Wayfair, every style, every home. Hello everyone, thank you so much for joining me again on another episode. How are we all? I've still got a bit of a sore throat after last week, so apologies again if I'm a little croakier than usual. And I'm also recording this podcast a lot earlier than usual because this Friday when the podcast actually comes out, I'll actually be in London with my partner. So it was his 30th birthday in May 2020, but everything I had planned for him got cancelled because of the pandemic, and we wanted to make sure that there were no restrictions when we came to rebooking things. So that we could actually enjoy ourselves properly. So yeah, I've got a bit of a busy weekend full of touristy type things, and we're off to see The Lion King, we're going for a River City Cruise with a 3-course meal on the boat, we're going on the London Eye, you know, typical touristy things. We're having a meal up the Shard, loads of other stuff. But to be honest, it's come at the right time. I feel like I could just do with a nice long weekend away, especially after that horrific Halloween weekend away at Alton Towers. And then when we get home, I'm going to try and work on getting him to allow me to put the bloody Christmas tree up. It's going to be like Blackpool illuminations, you can just imagine it now. But anyway, let's get cracking. So this week I've had a lot of messages from people asking about manifesting and energy work, so it fits in perfectly with what I had planned for this week's episode. And one girl specifically had messaged me saying that she tried to manifest for a few months and hadn't been able to manifest even as much as a feather, and that at most times the exact opposite of what she was trying to attempt to manifest came true. So I thought, "Okay, let's do some exercises together as a group listening to this where we can all go away after this episode and manifest something, and then by next week's episode we would all have no doubt in our minds that the Law of Attraction and manifesting is as real as it can be." I think by having those limiting beliefs really holding you back when attempting to manifest anything in your life, you have to really let go and have faith and open-mindedness that things can change with just the power of your thought. It is hard at first though, like I won't lie. We've all been conditioned over the years to think that we have to work towards things for days and months or years just to make them happen. When in actual fact all it takes is positive energy and attention. So if you've already read the likes of The Secret, for example, you already know that your thoughts create things and that your thoughts alone pave your destiny and shape your life. But there's still a tiny little hiccup in that you don't 100% believe it. We think that we're affirming our intentions daily and creating new experiences constantly, When in actual fact, we're still living our lives just as our ancestors did, conditioned to the world as it is today, mainly because of that lack of faith. We've spent our entire lives only seeing things in the physical world that we believe in. But what about everything that's invisible? What about all the things that we can't see? We know that the universe is made up of energy, like I've spoke about in past episodes, and that all your thoughts are vibrational energy. And it's this energy that interacts and influences the universe. So when these vibrations meet other vibrations, they end up crisscrossing, and once enough energy is together in one place, it'll clump into matter. Okay, so I spoke about this a couple of episodes ago when I was talking about Einstein, and Einstein once said, "Matter is formed from energy." So using this analogy, if you think about something enough, the universe must create it. Okay, that's a universal law. So what most people do is they see the Law of Attraction at work in action, and they pass it off as coincidence, or, "Ooh, that's spooky," and then they get on with the rest of the day. But most of the coincidences that you'll see and experience in your life will be the Law of Attraction at work. You're just not wanting to see it and not wanting to believe it because we've been conditioned otherwise. So our brain is an amazing part of our body, obviously, but it tends to distort reality, and it has done since you were a child. So if you think about it, the brain receives over 400 billion bits of information every single second. So take that in for a moment, like 400 billion bits of information every second. And to put that into context, it would take 600,000 average-sized books just to print out 400 billion full stops. So when you think about that, that's a hell of a lot of reality. 