The Power of Belief To Transform Your Experience

By David Neagle 

I just had a great conversation with a friend who was telling me about some business associates who have had a complete turn around on their dream.
A few months ago, they were enthusiastic and on fire for their future. Unfortunately, they didn't keep their mental doors locked... and something negative slipped in, and they dropped the pursuit of their dream.
All failure begins this way.
People may have high hopes, but when their perceived circumstances suggest a lesser outcome is more likely (perhaps via an unexpected obstacle), this perceived discrepancy becomes the initial seed of failure.
Being unaware of how this process destroys the dreams of countless people, they fall victim to its seduction.
Take a look at what happens and how this process works:
1. We all have two parts in our thinking: One is our dream or goal, and the second is the belief that it might not ever happen. This is where most people start out.
2. Next, something begins to spark or inspire a person to take action on their dream. (Yet, not having a full understanding of the Laws of Success, they are actually moving in the direction of their dream with a great deal of ignorance. Ignorance is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as a person stays open to what he/she must learn along the way. The problem is many individuals are not open to growth and change.)
3. Their subconscious manifests an obstacle to keep them from experiencing anything "new". This new challenge is perceived as a point of failure.
It is at this point in a person's journey where moving forward becomes too painful or fearful, and a person usually chooses to stay "safe". The truth, however, is that this is also the point where moving forward would allow a person to see the bigger win they are hoping for!
You see, YOUR beliefs control your perception of everything in your world, which in turn creates your reality. If you want to change your reality, you must use new information to change your beliefs AND your perception. Until you see things differently, you will continue to makes choices that keep you where you are. And eventually, you will give up on your dreams.
In other words, your experiences reflect your belief system. This means that if there is anything in your life you don't want to experience all you need to do to change "it" is to change the belief that caused "it" in the first place!
In theory, it's really simple... but in practice, many people find it difficult because they really don't understand all beliefs are nothing but illusions anyway. But these illusions are so strong people think that they are real when actually they are not.
The power of belief is astounding. I encourage you to study its mysteries for yourself and see what changes you truly do have the power to make.

The Magic of Positive Expectation

By Kate Corbin 

"Anybody who ever succeeded at anything came to a place of expecting success." - Abraham-Hicks
In January of this year, my sister called to tell me about a Friends & Family special her chiropractor was running. For $11, he was offering an exam, a full set of x-rays and a chiropractic adjustment. All this for $11? How could I say no? The exam revealed and the x-rays confirmed that I have a scrunched up, compressed lower right spine. I wasn't really surprised because, although I hadn't mentioned it to him, this area of my back is occasionally painful and I tend to "baby" it.
As he explained the treatment process, it felt like solid support that could enhance my own healthy lifestyle and I felt intuitively that the time was right to get my spine aligned. I mean, I get my car aligned, don't I? Why not my body? And, as a Law of Attraction Coach and practitioner, I'm all about alignment.:-] So I signed up for a year of chiropractic care and set my most positive intention for a happy, healthy, perfectly aligned spine.
Although I started chiropractic treatments with great enthusiasm and hope for magnificent results, after three months, I found myself wondering if it was really going to help me. I started thinking maybe it won't do much after all and I'll be disappointed.
This led me to the huge realization that I have a disappointment vibe which has convinced me, at various times in my life, that something will not work out for me and, therefore, it hasn't. I saw clearly those occasions where I had given myself fully over to the disappointment vibe so that something I had wanted very much resulted in disappointment.
Aha! I realized anew that it is absolutely up to me to continue to believe, to continue to desire, to continue to focus on the result I want and, therefore, to bring that result out of pure potential. I realized on a much deeper level that I have a choice about how things work out. I realized that it does not matter how masterful the chiropractor is. If I'm disallowing a positive outcome, it will not happen.
Fast forward another three months. Although I had staved off the disappointment vibe for a while, it started to creep back in -- "maybe it won't really do much after all. Oh, well, I tried." -- that sort of thing. This led to even deeper clarity about my power to choose. I can stay the course and maintain positive expectation OR I can give up and give in to disappointment.
It's like the Abraham-Hicks story about the journey from Phoenix to San Diego. They talk about how we get to the halfway point, around Yuma, feel discouraged and go back to Phoenix. Somewhere in our journey, our old programming about not being able to have what we want kicks in. It seems easier at that point to give up and go back where we started. The problem is that "going back to Phoenix" only strengthens and deepens our old programming for disappointment.
"You must train yourself into positive expectation. You must train yourself to only expect to succeed." - Abraham-Hicks
So here I am in Yuma - at the halfway point in my year of chiropractic. From here, I see my choices. I can give in to the disappointment vibe and disallow the positive outcome I desire OR I can use my power to choose positive expectation and continue to stay focused on what I want. As I become aware of my old programming and acknowledge what's actually at stake here, I can consciously choose to keep moving forward. I can consciously choose to create new neural pathways for positive expectation to replace the old neural pathways for disappointment.
This is where my power lies. When I choose to "keep heading for San Diego" filled with positive expectation, I'm choosing to believe I really can have what I want. And this choice and this belief make all the difference in the world.

