Prosperity Shifts

Selected Testimonials from the Participants in the 2009 "Play Your Way to Prosperity" Experiment

 


Miracles

When I began the experiment, my job was being severed by Dec. 1, 2009. Despite the 'reality' that my job was coming to an end and all roads pointed to unemployment, I keep thinking that everything is working out perfectly- as its meant to be! A job posting became available within the same company and I applied, interviewed and got the position! The experiment kept me focused and I played my way into a new position! Everything I had wanted for the past three yrs. I began to go with the flow and began being receptive to all the good and abundance in the Universe.

I am having by best month in sales for the year. I do believe that my attitude towards prosperity and success is critical in it happening. I know that a negative attitude can push things away and I know that having a positive attitude on things happening make me open to it. I've played the game for 2 1/2 years now and I've seen dramatic changes in my life financially. I've achieved goals that I set and have gotten so many things on my "wish" list just because I believed I could.

"After two months of bureaucratic madness, I was convinced I wouldn't be able to finish school, I was heartbroken and stressed out. I was on the phone with a rep from my loan provider, and she informed me I was approved for a different type of loan, and it wasn't even listed! I was able to get $2000 to pay an overdue tuition balance! I nearly cried I was so grateful! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart."
A great experiment! I received three outstanding amounts of money unbelievable sources during the experiment. I express gratitude for all the time effort and sharing that was presented during this special time.

Since I started this experiment I have gotten a raise at work. I knew I was getting one, but it turned out to be more than I was supposed to originally get. My boss was not sure why, just that I got a bigger raise than everyone else in the company.

5 minutes after completing day 1 assignments, I received a job offer (after months of having no options). Day 3 came another job offer from someone who approached me (I did not apply for the job). I am moving from Mexico to the US and suddenly since starting the game I have sold enough furniture at the price I was asking, to pay for the move. Unexpected money has come in. Money I have been expecting for months came in. Love this game! Thank you Universe!

This is about the third time I’ve played The Prosperity Game. I have tons of evidence all around me. The first time I manifested a pool with a Jacuzzi and a waterfall, a huge mare motel for my horses, unexpected checks in the mail, and more. The second time I manifested a new deck at my cabin, a new roof there, a new patio roof on my house and a cabover camper and more. This time prosperity began immediately in ways I’d never have imagined. With mercury in retrograde and schedules messing up, my massage therapist totally spaced me out and sent me an apology text telling me he owes me a free massage. That’s money I won’t have to spend. Then, an insurance company agreed they double billed me and to ignore the invoice. That’s more money I won’t have to spend. Next, a client of mine requested a double session – that’s double payment to me. Then I received 3 brand new unexpected, unsolicited referrals for new business!

My greatest fear has always been financial insecurity. It is accompanied by fear. I have noticed that the fear is almost gone.

I only truly participated in the first half of the project...I was so busy with the prosperity that flowed from the first half, that I did not complete the full game! Hmmmm...I'm imagining how much more abundant my time would have been if I would have played in the second half too. :o)

I am happy to report that I made a $1,000 in unexpected commission on Friday, and it’s from a client that I knew was going to another firm. Somehow they get charged a fee to terminate their trust account. Who knew? That really made my day!

A friend of mine forgave my $500 debt to him out of the blue. I was blown away by his generosity.

Things were slow at work and during this experiment I have increased the number of referrals for last month. I also received a call from my car insurance, asking me to switch to a better plan which will save me $600 per year. Good stuff!

I have a good momentum going. I'm in sales and have had my best month in my career in Sept! I love it.
I love it so much I signed up for this Sunday's trial. I want to keep it flowing. Much appreciation!

From a monetary perspective, while large amounts of money did not come into my life, there were almost daily occurrences involving smaller items - coupons for money off almost everything I decided to purchase online, winning lottery tickets for $2 and a free ticket, I was constantly finding change and dollar bills around the house, purchases were resulting in monetary gifts or discounts. Service people have been helping me out at little to no charge. Actually, I just take that statement about large amounts of money back. My husband and I just received our latest 401(k) statements and our retirement accounts increased by 10's of thousands of dollars. His went up $50,000 and I'm not sure the exact amount of mine but it is probably close. So - that's pretty huge!

