5 Simple Steps to Manifesting What You Want in Life

Re-published from thecarolblog

Having what you want doesn’t need to take a lot of effort.

In fact, to really manifest your desires, the less effort, the better.

When you become aware of the powerful role you you play as a creator in your own life, you can then work with the universal laws of creation to manifest the life and experiences you want to have.

Learn how to create the life you desire by practicing these 5 simple steps.

5 simple steps to manifesting your desires.

Step 1: KNOW what you want. Declare your DESIRE.

Do you really know what it is you want? (Health? Joy? Friendship? More money? New career? Great relationship?)

Get clear about your desire and even write it down paper. Get specific if you want to.

If you only have a vague concept of what you want, it’s hard to manifest something specific. Undefined desires don’t go very far.

Step 2: ASK for what you want.

Ask God. Ask the Universe. Ask the heavenly spiritual powers greater than you to assist you in creating it.

Step 3: BELIEVE you can have it.

Have faith, free from any doubt, that what you desire and have asked for is good. Trust that what you have asked for is going to be manifest to you when it is timely and appropriate.

Step 4: LET GO and ALLOW.

This is basically the part where you get out of you own way. Let go of “doing” to make it happen and allow the Spirit to be in charge of bringing your desire to you. Trust that you will be guided when and if to take any inspired action to follow through.

Step 5: Express GRATITUDE.

This step immediately follows Step 4—yes, even before your desire is manifested to you in the physical realm. That’s because gratitude is both the completion and the beginning of the creation process. Gratitude energy initiates more things manifesting in your life for which you feel gratitude.

And because you have the faith that your desire will be fulfilled in some way, you can express gratitude, knowing that your desire is already created spiritually and that you’re grateful for it showing up.

5 Steps To Manifest More Money

Re-published from Mind Body Green

There's no lack of money in the Universe. The only difference between you and someone who has a lot is the way they think about money. They think abundantly. They deeply believe they have enough and they always will.

I had a call with a follower yesterday who is a very positive and spiritually aware person, but when the topic of money came up, the energy turned stressful. She very naturally stated that she has so much debt, and that she couldn’t even think about paying for a coach, as well as that she doesn’t believe that her potential clients could pay anything close to what coaches ask for their services.

I grew up in a single mom immigrant family. Money was a struggle. It was always thought of as a hard to achieve status symbol. I never believed I would have more than a decent salary would provide me.

That was until I started to learn about metaphysics and spirituality. Understanding how thoughts are energy completely changed my life. I began to become aware of my mental patterns of lack and limit and began to consciously change them.

At first I felt like a fake, a liar, and that I was being unrealistic, but pretty soon I started to see my money world change. I even manifested my corporate layoff and a sufficient severance package to support a world travel spiritual sabbatical.

Here are five ways you can begin to change your money mindset today:

1. Watch your language around money.

I don’t have enough.
That’s too expensive.
I’ll never be able to buy that.

Watch your words not just in what you say, but in what you think, too. Create a money mantra, such as, “Money comes easily and frequently,” or, “There’s always more where that came from,” to help change your thought patterns.

2. Bless your money.

True abundance starts with appreciating what you already have. Get to know your money — your income, bills, bank accounts, cash. What you focus on grows.

3. Celebrate abundance in others.

Believe others have it. Be happy for those who have what you want. Watch your tendency to see other’s money limitations and instead see all they do have and wish them more.

4. Charge well for your services.

It’s like you’re commanding to the Universe that you expect to be supported in an easeful way. You should have the kind of lifestyle you deserve. It’s not bad, or greedy ... it’s your birthright. When you ask others to pay for your service, you're giving them permission to invest in themselves and uplevel their life.

5. Be generous.

Invest in yourself. Donate. Say, “I’ll treat,” sometimes. When you truly live with an abundance mindset, you continuously expand, even in the face of economic or personal contraction. Plus, being generous feels good and feeling good is a surefire way to bring more things and experiences that feel good.

You may desire a million bucks in the bank, or just enough to have a nice lifestyle. Whatever you wish is perfect and worthy, and the Universe wants to support you. What I know for sure is that more than having more money, you want the experience you believe money will give you: that your life feels full of ease and joyful.

Start celebrating abundance in everyone and everything and watch it show up more easily in your life.

