The Creative Process

Creative Process
The law of attraction states that what we think about and focus on most, we will bring about into our experience. This is a conscious process, where you are co-creating your experience with the universe or your Higher Power. There are three steps in the creative process of creating your own experience.

Step 1: Ask
The asking step means that you ask the universe or Higher Power that which you are wanting. What do you really want?

Step 2: Answer
This step is the answer step, the universe or Higher Power will do this step for you. You will not know how or when your wish or desire will be delivered to you. But trust and have faith that the universe will rearrange itself to bring your wish into your experience.

Step 3: Receive

In order for your wish to happen and for the universe or Higher power to bring you your wish, you must put yourself in alignment and a state of being open to receive. You must bring yourself into a higher frequency of vibration and be open to receiving. You can do this by feeling good. If you are feeling good, feeling grateful, joyous, optimistic, happy, hopeful, you will receive what you are asking for. However, if you have a mindset of negativity and are vibrating at the lower frequencies and pushing back, that which the universe or Higher Power is trying to bring to you, it will not come to you. That means is you are in a chronic way of thinking in a negative way and feeling bad, as in feeling anger, despair, frustration, lack, depression, you are not in alignment with what you really want, and the universe or Higher Power cannot bring you that which you are wishing for.

In order to manifest your wish into your existence, you must become one with your wish. You must become in alignment with your desires.

“Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.”
-Colin Powell


Creative Process Exercise
Step 1: Asking:
In chapter one, the goal setting exercise required that you list, in detail, that which you really wanted. Review your list now. This is what you are asking the universe or Higher Power for. Remember spell it out, be specific, pay very close attention to your thoughts and feelings when you finalize your list. If this exercise is difficult for you, start by writing down what you do not want and then rephrasing that list into a positive list that is detailed and the opposite of your do not want list.
(List from chapter two)
1) I wish to spend 3 hours a day, one on one time with my family, playing, laughing and having fun together at the park.
2) I wish to exercise for 30-60 minutes 3-5 times a week, including walking, bicycle riding, weight lifting and swimming.
3) I wish to work in an environment that allows me to strive, not just survive, I wish to be successful and promoted to manager within the year.
4) I wish to meet my soul mate and be involved in a loving, caring, sharing and passionate relationship with this person and partner.
5) I wish to make “$ XX” dollars a year.

Step 2: Answer
This step the universe or Higher Power does for you. The universe or Higher Power is very creative, far more than we can even imagine. Your task is to figure out what you desire, what you really want, and let the universe or Higher Power bring it to you. The universe or Higher Power figures out how and when, that is not your decision. You may have in mind how you would expect what you want to come to you, but if you focus on the how and when, you are limiting the universe or Higher Power in its ability to bring your desires to you. Do not fixate in your mind the how or what; let the magic of the law of attraction work for you. It may come from a source or way you never imagined. Miracles do happen.

Step 3: Receiving

This is the receiving step. The way you change the way you think, feel and speak can greatly improve your likelihood of receiving that which you desire. Emotions play two key roles in the creative process. First, emotions feed your desire. If you really want something and it makes you feel good, you are more likely to maintain your focus and act when necessary in order to bring the thing or experience to you. Secondly, emotions raise your energy vibration of good or desire. Energy attracts like energy, if you emit strong vibrations of positive energy, the universe or Higher Power will respond with the same in return. Emotions can be heightened and ingrained into your desire by using an acute sense of imagination. The more you focus and imagine your desires with emotions, the more likely you are to receive your wish.

In this part of the exercise, take one of your wishes, what you are asking for and imagine that wish with emotional clarity, using all five senses. It is very important that you really feel what that experience would be like.
1) I wish to spend 3 hours a day, one on one time with my family, playing, laughing and having fun together at the park.
Now imagine yourself in the park, playing with your family and children. Imagine the breeze on your face. Feel your self pushing your children on the swings. Feel the sand in the sand box. Smell the freshly cut grass. Hear the park noises, dogs barking, children laughing, lawn mowers churning. See the park layout in your mind; imagine the tiny details, the blades of grass, the gravel, and the chain links on the swings. Hold onto that thought!

