Here’s my list of ten things you can do to magically increase your wealth and abundance. They are easy, fun, and free, and take less than a minute each!

1. Go outside, look up at the sky and imagine gold coins falling from the sky and landing all over your yard, your house, your stoop, and you. Take a deep breath, keep your face to the sky, smile huge, and spread out your arms to catch the gold.

2. Go to your front door. Open the door and as the fresh air comes in, say, “I invite the spirit and energy of joyful abundance into this home.” Imagine it pouring in through the open door like a flood. This can take just a few seconds (especially if it’s 20 degrees outside, lol) and it’s a really nice (and powerful!) way to start the day every morning.

3. Stand in your front doorway looking towards the back of the house. Now walk to the very back, left-hand corner of your house. It doesn’t matter what room you’re in, just look at that corner and see what’s there. Now remove one thing from that corner that feels “poor” to you. If something is ripped or broken or dirty or cheap, take it out of that corner. Get rid of it. If there is nothing there, then sweep it fresh and clean. Then, add one thing to that corner that feels “rich” to you. It can be small or large — a crystal, a vase, a flower, a photograph. As you do it, focus on the object and the feeling of being in a gorgeous home. Say, “I release my past and live in wealth and prosperity now.” (If you don’t want to put an object there, just bless the corner and make it beautiful in your imagination — it works just as well!)

4. Go tear off a small piece of scratch paper and write on it, “I am rich!” Put it in your pocket and carry it around for the rest of the day.

5. Right this very moment: Look around the room you are in. Choose one item that is visible to you that you are glad is yours. It could be your table, a sink faucet, your oven, your washing machine, your computer: Anything at all. Now, close your eyes (briefly) and imagine not owning this thing. Think about how many people on this planet do not own this thing, or anything like it. Now open your eyes, see this thing that you have, and feel how extremely lucky you are. Bask in that feeling for a few seconds, and then let it go.

6. Find your wallet. Take out all of the paper money and organize it. Smooth each bill out, un-creasing the corners and making it look nice and neat. Then stack the bills with the largest at the back and the smallest at the front. Make them all face the same way (with heads facing you). Before you return them to your wallet, make sure your billfold is clean and empty. Put your newly organized money back into the nice clean billfold and say, “I respect and take care of my money.” (Money loves to flow to people who are good stewards of it.)

7. Set a timer for exactly one minute and be sure that you will be undisturbed for that time. (A locked bathroom works nicely for this ). Close your eyes and breathe in and out very deeply. With every inbreath, say to yourself, “I joyfully receive magical blessings of wealth and abundance.” With every out-breath say to yourself, “I easily release all blocks to wealth and abundance.” That’s it!

8. If you have a backyard, look out into it and use your imagination to plant a giant “money-magnet”. Money magnets are unique for every person, so everyone’s will be a little different. What does yours look like? How big is it? What shape is it? What color? Is it buried in the ground, or floating in the air (or something in-between)? Does it sparkle and glow? Does it have a temperature? A texture? Does it make a sound? Whatever form it takes, use your imagination to watch as suddenly, from absolutely every direction, money and wealth is just flowing to you like mad, attracted by the power and strength of your giant money-magnet. (Those without yards can plant one right in, under, or over their homes, of course. I recommend the back left-hand corner of the house.)

9. When you are in bed tonight, just as you are ready to drift into sleep, ask to connect with your Fairy Godmother. Get an image of her visually, and a sense of her voice and her temperament. Is she soft and gentle and kind? Strong and fierce? Or maybe she’s a big goof-ball, laughing and having fun? Is she big like a life-sized person, or tiny like a fairy? Whoever she is, ask her to bless you while you sleep. Make a wish. Fall asleep knowing that magic and miracles are real. When you wake up, notice what your thoughts and feelings are, or if you had any dreams. If you have received any messages or guidance, follow it. Also, remember to say thank you.

10. Give something away. It doesn’t matter how small. Give a flower, a charm, a dollar, a cookie. Give anything! As you do it, say to yourself: “I ask that this gift be returned to me, with joy, times one hundred.” As you say it, feel the thrill that runs through you.

And so it is. Magic! Yay!

Now back to business: I’m going to be crazy-busy and mostly away from my computer for the next two weeks. Rather than be stressed or sad about it, I’ve decided to gift six Elves over the next two weeks (three today and three next Tuesday) to help pick up my slack. I can’t wait to see what you all do!

The three Elf winners for this week are…

Willow and…

Serendipity and…

Tawny Rajah (our newest Elf!)

Hooray! Congrats! Enjoy! And remember, if you have any questions about how to write a post, check out the new Elf FAQ.
