Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Cani Crystals, the podcast. I hope that you're all very well. My name is Mart Tweedy, I'm your host, and for long-time listeners of this podcast, can you remember back in the early days— I can't even remember how long ago this was, I'm probably thinking about 3 years ago now— where I did an episode and I asked you all to look for green cars just to prove that your reticular activating system worked? Can you remember that? Well, believe it or not, that is the most commented on episode that I have ever, ever released. And even still this morning, just before recording this episode, I had someone message me to say that they just listened to that episode, they just found the podcast, started right from the very beginning, they went outside their house and they didn't even realize that their neighbor's car was green because she just never paid any attention. So I thought Well, you know, let's make another episode filled with things like that you can do at home to prove to yourself that manifestation is real. And this episode is all about having fun with manifestation. There's no pressure, there's no waiting for big things, just simple magical experiments just to prove that this stuff works in real time. So if you've ever thought, you know, but how do I know if manifestation is real? These easy no-risk challenges, they are going to give you undeniable proof, and once you see it firsthand, it's going to give you confidence that you can then manifest anything that you want to in life. Now, I know that sometimes manifestation can feel like this big mystical thing, like, how does it actually work? Is it just a lucky coincidence? Are we all just making this up in our heads? I get it, I totally get it, I've been there myself. But But that's why today's episode is all about proving it to yourself in a way that feels easy, exciting, and undeniable as well. So just before we get into the actual experiments, we have to talk about the right mindset, because the way that you approach these little manifestation games will probably determine whether they work or not. So I want to set you up for success. So let's say you're trying to manifest something big. Like a new job, a dream home, a soulmate, a million quid. I mean, hey, why not? But your brain is like, um, yeah, right, we don't see proof of that yet, so let's just panic instead. So here's where these little manifestation experiments come in. Think of them like training wheels for your belief system. You know when you first get a bike when you're little, you get those little stabilizers, training wheels, whatever you want to call them. So this is training wheels for your belief system. So when you see a tiny thing manifest, whether that be a random object, unexpected money, a compliment, it's going to prove to your subconscious mind that this stuff works. And once you've got that proof, you start believing it on a much bigger scale. So I want you to think of your manifestation mindset as like a muscle. The more you practice, the stronger your faith in manifestation is going to become. And the stronger your faith gets, the easier it is for those big manifestations to land. So the secret sauce here is that zero pressure equals maximum results. We all know, like, let's go back to the start with my story, for example. The first thing I ever tried to manifest was £3,500, and I did that by lying in the bath, playing sea noises, visualizing myself, um, on a beach in Thailand. And when I came out of the bath, I saw an advert for a TV show called Tipping Point, which I applied for, and and I went onto that TV show and I won £3,500. Now, the reason that it is so easy for us to manifest that very first time, and I really wish that I'd gone for £1 million rather than £3,500, but the reason that it's so easy for us is that we don't have any pressure. We don't have any blocks in thinking, hmm, is it gonna work this time? Is it not gonna work this time? We've got zero pressure, so we're gonna get those maximum results. So one of the biggest reasons that these experiments work so well is because you're not going to be attached to the outcome. Think about it, when you're manifesting something that you desperately want, there's usually some tension, right? Some overthinking, some, "But what if it doesn't happen?" But with these little experiments that we're going to do today, it's going to be different. There is no life-changing pressure. You're just going to have fun with the universe. You're just kind of playing a little game. And here's the thing, detachment is a manifesting superpower. So when you're light and you're playful, your energy is open And that's when the magic happens. Have you ever noticed how the second you stop obsessing over something, boom, it shows up? That's because you've shifted out of desperation and into trust. So these experiments are gonna help you get into that effortless flow on purpose. So let's shift the way that you think about this right now. Instead of asking, "Will this experiment actually work for me?" Just try asking