Are You Using the Guidance The Universe Is Sending You?

Original post 2-24-14

And the Universe plays this game with you EVERY single day.

But rather than say HOT or COLD, the Universe guides you with feelings. Positive feelings mean you’re moving towards something good for you. Negative feelings mean you’re headed in the wrong direction.

You may wake up one morning feeling negative about your job. The repetitive work is boring you, you feel under-appreciated, you just don’t feel you’re doing something you love. The negative feelings are a sign from the Universe that you need to change direction immediately. Changing direction does not mean quitting your job this instant – but it does mean you need to do something to fix your present situation.

You might feel the same way about your marriage, your career, your body, your home – the negative feelings are alarm bells going off. The Universe is saying “Warning Barbara , You’re thinking thoughts that are not the reality you wish to face. Keep thinking them and you’ll only increase the likelihood of these situations coming to you. You need to find a way to change your thoughts FAST!”.

Your Emotions are therefore, a warning system from your Soul. Pay attention to them, so that you’ll only attract into your reality things that are good for you. - 

The first technique for thought control is simply called Expressing Gratitude.

People who let the Law of Attraction work for them are a certain breed of people. You’ll recognize them when you meet them.

They are often positive, joyful, in awe of the world, and full of love and compassion.

Sure, they sometimes face bad moments – feelings of despair, grief or sorrow, but they bounce back quickly. They seem to relish life itself.

A simple way to help you move into this state of joy and positive vibes is to start thinking about what you have to be thankful for.

And believe me, you have a LOT to be thankful for.

You may look at your 2-bedroom apartment, cheap car and 15” inch TV and compare yourself to wealthy people living today and feel that you have barely made it.

But think about this – you are richer than the richest people in the world living just 200 years ago. They did not have a “horseless carriage” that could carry them wherever they wanted to go. They could not use a phone to instantly communicate with anyone – anywhere in the world. They did not have a “magic story-telling box”, what we would call a TV – to entertain them. 200 years ago, the amount of information that the average wealthy person could consume in a lifetime, would be no match for the amount you can consume in ONE DAY through the Internet.

You may have an average income – but you would not want to trade places with a “rich” man living just 200 years ago. You have much to be grateful for!

So to get the Law of Attraction working for you, express gratitude for what you have. Because here’s the BIG secret – when you express gratitude for what you have – you allow the Universe to give you more.

Wallace Wattles hit the nail on its head when he said, “People who order their lives rightly in all areas are kept in poverty because of their lack of gratitude. Having received one gift from God, they cut the ties that connect them to God by failing to make acknowledgement.”

Why this works is because when you express gratitude for what you have, you put YOURSELF in a frame of mind – one that’s of joy and expectancy. Because you now focus on what you HAVE rather than what you DON’T HAVE, the energy you’re sending out is I HAVE A LOT.

And in return the Law of Attraction has to reciprocate by giving you A LOT MORE.

Without gratitude, the energy you put out is I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH – and so, by the Law of Attraction, you’ll keeping losing more and more until you don’t have enough.

It’s really easy. Just decide to spend a few minutes each day to practice being thankful for what you have.

You could do it during:

• Your morning commute
• While in the shower
• Just before going to bed at night.
• In the morning, as soon as you wake up.

But what if something particularly bad happens – an accident or sudden illness?

What do you do then?

The solution is a technique called Energy Redirection

The danger is that bad things do sometimes happen – accidents, illnesses, bad breakups, being laid off work. When this happens and you dwell on the sudden bad situation – you just create negative energy that amplifies the bad situation and keeps you locked in it for longer. 

finding a way to change the negative thoughts into positive action. 

When faced with a bad situation – think of a way to turn it into a CHALLENGE.

Apply creativity to the situation and any negative event can be turned into an exciting challenge.

Now, we’re not saying you need to forget or ignore the negative event. That can sometimes be very hard to do. But by finding a challenge, a goal – something that can motivate and inspire you – you now re-allocate a large chunk of your energy away from the negative thoughts.

In other words, thoughts that would otherwise be obsessed with the negative event can now be redirected and focused on something positive.

Which Do You Practice - Unconscious Attraction or Conscious Attraction?

Originally posted on 2-24-14

Whatever you think about, whether it’s good or bad – you attract into your life.

Whether you want it or not is irrelevant – think about something you DON’T WANT and you attract it into your life.