I'm working from a whole other place. Deep down in my core, I feel the truth that my life is getting better and better in every possible way. I am excited about the changes that are taking place in my life when I would have focused on uncertainty as a harbinger of doom and gloom in the past. I've really changed how I feel my way through things and I'm seeing the results already -- and it's good!

The (and I'm paraphrasing) ...idea that money is merely another Divine Energy... shifted a huge block in my mind. It shifted my thinking around 'wanting' - around allowing myself to want. How can I expect to get, if I don't believe I am allowed to want. So this was huge for me.

I have spent time allowing the energy to flow from me and to me. This has been powerful in the way that I choose not to worry and instead focus on what I wanted to attract to my life. I received a job offer, and have increased my clients. This experiment came at the right time in my life. Thank you very much! Peace, and gratitude,

My business almost closed due to lack of retail space. In four weeks we found the perfect spot and solved our trucking logistics. Thank you for the daily emails.

Sold house for a considerable profit without even advertising it.

Okay - so I've just this second gotten off the phone with my Dad who called to say he and Mom were sending my birthday present early. A check. I had sent my letter to the Universe just moments ago and received this call immediately. If that’s not evidence, I don't know what is.

I won $20 on a lottery ticket (this NEVER happens!)

This past weekend I had gone to the Universal Light Expo. I manifested pretty much the whole trip being paid for. I came home with more money than I left with. I was able to touch some lives with my healing work. I got some free bodywork done that was definitely needed. I learned some new drumming techniques that took me out of my old comfort zone. I made some new friends and my old friends had so much fun that they said they would like to do more trips where they pay for me and we get to hang out. It was fun all around and I have a positive expectancy around it all over again.

Today I was offered a new free upgraded cell phone!

I have been following the experiment and playing the prosperity game, although not every day. Checked my bank account this morning and received a deposit of 438.00 from the government. I have no idea what this is for and have not yet received the paperwork to tell me. Totally unexpected. And very, very welcome.

In the past week, I have scheduled 12 hours of chair massage for a corporate event, received a referral & scheduled a client for a raindrop treatment, and had a someone pick up a business card in the lobby, call & book an appointment! All completely unexpected!
The Law of Attraction works in practical ways. I have been praying for financial blessings and lately I have been seeing the manifestations more and more. Today, while doing some much-needed de-cluttering of my business and personal papers, I came across a unopened check for $250.00 that had been sent to me in JULY!! Needless to say, I attribute this blessing (along with two meetings scheduled with potential clients) to this collective prosperity experiment and playing the prosperity game.

Yesterday I received a package in the mail from an acquaintance I hadn’t seen in over a year–she had borrowed a book from me, and since we don’t see each other that often I had sort of written it off. But she returned my book along with a sweet note apologizing for holding on to it for so long, and also gave me the gift of a new book by an author I love! Awesome!

Whenever I played the game it always gave me a lifted sense of feeling. I am still playing. And after I finish playing I always come away feeling good will come. I also received unexpected cash that made me realize I had brought it to me. I was feeling low before that and all I knew in order to help myself was to go out and help somebody else. I volunteered my time to others and then came the money...so unexpected.

About a month ago I was walking with my husband in our neighborhood and I saw a bike locked to a fence. It was black and had some stars painted on it and said “Starlight”. I pointed at it and shouted, “I want a Starlight bike!” (Yes, I can be quite childish when I get excited about something). I had been looking for a bike in my price range at all the local bike shops (new and used) and on craigslist, with no luck. Then yesterday for “no reason” I decided to check craigslist again and there was an ad for a Starlight Cruiser bicycle! I e-mailed the guy, he e-mailed me back, and it turned out he is my downstairs neighbor (!), the bike I pointed at is the exact one he was selling (!!), and I got to take it for a test ride that very night, and got a good deal on it! As a bonus, my husband and I got to make the acquaintance of someone in our apartment building, which is always nice but sometimes hard to come by in Brooklyn. So I guess the Universe heard me when I shouted! Must’ve launched a mighty fine rocket!

A company that has owed me $221.00 for the past 6 months finally called to say that they are finally processing my return. It should be here any day now!

