A Special Webinar Invitation and Announcement

For most of this year, I've been on a mission to finish a special project that I started over a year ago. As many of you know, I left California in early 2011 to live in Central America.  While I lived in Panama, (I returned to U.S. this week) I put all of my energy and dedication into finishing this special mission.  

Though I have worked non-stop on this creation and have loved the process, I am thrilled that at last it is completed and that I can now tell you about it!  This week I will be launching The Warrior Spirit:  How To Use Hidden Mind Powers and Ancient Wisdom To Create Wealth & Much More.

To celebrate the launch of The Warrior Spirit, I am doing a special webinar where I will share awesome knowledge about
mind powers and self-empowerment.   

To sign up for the Warrior Spirit Webinar (no charge), please see my fan page I Love Law of Attraction

My intention is that it will find its way to everyone who can be helped by it and for it to be wildly succeed in creating transformational results for people.

To a path filled with personal power and wisdom,

Powerful vs Weak Affirmations---Four Tips Everyone Should Know

You've probably heard that saying affirmations over and over again can change your life. Or that viewing your affirmations on a daily basis can create changes. Or you might have cds that play affirmations for you.

But do affirmations really work?

The answer is yes and no.

Let me explain.

The right affirmations, done properly and applied with other techniques can really make a difference. The wrong affirmations, said the wrong way and not applied properly will be completely ineffective and can create disasters in your life.

So just how do you use affirmations in the right way so that you get maximum results?

1. Be aware of how affirmations work
2. Know how to create them
3. Experience them in the deeper levels of your sub-conscious mind
4. Use them for certain time periods and at powerful times

1. AFFIRMATIONS ARE REALLY CONTROLLED THOUGHTS

Thoughts are instructions sent to your subconscious mind. Thoughts repeated regularly become beliefs. After a while you start to believe what you repeatedly think. And, when your beliefs change,
your world changes.

Thoughts create reality. Thoughts are forms of energy. Everything on the physical plane has a spiritual counterpart.

Visible forms of energy, such as money, your clothes, and the car that you drive, once were invisible. They were once thoughts that coalesced into form and density until they materialized on this
physical plane. Everything that exists on the material plane, once existed in the world of thought, in a realm that is infinite and that is not bound by time or space

Thoughts are your hidden allies that you can use to get things to happen.

2. HOW TO CREATE AFFIRMATIONS

Before thoughts can transform into visible forms of energy, they need to be energized in a certain way.

Below are examples of weak affirmations vs. powerful, energized affirmations. See the notes below to understand why they are weak vs. powerful.

Weak Affirmations

A) "I pray that I can get rid of my debt soon"
C) "I will meet the love of my life one day when I least expect it"

Powerful Affirmations

B) "I am thankful for creating huge financial success right now
in an easy and enjoyable manner."

D) "I know exactly what to do to realize a joyful relationship
with my dream partner and I am thankful for being guided every day."

Affirmation A --- is too vague and is likely to produce vague results at best. Even worse, this affirmation focuses on a negative thing--- "debt" and by focusing on debt, you're likely to actually create more debt in your life. Train yourself to focus your attention on what you want and to avoid thinking about what you
don't want. Put your energy into happy thoughts.

Affirmation C --- is vague and focuses on the future. With this type of affirmation, you are likely to delay producing the relationship you desire since you are essentially telling the universe to give it to you in the future ("I will") rather than now. You could be waiting a long time.

Affirmation B and D --- use the powerful "I am" decree and these words put you in the present ("I am now") rather than the past or future. When using "I am", only use positive thoughts; negatives
are best placed in the past. Lastly, these goals are detailed and as such the universe knows clearly what to deliver to you.

3. ENERGIZE YOUR AFFIRMATIONS

Focus on your affirmations throughout the day, especially when you're in a meditative-type state such as theta.

When your mind quiets down, and you access deeper levels of consciousness your thoughts are more energized and more powerful. When you are in a deep state, such as theta, your sub-conscious mind
is more receptive to commands. It's especially important that you focus only on want you want and avoid all thoughts about what you do not want. Be keenly aware of your thoughts and only hold those
thoughts that you want to materialize.

Get into the spirit of what you desire. Feel it as if what you desire has already happened. Then, let it go.

Relax and trust that your goal is now in the process of being materialized. Many people have difficulty relaxing because they are filled with doubts. Be aware that by associating heavy emotions,
such as tension and doubt, with your goals, you are making it difficult to materialize your goals.

Achieve your goals faster than you thought possible when you relax and energize your ideas during states of theta.

4. BE AWARE OF THE POWER OF NUMBERS AND POWER TIMES

Don't allow yourself to be discouraged if nothing seems to happen when you practice affirmations. Reserve judgment. Keep at it. It takes 21 days to break a habit. It takes 40 days to make a new habit
and 90 days to lock it in. From a shamanic perspective, the most powerful times to focus on
your goals and affirmations are at sunrise and sunset.

