1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS

A beautifully maintained 1973 example of one of the most desirable Ferrari Dinos ever built is set to go up for auction next month as part of RM Sotheby’s Monte Carlo sales event. Adding to its allure is the fact that it was once owned by famous French actress and model Laetitia Casta.

Halfway through its third decade, Ferrari decided it was time to build a high-performance vehicle for the masses. The result was the 206 GT, a stylish road car introduced in 1967 that was powered by a V-6 that would be sold under the Dino marque (which was named after Enzo Ferrari’s son). It would be replaced two years later by the more capable 246 GT and GTS. There may have been some initial skepticism about the accessibly priced models, but that eventually dissipated, and the brand’s stature has only grown in the decades since. Among the most desired Dinos is the exclusive “Chairs and Flares” version of the 246 GTS, which was identifiable by its Daytona-style seats (the “chairs”) and extended wheel arches (the “flares”).

The particular example is one of just 91 US spec 246 GTS cars built with “chairs and flares.” Its curvaceous body, widened arches and removable targa top are all finished in a beautiful coat of attractive Rosso Cordoba, Ferrari’s version of burgundy. Headlined by sporty Daytona-style seats, the tan-over-black leather interior is no less impressive. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the cabin comes complete with air conditioning and power windows, making it one of the first examples delivered to the US with those amenities. (Hey, it was 1973.)

The Dino 246 GTS may only be powered by a 2.4-liter V-6, but it has some real pep. Its mill is mated to a five-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear axle and generates a respectable 190 hp and 166 ft lbs of torque. The engine underwent a polish and retune in ‘80s and appears to be in good shape.

Although it was originally shipped to California after leaving Ferrari’s Scaglietti plant, this Dino made its way back to Europe during the 1990s. Eventually it ended up in the hands of Casta, though it’s unclear if the actress ever drove the car, since she had no license. The auction house suggests she bought it because she liked how it looked, and honestly, it’s easy to see why.

If you’re looking to add a stunner to your collection, the 246 GTS “Chairs and Flares” will hit the block on May 14. RM Sotheby’s is selling the car without reserve, but considering its condition and how much well-maintained Dinos can fetch, we wouldn’t be surprised if it hammers down for more than $400,000.

THE FORMULA: Activate numerous brain regions (energy/frequency being emitted) + form more neural connections (new reality forming) + rewire previous neural connections (old reality) =  MANIFEST! ✨

I’m so happy that many of you are interested in how to use Neuroscience to manifest! I am eager to share with you how to take your manifestations to the next level  Few people know this information, which is a huge problem because as an individual, you possess so much power and no one knows how to effectively use it. 
I have written this step by step guide to manifesting a life of luxury. If you are doubtful, I encourage you all to try this for 30 days, and see the difference in your life. I am 100% confident this will work for you.

Give it a try. After all,what do you have to lose?  

The first thing I want to ensure you all understand is that depending on what you are manifesting, the approach will be different.  The nervous system is extremely complex. With that being said, I made this guide to focus more on living a luxurious life because manifesting luxury is one of the easiest things to manifest. So is money, but that’s a topic for another day.

1. Define Luxury. [motor neurons, dorsal parietal cortex, frontal + temporal lobe, feedback loop]

Begin by writing out what luxury means to you! Is it lots of wealth? Shopping trips each weekend? Being spoiled? Self care? Lots of fun and new adventures? Write. It. Out.  Be sure to write this in present tense. Example: “I love my luxurious life! I shop every single weekend, and eat at the most exquisite restaurants everyday!”.

Script EVERY single day during these 30 days. Do not skip! Your mind has thousands of thoughts a day, some that still contain limiting beliefs (that you may not be aware of!). If you are not actively rewiring your brain each day for luxury, you are putting yourself at a disadvantage. If you do this now, in the future, your brain will automatically project luxury because it has been wired to. 

Neuroscience behind it: Scripting is more effective than just speaking affirmations because you are not only writing them, you are simultaneously reading.
Writing = giving. Reading = receiving. By scripting you have unknowingly created a neural feedback loop! This is the beginning of the formation of your new reality. 
Avoid writing the same phrases every single day, otherwise habituation may occur (very common with verbal affirmations). Habituation will lead to less neural firing. This is why reciting the same 10 affirmations each day, everyday eventually stops working. Switch it up! 