400 billion bits of info from reality every second. So what does the brain do? It filters out all of the crap. It's like, "I'll take that bit of info from here. This will fit nicely over here with my relationships. This over here, I can use this info to make money." But once it's all filtered, the brain leaves us with around just 2,000 bits of information per second. And I mean, that's still pretty impressive, isn't it? But that's 2,000 bits of information per second that we actually process through our senses. So what we actually process and take in is just half of one millionth of a percentage of all that our brain physically processes. I find that actually fascinating. So get a pen and some paper, for example, and make a dot with your pen point. Now see how many of them you can do within one second. So I can roughly do 5 to 6 of these every second. So assuming every dot is a piece of information, to make as many dots on that paper as your brain does in 1 second, it would take you just over 7 minutes. If I was making a dot for every bit of that 400 billion bits of info, I would be on 821 years just for 1 second of what the brain processes. Now you can't tell me as human beings that our brains aren't capable of much more than what we have them do here on Earth on a day-to-day basis. Our brains continually sift out all the crap of our day-to-day lives, and they pick which bits of info that we receive and which we believe, and that is our reality. There's so much more to the world than just our reality though. We always give so much of our attention to the things that we lack. I'd say 99% of our day-to-day lives are thoughts on things that we don't want, because that's just our default setting and what we define as normal. Let's take trying to manifest money for example. We all agree that we don't want to be broke and have no money, so we all devote our thoughts to avoiding it. We work longer hours, we'll sell things that we no longer need, we'll get a part-time job, we'll look for other ways to make more money. We spend all of our time researching and reading books and the internet on how to get rich. Fully ignoring the fact that by trying to get rich, we're telling our minds that we're not already rich. We're in this state of mind of, "I must get rich. I need to get rich." So how do we get around this? In this example, we need to start and believe that we're already rich, and this is where gratitude comes into play. Being thankful for what we already have and feeling rich and abundant in this aspect. And I must sound like a broken record because I say this in every week, but it's exactly how you manifest. I've done it myself on numerous occasions, and it is weird, but it does work. I've seen friends on Facebook and the likes doing things for charity, like running the Great North Run and asking for donations for cancer research. And by giving money and it feeling good to you, and being in that mindset that I can give money and it'll be replaced, within minutes an order will come through on my website and it'll replace that money that I've just given. Another example is that me and my friend Sam went for a dog walk one Sunday in the summer, and I decided to stop off at a little pub called the Red Kite. If you're from Gateshead or Newcastle, go check them out. It's just on the Derwent Walk. It's absolutely beautiful. One of the best Sunday dinners I've ever had. And anyway, when the bill came, I thought, okay, I'm going to do something really, really nice here, and I'm going to foot the bill. And Sam couldn't believe that I'd paid for it for a start, but then seeing how happy that it made her in turn made me happy seeing my friend smile. It really lifted both of our moods, and I felt grateful and happy that I could do that for a friend. No sooner had I got home, an order came through on my website, literally to the pound of how much the bill was. It was almost as if the universe had said, "You've taken care of her, so I'm going to take care of you," and it was such a nice feeling. So you can try this whenever you get a bill, or whenever you're paying for food, whenever you're having a meal. Think rich, okay? Don't think lack. Think of all the things that your money has paid for in this meal. In that case, someone had cooked us both a Sunday lunch. People had then served it to us with our drinks. They took away our plates and cleaned them. They cleaned our table after we left. They provided us with chat and the service. So I was happy to have paid for that service, and because I felt good about it, that money was then returned to me. And even as I record this, I've just gone to order a Chinese a couple of minutes ago, and Uber Eats have given me a £10 off voucher. Please don't tell my PT. It's Sunday night. I've had a busy week. Your girl deserves a treat. But the great thing about the Law of Attraction as well is that it is totally unbiased. It doesn't care if you're black, white, mixed race, gay, straight, bi, whatever religion you are. It works the same for everyone. And I like to think of the Law of Attraction and manifesting as electricity, and we're an appliance like a hair dryer or a microwave or a kettle. We have to plug ourselves into that electricity to get working. So to get onto that frequency of turning it on, we need to make the intention to set aside any of our past conditioning. We don't have any limiting beliefs when we turn on the plug for a kettle, We don't ask ourselves, "Are we good enough to boil the kettle?" or "Do we deserve the right to boil the kettle?" So why would we ask those questions about