I applied for a job, and the metaphor I used in my cover letter, was a bit of a risk, with a sci fi element, (Comparing my skills to Start Trek stuff)..but…somehow the vibe felt right so I just went for it. well…I got an email back ( an automated message) ALSO with a joke about something sci fi….This FLOORED me. This felt like something,….a connection…to something…right kind of small step forward, so I am going to acknowledge this as evidence.

Last night my husband, his friend, and I went to a concert. When we arrived it was sold out, so we went to dinner. The guys gave up hope, but I said, “Wait! We all just need to decide that we’re going to get in, and then let it go, and it will happen!” They were skeptical. After dinner they walked back over to the venue, and caught the drummer as he was walking in. Since one of the guys knows him, they got into the show on the spot!

Last night a neighbor knocked on our door asking for help with moving a piece of furniture from her car to her house. She ended up gifting me with a brand new comforter and a beautiful framed painting. I had been thinking about a new comforter for weeks but thought I would not spend the money for it right now. And yesterday, I walked in our guest bedroom noticing that I needed to hang something above the desk and thought I would hunt through some old things and come up with something. The bedspread she gave me matched the color of our bedroom walls (not an ordinary color). And the painting was the perfect match for the guest room decor. Amazing!"

It does work. In my prosperity game I had asked for money to take seminars. Low and behold instead of money for seminars, I was gifted with a four hundred dollar seminar. This same person also gifted me with money for gas to and from and for tolls.


Prosperity Shifts

I have had some very useful and joyful insights. I feel I am more open to the signs and messages that that the universe sends for guidance to prosperity and I more joyful way to live. I feel a bit more empowered. I followed a hunch or insight that I would not have normally and it is right out of left field for me and I have let go of the outcome and I am waiting to see how it turns out. I feel more confident to start a home-based business doing something I enjoy and although I have put it off for years I have started taking concrete steps to put that into action. I feel much more confident and empowered about my future.

It makes me want to carry on another 30 days - doing more of my dream board, write more gratitudes on my journal, read the inspirational messages etc I have been getting more support in my workplace--a big prayer of mine previous to the experiment and the support has been immense--the middle room of our health food shop has been de-cluttered and now is being renovated for Christmas so we can use it to sell Xmas stock which will boost our sales. I am having more creative ideas about what to do and enjoying this. Thank you so much

I’m so glad that the universe put this in my path... I have experience MUCH prosperity from all this. I have learned more in this month about LOA than ever before! Here's to prosperity for all of us!

While I had known about the Law of Attraction and even played the Prosperity Game a few times back in 2007, this experiment really got me to delve deeper in my knowledge and practice of LOA. There were some ah-ha moments that I did not expect. I also shared with a friend that I really did not KNOW the LOA because essentially up until this experiment, I was NOT living it!

I have started previous 30 day challenges over the years but never managed to stay connected. I decided at the beginning to see this one through. As a result of this challenge, I finally get, from an emotional place, the significance of appreciation and gratitude. The idea of expressing appreciation for something as if it has already happened hit me in a new way. I can't really say why or how the shift occurred. It just did. As a result, I have total confidence and a relaxation around manifesting now. I know that, being on the leading edge, this is just one step that will lead to the next. But it feels so darn good to have successfully leapt to this rock in the stream without falling into the water! I also made a shift in playing the prosperity game. I've started and stopped many times. But I seem to have broken through some glass ceiling this time and I really find it enjoyable. I also find I'm more relaxed around my desires. As Abraham says, "great things are in store for you". I love the joy that has come from this shift...and I owe it to the group, Elyse for offering the challenge, and to the universe for the abundance.

I have experienced increased evidence of my wealth and financial abundance daily. Whether it's an offer for a days work or two, a price break on new tires, someone buying dinner for me unexpectedly--lots of things like this. I see this as proof that my vibration is shifting. Every day I have fun with the cars/butterflies experiment by choosing something different each day to "see." it's such a fun game and I see the actual thing or a metaphoric rep, or hear the exact word of the object I'm intending to see. Looking forward to keeping this going. Oh and I'm less concerned about my spouse's financial worries, whether or not the money comes the way I think it should or when. really just relaxed about those things knowing I'm supported and allowing.