2. Emotional Visualization. [visual association cortex/VAC, limbic system, hippocampus]

Now, associate emotions with luxury. What emotions do you feel when you thinkof luxury? What emotions do you feel when you experienceluxury?Comfort? Bliss? Relaxation? Security? Pride? Choose at least 3 emotions if possible.

Next, visualize a scene with these emotions. This scene should be short, less than 10 seconds. It can be something as simple as you purchasing a designer bag! Just be sure to be feelingthe emotions fully. There is no point in absentmindedly visualizing with no emotion. The goal is to trick your brain into believe it is really occurring. 

Neuroscience behind it: If you manage to evoke a strong enough emotion, it has the potential to become a memory in the hippocampus. Create a memory of luxury in your brain, so it can be retrieved and projected by your subconscious at any time. 

Visualize every night as you are falling asleep. This is the best time to visualize! Most coaches will tell you to enter Theta state to manifest– which is true. However, I want you to aim to enter DELTA. This will take some practice, but will really help your manifestations.   

If you struggle with experiencing emotions while visualizing, a trick I like to do is think of something that makes me happy, then when I feel that happiness, I switch to the scene I am visualizing and carry the emotion over  

3. Self Care [afferent neurons, limbic system, frontal lobe]

Aim to always live in a wish fulfilled state. The easiest way to do this when manifesting luxury is devoting yourself to self care. Some examples include:

- Waking up 15 minutes early to meditate/do yoga in the morning
- Enjoying hot tea and journaling 
- Getting a facial
- Taking a bubble bath
- Getting a massage
- Protecting your energy/setting up boundaries (less negative interactions = more positive emotions)

Neuroscience behind it: By activating your afferent neurons (“sensory” neurons), the signal will automatically travel throughout your nervous system, and activate the limbic system (emotional network). The positive sensations you are experiencing will lead to positive emotions in the limbic system. This system is also related to the manifestation of behavior. This is why when those are experiencing altered realities (through use of psychedelic drugs, schizophrenia) the limbic system is heavily involved. Therefore, if you give yourself these luxurious experiences, your brain will have no choice but to spit out luxurious EMOTIONS, luxurious BEHAVIOR, luxurious REALITIES. Is it all starting to come together now?

If this is a confusing concept, let me share a real-life, medical example with you all: I encountered a patient last month who had Pica due to anemia. She was craving soil/clay and had started eating it. So what happened here?
Her body was anemic —> her brain picked up the imbalance/signals of the anemia —> her brain created the desire (emotions) for her to consume dirt —> the behavior manifested into reality because her brain kept getting the signals that she was anemic. The constant thoughts/desire REWIRED her brain until it manifested into her reality.

4. Relax. Don’t. React. Don’t. Doubt. [All reactions = firing of neurons. Neurons that FIRE together, WIRE together!]

The biggest mistake people make while manifesting is when they have a less preferable emotion or thought, they REACT. You might quickly rush to change the thought to a positive one, thinking if you quickly change the thought, the “universe” won’t hear the doubt you experienced.

This is amusing to me, because all you are doing is making your neurons react more. Because that second of panic you felt as you quickly tried to change the thought was millions of neurons firing to correct that one moment of doubt. You created a cascade over one little thing.

Relax  If you ever doubt yourself, or think something that does not match the frequency of what you are manifesting, simply observe the thought. Allow those neurons involved with the thought to finishtheir cascade.
Your neurons are like children: they repeat whatever they hear. And if they’ve been hearing one thought for so long (a less preferable one), they will naturally fire that thought even if you haven’t been thinking about it for a while. Why? Because that was what they were wiredto do.
Silly neurons. 
Whenever you have a less preferable thought or doubt creeps your mind: allow it. Welcome it. Do not scramble to change the thought. Scrambling will only cause chaos and resistance. 
Instead, mentally tell yourself, “Thank you for showing me what I have ascended from.” And begin experiencing one of your short visualizations regarding luxury. Be gentle with your brain. You are one. You are the operant power.

