How I Won at Roulette, My Trip to Vegas & Other Miracles

I heard this Abraham clip a couple of months ago, where this woman has a friend who is so aligned with winning at roulette and then she herself got into that vibe and started winning, too:


So a few days before going on my Vegas trip last month, I listened to this clip over and over and over again until I understood the spiritual principles behind the winning and I got myself into that vibe, too. I don't usually gamble, but this trip, I gave myself $20 to play with, just to see what would happen.

The day before the trip, I think it was, I was taking a shower and I noticed that the shower filter that a friend had installed for me years before had developed a hole on the side and was spraying water up at the ceiling. It seemed smarter to wait till I was done showering and was dried and clothed before attempting to remove the filter, but something told me it would be all right to do it right then—I had a really strong impulse. So I shut the water off and reached up to unscrew the filter, and everything went swimmingly—I reinstalled the shower head and turned on the water and the force of the spray, with nothing holding it back, was so strong, so delicious. The moment the water hit me, I had this sudden knowing—water is symbolic of wealth and by removing the filter from my shower and unobstructing the water flow, I had just opened up my money flow, too.

So I went to Vegas with GG and we were having a grand ole time. We were staying at Luxor and we spent the first day walking down the strip—went to the M&M store and the Coke store, then walked through the City Center for the first time. Saw a lot of cool stuff:

These dripping kind of lights are apparently very popular now—they were everywhere. I took a picture that didn't quite capture what I wanted to show, so ah! a movie!

On down to the Bellagio:

Outside of Caesar's Palace is this shrine to the Four-Faced Buddha. When I was in Thailand with my parents many years ago, the tour had taken us to the original shrine, and I learned from fellow tourmates that this Buddha is really good for making wishes comes true. So GG and I made our offerings and lit up some incense and prayed to all four faces. I wished for Health and Happiness and Wealth.

Well, the day had been so wonderful, everything flowing so smoothly, and I was just high as a kite on life and from praying to the Buddha when we walked inside Caesar's Palace. I was just feeling so good! We walked past a couple of roulette tables—one had some people there and the other just had the dealer waiting for players to come play with him. That table lit up bright for me.

I said to GG, "Do you want to play?"

He kept walking and said, "The minimum bet is kinda high for what I usually play."

I just felt too good, I wasn't going to let it go. "What if I played half? So it's just 5 bucks for you and 5 bucks for me."

He stopped walking and said, "Okay," and turned around and walked back to the tables, toward the one with people around it.

I said, "No, this one," and pulled him to the one with just the dealer.

GG took out $10 and gave it to the dealer in return for two $5 chips, which GG gave to me. I had never played roulette before and I was just so happy and eager as I placed both chips on number 29, just like in the Abraham clip.

The dealer looked surprised and said, "Just the one number?"

I said, "Yeah!" because I knew.

As he dropped in the little ball and spun the wheel, I hopped over and stood right in front of it to watch. As the wheel began to slow down, I saw the ball rolling over and then past the number next to 29 and I knew it was gonna plop right in. And it did.

I was so happy and excited I was jumping up and down, because of the win, yes, but also because I understood exactly what had just happened and the world, physical reality, is really just vibration and it's malleable and precise and I was aligned and I was workin' it!

The dealer was in total awe—he kept looking around to his fellow dealers at the other tables and repeating, "Played just one number and it hit!"

He paid us the $360 worth of chips that we won and reminded GG that the two chips on the table was ours, too. GG was in a daze as he tipped the dealer with those two chips. He had listened to the roulette clip, too, when I played it for him weeks before, so he knew what I was doing, but he didn't get it in quite the depth that I did, and this kinda twisted his brain a little bit. We began to walk away from the table, and then GG turned back and asked the dealer, "How often does that happen?"

The dealer thought a moment and replied, "Rarely."

I didn't need that confirmation that what had just happened was unusual, because it all made sense to me, so it really wasn't unusual. In fact, with practice, it will become very usual, hee hee!

More pictures from the rest of the trip...

I didn't have one of these, but they are so cute I just had to take pictures:

Went back to Bellagio for crepes at Jean Philippe—everything there looks so good!

They have this train running through their floral display with a camera on it and there's a little screen on the other side where you can see from the train's point of view, so I made GG go stand by the train so I could see him on the little screen:

I had such a good time on this trip. We were playing even on the shuttle to the car after we flew back:

This is a cool shot of the track in front of the shuttle, with us taking a picture of the track in the reflection:

You can see us in the display on the phone!

I'm noticing that ever since I got back on the Abraham teachings in August—listening to the YouTube clips like a maniac (even while brushing my teeth, cooking my meals), doing the Financial Well-Being meditation on the Guided Meditations CD every day, and paying attention to how I feel each moment and consciously practicing feeling better—life has just been more and more amazing and getting better and easier.

The week before going to Vegas, I received a message from my cousin in Hong Kong who's opened a new store called Bella Ricca. She bought out my entire Happy Moonmoon inventory, all the handmade stuff, plus my paintings! Yes, that's right!

With my shelves and mind clear and fresh now, new ideas and inspirations have been coming to me and I'm knitting again with such a fervor and eyeing other hand-sewing and hand-embroidery and fabrics and colors with a hunger—like Abraham says, the time for action is when wild horses can't hold you back, and that's what it feels like to me now. Creativity is calling! Yay!

That is a great story and I am very happy for you. I also had downloaded the vortex meditations when it first came out but since then my laptop crahed and I couldn't use it anymore and I haven't taken any action in getting another download, maybe I should and start listening to them again. I do like Abraham and I get a daily quote as well.
Many greetings, Frieda
