As long as your focus is in the future, seeing and feeling your vision, you won’t be spending time doing what causes a repeat of the past.

So if you want to manifest your desires, you have to know exactly what your focus is. Sometimes priorities change and that is ok and different than not knowing what your focus is.

For me, it is a daily routine of asking myself what my biggest priority is. Life happens and things change so I’ve learned to go with the flow if I have to change my focus. One thing I know for sure is that if I am trying to focus on a certain goal but my energy is being pulled in a different direction, I am associating negative energy with my goal.

So I may as well give my attention to what is on my mind so I can resolve it if necessary. Coherence is key. I only want to work on goals when I am in a peaceful state-a state where I am feeling emotions like peace and gratitude. That is the only way I can actually have a feeling of success in my physical body as I am holding my vision.

In my personal development coaching, vision is just one of the things I emphasize but it is very important. If you don’t create a vision to think about, your thoughts and energy are scattered. You must have laser beam focus so the quantum field knows what you are intending. It must understand what you are ordering and your feelings are the language that gives it power.

The secret weapon that works like magic is working with my internal visual screen to see how I physically feel. I watch movies of myself accomplishing the task but I do it in a way that I become aware of my true beliefs about my ability. I never try to force or ignore a feeling that isn’t conducive to success. Those are indicators of the subconscious programs that run and manifest more of whatever it is that you believe deep down.

I use a process that allows me to develop true belief. I don’t attempt to force a belief or convince myself of one that isn’t really there. You must truly believe to achieve and it must be so real in your mind that you feel it in your bones.

I have found that it makes all the difference in the world, especially with something like a goal to lose weight, if I keep my mind engaged and visualize the results I am after, especially when I am exercising or eating. Once again, it is important not to try to force good thoughts and feelings when they don’t come naturally. If negativity comes up, I take my mind off of my goal and focus on getting back to a state of coherence.

Try it. It works! If some coaching would help, check out my personal development coaching programs.

When I came to after my nde-after dying in a car wreck, one thing that made a lasting impression was the insignificance of so many things that I had made the center of my world.  I had been shown the big picture and my life seemed so petty.  My self talk involved constant chatter about what I should have done or shouldn’t have done.  There was nothing about the future and the good I wanted to do.  Whether I was using it intentionally or not, I was still using creative visualization every time I had something on my mind.

I was focused on a speck in time, stuck there and stoking a momentum that created nothing but more of the same.  I saw how big the whole picture was and how I was wasting so much of it with my blinders on that kept me narrowly focused.

Today I saw a video that brought back that same feeling of how enormous things really are. It was a reminder to me that we are but a speck in a vast universe that is bigger than anything we can imagine.  It reminded me that although we are a speck, we are a very important speck.   During my nde, I saw that everything I had ever done was registered and had impacted the bigger picture.  It was a reminder to keep my creative visualization on things that are important-like designing a better future instead of focusing on the things I want to change.

As this video shows, each speck plays its own unique part in the bigger picture.  I think it is our job to make our own little speck the most that it can be.  What I came to understand is that we do that by creating peace, harmony and love in our little piece of universal real estate that we call home.

This video helps me feel that we are all part of something big and beautiful.  When we all do upkeep on our own little energetic space, we are in harmony with something very powerful.

Your thoughts begin a series of events that create a vibration of energy that resonates throughout the universe.  And that message may not even be close to what you think it is.

There is a process that happens that was meant to protect your ancestors from physical harm back in the days when everyday life posed a physical threat.  And even though you don’t need to run away from the same kind of danger, your body reacts as if you do when certain beliefs are activated. 

And that is the problem.  Your perception of life and your belief in yourself and your ability to succeed may actually cause a stress response instead of the message you think you are sending.  If you feel the slightest bit of fear as you think about your future, it is detected.

I began to see a tremendous difference in my life after I learned how to use energy work to stop the stress reaction from happening.  My health improved drastically because I wasn’t taxing my immune system so much.  And I was able to create the feelings of success and maintain them as I worked with creative visualization.  I learned many years ago that as soon as I could create a clear intention and then maintain the feelings of success with it, it would come into my life.  Learning about the power of the subconscious mind and the activation of the stress response that often went undetected, made all the difference in the world in working with my goals. 

Listen to Dr Bruce Lipton explain the HPA Axis and how it can affect health.  I believe strongly that its activation while thinking about and visualizing goals is also detrimental to success.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “mind over matter” that is mentioned when a person gets results that most people would not expect.  That person has a vision and positive feelings about seeing it through until it becomes reality.  That person does not allow fear of an unwanted result to enter into his/her mind. 

 You have the same ability and it works with health issues.

Do you know what one of the biggest stressors to the immune system is?  It’s FEAR.  It’s not the actual disease or disaster, which rarely happens, but it is the FEAR of the disease or disaster that wears down a healthy body.

All I have to do is look at my “love” and “fear” strawberries to remind me how destructive fear is.

If people around me are sick or the news is spreading warnings about some horrible affliction that is spreading, I feel a wave of fear go through my body and my thoughts bring up images of getting sick also.

Immediately, I say “No” to those thoughts.  I banish them from my mind, turn the news off, go and do some energy work to remove the source of the fearful thoughts.  Then I do things like eat chicken soup and remind myself that studies have shown that it actually does help.  I take some extra vitamin C and imagine it going in and boosting my immune system.  I hear the words of Dr Bruce Lipton as he explains how our bodies have all the stem cells we need to heal ourselves of anything.  He says we don’t need the pharmaceutical companies harvesting them and then selling them back to us.  So I create an intention and an image of my stem cells rushing to the aid of any vulnerability I might have and strengthening it so I remain healthy and strong.