6 Important Questions That Can Improve Your Life Quality

By Rolf Trondhjem

Financial pressures can induce stress-related illness, impact your study performance and productivity and restrict your chances to build career shifts.
As a fact:
* 35-40% out of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
* Financial trouble is the #1 cause of divorce
* Workers rated personal finance as the #1 root of stress
* 4 out of 10 Americans say they live beyond their means (Strong Employee Assistance Program, 2007)
With all this in mind:
* Would you like to make more money?
* Have you tried to shift your mental attitude in order to achieve financial security?
* Would you wish to save yourself from latent divorcement?
* Do you have the talent and drive, but find things merely don't seem to go your way of life?
* Have you tested other programs for making money only to be frustrated?
* Are you up for a programme to help assist your financial abundance that genuinely works?
If you answered yes to one or more of the above questions, you are open to unlock your right power to get all you prefer with The Sedona Method.
Did you ever noticed that two people with the identical background and education, in the same area, often perform very differently? Why?
Because of their mental attitude. Our feelings produce our thoughts, and our thoughts either place us into action or forbid us from acting.
Our feelings set our own draft for prosperity. See, hear and experience your negativism fade away on the spot.
When you perceive you are being held back by your negative thinking, whether in paying off your bills, negociate a deal, planning your financial goals or in making the steps to attain them, simply ask yourself the easy-to-learn and easy-to-remember queries that make up The Sedona Method.
You will feel the constriction leaving your stomach, shoulders and chest. In its situation, you will feel confidence, relaxation and clearness. You will no longer feel destructive, upset or out of control. You will feel more relaxed and fit to manage whatsoever life throws at you more easy.
The disturbance of your mind will subside, and you will have the clarity of mind to say and do what is appropriate and unaffected in order to control any life situation.
You will have a certain mental attitude without any attempt, thereby creating abundance emotionally and physically. You don't have to struggle to keep a beneficial mental attitude any longer. Although applying affirmations, subliminals and motivation do seem to work in helping you proceed in the direction of thinking more positively, you will see there is a greater way, called The Sedona Method.
The Sedona Method is based on the premiss that we do not have to program self-confident thinking. All we need to do is to release our normal positive nature. Let's analyze the options to exploiting your positive thinking power:
I. You can affirm the positive. Practicing positive thinking sentences involves a sizeable, continual effort to remember and repeat the exact positive words over and over again. It is also only layering positive thoughts on top of the existing negative ones, which clogs up your brain with a lot of needless extra noise.
II. Subliminal programming. Although it may seem simple just to plop in a subliminal tape and make it reprogram your unconscious, practising this comes with risks. Firstly, if you buy pre-made subliminal tapes, you actually don't know what is in the subliminal messages. You are at the mercy of the people who made the tape recording and their consciousness. Not only that, this form actually only layers supposedly "positive" thinking on top of the existing negative thoughts, which only clogs your brain with a bunch of unneeded extra disturbance.
III. Motivation. Have you ever gotten really pumped up by some motivational presentation only to have it wear off in hours or, at the most, days later? Motivation works merely while you are being motivated. It too makes you based on someone or something outside of yourself to retain you motivated. Even self-motivation only temporarily overrides the existing negative.
IV. Your solution to pure positive thinking power and attaining financial security: The Sedona Method.
The scientifically tested Sedona Method is an elegant, easy-to-learn, do-it-yourself system that will teach you how to tap your normal ability to let go of any devastating thought or feeling on the spot.
It can be used in life to achieve blistering relief from the effects of negative thinking whenever it's keeping you back from performing at your greatest.
The Sedona Method supports you to easily stop the patterns of thought and behavior that stimulate your self-sabotage to reoccur and prevent you from getting what you want, including financial safety.
The Sedona Method also contains several really powerful instruments for making decisions and accomplishing goals. As you practice your natural power to release, you'll create a strong, positive psychical posture that will serve you succeed where others might fail, even in today's rapidly changing economic times.
Will The Sedona Method work for You?
As you use the Method, you will discover over time that the real situations and experiences that you used to find the most exhausting or disturbing will get less and less so, until you may even forget that you used to have those sorts of experiences.

