew it. Although we were
raised in a loving environment our single mother worked hard to
support us and my fathers child support checks didnt come
often. When I was 12 my mother remarried a Canadian, and

8
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

everything in my life changed. We moved to Toronto and for the


first time in my life we always had food in the fridge, a lovely
home to live in, and beautiful furnishings.
As I grew into a young woman I realized that I never
wanted to go back to the old, scarce standard of living. It
motivated me to get a good education and work diligently at my
jobs in the computer industry with many opportunities available.
I met my future husband and moved to New Zealand to
be with him. I got a well paying job and again worked my way up
the career ladder. I managed a national division of a computer
company with eight offices. Then I ran my own computer
supplies business successfully. Finally I worked for an Insurance
Company as a database marketing consultant. I stayed in the best
hotels, had a company car and all the freedom to travel around
with a great income and a fantastic, stimulating job. Back then my
mindset was focused on being out of debt and my husband and I
were careful with our money, paying extra off our mortgage
whenever possible. We had two children and moved into a
beautiful home with a view over the city. Our children lived in a
privileged neighborhood and went to a local state school in a
wealthy area. I used to say that we bought there because we liked
the view and had bought the worst house on the best street.
Without knowing it I felt that I had to justify my wealth.
When my second child started school we realized only
one of us could work, because he had a learning disability and
needed extra support. So I quit my job and started a small
eCommerce consultancy. It didnt take off as quickly as I had
expected, and our finances began to slip. Then it all got tighter,
tighter and finally stopped. We had a two income mortgage on
one income. My husband and I were both stressed, we were both
arguing a lot and we eventually both went into depression.
On top of everything, my Stepfather was suddenly put
into palliative care. No one knew how long he had left. I lived in

9
New Zealand and he was in Canada. I wanted to see him again
once more, so I quickly booked an air ticket to Canada at a travel
agency and wrote a check. The next day, I discovered brutally
that I almost didnt have enough credit available for one return air
ticket. We had come to the end of our cash, and then we got to the
end of our borrowing ability. Two hours before flight time I found
myself negotiating with the bank manager for enough to cover
that check. We got the extended loan, but to add insult to injury, I
didnt even make it back in time to say goodbye to my beloved
Stepfather. I stayed with my mother in Canada for a month, and in
this time away from home I started to review the reality of my
financial situation.
I think the first thing that happens as you expand your
awareness is that you begin to notice yourself doing things
wrong. When I got home to New Zealand I noticed words
coming out of my mouth as if someone else was saying them. I
noticed that I was telling my children no, we cant afford that,
no we dont have any money, no, were broke, no, no, no, you
cant have that. My oldest son even needed braces for his teeth
and I could not do anything about it.
Now here I was, facing the stark reality of an empty
fridge at the end of the road for everything I knew. Stunned, I
wandered out of the kitchen and back to my home office to
continue looking for new business customers.

Turning Point #1 The Missing Pieces


Then the phone rang. It was a friend. She said she was
halfway through reading a book and intuitively thought of me.
She said, I think you need this book more than I do right now. I
was intrigued and interested, since she was the generous friend
who had already put $7,000 on her credit card to help keep my
business going. She drove over and dropped off the book. I
immediately began reading it.

10
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

As I read the book I began to see some key principles that


I had been missing. I began to ask out loud for what I wanted. I
had begged for unseen help before, but I finally saw that because
of my pride and the way I thought about wealth I was constantly
saying no thanks when it showed up. This time I spoke a deep
prayer of thankfulness. With certainty I thanked the Universe for
showing me where I was going to get $50 for groceries for our
dinner that night.
Within 30 minutes of saying that prayer, I wandered into
our study and found myself facing our file cabinet. Confused
about why I was standing there, I remembered it was where we
kept our bank account statements. It was at that moment that I
suddenly realized we had over $1100 in our childrens savings
accounts! I was filled with thankful tears as I realized my prayers
had been answered. I suddenly saw that I had been thinking and
talking myself into poverty, being so independent that I was
unappreciative and ungrateful to what we actually had been given
by Life and what wealth I had around me. I had been living in
fear and had very little faith in anything other than my own
efforts.
In my realization I also heard the voice in my head as I
resisted accepting this gift. I argued with myself: no, its wrong
to take from my childrens accounts, no, thats their future,
no, that would be admitting failure! Based on our real financial
situation, that could be considered stubborn insanity, and it would
have been again refusing the abundance that was suddenly,
magically being offered to me. So I told that voice to sit down and
be quiet. I drove straight to the bank and withdrew some money
for the urgent cash we needed to buy food for dinner. This was
the turning point for me, and my life has never been the same
since that precious understanding came to me
After this I began to practice creating and accepting
abundance graciously: when I found five cents on the ground I

11
gratefully thanked the Universe as if I had just been given a
hundred dollars. When I unexpectedly received a small
government tax rebate in the mail I happily acknowledged the
help being given to me. I stopped saying it was only a little, not
enough, just a coincidence, timing or just luck. Nothing was taken
for granted.
Our wealth was locked away within the contents and
equity of our house, and the immediate issue was to restart and
increase our flow of cash. I began to have constant inspirations to
create cash for us: I started selling my surplus books, clothes and
equipment on eBay. It was amazing. Ten dollars, twenty dollars,
more and more money began to be unlocked and flowed, and I
was thankful throughout.
The next stage was to make a decision to unlock the
money contained within our home the equity we had
accumulated over 10 years compared to the debt was actually
quite healthy. But it was separated from us behind our mortgage.
So we made a powerful decision to release our debt and reduce
our stress. We could have made other choices increased our
income, taken second jobs and arranged after school care. This
was a personal choice, and for us, we had had enough of living
house poor while pretending to be keeping up.
For 10 years we had been dreaming of living in a warm
place, and in the midst of this situation we made a decision to
move to Australia. Things started to happen quickly, in perfect
ways. We sold our home privately for an incredible profit. Within
a few months we had created a completely new life for ourselves
living where we truly wanted. We paid cash for a house, even
when real estate agents told us it was impossible to get a house
for so little money. But we were focused on being financially
free, and we did it; we bought a lovely small villa within a resort
complex. It was an instant community, and a fabulous way to start

12
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

in a different country. We began again, finally living our dreams


in a beach paradise, just like I had desired for so long.

Turning Point #2 SPEED


As I began to practice some of these principles
consistently over the next several years, I noticed that sometimes
things happened fast, and sometimes things seemed to come
slowly. I started looking for the similarities when things happened
fast. At that point I began to see the same process working itself
out continually and I began to document and test that process with
others.
Then finally, I had a significant insight as I watched the
process happen so quickly and perfectly during a course I took
with 100 people. We were all put into small groups and each
group was required to manifest a specific outcome within about
five hours. Along with six other people that I didnt know, in an
unfamiliar city 5000 miles from home, we were sent out into the
world without any support. I shared my process with the others
and together we completed the internal (thinking) work, and then
we got busy. We tried several different actions, some which
worked and others which didnt. We followed the principles
outlined here to you, and when we came back five hours later, we
had accomplished our task; the only successful group. As we
were acknowledged for our results and our group cheered, I
turned back to look at my groups table. The sight in front of me
overwhelmed me with emotion. You see, together five hours
earlier, we had stopped and deliberately pictured that moment,
and in front of me was like a dj-vu, with the same people in the
same places, clapping and cheering with their arms up in the air. I
became in awe of a power that worked so obviously, so simply
and so naturally, when we followed the process. I could so clearly
see the workings of the Universal Laws, and I could see it as a

13
repeatable process. Now, when I hear stories about very fast
manifestations I can see the consistent components.
We all live in a sea of abundance and yet some cannot
seem to capture and use it. SPEED Manifesting has been
written for you. I know why you were given this information. I
know why you have stayed through to here. This is your story,
too. Turning your life around is simple; really, profoundly simple.
As you read and absorb the material in this book your life
will begin to change. Watch for the changes. They will begin as
clarity, simplicity, new ideas and opportunities. They will show
up in how other people respond to you. Your new awareness of
life and how it works will shift your reality.
Read carefully to find the clues to distinguish between
manifesting and SPEED Manifesting. Hidden throughout this
book is one magical key concept. Can you find it? It appears more
than 50 times. Within The Method are the essential
understandings and actions to manifest your desires. The key is
not one of the 7 Steps, but it makes the change in the speed of
manifesting possible. To get the most out of your time and this
teaching, contemplate what this one key could be.
You will see your SPEED Manifesting come alive as
your life responds quickly with more loving relationships, better
health and vitality, a definite flow of money to you, a heightened
appreciation of the beauty around you and your ability to be
present in the moment.
There is no mystery to creating the life of your dreams. It
is simply a process, and when you understand that process, life
flows naturally in the direction of your choices.
Abundant blessings to you

SECTION I. ENERGY, BELIEFS AND WEALTH

The way to powerfully use both Beliefs


and Universal Laws is to know the
difference.

Be willing to challenge your Beliefs, while


surrendering to The Way Life Works
which is called Universal Law.

Lori

The Universe is made up of a perfect matrix of pure


energy. Everything is energy. Matter and mass are composed of
dense energy. The space in between matter is energy. This energy
is an intelligent energy and can be affected by thoughts and
emotions. Understanding of this energy comes through awareness
of Natural Laws or Life Principles that become obvious once we
begin to distinguish them as working behind everything we do.

Beliefs or Universal Laws?


When I was 12 years old my family moved four hours
drive east, from Detroit to Toronto, Canada. So much in my
world changed and something strange had happened; I crossed an
invisible line called an international border and I felt like I was on
another planet. People spoke with a different accent and
sometimes they used different words; rubber band became

15
elastic, and tennis shoes became running shoes. Most
people ended their sentences with the sound aye? Strangers
spoke to us in elevators, they made eye contact walking down the
street, and even people we didnt know smiled at us. Everyone
was friendly. The place was clean and safe. The fear,
hopelessness and distrust in my life near 8 Mile Road in 1970s
Detroit opened up to the optimism of immigrants in the fast
growing and accepting environment of Toronto. I was only a
short drive away, but the place was clean, and when strangers said
hello to you, that was suddenly safe and acceptable.
It was odd that things could have changed so much and I
thought about this from time to time as I grew up. Cultures may
appear similar, but because of differences in their laws, their
history and their perspectives they have different beliefs, different
behaviours and different outer circumstances.

How We Form Beliefs


When we are newly born we begin to perceive and
construct a view of the world through our physical and mental
senses. A new baby lives in a world of no-belief. She is
absolutely present, just being in the moment of wanting, needing,
observing or just in total satisfaction and bliss. As she grows and
learns about her physical body and the physical world around her
she learns cause and effect action and reaction. Through this she
experiences some of the Universal Laws filtered through beliefs.
Our personal belief systems are built on three degrees of
influence and this allows us to create an individual perspective to
interact with, and relate to our world.

1st Degree: Experience.


After a period of experience and repetition, when the
cause and effects are replicated the baby creates a First Thought
about something. She uses her perception through her five senses

16
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

and then interprets this from her growing life experiences. This
is how Beliefs are born. As she grows and gains more life
experience this First Thought provides a useful tool for survival
and building on what she has already learned. Each time she
experiences more evidence to a particular cause and effect she
interprets the evidence and has further layered thoughts.
This is the natural way of designing and developing the
Mind for safety and collecting data, to be able to learn and grow
in the world. The interpretations of this storage of consecutive,
repetitive experiences of cause and effect are called Beliefs.
We continue to make 1st Degree Beliefs throughout life as
we form interpretations and conclusions about life from repeated
painful or fulfilling experiences; right or wrong, we begin to see
life through a filter of these decisions and they gain power and
momentum. I always... I never... become truth, for us.

2nd Degree: Experience of others.


However, once the new baby develops language, and
through interactions with others she begins to acquire the
interpretation of other peoples experiences. She may be told or
shown what others expect of her behaviour, or what they have
already experienced and believe. This is taught to her so that she
may use the experience and knowledge of others to hasten her
learning time.
Our parents, teachers, friends and mentors influence us by
their harsh or gentle guidance, by witnessing their repetitive
behaviours and mistakes and by their stories. We hear their rules
about how they think life works and we save time and pain. But
their experiences are sometimes not up to date with our world nor
in sync with our values. Yet their words are often recorded in our
thoughts and replay on auto pilot without us recognizing the
source or checking the relevance.

17
3rd Degree: Dogma.
Teachings, sayings and perspectives from another time
long ago can be irrelevant. Religious indoctrination, some ancient
teachings handed down, old clichs, sayings that are repeated but
not understood and even some laws of the land do not apply to
our urgent need to do things differently, right now. Beliefs cause
problems when your personal experience or observation is
replaced by someone elses previous beliefs and world views,
generation after generation. You are told to believe their
interpretations of cause and effect experience because they
experienced it and so it must be true. When you blindly follow
others because, thats the way its been done before you are not
coming from your personal experiential beliefs around life.
This attachment to a personal belief as Truth is
righteousness. It becomes an oppressing disregard for Free Will
when one says you are wrong and I am right. This is
unconsciously saying I do not live in the awareness of Free
Will.
There is another way. This is a three way perspective on
your personal beliefs: there is your way, my way and a way that
works for both of us. When you can say in my experience I
believe... then you are expressing a positive approach to using
the strength in your Beliefs.

Beliefs Create All the Limitations in your Life.


No matter where it originates, once you accept a set idea
about something, possibilities for new options are restricted or cut
off. Conscious awareness of your beliefs can allow you to sift
through them and open up to new frontiers in life. Beliefs are
based on personal, changeable perceptions and are as unique as a
fingerprint or a snowflake. Each of us puts together our
interpretations of life and builds a supporting belief system to

18
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

perceive and relate to the world. As your programming is laid


down in your memory circuits, it becomes your automatic ways
of being. Using only past beliefs to guide you through Life is like
driving down the street and trying to steer the car using your rear-
view mirror.
Eventually when I learned about the Universal Laws and
how life really works it occurred to me that the way people
think forms their world, and it comes from something
changeable; their beliefs. But when I finally figured out how to
turn my life around, I also discovered that old beliefs had nothing
to do with creating a new future.
The beliefs of morality change approximately every 100
years. My 101 year old great-grandmother described how a
woman lifting her skirts to show her ankles was considered of
loose morals. Now we can look at any beach and see, well a lot
more. This is not about right or wrong morality. Rather, beyond
the changing whims, transient values and perspectives of
humanity, the real rules are useful to know because they are
Universal Laws. They cannot be changed or broken, and you
would only slow down or break yourself if you tried to go against
them.
In any sport the players must know the rules. But in your
own life, are you a spectator or a player? If you are a spectator
you can get by with only superficial knowledge.
Early in 1988 shortly after I arrived in New Zealand, my
husband was trying to explain the game of Cricket to me. The
World Cup was on and Sir Richard Hadlee was the captain. I was
an avid baseball fan in Toronto and had watched almost every
game the Blue Jays played since they began in 1977. It seemed to
me that cricket looked a lot like baseball. He explained about
overs and bowls and innings and ducks. He told me about LBWs
and sixes and even tea break. After a while, I was still confused
and frustrated. I could not understand why they just kept running

19
back and forth, never really getting anywhere. So I asked my
husband what was the purpose of the game. He said to win, of
course. No, I said, I mean, what are they trying to do? He
said, To get the most runs. He didnt understand why I couldnt
get the game. Even more frustrated, I stopped asking questions
and just watched. After a while, I asked another question, what
are those three sticks behind the batter? Incredulously he looked
at me then explained about the wicket. After both of us had
some hearty laughter I understood that was the goal; the bowlers
target. What I also understood was that I should switch to Rugby,
so I did.
In the game of life, most of us were not educated in the
real rules. Instead, through trial and error you learned some hit
and miss rules intended for spectators. The rule book somehow
got lost a long time ago and ever since, our teachers were doing
the best they could but they were missing many pages. Are you
willing to continue living your life with only the spectators
incomplete rule book, when you are a player? If you dont
volunteer, life will draft you. Unconscious living is the level of
the spectator, and as your awareness grows you can choose to get
into the game, your Game of Life. The Universal Laws are for the
Players in Life.
Once you know the difference between Beliefs and
Universal Laws and how to use both to your greatest strength and
abilities it will allow you to excel in life. As people generally
walk through life they see the world through rose coloured
glasses. Just as you can forget while wearing sunglasses that you
have a filter coloring everything you see, you can also forget that
you have taken on beliefs over your lifetime from many different
sources through environment and experiences.

20
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

Shifting Beliefs and Values


When your personal beliefs and values are close to your
family culture, ethnic culture or national culture you will be in
agreement with those around you. When you question those views
which came before you, then you have disagreements. The
teenage years are the transition between what values you have
accepted without question, into assimilating a blend of your
parents or societys previous values, with your own experience
and needs, forging your own, new values and beliefs. You
continue to build on these unconsciously more or less for the rest
of your life.
In the book Conversations with God it is suggested that
we review, but dont throw away our beliefs and values, because
these make up the structure of our life and the fabric of our
experience and it is not a good idea to unravel the fabric of your
experience. Examine them one by one it is advised. Review
them piece by piece. Do not dismantle the house, but look at each
brick, and replace those which appear broken, which no longer
support the structure.1
Once in a while we will have an experience or a new
teaching which differs from our own beliefs and values, and we
sometimes shift our beliefs or values to a new understanding.
This is what you feel as an aha moment, an epiphany or
sometimes even a crisis. Nothing is ever the same to you again
because you have restructured a belief, which leads to a change in
behaviour and therefore, results.
Many years ago I was perpetually late for everything.
Every appointment and even every morning to work was a
struggle to be on time. Stress surrounded most of my life as I
lived this way. I learned that no matter what your good reason or
excuse was for being late, sometimes you missed out. I learned
that planes dont wait.

21
Then one night I was very late to pick up my husband
after his long overtime shift. I was so late that he ended up
walking 20 minutes in the darkness to the point where I caught up
with him. He was always on time, even though he had previously
accepted my way of being perpetually late. That night he was not
happy at all but he didnt say a thing when he got in the car. For
me, the wakeup call was in his silence. At that moment I realized
what it had been costing me to be late all this time; the stress, my
self-worth, and most especially, his feelings of trust for me. I
loved the way he was always on time, and I wanted to be the
same for him. He didnt have to say a thing, and I realized that the
cost of continuing to be late was too much. Something shifted
within me, and I made a decision that night. I started being on
time, all the time, without stress. I learned to easily say I have to
go now. I set up a pattern and planned to be early. When I
needed it I used the emotional pain of that night, that mistake and
immediately received the discipline to carry out my new value.
That was over 15 years ago, and I have had many demands on my
time since then. I have had multiple responsibilities and
conflicting business and family needs. But now my value of
respecting my agreement with others has overruled any moment
of indecision. This change was and still continues to be a strength,
because I had an immediate and complete shift in my beliefs and
values and I chose to act differently.