Act as if it is true
Once you have a pretty good idea of exactly what you want, you have let go and have faith in the universe or Higher Power to worry about the how and when, and you have imagined what the desire would look like to every last detail, now; believe as if it has already happened. Once you have your ask list, believe you can have it, believe you deserve it and act as if it already true.
Go out and do what ever you can to put yourself into the feeling place of having it now. For example, it is a new car you are wishing for, go test drive that car and remember that feeling. Do not let go of that feeling until it manifests into your experience.

If it is good health that you are seeking, hold an image of you with a healthy body, imagine every detail, using all five senses. Imagine yourself doing all of the things that you want to do in this healthy body, feel it, feel good and get into the feeling place of having it now. Hold this image as you are walking your dog and feeling good, imagine your healthy body walking your dog every day, for longer and longer distances as your body heals and recovers. Imagine your body replacing the sick and diseased cells with new healthy cells and focus on the final outcome, a health body, one that feels good and can do many things! Hold that image; remember that feeling as often as you can during your day and the act as if it is already true. Use your imagination and believe it!

“Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.”
-Lauren Bacall

If you are feeling that this is all impossible, and are feeling stuck in your current situation or health status and you cannot imagine what it would be like to feel good or health, remember, anything in our universe is possible. You can begin to change your current reality and begin to change your health and your life when you learn, accept and practice the creative process. If you are imagining yourself only in your current situation and health status, and offering your thoughts only on what you are observing, your illness or disease, you will only get more of that. Find a way to focus on what you really want, feel it, imagine it and act as if you already have it. It is up to you to imagine, then co-create it with the universe or Higher Power, just the way you want.

“Nothing is unthinkable, nothing impossible to the balanced person, provided it arises out of the needs to life and is dedicated to life’s further developments.”
-Lewis Mumford

Study and Practice of the Creative Process
Once you decide what you want, stick to it until you have received it. The more detailed and consistent your message the universe is, the faster it will be delivered to you. Let us say you are wishing for the strength and ability to walk with your dog for two full miles. Then a few weeks later, you still cannot walk this distance, your wish has not yet arrived, so you figure that you have asked for too much, or even worse you lose your faith in the process. If you then change your mind to ask for something less, like being able to walk one mile with your dog, or you let thoughts of doubt enter your mind, the universe or Higher Power becomes confused as to what you are really wanting and what to bring to you, or reads your thoughts of doubts, the end result is that the universe or Higher Power will not bring you either one.

“True miracles are created by men where they use the courage and intelligence that God gave them.”
-Jean Anouilh

Guiding Your Emotions: Feel Good!

Humans have feelings, these feelings result from our thoughts. They are a feedback system to tell you if what you are thinking about makes you feel good and is alignment with what you really want. Or, if what you are thinking about makes you feel bad and is not in alignment with what you really want. We have many feelings, so our body designed an Emotional Guidance System to help us understand what we are thinking.

Truly, there are only two emotions that we need to be concerned with. All feelings will fit in one or the other category. One emotion is good; this emotion makes an individual feel good. These are feelings of love, joy, happiness, optimism, passion, faith and hope. These feelings tell us, that what we are thinking is alignment with what we really want. The other emotion is bad; this emotion makes an individual feel bad. These are feelings of anxiety, fear, depression, guilt, envy, anger, rage, hatred, despair, pain. These feelings tell us that what we are thinking is not in alignment with what we really want.

So when you are thinking about what you are attracting, ask yourself, how do you feel? Do you feel good? Then keep thinking those thoughts! If you are feeling bad, then immediately guide your thoughts to an item, object, person, pet or idea that makes you feel good. Do what you can to keep you mind focused on only good feelings. You will then attract only good into your experience. The better you feel, the more in alignment you are with what you really want, the worse you feel, the further you are from what you really want. So do only things and think only things that make you feel good, as your thoughts are creating and forming your future experience.

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.”
-Buddha

Feel Good Exercise
Everyone needs to have a “feel good place”. When they are having a bad day or bad experience, feeling upset, sad, fearful or doubtful, immediately turn your attention to your “feel good place”. This will raise your body’s vibrations from the lower frequencies to the higher frequencies and bring you into a state of receiving, as opposing to pushing back. Create a “feel good place”, make it detailed so that all five senses are involved. Here is an example, close your eyes, hold the image for at least 30 seconds, or as long as it takes for the good feeling to take over the bad feeling.

