As we near the end of the experiment, the most important question to ask yourself is:
“Have I been letting my prosperity in?”
If we understand that abundance and well-being are present all around us, we remember that it is our responsibility to let it in.
As Abraham-Hicks explains:
“We want to find a way to say it so that you can hear it without any questions – WELL BEING WANTS YOU!
Well Being is beating your door down! Beating all doors down! Well Being is plummeting towards you, through you! Well Being is your legacy! Well Being is the way you’re supposed to be! Well Being is
what should be! Well Being is the basis of What Is! Well Being is!And unless you’ve practiced resistant thoughts that aren’t letting it in, Well Being is, you see. Period
What is the remedy? To practice the virtual reality that lets it in. — Abraham-Hicks
Today let’s get your juices flowing with this provocative question:
” How do you know when you are letting prosperity in?”
You may learn a lot about yourself as you consider this question…and review the perspectives of those wise beings who post their thoughts here on the blog.
At the top right of each post by me there is a link to read ‘comments’ by other readers. (Be sure to do so as the contributed wisdom is the best part of the blog.)

How do you know when you are letting prosperity in?
When you are receiving it, it’s as simple as that

I have to agree with Sabine.
Short story: A woman desired a brand new set of dishes. A friend of hers gave her a set of cracked plates. She was a little upset at the time because they were cracked. She, then, shifted her focus to seeing the cracked plates as a sign that her new dishes were on the way. She appreciated the cracked plates. Soon after, she received some new dishes.
I said that to say this, I know I am letting in prosperity when I receive “cracked plates” (evidence of the desire in some form).
Abraham followers: I have a question. When Esther sees “1111″ or something similar to that – did she consider that her way of letting prosperity in or being in alignment with her desire?
I see “666″, “222″, “111″, “999″, “777″, etc. all throughout my day almost daily, I’m wondering if that means I’m in alignment with my desires.
I couldn’t recall what tape that was on.
Letting it in,

oh my gosh…
i have been seening number sequences on a regular basis since july… particularily 1111 – i see it daily, i started recording all the times i see it…
it will be 10:10 10:11, 11:11, 1:01 – it is crazy…..
i had to look it up…. it means “new beginnings” and /or to also stop and see what you are thinking at the time you see this number…. if i am feeling lack i quickly change my thought to a better thinking thought and create a new story…
i borrowed a line from the Hicks new book page 199 – 200 – My new story is about…..
the other analogy they gave was september 11th… the towers look like 11, flight 11, on and on…. i didn’t read all about that in full but if you google the meaning of numbers you are bound to read for yourself what 11 means…
long story short – i have given a new meaning when i see the 111 sequence – and that meaning is the “universe talking to me”, look what fork i am at, and choose a better feeling thought …

I feel that I am letting prosperity in when I am releasing my fear of lack. I also feel very peaceful and calm knowing that I have given my desires over to a greater power. I know that I am letting prosperity in when I know, when I trust, and when I believe.
Several weeks ago a soft voice whispered to me saying, “It’s not that you can’t. It’s that you have to believe that you can…” I now believe that I can create abundance and prosperity…

I did not mean my comment in the obvious way, I meant it in the other way; I guess I am not explaining this properly… Anybody else “knows”/can explain what I meant with ?

I do not know the answer precisely. I probably do not even know the answer imprecisely. I believe that once you hear the story that runs in the background of your existence that demands creation, then you will let in prosperity. I believe that it flows from deep place rather than a lot of surface wanting.
I have been a musician-in-creation for many years. About 8 years ago, I decided to purchase a rather expensive 88 key stage-quality keyboard. I thought I wanted it to play at home, but as it turned out I re-birthed a musical career that provides me great satisfaction. I did not the story in the background that was being enacted.
I think I let prosperity in when I know what that story is at any one time. I believe that there is always a story there because it is natural for me to create.
September 10, 2008 at 10:04 am
Frank
And by the way, my list of 100 things is up to 66 today. I believe that this list is also another way of looking at many things that I deny because I do not think they are practical….reasonable….possible. The more I write the things that come to my mind, the more I fill out my background story of what it is that helps me express that story in atoms/electrons.

How do you know when you are letting prosperity in?
When you feel that it all comes to you with hardly any effort or struggle. When you feel at ease with how things are going and always aware that it all will work out in the end.

I love this question! I have been using this “experiment” to expand my definition of prosperity. So I know I am letting prosperity in because…. I just know it! My heart is at peace. I live in rich abundance. Just looking out the window at the forest, I feel prosperous. The huge body of water across the street is pure bliss abundance. I’ve got a great partner….wonderful kids….loving friends and family….money in the bank…..great neighbors….the list goes one and on….