manifesting? Get this out of your head. Each of the experiments that we're going to try today is only 48 hours long, so just try and set aside that past conditioning for this length of time. It's not forever, just 2 days out of your 100-year life, and I promise once you see these results, you'll change the way that you look at everything. Now we're going to try two experiments here, like I say, and I want you to let me know what happens. You can DM me as usual @canny_crystals on TikTok or Instagram, but please let me know what happens for you. You also need to open your mind as best you can for the results to work. So don't go into this all like, "I'll give it a shot, but it's a load of shit," because of course you won't see results that way. You're having a negative mindset. Just be positive and open. So, just like you'd look for a set of house keys or car keys, you wouldn't just check the place that they usually are and then give up looking and be like, "Oh well, never mind." You'd have the whole house upside down, just like I do on a daily basis. So, you wouldn't stop searching until you'd find what you were looking for. You would be looking under the couch, you'd be under the bed, you'd be in all of your clothes that you've had on the last few days, and you would not stop until you found what you were looking for. So that's what I want you to do with these experiments. Keep an open mind and keep your consciousness actively looking. So both of these experiments you might have done before. They're famous energy exercises. They're not my own. I have plagiarized them, so I apologize in advance. But they're really good examples of the Law of Attraction at work. So the first is to give the universe an ultimatum. Now, I do this all of the time, okay? I do this for an answer for a query that I might have, or if I just want some guidance, things like that. And this is going to prove to you that the universe, God, the cosmos, whatever you want to call it, is listening to you. Okay, let's go. So in the first, we're going to give the universe a time limit of 48 hours to deliver us something, and we're here to let the universe know that we're sick and tired of playing games. We want a sign and we want it now. We're going to devote the next 48 hours to looking for evidence of this sign and we're going to ask for an unexpected gift. So something that you wouldn't normally receive. This could be a surprise check in the post, could be a message from an old friend or an old family member that you haven't spoken to in a while, could be just someone buying you something, just something that is really unexpected and out of the blue. And I don't want you to specify the gift itself, but I do want you to specify the request and the deadline. So I got my best friend Nikki to do this, and she's a pretty powerful manifestor, like everything she manifests she gets really, really quick, and she hasn't been doing it for that long either. It's so annoying. But she was out for a walk one day and she felt a little lost in herself, and she sat down to meditate. And I remember her saying that she suddenly proclaimed, "Give me a sign right now that things are going to be okay and that I'm okay." And she said she was suddenly startled by a gigantic lorry that went past and blared its horn. It was kind of as though like that was her signal instantly. So for example, I did this exercise and I asked the universe a few weeks ago if I should leave my NHS job for my full-time job in my kind of crystals business. And I said that I wanted to know the answer within the next 40 days.

And the very next day, I drove past one of those electronic billboards in town and it changed right before my eyes, and the first 3 words were "Not just yet." I truly believe that that message was for me. Now, results with this experiment will vary. Some people might just get something really simple, like some good news in the post. Some people might get a lottery win. But make a note of how you feel at the time of asking, like are you filled with doubt, or hope, or excitement? Maybe you don't feel like you deserve a gift. But you need to get those feelings like that out of your head. If you do feel like this, maybe ask the universe to send you something that you need instead. This will then eliminate any thoughts of self-doubt because we all need something in our lives. All you need to do is put any doubting thoughts aside for those 2 days. Like I say, it's not a long time at all, and expect to receive it with all your heart and get asking. So for me, I I would simply ask aloud something along the lines of, "Okay, Universe, I want you to send me a sign, and I want to receive an unexpected gift so that I know that this is real. Send me any form of sign and let me know in my mind that this is you at work. I want to receive this within the next 48 hours, and I want you to make its presence known so that I have absolutely no doubt in my mind. I want a thumbs up, "A clear sign, something that cannot be written off as coincidence. Send it to me. You have 48 hours from now." And then like I say, be on the lookout for any signs, gifts, unusual contact with people. This