yourself, "How fun will it be to see how this unfolds?" Or instead of worrying about whether you're doing it right, just try saying, 'Let's just test this out and see what happens.' So you're not proving anything to anyone. You're not under any pressure to get it perfect. You're simply playing a game with the energy. That's all it is. So I want you to think of this episode like an experiment with the universe. There's no risk, there's no pressure, nobody's gonna die. It's just an opportunity to prove to yourself that you are always creating your reality. Okay, so now that we've got your energy in the right place— it's playful, it's curious, it's open— it's time for us to dive into the first experiment. So what I want you to to do because I don't want you to be feeling overwhelmed, like, oh my God, I need to set this intention, I need to look for this, I need to do that, and ugh. What I want you to do is just listen to the episode. I want you to take notes if you want to, and I want you to choose just one of these experiments to give your all to. And then when you've got the result from it, come back and do another, and so on. Okay, what I don't want you to try and do is do all three of these experiments at the same time because you're just going to be diluting your energy. So focus on one experiment at a time, but do try all three at some point across the week, okay? Just see which one resonates with you the most and go from there. So the first one, it's so simple, but it will completely blow your mind when it works. So we're about to ask the universe to show you something completely random, and trust me, you'll be shocked at how quickly this appears. So experiment number one, and I love this one because like I said, it's so simple, it's so easy, and honestly, it'll make you feel like an absolute magician when it works. So here's the deal: we're going to ask the universe to show us something completely random, something that we wouldn't normally see in our day-to-day life, and then we're going to sit back, relax, and watch it appear. It's that simple. Okay, now before you start thinking, oh, this is just coincidence, let me tell you, I've had people try this and see their chosen object appear in the most unexpected ways. And once you see it work for yourself, you'll realize this is not just chance. This is your energy in action. So let's get into it. Here's exactly what you need to do. Step 1 is to choose your object. So this is where the fun begins. You're going to pick something totally random, something that you don't normally see every day. It could be a purple feather, it could be a pineapple, it could be a rubber duck, it could be a green frog, it could be a magician's hat, Basically anything that wouldn't usually pop up in your world. If you work in a kids' toy shop, maybe don't pick a rubber duck, yeah? Do you know what I'm saying? Make it something that on a normal day you wouldn't really expect to see. And if you really can't think of something, I'll pick one for you. How about a pink elephant or a blue butterfly? For me personally, I always ask to see a blue butterfly because the only place usually where I see a blue butterfly is through an emoji. But the last time that I did this, one of my members, Cheryl, she sent me sent me a message with the blue butterfly emoji at the end. And then when I was walking me dog the same day, a bus went past and the advert on the side of the bus was for a perfume or something. And guess what? There was a blue butterfly on the bottle. So step number 2, once you've got your object, is to set your intention. So once you've got your object, all you need to do is set the intention. So say to yourself, I intend to see a whatever your object is, within the next 48 hours. So I intend to see a blue butterfly within the next 48 hours. That's it. No stressing, no forcing, just a simple decision. And this is important: don't overthink how it's going to appear. It could be on a t-shirt, it could be in a shop window, it could be on a random advert on the telly, it could even come to you in a dream overnight. Literally anywhere. Your job isn't to search for it.. It's just to simply let it come to you, okay? So step 3 is to let it go and stay open. And here's where most people probably mess this up. They try too hard to look for it. The key to this experiment is relaxing and trusting. That's when it comes to us. It comes to us in the most unexpected ways. I didn't expect Cheryl to put that blue butterfly on the bottom of her message. I didn't expect to see the blue butterfly on the side of the bus. I wasn't looking for it. I just got on with the rest of my day. The key to this experiment is relaxing and trusting. You don't need to walk around staring at the ground thinking, "Where's my rubber duck?" You don't need to spend hours scrolling through the internet hoping for a pineapple to pop up. You just need to go about your normal life and trust that it's coming. And that's the whole point of this experiment—to show you that manifestation isn't about chasing, it's about allowing. So step 4 is to sit back