This experiment helped me to stay focused in ways that I have not focused on prosperity before. This is the first time that I wrote a definition for prosperity that resonates with me. As a result of participating in Play Your Way to Prosperity I will practice a prosperity habit every day, forever.

I saw tangible results of doing things a bit differently, for the better!

The experiment affected me by helping me to see that prosperity comes in many forms. As I work on applying techniques the prosperity comes to those around me and I need to claim it because of the process. If I am not happy for their prosperity I will bottleneck my own.

It took me to a deeper level of knowing and attunement of the ideas I have been exploring for half my life. I got to a place where I had an aha moment about how I want to create income streams and I am honoring this realization about myself no matter how "against the grain" and out of alignment with the race mind it is:)

Huge shifts have occurred in terms of forms of prosperity. Family and friends, some whom I haven't seen in many years, are flooding back into my life with messages of kindness and happiness and desires to reconnect. This has been a time when I have visited all of my doctors, dentists, etc - and I have had excellent bills of health from almost all. I am sleeping better. Life in general has become easier and more free flowing. I had a 75th birthday party for my father last weekend and the planning and execution could not have been more effortless and perfect and the party itself was a joy.

I didn't get into the experiment with the same passion I had last year. Felt a little guilty about that. When I did participate I can say I did feel more relief and joy. When I was having a bad day I tended to avoid playing. I think it just reinforced what I know internally about shifting prosperity. You have to participate and have discipline to max the benefits.

I appreciate the contact with so many like-minded people and will miss the opportunity to hear how they are doing--but wish all of them to have the experiences that convince them without a doubt that this way of thinking/way of life really makes things happen in the right way.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing this service every year. The universe graces you more each time for the sharing!
I did journal my thoughts, feelings and changes in thinking. I choose not to blog. The experiment did help to shift my thoughts and emotions about prosperity. I appreciated the opportunity to participate.

I found myself relaxing about the whole prosperity thing. It was play, not work.

I truly feel uplifted by this experiment, and find that it really helps to be part of the community.

I haven't finished the experiment yet, I'm only on day 20 but I have had a lot things show up...parking spaces, opportunities, amazing ideas, different reactions from people, lots of things that indicate a much more prosperous life in all aspects of life is appearing.

I was intending to manifest $5,000 during the experiment. Last week I happened to notice that the credit limit on my credit card was increased from $1500 to $5500 without my request, or even a notification from the credit card company that it had been increased. I called to inquire about it and was told it was very unusual for that to happen and just show up on my account the way it did. I then connected it with my intention to manifest $5k - which I did - sort of. So I now have more than $5k available to me in credit which I did not have before the experiment! I am working on refining and tweaking my manifesting mindset so that next time it shows up as cash free and clear, instead of just credit!

Making playing the prosperity game part of my "work" made me actually go and DO the work of "playing" with prosperity.

I have been allowing things to find me, rather than my seeking them. What I need always comes in at the right time, enough to do what needs be done each day, and enough to share even in small amounts. It seems like being at the edge of the next huge shift, and enough for what I need. Something is gathering, feel the built up, getting ready for the avalanche of abundance as it builds like a snowball builds momentum. Yes it is all good

I feel good. I feel prosperous. I have less money than I had at the beginning of this experiment, but the feeling I have about that has shifted. And I have decided to begin my healing practice, which was a big deal. I have a dream to work fewer hours per week so that I can have time to develop writing and singing, and I await the opportunity for that to happen with openness and a lightness of spirit that I did not have before. I the activity of playing the game was the most fun, and served to raise my vibration surrounding money. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this program!

I feel that I worry less, I feel more positive about being positive. It really gave me insight of how it can be when everyday you focus on what you want and use money from the universe to buy it. I have lined up more dates that ever before, this after being single for almost 2 years. I feel that the wealth is right around the corner. I remember more to look for butterflies and signs of appreciation, and it works.

I realize how important it is to try to remain positive and always find some good out of what ever comes your way. This group, though I did not post every day helped me through so very much and I am so grateful to you Elyse and all! I LOVE YOU!

It has kept me open to the possibilities and reminded me to keep focused.