First, we must be grateful to God for saving us by the blood of His son.Gratitude must be in our lives at all times. We should breathe it, think it and act it. It makes others respect us and feel like giving all the time. It puts an uplifting spin on our lives.

Thanks everyone for your words. I know I am letting it in when the day after spending $5500 in the prosperity game on my friends, a coupon in the form of a cheque arrives in the mail from a local lending company offering me a loan for $5500.
I know I’m letting it in when the coins I find on the street jump from pennies and dimes to quarters.
I know I am letting it in when I am “feeling it” and not shutting it out by worrying about it.
I know I am letting it in when it comes unexpectedly.
I know I am letting it in when my friends around me are suddenly prospering.
With gratitude!

clairedeRose
Maybe I’m letting it in right now. because right now I’m feeling elated and happy and excited by the adventure of life. Every day brings new people, new insights, something special.
I’m also living for the moment, which is unusal for me,and it’s because I’m on holiday and focusing mostly on the senses – going to bed and getting up early which is a wonderful feeling, having the whole day in front of you and the morning air not yet hot but you know the warmth is on its way, and setting off to the thermal centre swimming pools, the sun’s up by now and sinks lovingly into your bones, cool water, swimming slowly across the poool, time for mud baths, resting under the palm trees, back in the pool, meeting a kindred spirit, the journey home, blissfully tired, someone gives you a big hug.
I’m not thinking about any thing I want. It doesn’t occur to me to want anything! I am just full of the joy of the moment.There is also peace and excitement and gratitude there and so is this what it’s about do you think? Could this be the state you’re in when you’re letting it in?

i know i am letting prosperity in when i get fake checks in the mail offering loans for the exact amount of that’s days prosperity check . it has been happening quite frequently. you know when you are letting prosperity in when your load it lightened. be it getting money you didn’t expect but needed, letting go of a relationship that’s long been dead, meeting new people who bring new ideas , realizing from your “100′” list that the things you thought you wanted to do have, do be have changed so dramtically from the being to being more focused on helping others than self. i have had so many good things happen to me since i started this game. my load has been lightened. namaste

I’m letting prosperity in when my desires come to me easily and also what I want for others . I made a marriage journal for my friend and her husband for their anniversary and on the outside I had the word celebrate, when I gave it to her she couldn’t believe it because she had told her husband that they needed to celebrate more that it doesn’t take money to enjoy their anniversary and she was going to make a journal but never got around to doing it! She thought she had discussed it with me when in fact she hadn’t.
My question is: is the journal what I wanted for her or is it because we are all connected and this thought/feeling came from her and I brought into reality for her?

when you are able to GIVE AWAY what you seek….you are letting it in BIG TIME.

Hi everyone,
I guess I never thought about how I would know if I was letting prosperity in. I “assumed” if I was letting it in, I would see tens of thousands in my accounts and have a wonderful new position that I enjoyed each day.
I always knew the little things I am grateful for are prosperous as well, but did not see it as “prosperity”.
I guess as long as I can find things to be grateful for each day, I am letting prosperity into my life even when I don’t feel so prosperous.
God, love me, I think I’ve got it.

What Claire de Rose said “Being full of the joy of the moment” resonates with me for letting prosperity in. Also, just a feeling of freedom. Freedom from the worries, sorrow, panic, shame, blame, anger, on and on. Letting prosperity in gives me total freedom from those pains. Because when I have let in prosperity, those feelings can’t exist.
Also, Stephanie – yes, I believe we are all connected and you probably tapped into your friends desire for the journal. Love that story!
What a wonderful experiment. It’s a pleasure to be in this laboratory!

Life is more joyful. I am more enthusiastic. I accept what is. These are some things that are helping me align my vibration.
Thanks to all of you for sharing.
September 10, 2008 at 7:19 pm

I just went to the Prosperity Game and read this quote “You attract by your vibration. Everything in the Universe is experiencing the powerful Law of attraction…And when you are vibrating in pain, you cannot attract joy. The vibration of pain attracts only pain. The vibration of joy attracts joy, the vibration of illness attracts illness…The Law IS, and the wonderful thing is that once you understand the Law, and you are sensitive enough to feel how you are vibrating, then you have control of your experience. ”
Abraham-Hicks
So, I now have my confirmation of the previous comment that I made – I am aligning my vibration with prosperity and am now attracting it.
September 10, 2008 at 7:20 pm

Letting it in appears to be – recognizing prosperity in all forms and being surprised by exciting little tidbits I would have never expected particularly when the thought had crossed my mind.
That was when I realized I didn’t have to make anything happen – just allow.
September 10, 2008 at 8:11 pm

