Eavesdropping

[Dover]

I was at lunch with a friend and when he excused himself to use the restroom I began to hear a conversation a couple of tables away that peaked my interest. One woman was talking about something she'd seen on Oprah about creating some kind of manifestation board with pics, words, etc. that represented what one would like to manifest. The other woman responded that she had done that several years ago (from something she read?..not sure what she said, and was wondering if it was a workshop she attended instead). But she called it Miracle Manifestation. She said it changed her life.
So I thought, "hmmm...I'll google that when I get home", and came up with this book:

I'm curious if anyone is familiar with the book or author? If so can you share some details about it? I'm not sure if this is what the woman was referring to, or if there are others who authored something similar or do workshops by that name. Anyway, I'm just curious. Thanks.

1. I haven't heard of this particular book, Dover.

I am familiar with the idea of using a manifestation board. I became aware of the concept through the channeled being with whom I work. It's just one of the tools that he recommended that we use to manifest what we want into our lives.

I'll kick this back to the top in case someone else has more details about the book. :)

2. Haven't heard of it either

though I've done variations on it for years. Kicking this to keep it at the top so others who have heard of the book might see it.

3. I think it's called The Secret

I saw a short video about this a couple of years ago, and they talked about manifestation boards.

I have seen these ideas in Creative Visualization and similar books. Also in The Secret, I believe.

5. I made my first vision board nearly 30 years ago

I kept it until I had experienced everything it depicted.

For the past several years I have kept 2 mini photo albums. One contains affirmations and the other serves the purpose of a vision board. I use them everyday - and they have the advantage of both traveling well and being easy to update and revise over time.

I was first introduced to the concept of vision boards in a public high school psychology class. I have found them to be very effective.

I Googled and found this page which is a pretty good summary of how I was taught to make and use a vision board:

6. Thank you all...for bumping this post and providing such great links!

It seems this 'how to manifest your dreams' idea has been around a very long time and just keeps getting recirculated in various forms. And no wonder. It's such a wonderful way to bring what might otherwise get lost floating around in our minds and hearts onto the page, the first step toward manifestation. I always liked Julia Cameron's, Artist's Way, for similar reasons because it helped me process some of that mind fog.

However, I was curious about the source and title that the woman I overheard kept mentioning...'Miracle Manifestation Manual'. I had just never heard of it, and wasn't sure if it was a book or the title of a workshop or something else, which is why I googled it. As my link in the OP shows, there IS a book by that title, so perhaps that's what the woman was referencing. If that book is the source, I'm guessing it is somewhat obscure since it's not ringing any bells with folks. I will probably never know for sure, but was just curious if anyone here was familiar with the book, the author or the term/title Miracle Manifestation Manual.