Humans are plugged into the natural world. We don't function separately from it. We are deeply connected with it. As such, the earth and the natural rhythms affect us. For example, when the sun goes down, we naturally get sleepy.

At dawn and dusk, our brain waves (rhythms) are closer to theta. Theta corresponds to the world of spirit. And, when we are closer to spirit, we have a stronger effect on the material plane.

Thoughts are invisible forms of energy that live in the world of spirit. When they are energized enough, they materialize on the physical plane.

That doesn't mean that you only focus on your affirmations during those two times of the day. It means that you take advantage of those times to give your affirmations extra power.

You need to say and feel your affirmations, as explained above, regularly throughout the day.

If you say an affirmation just once or twice a day but for the rest of the day fill your mind with negative thoughts, you'll eliminate the power of your affirmations.

If you want to get a new job and you say a positive affirmation about finding a new job, but then follow it up with a series of negative thoughts such as "There are no good jobs." or "Nobody's hiring during this bad economy..." That kind of attitude will lead to negative results, like not finding a job or finding a job that
you don't like.

Yes, you can absolutely get affirmations to work if you create the right affirmations, apply them correctly and use techniques to energize them.

A powerful way to energize your affirmations and goals, is to access the deeper levels of your mind. I highly recommend going into theta to energize your affirmations.

You have unlimited powers. You are a remarkable human being.

Create the right affirmations, and direct the power of your subconscious mind to help you create the life you want.

Begin working with the power of your mind and change your reality.

How To Make The Law Of Attraction Work With Personal Power

Movies such as "The Secret" and "What the Bleep Do We Know" have attempted to teach people about the power of the mind and thoughts. Many have seen these movies, read the latest books on the "law of attraction," and attended seminars on manifesting and positive thought techniques. Yet, not many have actually been able to successfully make the law of attraction work for them.

For most people, success has been far and few between. Why is that? What is the missing link for manifesting what we deeply desire? Becoming aware of your limiting thoughts is crucial, yet it is not enough. Just thinking and affirming positive thoughts will not enable you to consistently achieve your goals. You will need to go further.

Ancient wisdom teaches that to achieve extraordinary results in life we must build up our energy, our inner power. Success in all areas of our lives---financial, business and personal, is not a result of education, social status or anything out there. It comes about through using our mind in a certain way and expanding our awareness.

Your Mind Is Your Link To A Higher Force

Most people spend their waking hours in the mind state of beta, which keeps them from accessing and growing their inner power. In beta, your mind is bombarded with never ending thoughts. Beta is known as the logical and restrictive mind. High levels of beta are associated with stress related symptoms such as feelings of being overwhelmed, sleeping problems, and aches. When you are trying to make the law of attraction work for you, it is to your great advantage to focus on your goals when you are deeply relaxed. Why is a relaxed mind important? A mind that is filled with stress (emotional or physical) cannot easily transfer new positive mental pictures to the sub-conscious mind.

The Deeper You Go Within, the Greater Your Power

In contrast to beta, the mind level states of alpha, theta and delta, are associated with states of relaxation such as meditation. As you access deeper levels of your mind, you can more easily connect with a higher force that is greater than you. These mind states are not restrictive but rather very expansive. They help to expand your awareness beyond ordinary consciousness.

As you go deeper within into higher mind states, such as theta, you can connect with a higher force, to Infinite Intelligence or what some people refer to as the mind of God. As your connection with Infinite Intelligence becomes stronger, you become more empowered gaining insights, guidance and abilities that were formerly outside of your reach. Then, you will be in a much more empowered position to make the Law Of Attraction work for you and make changes happen in your life for the better.

It is not important to remember the details of the different mind states. The important point is to become aware that you can use the powers of these deeper levels of your mind to create a better world for yourself and for others.

Ancient wisdom teachers, such as shamans and alchemists, teach that we are part physical and part spiritual beings. In other words, each of us has a spiritual counterpart. We all have a Higher Self, a higher force that always is trying to help us evolve and grow our personal power. It is through our higher selves that we get the guidance we need to live deeply happy lives, to make wise financial decisions, to heal our bodies, to choose partners for our highest good and to get insights on difficult life decisions.

While the Law of Attraction is true, without inner power, our ability to make the law of attraction work will be limited. Without enough personal power, we have difficulty understanding inner guidance that continually communicates with us in attempts to help us achieve powerful results.

The importance of inner power is often misunderstood or undervalued. It not only will help you make the law of attraction work for you, it will help you transcend ordinary living. It is not an exaggeration to say that much of the suffering and difficulties people have in life is due to a lack of personal power.

Whether you desire to manifest concrete goals, such as a new job or house, or abstract goals, such as greater intuition, the more inner power you have, the greater your capability will be to achieve what you set out to accomplish with speed and ease. Manifesting your desires, healing, and creating miracles are real possibilities, and indeed, probabilities, when you connect with your personal power.