I’m kinda puzzled by the idea that the “vibration of illness attracts illness” – I agree that unresolved emotional issues sometimes manifest as dis-ease because its the only way they have of expressing themselves in the 3D world, and its one way of identifying and dealing with an issue, but ‘the vibration of illness’????
I’m 50….
in 2002, I was 44/45… three months before I chose to get pregnant with my son, I had a mammogram – all clear – not a smidgen of suspicion to be seen….
I became pregnant in October 2002, my son was born in July 2003 when I was 45…
In April 2005, I was diagnosed with breast cancer so widespread that at the age of 46, I had to have a left radical mastectomy…. the mammograms and ultrasounds and MRIs showed this huge starry-night web of microcalcifications, taking over more than half the breast…. actually, it was kinda beautiful to look at!
Where did that come from in three years? The accepted theory is that cancer takes at least 10 years to become visible and I had been having regular mammograms….
I dont know that I was vibrating at the frequency of illness at that time…. sure, I was dealing with big issues and it wasnt a ‘comfortable’ time, but I was moving and growing and expanding…
I think we sometimes call ‘difficult’ experiences (like major illness) to us because they are potentially the most intense and most thorough means of growing – they carry within them the seeds of wisdom (if we choose to see it that way) that might not have been uncovered in any other way…
As to how do I know when I’m letting prosperity in…. well, its seeing and enjoying the beautiful home I manifested quite deliberately and created around us, after nearly 7 years of living out of boxes! (I wrote a very specific list of what I wanted and wouldnt settle for anything else – this came together with two days to spare before we had to be out of where we were staying)
And its having things I think about happening, before I even articulate them out loud….
And its finding small tokens of prosperity (mostly coins) whenever I get out of the car…
And its listening to the radio and hearing an item about the very idea/issue I am focused on at that moment…
And its finding something I want at half the price I expected to pay, so that I can then get two things I wanted instead of one!
And I want to thank you all for the kind words of support on this blog…. I use these pages more like a journal (which I dont keep for myself!) and sometimes think I am being far too transparent – its reassuring to know that my musings add to the collective here…. and its certainly a circular thing – I have found so much wisdom and comfort in others’ contributions for myself….
Namaste all

I know I am allowing spirit, creation and “prosperity” in when I am in grateful, bewildered, excited moods. The more little things I can be grateful for, the more know I am tapped into source energy.
Some days it’s easy, some days it takes some work, and some days I have to kick myself in the butt – change my state entirely!
I am getting better and better at it though, which I love : )

I know I am letting it in, when a huge surprising event occurs, things shift, i only have perfect trust in the good outcome and i feel it coming in my direction with the feeling of “it is done”.

I kNOW I’m letting in because I just received in today’s mail:
A check for $685.71
A check for $904.10
A check for $30.59
A check for $1,957.40 for my husband was in the mail!
WOO HOO!!! Elyse, we’ve got to keep this going!!! MORE! MORE!! MORE!!
I’ve got my cracked plates. I’m close to receiving my desire of $100,000!
I AM at one with a tremendous amount of money! I see myself receiving over $100,000 immediately to enable me to pay off my mortgage and car note in one lump sum payment. And, it is so!
Today’s topic is so appropriate!
Everyone stick with it! Keep believing. That progressive affirmation from the previous day’s challenge played a big part in this.
Today, I KNEW deep down within that money was going to come to me from everywhere. I didn’t know how or from where, but I knew that I knew that I knew money was coming.
With that “knowing” my whole attitude was changed. I only had $7.00 in my purse, but I acted as if I was made of Money today. I was so confident that the Universe was going to do something big and the Universe didn’t disappoint me.
My needs are always met. Thank You, God!

Hi Everybody!
I generally have a good handle on when I’m letting it in because I feel it. I can tell in an instant when I stop the energy (and prosperity) flow, and also when the energy is running. And I’m getting better at this every day, really I am. And I don’t mean to sound like an “Abraham clone”, but I truly AM getting SO much better at this every day. I adore my life and I am thrilled that with this forum it seems that my life is getting better daily than it usually is (and that’s pretty dang good)!
I know when prosperity is flowing ~ which to means simply means energy is flowing and I’m allowing it in. It feels tingly and exciting and I notice the colors, fragrances and beauty around me more vividly. I take the time to look at the incredibly beautiful and amazing place that I live. I breathe in the fresh air, hear the birds, I tend to see more and more wild life wander into the yard.
Yesterday I was rinsing dishes (which could be so mundane)…and was appreciating the staggering beauty of the view from my kitchen window. I was looking through the still crystal clear morning sky…gazing at Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helen’s and I saw something move in the yard below. It was a huge bobcat who wandered in from the forest to sun himself on the big landscape rocks in our backyard. He knew he was totally safe – and welcome here! I felt quite prosperous, grateful, thrilled in the moment at the heaven on earth that I’ve created in my life.
I especially love this forum, this group, because there are few places where it’s acceptable to discuss all that one has or “have created”. Around friends, I tend to “tone it down” a bit. They always think I’m just “lucky” – yet I’ve created SO much in my life. And I have started having fun lately by quoting Esther by sometimes saying “I did that” (as in “I created that”)! Thank you all – I am blessed.