will be the Universe at work. Give yourself those 48 hours before you move on to the next experiment so that you can solely concentrate on this and give it your all. But for the next experiment, so once you've done that for the next 2 days, The next experiment is proving to you that what shows up in your lives basically is a direct correlation to what we give our thoughts to. So as you know, I've spoken many times before about how if you give constant attention to things, you'll start to see them everywhere, and this experiment will prove that. So for the next 48 hours after you've done your first experiment, you're going to look at certain things, and you're going to look for them. In this case, I'm going to ask you to look for green cars. So they're not very common. Most cars here in the UK are white, black, silver, blue, red, but you barely see any green cars. And I just want you to make the following conscious intention: So I intend for the next 2 days of my life to actively look for green vehicles. Again, nothing special is required here. I just want you to use your eyes and look. Notice if your conscious has made a difference in the green cars you see. So this is what I meant when I spoke earlier about the 400 billion bits of information that your brain sees. You probably see green cars all the time, but your brain doesn't bother to process them because they're not relevant. They don't play any part in your life. But once you start giving them attention, you'll see them everywhere. They're on your day-to-day trips, they're in real life, they're on TV, they're in magazines, they're on Facebook, they're on Instagram. But because your brain thinks it's not relevant to your life, it'll filter it out. And that's what it's doing to all these different bits of information in different parts of your life. Because you aren't giving any focus and your attention to them. So if you can see green vehicles in your life, just think what you can do if you give your attention to what you want in your life. If you give your attention to money, you'll see money-making opportunities that might simply have, like, slipped past you at any other time. If you give your attention to love, you might catch the eye of your dream partner. If you give your attention to your career, you might just find the job opportunity that you've always dreamed of. It's all possible if you give your thoughts to it. So next time you leave the house, next time you go on the internet, next time you're watching TV, like I say, look out for green cars. This will prove to you that your brain blocks out things that have no relevance in your life. And then just before I go today as well, I just want to let you in on a little story of how I manifested spending a day with Alison Hammond. So if you're listening abroad or you live in the UK under a rock, Alison was on Big Brother years ago, and since then she's been working on This Morning interviewing celebs like Beyoncé, Hugh Jackman, Harrison Ford, and more recently she's even started presenting the show itself alongside Dermot O'Leary. And I had the absolute pleasure of appearing on This Morning a couple of years ago. One of my friends was on Love Island. She basically left me in charge of all her social media, and while she was over in the villa, This morning had me and her mom go on the show for a chat. Now, for anyone that knows me, you'd know that this whole experience was like absolute crack for me. I lapped up every second, and I remember the first thing I asked the researcher on the phone was, "Will Alison Hammond be there the same day that we go?" And he started laughing, but I was serious. I love her. Like, I've visualized meeting her a few times just because I think that she's such a positive energy, and I would genuinely have a laugh with her. Anyway, cut to me on the train down to London being told that we would be being interviewed by Eamonn and Ruth. And again, I was asking, 'Is Alison going to be there?' To which they replied, 'Not today, unfortunately.' So anyway, we got put up in a lovely hotel, drove to the studio really early on the morning of our appearance, and just generally treated like absolute royalty by all at the ITV studios. They couldn't have been any nicer. It was, it was an amazing experience, to be fair. But I think because I was on such a positive frequency and such a high vibrational state, being in my element, my manifestation came true. I started hearing Alison's laugh. And I mean, if you've ever seen Alison, you know her laugh. It's so distinctive, so loud. And at first I thought I was just hearing things until one of the crew that was looking after us said, "Oh, that sounds like Alison. She's not meant to be in today." Well, that was it. I was off like a rocket down that corridor. So where we were, it was like a long corridor where you come in at the top, and on the left you've got the green room where all the people being interviewed go, and then there was wardrobe opposite, then hair and makeup, and a little further down was like the admin and the research team helping the show go to plan. And I remember opening the door to hair and makeup, and there