I have found this process very helpful to flush out blocking beliefs and perspectives and make changes. I have used TAT to clear what has come up which has been a good adjunct. I started the game late so I will continue with it until I am finished. I have found I have been able to attract more of what I desire and am seeing a direct correlation and getting more of a sense of how I have to visualize and create specifics and how doing so every day is very helpful. Thank you for this opportunity.

This was a lot of fun and I really looked forward to sitting down every night to play the game, spend my check and tune in to my acceptance or resistance. It was amazing to see how fast I could accomplish the things that caused me so much hassle and worry in the past. Thanks!

I have become very calm about things that I used to really stress over. I also am beginning to really enjoy the day while it's happening.

The experiment has made me realize how important it is to stay focused. To dig deep to confront my subconscious thoughts and to really identify and face up to the limiting beliefs that I need to work on. I now really understand that prosperity from the inside-out is a process which needs daily and consistent effort.

Yes, I experienced a significant shift in my thinking about prosperity. Appreciating all that I have in my life right now (and not just the physical things) while maintaining a vision and the associated feelings of all things that I desire is how I choose prosperity from this point forward.

I have become more aware of the wonderful events, people and things that are part of my daily life. I have become much more appreciative of where I am at this moment, and at the same time am excited about the great things yet to come.

Practice, practice, practice...that is my final conclusion. LOA is working all the time so why not affect the outcome more with my focused thoughts? It works when I do it and I notice it isn't a habit yet. I am excited to realize I have a proven method for achieving more of what I want and it is a habit I can develop. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

I started the prosperity game 7 days ago. The results so far have been amazing. I'm become so aware of socially imposed beliefs that work against the freedom for individual prosperity. The barrier of Guilt, feelings of selfishness and unworthiness, and wanting has dissolved. I was not aware of these blocks, but became suddenly clear as I listened to Elyse's direction and followed them completely, allowing me to ignore the voices. I actually saw the barrier dissolve. That was a major step towards my prosperity. Now I feel excitement and happy anticipation opening my heart to all that IS possible.

I loved this experiment. I'm quite good at shifting my mind in the right direction, but this had me focusing in a very specific way, and a lot has opened up for me in regards to finances. I still have more to go, but I'm inspired to keep going. I have a renewed faith in my ability to co-create abundance in my life and I'm more prepared to allow my prosperity to come through me, not just to me. Thank you so much. I hope there's another one really soon, I loved it.

EVERY TIME I played, thought, imagined or expressed anything about the prosperity game, my energy shifted and abundance in one form or another came to me. The trick for me is to keep consistent. Thank you for all you do!
I have had great things happening in my life. Although I haven't played as often as I thought I would I will increase my play. The biggest thing I have learn is that I what I really want is more quality time doing things with friends & family not to buy things. I found that there was a shift in what I was doing with the money & my consciousness. I went from buying things to buying dinners, trips & experiences with people.

I could feel the change in 'frequency', the shift in environment, and the open possibilities of many more things.

I have more hope and enthusiasm, even when I wake up in the morning, than before the experiment.

Simple gratitude has been one of the best creative methods 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

From there on the game just got better and better for me as my understanding of the whole

I definitely feel a shift in the way I feel...it can be a little unsettling but I'm appreciating that as a positive sign that I'm releasing those things that are no longer a match to my uplifted vibration!
Miracles definitely occurred as a result of playing the game. Participating with full intent to see results was key for me.

I appreciate the self-knowledge I have gained through the prosperity game. I know it is just the beginning, but I am now on the path and there is no turning back. There is only expansion and joy and love and health and abundance. So mote it be! Ho!

This experiment has enlightened me to the inner workings of me. I have found there have been limiting beliefs and have let them go. I have found that when I truly feel the joy in my heart ,prosperity appears to me. Since I feel it is always present it is a matter of letting go and allowing. This has been a beautiful way to access oneself from a different level. Thank you Elyse for all your support and I am so happy to have the opportunity to share with others. May we all be blessed with magnificent prosperity.

This Experiment has caused me to really get just how great others are and that we are all on this journey together.

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS. I AM SO FILLED WITH EMOTION

I had read the website about prosperity and played the game sporadically for about 2 years. The biggest shift I found was turning my thoughts inward. At the beginning, I realize I had just hopeful thinking, but with words of wisdom and reminders from Elyse, I actually started to feel a change by appreciating my daily life and world around me. The world around us, the days, stay pretty much the same, but how we view it makes all the difference. And with this good, the good is multiplied.