The Opposite of Belief is Possibility


What is possible when you consider new ideas and new
beliefs? Its time to learn a healthy disrespect for beliefs, so you
can choose which are useful, and expand or release any that are
outdated. Knowing the difference can help you to clear out the old
and learn that life is a creative process and old limits do not work
in a world as fast moving as ours. Challenge your beliefs, and
then find the ones that you want to be true, because your beliefs

22
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

become your life. Awareness of particular beliefs will become


essential when you need to do things differently from the past.
A woman was talking to me about The Secret movie
she had just watched. She thought it was great, and began to
discuss it with me. She explained that she had been a practising
Wiccan for over 30 years, and she started to compare The Secret
teachings to her faith. As she talked about what she believed and
compared that to The Secret (the Law of Attraction), I found that
we were having difficulty. Before we could have a useful and
constructive conversation, I had to first help her to understand the
difference between Universal Laws and beliefs. Once she saw the
difference she felt free to learn about the teachings of Universal
Laws and still hold to her personal and spiritual beliefs, without
feeling that she had to defend them or choose between them.
Beliefs can be the hidden, unseen filters that hold you
back. In your unconscious attachment to them you become stuck
in a recurring creation of the past. If you would like to create
something different for yourself, then it is essential that you open
up your mind to new possibilities and continually challenge your
current beliefs.
There was a time when I thought I knew how to make life
work and how to be successful. When things stopped working it
became apparent that I was missing something. I thought I was
still doing all the same things. Yet I was missing some key
wisdom, knowledge or information and it showed. It was a
mystery to me
When everything finally improved for me, this time I
knew why. I was in the flow of Life, understanding and using the
Universal Laws. If something stopped working, or I got off track
or slowed down, I was able to review the basics about the Laws.
Then I was free to review my current beliefs, challenge them and
actively change my thinking and feeling, which then changed my
behaviour, my results and therefore my world.

23
Universal Laws

Law of Attraction
Energy vibrates at different speeds, or frequencies; slower
vibrations produce physical matter, faster vibrations
produce thoughts, fastest vibrations exist in the
frequencies of emotion and light.
One of the properties of energy is that each frequency
attracts and tunes to all other energy waves of the same
frequency (like a tuning fork). Therefore thoughts and
emotions attract like energy. This is the primary Law of
humanity.
Law of Rhythm
Life unfolds in cycles; tides flow in and out, day follows
night, things get worse and things get better. Go with the
flow. Everything has its season.
Law of Gestation
Every seed planted has its unique gestation period. Linear
Time is a concept used by Man as a way of organizing
activity and agreement. Patience and Faith assist in
allowing the Universe to work out its perfect creation
time.
Law of Relativity
Everything just is, until related to something else. Here
cannot exist without the reference point of there.
Law of Cause and Effect
Every action has a reaction. You reap what you sow.

24
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

Law of Vacuum
Nature seeks to fill a vacuum. By creating a vacuum you
allow more to flow in.
Law of Polarity
Everything has an equal and opposite. There is no bad
without good, no hot without cold, no dark without light,
and no problem without a solution. Therefore the moment
a desire is conceived in your heart, its counterpart, form,
exists in the thinking formless substance ready to be born
following the Law of Gestation.
Law of Similarity
As above, so below. As within, so without. Analogies are
a powerful way of teaching in relation to the Law of
Similarity. You can apply the way you observe life in one
situation to other situations for a greater understanding of
yourself within. You can use Nature to learn about
yourself and reflect on your current obstacles.
Law of Order
You live in an orderly Universe, and by reflecting this
principle you are working with the Universe to help you
move toward your Intentions.
Law of Motion
Nothing stands still; nothing stays the same. Life is in
continual motion. Do not fret about current unwanted
circumstances. Appreciate what you have. It is an illusion
to try to hold on to things, for even this shall pass.

Four Areas of Balanced Wealth

Be Wealthy so you can enjoy the things


in life that money cannot buy.

Lori

When people think of wealth, many people think purely


of acquiring money and the things that money can buy. Have you
ever heard of someone who sacrifices all areas of life to get
money, only to end up alone, sick, unhappy and full of regrets?
On the other hand, have you also known people who are
loving and great to be around and have wonderful relationships
but struggle to pay their own bills or lack extra money to give to
people? They justify this circumstance of lack by repeating old
phrases such as I just want to be comfortable. Money doesnt
buy love... health... happiness. True Wealth is a balance of four
complete areas in life: Others, Self, Nature and Money.

Four Areas of Balanced Wealth

Money Others

Nature Self

26
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

When you are out of balance in any of these four areas,


you feel lack in your life. This lack is illustrated in unhappiness,
confusing relationships or continual repetitive disappointments. It
is a feeling of being on the wrong ship in the wrong ocean. It
shows up in sickness, disease and poverty.
Balanced wealth is very important, because when you pay
attention to all four areas equally, your life expands and unfolds
in satisfaction and fulfilment. You have more money to enjoy
your loving relationships, you feel your own inner divinity, you
are comfortable in your own skin and you feel whole in your
connection to your physical origin, Mother Earth.

27
Money

Your thought about money (it is bad) runs


directly counter to your experience (its great to
have money!)...it never occurs to you that your
idea about money may be inaccurate.
Neale Donald Walsch
Conversations with God

Money provides the way to enjoy life more fully and give
you more comfort. It allows you to take care of yourself and
others and to keep your health through providing more than the
basics of life. It also gives you the freedom to expand your
knowledge, explore the planet and have more choices for a fuller
expression of life.
Wealth as Money is the experience of the increasing
circulation and distribution of goods and services. It represents
the physical expression of everything we convert from something
else. So what makes us crazy when we think of money?
Money is neither good nor bad. It obtains its value with
the agreement of those who exchange it. Some believe the
perspective that money is the root of all evil.
The original Greek version of this common saying is
different. Through time and verbal usage the meaning has drifted
away. The full phrase is The love of money is the root of all
evils2. I use this example because it is so often misquoted and
misused as a justification to keep people in a poverty
consciousness. It was never intended to be a quote supporting

28
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

poverty. The original idea of the complete passage explains about


coveting using one of the four Greek words for coveting,
oregomai (to stretch after). Coveting has fallen out of common
usage, but it means wanting to possess what others have.
As for the love of money, in the Greek language love is
described variously as agape, eros, etc. Other languages also
have many different words for love. There is infatuated love,
family love, passionate love, obsessive love, and so on. Yet in
English there is one broad word for love, with additional
descriptive words and the sentence context to provide
understanding. In the case of this quote the Greek word is actually
philargyria, brotherly love of silver. Have you heard of The
City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia? So taken this way in its
fullness it could mean more about coveting and hoarding the coin
of exchange, which in earlier days was pure silver, not cash. It
might be a warning about possessiveness and being attached to
ownership, rather than allowing the trading, increase and
circulation of value. Yet this simple quote has been used for
centuries to justify poverty and vilify wealth.
Look around you at the world. What does your
experience of poverty tell you? My experience of life is that
possessiveness, lack and scarcity lead to wanting what others
have and this coveting is truly a cause of evil.
Money is really a magnifier of character, and the reason
many people can immediately think of all the bad rich people is
because of this simple truth: good, rich people do not often make
the news. They generally just do what needs to be done and even
by being wealthy they add to the abundance through not only
donations but also by spending their money, creating jobs and
opportunities for others. In their silent giving they make more of a
difference in many lives by simply circulating more wealth.
Working with financial advisors years ago as a database
consultant I learned that their wealthiest clients were not often

29
visibly so. The advisers said you wouldnt know that their net
worth was more than 98% of the people around them. These
clients drove average cars and still lived in the same home they
had occupied for years. Some people choose to show their wealth,
and others do not. Some people have a public profile attached to
their wealth and so fame and fortune seem to go together, but
others are wealthy in silence and modesty.
Free yourself and realize that even though we see the so
called bad get rich, so do the great, the courageous, the stupid,
the clever, the young, the old, the average, the genius, the slow
and the diligent. There is more to learn about having abundant
money wealth than you have been taught up to now.

How Do I Attract Money?


You may have already noticed that money does not flow
just because you work hard, do all the right things or are a
good person. The answer is so simple that most of us missed it:
money is a fierce representation of a firm law; money comes to
those who vibrate the expansion of value to others. Greater value
= greater money. Wealth is not a measure of goodness; it is
simply a measure of the value you express to like-minded others.
Your beliefs about money may have limited your ability
to vibrate the expression and expansion of abundant value, so you
havent been able to manifest and accept your desires. Most
people who lack enough money have given authority to their
current reality. It becomes a self-feeding belief that this reality
will continue. Let go of that authority and use your imagination to
start thinking about the vibration of expanding abundant service
and value to more people. Pay attention to abundance wherever
you see it. Tune into abundance. Notice abundance everywhere
around you. Traffic is abundance; nature is abundance; leaves,
water, grains of sand. To change your mindset and align with
abundance be happy when you see abundant people. When money

30
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

comes in as payment for your abundant mind, tied to expressing


value to the world there is truly no need to chase money.
So many people act as though money is in control of their
life, and the results show up exactly like that. Imagine you had a
large pet dog in your life and he was in control of the household.
What would your life be like? Imagine a whole pack of dogs in
charge. Would fear be the result? This is how people respond to
money. Change your attitude toward your own power, and
imagine how your life would change. When you call money
through the practice of tuning into the vibration of your
abundance, it comes, once you learn to be the match for
abundance in your attitude and thinking.
Money is an agreed value exchange of energy and provides
for us to experience choices in life fully. Money wealth is a
reflection of your vibration of sharing increased abundance, and
your ability to align with accepting abundance from others.
You will notice that even though I stress Balanced
Wealth, my priority is to raise your abundance mindset and
manifest money and the things that money can buy first. That is
because you need to increase the amount of money flowing into
your life so that you:
1. Pay your bills with ease, to...
2. Experience lifes choices fully, and finally...
3. Share your purposeful life

Once you remove the fearful pressure to earn money for


survival you can begin to live the life you are meant to live. Then
you can rightfully direct it where it provides the most increase to
all through spending it, saving it and sharing it like a fountain
overflowing in balance. In the real fullness of wealth, having
money allows you to enjoy the things that money cannot buy.
Find your greatest vibration of value to others and do it with
abundance.

31
Others

If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability


to get the other persons point of view and see things
from that persons angle as well as from your own.
Henry Ford

Wealth with Others includes the quality of relationships.


Lack in this area causes heartache or an empty lonely life. In your
relationships when you try to control and dominate others to get
what you want it causes conflict and unhappiness as people are
suppressed and unable to fully express themselves, ultimately
causing emptiness in your Self.
Relationships can be the most challenging aspect of our
development, and they can also be the most joyful. With children,
partners, spouses, family, friends, employers and work associates
the social part of our balanced wealth may sometimes seem
complicated. Free Will reigns and yet we are all striving to agree
while still achieving our own desires.
In marriage for instance, even though I have been married
only once for more than 20 years, there has been a mixture of
conflicts and agreement, clarity and misunderstandings, anger and
joy as well as coldness and warmth. As you raise your levels of
awareness and work on what the other wants, your love changes
and grows to a stronger and deeper state of appreciation for
another and you can ultimately stay true to your values and get
more of what you want by allowing the other to have what they
want within a balanced relationship.

32
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

There was a time in my marriage when coldness set in. I


say set in because like a winter season the distance between me
and my husband seemed like it would not end. We disagreed
about everything and we could not laugh at ourselves or the
situation to break the stalemate. This went on for weeks, then
months. It got intolerable. I tried everything to talk our way
through it, but the more I tried to fix it, the more he withdrew. As
Valentines Day came near I began to reflect on our relationship
and what I really wanted. I was out in my garden admiring the
beautiful miniature white roses and I saw a perfect new bud just
ready to open. It struck me that what I wanted was for our
relationship to open up, but I felt that it was frozen in ice. Then an
idea occurred to me. I took that small white rose and submerged it
in water in a small stemmed glass. Then I put it in the freezer. I
arranged for a babysitter and booked a restaurant for Valentines.
Usually my husband makes all the plans and bookings for our
family, so this was very different. I waited until that night, and
then I told him I had arranged everything and we were going out.
We went to a lovely romantic restaurant by the sea and when we
arrived I placed the glass with the small frozen white rose on the
table. I told him I hope the coldness between us will melt by the
time this ice melts, and release the love that is frozen within. It
was only a gesture, but it was all I knew to do. Perhaps because it
was so unexpected, perhaps because I stopped trying to fix things,
but by the time that ice melted we were warmed too. It gave us
the chance to begin again and reconnect with the love we have for
each other. I still have that rose tucked away and it reminds me
that sometimes just being, and expressing our love is the only
answer.
Until I became aware that the highest gift given to us by
our Creator is Free Will, my unconscious desire was to control
others so that I could do things well which meant my way.
This caused much of my earlier heartache and conflict. My father
was married 10 times and through observing the whole of his life

33
I could understand how devastating and destructive his will to
control others was, both in his sad life and the lives of those he
touched. When I realized that the expression of love and
appreciation was more important than doing things the way I
thought they should be, more and more peacefulness opened up
around me. It also gave me the freedom to allow others to be
responsible for their own choices. Yet I could still stay with my
personal values if I felt strongly enough, and choose to disagree
while still serving my needs for my highest self. Now, I prefer to
allow others to be who they are, not who I expect them to be.
Sometimes I may find it challenging to be around someone
because we are vibrating at different frequencies, but then I can
allow them to be, or choose to be someplace else.
Relationships with children can be incredibly challenging
at times, when you have expectations of behaviour, codes of
morals, and your own values separate to theirs. Book 3 of The
Celestine Prophecy3 (The Secret of Shambhala) suggests that our
children choose us, that they are our teachers; and that we have it
backwards. Our role is to express our love and care for them,
protect them, nurture them and show them how the physical
world works. They come to us as our spiritual teachers. Children
are here to allow us to grow. They reveal ourselves to us. They
are like a mirror and we get to see where we need to expand and
grow by our feelings or reactions around children. They also are
the perfect teachers for reconnecting us with our natural state of
love and joy in a moment of perfect presence.
Learn about other peoples values; study the four basic
personality styles and think from their perspective. Relationship
training deserves more time and priority in our education, but any
sincere effort at personal growth with appreciation, good
communication, seeing things from the others point of view,
encouraging Free Will and exploring self responsibility is
worthwhile and helpful and builds an abundant life with others.

Self

You cannot travel within and stand


still without.
James Allen 1903

Self Wealth represents your physical body as your temple


and expresses your alignment with the holiness of your body.
How do you treat it? How do you feed, decorate and develop it?
Your body needs full use to give back to you. It is always giving,
and when your mind is in alignment with the miracle that is your
living physical entity, then you have balance and support for all
that your Highest Self is seeking.
Most people treat their vehicles with more care and
attention than their body. Review how you feel about your body.
Do you think about it? Could you see it as a living physical entity
that is part of you, but not all of you? Do you see the pure service
that your body exists as, for your benefit, awaiting the next
request by the wonderful tool called your mind?
Imagine if your body was a baby that you were given to
look after. How would you judge your care so far? Would you be
thrown in jail for abuse or punishment of it? Would you be guilty
of pure unconscious neglect? Would you at the very least be
guilty of over indulgence, or ruining it by spoiling it? In a way,
your body is your baby, and you have that responsibility for the
rest of your time in this physical life. With Free Will you have
domain over what happens to your body, but you can understand

35
more about being a good steward of the vessel that is a part of you
by relating to it in a caring, compassionate way.
Self Wealth also means taking care of your personal
development. To continue learning and growing intellectually
with yourself and your potential, is just as important as
developing other relationships. It means taking care of you, and
knowing that you deserve it.
Notice there is no separation of Spirituality in the four
areas, as that would imply a segregation and separation from you.
Instead, all areas are considered as supported and connected by
the energy of Divine Spirit. However, your personal relationship
with your source of power, energy and inspiration is an important
and unique connection. It is a part of your Self Wealth because
Self is within. Some spiritual being out there suggests a
separation from you, and a more empowering belief includes the
power of Life within you.
Quantum Physics has shown that there is an energy that
makes up the Universal fabric of life. This energy exists in the
dense matter of physical life, and the space in between. That
means within your body and your mind; with both the seen and
the unseen. You are a spiritual being living in a physical body.
You are thought energy and emotion directed by your individual
perspective of the universe. The results will be great when you
begin to direct your mind, thoughts and actions toward your own
highest good within your physical and spiritual self and
experience Self Wealth.

Nature

Every natural fact is a symbol of some


spiritual fact. Every appearance in nature
corresponds to some state of the mind, and
that state of the mind can only be
described by presenting that natural
appearance as its picture.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Balanced Wealth cannot be complete without the


connection to Nature. We are a sentient, walking version of the
planet: our bodies are continually being created from the
nourishment we take in. All foods ultimately come from the
Earth, and these substances are converted through long enzymatic
transmutations into cells. Our blood cells are renewed every 10
days, our tissue cells are created every 90 days, and our bone cells
are shed and reformed over every 13 years. So your body is not
even the same physical person you were 13 years ago. You are
continually renewed as the Earth. You are an amazing, moving,
active form of our Mother Earth, animated by the conscious spark
of Life.
Wealth in Nature includes awareness of this connection,
and harmony with the Earths plant and animal kingdoms. It is
also an appreciation of the energy and life that is in the elements
of water, air, earth and fire as well as the skies above.

37
Nature is the master of lifes analogies, and as I worked
in my flower gardens over the years I solved every conceivable
corporate problem or challenge I had. As a divisional manager of
a major computer company, I thought I was getting away from the
stresses of work by getting out in my garden. However, as I saw
the weeds taking over untended sections of my garden, and as I
saw the new flowers failing when I forgot to water them, I got a
multitude of employee problem solving messages from my
greatest teacher, speaking through the perfect analogy of a living,
growing garden.
The Universal Law of Similarity states that As above, so
below. As within, so without. Once you attune yourself to the
messages of the world around you, you can learn to use this in
your own life. Whether it is looking up at the stars or down into a
powerful microscope, the same rules of life apply.
After being raised as an urban chic in Toronto, living in
New Zealand for 17 years helped me to connect back to the
beauty of the planet. New Zealanders still kept their own
vegetable gardens and they planted flowers all year around. The
countryside is untouched in many places. It is an awesome
experience to see the Remarkables at sunset, fly around the snow
capped Mount Aspiring and enjoy the sunrise over eastern
beaches. With the full moon rising I have stood on the beach in
awe of the mysterious spherical Moeraki boulders. I have taken in
the incredible energy walking the fern valleys of the Canterbury
bush and then been gifted the view of a perfect triple waterfall. I
have seen the retreating glacier at Frans Josef and the fiords of
Milford Sound. I have been blessed to swim with the dolphins in
Kaikoura and to immerse myself in the shattering cold of the
Pelorus River. I have been to the mud pools of Rotorua and seen
the perfect cone of Mount Egmont in Taranaki. In New Zealand,
Nature is so accessible. It draws you in. The energy is reviving
and transforming.