Unconscious attraction is what happens when we let our uncontrolled thoughts run free.

Worry about getting out of debt – and that’s what you attract – MORE debt.

Worry about getting old – and you’ll start experiencing the effects of old age.

Worry about whether or not he or she loves you – and you attract uncertainty into your relationships.

Every worry just serves to bring to your reality that which you think about.

Worry and you’ll be sorry.

Now, this may sound scary…the idea that every unconscious thought you have attracts that which you think of into your life.

But don’t worry…because the reverse also happens.

Every happy, joyful thought is also attracting into your life the positive thing you’re thinking about.

But don’t worry…because the reverse also happens.

Every happy, joyful thought is also attracting into your life the positive thing you’re thinking about.

Now here’s the best part. There’s a simple formula we want you to understand:

What this formula means is that your thoughts, magnified by the EMOTIONS behind your thoughts, equal the things that you attract into your life.

Emotions are powerful. Thinking about a goal that you’re only half-excited about is not going to help you manifest that goal too fast. But think about a goal that really makes you excited…makes you weep with joy because the excitement of attaining it is so wonderful – NOW you’re adding power to your thoughts and really using the Law of Attraction.

If your thoughts are a vehicle to move you towards your goal – your emotions are the fuel that power this vehicle.

So the good news is that your positive thoughts, because they excite you so much more and often have much more emotions attached to them – tend to be a lot more powerful than your negative thoughts.

It is easier to attract the good than to attract the bad.

If the Law of Attraction is as simple as that, why aren’t more people wealthy, even gratified about the state their lives are in?

Well, most people don’t take personal responsibility for their present results. They honestly believe the cause of their current results lies outside of themselves, due to conditions or circumstances they have no control over.

Most people are ignorant of the Law: You attract into your life everything that is in harmonious vibration to you.

The key to mastering the Law of Attraction is to understand that you are responsible for everything in your life. EVERYTHING. At some level – consciously or unconsciously, you attracted every person, every job, every idea, every illness, every joy and every bit of pain into your life.

This leads to some interesting questions…do communities that are victims of crime waves or war attract these things into their lives? The answer is YES – but we’ll discuss that in more detail in lesson 3 when we talk about “Group Manifestation”

Once you Accept that You are the Maker of Your Own Reality, You Will See that You Have the Power to Change That Reality into Anything You Wish

The thoughts you just thought . . . the answers that surfaced before you could stop them . . . are responsible for programming your current results!

If you don’t like the results in your life, you need to change your thoughts. That’s ALL that the Law of Attraction is about.

This is an orderly universe. Nothing happens by accident. The images you plant in your marvellous mind instantly set up an attractive force, which govern your results in life.

You are a living, breathing magnet. As you read this article…. Things … Conditions … Circumstances and People you know – and even some you don’t know – are marching to you like obedient soldiers to aid in the manifestation of your images. Wouldn’t you prefer those soldiers helping you with your positive images?

A Simple Technique to Begin Escaping the Current Reality Trap

We want to share with you a simple exercise you can do to help correct your thoughts and move you towards more abundance.

Jane earns a decent income – but she’s not happy. She still has car payments, she wants to send her kids to a better school, she needs to save up for her graduate level education. But no matter how hard she works, she just never has enough. And to top it off – she owes the credit card companies tons of money.

Odds are – you know someone like Jane.

Most of us in Jane’s situation will start to focus on what we DON’T have. But the problem is, when you fuss and complain about not having enough – you attract more bills to pay.

Jane might set a goal to get out of debt. This, too, is the wrong approach …the goal of getting out of DEBT – keeps you forever in DEBT. You’re thinking debt, debt, debt – and that’s exactly what you attract into your life.

This is how Jane would change her mindset once she attains mastery of the Law of Attraction.

First she would change her goal. Her goal would no longer be “get out of debt.” Her goal would be “absolute financial freedom.” Now she’s focusing on a positive. She would spend a few minutes every morning just day-dreaming about what she’s going to do once she attains financial freedom.

The next thing Jane would do is auto-correct her negative thoughts. Her initial thought might be:

I’m so badly in debt – I don’t know what to do.

I don’t have enough to get the things I seek in life for myself and my family.

Slowly, she’d start correcting these thoughts:

I have a home, my kids are happy. I have a loving family.

I have a nice job with an opportunity for a raise.