What are Switchwords?

Re-published from BlueIris

What are Switchwords?

Switchwords are powerful poignant words used to connect directly to the subconscious mind, giving it direction for drawing the essence of the Switchword to you. The more a Switchword is repeated, the more it affects your energy. The more it affects your energy, the more you draw the experience, condition or response the Switchword represents to you.

---

How do I use Switchwords?

One great way to work with Switchwords is to:

1.	Get to a positive emotional state. Smile, dance, sing, listen to upbeat music... Doing something that helps you feel good before saying Switchwords may help them work better and faster for you.
2.	Set your intention for what it is that you want. "I want to be calm and comfortable and have a successful meeting with my boss."
3.	Flip the Switch. (Say, think, sing, chant, write or even intend the Switchword[s]) For the above intention, perhaps use The Switchphrase: EASE-ADJUST-TAP-PERFECT-PERSONAL-ACT.  (Calm down, handle uncomfortable or unpleasant conditions, adapt and convert, feel satisfied, become a success, express yourself well.)
4.	Spend the next 20 to 30 minutes doing something that helps keep you in a positive emotional state. (This helps speed manifestation.)

You can even put Switchwords inside an Energy Circle to have them quietly, continuously work for you.

How do Switchwords work?

The subconscious mind records and files away everything going on around you on every level, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, for future reference. As it observes similar experiences, conditions or responses associated with a word or action over and over again, the subconscious mind begins to anticipate and even look for (attract) these experiences, conditions or responses. These actions or words become Switchwords – switches for bringing about the specific experiences, conditions or responses associated with the words or actions. Switchwords bypass the conscious mind and activate switches in the subconscious mind.

For example, your subconscious mind recognizes that almost every encounter with money involves counting. ThusCOUNT is the Switchword for attracting money. The subconscious mind hears COUNT and it looks for ways to find money to COUNT.

In The Secret of Perfect Living, James T. Mangan introduced us to Switchwords. As part of his research he studied, learned, compiled and documented many Switchwords.

Switchwords do not work with the conscious mind.
Switchwords work with the subconscious mind and its interpretations.

There are Switchwords that are Switchwords for individual people.
There are Switchwords that are Switchwords for most people (more than 50%).
There are Switchwords that are Switchwords for virtually all people.

WINDOW may be a Personal Switchword for some.
GUIDE is an Open Switchword for most people
HOLE is a Universal Switchword for all.

Do not try to put your conscious analytical mind into the reasoning for the Switchwords. Leave it to the subconscious mind. Switchwords are very specific and flip specific switches. Substituting what you see as a good alternative may sabotage your intent.

Switchwords can be used to put you into action to create what you desire (TINY will throw a switch which if you just relax and let it will prompt you to do a very polite and kind act for someone), begin attracting to you the things you want (such as love, money), help you to stop or change things that are causing you distress (such as aggression -CONFESS; anger - CLEAR; arguments - CONCEDE), and a multitude of other applications.

HOLE is to be attractive, appealing. To the conscious mind that is not what HOLE is about but when you analyze it, as the subconscious mind does, you do see that a HOLE always attracts the eye. A HOLE is the first thing you see when you look at anything with a HOLE in it. A black HOLE is the ultimate in attraction. For the attraction of a blackHOLE is so strong of an attractor that even light cannot escape it. This is why HOLE is the Switchword for attraction.

GIVE may be a bit more obvious as a Switchword to sell. Whenever a sale is made, you always see each side of the transaction is giving something to the other side. Even in the conscious mind it makes quick and easy sense.

What does your conscious mind see with CRISP? Perhaps potato chips, perhaps fresh carrots. Perhaps it looks at the early morning and the CRISPness in the air. But then, what does the subconscious mind see?

What happens when one is fatigued? One is "softer," feels kind of "spongy," definitely not CRISP. Can you be soft and spongy if you are CRISP? A rubbery soft carrot is definitely not CRISP. Now look at a potato chip. Definitely very CRISP. What happened to make that potato chip so CRISP? Now a potato alone might be somewhat CRISP, but it does not even compare to a potato chip. So what happened? It was made CRISP by "enhancing" it, changing it.

