M ake a wish. Now close your eyes and imagine that whatever you have wished for is in your life right now. How does it feel?

You have the opportunity to make all of your wishes come true. Wishing is the act of invoking energy to manifest your hearts desire. There are seven simple steps in the process of successful wishing, which I call wish sense . Wish sense is an ancient art of turning wishes into reality, but one that does not rely on superstition or old wives tales. Rather, wish sense is based on tried and tested principles for achieving a desired outcome.

Now, take a piece of paper or a card and write at the top, My wish is Take a moment to compose your thoughts. If you had just one wish to make, something you would like in your life that would enhance or improve it, what would it be? When you have decided on a wish, write it on the paper, then seal it in an envelope and place it somewhere special, such as next to your bed, on a mirror, or on an altar. Sealing your wish in the envelope will discourage you from changing it as you work through the book. At times you will be prompted to review your wish, but it is beneficial to wait until you have completed the book before changing or altering your wish in any way.

There are seven easy steps to making a wish come true. They are revealed in this book through the rediscovery of your individual creative power. It is important to work through the book sequentially and not be tempted to skip to the end. Practice the exercises given in each chapter before moving on. Keep a wish journal of your insights, recording your thoughts and experiences as you expand your awareness. Use separate pages for each exercise, numbering them for easy reference. Once you have written down your thoughts, you will begin to edit them for relevant facts, which I will guide you through. This will help you to identify repeated or similar themes and assist you in organizing your wishes and desires.

Wishing is designed to help you to recognize your own ability to manifest your wishes, as well as demonstrate why some wishes fall on rocky soil. By following the principles of wish sense, you will learn how to manifest your wishes and, most importantly, how to get exactly what you need to live a happy and wish-fulfilled life. After all, you deserve everything the universe has to offer. Now is the time to take control of your life, to realize your dreams, to actualize your hearts desires, and to manifest your wishes. I offer you the best of wishes on this journey