I just got back from an evening with an ex boyfriend who I intentionally had not seen in 14 years. Two days ago I felt quite neutral about seeing him. By yesterday I was second guessing “now what is the reason that I’m doing this…” nothing. I got to a place where I really wanted nothing. My memories of him were so positive that at first I couldn’t remember why I distanced myself from him. Then I became nervous and started hating him for the way things ended. By 2 am, unable to sleep I began crying. would this meeting be a closure or a rekindling? ….. I opened today’s page “Letting It In”. At my desk at work I asked myself what do I need to do to move forward, see the ex tonight and accept him for who he is. Just the asking brought in the light… we talked, laughed and kissed at the end of the evening, as though the 14 year gap never happened. …. Namaste.

Hello everyone!
I just got a thought that I play out here.
We are prosperous at all times. How? Because whether I let the good or the less good in, I´m doing it prosperously, it´s always generously coming to me. So, however your life is unfolding, you are prosperous! There´s no other way than to let things come to you, it´s just about choosing in which end of the stick (more positive or more negative) you want to prosper. Does it make sense?
The comforting thought I want to evoke is that no matter what we are attracting, we are prosperous in that area. To have a knowing that we are oh so prosperous at all times could be a thought that make us believe in the generosity of universe at a deeper level …
With love,
Mika

Dear Mika,
your explanation is wonderful, that’s partly what I meant with my statement
How do you know when you are letting prosperity in?
When you are receiving it, it’s as simple as that………..

When the flow of prosperity started I wanted to question it and say is it really happening. I like to read and thought how wonderful it would be to have a Kindle, an Amazon electronic book that I could take with me everywhere but with some things higher on the priority list, I put the thought aside. Lo and behold my brother called a few days after to say he was buying one and he was able to get two at reduced price so he had gotten one for me too. I had never expressed the desire to my brother. Naturally I thanked him and the universe.
Then I was seeking funding to publish a book of beautiful poetry that came out of a poetry competition I ran. Somehow it wasnt working out and just last week I turned it over to the universe. Last night at a function someone who knew about it came up and asked if I had received the funding… she was now in a position to provide the balance of the funding, she said. Look how effortlessly these things come after weeks of striving. I do believe more than ever in the saying…”Let go and let God”
Thanks to you all who have buttressed my spirit and carried me along this transcendent path.
You all smell so nice.

I absolutely HAVE to share this story:
I got a notification yesterday from the post that something too large to fit in my home post box needs collecting. I was wondering what it could be, as I am not expecting anything. So today I though: oh goodie, maybe a present so I rushed there during lunch time and on the envelope it said something about promotion and I though: oh god I rushed all the way there to get some stupid advertising material. I opened: well it was a book !! and I totally forgot that weeeeks ago I ASKED to get this book as a freebee during a promo in a magazine. The title of the book: Women and money !!!!!
The universe does have a sense of humor….
September 11, 2008 at 11:07 am
Linda
Thank you Mika for the wonderful way you express…. so beautiful and so very much how I also see it.
How do I know when I am letting it in? When I remember and stay still and feel it. It is always there, just slowing down and letting go and letting in .. the abundance of beauty and wealth of each and every day, no matter how the “world” seems to be doing. At our own personal ground zero, inside, the abundance of goodness and wonder is always there.
September 11, 2008 at 12:12 pm

Yes, I like what Mika said about prosperity always being there, it is just what kind of prosperity do you want? For many many years I have been VERY prosperous in the area of depression, scarcity, anger, fear and unhappines. I just smile now with compassion for the me that lived in that kind of “prosperity”
But last October I sent out the cry to the universe that I wanted to be happy and my prayers were answered. I found a therapist, was introduced to Lola Jones, read Eckhart Tolle’s new book and was sent a link for choosingprosperity.com and the rest is history.
I now choose a different kind of prosperity. One full of love, happiness, and joy. So I know when I am recieving my prosperity when I feel those emotions. I know when I am out of alingment with my chosen prosperity when I feel any of those old negative energies. I also know I’m out of alignment when I worry and try to figure things out on my own. When I let go and trust, when I release the worry and analyzing then I know I’m back on track to letting in the good.