30 Second Present Moment Exercise

By Beth Cuje 

OUR FOUR CAR TRAIN
Our body, emotions, mind, and will, are like train cars. When one car goes off the track, the other three jump the track also.
Do you want a simple, but effective way to keep your self "on track?"
The secret rests with how you manage your body (stress), emotions, mind, and will/desires.
It's fair to say that a great challenge in life is learning to manage the reactions of the four parts of us so that we stay aware and present to the moment--mindful.
Imagine executing, at regular intervals during the day, a 30 second exercise where you are reminded to bring your mind to the present moment and relax.
SOME EXAMPLES
- You're at a business meeting and you remember to be present, so you take 30 seconds to scan your body, discovering that your jaw is tight and your mind is racing because soon it will be your turn to speak... so you take three deep breaths and relax your jaw, neck, and shoulders. In this case, you manage your body and get all your "cars" back on track
Or, it is breakfast time. You are eating your toast and feeling anxious about your teenager who broke curfew last night. Right then you are reminded to come back to the present moment. So you stop, label what your emotions (fear and anger) and spend the next 30 seconds breathing and relaxing your body. In this example, instead of going off the track with anxiety and anger, you interrupt that negative emotion, let go of it and shift to a more productive way of handling the situation.
- While you're talking to a friend, you remind yourself to take some slow breaths, quiet your mind, and stop your thinking about the time you have to get back home. Instead, and you're prompted to just listen to him/her. What do you think will happen? What do you think will change within and outside yourself? For sure, you will be more intimate and available with this friend.
-Your partner is criticizing you. You want to get away and avoid an argument at any cost. Instead, you take some deep breaths and remind yourself to speak the truth with kindness.Your desire to resolve the problem is greater than your need to be right. Quietly you ask him or her to listen to your side of the story.
IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY TO DO
It is probably hard to do this 30-second exercise every minute of the day; however, doing it every hour may not be farfetched.
Is this too much? Can you take 30 seconds to scan yourself and bring your mind back to the moment you are presently living and experiencing?
It is true that sometimes things come at us so fast and furious they cannot be easily managed. However, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain if we train ourselves to manage our body, emotions, mind, and desires well.
SOME TIPS
Here are some tips to help you get the best out of every 30-second exercise:
- Body: Pay attention to your posture and if there is tension somewhere. Use slow deep breaths to manage your tensions
- Emotions: Identify if you are angry, sad, frustrated, happy, calm, stressed, etc. Research shows that just labeling the an emotions takes away some of its power.
- Thoughts: Recognize that you are stewing, rehashing, or making up hurtful ideas and pictures in your mind. Are you dwelling in the past or lost in the future? Use this as a cue to look for possibilities options, and strengths instead.
- Will/Desires: Where are you? Are you trying inappropriately to avoid or control a person, thing, or problem? Here's hint. Looking for the truth of the situation with compassion for yourself and others will always make things better in the long run..
After checking these 4 things, take a deep breath. You're done. Remember, if you get one train car back on track the other three will get on track, too.
No one can force you to do this exercise; there is no sense in that. You must set an intention to do it for a day, every hour of that day, to see what happens... believe me, it is worth it!