she was, just sat there in a chair— Alison Hammond. She must have screamed as I practically jumped on her for a cuddle. Like, this was pre-COVID. And I swear she was the nicest, most lovely person that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She said that the reason that she'd come in today is because she was called very last minute to do an advert for ITV. And I was telling her about how she'd been in my life for the last 20 years since her Big Brother days, and how she just always puts a massive smile on my face. I basically thanked her for all the years of laughter, and she started bloody crying, didn't she? So it turns out she was having a bit of a wobble. She was having a bit of a rough time at home. She had a lot going on, bless her. But she said that hearing something like what I'd said to her had basically put everything into perspective. So I felt like crap that I'd made her cry, but she held my hand while she got her hair and makeup done, and she was just so chatty. She gave me her phone to go on my profile and follow me on Instagram, which honestly made my day. And then she came and sat with us in the green room, and she talked to us for the whole time we were in there. She was more than happy to grab photos with me. They're on my Instagram if you can be bothered to scroll back 2 years. But after our segment, we were getting in our taxi back to the train station, and I just remember this car pulled alongside us and beeped the horn, and there was Alison just hanging out the window shouting, "Bye babes!" and blowing me a kiss. I'll never forget it. I honestly thought that it would be the last time I saw her. But no, she continually messaged me on Instagram back and forth. And a couple of weeks later, we unfortunately lost my grandad. So it turned my life upside down. And I remember coming home one day from my nana's house to a massive bouquet of flowers as well as a Love Island water bottle with my name on with a card from the team at This Morning. And it was such a nice touch. And I know Alison had a lot to do with that, so I'm forever grateful. It was just nice that what I'd given her, she'd given back to me, if that made sense. But the contact didn't end there, so she was doing an Instagram Live one night a few months ago, and as soon as she saw my name pop up, she invited me on. So there I was, laying in bed, totally unprepared, on split-screen Instagram Live with Alison bloody Hammond. She's such a nice person, I honestly can't describe. She even gave me her mobile number, and she texts me from time to time. I mean, my life's made, like, all from me visualising what it would be like to be around her and hear her laugh, putting a smile on my face. And then not only Alison Hammond, but I've also visualized like touching Beyoncé. Like, this is going to sound absolutely weird, but I mean, who hasn't visualized touching Beyoncé? Um, but yeah, basically we'd been like— I think I've been to see Beyoncé about 11 or 12 times in total now. Like, I've seen her so many times. And every time I'm always like, okay, I'm visualizing meeting her backstage and like just talking to her, holding her hand and things like that. And there was one time that I was visualizing just like touching her hand. And then of course there was one part of— I can't remember which tour it was, I think it was like 2013, 2014, it's probably the Mrs. Carter tour. Anyway, she came down these stairs and we were literally right against the barrier, right at the front. And as she came down, she was singing Irreplaceable. There's a video of this on my Instagram as well if you don't believe this. Um, you'll have to scroll back 7 or 8 years. Um, but as she's singing Irreplaceable, she literally hands her microphone forward and I grab her hand and she lets me sing a line. I mean, don't get me wrong, I've tried visualizing just sat down having a coffee with her, but it's not really happening at the minute. But yeah, I got to hold Beyoncé's hand all because I was visualizing what she would, uh, feel like, what she smells like, and things like that. And I know that sounds really, really creepy, but I got to touch Beyoncé. So what I want to know is, have you ever manifested meeting someone? Let me know, get in touch. You can reach me at Canny Crystals on TikTok and Instagram, or my personal, which is @marttweedie. All links are in the show notes. And I honestly can't wait to hear your updates on these experiments as well. So let me know how you get on. What have you managed to manifest? Did you see any green cars? What has come to you? What has the universe given you a sign of? Have they given you a gift? What has been sent to you? I'm really, really eager to know. Let me know. And please, if you haven't done already, don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast. Literally, it goes up the charts whenever you do, so I really do appreciate it. You can rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts now, I believe, and you can also do it on Spotify and things like that. But yeah, tell all your friends about it, and don't forget to visit my website cannycrystals.co.uk. And I'll see you all next week.