38
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

What around you can you relate to? Using Nature, you
can expand your awareness and connection with life and learn to
recharge your energy and enhance your emotions of joy, love and
satisfaction. The experience is one difficult to describe because
Natures language is feeling and it does not completely translate
to words. To accept this part of your wealth, celebrate and learn
from All-That-Is in its physical form.
Being Wealthy in Nature means connecting with life as
it was in first creation. Can you enjoy going out to the beach, the
forest and the mountains? Do you know where the moon rises,
and when? Do you stop and acknowledge the magic and
magnificence of the sunrise and sunset, like the birds do in their
birdsong? Can you wake up each morning and feel the glory of
your new day as a part of planet Earth?
In a beautiful Russian series of books called Anastasia,
The Ringing Cedar Series 4, the author describes in detail how he
met a young woman in the Siberian woods who is so completely
in harmony with nature that she seems surreal. The books about
her teachings and her way of life are so compelling: Anastasia
teaches how to reconnect with the natural way of living in
harmony with your source of physical life, which is the planet
around you and the cosmos above you. These books explain a
philosophy of using living energy and appreciating nature in a
more simple life.
Our lives can move smoothly through different obstacles
with ease and flow, just like river water moves around and over
rocks. We need to pay attention to all FOUR areas of life and
make sure that we have tuned all of them.

39
Money is an exchange of energy and value and provides
for us to further experience the material side of life. To have more
than enough creates more for others as we share and spend. It is
alright to be wealthy and you are free to challenge any beliefs you
have that say something different. Money wealth is a reflection of
your ability to give value and accept value from others.
Others includes relationships, and each relationship
reflects ourselves in our reaction to the actions of others.
Respecting Free Will and practising tolerance teaches us the gift
of choice and giving. To create abundant wealth in this area,
practise appreciation.
Self includes physical health and touch, learning and
growth, knowing our own values and principles, standing up for
ourselves and our needs, being true to our self and our purpose,
and experiencing joy and peace within. To increase this area we
need to fully experience love.
Nature includes connecting to anything living on the
planet; plants and what we eat, our pets and animals, the cosmos
above and Mother Earth beneath our feet. It means being able to
enjoy a sunrise or sunset, listen to the birdsong, be in tune with
the cycles of nature and feel the energy of the planet. Balanced
Wealth with nature shows in a connection with the Divine Spirit
within all living things.
The secret to money-wealth is providing value to others.
The secret to relationship-wealth is appreciation. The secret to
self-wealth is expressing love. The secret to nature-wealth is
experiencing Divine energy connection. Be abundant in all these
areas and your life will be extraordinary.

SECTION II. THE PROCESS 7 STEPS

Manifesting is natural. We are


born with the desire to create,
we know how to ask, but we
forget how to allow and accept.

Lori

Whats all this got to do with SPEED?


Have you tried manifesting what you want, and wondered
why it was not working? Have you pondered what ingredients
were missing? Has your past success been like a start-stop cycle?
Do you have areas of confusion in any part of your life?
The following section is your recipe on manifesting your
desires in life. These seven steps are the steps to build the life of
your dreams. Each is an incremental step and yet all must be
included. Individual steps are not necessarily speed. As you
focus on your intended outcome you can bring the next step and
the next quicker, with the result being a fast manifestation of your
Intentions on an ongoing basis. Once you have completed the 7
Steps you will find out how to turn your knowledge into SPEED.
Depending on your Intentions, SPEED could be creating
the next step tomorrow, within a year, or within ten years.
Working with the Law of Gestation, SPEED Manifesting is
about working with the Universe to receive your Intentions in the
quickest, most direct method.

41
Section II. The Process 7 Steps

If you find any stumbling blocks as you begin to practice


your SPEED Manifesting steps, the final part of The Method,
Section III When Is it Going to Happen? will help you explore
what might be the cause and inspire you to continue to manifest
powerfully and quickly. You will be astounded, amazed and in
awe of your own power to create once you apply these principles.
The thinking is the start of creating and the feeling
motivates your actions. The completion of the process is in letting
go and allowing. In each step along the way you must pay
attention to what you are thinking, as you take actions and direct
your thoughts. Feelings are feedback on what you are thinking.
When you are feeling good, you are on the right path for your
own good. When you feel fearful look within and get back into
the joyful expression of everything you do. Choose to be happy in
whatever you are doing. Complete and master all the steps and
finally infuse the special key. You will quickly release the
abundance that is around you into the fortress of beliefs you have
built until now.

Step 1. Know What You Want

Words are the lens to focus ones mind.

Ayn Rand

Begin SPEED Manifesting by setting your Intentions in


a definite, written format of the desired end result with a firm
completion date. You start to communicate what you want by
writing it down as if you are in the picture. Stay focused on
your end Intentions, rather than listing a step by step plan yet.
Until you master SPEED Manifesting the practice of writing
your Intention reveals whether you actually know what you want,
or if you need to go through a process to work it out.
When I arrived in New Zealand in 1988 I had US$15 in
my pocket and two suitcases with all my belongings. I got a job at
a computer company within six weeks. At 26 years old I had
telephone sales experience in Canada and in my new role I earned
$25,000. That year I created my new Intention list for my new
country. I wrote what I wanted, not what I thought I could do. The
list was put away and I got on with settling in with my new man
in a new home. Over a year later I found that list and I was
astounded to see that I had accomplished something that had
seemed an impossible Intention when I wrote it. It read, Be a
manager with salary of $40,000. During that year I had worked
diligently and when someone moved on I took her role handling
all the computer supplies for the branch. Then the structure of the

43
Step 1. Know What You Want

company changed and it took over eight other offices. I was


offered the role to manage the complete supplies division, and the
new salary was exactly $40,000. That possibility was created out
of simply writing it down, because I knew what I wanted.

Writing about the Outcome


If you have not been used to writing down what you want, I
recommend that you start generally about the type of life you
would like to live, and then move to more specific desires. Start
with a fanciful wish list. There is no need to share this list with
anyone, just write things you have always wished to do, to be or
to have. As a wish list it gives you permission to daydream
without the commitment of having to do anything about it. The
wish list time frame can be over your whole lifetime, to give you
a starting point for writing.
Sometimes when you begin the process of deliberate creation
you dont know what you want. This could be for many reasons,
including:

Habit of focusing on what you dont want


Taught that dreams are not real life
Too busy dealing with current stressful circumstances
Holding beliefs about unworthiness
Unclear on your values

If you are stuck and only come up with what you dont want,
just take note of your present state of mind, and allow yourself to
move on. Write the list of what you dont want, and then cross it
out. This is important to show your subconscious to disregard it.
Then go through each item and think of the opposite, and write
that down. If you have had failed relationships, for instance and
you know what you dont want in a partner, use the Universal
Law of Polarity to re-design it. I dont want someone who
smokes then becomes I am spending quality time with my

44
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

loving companion who is committed to health and fitness and


loves fresh clean air.
Your wants and desires are based on values, and values drive
beliefs. Finding out what you really want starts with awareness of
what drives your wants, needs and desires. Uncovering your
personal values can enlighten you to the Whys of your decisions
and reactions. Youll also begin to understand why others that
you love seem to be making bad choices; they are following
different values. When you know your values and consciously use
them to choose, then you can follow your heart with conviction.
You can look at what you want with a clarity and purposefulness
that will guide your life effortlessly. Your decisions become
simple, even if they inconvenience others around you, because
you are following your own principles and values.
Firstly you can write down what you think may be some of
your highest values, and then prioritize them. One thing to
consider is that values are not Virtues. Some of the values you
may find you have are not necessarily a moral statement. They are
just your values; they are your way of deciding and choosing
between going toward things and going away from things. Use
the exercise (in the companion workbook available online) to
distinguish some of your values and their priority in your life.
Then look at aligning your Intentions and your actions to your
values for more powerful manifestations.
If listing your wants is new to you start simply. Be clear, be
precise and be reasonable, and remember to say by when. Ask
for small things first like a visit from a friend, a coffee, or a
special book from the Universe. Then go look for it. This will
begin to build your faith that this stuff works. Big or small, it still
works.

Step 1. Know What You Want

I bargained with Life for a penny


And Life would pay no more...
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty score.
For Life is a just employer
It gives you what you ask
But once you have set the wages
Why you must bear the task.
I worked for a menials hire,
Only to learn dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life
Life would have willingly paid.

-Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill

Playing Big
Are you are ready to play a bigger game? When you are,
it is better to be unreasonable. Create Intentions that you or others
would say are unreasonable or even unattainable, but you really
want them to happen. Then begin to enjoy the ride.
Dream big, if you are ready to take the actions to receive
in a big way. Write about what you want with no boundaries or
limits. The point of an Intention is not so much the achievement;
it is what the achievement makes of you along the way.
Julie had a childhood dream to be the first woman on the
moon. She had not done well in science in school so she had
grown up and moved on in life, and gave up on this unsuitable
dream. When she looked at
doing this Wish List writing To believe that what has not
exercise without limits, she occurred in history will not
put her childhood dream back
occur at all is to argue disbelief
on the list because after all
in the dignity of man.
these years she still wanted to
go into space. She said she felt Mahatma Gandhi
a little silly putting it there
when it was impossible. Within a few moments of
contemplating it, she suddenly got very excited. She realized that
maybe it was still a possibility 30 years later, because she had
recently read an article about Sir Richard Bransons bid to take a
commercial flight into space.
Remember you do not have to know how to do it to
begin. You dont have to do it all by yourself. You may not even
finish the job before you pass it on to the next generation of
creators, but is that a reason not to use all your talent to get it
started? I encourage you to reach for the stars. You might just
make it to the moon.

47
Step 1. Know What You Want

One of my Intentions may be considered big and others


might say totally unreasonable. I will share it with you so you
understand big Intentions. My Intention is to assist in the
transition from the current calendar to a 28-day calendar so we
can shift our consciousness and synchronize with the rhythm of
the universe. I have not lost my mind, because after researching
the idea for two years and trying it out, to me this is totally
reasonable and makes much more sense than our current out of
sync calendar. My life has taken on a natural flow since using this
and I have come across businesses that are already using a 28 day,
13 month cycle for their reporting and sales cycles because it is
more effective.
Is it a wild Intention to change a widely used calendar?
Others may find it as useful as I have. After setting my Intention
and dwelling on it for a time, I decided to create, use and
distribute a new diary planner so that individuals and businesses
can have a better way to go with the orderliness of the Universe.
This is my desire and you can choose any Intention you truly
desire if you can be free from figuring out how to accomplish it
before you commit to it. Just be willing to surrender to the work
you are called to do out of your Intentions.
Now, for your Intentions choose some that are worthy of
you. Some will come from your desires, and some from your
Purpose. Make some fun, make some personal, make some
transitory and simple, and finally make one or two that you
cannot possibly do. Then, after you have set them, spend time
contemplating and meditating on how you might possibly start.

Ideas for Writing


1. Wish List & Intentions List. These are your main lists. Start
with your general desires. Then once you have created a list,
choose the ones you would like on this years Intentions List.
Write in the present or continuous past tense, like I am,
never I will... Future or conditional tense have no power in
the NOW. You never arrive at a future! Use the suggested
page worksheets (companion workbook available online) to
brainstorm your desires and turn them into definite orders.

2. Diary Planner. Write what you desire within the next year
and put it in the front of your diary. Regularly look at it, read
it and feel the joy and satisfaction each item brings.

3. Intention Card. On a wallet sized card write one or two


intentions and carry it with you to remind your subconscious.
Read it out loud each day with grateful thanks for already
receiving.

4. Dream Day. Write or record a detailed story of your Dream


Day. Start with It is... (the date) and I am...(with...) (doing...)
(at...) (in...). You are allowed to make it an unusually long
day, with all your ultimate hearts desires to experience,
have, do and be. Use emotive, descriptive language. Read or
play this often and feel the happiness and joy as you read. Do
you remember the 1980s movie, Groundhog Day with Bill
Murray? He had to repeat the same day over and over again.
If you had to live out this Dream Day for the rest of your life,
what would it need to be for you to love it?

49
Step 1. Know What You Want

5. Family Wish List. We keep a


sheet of paper inside our
kitchen pantry door. When
anyone in the family wants
something substantial to buy
or do, we put it on the list.
We have completed several
since we started this in 2005
and it has been fun and
inspiring to watch as we
realize our wishes. We check
off accomplished items as
we go. It also teaches my
children to focus on what they want without the instant
gratification of thoughtless buying. Yes, I teach them they
can have anything they want, but it is still important for them
to feel gratitude and understand their involvement in the
process of creating.

In all of these ways be clear and precise. In Step 1, focus on


the outcome, not the process. If you say I want $20,000 by this
September, you may get it in a way you would prefer not to
inheritances and insurance payouts are ways of getting this type
of money. Remember that money is energy. You would never ask
for 100 watts of electricity; instead you would ask for a reading
lamp. What are you planning to do with the money? Perhaps what
you really mean is that you would like to have that amount in the
bank to be free to do what you want on a weekly basis. Then
think of the freedom and feel the joy of experiencing every day
like a Saturday.

50
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

Again, absolutely leave the how out of it while you are


writing your wants. How is pondered and meditated upon after
you have stated and clarified your desires. What do you want the
money for? Focus on the purpose behind the lump sum, such as
the way of life you can imagine, or the car, the holiday, a closet
full of clothes, a great relationship, changing the planet or leaving
a legacy.
It's alright to ask for a weekly income sum, but you must state
an amount. I know someone who wouldn't say a specific amount
because he felt it was too limiting, he said, since the Universe is
unlimited. Yes, the Universe is unlimited, but it needs a clear
and specific request with a time frame in order to build the bridge
for delivery. He still struggles at getting enough to pay his
family's weekly bills, but he resists committing to a clear amount.
If you were to go to the local hardware shop and order some
wood, you'd need to tell them how much so they could arrange
the shipment. If you told them you didn't want to say, the
hardware shop would not send it until they could confirm what
you expect. Are you building a house or table? The Universe is
the same.
Ask yourself what you would like to experience, be, do or
have within each intention. Write down your general desires first,
and then make it more specific. Continue to get more descriptive
about your Wish List. Turn it into an Intentions list and put an
approximate date of completion.
Just as the archer must aim his sight higher than he intends in
order to reach over the distance and hit his bullseye, you must be
prepared to aim higher than the result you seek. We are taught a
hit or miss mentality. Life is more like archery, as the closer you
get, the better the prize, and anything on the target adds points.

51
Step 1. Know What You Want

Once you have set your Intentions list ask yourself:


Am I willing to take action to achieve it?
Am I willing to do things differently?
Am I willing to put sustained focus and effort into it?

If not, then change the Intention. This is creating, not a free


ride. You can create all you truly desire in life, but you must be
willing to take action and do things differently than you have in
the past.
When you write a definite, specific list of what you desire
you will speed up the flow. Things will come to you lightning
fast, in their own order. You can have more stuff to play with, be
free financially to live the life you dream about, have the
experiences and the relationships. You can serve and work for
very great causes.
This step is so powerful that opportunities will come in front
of you as a direct result of creating this list. But will you dismiss
them, deny them or refuse them because you expect that the act of
wishing for them will get them? Beyond the wish, your decision
to focus on what you want, combined with the willingness to
receive it by taking action will be the difference between the way
it has been in the past, and the new future into which you are
venturing now.

Review of 7 Steps

Fill in the blank:

Step 1. Know What You _______

53
Step 2. Imagine with Emotion

Step 2. Imagine with Emotion

Imagination is the beginning of


creation. You imagine what you desire,
you will what you imagine and at last
you create what you will.
George Bernard Shaw

Your next step toward manifesting is to use your


incredible power of imagination to daydream and visualize your
desires. This activates an emotional part of your mind and is the
communication device to the Universe; Imagine with Emotion.
This step involves both doing and being.

Match Your Imagination Style


Considering that there are three known learning styles, it
is useful to discover your own and use that to imagine. Visual,
Auditory and Sensory learning styles show the way our brain
processes and integrates information. Using these you have
powerful choices to engage your imagination. To find out which
is your predominant style, think about which way is easiest for
you to learn something new. Also, listen to yourself and your
words.

54
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

Here are some ways of identifying your style through


your predominant words:
I see what you mean, It paints a good picture. (Visual)
That rings a bell, That sounds great. (Auditory)
That feels right, Thats touching! (Sensory)
We all use these words and phrases, but you will use your
predominant style most. When I used to teach software, I quickly
found out someones learning style by asking if they preferred to
listen, watch or drive the computer mouse themselves. Every
single student knew immediately which way was easiest to learn,
and that determined their style. When I matched my style to theirs
they learned quickly.

Visual
If you primarily process through visual senses, then
dreamboards and visionboards work quickly for you. Create
dreamboards that you look at. Put pictures and photos on your
phone, in your computer and on wall posters. Create a collage, a
picture poster of what you want your life to be and to look like.
Gather a large piece of paper, glue, scissors and magazines,
holiday brochures or photographs. Look through the magazines
and choose any images or words which appeal to you. Don't
rationalise or think too much, just grab anything you like and
place it on the board. Once it is complete, place it somewhere you
can look at often.
Another way to create a powerful visual dreamboard is on
the inside cover of your diary. You can carry it with you all the
time and whenever you get stuck waiting in a line somewhere you
can take it out and look at it. It can be like an instant mini holiday.
The point is to generate the feelings of anticipation and joy on a
regular and consistent basis.

55
Step 2. Imagine with Emotion

Auditory
As an Auditory you will listen to sounds more than most
people. When you test drive a car, you tune in to the sounds of the
engine, listen to the tone of the doors as they clunk or click when
they close, hear the absence of road noise or flick on the stereo
system and turn up the volume. Tune into these sounds when you
imagine. Hearing the music and sounds will bring you into your
desired state. Visualize and meditate with soothing music. Listen
to anything in the world around you that sounds like wealth, love,
closeness, joy, freedom and abundance. Record your spoken
Dream Day into an audio and listen to it in your car, while
waiting in lines, or any spare time to get yourself into a vibration
while listening to your own Intentions. Use sounds to imagine
with emotion and bring that into the NOW.

Sensory
As a touch-feel person you use all five senses, so go out
and experience your desires use test drives, walk-throughs,
smells, sounds, tastes and touch. Try on the ring and feel the cool
metal on your finger. Take a holiday giving you the lifestyle and
feeling of the way you choose to live. Go to a wedding and
imagine yourself in their place if you intend to attract your perfect
loving mate. Go to a playground or play center and have a coffee
there if you intend to have children. Have an actual experience of
your desires. When you meditate and imagine, move your hands
and body to reach for the Intention (no one else tells you to do
this but you have permission and it feels right, because you are
a Sensory).
Optionally, feel free to doodle while you are listening! Or
if you are an artist or enjoy painting and drawing, use your talents
to create with your hands. Draw detailed images of your desires
and then touch and hold them often. Put your energy of
anticipation and joy into each stroke of the brush or pencil. Use

56
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

clay if you prefer to bring your thought image into the real image.
Then use your imagination to make the piece come alive. Find
and awaken the feeling within to make this happen using your
body. You may be astounded at the fast results.
We use all three styles, but you will have one dominant
way of thinking. If you are not visual-dominant, that's probably
why you find a standard poster visionboard doesn't work for
you well. A coaching client said that vision boards never really
worked for her. When we explored her imagination style she
realized that she was strongly sensory and this helped her to use
her imagination in a more powerful way. After understanding
about differences in people she felt free to walk through her
beautiful feeling garden and put herself inside of her own 3D
vision board and from then on she had great success using Step 2.
When you become aware of your own learning style you
can SPEED the manifestation. The purpose of this is to allow you
to connect your imagination with the feelings and positive
emotions you associate through your dominant senses that help
you with already being, having and doing.