Since I seem to be challenged with the blog and also don’t want to forfeit the time right now to learn how to do it, I am going to report some of my created prosperity here. OK, I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!
First of all the company that has not paid me in a timely manner and not at all for several months did catch up. I am aware that this is MY money and not ‘newly created’. However, blessings to them!
My vet gave me a $40 bag of cat food for FREE because the delivery guy ripped it open. A very high-end furniture store sent me a $100 gift card, for no reason, I opened a bank account and got $75 worth of gas cards. My one client who buys retail supplements made her order (haphazardly in timing-never know when) just in time for me to use my proceeds from this to buy all of MY supplements (at wholesale) which were dwindling. This order will last me for several months. I was very generously asked to a woman’s (someone I barely know) house to learn to make ‘lavender wands’ with her lavender and her ribbon, being fed homemade biscotti and tea, enabling me to come home and make one for my sister with MY lavender and MY ribbon, for the birthday present I neglected to send her in July. She LOVES it. My bookkeeper did my state and federal personal and corporate taxes for me for $50 because I bought her the software and she got to ‘learn’ on my corporate. She’s
awesome so I have no worries there. I’m not a match for them looking at me anyway.
So….this is really fun! I look forward to more!! And with Jupiter direct now I expect all of my friends and loved ones to be prospering in several ways also!
Prosperous Blessings, Maury

” How do you know when you are letting prosperity in?”
i know i am letting prosperity in when i wake up in the morning and am so happily eager to get my day going that i can hardly get ready fast enough. or, conversely, when i am so satisfied with everything in my life that i lay in bed for extra minutes or hours just contemplating my life. smiling to myself about all that is here and all that is to come.
when i am excited about the now moment and the future. and can even smile at the ast for getting me to where i am now.
i know i am letting prosperity in when i just feel joy and expectancy. like i can’t wait to see what the day holds. it’s a feeling i can feel in my lungs. i breath easily and more deeply. like i just want to breath in all of life.
it’s a feeling i feel in my heart. as if it’s expanding.
it’s a feeling i feel in my stomach – like butterflies.
i feel it in my bones through and through…and i know, without doubt that i am in the flow.
and all these feelings culminate and feed me positive thoughts that have me thinking, in occasion, that i feel so light that if i had wings i bet i could fly.
.
for me, it’s a lightness of being.

I know I’m letting prosperity in when I’m feeling enthousiasm even when I wake up, in the morning, as I’m feeling right now. I feel calm and I’m living one day at a time. I also appreciate a lot when people around me are prosperous. I’m feeling as a prosperity magnet for me and for others.

A few things spring to mind about Letting it In:
it’s when you feel plugged in – plugged into Source, Energy, Bliss, whatever you want to call it…
“Do things with your whole heart, with as much intensity as you are capable of.” Osho – ‘The Book of Understanding’
it’s when you find yourself inner smiling, despite moments of Doubt and Fear (which are part of it all, they won’t disappear – just the way you deal with them does).
“I’ve never known anyone to find answers from thinking things to death, but I have known people who gained peaceful insights and grand solutions while strolling through the park.”
Sonia Choquette, ‘Trust Your Vibes’
it’s when when you are able to take your focus outside of yourself and your perceived problems.
Quote from Confucious:
“The Master said, (the good man) does not grieve that other people do not recognize his merits. His only anxiety is lest he should fail to recognize theirs.”