I do everything I can to support a strong healthy belief that I am healthy and strong, which includes feeding my body things that I believe will support it.

I remind myself of times like the one where I became very ill on a day where I was scheduled later that evening to perform at a little club.  I was the solo act, singing and playing guitar, and I could barely speak let alone sing, due to severe coughing, sneezing etc.  It was a small very unimportant gig and I could have easily cancelled but it was very important to me.  It had built momentum and was now a huge party for some of my family and friends and some had never been out to see me perform before.

I simply got mad.  I refused to be sick, even as I got sicker as the day went on.  I told myself over and over again “I AM GOING tonight and I will have a wonderful time and sing as well as I ever have.  I will NOT be sick.  People asked me what I was going to do.  I answered with complete conviction.  “I am going to play tonight and I will NOT be sick.”  I used ceative visualization and I believed it with every ounce of my being.  I was indignant that this cold/flu could think it could mess me up!  I went on with my plans never giving a thought to the fact that I was sick and wouldn’t be able to sing.  The images in my creative visualization are all I allowed my mind to see.

When I walked out the door and headed to the club, my head cleared, I felt fine, played my heart out and had a great time.  After I packed up and headed back home, all of the symptoms returned and I was just as sick as I had been earlier in the day.  But I had gotten exactly what I had asked for and visualized-to be well that evening so I could play and sing.  I realized later how much thought I had given to the fact that I didn’t care if I got sick again later, I just HAD to be well to play that evening.  Things were happening consciously and subconsciously because of my thoughts and beliefs. 

With hindsight, I can see a flaw in my plan to be well to sing.  It could have been just as easy to banish the cold for good.

Do you really want to allow fear of the Swine Flu or anything else to control your thoughts and add the very stress that can cause the vulnerability?  You have the power to choose and do something about it.

My decision is to create a vision of health to see in my mind’s eye, to support my physical body with good nutrition, water, sleep and exercise and energy work to reduce my stress and change the beliefs that cause me to be fearful.

Over my years of coaching, I have worked with clients who are very intelligent, well read and seem to understand about as much as I do about the way the Laws of Attraction work.  Some have studied the teachings of the most well known success gurus and really “get” the concepts.  But they work with me because they are still missing one piece and it is the same one that I was missing years ago when I couldn’t manifest ALL as opposed to just SOME of my dreams.

Years ago, I used the same personal goal setting process on all of my goals, did creative visualization and many different visualization exercises and visualization techniques, yet sometimes it worked like magic and other times-nothing at all.

I found the answer to the problem when I heard about the latest discoveries involving the brain and also started hearing more and more about cellular memories and the power of hidden belief systems that control conscious behavior-subconsciously.

I began to do energy work, or “energy medicine” using various tools and my life began to change.  My goal manifestation became very consistent and I was never again at a loss when things didn’t seem to be working as I had planned.

Personal goal setting gets results because of what you see, think and FEEL about your goal-it’s not 100% dependent on looking at images.  It is much more about what you are feeling in your heart.

I was looking at some YouTube videos today and ran across one about “The Secret.”  What I noticed was that as I watched and read the affirmations, suddenly I felt a physical shift.  It was subtle but because I do energy work and work with goals daily, I feel these shifts easily.

The shift said to me that I didn’t believe what I was reading and saying.  My body released stress chemicals and I was able to detect them because I have developed the skills necessary for that.  That is what I look for when my goals aren’t manifesting-hidden beliefs that associate a fear response instead of 100% belief in what I am saying.  When I SEE it, FEEL it and BELIEVE it, things happen.

Too many people are in their head and do not have their heart engaged and supporting them.  Instead, their heart knows they have been hurt before so it reacts in a way that causes stress chemicals to be released.  That causes an energetic response that is communicated to the universe.  All of this is very subtle and often goes completely unnoticed.  Most people are so used to being in their head that they don’t even understand how to really feel something with their heart.  They miss many important signs that show they are working against themselves.

Click the link below, watch the video clip, and see if you can feel in your heart what you are saying in your head.  That is what is almost impossible for the majority of people.  If you don’t believe it in your heart and really FEEL it there, nothing will change until you do.  You must believe it so strongly that it comes from the core of your being and you absolutely expect it to happen. 

When I discovered how to create that feeling with the help of energy work, nothing could stop me!

There is a place where the general crowd lives.  They don’t do personal goal setting.  They move in bunches, flowing along with ideas that are given to them through the media or friends they associate with.  Nothing about them stands out in a crowd.  They are like most people who aren’t happy with their life but that don’t do what it takes to change it.

To be successful, you have to go just a little bit further than the masses.  You have to do some personal goal setting and determine what to fix your eyes on.  Then you must use visualization techniques to let your subconscious know what to bring into your life.

Try something simple at first so you develop the belief in the power of creative visualization if you doubt it.  Keep telling yourself that you want some information about something.  Think of an image that represents the information coming to you.  Maybe see yourself with a paper in your hand that represents the information.  Or see yourself crossing it off a list of things to do or that are in process.  And feel gratitude in your heart that you have received what you requested.

Separate yourself from the crowd by doing the small things that most people won’t do to create change in their life.  Creative visualization is not difficult to do with a little practice.  Be consistent and then watch your dreams unfold before your very eyes just as they have been doing in your Mind’s Eye.