and watch the magic happen. Now here's where it gets wild. People who have tried this have had the craziest experiences. For example, one person picked a neon purple butterfly. He thought it was impossible, and then boom, there was a kid sat next to him on the train with a backpack covered in neon purple butterflies. Another person in my membership picked a rubber duck, and guess what? The very next morning, they opened up TikTok and the very first video on their feed was a giant bathtub full of rubber ducks. Someone else that I spoke to as well, um, they chose a pineapple, and within hours a stranger walked past them wearing a bright yellow t-shirt that said "Stay Pineapple" on it. Like, what's that even about? But when this happens to you, and trust me it will, you'll get that little shiver, that little "Oh my God, no way," okay? You'll get it. And that's when you know that this stuff is real. Okay, so let's break it down. When your object appears, what does that usually mean? So number 1, it proves that your thoughts and intentions shape your reality, even for something as random as a pink elephant. Number 2, it shows you that you don't need to chase things, you just need to allow them to come to you. And number 3, most importantly, it helps you build that trust in manifestation so you can apply the exact same principles to bigger desires. So I want you to go and try this out. I want you to pick your object, set your intention, let the universe surprise you, okay? Get on with your day, and when it happens, I want you to message me immediately because I need to hear these stories, okay? That's it for experiment number 1. We're going to move on to experiment number 2 now, and you're going to love this one because this time we're going to manifest actual money. Yep, you heard me. Straight up, unexpected, out of nowhere cash. Now I know what you're thinking, "Mart, is this even possible? Like, how is money just going to appear in my life without me doing anything?" And my answer is, just wait, okay? Because when I tell you the stories I've heard about this experiment working in the weirdest ways, you will be shook. So if you're ready to start receiving free money, because I mean, who isn't, let's get into exactly how you're going to do this. Step 1, in exactly the same way, we are going to set an intention for unexpected money. So this experiment is really simple. All you need to do is decide— yes, decide— that in the next 48 hours you are going to receive money from an unexpected source. This is key. It has to be money you wouldn't normally expect to receive. So we're not talking about, you know, your wage from your job, or a refund that you already knew was coming, or a payment from your partner that he usually pays in at this time of the month. We're talking about the universe surprising you with cash in a way that you wouldn't have normally planned. Okay, so just like in the last experiment, you need to be very specific about the outcome but detached from the how it's going to get there. So I want you to say to yourself, "I intend to receive unexpected money within the next 48 hours," or I want you to say, "Money flows to me easily and in unexpected ways." Okay, step 2 is to release any resistance around receiving. Now let's be real, some of us have a bit of a complicated relationship with money. I know I have in the past as well. So before this experiment works, I just need you to check in with yourself. Do you feel like money only comes through hard work? Do you feel guilty about receiving money effortlessly? Do you deep down believe that money is scarce or hard to come by? If any of that hit home, just take a deep breath. Just remind yourself, money is just energy. It's literally no different from a pink elephant appearing in your reality. It's just that we've been taught to make money feel like this big heavy thing. So for this experiment, we are treating money like it's fun and easy. It's just another random thing that shows up. It's no big deal. I'm not trying to manifest a million pound to solve all of my issues in life. I might be just trying to manifest, you know, 20 quid that I find on a dog walk or something like that. Okay, so step 3 is to look for any and every form of abundance. So this is where the fun begins. Once you've set your intention, you're going to stay open to receiving money in any form because unexpected money can come in so many different ways, like finding money on the ground— even pennies count, okay? Someone randomly buying you coffee or lunch. It might be a refund that you forgot about suddenly just appearing in your account. It could be a discount on something that you were going to buy anyway. It could be a client, if you're self-employed, unexpectedly tipping you or sending you a little bit extra. It could be a friend randomly paying for something for you. It could be winning a little something like a scratch card, a giveaway, anything. But here's the catch: you have to acknowledge it when it happens, okay? Too often people do this experiment, they get a random discount on something, and they