Actually, prosperity has been coming to me since March ‘09. In a way I was aware but so often, while living the “every day” life, I say to myself, “oh, yeah, that was a bunch of prosperity that just came to me”, then look out the window at my car and curse ’cause there is a big puddle of rain right by the drivers door – “what a bummer – why is the puddle just by the drivers door?”. So, I’ve just brushed off a most important gift(s) of prosperity.
I have learned here, during this experiment several things – First, that I MUST PAY ATTENTION – not let myself be diverted from, every moment, seeing and FEELING prosperity.
For the past several years I have lived in an area of the country that, on the surface, is not compatible with my beliefs. It is so overpowering, I have thought, to be smothered by all this negative energy! I certainly chose to be here in the belief that I was doing something noble for my daughter that has Parkinson’s. This experiment has helped me to admit that I moved here for my own reasons too. I was PUSHING in many areas of my life, not PULLING.
In March, as a Parkinson’s advocate, I attended a conference in Washington D.C. with my daughter and over 300 PD advocates.
Two wonderful things happened, well a lot of good stuff happened at that conference. Learning about being an advocate and how I might help those with PD by bringing about awareness in my own very small, rural community. That was the first thing – I returned home and did a “blitz” with flyers, newspaper announcements, etc. to start a PD support group. It’s small but mighty. I feel so much love from the people that have joined the group. We meet once a month; sometimes attend other meetings together. It’s one of the “caregiver” members that gave me a $50. check “for all that I do for the group”. Alert! Alert! Recipient of Prosperity here!! Yea! Being involved with this group and bringing them information about having a better quality of life while living with PD has really opened ME up to what I’m receiving every day – and in a community that I felt isolated in. The people in the group are generating Love! What a gift! What Prosperity that is!
OK! So, that happened in March of ‘09, long before I was invited by a friend to join the Prosperity Ezperiment (Thank Youl! Cheryl!).
The second huge step in becoming aware of the prosperity I was letting in (hmmm! Awareness! What a concept). came at the same event.
During the conference we were divided into working groups and I was seated next to a couple from a state in the North West – I’m living in the South East. We immediately clicked! They are both originally from California, as I am. They began talking about where they now live and how I would love it there too. The more we talked the more I realized that this was a big part of what I’d been asking the Universe for in the past 6 months. The couple (friends after 10 mins. of talk) invited me to visit them to see if I liked the area. I visited over 4th. of July and fell in lovewith the town. I plan to move there in June of ‘10.
I know I’m receiving because; A year ago I asked the Universe for a family of like-minded friends and I got friends in the like minded PD group even though it’s here, in an area that I’ve felt uncomfortable in. I’ve begun a family of friends with the people in the North West and I have no doubt that family will grow. A year ago I also asked to somehow sell a part of my doll making business to a group out of the countr. At that time I got no answer (evidently, it wasn’t the right time). At the end of August, having not heard anything from that company, I got a request for an order of dolls. I answered saying I no longer wanted to make dolls but would sell them a license to produce and sell them. They asked for a proposal that I returned to them. It was accepted as is. During this time of back and forth communication I allowed myself to let go of an expected outcome. Wow, does that ever work. The sale of the business will finance my move West.
Being involved in this experiment has allowed me to be surrounded by like-minded people and processes of thinking that support how I really want to live. It has let me see how much I’ve been and am receiving. AWARENESS.
When the experiment “ends” it will not end for me. I intend to repeat each day’s lesson continually because this is an on-going process and I have learned here that I must pay attention, not be diverted, and Live the Law of Attraction – Live a life of Prosperity – Live surrounded by a family of friends, Live with Love and Joy and to share the Gift of Prosperity in all ways. I will also “comment” every day in my computer journal, just as we’ve done here. Our communications will always be out there – we’ll still be sharing and traveling on the wave of energy where we gather.
Yes, I realize I’ve finally let my Prosperity in!
Thank You Elyse for this fantastic, fun program. And, thank all of you, from 2008 and now, for being here!
Love to all

Every thing feels easier. I start to see evidence in small ways and if I stay in alignment the evidence gets more and more obvious. I feel like I can do anything and life just feels good. I feel fearless in the face of what appears as reality, and I feel inspired to keep visualizing and creating my new reality with inspired action. I feel energized and positive.

” How do you know when you are letting prosperity in?” When I can spend money on what I need and have no bad feelings about letting it go. When I don’t have any concerns about my expenses, and all that I need to live a happy, fun, passionate and fulfilled life being provided. When I can say ‘I’m having one those’ with no question that the resources are there to obtain whatever it is.
These were my comments when I first read the question. But some of the posts above are so great, because they add that extra dimension, which is the FEELINGS and manifestations associated with the state, and that is what I now realise I was looking for. Thank you.

I know I’ve let it in.
I lost my cornerstone client.
And yet, I’m happy and excited — the jobs that I’ve been applying for are mad, sexy! I never would have had these opportunities if I hadn’t lost my main client.
I don’t know what the new gig is, but I can already tell it’s going to be great. I’m so thrilled and looking forward to working there – where ever there is.
I totally trust that this is going to be amazing!

YOU ALL ROCK HERE, YES YOU DO!!! AND I AM HONORED TO KNOW EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU THROUGH THIS FORUM! SUCH MAGNIFICENT AND COURAGEOUS SOULS YOU ARE!
I know I am letting my Prosperity in when there is No Thing I deny that is My Heart’s Desire. All Roads are Open, there have been no mistakes, only learning opportunities, and All is Well, and I KNOW IT!
Today is especially fine for me, I am at work on my Business Heart’s Desire, there has been a MAJOR SHIFT in who I am being around this work, and I am now giving myself the gift of prosperity around my Dreams Come True(~!~)…..
MAY YOU ALL LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!

Reading these quotes are letting prosperity in every single time!!! I agree with Tonya YOU ALL ROCK HERE!
Sometimes I see my portal overgrown with vines, rusted hinges and all that, but then a magic wand is waved when I read your comments and a bright shiny dome shimmers open!!! Yes, I’m letting prosperity in. Each and every time I breath in and out. Every time I see with new eyes, every time I choose to set my tone, when I write in my gratitude journal, all these tools are magic wands for me!!! Thank you all for listening.

