Million Dollar Experiment
My Million Dollar Affirmation
This is what I am doing, and it feels really good to me, so I thought I’d share it:
I downloaded the wallpaper from Steve Pavlina’s website so that I would have it right there to look at and so I wouldn’t forget what it was.
When I sit down at my desk in the morning, I look at the affirmation, and think about how cool it would be to have a million dollars. And if it was as easy as just saying this one thing every day, that would be great.
Then I am breathe in and saying (not out loud) “In an easy and relaxed manner“… and I consciously relax as I think about the concept of easy and relaxed…
I breathe out and repeat mentally “Om Gum Ganapataye Namaha” (one of the Ganesh mantras)… I chose this mantra because it is for new beginnings and for success; and also because it felt good in my mind when I read it…. and I say to myself “with Ganesh as my ally and partner, this can be easy and relaxed”…
Then I inhale “in a healthy and positive way“.. and as I do, I think how good it would be to feel 100% healthy and happy…
As I breathe out “Om Gum Ganapataye Namaha“.. I think about Ganesh clearing out all the clutter, crud, and crap, and how good that will feel when it’s done…
Then I breathe in and say “in it’s own perfect time“.. and I think about how I can just let it all happen naturally without putting a lot of pressure into the when and the how because life is a journey not a destination, and I can stop and smell the roses along the way, and I don’t have to be in a rush for everything to be right now.
Which is almost like a huge sigh of relief as I breathe out “Om Gum Ganapataye Namaha” and think about Ganesh as the supporter of the world and how he is like going out in front of me clearing the way, and taking care of me, how that feels pretty safe and good..
And I breathe in “I intend one million dollars to come into my life” … and I think about money winging its way to me.. about money in the mail, money in my hands, money in my checking account, money piling up around softly burning candles, money coming through the front door, money slipping in through open windows, money drifting out of the clear blue sky… and I remember that I like money, and that money is my friend…
As I breathe out “Om Gum Ganapataye Namaha” it’s easy to think of Ganesh and his bowl of sweet fruit and modaka balls, and how life can be so sweet… and that feels really good because I don’t often entertain the notion of life as sweet.
Then, I breathe in .. “and into the lives of everyone who holds this intention“.. and I think about opening my heart to everyone and generosity and giving and sharing, and I try to feel my heart actually softening and opening and becoming tender..
And as I breathe out “Om Gum Ganapataye Namaha“… I give the whole thing to Ganesh.. like a present.. and say here it is.. I release it to you.. do whatever pleases you…
I do this about three times.. whenever I sit down at the computer. Sometimes, I just breathe and say the mantra and the affirmation because visualizing all that stuff seems just too complicated, other times the visualizations are effortless and come naturally. I try to just go with the flow. Then I get busy and forget about it.

Now What?
This morning I had an idea and acted on it. I am curious to see what will come of it. The idea came to me that it might be beneficial to go to Craig’s List and see what opportunities were available for us there.
Here is what I found:
- Art Magazine Seeks Advertisments From Artists of All Genres
- Good cause – show off/donate your art
- East Crossroads Gallery looking for Artists
- Get Your Work Seen
- Wanted: Girls Baby Clothes – Sizes 24 Mo. and 2T
- Newsmagazine Seeking Freelance Writers for our Urban Traveler Section
- Freelance writer needed
- Freelance Greeting Card Writers Wanted
- Painter Wanted
- Magazine Art & Design
- Armed Officers Wanted
- Human Resources Department Openings
There is quite a lot more listed, but I think this makes for a good start. Oh, and I almost forgot, be sure to check this listing out. It’s the one I put up this morning. Go see it here.
How it works
This experiment is based on the intention-manifestation model of reality, where the goal is to generate $1 million of additional wealth for each person who chooses to participate.
If you wish to participate, all you need to do is to decide to put forth the following intention:
In an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way, in its own perfect time, for the highest good of all, I intend $1,000,000 to come into my life and into the lives of everyone who holds this intention.
Spend time each day thinking about this intention. You can write it down, post it on a wall, recite it aloud, memorize it, visualize it happening, sing it, express it artistically, blog about it, discuss it with others, meditate on it, pray it, or otherwise put some positive thought energy behind it. Tell the universe to “make it so” in whatever way you feel is a good fit for your current belief system.
Your minimum level of participation is to consciously think about the intention above for just 60 seconds per day. Sometime each day remind yourself to pause, take a deep breath, review the intention, focus your creative conscious energy on it with the expectation that it will manifest, and then release it completely. Allow the universe to handle the details. You’re always free to do more, but commit yourself to at least 60 seconds each day for as long as you wish to continue the experiment. Treat it like an item on your daily to do list, or establish a regular time for it to make it a habit.