3 Steps to Tracking Your Dreams Successfully

By Rochelle Holloman

Do you forget your dreams when you awaken? Most people don't remember their dreams. If you are one of those persons, then maybe what you need is this information to help you track your dreams successfully and even remember them. Once you get into the habit, it will be easier. Keeping a dream log or diary is a great tool to use to assist you.
Below are steps to take that can help you track and remember your dreams.
1. Before you go to bed, have a pen and blank pad or a sheet of paper at your bedside. (it's okay if you prefer to keep your dream log or diary instead). If you think you be better off with a tape recorder instead of writing, then do so. You will have to still put it in your log. Avoid heavy meals and lots of fluids before retiring. Avoid stressful situations, these tend to make you have night mares. Try reading to make it easier for you to fall asleep. Relax and be as peaceful as you can. Avoid sleeping aides (sleeping pills) or alcohol because you will more than likely forget your dream once you awaken.
2. Also, have some type of light at your bedside to see in case you awaken in the middle of the night with a dream. A flashlight will be fine if you don't have a lamp at your bedside that you can get to quickly.
3. As soon as you awaken start writing down your dreams. If you move to get out of bed you will surely forget it, unless it is a major dream (a major dream is one that is catastrophic in nature, a death or nightmare). Try not to think of anything but that dream. Write down keywords or a list of items or pointers that will make you remember the whole dream or at least a majority of it.
Remembering your dreams can be challenging. Analyzing or interpreting your dream can be also be frustrating if you don't know how. As stated the major obstacle or problem is remembering it. There are many interpretations of dreams. Sometimes you will need a combination of books or other sources to help in deciphering what your dream really means. Sometimes after analyzing your dream, it still does not make any sense until you have successfully followed them for a while. Try to track your dreams on a regular basis, that way it won't feel so difficult or complex.

An Anger Management Class Can Help Boost Your Emotional IQ

By Joe James 

An anger management class isn't necessarily the sort of thing that only violent people have to go through. It's a class that really anybody can benefit and profit from. Everybody can, because everybody carries some form of anger; it's a raw emotion that's universal. Countless movies and stories have been produced around just this emotion; in fact, some would say that it's an eternal even essential part of being a person. So it's a little surprising that there's this notion out there that anger management class is really for the misfits of society, those that can't "handle their anger issues" (whatever that means). It's funny and odd, because we don't really say that about other things that are (so to say) "human."
To be blunt, intercourse is quite human; it's quite universal; it's quite essential and quite a normal thing for people to engage in. But as the wee ones in society grow and age, mature, they are educated about sex and the norms that surround this topic. It's odd, why don't we feel that way about anger and our emotions? Why aren't anger management courses provided to adolescents, when (arguably) their emotions are raging at their wildest and most outrageous? In fact, the mounting consensus is that this is required. In fact, there's an established term for attempting to grade this. It's called "emotional IQ." And at an early age, people are beginning to take notice of these markers in emotional behavior and management (or rather mismanagement). And it's a good step forward. See, an anger management class isn't ever only about anger; these courses are always about the full range of emotions, and the sweeps from one emotion to the next.
It's important that people that are taking these classes realize this, in order to make the most of what they're "studying." And we say studying here, not to be condescending, but again, because there's that sort of misconception out there, that anger and the full range of emotions, aren't worth tackling in this structured way. You do have to realize that there will be a lot of these opportunities to make good, on your emotional awareness, and to this end, there are plenty of resources about which anger management class to take up (since not all of them are the same). There are important resources and authorities out there, for folks that have been court ordered to seek out assistance with their emotions as well. In those cases, a counselor (appointed or not) will be able to point to the correct kind of content regarding anger management class on the web, because there is a lot out there on this subject, and it's important to keep on the straight and narrow while you're looking up this kind of information.

