Instead of focusing on multiple small desires, imagine one overarching feeling (like ecstasy) that implies the fulfillment of all those smaller desires. Condense this feeling into a single sensation or phrase, such as 'Isn't it wonderful!', and repeat it while suspending the reasoning mind's need to know the 'why' or 'how'.

Instead of imagining wealth, health and friends, imagine being ecstatic. You could not be ecstatic and be in pain. You could not be ecstatic and be threatened with a dispossession notice. You could not be ecstatic if you were not enjoying a full measure of friendship and love. What would the feeling be like were you ecstatic without knowing what had happened to produce your ecstasy? Reduce the idea of ecstasy to the single sensation, "Isn't it wonderful!" Do not allow the conscious, reasoning mind to ask why, because if it does it will start to look for visible causes, and then the sensation will be lost. Rather, repeat over and over again, "Isn't it wonderful!" Suspend judgment as to what is wonderful. Catch the one sensation of the wonder of it all and things will happen to bear witness to the truth of this sensation. And I promise you, it will include all the little things.

This technique leverages the principle that a grand, encompassing feeling of joy or ecstasy implicitly includes all the smaller desired conditions (health, wealth, love). By focusing on the feeling of the end without questioning the means, one allows the subconscious to manifest the comprehensive state, including all its components.