I am healthy.

I shouldn’t feel so bad – many people don’t have a house or a loving family.

My debt will be paid off – when I start saving just a little bit every month.

There are people far worse off than I – 1 billion people worldwide have to survive on less than a dollar a day.

I’m grateful that I have a job and a middle-income lifestyle.

like the idea of being rich.

I’m grateful that I have a car, nice clothes, can eat 3 meals a day, and can take the occasional vacation – most people cannot afford this.

I can believe that more money and multiple streams of income will open up to me in the near future.

So, by gradually changing her view of her circumstances, Jane corrects herself from negative thinking to positive thinking.

Slowly, her thoughts and dreams get bolder:

I believe my talents will help me earn more income soon.

I will soon have a business for myself.

I can see myself owning a 6-bedroom home by 2014.

I will have one million in the bank within 5 years.

Jane has started shifting into a mindset that lets the Law of Attraction flow freely in her favor – rather than against her.

Notice that her thoughts essentially shift from:

I’m so badly in debt – I don’t know what to do.

to:

I will have one million in the bank within 5 years.

It’s a gradual shift, with small incremental boosts in your self-belief. But once you get started, you’ll notice that the positive thoughts begin to come faster and easier as you go along.

Tiny coincidences will begin to happen. Maybe Jane will get a small raise, or she’ll learn a way to control her debt from a chance meeting with a financial advisor. New ideas and opportunities will start flowing her way – this stream of coincidences are The Law of Attraction at work.

Watch out for them, embrace them and follow them – these tiny signs from the Universe will help give you the motivation and belief to keep moving towards greater and greater things.

The current results you have in your life are based on your current belief. Your present income is based on your belief of what you’re capable of earning. As you go through this program, you are going to re-evaluate what you see as truth … what you believe. When you re-evaluate a situation, you will find that your results will change. - See more at: http://www.thesgrprogram.com/lessons/2-lawofattraction#sthash.19Iq92jv.dpuf

Many Changes for Our Planet

originally posted 2-26-14


2012 brought many changes for our planet, our nation and each person individually. Living today is truly an adventure! Not all "adventures" are fun though. Some are troubling, deeply troubling. Those cause us to take a look at who we are, what we believe and what we're doing.

Here's my point:  As you think of these 'less than desirable' things, be aware, be cautious. Why? Because your thoughts are going to support one of two things: either change to a better status OR continued unpleasantness.

How do you do that? First, make your assessment of both facts and your feelings. Then turn your focus to thoughts / images of how you'd like things to be. KEEP your focus there. As we all do this, our influence and our actions change thus changing the world. Let's make our world better and better!

Meditate To Concentrate

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/06/070625193240.htm

ScienceDaily (June 26, 2007) — Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania say that practicing even small doses of daily meditation may improve focus and performance.

Meditation, according to Penn neuroscientist Amishi Jha and Michael Baime, director of Penn's Stress Management Program, is an active and effortful process that literally changes the way the brain works. Their study is the first to examine how meditation may modify the three subcomponents of attention, including the ability to prioritize and manage tasks and goals, the ability to voluntarily focus on specific information and the ability to stay alert to the environment.

In the Penn study, subjects were split into two categories. Those new to meditation, or "mindfulness training," took part in an eight-week course that included up to 30 minutes of daily meditation. The second group was more experienced with meditation and attended an intensive full-time, one-month retreat.

Researchers found that even for those new to the practice, meditation enhanced performance and the ability to focus attention. Performance-based measures of cognitive function demonstrated improvements in a matter of weeks. The study, to be published in the journal Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, suggests a new, non-medical means for improving focus and cognitive ability among disparate populations and has implications for workplace performance and learning.

Participants performed tasks at a computer that measured response speeds and accuracy. At the outset, retreat participants who were experienced in meditation demonstrated better executive functioning skills, the cognitive ability to voluntarily focus, manage tasks and prioritize goals. Upon completion of the eight-week training, participants new to meditation had greater improvement in their ability to quickly and accurately move and focus attention, a process known as "orienting." After the one-month intensive retreat, participants also improved their ability to keep attention "at the ready."

The results suggest that meditation, even as little as 30 minutes daily, may improve attention and focus for those with heavy demands on their time. While practicing meditation may itself may not be relaxing or restful, the attention-performance improvements that come with practice may paradoxically allow us to be more relaxed.