High Tech Dreamboards


As mentioned, if you prefer you can keep a technology
dreamboard on any device using graphical wallpaper, slideshows
or screensavers. There are fantastic products on the Internet that
allow you to put together an electronic collage or slideshows from
stock photos too. Manifesting movies are an excellent way to
combine all learning styles and easily create, and we have some
samples available for you to use on YouTube.
www.youtube.com/speedmanifesting
The point about Dreamboards is that you will watch them
come true. Once I was standing at Kangaroo Point, admiring the
view of the river in the beautiful city of Brisbane, Australia, near

57
Step 2. Imagine with Emotion

my new job. Later that night I was looking at my dreamboard, and


I was startled but quite pleased to realize that there was a picture
from the exact spot I had been standing that morning. That
Dreamboard had been put together before I moved to Australia,
and when I placed it on my Dreamboard I knew it was a picture of
Brisbane, but its a big city. I live an hour outside the city and I
have never worked anywhere else in Brisbane except along that
route. How interesting.
There are many other things that I have received through
my dreamboard; more family fun, more cash, more opportunities
and more passion in my relationship. The dreamboard engages
your imagination and feelings of desire. It focuses your vision. It
allows your subconscious brain to work away in the background,
watching for opportunities to deliver. It allows the formless
intelligence of the Universe to prepare for delivery through
activating your emotions and expectations.

Imagination Time
If you are practising SPEED Manifesting you will need
to meditate or imagine quietly daily even for only 5 minutes
multiple times to engage and align your subconscious mind with
your Divine Source. This comes through the quiet listening to the
Universe as you visualize your desires as already complete.

Step 3. FEEL Gratitude

The grateful mind expects good


things, and expectation becomes faith.
Wallace D Wattles

Whats the magic word? How many times were you asked that
as a child? Please and thank you are magic words. Your parents
werent kidding. Think about it: if you use these words you are
considered well mannered and polite. When you are travelling
internationally, these are the two phrases in any language that
help the most, besides where is the toilet? If you dont use them
you would be considered rude. When people use them with you,
how do you feel? Do you want to help more? Maybe, but when
people dont use them you feel less inclined to help, dont you?
The day my life changed forever, where I accepted and
received my power and place in the Universe was the day I truly
learned about feeling gratitude; it was gratitude in thanks for what
I was about to receive. This is a critical part to manifesting, and
gratitude connects you instantly to your Source and Creator, God
and the Universe. Being centered on gratitude brings inner
happiness, and being happy brings a sense of gratitude about life
that is unshakeable.
When I was young and my grandparents said Grace
before dinner I missed the point completely. It seemed like a
ritual then, but now I realize that this allows us a moment to stop
and be in an emotional state, feeling the gratitude of receiving in
advance.

60
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

In the past, only when I was at the end of my wits and


needed help the most, would I beg and cry out for it. My prayers
were something like, Please help me. Often my cries would be
answered. But I went through a lot of suffering and then I got to a
place of begging in sincere destitution. I didnt think I was
supposed to bother the Universe for small, daily requests. I
thought I was supposed to do it all myself. Prayer equals
gratitude, and a more powerful prayer is thankfulness in advance.
Praying is an intentional conversation of gratitude with your
Source Energy.
The feeling of gratitude is a warm content place. It is a
place of deep heartfelt understanding and knowing you have
already been blessed to receive, regardless of what circumstances
are in front of your eyes, or have been in the past. It is from the
imaginative perspective of being in the future, looking back
joyfully at your desires as already accomplished, already
complete and already in place.
Even with incredibly challenging circumstances, find this
gratefulness and you may start to get immediate relief from some
of the suffering in which you may be involved. Sometimes you
will even get a miracle of release, forgiveness and healing in a
moment's shift, to give you a completely new perspective.
Feel your gratefulness in the moment. Find your own way
to change how you are feeling in the moment. Get up and dance.
Listen to beautiful music. Hold a kitten or a puppy. Drive to a
scenic area. Feel prosperous, feel healthy, feel peaceful, feel love.
Be grateful to the Source of all that comes to you, the Universe.
Do not get mixed up with the Source of all your good. If
you pat yourself on the back, your gratitude is misdirected. Its
good to appreciate yourself. But remember, as a co-creator, your
part is Asking. Then direct your thankfulness to the Intelligent
Energy that gives you all that you ask. Your actions, other people
and perfect circumstances are the channel to deliver your

61
Step 3. FEEL Gratitude

Intention, and thanks is always in appreciation of the whole


process. Just remember to direct your constant gratitude to that
Source Energy and know that it is truly not you who delivers all
that you ask. That would be doing Life the hard way. The easy
way is this: you ask, and the Universe delivers.

Appreciation
Appreciation feels like unconditional love, without
attachment or requirement. It is the living experience of your
connection to Source Energy.
If you struggle with any of your relationships, find
something that you appreciate. Have a look around at other
people's circumstances, or watch the evening news (only this
once) to see if perhaps you can
be thankful and grateful for
Begin where you are,
something. Maybe your partner
is not perfect, but stop looking expressing love.
at what they dont do and begin Catherine Ponder
to appreciate all the small,
things that they are doing.
In the movie Bridget Jones Diary she is trying to explain
to her Thai prison mates how her boyfriend mistreats her, because
he ignored her at a London dinner party and acted stuck up. They
were concerned for her as they explained how their boyfriends
mistreated them too by beating them up, making them prostitute
themselves and take drugs. Bridget then saw how she had been so
upset at small things until she saw a another perspective.
Lets not focus on bad things in life, but instead be aware
of how great you have it now. For me, it began with paying
attention to the small things, so that I could begin to appreciate
the huge things I did have in my life, but were being blocked out
and eclipsed by my perspective, my judgements, my opinions, my
disappointments and my expectations. What I realized was that

62
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

nothing ever seemed enough for me. The moment that I


accomplished a task or an Intention, I would be onto the next
level. I was not stopping to enjoy the flowers along the way, and I
thought I had to do it all myself.
Looking for more is a natural part of outward, ever
unfolding growth. You achieve, and then a new desire is born
within you. It isnt long before you have bigger dreams and
Intentions. That is the natural order of things, but still be in
appreciation and be grateful continuously.
You could detail the things to come as if you already hold
them and say to yourself:
Thank you for...
...my perfect health and vitality.
...my calm and happy family life.
...my partners love and support.
...my wonderful home.
...my caring parents.

Wake up with gratitude. Brush your teeth in gratitude. Be


grateful throughout the day. Go to bed in gratitude for today and
tomorrow.
If you are not sure how to start, use your own personal
Gratitude Journal (in workbook version available online).
Even if you think you are grateful, try this appreciation
exercise: morning and bedtime write down or say out loud all the
things you are grateful for in your life:
1. From Past
2. From Today
3. From Future

63
Step 3. FEEL Gratitude

Put it in the present tense structure, just like you wrote your
Intentions in Step 1. Note anything and be thankful for all the
little things that you have. Begin now, and miracles are sure to
occur from your gratitude.
Exercise your mental muscles and give your imagination
a work out. Go through your list of Intentions and feel what it is
like to have them. Over time look at the previous entries to feel
the gratitude for the things you have already received, big and
small. Feel the joy and appreciation to the Universe for the help
you are getting, always. This principle of gratitude is life
changing, and if you only took this one step of feeling Gratitude,
your life would expand quickly. It is that powerful.

Happiness is an Inside Job


The other side of Gratitude is Happiness. They are linked
in a way that you need to experience to understand. Happiness
becomes the starting point. Happiness is a choice. This is not an
emotion of gratification or an electro-chemical burst of
endorphins in your brain. That is something else. Happiness is not
a destination. Happiness is a state of being, and it is inextricably
linked to gratitude. You feel blessed to be alive and humbled by
the love and support of the Universe and the people around you.
You see the beauty in All That Is. You are not happy because of
the beauty; you are happy and that gives you access to seeing the
beauty of life through the eyes of gratitude.

Step 4. Think Deliberately

Every person has the natural and inherent power to


think what he wants to think, but it requires far more
effort to do so than it does to think the thoughts which
are suggested by appearances.

Wallace D Wattles

Powerful creating comes from your thinking. To manifest


quickly at will requires that you have a basic understanding of
how you are designed to think. All your life you may have been
working hard on setting goals and changing your behaviour and
actions in order to change your circumstances and get results.

Set Goal Take Actions Deal with Obstacles Get Results

(INCORRECT and INCOMPLETE)

Understanding Human Design


You are about to get the first shortcut to thought change,
which is the blueprint to our thinking process:

Thinking Feeling Actions Results!

66
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

Deliberate thinking is a new mental muscle to exercise


and when you put active thinking first, you begin to take control
of the process and then direct your feelings, actions and results.
Many people believe that feelings come first, and if they get
control of their feelings, they can change. I mentioned it earlier:
your feelings are your feedback to your thinking. So its the
thoughts behind the feelings that create, and the power to take
action comes from the feelings. It may take practice at first but to
take control of your thinking is to take control of your life. You
have to begin by understanding how you are wired to think.

Perception and Meaning


You can be acting the same way as the person next to you
and be in the opposite mindset. What are you thinking, scarcity
and lack, or prosperity and abundance? Your words and your
circumstances will let you know what you are thinking.
Jenny came to me for coaching because she knew that she
wanted to be out of a scarcity mentality and yet she believed very
strongly in helping the environment and recycling what she used.
Living in a drought region she also needed to be aware of the
water she used, but asked me how it was possible to be socially
responsible without getting into a scarcity mentality. Living in the
same drought region, I explained that I reuse water and practice
recycling too. My mindset is not in scarcity, though. I told her
that my thoughts on the same actions came from abundance. I
have a joyful expression of respecting nature and the wish to
increase its usage by enjoying it more than once. I am happy and
grateful to the water as I pour my recycled washing water into the
garden. I am also happy and joyful when it rains. There is no lack
and the appreciation and expansion mindset creates more.

67
Step 4. Think Deliberately

Beyond Your Five Senses


The Five Physical Senses represent the only way you
have been programmed to accept input from your body for
perceiving. Although you are unknowingly doing much more, the
authority you give to physical perceptions overrides new
possibilities or fresh outcomes. This bias has come from a world
which demands evidence of truth from only measurable five
senses results.
This requirement of material (physical) proof for
evidence of reality has been out of balance and the result is the
world we have created until now. Your known thinking faculties
are the Five Physical Senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and
touch. Our five senses are like antennae to the outer world, but to
exist in our thinking, other senses must also exist.
These are your Six Mental Senses. Physical input passes
through perception, then reason translates them into ideas. Once
accepted they get stored away in
our Subconscious memories. Six Mental Senses
From then on, our Subconscious Perception
acts out these as stored beliefs and
Reason
values through our Body as
actions, creating results in our Memory
world. Imagination
What is important is to Will
consciously mix your use of your
Intuition
Six Mental Senses with what you
automatically use now, your Five
Physical Senses. Strengthen your Imagination, hold your desire
with your Will, hone your Perception, apply Reason, draw upon
Memory and accept your Intuition into the mix. Develop these

68
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

and you move to a higher level of awareness and thinking power


in life.
Knowing the Six Mental Senses, or your intellectual faculties
will raise your awareness of a non-physical, or unseen world to
create from your thinking, and return the power away from the
machine mind and back to us, as spiritual entities living in a
physical and intellectual body.

Thinking Zombies
I have some good news and some bad news. Your
thinking is also divided into two areas: Conscious and
Subconscious. The good news is that your subconscious handles
all the automatic programming and allows you to not think
about most things your body has to do. The bad news is that your
Subconscious runs your body. It is the gatekeeper. Thats the rule.
So if you want to change something that your body does (like
using Will to take new actions), youll have to get to your
Subconscious Thinking first, or you exhaust yourself with mental
resistance, procrastination and self-sabotage. Without knowing
this, you are stuck in an automatic thinking mode, and your
actions and reactions are based from your previous subconscious
orders. Subconscious habits and memories are used to bypass
your conscious mind and allow you to handle more and more
stimulus from your physical senses. This automatic part of your
mind operates from the past, and you have trained it to perform
many tasks, such as riding a bike or driving a car. When you
forget to get involved in your thinking you become a thinking
zombie.
As new information or a new experience is sensed, there
is confusion and rejection from the subconscious. When you have
a thought that you would like to change, or is not in the direction
of your desires, tell your subconscious; give an order. Say thats
not true, and laugh. Say next, or new thought please. You

69
Step 4. Think Deliberately

will need to distinguish your thoughts before you can choose


them or release them for another, more prosperous thought.
Your conscious mind can then be free to move into
awareness and apply Perception, Reason and Will to decide an
appropriate response as the new experience gets stored in your
Memory. In this way you can begin to tame your thoughts and
create a new direction in your life as your thoughts obey your
Will, your body obeys your thoughts in new actions and
behaviours, and your circumstances begin to respond.

Chattering Voice - Beliefs


Imagine that you hear a voice chattering to you all day,
every day. Until this very moment you thought it was you, but it
is not. It is something else. It sounds like you, but be aware of its
power over you until NOW. It is the somber voice of your past,
and it is recreating your past well into your future if you continue
to associate your Self as it.
I became aware of this voice when I was watching myself
in our family home videos. In real time I was laughing and
commenting as we watched. Then moments later, the other me in
the videos laughed and commented with the same words and
tones in the same way. It was spooky, and afterwards I asked
myself who am I? I felt like I was a recording stuck on
playback loop. It was sobering and disturbing to realize how often
I was being a reaction machine.
Stop for a moment and listen to the voice. It is your
opinions. It is your judgements of others and of yourself. Youll
hear it asking questions, proclaiming its boredom, its
dissatisfaction, its warnings and its condemnation of the world. In
fact, this voice is a constant drone of noise and activity. It does
not always stay inside. It is what often dribbles through to your
speaking. You will recognise it when you realize that it is your
automatic thoughts. It is your evaluation of everything around

70
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

you. It is part of your self-worth concept, and it never seems to


shut up. It sounds something like this:
I agree with that. I dont agree with that. I wonder what time the
game starts. Is there still time to get something to eat? Yes I have
heard all this before. I like that shirt. I wonder how much it costs. I
cant afford that. When is this going to end? I just want to get out of
here. Why do I always sit behind the tallest guy in the place? Why
do I always end up near screaming kids?
Try to separate that part of you, and set it on your
shoulder, allowing it to go on and on, but being able to see that it
is not really who you are. Thinking in this way is automatic, and
it comes from your small mind with the big voice. It is not
deliberate thinking, and you will shift your life by distinguishing
what is real thinking. This voice will create your future, until you
reclaim the power to create by placing yourself back in your
driver's seat.
This is the key to raising your awareness and living a
conscious life. All your beliefs and world views will still exist,
but youll be able to say thanks for your input and then choose
your own actions in the next moment. Could this be a powerful
new way of creating your life?

Quiet Voice - Values


There is another voice to be heard. This is the silent
nudge, the gentle inspiration, the clarity of a moment for what
needs to be done. This voice is not loud, unless ignored at your
peril. Tuning into your inner voice is having an open circuit to
guidance. It is the guardian for your values.
Slow breathing is a great way of receiving this clear
thinking. Using intuition means you need to first open and receive
the channel of communication. This comes through the small
quiet voice when you are still and in a state of no-thinking. Every

Step 4. Think Deliberately

day as you meditate on your Intentions you can receive more


guidance from your inner teacher: your in-tuition.

The Third Mind - Purpose


The Third Mind is the Intelligent Energy of the Universe.
It is the power behind aligning your thoughts for creating. It is the
Divine Source, the heart chakra, the feeling mind or the God
Within. It is experienced as faith, enthusiasm, joy, pure love,
bliss, and true abundance. You can
create using all the principles laid
out here, but you will not be Talent hits a target no
complete in your accomplishments. one else can hit;
You will feel an empty glory if you
Genius hits a target no
have not caressed and folded this
mind into your everyday thinking. one else can see.
When you do, your beliefs, values
Arthur Schopenhauer
and purpose are in harmony. You
may have been disconnected from
this mind because of the effect of
being told religious untruths about what to believe, knowing it
was not in your experience. You only need to ask for this
relationship to be healed to connect again.
Once you begin your personal conversation with the
Divine Mind you will understand what to do with your brilliant
Five Physical Senses (your body) and your incredible Six Mental
Senses (your intellectual mind). The perfect guidance will come
from that which has been waiting to speak with you.
Your thinking is the base from which you create your life.
Begin with awareness. Learn about your design and practise to
become a powerful, deliberate thinker.

Step 5. Beware the Power & Poison of


Words

"As you change your words, you change your world.

As you improve your words, you improve your world.

As you transform your words, you transform your world."

Catherine Ponder, Open Your Mind to Receive

Powerful words have moved armies and stirred


impossible dreams to reality. Yet as individuals we scarcely pay
attention to our words as creations. Although actions speak
louder than words, before they became actions or words they had
to start from a thought. As an extension of your thoughts, words
give away what you are truly thinking, to you and everyone
around you if you listen to yourself. Aligning your thoughts,
words and actions consistently will contract your power of
creating like a laser.

Words Create Your Reality


When someone asks you how you are, consider this: you
are a creator, not a reporter. When you speak, your words are
calling forth the next creation. Speak no evil means that when
you complain, or report disagreeable portions of your current
circumstances, you are voting to continue them. This is how you
get stuck in an endless loop of circumstances. Stop and think
about this before you switch into the reporting mode. Choose

74
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

your next reality by only speaking about things you want to


continue. Combine this with gratitude, finding the good in your
current circumstances and you will see a pleasant stream of good
things coming into your life as the old, unwanted parts drift away.

Talking About What You Dont Want


When I was in my early 40s I had a continuous anaemia
problem. I was so tired that I had to go to bed at 7pm and I woke
up tired at 7am the next morning. I spent two years being sick
and tired. Once I regained my health and energy, I noticed how
often I used that phrase sick and tired. Because it had been such
an issue for me, I changed my automatic way of speaking. Now I
am full of vitality and very thankful for it. So my words match
my thoughts and feelings about my health as well as other areas
of my life. Instead of sick and tired, I say that I have had
enough of something I dont want to continue. Then I use the
Universal Law of Polarity to say what I do want. That takes the
place of the automatic response, relates the thought and aligns my
words with my wants.
When Harry Potters friend and teacher Hagrid said
something he didnt want to say, he would walk away, usually
saying I shouldnt have said that; I should not have said that.
This is the way you can begin to retrain your speaking. Even mid-
way through a sentence, catch yourself and reject the unwanted
thought through words and say wait, let me start again.

Powerful Questions
Questions engage your mind and spirit simultaneously.
That is what makes them so actively powerful. Your right brain is
creative and your left brain is linear. When they work together
you have a new solution from your whole brain. Focus on the
resolution instead of the problem, and you can have an instant

75
Step 5. Beware the Power & Poison of Words

turnaround in thinking. This can bring fast results, so learn to


switch into asking a question of yourself when you are stuck.
One method of using questions to change your thinking is
to reframe the problem as a solution and start with the words
How can I... I had a student who was finding life very difficult.
Jennys small voice kept getting stuck in unproductive questions
like why me or why do I always mess things up? Because
questions engage both sides of your brain, you are sure to find an
answer that correlates with the question. I taught her a better way
of getting the answers she really wants by asking a better
question. The next week she had an amazing turnaround in her
creativity and ideas, and has been using this simple method ever
since.
Another way you can use questions powerfully is by
shifting the question to ask to remove the block, resistance, or
negative beliefs that hold us back. Sometimes it is too big a step
to ask How can I be a millionaire? If you find that you are
getting stuck, try asking for the barrier to be removed. How can I
release resistance to being a millionaire? can be a powerful tool
in bringing the midway step so you can then move on to creating
more abundance once you have moved into a greater acceptance
and less resistance to your hearts desires.