go, "Oh well, that doesn't count." Uh, yes it does. That's money that you didn't expect to save. So the second you receive anything, even if it's just a tiny amount, celebrate it. I want you to say, "Thank you, Universe. More of this, please." Okay, step 4 is to let go and let the Universe surprise you. Now, if you're walking around all day anxiously checking your bank account, hunting for spare change on the ground, or going down the back of your couch, whatever, like a little detective, You're missing the point here. This only works if you detach from the outcome. So set your intention and then go about your day. Just trust that the money is already on its way. The moment that you stop needing it to happen, it will. In terms of real life stories of this, like, I've heard so many wild stories from people who have tried this experiment. Um, one of my friends, she set her intention. Later that day, she got an email saying that she was randomly being refunded I think it was like £48 or something, just for an overpayment that she didn't even know about. See what I mean? It's not a life-changing amount of money, but it was something that she set her intention about, and she got it. My partner set an intention and then found a £10 note just sat on the path when he was out walking the dog. There was someone in my Manifest Money Masterclass, um, who'd said that they got to the checkout at a shop and the item that they were about to buy was on an unadvertised 50% discount. She saved about £150. And get this, one of my listeners even sent in a story not long ago saying that she'd completely forgotten about an old investment, and that very week after we'd been talking about this, she got a £200 payout from it. Like, the universe doesn't play around when it comes to money. It just wants you to receive. You just have to open up and allow it. So it's time to put this to the test. Set your intention right away, say it out loud if you can, and then let it go. Get on with your day. Stay open. Let the universe do its thing. And then when the money arrives, because trust me, it will, make sure that you celebrate it. It could just be that you find a penny on the street. I don't care. Celebrate it. Say, "Yes, more of this, please!" The more excited you get about this, the more feeling and emotion that you bring into this, the universe is going to be like, "Oh, okay, he got excited over a penny." 'What's he going to be like when he gets this next £10?' Do you know what I mean? Celebrate it, okay? The more you celebrate something, the more you celebrate those tiny little wins, the more the universe is going to know exactly what track you want to be going down. Okay, so that's the end of experiment number 2. Experiment number 3, and this next experiment is so simple but so powerful because it proves that the energy you put out is exactly what you get back. This is going to be all about attracting something to you. Like, have you ever had one of those days where you just felt amazing, like you were glowing from the inside out, and then suddenly people start noticing you? Maybe a stranger complimented your outfit, or a friend randomly said, "You look so happy today, you look glowing." That wasn't random. That was your energy speaking before you even said a word. So in this last experiment, experiment number 3, we are going to intentionally shift our energy and watch as the world mirrors it back to us. So you're about to manifest an unexpected compliment, and you don't have to do anything different except tweak your vibe. Okay, so for Experiment 3, step 1 is to set the intention to receive a compliment. So first things first, you're going to decide that today, or within the next 48 hours, whatever time scale that you put on this, someone is going to give you a genuine compliment. It could be about your appearance, like, "Your hair looks amazing." Could be about your energy, 'You know, you've got such a great vibe about you.' It could be something that you do. You know, like, 'I love how creative you are.' It could be anything else. It could be someone just even saying, 'I just love being around you.' Just any form of compliment, okay? So I want you to take a deep breath, and I want you to say out loud, 'I intend to receive a beautiful compliment today, and I allow it in with gratitude.' 'I intend to receive a beautiful compliment today, and I allow it in with gratitude.' That's it. You're not forcing anything. You're just putting that energy out there and letting it come back to you. Step 2 is to start embodying the energy that you want reflected back. So this is where the magic will start. Compliments don't come just because you ask for them. They come because of the energy that you radiate. So instead of waiting for someone to tell you how amazing you are, feel amazing first. How would you carry yourself if you already knew people were drawn to you? What would you do differently if you already felt magnetic? How would you show up if you expected people to notice something about you today? This is key. Your energy speaks louder than your words. So straighten