Greetings Wahnam family,
Sigung has summarized a great truth about our thoughts in the Legacy of Ho Fatt Nam thread:
For many years, I understood the importance of thoughts on an intellectual level. However, I never seemed to succeed in attracting and fulfilling my desires. In fact, the opposite happens!
There was a major event in my life years ago where I strongly willed for a desired outcome. However, the final result was the exact opposite of my desired outcome - it was a cruel cosmic joke. I stopped willing events to happen after that. As years passed by, I read stories about how Sigung and our senior instructors often materialized events or situations from thoughts (parking spaces, taxis, airplanes, etc). I was confused but let it go.
I actually went to see a psychic one day for fun who instantly recognized my issue - she stated that as I was thinking of a desire, I cared to much of the outcome that I became very anxious for it to happen. She also talked about my habit of overtraining which caused me to laugh out loud. Anyway, that was an aha moment. I started to reflect on past events where thoughts of mine would materialize - most of the time when it did, I was in a state of relaxed attitude or just didn't care about the outcome.
Due to my spontaneous Kundalini awakening last year, I started to read a lot of yoga literature. One article I came upon is from the AYP website (Advanced Yoga Practices) which talked about a practice called Samyama. The practice is very simple - in meditation, you gently think of a word like "Love" and release it into stillness for 15 seconds and think of nothing. Then you think of the word again and repeat the cycle for 5 minutes or however long your body can handle the energy. A side effect I've noticed is the manifestation of thoughts into reality. You also don't need to contemplate the word since your inner being, or God, subconsciously knows what it means.
My life started to became simpler with this technique - thinking of a desire or thought briefly and just letting it go into stillness. Why? Stuff like green traffic lights, projects completing on time, etc. started coincidentally happening quite often. First Yu Wei, then Wu Wei!!!
Another aha moment - I started to remember that Sigung has taught this in all Chi Kung courses! For example, at the end of each session, have a a gentle thought that you are healthy and happy.
I believe that desiring for a certain outcome is the ego limiting ways God can manifest your wishes. As Sigung says, just let go and don't worry - God will do the rest.
So the key here that I have learned on my journey so far for manifesting thoughts:
a. Have a gentle thought or desire
b. Release into stillness with no thought or attachment to outcome
c. Repeat as necessary and enjoy
Does anyone have similar experiences?

“Mind thinks, events materialize” is the greatest lessons I have had from my sifu, Sifu Ho Fatt Nam. This teaching has helped me and many other people to have a happy and meaningful life.
This teaching is taught in both ancient wisdom and modern science. The Buddha has taught that the most important factor contributing to karma is thought. In other words what a person thinks will materialize as events.