You don’t have to physically do anything until and unless you feel intuitively guided to do so. Allow the universe to handle the details, and don’t be concerned with how the money will manifest. Just focus on the intention while remaining detached from any particular outcome.
Stay on the lookout for synchronicities (i.e. unusual coincidences) and new opportunities that may come into your life as a result of this experiment, especially within the first 48 hours. And when a new opportunity comes to you as a result of this intention, take advantage of it if you feel drawn to action.
Million Dollar Experiment FAQ
1. Do we have to sign up on Steve Pavlina’s website in order to participate in the experiment?
It is, of course, up to you. Signing up at his site is not mandatory, and the prosperity project police won’t come and put you in jail if you don’t (smile). If you are hesitant to give your name out, you can sign up there as an anonymous participant. I do think, that if we are doing the Steve Pavlina Million Dollar Experiment, it would make sense to sign up at his website. Otherwise we would just be doing an imitation of his experiment. Personally, I am a firm believer in the power of numbers, and I think that the more people doing it together, the better. So I’m signing up.
2. Who is Steve Pavlina anyway?
I do not know. If you are interested in finding out about him, there is a lot of info on his site, StevePavlina.com. I heard about the project on one of the forums at Zaadz.
3. Will we be logging into the prosperity project every day? or will we be going to his site?
We will be logging on here at the prosperity project every day that it’s possible, and sharing the ideas and opportunities that happen to come our way. If you like Steve Pavlina’s site, you could certainly go there, but except for the initial signing up, any visits to his site will be purely optional.
What Is The Million Dollar Experiment?
The Million Dollar Experiment was an intention-manifestation experiment that ran from Nov 2005 to Feb 2007.
The goal of the experiment was to attempt to use the power of intention to manifest $1 million for each person who chose to participate. It was 100% free with no costs of any kind.
The basic experiment was outlined in two blog posts on Steve Pavlina‘s website: Million Dollar Experiment and Million Dollar Experiment 2.0.
Results
A total of 1730 people participated in the experiment publicly, although not everyone started at the same time. Those people reported manifesting a combined total of $1,247,929.17 in extra money.
The Intention
Each person who chose to participate agreed to consciously hold the following intention:
In an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way, in its own perfect time, for the highest good of all, I intend $1,000,000 to come into my life and into the lives of everyone who holds this intention.
Instructions
Participants were provided with the following instructions:
Consciously think about the intention above for just 60 seconds per day. Sometime each day remind yourself to pause, take a deep breath, review the intention, focus your creative conscious energy on it with the expectation that it will manifest, and then release it completely. Allow the universe to handle the details. You’re always free to do more, but commit yourself to at least 60 seconds each day for as long as you wish to continue the experiment. Treat it like an item on your daily to do list, or establish a regular time to make it a habit.
Spend time each day thinking about this intention. You can write it down, post it on a wall, recite it aloud, memorize it, visualize it happening, sing it, express it artistically, blog about it, discuss it with others, meditate on it, pray it, or otherwise put some positive thought energy behind it. Tell the universe to “make it so” in whatever way you feel is a good fit for your current belief system.
You don’t have to physically do anything until and unless you feel intuitively guided to do so. Allow the universe to handle the details, and don’t be concerned with how the money will manifest. Just focus on the intention while remaining detached from any particular outcome. Stay on the lookout for synchronicities (i.e. unusual coincidences) and new opportunities that may come into your life as a result of this experiment, especially within the first 48 hours. And when a new opportunity comes to you as a result of this intention, take advantage of it if you feel inspired to act.

The Million Dollar Experiment
Looks good doesn’t it? Wouldn’t you like to have one of those in your wallet? I know I would!
Welcome to our next project. We will be participating in Steve Pavlina’s Million Dollar Experiment, with a twist. To take a look at the experiment, download some cool desktop wallpaper, and to sign up, you can visit his site at www.stevepavlina.com.
For the purposes of The Prosperity Project, we are adding a twist. In addition to working Steve Pavlina’s experiment, we will be taking notice of, and sharing any money making ideas, opportunities, or avenues that we happen to think of, discover, find, or hear about from day to day.
Our project starts bright and early tomorrow morning. That would be Monday March 12. Between now and then I will be posting an FAQ for the million dollar project, and an overview of the Ganesh Project. I will also be making some minor changes to our site to accommodate both the question of the day, and the affirmation for the million dollar experiment.
Here’s to a fun filled and exciting 30 days of unexpected income. Cheers! 🙂