your posture, smile, put on your favorite outfit, or simply walk around with that quiet confidence like, "Yep, I'm glowing today." Because when you own that energy, people can't help but notice. So step 3 is to amplify it by giving what you want to receive. So one of the fastest ways to manifest a compliment is to give one first. This is not about manipulating energy, it's about shifting into an abundant giving state. When you give a compliment, you're sending out a signal to the universe that there is more than enough beauty and kindness to go around. And what happens? That energy comes straight back to you. So today you might want to compliment a stranger, you could message a friend with a heartfelt compliment, you could even just think a kind thought about someone, you know, someone that's helped you in the last week or so. You'll be amazed at how fast the energy bounces back to you. And then step 4 is to stay open and let it land. So the only thing left to do is to let it happen. Someone might compliment you in person, through a message, on social media, or in a random, totally unexpected way. Your only job is to notice that and receive it fully, because I think too often, you know, we brush off compliments. Like someone said to me a few weeks ago, "oh, I love that top," and I went, "this? It's really old and it's from Primark. It cost us about £4, maybe 8 years ago. I've been wearing it like to go on dog walks because it's like got a hole in the back." No, when your compliment arrives, instead of deflecting that, say, "thank you, I receive that, that's very nice of you to say so," because when you accept compliments openly, you start to signal to the universe that you're ready to receive even more abundance. I know my friend Nikki won't mind me talking about this, but she decided she was going to receive a compliment on her energy. "not her looks, not her clothes, just her vibe." And guess what? That same day, one of her co-workers said to her, "I don't know what it is about you today, but you're glowing." Now that to me just says it all. Like, it works because your external world is always a reflection of your internal world. So if you've ever doubted the way that you feel changes the way that people respond to you, this experiment is going to prove it. So set your intention right now Decide that someone will compliment you. Embody the energy of someone who gets noticed. Give compliments freely to other people and watch them come back to you. And most importantly, receive it fully when it happens. And when it does, you better DM me because I need to hear your story as well. So that brings us to the end of this kind of wild experimental episode, and I know some of you already will be buzzing because you're just excited about how these experiments are going to work in real time. But just then we've played with asking the universe for a random object to appear, manifesting unexpected money— because who doesn't love free cash— and attracting a compliment just by shifting your energy. There are 3 very, very simple manifestation kind of experiments that you can do at home to prove that this shit works. And like I say, once you start seeing those changes in your life, and once you start actually, you know, seeing these little results you'll know fine well firsthand that manifestation works. And let me tell you, these aren't just cute little games. These are proof that you are always shaping your reality. These are proof that manifestation is real, proof that the universe is listening to you all the time. So your challenge for this week is to pick one and try it today. I want you to actually do one of these right now. I want you to either pick a random object and set the intention I want you to decide that you're going to receive unexpected cash and let it come to you, or I want you to embody that magnetic energy and manifest yourself a compliment. And then when it happens, like I say, I want you to message me, I want you to tag me in your stories, because I need to hear these stories, and I'll share them all across my social media as well. I'm @cannycrystals on social media. I honestly think the biggest lesson from these experiments is that manifestation doesn't have to be hard. You don't, you don't need to prove yourself to the universe. You don't need to stress over how things will happen. You just need to set the intention, let go, and stay open to receive. And if it works for the small things, guess what? It's going to work for everything. Have you ever heard someone say it's no harder to manifest a million pound than it is one pound? And that's because of all the self-imposed limiting beliefs that we place on ourselves. But you know what? This works for everything. You just have to bring that that same playful, detached energy into your bigger manifestations as well. Because these experiments, I've kind of designed these to be fun and experimental. So because you're going to have fun with it, you're going to find it a lot easier. We just need to bring that into our bigger manifestations as well. So go ahead and try them.
