A couple of weeks ago I was listening to Denise Linn’s show on Hay House Radio. Nothing new there…I listen every week! Anyway, the subject was Miracle Boxes. Miracle Boxes, you say, I can hear you jumping up and down and screaming I want one, I want one. I had begun a Miracle Box when I was at Summerhill Ranch (Denise’s center) in October…but I did not finish it there and it had just been sitting on a shelf, another unfinished project mocking me.

As Denise began chatting about Miracle Boxes I knew it was time. I jumped up, grabbed my partially completed Miracle Box and a tote box full of my collage materials and I was creating. It was almost like being with Denise again, she talked, did a meditation and I worked on my Miracle Box. By the end of the show, my box was complete and it felt so GOOD. I am a complete believer in everything happening when it should and as it should…even if we never understand WHY in our Rational Minds (fodder for another post). So, the Miracle Box I completed on THAT day was the perfect Miracle Box for me to work with.

Denise Linn defines a Miracle Box as…

Create a Magical Miracle Box

This is similar to the creation of a collage, but it’s more fluid. Decorate a box—it can be cardboard, wood or plastic—and around the outside edges write: “Thank You! Thank You!” And on the inside lid write: “Whatever is written in this box is So!” Then, on slips of paper, write your desires . . . as if they have already occurred. When something manifests remove the slip of paper…and you can add more if you like. Put special objects into the box such as crystals or flower petals. Place it in a special place to help manifest your dreams.

Here are the basics of a Miracle Box…

Find a box that you can decorate. Any crafts or general store will have them. You can use one of the Kraft cardboard boxes, a wooden box, or even a cigar box. Shape is not important…round, square, rectangle, whatever box makes your heart sing.

Gather your magazine collection, any embellishments you desire, glue (Rubber cement is my fave), scissors, Sharpies® or pen/pencil of choice.

Go through the magazines and cut the pictures, words, phrases out that speak to you.

Then attach the words, phrases, embellishments onto the box. You can cover your box with anything you desire…now is the time to let your creative juices flow or NOT! It can be as simple or over-the-top as you wish. With nods to Outback, No Rules, Just Right!

Next, write, as Denise outlines above, Thank You all around the outside and on the top. Then on the inside top, “What is written in here is so.” or “As it is, so it shall be.” This is an important positive manifestation of the thoughts that will be put inside.

Next, write your intentions, your desires, your dreams, your affirmations on slips of paper and put them inside. I used a hand made paper and carefully tore the strips of paper. You can do whatever feels good for you, of course. Write the intentions in the positive and as if they have already manifested. For example…”I am healthy and vibrant and at my ideal size.” “I am enjoying work that fulfills me and pays well.” You get the idea!

Place the intentions inside the box. You can add crystals, flowers, anything you wish! As the intentions come true, remove them and thank the Universe (insert your word, God, Heaven, etc.).

I end with a meditation in which I visualize each and every intention being fulfilled. This does not have to take long, just a few minutes total OR it can take as long as you wish. Once again…no rules! Oh, I also began with a visualization of my Miracle Box being a vibrant tool for my spiritual growth.

I also stopped and cleaned my desk before I began working on my Miracle Box. After I completed the box, I also gave my office a really good cleaning. I admit, that is one of my challenges in life. I loathe cleaning and make many excuses for it. I have even played the Past Life Princess card, to no avail, I might add. It felt so good to have a fresh, clean office to finish my Miracle Box in!

I am sending you loads of good energy, faboo intentions, and a Miracle Box that is the perfect tool for you to begin creating the life your heart desires.