Imagine that you are at the beach, it is a hot sunny day, you feel the heat of the sun on your skin, you feel a drip of sweat roll down your back, you walk on the beach feeling every tiny piece of sand on your feet and between your toes. You can smell the ocean, the salt water and the sun tan oil. You are so relaxed and peacefully happy. In the distance you see a dolphin gracefully glide and jump out of the water, doing a summersault for you and only you. You suddenly hear the tropical Caribbean steel drum band playing island music. You reach for your glass and taste the sweet tropical drink. You feel good.

The practice of guiding your feelings and shifting your emotions can transform your life. Stay focused on things and thoughts that make you feel good, do not let anything change your good mood. If you have a bad day or bad thing happen to you, hold strong to your good mood. You will then continue to attract only good experiences, and people that will help you to keep that good mood, bringing you up higher and higher. Whatever your previous thoughts and actions have done in your life and brought around your current situation, such as your condition or disease, it can be undone by learning how to shift your awareness to manifest only health and positive experiences in your life.
“You create your own universe as you go along.”

Surviving and Thriving with Chronic Illness

Return to work is a challenge that most individuals who have become chronically ill, are coping with an addictive disease, or have sustained an injury, encounter at one time or another or potentially on an ongoing basis. There is ample literature available that documents that the longer an individual is out of work following an illness or injury, the less likely he or she will return to work. In addition, the individual who does not return to work is often found to have increased disability and medical costs, increased emotional and financial stress, poor self esteem, higher likelihood of depression and lower levels of function. All of these factors are negative and can lead to a life focus of disease and disability. This can lead to a snowball effect of cascading health problems.

“Nothing is more fatal to our health than an over care of it”
-Benjamin Franklin

Therefore, unless you are finically secure, the important thing is that you do try to work. Working will bring about a change in your mind and thoughts to bring about positive feelings of accomplishment, optimism, hope, confidence, strength and joy. Working provides an opportunity to turn feelings of self-pity, boredom, loneliness and depression into positive energy. We can improve our health by return to work and experiencing positive emotions as opposed to focusing on our situation.

“Self pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to is, we can never do anything wise in this world.”
-Helen Keller

Striving, not just Surviving
It is important to have a work-related goal, whether it is related to finances, success, promotion or finding work that you enjoy and feel fulfilled while doing. It is important to strive, not just survive at work. The more passionate and fulfilled you are in your work or career, the more successful you may become. Here are some tips on striving in the workplace when coping with a medical condition.

1) Don’t let your illness define who you are. You define who you are. The message you want to portray is that your condition is just a card in your deck of cards. Having a chronic illness or condition is neither a source of shame or pride.
2) Focus on what you can control. You may not be able to control the disease or symptoms, but you can control the direction you take and the choices you make regarding working and your condition. Shape your work environment to meet your needs and to fit your limitations.
3) Don’t consider your condition an obstacle. Consider it a challenge, an opportunity.
4) Be honest. Do not hide your illness, do not be ashamed. But if your illness impacts your work, know your rights. Don’t take on an unnecessary burden of pretending you do not have a chronic condition. Be as public or as private as you need to be.
5) Thrive in your environment. Work with your abilities to achieve success, raise the bar, go for satisfaction not just survival. Use visualization to imagine the work environment that you need and want, stay focused and intend it.
6) Focus on the positive. Workplace success when dealing with a chronic illness or condition can be strengthening and transforming. Many new strengths, skills, qualities and confidence we were not aware we possessed evolve or blossom as a result of our illness.


Definition of Disability
Federal law defines a "Disability" as “a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits or restricts the condition, manner, or duration under which an average person in the population can perform a major life activity, such as walking, seeing, hearing speaking, breathing, learning, working, or taking care of oneself. However, an impairment or diagnosis, in and of itself, does not necessarily constitute a disability: it must "substantially limit" these activities.” Another definition describes disability as any restriction or lack (resulting from an impairment) of ability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being.
Many of us shun at the term or label of being “disabled”. Disability infers that we have an “in” ability to do something, or we lack the ability to do something, that the person is not able or less than whole. When outwardly and inwardly we know we are capable of many wonderful things, sometimes we just need to do things differently or with accommodations. Personally, I consider myself “Difabled”.

