Dear Athena.
I wanted to send my success story, a story that has spanned over 13 years.
I met my SP shortly after a very bad break up with an abusive and controlling partner of seven years.
He was everything I’d ever wanted in a partner, he was physically my type, very affectionate and very independent. I’d known him a long time as we’d gone to nursery and school together but didn’t know him well as an adult.
Our relationship was turbulent from the first. I now know I had underlying assumptions about people needing to play the field before they settle down and this was heavily reinforced by my parents who had personal experience of this.
We broke up many times, it was always him leaving me, needing to experience other women and not wanting to commit to a relationship. I was heavily influenced by my family’s somewhat high expectations of relationships and by my and my Mum’s tarot readings that reaffirmed everything I thought.
Despite all the break ups he only had one experience with a third party during a break up which lasted a few weeks and was over before I knew about it.
We had a lot of obstacles to face as well, close family deaths on his part, two cancer diagnosis’s and treatment on mine.
Eventually other women became such a threat inside my head that he cheated on me. We managed to stay together for a further year but eventually it all blew up spectacularly, just before a close family member of mine had life saving surgery.
I was devastated. I couldn’t avoid it any longer. I couldn’t keep blaming him for the continued mess I kept finding myself in.
I started studying break up psychology, went down the embarrassing road of watching videos about getting your ex back and it was then that I found the Law of Attraction.
But I didn’t get it. How do you vibrate at the frequency of anything? I don’t know about frequencies. Surely you couldn’t be happy all the time? I learnt a lot about gratitude, mind set and observing thoughts but I had some euphoric days and some serious down days.
Then I found you. I did know about the law of assumption but no one got it like you did so I binge watched your content.
Meanwhile I moved out for the third time and into my best friends house. It was all very strange and new and I had a bedroom to myself for the first time since I was a very little girl and had a lot of fun decorating it and building a more independent lifestyle than I had ever had before.
I did manage to manifest him back after about eight months but I wasn’t ready yet. I had deep seated fears about him cheating on me again. I hadn’t changed any of my core beliefs, I was obsessive about watching social media to the point where even I felt uncomfortable with the stalking. I just wanted him back at any cost.
It lasted 2 and a half months and ended with him ending it, drunk, via Whatsapp, sending messages in capitols about how he was a cheat, nothing but a cheat and always would be.
I was devastated and ANGRY. At a total loss as to where I had gone wrong, I binge watched stoicism videos and cut all ties except Whatsapp where I archived the chat. I stopped all stalking behavior. I began to make self therapy a fun and interesting project. I found a nueroscientist that had developed something called the nuerocycle which helped with trauma and toxic thoughts. I also binge watched a lot of Joseph’s videos.
Then one day I imagined the hurt and the pain I’d been carrying around for years regarding the cheating episode as if it was a boil festering inside of me. I imagined ripping it open and staring into a volcano of lava and shouting down into it “why are you here? Why am I carrying you around like some unwanted friend?” And just like that all the pain washed through me and left and all I could see were the cold ashes of something that was no longer active, no longer causing pain.
I then pictured an inner conversation with my SP where we put a lot of the past to bed and it was a long conversation that left me feeling warm and friendly towards him again. I also realized I was doing him a disservice by hoping he was miserable without me and began to see him looking well which was almost instantly reflected back through family who were still friends with him.
I nuerocycled the cheating, the fear of other women, the jealousy, the insecurity, everything!
Then during one of your lives I had a massive realization. I had abandonment wounds. When I really thought about it I had struggled to commit to my SP just as much as he had struggled to commit to me. I’d never saved for the wedding, never pushed to make plans, never moved in anything more than I absolutely needed, half of my possessions had always stayed at my parents house. So who was really the problem here?
So I worked on these wounds, I used a lot of sleep hypnosis videos and suddenly I felt confident, secure in the knowledge that no one is me and therefore it’s pointless competing with or feeling jealous of any other women and secure in the knowledge that I could function in a relationship.
Then I got serious, I made a generalized list of my perfect partner and then I wrote down all of my assumptions about my SP. They weren’t pretty. Flighty, puts everyone else above me, obsessed with sex etc…
Then I overturned them and did a small visualisation for each. Both these long lists I placed under my pillow and every night for a week or two I would read them through, thinking about how wonderful that version of my SP was.
Finally I crafted a scene where I and my SP were staring up at a black and white photo of our wedding day, hugging and talking about how wonderful it was to have been married for so many happy years.
It clicked. I felt so calm and there was a warm feeling of satisfaction in my stomach. I knew it was done.
I’d only seen him briefly and had been too angry to talk but the next time I saw him I enquired if he was ok and was polite and cordial.
Three weeks later he messaged me and asked to go for a walk. We spoke about the past and how much we had both grown, he is almost as spiritual as I am and for both of us it felt like we’d been so thirsty and had finally found a long quenching drink.
We took it very slowly and I have worked hard to stop old patterns and assumptions creeping in. I have spiralled a few times when reality has knocked me but I’ve learnt that as long as I don’t react in a spiral and I focus on myself and calming down and healing I am ok and it hasn’t affected my manifestation at all. I have also noticed that over time these episodes are few and far between.
I gave up the Tarot, something that has been in my life for years because I realized I was allowing them to keep me stuck in old patterns of thinking. Nobody dictates my reality but me.
We’ve been together for over 6 months now. For once I live in the moment and truly take things day by day. I am the best version of me in the relationship and out of it.
I’ve learnt so much on this journey of the self and am no where near finished learning, I never want to finish learning about my wonderful life.
I’ve manifested many things utilizing Joseph’s list method and have come up with my own way to manifest important things. I write down my current assumptions, then overturn them with mini visualisations for each and then script a visualisation and loop it until it feels right. I have used past photos with great effect to try and see people differently.
I have manifested a constant stream of work, £500, many little things like free eyedrops and bus rides, Jury service 
, a man with rainbow coloured glasses, weight loss, face changes, videos from Athena, strange car sightings, money for my Mum, good health, a reward ceremony, continuing abundance and many other things besides including last but no means least my relationship with my SP, who is and always will be the love of my life.
I can’t tell you the amount of times I nearly caved and messaged Athena for coaching but I believed and believe I can do this on my own and so does Athena, that’s why she works so hard to give us all the tools we need.
For anyone struggling with manifestation I would say the things that helped me were testing the law, having a manifestation materialize is a high like no other and gives you proof it works. I would also say that manifesting is a way of life and when you really get to grips with it other things will naturally start to happen like telethapy.
Finally I would say it is always about the self. It’s not about the person who will make your life better or the car or the money or the house. It’s about being who you were always meant to be and being limitless within. Your manifestations are supplements to a life that is beautiful already.
We are all successes already, we just have to embrace it.
Thank you to Athena and Joseph from all of us, we love you and appreciate you so much for all that you do.
Many thanks,
