Manifest Your Desires by Changing Habits of Thought…How People Fall Short.

Hi all, 

Travis here.

Let’s recap what we talked about if you want to manifest your desires into reality.  There are two things you must do.

Firstly you have to think of what you want and not of what you don’t want.

Secondly you have to make those thoughts predominate in your conscious and subconscious mind.

Gandhi said it best when he said, “Habit is destiny.” 

But there’s a trick.  There are pitfalls and challenges which many of the law of attraction gurus either gloss over or don’t know anything about.  Ignorance of these things has cost many people their dreams and allowed their minds to stay stuck in poverty consciousness.

First of all thoughts of abundance must be repeated until they are ones’ natural way of functioning.  However, the mind will resist.  Brian Tracy calls this the homeostatic impulse.  In other words the mind will try to stop you from changing it.  It’s easy to understand why.  The mind believes its current thoughts are needed for survival even if they keep you stuck in misery.

It tells you that to have a million dollars will make people kill you, finding your soul mate will hurt you beyond repair, and if you are healthy everyone will silently hate you and you’ll die alone.  For most these thoughts are well outside of conscious awareness.  What they are aware of is the panic or fear that arises when letting go of their belief in poverty and limitation.

One thing that really sabotages people is that they are unaware of the mind’s many tricks to stop them and maintain the status quo.  It makes them think that they are finished, that what they are doing isn’t working, or that things are getting worse.

When you commit to creating a wealth and abundance consciousness in yourself and begin to rehearse the correct mental patterns you have to be ready.  For a while the mind will kick up every thought of lack, want, and poverty that it can.  It will feel as though things are getting worse. 

Some believe it is the universe’s way of helping you by bringing up all that is in opposition to your intention so that it can be surrendered.  Others believe the negative programs of the mind are defending themselves.  Either way there are a few things you must do.

First you must have made a resolute decision, not a wish or a hope.  (More on this later)  You must make this decision strong enough to ride out the waves of negativity that come up.

(By the way these waves of negativity don’t always arise.  It depends on your history and on what you are focusing the power of mind on attracting into your life.  I’ve found the more important the goal to my life mission the more negativity that arises.

Second you must not resist the negativity too much or you will prevent it from passing through your awareness.  Allow it up with acceptance and forgiveness.

Helpful affirmations to keep you on track are.

“I now release the pattern in my consciousness that created_____”(name of limitation)from Louise Hay

“I am now willing to release and let go of all limitations—past or present—I am at peace”.

“I forgive and accept myself for having this pattern and release all the negativity in this pattern now.”

“I am now released from everything and everybody that are no longer part of the divine plan for my life.  Everything and everybody that are no longer part of the divine plan for my life now release me.” From Catherine Ponder

Also the work of the students of Lester Levenson—Larry Crane’s Release Technique and Hale Dwoskin’s Sedona Method—are very helpful at releasing subconscious negativity.  They address what Lester believed were the 2 main blocks to letting go of limitations.

1.  The belief that you can’t
2. The unwillingness to do so

You can get through this phase of cleansing.  You can have a prosperity and wealth consciousness where you have all the abundance in the world.  Even if you’ve stopped a million times before you can choose right now to continue.

The good news is if you really focus you can turn yourself around in a matter of days, weeks, or months….rather than years. 

I’ll wrap up this post with a quote of Lester Levenson’s that just about sums up how you can manifest your desires and make the law of attraction work for you in your life….and to do it now.

“It is possible to eliminate years of accumulated wrong thinking in one single thought if that one thought be powerful enough, that is, effected with tremendous will.”