Affirmations
Vain repetitions are empty powerless words. The
feeling behind the word is what gives energy to the creative force
of actions. Turn affirmations into your thankful prayer of
gratitude. Use them as a tool to quickly change your state of
mind, release an unwanted thought and replace it with a more
prosperous thought.
If your affirmations feel like a lie, work on rewording
them so you accept them. If it makes you feel the lack or want,

76
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

then you can look at what holds you back in your subconscious.
Write them down or if you prefer, speak them out loud.
Once I heard of a man who had resistance to writing
down his affirmations multiple times. When Jonathon did some
exercises to reveal his subconscious thoughts, he realized that in
school he was punished for speaking in class by writing 100 times
I will not talk in class. This experience held him back from
accepting his written affirmations with a positive emotion, so
instead he chose to speak his affirmations. Whichever way works
better for you, just make sure your affirmations are in the form of
thanks, and are meaningful positive words repeated with thought
and feeling.

I am
The two most powerful words to start the power of
creation are the words I am. In Conversations With God5 Neale
Donald Walsch explains that this sets creation in motion and
draws experiences to you, calling forth energy so powerful that it
is fast and furious in its manifestation.
I once met a woman who had a friend with Tattoos on his
feet. One foot said I am cold, and the other Me too. After two
years he had to get them removed because his feet were always
intolerably cold. That was supposed to be a joke, but he
experienced the power of the word.
What do you habitually say after these words I am?
Too many people have picked up words from other people in their
lives that diminish who they are. I am such a klutz, I am
stupid, I am such a jerk...twit, whatever. These words sound so
harsh, yet many people say them about themselves. Turn it around
and use this powerful principle to create something great about
yourself.

77
Step 5. Beware the Power & Poison of Words

Because your subconscious hears words and takes them


as an order, words are creating the next move you make. Jokes
and clichs are more powerful than you believe.
In one of my classes, a man was having many years of
serious financial hardship. Joe had gone bankrupt, got divorced
and lost everything. He had previously been very financially
secure with a good business, yet
for 7 years he had not been able
to come back from his financial Dont expect what you

made it out to himself for a
Raymond Holliwell
million dollars. He had it on the
fridge so he could look at it every
day. Then he said, The trouble is, every time I open the door it
falls off and bounces.
Joe thought that he was helping himself get through his
hard times by laughing and making light of a difficult situation.
But in fact his constant joking about his lack in many areas of his
life was keeping him in scarcity. Your subconscious doesnt have
a sense of humour, so it takes everything seriously as a request to
be fulfilled, like the genie in the bottle. Have fun, laugh and be
merry for the things that are joyful in life, not the things you do
not wish to continue.
In his book Working With The Law, author Raymond
Holliwell explained this in the most concise and simple way I
have ever heard. He says, Dont expect what you dont want, and
dont want what you dont expect.6 This is how you get a self-
fulfilling prophecy.
We had a cat named Bounty for 16 years. She was named
after a chocolate bar. We used to say Bounty, Bounty, Bounty,

78
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

three times as a fun way of calling our beloved pet. Our life was
certainly bountiful when we were always calling her. Maybe my
next pet will be called Goldie, because we understand the power
of the spoken word.
My husband and I were taking a scenic drive on an
undulating road through a beautiful ancient forest near our home
one day, and we found ourselves behind two trucks. They had to
slow down at the steep hills, and the diesel fumes were not
pleasant. But we enjoyed the ride and focused on using the slower
speed to look around. They eventually allowed us to pass and we
continued on our way. As the journey took us longer than we
expected and we needed to pick up our child at school, we began
watching the time. We were making good time and there was no
one ahead of us. Then my husband said At least we are not
behind a truck. Being with this man for over 20 years, I knew
better than to try coaching him just then, so I said nothing. Within
five minutes, guess what we were travelling behind? It was a slow
truck that we could not pass. That is SPEED Manifesting. We
had a laugh, as he became aware of it and I suggested that he
manifest it out of his way too. And he did, shortly after.

Keeping Your Word


Integrity to yourself means keeping all verbal agreements
you make with yourself and others. The Universe is a reflection of
you, so if you do not keep your commitments and do what you
say you are going to do, why would the Universe? This integrity
is about the power of the consistent spoken word, not right and
wrong. Demonstrate how you want the Universe to deliver to you
by keeping your word. I once heard it described that The Christ
could manifest from matter because he was so complete in
integrity. When he spoke, his intentional Word was so pure that
even matter moved for him.

79
Step 5. Beware the Power & Poison of Words

Powerful words can help you create by being your bond,


when giving your word as a promise. The word promise has a
certain energy about it. When my mother spoke the words, I knew
with certainty that it would happen. My sister and I had been
moved seven times during our primary school years, and when we
got to high school my mother talked about moving again one day.
My sister and I invited her to our bedroom and told her that we
wanted her to promise something to us. She looked amused and
perplexed as she sat down, and we asked her to promise that we
would be able to stay at the same high school for five years. With
a look of understanding and determination she said I promise.
Then we knew we could be secure in the knowledge that she
would do whatever was possible to keep us at that school. In the
future, even when she looked at moving, she only contemplated
homes within our school zone and we were free to form
friendships and commit to activities knowing we would be there
throughout our high school years, all on the power of a word.
In turning around my life, I made a promise to my 12
year old that in one year we will have all the money we need.
He needed braces for his teeth and at that time even that looked
impossible. I was selling excess belongings on eBay, and we had
only just made the decision to sell our home. I had no idea how it
was all going to happen, but with the strength of my word to my
child, it gave me all the incentive I needed to make sure it
happened, and the Universe came to my side to give with
abundance. His teeth are now straight and we were given all the
ways we needed to keep that promise.

Gossip
Gossip is a conversation that undermines. Everything
that goes around comes around, and it is more productive for your
positive creating if you do not engage in gossip. If you would like
to get out of negative influences around you but you are

80
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

committed to being with work associates or family members who


gossip, there are ways of handling it so that you are being positive
and increasing the attraction of good things and people.

The moment you get involved in a conversation that undermines,


you could try these responses:

Thats interesting.

Who could you talk to that can do something about it?

Will you excuse me please?

You can support those around you even if you dont agree
with them. It is not about changing those around you. Only
change yourself and you will find that your world changes.

Words of Encouragement and Appreciation


Appreciation is not flattery. It is a true acknowledgement
of the things you like and appreciate in another. We live in a
desert of appreciation and by speaking these encouraging words
you can attract all manner of positive helpful people to you.
Make a habit of looking for something to appreciate and
then express it. Encourage the greatness you see in another so
they can start to see it for themselves. I once heard that we live
inside a box, and the instructions to get out of the box are on the
outside of the box. This may be a good illustration for why it is so
easy to see the problems and solutions of others while we cannot
see our own. I believe those instructions are written in the
language of encouragement and appreciation.

81
Step 5. Beware the Power & Poison of Words

Practising deliberate speaking is equivalent to putting on


a smile to change your attitude. You are starting with the outside
to affect the inside. Through words this is one way to give
yourself the awareness of your thoughts, and you can then choose
to change within. Your desires are made manifest through your
own experience of hearing yourself speak about them, and
perhaps for the first time, hearing what desires you have. They
lead you from your desires as a transition into actions, your next
part of creating.

"Having vision is not enough. Change


comes through realising the vision
and turning it into a reality. It is easy
to espouse worthy goals, values and
policies; the hard part is
implementation."

Sir Peter Blake

When you are living in a partnership of co-creating with


the Universe, the responsibilities are shared. Your part includes
communicating where you are going, and getting busy to go in
that direction.
When my husband proposed to me we were on a plane
flying to Toronto, Canada to spend a snowy white Christmas with
my family. We had already lived together for three years in New
Zealand and while we were on that 15 day holiday we talked
about the logistics of two families getting together over 12,000
miles, or planning a wedding remotely, We realized that we were
almost ready to elope. Luckily we decided to get married then.
We had 10 days to plan the wedding and make all the
arrangements during the busy Christmas Holiday season. We got
involved in some serious SPEED Manifesting as we focused on
our intention of the wedding.

84
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

We wrote a list of everything we wanted and took each


step one at a time. First we checked if we could get a marriage
license. Once we arranged our marriage license we found a
Celebrant willing to marry us on New Years Day, our chosen
date. Then my husband hired a tuxedo and I found a white
wedding dress off the rack that was the perfect fit. We bought our
wedding rings and finally looked for a place for the ceremony.

That was the only complicated step as I had imagined having the
ceremony in a beautiful public conservatory surrounded by
flowers while it was -20 degrees Celsius outside
(-4 degrees Fahrenheit) and the ground was thick with snow. We
stayed calm and firm in our intention and it worked out fine after
a few phone calls to supervisors and making extra license
payments for using the venue on a public holiday. All this came
together in the most amazing way, plus my familys arrangements
to fly in at short notice. With twenty of our closest family and
friends we had a magical celebration, and we even got a surprise
from my parents with a limo to take us back to the reception. I
fulfilled my dream and got to wave to all sorts of surprised people
as I stood up through the sun roof just like in the movie Big
with Tom Hanks. We were both calm and focused at each step
and we got help along the way. We had decided on the outcome
and the rest were steps to be handled as we came across them. We
didnt think of obstacles, only of our intention and our next
orderly actions, assuming it was all going to work out fine.

85
Step 6. Take ACTION

Decision
For many frustrated people, the action step is the place of
hidden resistance. Making only a few differences in your
behaviour will have an astounding effect on your results. The
action starts with decision. Although in Step 1 you have pondered
and detailed what you want, taking action is deciding to receive.
If you only write a list of your Intentions and create a
Dreamboard, then lock yourself away just to imagine and feel,
you will be wondering what happened and why didnt I get what
I asked for, if this Law of Attraction stuff really works?
Deciding to receive allows you to Take Action.

80/20 Rule of Actions


Think of the co-creation partnership as an 80/20 rule,
where you begin with 20% and the Universe does 80%. You
decide, imagine, feel and get busy, without worrying about the
right way to do things. As you get busy and move around in your
life, meeting people, going places and accepting opportunities you
open the flow of life. The synchronicity of the Universe then has
many chances to deliver all that you ask and more.
Since your actions make up 20 percent of the work, be
aware that you are already activating your desires. Keep busy,
make plans and follow through. Ask in thoughts, words and
actions and the Universe will do its part, at least 80 percent of the
work, all in perfect time.
Remember the story about the devoted believer who
found himself caught in one of natures tantrums? As the storm
grew worse a policeman came by his house and offered to give
him a ride out. The man said he was a true believer in God, and
he knew that God would save him. A short time later he had to
move to the roof of his house as a raging flood rose up. A man in
a row boat came by and offered him a lift. He said no thanks,

86
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

God will save me. Then a helicopter came by, and tried to airlift
him out, but he said no thanks, God will save me. The waters
rose up and up, and finally he was consumed by the floods. He
perished there and when he got to heaven he demanded of God,
Why didnt you save me? I believed in you so much that I lost
my life. And God replied, What more do you want? I sent you a
police car, a boat and a helicopter.

Creating a Vacuum
One of my favorite authors, Catherine Ponder, talks about
the Vacuum Law of Prosperity. It is such an easy and accessible
Law to take action and bring more into your life. Using it can
speed your manifestation. My
friends decided that they wanted to "Thought is the blossom;
use this principle so they sold their
large bulky lounge suite on eBay language the bud; action
even without having a new one. As the fruit behind it."
it was being loaded and taken
away they were looking for Ralph Waldo Emerson
another one on eBay. There and
then for $100 more they bought exactly what they wanted. It only
showed up once they physically moved the old lounge suite out.
Where to begin? You can choose from this list to speed your
results:

Give away or sell clothes you havent worn for a year


Move out large furniture too big for current room
Throw away any items that are broken or chipped

Release all that is unused, unrepaired or unwanted. This begins a


circulation of energy that will allow more to come into your life.

87
Step 6. Take ACTION

Orderly Actions and Inspired Actions


Your life can be orderly in a way that hastens attraction.
Removing the clutter of your mind (within) and around you
(without) can surprisingly deliver in an astonishingly quick way.
Then be involved in orderly actions, like keeping a diary planner,
writing out an action plan, completing a To-Do list and contacting
specific people. Carry out these tasks without attachment to them.
Decide what to do next, then act. Acting on plans in an orderly
manner is following the perfect order of the Universe.
Give yourself time to complete the following items and you
will find an unbelievable peace and calmness as you lift the
negative energy and stress of incomplete tasks from your life.
You will be able to find things easier and you will be able to
think more clearly:

organise desk
empty email Inbox
clean house
wash windows
weed garden
clean car, inside and out
get taxes up to date
clean and organize closets

The ancient practice of Feng Shui reflects 5,000 years of


Chinese knowledge and experience of order. Put simply, when
your actions put your physical world in order, you are ready to
receive. At first I thought Feng Shui7 was about de-cluttering for a
visual effect. As I used the principles further I experienced
immediate and undeniable results in several areas of my life.

88
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

When I cleaned and organized my office I was able to think more


clearly and I found that new opportunities came to me within a
week.
Combined with inspired actions that occur to you along the
way you have a powerful creative process occurring. When you
are inspired to carry out your actions everything will flow, doors
will open for you, and people will come to you. You will have an
idea of something to try or do next. There is no hurry, no forcing
an outcome. You do not have to do it all yourself, so just focus on
what seems like the next step, and carry it out without delay.
When we decided to sell our home and move to Australia, we
contacted a real estate agent and put our house on the market. It
was October and we always thought that was when our house
looked the best and so it would sell quickly. As Christmas came
closer and the house had no offers yet, the agent wanted to drop
the price. We preferred to wait and decided to take it off the
market and do some painting in the house. My husband spent the
holidays painting one long hallway and we replaced some old
spotlights with new updated fittings. This cost about $300 and it
took about two weeks to paint. We got a professional valuation
and put it on the market ourselves after Christmas for $45,000
more than the agent had listed it. We had open days every
Saturday and Sunday from 12pm-3pm. We baked bread for the
aroma and had classical music playing in the background. We
also began to continuously think about all the things we loved
about the house that someone else would enjoy. We stayed
focused on releasing the home to someone else and visualized
shaking hands with the happy new owners as we were free to
move to another country in the place of our dreams. Our house
sold for $40,000 more than the agent listed it and we didnt even
have to pay commissions.

89
Step 6. Take ACTION

Assumptive Actions
To activate your feelings of already having your desires
you can use actions representing your faith that your Intentions
are coming. Ask yourself What would I be doing now if I
believed it was coming tomorrow? Then act as-if. Begin
talking to real estate agents or car dealers. Make appointments
with lenders about mortgage requirements. Go to travel shows.
Take before photos of your car, with the Intention of seeing it
beside the after photo of your dream car. Arrange insurance
quotes for an intended item. If you are looking for a new
relationship, instead of sleeping in the middle of your bed, sleep
on one side and get two pillows. Clear out half your closet or
bathroom cupboard. Finally you are ready to make bookings or
deposits in faith. Youll move from hope, through faith, into
knowing. Show the Universe that you expect and accept your
desired good by taking positive actions representing your ultimate
outcome.

Time Integrity
Even as you keep your word, also keep your
appointments on time and do the things you plan to do. Imagine
that the Universe is listening and waiting for your next step, so it
can meet you along the way. What if the perfect person or
circumstance is set in motion the moment you indicate your desire
and your initial actions? Synchronicity is happening all around
you. However, if you are habitually late, or changing your plans,
consider that you may be slowing the receipt of your desires.
What if circumstances were all set up to be at the right place at
the right time, but you missed it because you did not keep to
your plans?
Use your intuition along with your orderly actions.
Sometimes it will be imperative to be where you said you were
going to be. Remember, the Universe you experience is truly your

90
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

Universe. It is a reflection of you. If you relate to time


inconsistently, why would the Universe do anything but what you
do? You are your own Universe. Following an orderly way of
living allows for straightforward delivery of your creations. If the
Universe knows where you are going it can meet you on the way.
The Universe then sets in motion many circumstances, people and
events to assist you. It is easy for the Universe to deliver
everything and anything you choose, just like Aladdins genie in
the bottle.
When your deepest desires and fondest dreams come to
you, be ready to accept them. You will need to use the power of
synchronicity to work with the Universe to receiving. Your action
is the final part of creating. It is the way of receiving what has
been brought to you.

Step 7. Start Circulation for Increase

Remember, it is not the money you


give; it is the idea back of the giving
that is so vital.
Raymond Holliwell

Life exists through moving around in circulation. Air and


water are fresh when circulating and become stagnant when still
for too long. Creating and attracting what you desire is not a
bringing to you to hoard and keep; rather it is a bringing through
you to continue moving onward and outward. Nothing is meant to
stay still, and that includes the energy from money, people, things
and ideas.

Increase versus Trading


The Start Circulation principle is something that is not
part of our current worldview. If you can, take the current
worldview, which is that we trade for everything, and suspend
that just while you play with this idea to see what comes out of it.
Whether we talk about money, love or health, they can all
illustrate Circulation with regard to manifesting.
When we look at nature, what we see are systems in
circulation flowing one way, all connecting back into many
different systems. Call it the Circle of Life or the Cycle of Living,
but we are all connected in many different ways. Nature doesnt

93
Step 7. Start Circulation for Increase

grow in reverse. If we imagine water flowing, it flows one way.