5. Essential Catalysts [rewiring neurons, neuroplasticity, synaptic pruning apoptosis]

The easiest way to make your manifestations occur faster is to introduce essential catalysts to disrupt your old frequencies and neural circuitry. If you have been stuck in a certain mindset for a long time (depression, poverty, low self esteem) you cannot expect these neural connections to just “disappear” because you avoid thinking about them. You must do one of two things: 

- Rewire the neurons (because your brain is “plastic” and can change always!)
or
- Synaptic pruning (elimination of synapses/connections that we no longer use). 
Eventually neurons will naturally die (apoptosis). Avoid doing anything that will cause cell death prematurely because you probably will end harming neurons you needin the process. 

At least 3 times during the week, do something you would not normally do. Although this can be anything, I recommend the following:

- Eat at a restaurant you have never tried before
- Make a new friend each week
- Sign up for a class (such as dance, painting, or yoga)
- Explore the upscale areas near where you live
- Take a bubble bath

I wish you all luck on your journey to luxury. Please update me on how your progress is going. I hope I explained it thoroughly and simplistically. If there are any further questions, you are all welcomed to submit them   Lots of love.

I’m so happy manifestation has become a widespread concept because it has changed so many people’s lives for the better. One of my goals for 2021 is to share my knowledge with others. Many of you lovely Goddesses who follow me desire a blissful life full of ethereal energy and luxury  This is very simple to achieve! However, I do know some still struggle with their manifestations. I wish to share a few of my manifestation secrets today so you may manifest a life of luxury forever and always. ✨

1.Manifestation/Law of Assumption/Law of Attraction is all rootedinNeuroscience. To obtain a basic grasps of Neuroscience would take ~6-9 months (if you have a scientific background). I have a pretty solid background in Neuroscience, and even I must say it’s not a subject that can be skimmed or taken lightly.

Most people do not have this background, which is why Manifestation Coaches fail to convey the proper way to manifest, and how manifestation actually works. Without this element, you may find that sometimes your manifestations occur very quickly, while other times it may seem like it does not occur at all (it does!). When you know and master this concept, you will laugh at how easy manifestation can be! :) Would you Goddesses be interested in me explaining this more? Please let me know 

2. What exactly is luxury? It is easy to describe it as an object or entity, but perhaps a little more difficult to express as an emotion. Take a moment to describe luxury emotionally. 
The next time you visualize, root your visualization with those emotions.

I describe luxury as a state of absolute bliss and comfort. Are you able to feel these two emotions right now? Or are they difficult to convey? 

3. Be gentle to the flower = your vessel. Your being. Attracting luxury cannot blossom fully if you are not gentle to your body. Are you nourishing yourself? Or do you push yourself to the brink of exhaustion? I think we have all been guilty of this at one point!
My uncle told me last week that I am so fragile, I must be handled as if I am an “egg”. I found that very funny! But he was 100% right. I have treated my vessel delicately for so long, others have taken notice, and do the same. After all, you would not treat a luxury item roughly, correct? Why do you not treat yourself with a soft approach as well?

4. Scripting and visualization > verbal affirmations. This concept stems from Neuroscience (Hebbian Learning). To keep it basic: cells that fire together, wire together. Wire those neurons for luxury by doing something that will cause them to fire! Scripting and visualizing creates a more dramatic cascade than just verbalizing affirmations in your head. Activate more brain regions —> wire more neurons —–> rewire your brain (i.e. your reality) —–> manifest luxury! Isn’t it so simple? 

5. Disrupt your current timeline. If you live a mundane life, one that has become fairly routine– change it. Do things that you would not normally do, whether it’s something big like starting your own business, or something small like trying a new restaurant. These minor disruptions are essential catalysts.Some may disagree and say that you “don’t need to do anything” in order to manifest.
This is false. Especially if you have been stuck in the same timeline for awhile! Disrupt, disrupt, disrupt. If the road you have always taken is blocked, you will be forced to take another. 

I am wishing you all a wonderful New Year. Please let me know if you would like more of these posts! I do love sharing about Neuroscience and manifestation
