When you were little, you probably made a lot of wishes. So did I. Unfortunately, it always seemed to be a hit-or-miss proposition: sometimes they came true, but often, they didn't. So when I became an adult, I decided to see if there wasn't a way to smooth out the process and make it more reliable. By reading and experimenting with a combination of spiritual and scientific practices, I found that there are a few "secrets" that may be of use to you now.

Since it's easy to learn from stories, I'll share one that happened recently. I had a man ask me how he could manifest or attract $25,000 a month.

"So what you're saying is that right now, you don't have $25,000 a month," I said.

"That's right. I don't have it."

"But you want it."

"Definitely! I want it more than anything."

I pointed out two "flaws" in his wish-making process. By affirming that he doesn't have the money, he is reinforcing both a mind-set and a sub-atomic vibration that creates an energy barrier to ever getting it. And by saying that he "wants" the money, he is reinforcing the condition of want. So I continued: "As I understand it then, in this moment you don't have $25,000, but you hope to get it sometime in the future, yes?"

"Sometime soon, please. I need it right away."

Again, he was making it clear that he was thinking, experiencing and believing in poverty, and that he has tremendous need. Both are guaranteed wish-breakers, at least when it comes to manifesting money or wealth.

So I taught him a simple trick: "All you need is a single word to make your wish come true."

"What? What?" he demanded.

"Hallelujah!"

"Hallelujah!" is the ultimate conscious creative word. It's as layered with meaning as ancient rock. On the surface, there is unbounded happiness. Along with it comes a joyous noise, the kind that wakes us up and says "Yes! This is exactly what I wanted!" Hallelujah is the word we use when we want to praise something glorious. It's our rescue word, the one that expresses release and relief after terrible torment. It's also the one that makes our wishes come true.

But before we can use it, we need to get a better handle on what we are creating with our wishes and why we want our visualizations to come true. In my book, The Ten Gifts, there are ten questions in the chapter on the gift of Dreams that help clarify our desires so we know that manifesting them will help create greater good for everyone. The problem most people have with desires is that they choose things that simply provide temporary relief from some kind of pain they are experiencing. There is no sense of surrender, of trading a smaller definition of ourselves for something finer, more peaceful and more universal...