Just to have committed to playing the prosperity game every day has brought great gifts and a shift. I am sorry I didn't quite "get" that there were daily inspirational messages and all the additional messages that might have brought about miraculous changes. Still, playing every day gave me first overflowing gratitude, as I always listed 5 things I am grateful for, and then enlarged and empowered vision of prosperity by playing the game. Thank you!

I already knew and had experienced these kinds of shifts before because of my focus. I just needed to be reminded to do the work. It was a great reminder and I enjoyed the prosperity game immensely.

There is so much to say. During the experiment and after the two week trial, I joined as a PPP member. That was a big step for me, normally I wouldn't spend that much on myself thinking I can go it alone. This experiment was different. It was free, but it was powerful and I felt if I joined as a member I would be multiplying that power significantly.

Beyond that, I was grateful so much of the time, My perceptions of who I am and what I can do really did shift. I like to think of myself as fairly "enlightened/evolved" and this experiment helped me discover holes I still need to fill. I think I was able to realize how important community and connection is as well. I had previously thought I was more alone in my practices of abundance, but can see this is a sweeping movement and am very enheartened by that.

I continue to align and re-align myself towards creating prosperity in my life. Last year, numerous miracles appeared in my life as a result of playing the Prosperity Game. I even joined the PPP for 3 months and continuous go back to the toolbox for inspired actions.
Thank you for the opportunity to share in this experiment.

Special thanks to Elyse and her team for setting up this experiment and offering to those interested free of charge...That was an extremely generous gesture... I am also grateful to all the men and women who took part in the September experiment. I wouldn't be where I am without them. Because of Elyse and her team, the participants and the bloggers I have evolved into a living prayer..which with time will get more and more vibrant....

I have felt tremendous shift in energy my depression lifted.

During this experiment I did experience many shifts in my thinking. Last night I made a chart on my wall organizing my thoughts. I listed my WISH LIST, my ideas for sources of new income, some TO DO's and other important info. During the experiment I blogged a few times about it, advised friends and family about participating in it. I noticed my thoughts shifting from LACK to POTENTIAL and excitement about possibility. My spouse lost his job on Sept 16 but was offered 2 new jobs since; one he took. His wage dramatically increases from his last job and in a few months WILL match my own executive income which is amazing. Our debt load will be quickly reduced and abolished in the coming months. I really appreciated being part of this experiment. Reading other people's contributions really connected me to the various places where other people were. Appreciate all your hard work Elyse and team =) I'll continue on my Prosperity Game THANK YOU!

It continually reminded me that I am the "chooser". I noticed prosperity in the everyday - in my relationships and some in my finances.

I liked how I learned to honour even the smallest signs of prosperity, good fortune and results. It feels so good to focus on the positive.

I had played last year as well. I have been manifesting for a few years now without real trust. Well a little more than halfway through this time I had a dream vacation to Colorado for 8 days....everything was awesome...it was an experiment in trust for me...now to keep on trusting the universe to provide beyond my wildest dreams!!!

I went from feeling tense and anxious to feeling more relaxed and expectant. There were many "ah ha" moments along the way. Though I did not engage as consistently as I had pledged to myself and fully expected to do, even that provided lessons of self-awareness as to how participate in the co-creation of my abundance; how I get in my own way. When I did begin participating more consistently, I really felt big shifts. I believe this Experiment has taken me across a bridge. I will keep moving into my abundant life with purpose. The Universe has my cooperation.

The biggest shift came yesterday when I read someone's blog post and learned that my state of giddy excitement signifies that I'm ready to receive!

When I just relax and do the next right thing, so much good happens.

Lots shifted in my world this past month in terms of how things are showing up in my world (ideal clients, payments, etc). The greatest internal shift occurred with the progressive affirmations. I was surprised at the resistance that popped up over the smaller affirmations but was able to raise my vibration to a point where I'm able to say the greatest affirmation without resistance. I'm also able to envision myself participating in the prosperity of others, not just observing it. I can think of higher dollar amounts without feeling the discomfort I once felt. Great things, right? ;) Thank you, Elyse!