When it tries to flow two ways, like in rapids, it slows down.
Nature is about abundant giving and allowing others to give, like
the concept of Paying It Forward.
Thomas Troward was an influential writer and lecturer in
the early 1900s and he said that we are divine centres of
distribution. Your wealth is meant to be passed along. He says:

Life ultimately consists in circulation, whether within the


physical body of the individual or on the scale of the entire
solar system; and circulation means a continual flowing
around, and the spirit of opulence is no exception to this
universal law of all life.
When once this principle becomes clear to us we shall see that
our attention should be directed rather to the giving than the
receiving. We must look upon ourselves, not as misers chests
to be kept locked for our own benefit, but as centres of
distribution; and the better we fulfil our function as such
centers the greater will be the corresponding inflow. If we
choke the outlet the current must slacken, and a full and free
flow can be obtained only by keeping it open. The spirit of
opulencethe opulent mode of thought, that isconsists in
cultivating the feeling that we possess all sorts of riches which
we can bestow upon others, and which we can bestow liberally
because by this very action we open the way for still greater
supplies to flow in.8

An ancient story shares this wisdom: there was a man


who was shown the doors of heaven and hell. When the door of
hell was opened he saw a strangely horrifying scene. Through the
door was a room filled with people chained to chairs around a
large pot of steaming stew. They were gaunt, thin and starving.
The aroma of the delicious stew filled the room. They each had a
soup spoon with a long handle, long enough to get to the pot in

94

front of them. The man noticed that even though they could reach
the pot, their elbows had been locked so they would only spill it
when they tried to eat. There was an endless amount of crying,
thrashing and groaning. Next, the man was taken to the room
labelled heaven. Although the room was set up exactly the same
as the previous one, the people were different. There in the
middle of the room was the same pot of delicious stew. Around it
the people were all chained to their chairs. They each had a long
handled spoon. Their elbows were locked. At first the man was
confused. He was looking at the same room, but the people in it
were happy, singing and well fed. It was then that he noticed
someone reaching into the pot
with their spoon. He followed Don't worry about how

What we can do is give value; giving more in terms of
use value than we actually receive in cash value. Hold both, but
disconnect the two. Give, in your strengths, and give as much as
you feel. Then have the mechanisms set up such as a paying job
or a business, so other people can give to you for that value,
because its about everybody giving. It opens up a diversity of
circulation by many trading with many. Its a different way of
thinking. In manifesting, creating, and bringing more into your
life, you have to unhook the idea of giving to get. To create

Ebb & Flow


Expecting income riches to grow without rest, and spending
all that comes to you is a dangerous game. When you understand
Universal principles, you can use the ebbs and flows of
circulation as a normal cycle of life. Your income will change. It
will go up. It will go down. Expenses will go up. Expenses will
go down. Every coaching client has faced this. Initially I was
taught that Tithing came first, before your own needs. But as I
continued to use these principles, I could not see it in my
experience. I observed a different result, no matter how abundant
I felt. So now I teach ebb and flow, coupled with the wonderful

96
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

principle of pay yourself first. The philosophy is actually take


care of your own family first. Then you can stand strong for
others when the increase comes.
When you set aside the first 10% in an account for the
inevitable rhythm of life, it creates a feeling of wealth and
security that we all need. It evens out the highs and lows of
cashflow. Its not a savings account, because it will be spent over
the course of time. It is a back-stop. Its financial self-insurance,
and it has been a phenomenal tool for myself and my clients who
are practicing cashflow wealth rather than leveraged debt
accumulation. Youll feel richer and more secure when you have
a short term balancing of the natural circulation principles.

Allowing and Receiving


You can only complete the circulation principle by
receiving and accepting payments, gifts and help. This becomes
the evidence of your ability to create ongoing wealth in all areas
of your life. Your ability to give your productivity while you give
more value than you receive and accept from others joyfully will
determine whether you are able to continue creating powerfully
by continuing the divine circulation of money-energy.
Refusing money when people offer to pay you or telling
people off for buying you a gift (you shouldnt have done that)
robs them of the pleasure and satisfaction of giving. You need to
give, but you also need to practise receiving and accepting if you
wish to increase that inflow. It is not your place to decide whether
or not this is the way you want it to come, as long as it is within
your own value system. If someone wants to buy you lunch, dont
argue. Be gracious, and thank people for their giving. Honor and
appreciate the money or the gift by putting it to use to prime the
pump for the flow of life.
The point is, flow your money. Let it go out, let it come
in, and let it go out again. Make some room in your life for more

97
Step 7. Start Circulation for Increase

to come in. Then allow some sort of mechanism for accepting


from other people as they give to you. Remember to detach that
from giving in order to get.

Trading for Love


Applying this principle doesnt have to be exclusively
related to money. Starting Circulation is a principle that gives a
different experience of life if you apply it to everything. Whether
you are interacting with people, or whether giving your love, you
can impact your relationships by releasing the hidden belief if I
love someone then theyll love me back. By unlearning this
limited trading belief, you open up the freedom to express
yourself fully. Weve been unconsciously trained to trade. Weve
observed everyone around us and it just seems like its The Way
Life Works. In actual fact its not the way life works. Its just the
way we are behaving based on our current beliefs, and we get
some results from it. Its useful not to have an expectation and
attachment to trading, especially in our relationships.
By giving unconditional love (pure appreciation), your
results may be different than if you trade love. Some people need
much more love than they are giving. Perhaps your contribution
to them is in giving when they are not giving back to anyone else.
A smile or some kindness to someone who doesnt deserve it
can be life-changing for them and for you. Now be aware that
there is a difference between giving, and being taken. Nobody
is asking you to be a martyr, or to do things that you dont want to
do. This is about living where your heart sings; giving on one
side, and having faith on the other side, instead of demands. Give,
and if you do not want to give anymore in that area, dont give
anymore. Make a choice and move on.

98
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

Circulating with People and Ideas


Part of the Start Circulation principle is to share ideas,
give and get support for your manifesting. You could gather a
group of like-minded people together and create a Mastermind.
Napoleon Hill wrote of this principle at length and defines the
Mastermind as An alliance of two or more minds blended in a
spirit of perfect harmony and co-operating for the attainment of a
definite purpose.9 To go it alone is rarely successful in any
endeavor.
You will need a team of 3-10 people who meet on a
regular basis in a structured manner for the mutual benefit and
support toward everyones purpose, and your success is built on
this. You will get help from their different perspectives and your
actions can be kept on track toward your ultimate intentions. They
will know methods as well as people to contact for the next step,
or to help solve a problem or to suggest how to go around an
obstacle. They are outside your box of beliefs and they can help
you to emerge from your own limits because they have that
different viewpoint. In an orderly format you will meet, share
your wins and your wants and needs, and give your knowledge
and experience. The power of the Mastermind will astound you as
you move forward in life.

Good Steward of Money


Have you heard stories about people winning the lottery,
only to be worse off in five years? To keep your abundance
flowing you must first prove yourself as a good steward of
wealth, at any level with a systematic way to relate to your
incomes and outgoings. When you manage and circulate money
you move into a flow that allows the Universe to work with you.
You call it forth and direct it. In its proper place money is your
servant.

99
Step 7. Start Circulation for Increase

To master the flow of abundance you will need to set up a


pattern that will already be in place no matter what your level of
financial wealth. Get into a habit of purposefully flowing your
income and make sure that you allow it to go out as increase to
others. This doesnt mean giving away all that comes to you.
When you buy something or hire someone for a service you are
also giving and adding to the circulation. Use it for increase to
yourself as well to balance your sharing, spending and saving in
bountiful proportions.
Consider the basis for all your efforts to be to provide
huge value in whatever you are doing at each step of the way.
Wallace Wattles says, if every act of your life is an efficient one,
your whole life must be a success." "See that you give others a
use value greater than the cash value you are taking from them."

Compete or Create?
In the current world view based on trading, competition
implies that there is only a limited amount to go around. We show
up at work every day, and we seem to be trading time for money.
When you focus on your power as a co-creator you step into the
creative mindset. Working to advance everyone means that when
you create to grow yourself and others, everyone benefits. You
never put others needs above your values, and yet as you step
forward for increase, you concurrently bring the flow forward for
everyone. Give value with an impression of increase and an
abundant, creative spirit.
Then, youre not always looking behind to see whats
coming for you. Circulation frees you from that. You can do this
in the business world, you can do this in the scientific world, you
can do it in the artistic world; you can do it at home in your
family life.

Its All Just Energy


After years of studying the Laws of the Universe and
working through so many principles, I had an insight that seems
obvious, but for me was a journey. I knew that everything in the
Universe is energy. Early in my journey I saw the movie What
The BLEEP Do We Know? and I understood more about the
science behind the constant energy that makes us. But one day I
was using a wonderful technique for releasing negative energy in
my body,10 and I was told that it was all just energy needing to
circulate. It clicked. The labels that I needed to use to find the
physical manifestation of negative energy in my body suddenly
became just a front for a huge variety of differentiated energy.
Fear, anger, frustration all became in one instant, just energy.
This distinction removed the power any of those emotions
had over me. From that moment on, I could walk around releasing
any negative energy I felt in any moment. Whether I could find a
label for it or not, I could release it then and there. The Start
Circulation principle includes releasing the basic clumping of the
I energy that is too much of your personality and not enough of
your character. Moving the energy of I around, releasing and
renewing yourself allows the I Am within you to be.
Its so much easier to give of yourself when youre not
holding on. Its great to be on purpose and to let go of actually
working for money. On the other side of it, looking at our beliefs
about accepting, and our beliefs about how other people give to
us, and how we allow new energy in our life, is the other part of
the Start Circulation principle. Its not only about getting money;
if you are on purpose, it truly is not. You will find that all is
abundantly provided for you and more when you live your life in
the flow of circulation.

The Key to SPEED

You cannot go to where you already


are. To do that you would have to
leave where you are...The irony is that
most people think they have to leave
where they are to get to where they
want to be.
Conversations With God
Neale Donald Walsch

The 7 Steps are very practical for the process of


manifesting. Once you master them you will find an ease and
flow about creating your desires in life. Even though you still
need to use all of the 7 Steps as a checklist and to live the
principles, there is one catalyst which is the key to SPEED. With
this transformational key you are suddenly able to manifest at a
speed that may astound and surprise you. The transmutation into
SPEED involves the concept of Alignment, but it has a paradox in
it and people are not necessarily skilled in holding and living
paradoxes, so we generally stay in one concept of reality. We are
not practiced at having two viewpoints or possibilities about life
at the same time.

103
The Key to SPEED

The first part of Alignment involves aligning your


thoughts, your words and your actions in a way that makes them
all work together much more powerfully. Your actions come from
your thoughts. Your words come from your thoughts. Work on
listening to your thinking by hearing your words as they come to
you. Your outside world reflects your inner world. Use your
outside world to raise your awareness level of your silent
subconscious thinking.
You are the creator of your life and of your next
manifestations. You are in charge of your life, if you begin to
distinguish the voice of your past and start to take new orders
from a new you. It is as simple as setting your Intention, then
living congruent with that intention in all your thoughts, words
and actions.

Your Turning Point to SPEED Manifesting


The other, critical part is Alignment to NOW. Align
yourself to what you currently perceive is somewhere or sometime
other than where you are. This creates speed and the shift to
manifesting very, very quickly. The idea of time is one that was
made up at some point in our distant, distant history. First of all I
want to cover this concept of time and then start talking about
how we can use it to change our results.
In this conversation, what you really need to do is listen
like youre still in the reality of the current world view, and the
current concept of time. I would also like you to take one toe, and
put it in a new reality. I need you to contemplate what it would be
like if you lived on another planet, in another place where they
didnt have a concept of time. This is not logical and it doesnt fit
with how we currently live our lives.

104
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

Almost all of us have been brought up to believe in a


linear concept of time. I know it is a belief because of observing
my youngest son, who at 10 years old still didnt understand the
concept of last week, this week and tomorrow. Its fascinating to
me, because in actual fact hes not wrong. To most young
children there is only NOW. Thats what makes it difficult to wait
for anything. Yet its still
important that he learns the way
we relate to our agreements with The test of a first-rate
people so that we are able to meet
them someplace at a specific intelligence is the ability
time, but its not real. to hold two opposed ideas
Have you ever been in the mind at the same

ability to function.
then you ended up, somehow, on
time? Even though it was almost F. Scott Fitzgerald
impossible (based on traffic and
time and speed and distance) you
showed up on time. Einstein said his concept of time was that it
was like a balloon and you could create more of it. How does that
fit in with linear time? It doesnt, so perhaps its possible that we
may look at things differently. You still have to keep one foot in
the current reality of past/present/future because its what the
world uses and so its a good, strong basis for the reality that we
live in, and for you to relate to everyone else.
Linear time labels the past and the present and the future.
Weve carved ourselves up into pieces and called some of those
pieces the past, and some of those pieces the future, and then the
present is what people assume is NOW. What Id like to suggest
is something different. What I am about to reveal is what I
referred to as the key earlier in the Introduction. This conceptual
idea is something that is limiting to speak of in words, but you

105
The Key to SPEED

have to consider it, contemplate it and try it out from a different


perspective. Its not a logical perspective. It is a NOW that is not
the present. Im not talking about a NOW that excludes the
past and the future.
Imagine you live in a house with three rooms next to each
other. One room is your past, one room is your present and one
room is your future. Next, remove the walls. Now you have one
long room, and all of the compartmentalization disappears. With
this one room you can go wherever you want to, and you have the
past and the future as NOW. Think
of time this way to shift from linear
to the whole house with "Time is not at all
past/present/future being NOW. what it seems. It does

and streaming in a line, its possible direction, and the

big house, and NOW is the past,
simultaneously with

the past."
All of those constructs of
time actually exist in your Albert Einstein
perception. The Past is memory,
and The Future is imagination.
Its all NOW, but your mind perceives them in different ways.
Just like simmering water changing state from liquid to
gas, your desires exist in a different state, ready to boil; moving to
bubbles boiling and popping into the next physical manifestation,
into form and out of form and later, back into form.
Our desires have then become something that we already
have. So if we accept that theres nowhere to go and theres
nothing that you have to stretch after to have, you already have it
the moment that you desire it. In that state, everything is NOW;
everything is already here in this moment. Its just in a different

106
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

form. Whether its your memory or whether its your imagination,


its all still a part of you NOW.
You have an opportunity to pull those carved up pieces of
yourself and bring them together; bring them into a place where
you use the imaginative holographic place of your mind. You
accept your daydreams as NOW. This is the key. When you can
accept your mental pictures as truly existing in the same space as
you, they show up; they pop with such ferocity that they startle
you, pleasantly, like the night I saw how SPEED Manifesting
works, and burst into tears at the real image of my teammates
around a table, exactly as I had visually imagined it a few hours
before.
When you ask where is my desire? well, youve carved
it up and pushed it away. By asking, you delay it needlessly. In
actual fact, all you need to do is realign yourself with your desires
in the NOW; NOW as an acceptance and completeness, rather
than NOW as a construct of linear time. This whole idea of being
out of alignment in SPEED Manifesting is about being out of
alignment with your desires because youve separated from them.
Weve been taught, weve been shown, weve lived it, weve
breathed it, and so it feels real to live inside linear time.

The Paradox of SPEED Manifesting


Even though we just redefined the concept of
manifestation time and states within this discussion, the paradox
is that to create quickly you begin to feel its already here NOW,
without attachment. You need an acceptance about your power to
create, and you do this by relating to your imagination as a reality.
Accept reason; your imagination is just as real as water
in its gaseous state of steam. That is the paradox within this
concept of NOW. So you must imagine your Intentions...and
then have that be NOW. Make the future a memory. Then Let Go.

107
The Key to SPEED

You must let go of any hold on yearning and wanting to receive


your desires. Stay calm, focused and floating separately in time.
This Key to SPEED is why I suggest a meditation to take
yourself into your far future: Look back at having achieved your
Intentions already, way in the past, and imagine with the
satisfaction of that emotional state. Know that your desires are in
the NOW, and the only thing thats not in the NOW is you,
because you believe it in a different way, because your belief
concept of the world was past/present, past/present,
past/present, past/present.
When we try on new and revolutionary concepts in our
life, we can hold a new concept in one hand, look at it, try it out
and contemplate it. Thats the word; contemplate, because this is
not going to come from your logic. Logic is the part of you that
draws from the past, but it also prefers linear; logic only
understands this, then next, then next all connected. New
thought comes from reason and intuition combined with
perception.
You have to find this truth from contemplation, from
considering and looking around at this unusual concept. In the
Introduction to SPEED Manifesting I asked you to watch for it.
Here it is: bring yourself into the NOW. Its all NOW. There is no
someday. Your past and your present and your future, these are
all happening NOW. Align yourself with NOW, then be free.
Stop carving yourself up into these segments that are
holding you back as you consider your desires being someplace
else, which we also call the future, or someday. Those are
made-up perceptions. Your desires are inside, in your heart.
Theyre not out there in some existence called the future
somewhere. Theyre already here, and you just have to remove
the false walls and align yourself and your heart with them in
your thinking and feeling, and live your life that way. Then, when
you get intentional about life and you know what you want, you

108
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

can imagine seeing and feeling it, and you live in constant
gratitude, and you understand about giving versus trading, and
giving value, and allowing other people to give, then yours
becomes a different world.
This is an advanced manifesting course. Alignment is
conceptual, and to get to SPEED Manifesting as a natural part
of life, use Gratitude and add the key the Alignment to NOW.
Become aware of what NOW really means and allow SPEED
Manifesting to occur. Your desires and intentions are within
you; you feel and experience them when you just know theyre
already here NOW. Then you get to receive them. Its just a
matter of time before you can see, feel and touch them.
Albert Einstein would meditate anytime he needed to
solve a problem or ponder an unanswered question about the
Universe. Thomas Edison would spend time each day quietly in
his thinking chair as he contemplated a new challenge. You can
plan your Loop Meditation for anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes.
Build this up to multiple times a day if you are working on
moving a creation along quickly. Perhaps do one formal session
during the day, plus use your shower or bath time as another
shorter one. What else do you use this precious thinking time for
anyway besides deciding whether you need to add soap to the
grocery list? You can also take time just before bed to complete
your third daily quiet time to loop your present to your future and
make it feel like a memory.

109
The Key to SPEED

Practicing the Key to SPEED:


Take 5 minutes and quietly sit in a comfortable place. Close your eyes
and choose one of your desires to think about.

Imagine yourself 5 years from now. Visualize your


surroundings. Are you sitting in a chair beside a fireplace? Are you on a
beach? Are you sitting on a porch or balcony? Feel the warmth on your
face. Get into that place.

Now, from that place look back to the time you just achieved
one of your desires. What does that feel like? What are you doing?
What are you saying? Are you jumping up and down? Are you hugging
someone? Feel it in that moment.

Now bring yourself to your future again and feel the


satisfaction of all your accomplishments. You have done it all. You
stayed focused. You did the work to achieve your dreams. Your life has
been a beautiful testimony to the greatness and potential finally
expressed.

Now close your future eyes and come to your physical body.
Immediately bring the feeling of joyous completion with you. Thank the
Universe in grateful expression for showing you the way and being your
perfect partner in co-creation. Say thank you out loud as you receive all
that you require to fulfil your dreams and share an awesome life with
others.

SECTION III. WHEN IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN?

When you understand the process of SPEED


Manifesting and you think you are doing everything, a few
stumbling blocks may seem to appear to be a denial of your
manifestation. This section covers the possible reasons.

Gestation
Just as every seed planted in the earth has a different time
of gestation or incubation before it appears above the soil, so does
the process of your creating. Once you have completed the steps
and are waiting for your manifestation to show, remember to
focus on the outcome and appreciate each movement. Remember
to accept time as NOW and know that every occurrence is already
allowing your desires.
If it appears as though your efforts are being thwarted, be
patient and stay calm. Understand that you are being guided by an
unseen hand and you may not realize that the events are unfolding
just as they need to give you what you desire or better.
When you give the Universe new instructions and it
begins to turn your life in a new direction, sometimes it is more
like turning a luxury cruise ship rather than a bicycle. Stay on
your path and stay focused on imagining with emotion.
Remember the impatient farmer? He pulled up a few of
the plants before they were ripe to see how the roots were
growing, and then frustrated for the lack of harvest he abandoned
the care of his entire field.

111
Section III. When is it Going to Happen?

Look for small signs that your tide is turning and stay in
gratitude to the Source. When the ocean explorers of the past
sailed to a new continent, they knew to watch for signs that they
were getting close to land. As twigs appeared floating on the
water, and as birds appeared in the sky, they knew their long
journey was close to completion. Look for your twigs and birds,
which may look like additional income in small amounts, unusual
help from unexpected sources, gifts, or events coming together
out of the blue. Sometimes you feel it as a quickening; a sense
that things are picking up speed. Be joyful in your anticipation
that the results are beginning to show.