The Switchword CRISP is to dispel fatigue; feel refreshed; revitalize; enhance; rejuvenate; brighten. Each CRISPSwitchword definition comes from a subconscious experience with the word CRISP, which is why it throws those switches to do those things.

Each Switchword has a different thing represents and a different way that it works.

Using reflex muscle testing to find Switchphrases:
1. Test for access (yes/no)
2. Test which letter for start of first Switchword
3. Test Switchwords starting with that letter
4. Once you find the first Switchword, verify it is correct
5. Ask if more Switchwords for Switchphrase
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until Switchphrase is complete
7. Confirm that Switchphrase is correct and complete for the current situation

In muscle testing for Switchphrases I generally set my intent for weakness to mean the Switchword is needed.

I believe muscle testing is a wonderful way to increase the efficacy of any and all healing and emotional balancing techniques.

Enhancing Switchwords with EFT

Now, if you are familiar with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), you know that it works by tapping on energy meridians while saying positive affirmations, to help bring about emotional, mental, physical and psychological balance/change. It is a great way to use Switchwords - tapping the EFT points while saying your Switchwords and Switchphrases.

Some people run EFT mentally, meaning they mentally say the affirmations (or Switchwords) while mentally tapping on the EFT points. This takes concentration and effort because the conscious mind is limited in the number of things it can do at one time.

Well this Emotional Freedom (EF) vial takes things one step further. It is an energetically charged vial of water. This EF vial has instructions to energetically run EFT.

What is energetic EFT?
Energetic EFT means you are doing numerous topics, even thousands of topics, at the same time at a subconscious level instead of doing just one topic at a conscious level with mental EFT.

Instructions are in the EF vial for:
1) Taking any Switchword/Switchphrase you say,
2) Copying that Switchword/Switchphrase 999 times,
3) Energetically running it through the EFT 1000 times

Which means any Switchword or Switchphrase you use with the EF vial is put into your energy over 28 million times each time you say the Switchword or Switchphrase and then run the vial.

It matters not what your resources are or how many resources you have.
It matters not what brought you to this point, all the intricate details.
It matters only that you take advantage of every resource you have been given to navigate your life.

This is why your subconscious is there for you.
You subconscious mind gleans from experience.
It gleans from actions.
It gleans much more from the world and life than does the conscious mind.

Without worry or thought about how hard it was to learn to walk,
Without worry or thought of which muscles must be stimulated nor how to balance this mass of flesh and bone,
Without any concern whatsoever of the mechanics of walking, the underlying forces, the precision with which we must utilize our senses to keep us upright,
We simply walk.

We spent months learning the skill, but once mastered it is "saved" in our subconscious mind and honed, enhanced and improved by additional experiences.

Same goes for talking and typing and driving and...and...and...

Wow! What a powerful thing this subconscious mind is! It takes our conscious experiences, saves them, files them, builds on them, and uses them to enhance our lives.

And to think we fight with our subconscious mind always wanting to control it, always wanting to make it submit to our conscious desires.

This is where the power of Switchwords comes in. Switchwords create direct communication with the subconscious mind, letting it know our conscious desires and asking it to align with us, understand what it is we want, and inviting it to join us in our quest.

EFT + Switchwords unlocks the power of single-mindedness.
EFT + Switchwords brings our two minds to a single thought.
EFT + Switchwords stops the internal mind war.
EFT + Switchwords gets the subconscious mind to submit to and help out the conscious mind.

How Gratitude Can Change Your Life

Re-published from thechangeblog

“If the only prayer you say in your life is ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” – Meister Eckhart

Gratitude means thankfulness, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you receive. It means learning to live your life as if everything were a miracle, and being aware on a continuous basis of how much you’ve been given. Gratitude shifts your focus from what your life lacks to the abundance that is already present. In addition, behavioral and psychological research has shown the surprising life improvements that can stem from the practice of gratitude. Giving thanks makes people happier and more resilient, it strengthens relationships, it improves health, and it reduces stress.