The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health and the Penn Stress Management Program.

How to "Fix" Your Programming

Originally published 5-10-10

Are you a Silva Graduate? Maybe you've just heard about the Silva courses.

Have you been reading or listening to the Abraham material?

Probably you've read many books and listened to videos about achieving your life's dreams, your greatest desires.  That's what this post is all about.

First, the questions.  Then the answers.

Have you ever 'programmed' for something you dearly desired...to win the lottery, have a new car, have plenty of money to pay bills, heal from injury or illness, etc.?

Did the object of your programming seem like your wildest dream come true? Emphasis on "wildest dream" aka fantasy.

Did you at any point doubt the fulfillment of that program?

Thinking about your desire, your dream, how much assurance did you feel at the time of your initial programming?

How did that work out for you?

Lots of questions!


It's essential to identify your desired outcome - The What - not a step along the way.  I think a story may be the best way to clarify what I mean:

Once upon a time (I love a good story, don't you?) a woman took The Silva Method Basic course.  During the class she decided to program for a 2-week trip to Hawaii. What's important for us today is HOW she did it:  she imagined / visualized someone making out a check to her, filling in the amount she thought was appropriate and signing the check.

At the next class she returned, upset and very angry. At the first opportunity she expressed her upset to everyone. 

The lecturer asked her "Tell me what you did." 

She described her programming and also mentioned that she had received the check but had to spend it on a medical bill.

At this point the lecturer pointed out to her that she programmed for the HOW, not the WHAT.

Think about your own programming.  Did you program for the WHAT or the HOW?

Taken from the SIGA Success Strategies online magazine.

It might have been his intuition that first guided Jose Silva to recognize the value of the 10 cycles per second alpha brain wave frequency, but he soon found more scientific evidence to support his belief that it is extremely valuable.

Here is what he had to say about it:

Alpha functioning, by Jose Silva

When a person is taught to function at the correct brain frequency, the brain frequency that has been named "alpha" by scientists, the person can use the right brain hemisphere to be healthier, happier, and more successful.

Alpha covers a range between 7 and 14 cycles or Hertz per second - the vibration of the electrical energy of the brain. The center of Alpha would then be 10.5, but it is known as Alpha 10 cycles or Hertz per second.

Another area where this 10 Hertz Alpha is mentioned is in Astronomy. It has been said that the space formed between the earth and the ionosphere forms a resonating cavity pulsing magnetically at 10 Hertz per second. This magnetic pulsing energy is now considered a fundamental universal life producing energy.

In the human brain we find electricity, magnetism and chemistry. Experiments conducted with the 10 Hertz magnetic field has been proven to excite, to stimulate the atomic particles in matter.

When a person has learned to function consciously at a brain frequency of 10 Hertz, that person is in harmony with the universal energy in space.

When a person is in resonance with the universal energy in space, subatomic particles in the person's body chemistry are being stimulated, excited.

This excitation is passed on to the immune system who controls body chemistry, strengthening the immune system.

A person staying in harmony with universal energy for 15 minutes a day is therapeutic and healthy. When this is done it will maintain a person in good health.

When a person is sick, depending on the seriousness of the problem, one, two, and even three 15-minute sessions of mental exercises may be advised for healing.

Using the subconscious consciously

When a person is consciously functioning at 10 Hertz, at that time that person, beside being in resonance with universal energy, strengthening the immune system, that person can also use the information stored in the subconscious consciously.

Each brain hemisphere has a set of senses:

*The left has set of objective, physical, biological senses.

*The right has a set of subjective, spiritual senses.

The objective senses detect information and records it on the left brain hemisphere and records a duplicate in the right brain hemisphere.

The subjective senses sense information and records it on the right brain hemisphere, but no duplicate is transferred to the left brain hemisphere. This indicates that there is bound to be more problem solving information in the right brain than in the left.

People without the Silva Method training cannot use the information stored in the right brain, they consider that information to be in the subconscious.

Those who have learned to function consciously at 10 Hertz call that dimension the inner conscious, and they can use the information stored in the right brain hemisphere because for them it is not subconscious, meaning it is not beyond their reach.

This means that the right brain thinker has more information at his disposal for problem solving. A successful person is one who solves more problems and information is needed in problem solving.

The Silva Method is the instrument that helps humanity to transcend genius intelligence and move into the second phase of human development on this planet.