Denial of Reality
Have you done a reality check yet? On any journey you
cannot get to where you are going unless you know where you are
starting. Your best place to begin is where you are right now.
Take the time to stop and take stock of your current reality; no
blame or judgement. Have courage and take a peek. Own it. Write
down a list of what you owe, or what your relationships are like
and how to be complete with it. Acknowledge it, then park it and
create your Wish List. Move through The Method and take the
actions required. Go easier on yourself!

Identity
Who do you see yourself to be? What image do you hold
in your subconscious mind? To move forward you must have a
positive, healthy picture of yourself. If you have built an image
that is limited and below what you realize you desire, then you
need to work on seeing yourself successful. After I turned 40, I
began to notice all sorts of articles in papers and magazines about
how difficult it was for over 40s to get jobs or be recognized.
Somehow I accepted this information. Coupled with the
unhealthy view that I had made too many business mistakes,

112
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

unconsciously I developed what I called a losers image. To


succeed you must have your own winners image, but
sometimes youll have to find it within someone else that you
admire, and become an apprentice.
Choose a mentor or someone you respect, and read their
biography. Picture yourself as their protg and emulate them.
This is a simple and powerful way of pulling yourself along and it
will guide you ever higher, and remove any ceiling to
accomplishing your Intentions. Practise seeing yourself as your
ideal person and you will be, sooner than you could possibly
imagine.

Free Will
A man was working on an intention to attract his true
love back into his life. They had broken up, and he decided that
he was going to use SPEED Manifesting to fulfil his desire to
be with her again. The problem was, she didnt want to get back
together. Really; she had no interest in reconciling, and that was
that. She did, however, tell him all the interpersonal reasons why
it didnt work between them, and his personality traits that
worked against a reconciliation. Ouch. He realized that he got the
answer clearly and could now see from her perspective. He could
then respect her choice and move on to attract someone else, with
the best qualities and characteristics that he loved about her. Free
Will is the Universal promise that we can act however we want.
Free Will has consequences, of course. This was a
difficult lesson for me. My youngest son has intellectual
disabilities and over time became very unhappy. His challenges
became ours, and our values clashed constantly, no matter how
much or how long I tapped into my own peace, bliss and
unconditional love. After years of escalating difficulties and
alarming behaviour, one day I stopped and checked that my
manifesting request was clear. I sat on our backyard beach

113
Section III. When is it Going to Happen?

looking at the water. I started at Step 1 and asked What do I


want? Was it family harmony? Peace? It was peacefulness; that
was first, and family harmony too. Then I asked, What is
stopping me from receiving my intention of having a happy and
peaceful family life? It was so simple. Not easy, but clear: he
didnt want peace. His life journey hasnt been that. It was an
honest struggle for me to finally come to the awareness that I had
to decide what was best for everyone, having a family live under
one roof, or having a peaceful family, living in different places.
As I sat there I tried on a peaceful life. At first my subconscious
voice went through my obligations as a mother, my roles and
responsibilities and what that meant to me. I had a picture of a
family living together and I realized that it was partly to heal my
childhood need to be a family. I was trying to force it, when it
made everyone else so unhappy. I let go. I accepted what a life
would be like where every day was peaceful, no matter what. I
aligned with peacefulness, and threw out the definitions my
subconscious came up with next, of boredom and
purposelessness. Then I watched Life play itself out. I kept
voting for peace. With love, outside support, and patience I gave
him and everyone in the family the chances to choose. Within
about 3 weeks things went from bad to worse, and the human
angels showed up to help us, help him. I made the decisions I
needed to, to help him experience what he wants, while I continue
to love him and choose peace. He was 14 when he moved to his
own residence, and he is improving there, with rotating 24 hour
carers skilled in exactly what he needs. He goes to a special
school and his disabilities are supported so that his confidence is
higher. My relationship with him is better than ever. My husband
and oldest son also chose peace, and we are voting ourselves
together in peace. Can you have what you want? Yes, when you
recognize that you cannot manifest an intention with another
person unless they want it too. Ask for more powerful intentions
allowing for Free Will.

Beliefs
Sometimes you can be practicing everything along the
lines of Universal Laws, but you still feel stuck. It may be a
subconscious belief working against you. You have learned that
your beliefs were formed and stored away, and that you can
choose a new belief if you find the old one doesnt serve your
new direction. If you are aware of a recurring theme in your life,
use the Law of Polarity to form an opposite belief. Ask a direct
question like What would someone have to believe to have these
circumstances? and How can I choose another more
empowering belief about this? Listen to the answer and begin
saying the new belief to yourself. If you have been struggling
with success for a long time, saying I am already successful
will sound like a lie. It may feel uncomfortable if you are
replacing a stuck belief, but understand that this is part of the
process. Allow the feelings to come up and circulate out so you
can release them. Feelings are just energy, generated by thoughts.
Let go of that old energy to allow in new energy.
Now is the time to have a conversation with someone
about where you think you are stuck. It is best that you do not
continually talk about the issue, because you do not want to use
Step 5 - The Power and Poison of Words to continue current
unwanted circumstances. Have a session with someone skilled in
coaching people on moving forward quickly. Find out what your
beliefs are telling you that you cannot hear inside your box. If
you have the belief I have to work hard for money then you will
probably be working a lot of hours, whether you have financial
success or not. Replace that with something else, like money
comes easily to me in large amounts and I have plenty of time
to play and enjoy life with my friends and family. Whatever you
think, say, and do continually will become the flavor of your life.
Choose wisely and get support when you get stuck.

Values
Having values is a good reason to slow down your
receiving! Really, if you didnt have principles and values, you
would be taking whatever you want from wherever it is. Yes,
refusing to steal the money from elsewhere because you want it or
need it, is a block or barrier to manifesting. Consequences are
real, so it serves you to understand why you have those values.
Your personal values express who you are. You chose your
values a long time ago. You may want to shift the interpretation
or priority of your values if they are not serving you. Its like
challenging a belief, except you dont throw these away. Never
violate your values, because you will suffer. Thats why
sometimes you feel bad when you are challenging a belief its
actually a value, not a belief. Beliefs are interpretations of values,
and they are pliant. Values are self-expression from your soul.
Does that make more sense? Use the exercise after Step 1
(workbook available online) to identify your top values. Then see
if there are any beliefs that could be rewritten so that you can
receive more. For instance, if you have a value that says I am
loyal. I am trustworthy, and you have a belief-interpretation that
limits receiving, you may find yourself denying working with
people because they dont have the same values, and you think
that there is only an either/or choice: sell out and work with them,
or go without work. However, if you can learn to open
possibilities while staying true to your values, you can expand
into other interpretations. You could decide that its time to attract
new customers who have similar values. You could decide that
people are loyal or not loyal in business, but they are still
trustworthy, as long as they are transparent and straight with you
(another value).
I was coaching a woman who felt some of her long term clients
werent trustworthy because they used another agency for no
good reason, except to try someone else. She needed the income

116
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

and the timing to be disloyal stung her. She began to question


herself, their integrity and her trust in all clients. When we
reviewed the situation to re-interpret a more powerful belief to
support her values, she realized that when her favorite client did
the same thing earlier, she had no problem with it because the
client was straight with her and explained why and reassured her
that she would get the next contract. So she realized she wanted a
new belief that broke away from the either/or belief of if a client
isnt loyal, I cannot trust them. The trust issue was clouded from
some challenges in her personal life and she detached the pair
(loyalty/trust) and made it mean something more empowering in
business. She also started intending to attract more clients aligned
to her highest values. It never occurred to her that she could just
choose again with a new intention. Question your beliefs, but
hold to your values. Know what they are, so you can create from
your values-based desires and never sell out.

Stuck Energy
In the entire Universe, your wonderful unique, individual
consciousness lives in a space called your body. Because of this
relationship, you have full domain over this space, if you are
aware that there is a gatekeeper: your subconscious. It runs your
body through the instructions you chose your beliefs and values.
You are a body of energy, and energy wants to flow.
When you attach and hold emotions, where does it get stored and
stuck? In your body. So you must build a toolkit of techniques to
release stuck energy by getting connected to your subconscious.
Thats why NLP (neuro-linguistic-programming), hypnosis,
Tapping (EFT), asking questions, repetition of affirmations and
energy releasing techniques all work: they connect your conscious
requests through your subconscious to your body. Find where the
energy is stuck in your body. Sometimes you can feel it as
discomfort in a particular location.

117
Section III. When is it Going to Happen?

Let go of old emotions. Let go of old hurts. Let go of


grief, when you can. It is all just energy. Tell it to go! You have
domain, remember? The stuck energy is waiting for your
permission and intention to say go! Your subconscious will listen
when you are ready and aligned.
It is not worth giving up so much of your potential in life.
It is not worth losing the possibility of a new future. Remember,
every day is a new day. Start it that way and begin to release the
old energy of holding on to resentments, anger, fear and
frustration. I will say it again: it is all just ENERGY. Choose to
let the old go and release the labels that are crushing you under
the weight of your own resistance. You cannot accept more into
your life while you have two clenched fists. Open up your energy.
Release and create a vacuum for prosperity, goodness and love to
come into your life. Those energy vibrations result in health,
wealth and happiness. Forgive others and forgive yourself. Be
happy. You deserve it.

Shoulds
What roles and responsibilities, attachments and self-
judgements hold you back from living your dreams? How long
before you give up your Shoulds so that you can choose
powerfully, get into action, and change your life from the future,
not the past. Shoulds are self-imposed obligations that keep you
guilty and diminish your power. I am not saying to throw away all
your responsibilities! Instead, look at the Shoulds each time they
come up, and choose. Apologize, and complete relationships and
obligations when you know its time. And more importantly,
consciously choose your current responsibilities, relationships and
obligations. Let go of the interpretation of Shoulds anywhere in
your life. You may still have the same circumstances,
attachments, roles, and obligations, but the freedom from self-

118
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

judgement allows for the full power of Life to flow within you,
giving you clarity and potency that enriches all you touch.

Fear
If you could believe that anything was possible, what
could you create? What may be stopping you is fear; fear of
failing, fear of looking silly, fear of losing, fear of making
mistakes, and fear of not knowing what to do. Fear is the killer
emotion. Do not underestimate its danger to your wealth and your
health. Think about what stops you. Can you begin to see the old
beliefs and their power over you? Letting go of fear opens up
faith. When your faith in these manifesting principles builds, it
comes from your choices, not your beliefs, so fear disappears.
Like switching on a light, the darkness is no longer there.
You will need to use your Will to pause the fear as you
build your faith through experiencing your own power of
creating. The final part of using faith and releasing fear is
surrender. This is surrendering to go with the flow of life, instead
of fighting the current.
Sometimes facing fear means choosing to try; to step into
unchartered territories anyway, because not trying and never
knowing is more fearful than the possibility of failing.
Before I made the decision to leave Canada and move to
New Zealand to be with Gary, I had to weigh up some heavy
emotions; leaving everything I knew, my family, my culture, my
job, my comfort and security. I was considering moving to a
country I had never visited to be with a man I had met a few
months earlier. I knew I loved him.
But the moment of choice came when I realized I had to
know. I could live with knowing I had tried and possibly failed. I
could always come home, I knew that. But I could not accept
living in possible regret, wondering what if? for the rest of my

119
Section III. When is it Going to Happen?

life without exploring it. I gave myself permission to fail. But I


knew then that I had to go. And when I got there, my faith built
over time, until I finally knew that my home was him, anywhere
in the world.
Releasing fear and stepping into the unknown is a choice,
and you find your way by action and build your faith starting
right now, day by day. You step over the line knowing it will
work out, or at least you have to try. If you still fear the
consequences of it not working out, then you are not ready to go.
When your desire is greater than your fear, you will be ready to
take the next step, whatever it may be. You will know it when you
are ready.

Disbelief
Out of fear comes a habitual way of thinking. You may
have already released the fear and replaced fearful thoughts and
beliefs with gratitude for the good you have, but what may remain
is a habit of dismissiveness from disbelief. Limiting beliefs come
from our observations based on past circumstances. This can slow
us down, as we judge whether or not our desires will be received
based on nearing the firm deadline. But the way to walk through
this obstacle is to simply, suspend your disbelief. Become the
observer and hold your desire without attachment to the result as
you near or pass through your deadline date. Most of us have
heard of the saying the 11th Hour. It implies a deliverance or
rescue beyond when all hope was lost.
In The Matrix movie, (spoiler coming) remember
Morpheus when Neo died? He was paralysed because his Faith
was so strong, that he had no reference point for that moment. He
stood in disbelief of the reality. He was a frozen observer and
couldnt take any action, but he didnt dismiss his faith. In the
next moment when Neo did the unthinkable, Morpheus was
renewed. Disbelief was a perfect response, but he didnt dismiss

120
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

his knowing that Neo was the One. His disbelief was directed at
reality, not intentions, because he was so aligned to his faith.
Hold true to your Intentions regardless of circumstances.
Your manifestation is here, you just need to let go of resistance.
You do not have to strongly believe in something for it to
happen through Universal Laws, just dont disbelieve it. It gives
extra energy to your creations when you add strong belief, which
becomes faith, but your manifestations come into existence in
your allowing instead of judging results along the way.
Notice whether you are saying no automatically, and try
saying yes before thinking about it. See what difference that
makes in your life. Use a day or two to experiment with this.
When someone asks you if you want something, say yes
whether you want it or not. Dont think about it. You may get
some zany results, but it will be a different day for you. Break the
habit of saying no and see what shows up when you use the
opposite automatic response. If you find that you dont say no
very often, just notice whether you are pleasing yourself, or trying
to please others. Enjoy this new awareness, and watch what
happens. Life changes when you change. Sometimes it is as
simple as changing your automatic reactions.

Resistance
Your desired good may be staring you in the face, but
your resistance may be the only barrier to receiving. Becoming
aware of your resistance and choosing to allow more into your
life will open up more abundance quickly.
My oldest son was 13 years old when he saw The Secret
for the first time and he understood the principles and began
practising them immediately. He got very excited about being
able to get whatever he wants, and like many young people the
first thing he wanted to acquire was stuff. He wanted his own
mobile phone, and so he looked through catalogues and found the

121
Section III. When is it Going to Happen?

exact model he wanted. He posted the picture with all the


specifications on his wall, and then happily pondered how he
might acquire it. His belief that he could manifest was from
watching The Secret, so with anticipation he watched for a way to
get it.
In two days he came to me and said he just had an idea of
how he could get it. He explained that if we signed up for a 2 year
phone contract then he could get a free phone, using half his
allowance to pay for the monthly bill. All he needed was our
agreement to do that and the phone could be his. We were
delighted that he had progressed so well and his plan was a good
one. That weekend we went to a shopping mall so he could see
the phones and confirm his choice.
He confirmed that the $750 phone was the one he wanted,
but then he began acting strangely. He looked at them and then
said he was ready to go home. Surprised, I ask why he didnt
want to get it right then. He became tense and agitated and I asked
him what was stopping him? He told me that he was concerned
about his father telling him that he should wait and get a better
deal or better technology. Even though his father was right there,
encouraging him to go for it, my son resisted.
I suggested that maybe the idea of more caution would
apply to some other purchase, but it didnt for this one. I asked
that he consider what he wants, not what other people might
think, and then let him think it through as we continued shopping.
He realized that he was really happy with his choice and we went
back and helped him arrange the purchase. It was a great phone
and his payment plan worked perfectly. He manifested the phone
in what might be considered an ordinary way but for a 13 year
old, it was a huge creation in only a few days. It was only his
temporary resistance based on a belief that almost stopped him.
Now he has used this process to manifest other desires, like a job,
the lead role in a school play, and a new computer.

122
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

When you raise your level of awareness you can move


past your resistance from previous beliefs, the shoulds and
should-nots of life, and easily accept the creations you have
beautifully manifested.

Disappointment
Have you ever been specifically taught to manage your
disappointments? Many people miss this important lesson from
families, culture or careers and instead get left with the bad
feelings. Many parents want their children to avoid
disappointment, so they show them how to aim low and not fall
far. If there was no other way this would be a loving thing to do.
But this comes from the perspective that mistakes are bad.
Actually, to succeed in life you must learn to manage your
disappointments and learn from your mistakes. Maybe that is why
you learned to walk before you learned to talk, because you
would have found out that falling 100 times before walking
successfully might be called 100 mistakes.
In hindsight, my downward spiral of bad thinking began
in my 30s because I was new to business management and made
some mistakes, but didnt know how to put them in perspective. I
subconsciously began to think less of myself. I had made some
decisions that didnt seem to work out because of my youthful
lack of business experience. I ordered $50,000 worth of custom
branded diskettes but didnt realize that my employer needed
extended terms to pay for it. Although this was a profitable
venture over four months, I had not understood about immediate
cashflow versus profit. The best advice was from my manager
who then told me if you are not making any mistakes you are not
trying hard enough. In my own small business I ordered $5,000
worth of personalized computer invoices, only to have a software
program change make it obsolete almost before I took delivery so
it was a complete loss. Previous to this I rarely made big mistakes

123
Section III. When is it Going to Happen?

in my life, because I was so cautious that I avoided making big


decisions, but after this I judged myself harshly for years because
I actually got something wrong.
When my children made a mistake, I would ask them
what would you do differently next time? and what have you
learned? It is important for them and us to know that to live and
to learn is to make mistakes and especially, that if it doesnt work
one way, try another and another until you succeed.
On the other hand, sometimes things happen that you
view as totally the opposite to your desired creations. Managing
your disappointment at this critical time can help you to build
your faith that things actually do work out for the best.
When we arranged to move to Australia we chose an
independent school for our children. We purchased a home 10
minutes from the school and flew them over from New Zealand
for school interviews two months before we moved. Before we
arrived, we were there we were notified that my son had not been
accepted at the school as they felt they didnt have the resourcing
to support his additional learning needs. Needless to say, I was
devastated. My disappointment was so great, and yet since I knew
how the Universe works I said to myself, There must be a good
reason for this. I managed my disappointment and my emotions,
and waited in faith for the answer. I reviewed what I really
wanted and realized that I wanted my son to get great support at
school and to be happy, not just to go to that particular school.
Weeks later when we arrived in Australia and enrolled our
children in the local state school we found that it had its own
large Special Education Unit. So my son got better support and
we also did not have to pay $1800 per term for the schooling. I
thought I knew best, but when circumstances looked like they
were taking us further away from our desires I let go and let
God and released my attachment to the exact outcome in faith
that it works out for the best, always.

124
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

My faith builds even more each time I go with the flow.


When unexpected or confusing results happen I reconfirm that my
desires are clear and I am focusing on the end result, aligned with
my values. So, it is vital that you manage your disappointments
and make sure you have asked for what you want, and then get
out of the way for the Universe to do its incredible, perfect work.