Research Shows Gratitude Heightens Quality of Life

Two psychologists, Michael McCollough of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and Robert Emmons of the University of California at Davis, wrote an article about an experiment they conducted on gratitude and its impact on well-being. The study split several hundred people into three different groups and all of the participants were asked to keep daily diaries. The first group kept a diary of the events that occurred during the day without being told specifically to write about either good or bad things; the second group was told to record their unpleasant experiences; and the last group was instructed to make a daily list of things for which they were grateful. The results of the study indicated that daily gratitude exercises resulted in higher reported levels of alertness, enthusiasm, determination, optimism, and energy. In addition, those in the gratitude group experienced less depression and stress, were more likely to help others, exercised more regularly, and made greater progress toward achieving personal goals.

Dr. Emmons – who has been studying gratitude for almost ten years and is considered by many to be the world’s leading authority on gratitude – is author of the book, “Thanks!: How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier”. The information in this book is based on research involving thousands of people conducted by a number of different researchers around the world. One of the things these studies show is that practicing gratitude can increase happiness levels by around 25%. This is significant, among other things, because just as there’s a certain weight that feels natural to your body and which your body strives to maintain, your basic level of happiness is set at a predetermined point. If something bad happens to you during the day, your happiness can drop momentarily, but then it returns to its natural set-point. Likewise, if something positive happens to you, your level of happiness rises, and then it returns once again to your “happiness set-point”. A practice of gratitude raises your “happiness set-point” so you can remain at a higher level of happiness regardless of outside circumstances.

In addition, Dr. Emmons’ research shows that those who practice gratitude tend to be more creative, bounce back more quickly from adversity, have a stronger immune system, and have stronger social relationships than those who don’t practice gratitude. He further points out that “To say we feel grateful is not to say that everything in our lives is necessarily great. It just means we are aware of our blessings.”

Notice and Appreciate Each Day’s Gifts

People tend to take for granted the good that is already present in their lives. There’s a gratitude exercise that instructs that you should imagine losing some of the things that you take for granted, such as your home, your ability to see or hear, your ability to walk, or anything that currently gives you comfort. Then imagine getting each of these things back, one by one, and consider how grateful you would be for each and every one. In addition, you need to start finding joy in the small things instead of holding out for big achievements—such as getting the promotion, having a comfortable nest egg saved up,getting married, having the baby, and so on–before allowing yourself to feel gratitude and joy.

Another way to use giving thanks to appreciate life more fully is to use gratitude to help you put things in their proper perspective. When things don’t go your way, remember that every difficulty carries within it the seeds of an equal or greater benefit. In the face of adversity ask yourself: “What’s good about this?”, “What can I learn from this?”, and “How can I benefit from this?”

There are Many Ways to Practice Gratitude

A common method to develop the practice of gratitude is to keep a gratitude journal, a concept that was made famous by Sarah Ban Breathnach’s book “Simple Abundance Journal of Gratitude”. This exercise basically consists of writing down every day a list of three to ten things for which you are grateful; you can do this first thing in the morning or before going to bed at night. Another exercise you can try is to write a gratitude letter to a person who has exerted a positive influence in your life but whom you have not properly thanked. Some experts suggest that you set up a meeting with this person and read the letter to them face to face.

Last year millions of people took the challenge proposed by Will Bowen, a Kansas City minister, to go 21 days without complaining, criticizing, or gossiping. To help condition the participants to stop complaining, they each wore a purple No-Complaint wristband. Several authors in the self-improvement genre have suggested that people do something similar to help condition themselves to be constantly aware of the things in life that they’re grateful for.

A variation of the wristband concept is to create a gratitude charm bracelet, with either one meaningful charm or different charms representing the things you’re most grateful for. For example, you could have a charm shaped like a heart to symbolize your significant other, figurines to represent different family members, an apple to represent health, a dollar sign to symbolize abundance, a charm that represents your current profession or a future career, and maybe a charm that makes you laugh to represent humor and joy.

Conclusion

Once you become oriented toward looking for things to be grateful for, you will find that you begin to appreciate simple pleasures and things that you previously took for granted. Gratitude should not be just a reaction to getting what you want, but an all-the-time gratitude, the kind where you notice the little things and where you constantly look for the good even in unpleasant situations. Today, start bringing gratitude to your experiences, instead of waiting for a positive experience in order to feel grateful; in this way, you’ll be on your way toward becoming a master of gratitude.

Start Living

We live in a world of possibilities, a world of opportunities but still we try to run? Run, for what we want, for what we believe in, for what we think is ours, but is it really?