Roseann’s comment just triggered a thought in me that I’m now compelled to share. She said that as long as she can find things to be grateful for each day, she is letting prosperty in. And my brain took the words and tumbled them around and rearranged them slightly…soooo….
As long as I am grateful for all things each day, I am letting prosperity in!
For me, the biggest shift this experiment has triggered is gratitude and appreciation. If I focus exclusively on that, I hold the key to my escrow account of all my desires that I have asked for in the past, the present and the future. Thanks to all of you who’ve taken part in this experiment. I am sure that your combined energy is greatly responsible for my aha’s and the expansiveness I am experiencing.
As Mike Dooley says, “Tallyho” to all of us!

I know that I am letting prosperity in because I am beating the drum of what I want which is abundance and the joy of being. When you know with every fibre of your being that you are prosperous then it appears.
I have been steadily moving downstream instead of upstream and see the driftwood which are signs of little things that make me believe that the bigger things are on its way.
There was a time when I felt like nothing was working out for me but then I decided that I would not let my husband or anyone else take my joy away. As soon as I had a negative thought I would pivot and think of something to appreciate and that works really well.
Thank you all for all of your positive thoughts and energy. Abundance and prosperity to everyone.

Just reading this question made me realize that I haven’t been letting prosperity in to the extent that I am able to. I’ve been holding on to limiting beliefs which clearly do not serve me. It was enough for me to instantly shift my vibration and find thoughts that feel better.
I think the answer is both generic and quite personal for each person. You truly are allowing prosperity in when you are receiving the things that you’ve asked for through your vibration. But what that looks like is different for each one of us. While I’m looking to find a way to go to school next semester (housing, childcare, finances), there are plenty of people out there who are looking for something completely different, so my evidence of prosperity is going to look quite different from anyone else’s (like the fact that I was finally able to get through to someone in the advising office by phone yesterday!).
I plan on taking advantage of these last couple of days of our collective manifestational powers to really bring in and allow in all of the prosperity for which I’ve been asking! Thank you so much!

Letting prosperity in is an examination of how well you receive prosperity.
I realized today that a good way to tell how well you are receiving prosperity is to look at how you receive other things.
When you receive a compliment, do you protest, blush coyly and look away, or accept it graciously?
When you receive an offer of help–big or small–is your first instinct to say “No thanks I can do it myself” or to say “thank you I really appreciate it!”
When someone wants to buy you a drink, or dinner, or a gift, do you say things like “No, that’s all right,” or “You shouldn’t have!” or “I can’t let you do that!” or do you smile and say “that’s wonderful, thank you so much!”
I have learned over the course of this experiment to change my attitude not only towards allowing abundance of the specific things I am desiring, but to change my allover attitude towards everything so that I create habits of gracious receiving and a grateful attitude at every opportunity–not just the opportunities I am waiting for.
I hope that this blog and community comments will continue in one form or another after the experiment! It’s been a lovely daily habit to cultivate!

I know I’m letting prosperity in (even though I may not “see” it right away) when I feel non-resistant. That is, letting things flow to me, and not coming from a place of “desperation.”
Over the course of this prosperity experiment, I’ve begun to make these shifts in emotions and thought. I “came across” the experiment when my husband was mandated to take a week-long furlough from his job and shortly thereafter, he was placed on “suspension” for two weeks. Definitely, NOT feeling prosperous at that time. But, as I began doing this experiment, I consciously decided to re-focus my fears and anxieties (a difficult process for me) and direct my energies on developing a more “positive” vibration. There have been “small” signs of abundance and prosperity that I would have missed (or rather dismissed) in the past. But now, I’m more aware of them, and I intend to continue to keep myself “open” to prosperity.

When I see the time reaching 11:11, I stop what ever I am doing and repeatedly say “thank you” with an open heart of joy and emotion until the clock reaches 11:12. It is my special number (and the date of my wedding anniversary).
I have been reading my journals written at the start of this experiment, and they help me summon up the energy and enthusiasm with the blessings of simple things in my life I need to jumpstart my visualizations.
Actual dollar amounts in the amount that I really need right now are elusive, but I am choosing right now to see my abundance in remembering to be still and present, even if something that shakes my world is happening, as it did today. I blessed the person, the situation, and it’s potential to be a positive lesson. And I will surrender and trust that what is happening is also going to be for the best.

I completely agree with Sabine and I think it was prosperous for all of us that her comment was the first one posted. I also think that receiving isn’t just the final object or result of what we’ve asked for but it’s the entire process. It goes along with the saying that “life is a journey, not a destination.” And you know you’re receiving by the feeling you have of complete joy, peace, and love that comes with it. I’ve had a rough few weeks and I remember thinking that this is odd since I’m doing this “experiement” but sometimes you have to clear out the old to make room for the new and I think that’s what’s been going on (as a result of this and other clearing things I’ve been doing at the same time). Today I woke up for the first time in awhile knowing I’m receiving and so just from that I know the “experiment” was a “success!”