Take Action: Dealing With Emotional Triggers

By April E O'Leary

One of the most challenging steps anyone can take in the process of goal achievement, parenting, financial success, career advancement, weight loss, emotional health or any such personal endeavor is realizing that triggers are not external annoyances as much as they are internal indicators. Once you accept that it is your responsibility to deal with your own triggers, and the best (and only) way to do this is by looking inside of you, rather than trying to control your outside circumstances or the people around you, you are ready to take action!
MAKE A LIST OF ALL YOUR TRIGGERS
The second step to dealing with triggers is to take action and make a complete list of all the triggers you notice that surface in your life on a regular basis. How do you know if something is a trigger? The litmus test to identify a trigger is if you are responding emotionally. Maybe at 5:00 everyday you are impatient to the point of yelling at your children? Maybe when the topic of money comes up with your spouse you get defensive? Maybe when you talk politics with your father you get angry? Maybe there are certain types of people you can't tolerate? Maybe certain foods cause an emotional response? Don't overlook it. Write it down.
It is best to compile as long and complete a list as possible, so you can really SEE on paper what you are dealing with. Think of situations, people and locations. Think of topics of conversation. Try to notice patterns. The idea is that the list of triggers opens up your awareness. Maybe your children fighting causes you to jump in and play referee, so you write it down. Then the next day you notice this same thing happening again. Ah! There it is! You noticed it again. Now you are making progress!
It is not better if it is a short list, or worse if it is a long list. The fact that you are taking ownership of your reactivity and trying to identify personal patterns is in short, amazing! For now it is enough to just make the list. Don't worry about what to do next. That will come. For now, keep listing. Keep a paper taped inside of your kitchen cabinet and add to it over time. After you react, think about it. Try to identify what it was that triggered you and write it down. Congratulate yourself for having the courage to look more deeply and start slowing down when you sense a trigger is coming on. You'll be amazed how slowing down will diffuse a lot of those trigger moments.

How to Manifest Your Dreams and Desires

By Lianne Fernandes

Welcome Dear Friend to my world of manifestation. Have you ever wondered how to manifest your very own desires with ease? Have you read about the Law of Attraction and do you truly believe in it? Or do you believe in what you have been programmed to believe through religion, society, family and friends. My dear friends I strongly believe in my God and I know that my God wants the best for all of us. He has given us the power to create our destinies by giving us our own powerful minds. You are much more powerful than you may realize. Now even if you do not believe in God that's okay because these are universal laws and it's for all of us out there in the world. You can manifest your desires, transform your life 360 degrees and impact your world in astonishing ways. For this change you need faith, unwavering faith and positive thoughts. However thinking positive thoughts, believing as if it is already yours etc are not enough because Manifestation is About Alignment...
The Alignment that I'm talking about is the Conscious and Subconscious Alignment. Your Conscious desires and your Subconscious intention must match and have the same vibration. If your Conscious Mind wants money and your Subconscious Mind believes that money is the root of all evil (counter-intention) then it is impossible to create what you want. It's that simple, so all you need to do is start working on altering those limiting, negative pre-programmed beliefs to newer more positive beliefs. You can alter your old subconscious beliefs by repeating positive affirmations and thus raising their vibrations to match your conscious vibrations and becoming completely aligned. If you know what your conscious mind wants and work on your negative subconscious beliefs you will indeed create your own world, you will manifest your desires and dreams.
I would like to share with you a technique I use to align my Conscious and Subconscious thoughts. Whenever I catch myself thinking a negative thought I immediately scream CANCEL, CANCEL in my mind and think of any thought that puts a smile on my face i.e. I replace the negative thought with a happy thought. Once the happy thought brightens up my mood, which happy thoughts always do I start repeating and visualizing a positive affirmation opposite to that earlier negative thought. There are times I add a tune to the affirmation and sing it. To give you an example: I am thinking about not having enough money a negative thought right, so I immediately say cancel, cancel in my mind or if I'm at home I say it out loud and then think of my angelic daughter showering hugs and kisses on me. Once I feel better with thoughts about my baby girl I repeat and visualize one of the many affirmations I have. The affirmation may say I am swimming in the ocean of abundance and I always have money when I need it, or more money flows into my life than flows out. You can create your own affirmations but keep them in the present tense.