The truth is that it is ours, indeed, without a doubt, without any troubles, but our minds have been conditioned in a way that we don't believe that anything in the world is ours & we try to do whatever possible to acquire it, whereas the reality is that anything we want can start coming towards us if we stop fighting for it & Start Living.

How to use Switch Words

Re-published from HealbySwitchword

Intention healing using switch words

Like in Reiki, you can do INTENTION HEALING using Switch Words. Make an intention within yourself (stating your goal and desires) and chant the Switch Words.

Healing Others

To heal others put their name in a piece of paper, keep it on the left hand and chant the Switch Words. Preferably chant during the beginning of the day and then later before going to sleep.

How long and how many times we need to chant?

Chris

How many times one should chant a combination to make it effective?

Naran

Till you get what you want. Or you can stop when you come out of the present (state of mind)

Instructions for chanting switch words

Just repeat the switch word, for example, ‘DIVINE ORDER’ any number of times, whenever possible. Repeating the switch word is chanting.

Writing the combination in a notebook

Naran

You can write (in multiples of) 21 times/day in a notebook for (multiples of) 21 days.

Hearing recorded switch words

Hiran

I have recorded switch words of my own voice and stored it in my mobile memory. I hear the recorded switch word with my earphone. Can it work in sleep or half-sleep state?

Naran

Yes. It will (in both the states).

Combining switch words with other healing methods

For fever one patient was prescribed CRAB APPLE CHANGE DIVINE ORDER. Crab apple is a Bach Flower remedy, while Change and Divine Order are switch words. Both Bach flower remedy and Switch words can be combined during chanting.

Energizing water with Switch words

Is it possible to chant them and sprinkle the water or to drink the water? Yes you can. Chant them and sprinkle the water or drink the water.

Water will absorb Switch Words energies better. Chant a Switch Words 100 times while holding a glass of water and give the water to children as they won’t chant. The Japam you are doing is of no use if there is no water or earth – in the form of Vibhuddi or Kumkum, while chanting. All Switch Words work with water. Anything spoken to water will be absorbed by it. Do chanting of the Switch Words either for 108 times or chant them for duration of 5 to 10 minutes. No specific time is required.

Label the water bottle with the Switch Words. The water will absorb the energy of it. In addition to that, do chanting as well.

Using circle technique

1. Write the name of the person(s) or the situation to be healed in a piece of paper.
2. Draw a circle around the name/situation.
3. Draw one more concentric circle.
4. In between each gap between circles, write one switch word.
5. Keep the paper with you.
6. See it in the morning and evening

When do I add Release Resistance to Switch Words

Ani

For how long should one chant before we put RELEASE RESISTANCE to the Switch Words? Can RELEASE RESISTANCE only be put before one Switch Word or could it be put in front of a Switch Word combination?

How do you recommend the chanting loud or silent?

Naran

RELEASE RESISTANCE is also a switch word. If one is unable to get the desired result with the use of switch words, then release resistance is to be added before the string of switch words.

Silent chanting is enough.

Finding harmony with a person, you are in conflict with

How to use this for harmony? With this one technique that follows, we can do for all other problems.

‘A’ and I are quarrelling. Visualize A is on the left hand and yourself on the right hand. Chant the switch words CONCEDE CLEAR CENTRE FIND DIVINE LOVE, for a minimum 100 to 200 times. Bring the right hand closer to left hand slowly. Finally both hands should meet (which should not happen until you finish chanting). Immediately harmony will be established between you too.

When the hands come closer to each other, and if you find it difficult to merge both the hands, at that time chant CENTRE many times and finally it will merge.

Finding harmony among two individuals

Let us say ‘A’ and ‘B’ are quarrelling. Keep A on the left and B on the right hand. Chant CONCEDE CLEAR FIND DIVINE LOVE WITH many times, bring the hands closer to each other and finally join them both.

Solving physical problems

For physical problems – (visualize) keep the problem and name of the person on the left hand, and chant CONCEDE CLEAR CENTRE CANCEL DIVINE BE NOW DONE. BE is for physical health.

Problem-Solution Approach

For other problems – (visualize) keep the problem on the left hand, and chant CONCEDE CLEAR CENTRE FIND DIVINE LOVE. Problem will be solved, for the good of everybody concerned.