I feel prosperous and abundant when I notice all the love around me. When I am appreciating and being grateful for all that I have. When I am noticing the wealth, both material and spiritual, around me instead of noticing the lack of more. When I’m allowing prosperity in, I’m sparkly, giggly, happy, and enthusiastic. I feel an urge to give to others. Sometimes I even get overwhelmed by the sweetness of it all.

Until I read Maury’s comment, I didn’t realize I wasn’t writing on the blog I’ll have to check it out. Also, I could smell the lavendar as I read your comment. It’s a delicious scent.
I’m enjoying all your comments. They’re so from the heart and they show me that there’s no one “right” way to process these lessons. Needing to do it (anything) the “right” way has kept me from doing quite a few things.
Paula, I really resonated with your comments about feeling prosperous when you let go of the fear of lack. Ironic that the fear of lack begets more lack. That’s the way it’s been for me, anyway.
I’ve been feeling so relaxed and expectant. That’s how I know I’m letting prosperity in.

What fantastic contributions we have here. I am so honored to read everyone’s posts. I feel a connection with each and every word you all wrote.
” How do you know when you are letting prosperity in?”
I so agree with Jennifer; “as long as I am grateful for all things each day, I am letting prosperity in!”
I feel prosperous and abundant when…
* I look around my beautiful house that my tenants help me pay for
* I go to work to my long time career where I earn a great paychq
* I log on to my computer; not everyone has one, not everyone has high speed internet- we are so fortunate to live where we live and have what we have (see http://www.gizmag.com/go/6571)
* I get into my nice car every day and take myself wherever I need to go.
* I have numerous things to wear and can choose what I want to put on. I even have the ability to donate and share my clothes with others who need them.
* I have a full fridge and freezer with many food options at any time.
* I know my income is continuous; that there will always be more and I can always create more income in so many ways.
Thank you for this experiment; I feel so grateful for it and for recognizing the abundance in my life.

I feel like I am letting prosperity in. I am now starting to see more and more evidence of prosperity flowing into my life. Today, I received a credit from my bank for being wrongfully charged on my accounts. The credit exceeded the amount that I had originally requested.

I truly feel that as long as I am joyful, loving and flowing then prosperity is around me and comes to me without me even thinking about it. It’s about the love in your heart and the joyous way we interact with others and the letting go of those sticky beliefs that sometimes just hang on. It’s been a wonderful experience to blog with all of you and I am grateful for your presence and support and insights. May you all be blessed with abundance and prosperity.

I agree with Mika ad Sabina, we are letting prosperity in if we flow will all that life has to offer.
The obvious stuff, the material stuff, gives me a smile on my face and gives joy.
But it is the other stuff, no matter what it is, that gives me a real feeling of being alive and an aware participant in my life. If I can handle the disappointments, the challenges – by putting good energy behind it, that’s when i feel the flow the most.
I have this little ‘motto’ : I am free to experience JOY in every moment…no matter what is happening in my life!
And feeling joy, to me, is prosperity!

I am so grateful for the wisdom shared in this blog. It has been an ongoing blessing to me to know I was not alone in the illusions I created.
My well being is demonstrated in my calm knowing that I AM demonstrating prosperity with peace at heart. I know as: I chose to have a moment, then an hour, then a day with: no agonizing, no mental debates about deserving, no doubts of my worthiness; no anxiety about blocking the flow to receive my own abundance; no issues about the size of the pie for others being limited by my sharing in it.
Simple gratitude has been one of the creative method to change my point of view, and it has been an enormous blessing to experience the manifestations of my abundance… in each succeeding here and now. I AM aware that the flow of my abundance has multiplied by percentages beyond my understanding – I AM now a more multidimensional being and thrilled with the anchoring understandings that allow me be here/now more abundantly.
Thanks Elyse for helping us each through the back flips of understanding into the beginning of a new more calm comprehension of our potential. I feel like singing “Hosanna” at the top of my voice and experiencing that cell stirring celebration that makes my light body brighten up. Yahooooooo!

I feel happier to just see what happens; I feel a message in my body to let go. Of course, I also feel a ‘backlash’ of fear and negativity. But at least I’ve spotted it! I can shift to being curious how things will manifest, rather than fearful how to work everything out. I feel OK that I am making babysteps. Trusting the Universe will surprise me with a big smile and abundance.

I know I am letting “IT” in when I am lying in the middle of the flowing river and I say “Universe, does this qualify as being ‘in the stream?’” and i hear a resounding YES. although somtimes i hear a sarcastic’ it will do’ but it all feels GOOD.