Have You Got Your Energy Balance Right?

By Dr Lisa Turner 

Did you know that your success in life is largely down to having a good balance of both masculine and feminine energy? When you have too much or too little of one it can cause your life to seize up like a very stuck thing, or wreak havoc and chaos.
Masculine energy is...
Rational Thought, Logic, Systems, Process, Control, Heat, Stillness, Light, Discipline, Steady State, Status Quo, Consciousness, Structure, Order. It says "NO".
Feminine energy is...
Creative, Inspired, Raw Power, Cool, Dark, Movement, Change, Flexibility, Chaos, Intuition, Permitting, Dynamic. It says "YES".
For example, a project will be a success if you take inspired creativity (feminine energy) and channel it systematically, with a logical plan (masculine energy). The result is you have fabulous finished project. But when the balance is out the result could be very different.
Here are some of the signs your energy is out of balance.
Too Much Feminine Energy

1. Fuzzy thinking, you can't concentrate, start things but then get distracted and fail to finish things. Is your home or office full of unfinished projects?
2. You can't focus, you have lots of projects on the go at the same time.
3. You say yes to things and later regret it.
4. You find it really difficult to make decisions, and agonise over them for days, weeks or months.
5. You are disorganised, lose things, forget things or have a "head like a sieve". Sometimes you can't even remember what you said in a meeting yesterday or last week.
6. Your life is rather chaotic, with your days lacking structure or plans.

Too Much Masculine Energy

1. You find it very hard to take risks, even if you know it's the right thing and miss great opportunities as a result. Have you ever kicked yourself for saying no to something that later turned out to be a great idea?
2. You like to have everything planned out to the last detail. You get very stressed when you have to change your plans at short notice or if there isn't a plan.
3. When circumstances change and you need to adapt, you often don't notice until it's too late.
4. Others accuse you of being rigid, inflexible or a stickler for rules.
5. You like to know the "rules" and what's expected. You can't stand it when things seem to be disorganised or if others are making it up as they go along.
6. You regularly try to make changes in your life, but things just go back to how they were.

Signs You Have Low Energy Generally

1. You try to manifest money, or things but it never works
2. Others don't listen or ignore to you. You lack power, authority and presence.
3. At the end of the day you have been really busy and are exhausted but have little or nothing to show for it.
4. You attract lots of interest and attention but it's often from people who you really don't want to be around. You find them repellent, but can't seem to shake them off as they stick to you like glue and keep showing up wherever you go.
5. Your personal relationships aren't working or nonexistent.
6. You try to get the attention of people who you know will be able to help you and they give you the brush off, you can't connect with them.
7. You are very spiritual but find it hard to bring your spiritual insights into physical reality. You have great spiritual wisdom, but no-one will listen to you.

But when your energy is working, and you can maintain a dynamic balance of both polarities, success becomes almost inevitable.
