What the heck is a wheel of fortune? And anyway, why would you want to make one for yourself? Well, in a neat book by Catherine Ponder called “The Healing Secrets of The Ages” there was a fascinating section on designing a “wheel of fortune”.
It’s “… a practical method for training the imagination to produce healthy results.” It’s “…a spiritual, scientific, psychological and practical way of helping you” to use the amazing picturing power of your mind too consciously employ The Law of Attraction. “Imagination is the power of conception and what you can conceive, you can achieve!”
It’s somewhat like making a Dream or Vision Board. You can see mine here in the Photo Gallery. You can also CLICK HERE for a video about Dream Boards by Jack Canfield.
Here are the steps, slightly modified from the ones noted in the chapter from the book. Easy peasy.
- Take a large piece of poster board and then draw a round circle in the middle almost touching the edges of the board.
- In the center of the circle place a spiritual or metaphysical symbol representing a higher power.
- Starting from the center of the circle draw 4 lines to the edge of the circle, creating equal sized sections in pie shapes.
- Label each of the 4 sections: Career [or Business]; Relationships; Health; Wealth. You can make a separate Wheel for each if you like, or focus only on one. In place of or in addition to the 4 labels suggested you can use family, love life, happiness, social, spiritual, intellectual/educational, and the like.
- Cut pictures out of magazines or print off photos, words, affirmations or phrases from the internet representing the results you desire in each of those aspects of your life. Paste them in the appropriate sections of your Wheel of Fortune.
Now, consider these suggestions [adapted from Catherine’s book] on how to get the best results from using the Wheel.
- Don’t show it to anyone. Keep it private.
- Pick a big, colorful piece of poster board as background. a] green or gold for wealth b] yellow or white for spiritual c] blue for educational or learning d] orange or bright yellow for health e] red for love, marriage f] pink or baby blue for family.
- Use bright, colored pictures.
- Don’t overdo it with clutter. Keep it simple.
- In the section on wealth, add real or play money.
- As your spiritual symbol you can use a picture of a holy book, a master/avatar, angel, sun-ray or whatever appeals to you.
- Add a statement about “receiving” and “allowing”.
- Every day spend quiet, alone time focussing on the Wheel. Concentrate. A number of personal development gurus suggest spending no more than about 10 minutes per day visualizing your results.
- Keep working at it. As you achieve results in one or more sections of the Wheel, you can remove the pictures and replace with something new.
- Consider making a new Wheel at the beginning of each year. Something like a Buddhist “prayer wheel”.
So, what do you think? I’ve been using a Vision Board for years, and have replaced a number of the pictures I initially placed on it, having achieved the results I wanted. But there is always more. As Abraham-Hicks says : “..it’s in the wanting.”
Keep manifesting only good things 🙂