Where There is a Villain, There is a Victim


Our culture glorifies victimhood and so many of our
heroic stories are based on the redemption of the victim. When
you are criticizing, condemning or complaining about anything,
you are creating a villain and therefore making yourself into a
victim. This is different from being victimized by someone else.
Self victimization becomes a habit out of an environment or
cultural teaching.
If you find that you are reactive that is a clue that you
are self-victimizing. Almost all of my life I have been over
reactive. Then I saw how this was a way of self-victimizing, and
I was able to step back and not get drawn into my own emotions.
I was able to look at a circumstance and more objectively see that
my principles either lined up or didnt. Now I can choose my
response appropriately, and usually in a more constructive and
powerful way. Removing your automatic reaction to what other
people say or do, and being able to observe before responding is a
good way to avoid making yourself into a victim.
Be careful of Why me? questions as they put you into a
poor me self victimizing perspective. Being aware of this will
give you the opportunity to release it and focus on what you want
and what you are going to do next. Remember to ask more
powerful and problem solving questions like how can I make
this better? or what is the good in this? or what can I learn
from this?

125
Section III. When is it Going to Happen?

Comparing yourself to others and what they have or what


they accomplish is another way of self victimization, and it is a
form of coveting. Strive to be a better you, and let go of trying to
be the best. When something happens and it does not feel good,
consider what you were thinking about. Look for the good in it
and move on. Dont get stuck in the emotions. Give yourself
permission to learn and grow. The awareness will allow you to
choose freedom from self-victimization. Be free to live your life
from your choices, not from your past. Free yourself from
blaming others for your present limitations and you will reclaim
your future and redeem your past, whatever it may have been.

Bad Company
If you are around negative or destructive people, get away
from them. They can become dream stealers, telling you what you
cannot achieve. If it is your family, then you could go less often
and leave a little sooner. If you live in this environment you could
take more holidays, have weekends away or in the moment, just a
walk around the block. You cannot truly change another human
being, so change yourself. Choose to change your choices or your
reactions to your personal environment and you will change your
world. Find caring, tolerant people who dont judge you by your
current circumstances and who can see the possibilities within
you. Join a like-minded club that understands and lives these
principles of creating your dreams.

Responsibility or Blame?
One of the greatest lessons toward ultimate freedom in
life is to understand how to take responsibility for everything that
happens to you without blame to yourself or to others. People
around you make mistakes. You make mistakes. The
circumstances of your life up until now perhaps have been
without the awareness of deliberate creating.

126
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

If you have had bad circumstances, you may resist


accepting that you have drawn those to you. Responsibility isnt
self-blame; responsibility is a doorway to make better choices. By
default thinking and misunderstanding the power you have within
you to create, you may have stumbled into circumstances that you
didnt want in your life. The freedom is in the realisation that you
can create good things in your life, and attract those things
through training and practise until you finally have the amazing
life that is your birthright.
By releasing the fault-finding you claim this power and
turn a corner. James Allen said, man becomes what he thinks
about in his book As A Man Thinketh. Move on and look at the
brighter side of creating. Each time something happens now, you
can choose different thoughts.

Where is Your Focus?


Have you ever seen the Funny Home Videos where
someone is tobogganing in an open field of snow with only one
tree? Somehow they magnetically slide toward that tree and bam!
Its the same with young bicycle riders. Why is that? It is a simple
mechanism that you need to know about so you can use it and not
be used by it.
Your subconscious constantly sends orders to your body.
You are programmed to use your five senses and if you are
looking at a tree, by virtue of your attention and your emotions
(sometimes cautious fear), then the subconscious only
understands that your order is to go there. The thought zombie
is loose again. This works everywhere in your life.
What are you paying attention to right now? Is it your list
of desires and Intentions? Is it your diary planner list of actions
for today? Or is it the memory of a miserable day at a stressful,
unsatisfying job and what you dont have in your bank account? It
is so important that you turn this around and use your imagination

127
Section III. When is it Going to Happen?

to replace the old recordings with happy images and feelings to


focus on what you want.
Compared to other techniques for change, focusing on
what you want is much simpler and less painful; no long years of
self assessment or coaching to dig up and release the past. That
path is still available for you if you have a persistent limiting
belief that prevents you from manifesting. If, however you are
ready for a simple way to create from your Intentions, just
practice focusing on what you want. Turn your focus from your
unwanted circumstances and focus on your desired good.

SPEED Wobbles
When you begin to develop those mental muscles and
manifest quickly, you may get an unpleasant surprise of
manifesting exactly what you dont want, because you slipped
back into negative thinking and acting. Once I began to
deliberately use these principles, manifesting began to speed up
for me, and I got a classic lesson to pay attention to what I was
thinking and doing in alignment. Driving an hour to work in my
beautiful silver silk suit, I was very careful not to spill my coffee.
Each sip I took was leaning off to the side, not over my lap. I had
a few sips left and as I got out of the car I took my cup with me.
Like some mechanical robot my hand did some trick on its own
and it somehow just tipped itself right onto my skirt. Astounded,
all I could say was, isnt that interesting. That was when I
learned that this stuff works fast. It was a good lesson, and the
stain came out too. There is no reason to worry about speed, as
you have the protection of Grace, and that gives you signals to
change your thinking before you actually manifest negative
desires. You are now trained to be aware of what you were
thinking, feeling or doing when something unpleasant occurred,
and you can redirect and refine your requests this way.

128
SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

This feedback is a natural part of the process, and it


serves as a reminder to pay attention to what you think and do
together. If you notice a negative thought, just mentally cross it
out and say, no, next thought please. You are in charge of
training your subconscious, so if you dont like the results, just
check what you were thinking and think again. Remember to let it
be alright to learn by mistakes, even though your childhood
programming was different. SPEED is a good problem to have!

Laugh, Move, Rest or Play


Finally, if you are truly weary and find yourself unable to
get back on track, you may have become too attached or involved,
or taken action so far in the wrong direction that you are
exhausted. Your circumstances may have become overwhelming.
You may have run out of steam or just become obstinately
impatient about when, losing faith in your dreams.
Acknowledge it and then take time out. Laugh, move, rest or play.
Watch hours and hours of comedy so you laugh and laugh and
laugh! Go for a brisk walk or run, go to the gym, swim, or put on
some music and dance freely; move and shake your body! Spend
a whole day in bed sleeping or reading something unimportant.
Put down the technology and get reconnected to nothing! Go fly
a kite. Seriously. Loosen up and let go.
Then, when your mind is freer, get up, dust yourself off,
and get back to The Method. Ease into it by playing a fun
manifesting game. It works.
Take small actions daily; resist distraction. Keep focused
on asking, choosing your outcome with clarity, feeling
satisfaction, and getting busy with action. Impatience is a sign
that your thoughts are fear-based and that you doubt the power of
creating. Keep your faith as the Universe partners with you to
obligingly deliver your clear, definite requests. Align yourself and

129
Section III. When is it Going to Happen?

your Intentions to Source Energy by feeling gratitude for what


you are about to receive. Then let go. Its all NOW.
You are always creating, passively or actively, so getting
actively involved in what you create is a better way of living life
the way you were meant to, and you will come out better than
ever because you designed it that way.

SUMMARY

When everything finally improved for me, this time I knew why. I
was in the flow of Life, understanding and using the Universal
Laws. If something stopped working, or I got off track or slowed
down, I was able to review the basics about the Laws. Then I was
free to review my current beliefs, challenge them and actively
change my thinking and feeling, which then changed my
behaviour, my results and therefore my world.

One year after we had turned our lives around I was


standing with my husband Gary in front of a huge Bugs Bunny
statue at Warner Bros Movieworld theme park, 10 minutes from
our new home. There we were, waiting for our youngest son to
finish his Road Runner Rollercoaster ride. As we sat together I
noticed the garden of real carrots and celery planted behind us. It
was a unique spot, unlike anywhere else. Then it struck me...the
memory, the moment, the emotion; I had been here before! 18
months earlier we were at this exact same spot. We were on
holiday then and (in another layer of time-or was it?) we were
having a conversation. Gary and I were talking about the
possibility of moving to Australia. I had just said, Imagine us
living here, being able to come whenever we want. Most New
Zealanders would be happy to take their kids to the Gold Coast
Theme Parks once in their lifetime. Imagine us having this
conversation again, saying Wow, we live here!
The only difference was that this was real, in the present
NOW, and in that overwhelming moment of gratitude and awe I
excitedly reminded Gary. He remembered too, and all he could
say, was Wow! with a satisfied smirk. We did it. It was quick,

Summary

incremental steps toward our dreams, always knowing that things


would work out fine. We used this powerful Method without
study, yet now that we know it we can consistently duplicate our
success and move through obstacles.
Manifesting anything you want in life is profoundly
simple. Take consistent, inspired action to find and follow your
dreams and create your world intentionally. Learn how to release
the energy within you that is holding you back.
Thoughts of scarcity come from fear. Thoughts of
abundance come from love, appreciation and faith that there is
more than enough, and you will get more of whatever you are
continually thinking and feeling. When you align your heart and
actions with Universal principles, you are truly in the flow of Life
and your greater good will continue to grow and expand to
currently unbelievable heights.
It starts with you making a decision NOW to accept the
abundance that flows past you as you begin to take action. The
how is flexible and open, and you will find that the truth is
always simple. Use the profound simplicity within these words to
master manifesting your life. Now is the time, and the only time
to feel your future and make a difference in your life and the lives
of those around you. I wish that you receive the unlimited
abundance that is waiting for you NOW.

Book Reviews
5 out of 5 stars A MUST READ!!!
I wish I had the opportunity to get this information after I
watched "The Secret" back in 2008 and my eyes were opened to
a whole different world. Unlike So Many other books I've read
which TALK about Manifesting, this Author, Lori Mitchell,
gives you "The How To" in Manifesting. It's not as complicated
as people make it out to be. Lori breaks it down in 7 Very
Simple Steps. I can't say enough Good about it, or tell you
enough as to How Much this information from this author has
impacted my life. I would've saved myself A Lot of frustration
and aggravation trying to figure out the process of Manifesting.
Lori is So down to earth in her explanations. Unlike other books
which have A Lot of filler info, you won't find that with this
course. I've read A Lot of Books, listened to A Lot of CDs,
watched A Lot of DVDs, but got nothing like the information
that Lori conveys in the concise manner in which she does with
this information. You WILL be glad to have this information.
It'll make your life A Whole Lot easier understanding "How" to
Manifest which is "What" you need to know to move on in life.
If you can't get it here, look it up on Google and go to Lori's
website to get it. I wish I had had it when I started out on my
journey. ~ Heather Fitch, Columbus, OH USA

"This book is awesome and is full of wonderful information and


things we can do to change our lives." ~Rosemary Burns

"I am a strong advocate of Lori's Book 'Speed Manifesting', and


to have Lori in person sharing her wisdom is an opportunity not
to be missed." ~ Ian Parkin

SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

Speed Manifesting is a deeply personal look into the life of


Lori and the Universal Laws she has discovered and applied.
You will relate to the challenges Lori faced and learn from the
principles she outlines to breakthrough to success. ~ Scott G

"I found this book amazing. It is easy to read and made me


realize that I had control over my future. After doing the
practical exercises, I am now noticing good changes in my life.
Events have occurred, seemingly out of the blue, which are
bringing me closer to my goals." ~Mark Rapson

"Lori has amazing insight into the Universal Laws & is a gifted
manifestor & motivator! As an author she breaks it all down
simply for the reader. Its a great book & i love the 7 steps to
Abundance! The 7 steps really motivated me at a time of
despair & personal loss. Speed Manifesting helps me to get
back on track, when I've drifted back into old habits of worry or
self doubt or when I unintentionally focus on what i dont want,
rather than what i do want! I highly recommend Lori Mitchells
book!" ~ Diana Morton

"I belong to Wealth Beyond Reason with Bob Doyle and found
Speed Manifesting as a download. It is the best book I have
read on manifesting and Lori, your generous spirit comes across
and has deeply touched my life. Thank you so much!" ~Cherry

"BRAVO!!!! I am finding it hard to put your book down. I


absolutely LOVE it!!!! ~ Carol Matheson

Book Reviews

"It's because of your book, I manifested a raise, and I also


manifested other things, I think of the universe several times a
day, too. It works." ~ Rhonda

"...I am presently studying the Master Key System by Charles


F. Hannel and using Speed Manifesting by Lori Mitchell, to
fine tune my search. Well, the results have been nothing short
of miraculous. The remarkable similarities between Hannel and
Mitchells message were enough to set me on the right course.
They put everything I was searching for in a simple and easy
perspective. Now those books are almost one hundred years
apart from each other, yet they coincide with one another
perfectly. I found the answers I was searching for and they were
a lot simpler than I ever imagined...I thank you Lori Mitchell
for your coaching and direction and you are a part of my daily
gratitude list. ~ Vinnie

"I've been utterly blessed and had absolutely amazing and really
significant positive changes in my life since reading this book
and putting it into action. Lori is incredible at taking the
complexities and making them simple and easy for anyone to
incorporate into daily life. You MUST read this book if you
want anything to change in your life...starting with you."
~Corinne Reynolds

manifesting video. It is a wonderful gift and a treasure map
towards manifesting ones desire/s. I recently purchased your
ebook, Speed Manifesting and continued being inspired."
~Tess

"Hi Lori, Its amazing that you have broken down the Law of
Attraction into simplicity and have made it more effective than
others who have tried to explain it. Thank you again, Lori. I
cannot even begin to tell you how amazing this thing has come
to me: your videos and mini-lectures. They are carrying more of
an impact on my life right now. Grateful," ~ Celeste

"Thank you so much for your information. It helps beyond


words." ~Robert

"Dear Lori, Your message is powerful. It came at a moment


when I was in need of something to help me to connect more
deeply to manifesting a particular goal. As a Healer and
Wsidom Keeper, I understand and follow the Principles already.
I found it helpful though to be the student, once again.
Blessings Of The One." ~Nkwejij Selina

"Dear Lori. I have enjoyed the seven videos that you have
obviously put so much time and effort into. I really appreciate
the fact that they are short in duration yet still filled with so
much teaching and insight. You truly are a great creator and
giver. I look forward to the bonus key video in one weeks
time and my continuation onward to greater, higher and deeper
happenings. Thanks and Best Wishes." ~Gerry.

"Hi Lori, thank you very much for your videos.. I have followed
Abraham for a number of years which I am grateful for. I am
able to understand the meaning of speed manifesting more
clearly because you just have that certain way of explaining
everything...I am still reading your book, and watch what I am
always thinking. Will email you further into the book with more
good news. I thank you so much for opening my heart and eyes.
Abundance, love and light to you." ~Carol

"Thank you so much Lori for your fantastic step by step


process. I love it! Because its very clear and very easy to
follow with deeply touched at heart. Once I now know how to
stop and listen quietly inside my thought and asking myself
what I truly really want? This step one has playing a major part
to sort out what I truly wanted and unwanted. And now I put
them into two different boxes. I now choose to focus on ONLY
wanted box that I want to have in my life. Your step by step
process is a blessed! Million thanks Lori!" ~Lisa

"Lori, Can I just say thank you for this video today. It really
brightened me up and made me feel connected and I think you
are gorgeous and I am grateful that you sent this to me."
~Christine

SPEED Manifesting: The Method Lori Mitchell

"Lori, I think your distinction between gratitude and


appreciation is very helpful. I have often struggled with the
concept of feeling gratitude; consequently, I find it hard to
engage emotionally with gratitude-feeling grateful. Most
personal development persons speak of listing things to be
grateful for, usually as the last thing to do before going to sleep
at night. Frankly, I have not found this exercise useful.
However, when I think in terms of appreciating things in my
life, the concept becomes clearer and easier to practice.
Appreciation, to me, is a dynamic present-tense exercise that I
can do throughout my day. Making gratitude lists is a static,
past tense activity. Thank you for your insight.
The concept of assumptive action is very provocative! Acting as
if you already had the manifestation is difficult for me and I
assume its difficult for other people. I compare assumptive
action to being instead of just doing. By thinking
assumptively we are forced to look at the consequences (both
desired and undesired) of our actions. If we start taking
assumptive action, we might actually do better at orderly and
intuitive actions." ~Jim

"Kia ora Lori enjoyed the messages and journey you have
taken me on over the last week. I look forward to continually
aligning myself and re-visitng the videos when needed.
Especially enjoyed The Circulation video, I need to work a little
more on this I feel." ~Chris

"THANKYOU!! Through your daily exercises/videos, I was


able to manifest a desire I had and that renewed my faith in the
law of attraction. Now I am keen on manifesting more and
more. Thank you so much Lori." ~Katryna

"Hi Lori, You are Awesome! Your clarity, your wisdom, and
you peacefulness has been a great blessing to me. I enjoy and
look forward to these late night videos that I practice before I go
to sleep. Thank You!" ~Gwyn

"Hi Lori Thanks so much for the valuable information in all of


these videos. I have your ebook so will be studying this over the
next week too! I am really inspired to take action towards these
steps, you have explained them in a way that I havent been
able to grasp before, but now it seems so clear! I have done a
mind movie every year with my intentions, but now I have also
created a vision book I bought a beautiful notebook that looks
like it is covered in jewels, and have put many manifesting
pictures and statements in it. I have a page in it that has a
picture of a treasure chest and put pictures of what I want to
manifest between its pages, and then I sleep with it under my
pillow. I feel it connects me to the magic of the universe, so
thanks so much for the inspiration!" ~Estelle

"Dear Lori, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You,
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You & God Bless you. I wish
upon you, Wealth, health, happiness, abundance &
prosperity.You made a tremendous difference in my life."

understand way. Totally clear! Looking forward to the next
step." ~Matts

"Hi Lori, thanks so much for the 7 steps. I too love that they are

"Hi Lori, Your inspirational videos are an amazing follow up to


your book which I have read also, passed on from a dear friend.
Like you, she has come into my life on my journey to my new
life, a new way of thinking, feeling and creating! I have just
manifested a teaching position, full time which I have longed
for a few months. I felt it, beleived it, visualised it, was grateful
for it previous, and have acheived an amazing position that is
set to challenge and enrich my life. Thank you Lori, and look

"Hi Lori, Thanks for your great videos & the wonderful teacher
you are! Yes, I find that gratitude is the key for me. Being
grateful for the small things. When I express my sincere
gratitude for whatever it is that I have received, or for my
environment, my level of appreciation is elevated instead of
taking things for granted! We say Grace for our meals but wed
weve never given thanks for the water or beverages we drink,
till now. Giving thanks for the simple things in life: the fresh
air we breath, the whole body in which we live & appreciation
for each other! I appreciate you Lori & give thanks for your
message:-) With gratitude" ~Connie

"Hi Lori, Thanks for the video and I will finish the ebook today.
Its really marvelous, thank you again. I not only know very
specifically what I want, but I say it out loud every day as if I
already have it and also mentally. I have it written down, as
well as exactly what Im going to do with it when it arrives. It
feels very good to be in this place and for the first time in my
life, it feels attainable and real as opposed to a mere unrealistic
or unattainable wish or dream that I used to have. Im looking
forward to the next video." ~Marina

"Thank you Lori for these short videos. They are great
reminders. I have manifested many wonderful things and
experiences in my life. I also have struggled with the
manifesting process at times. Your clear and short videos are
well done. I will be listening to them again and sharing with
others. Now it is time to practice, practice, practice. The process
never ends. Thanks," ~Bonnie