Definition of Difability
A Difability means an individual can perform specific functions or activities, but does them differently than a normal person would. That such an individual requires accommodations, but with these accommodations is equally effective and productive as a normal, health individual. Difabled individuals have different abilities, not a lack of abilities.

If you are coping with a serious condition, in order for you to succeed, it is critical that you do accept your limitations, identify them, be open about them and work within them. We must be hopeful in our approach to function and change our thoughts that focus on our “lack of ability” or “Disability to our “different ability” or Difability. That is the difference between continued limitations and possibilities. Once you accept your difabilities and learn to work within them, you can achieve success and thrive in any environment that supports you. You can achieve things that you thought were impossible.

“Sometimes what we think is so impossible turns out to be possible after all.”
-K.O’Brien

Change Your Thoughts: Change Your Life

Each person thinks approximately 60,000 thoughts each day. What we choose to think and how we use our will to direct our thoughts is what determines our success in life. As Wayne Dyer says” When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

Change your thoughts, choose new thoughts and you will see new results in your physical life.

Abundance Quote: Gotta have it to give it!

"Abundance is about looking at life and knowing that we have everything we need for complete happiness, and then being able to celebrate each and every moment of life."

Dr Wayne Dyer

Miracles Come From Within!

My life journey has allowed me the opportunity to lose just about everything, including my health and ability to function so that I could stop and take some time to really learn and understand what life and living is truly about. For that I am grateful. I can honestly say, as I studied and internalized the material that I was attracting, out of a strong desire to live more fully, to feel better, to experience a miracle of healing and to educate, inspire and empower others coping with illness or any life struggle to do the same, I began to experience a life of miracles. My success and prosperity has increased after getting involved with the SGR program, that program taugh me more about life and how the universe works, than any other book or program I invested in. It changed my life. I have also significantly improved my health, I ran 5 miles today, several years ago, going up a flight of stairs was so exhausting I would throw up from it. (seriously, the MG kicked my butt!)

I have learned inner peace. I have learned about infinite possibilities, stopping the chatter, removing the doubt and to live on the side of abundance. For me, living with an "abundant attitude" has allowed me to think, feel and act in ways of abundance and put me in the flow of receiving an abundance of all good things. For that I am so very grateful. I understand now, that inner peace, success, optimal health, living in infinite possibilities is a spiritual journey. Not all get there. But few do. I hope you all achieve fuller life expression and the ability to create miracles in your life, whatever they may be and whatever a miracle means to you.

"Your miracles are an inside job. Go there to create the magic that you seek in your life."

-Dr. Wayne Dyer

"When you think positive, happy, loving thoughts, there is a different chemistry that goes on in your body than when you think depressing, negative, anguished thoughts. The way you decide to think has a dramatic effect on your chemistry and on your physiology."

-Dr. Wayne Dyer

Silence Makes the Music

Here is one of my recent favorite quotes:

"It's the space between the bars that holds the tiger, as they say in Zen, and it's the silense between the notes that makes the music."

-Dr. Wayne Dyer.

Gratitude Promotes Optimal Health and Healing

"Feelings of gratitude release positive endorphins throughout the body, creating health."
- Sharon Huffman

Recent scientific literature has begun to illustrate that positive feelings, feelings of love, joy and gratitude do have a positive effect on our health and ability to self heal. These strong, positive feelings do so by enhancing the immune system which then enables the body to resist disease and recover more quickly from illness and injury. Not only does our immune system get stronger, but these positive feelings also release endorphins into our blood stream which are the body's natural pain killers, they also help to dilate the blood vessels which increase blood flow to healing tissues and organ systems it also helps reduce stress on the body and heart.

On the other hand, negative emotions, those emotions of fear, dispair, anger, worry and hopelessness reduce the number of and slow down the movement of disease fighting white blood cells in our blood stream and contribute to the development of stroke or cardiac disease by releasing high amounts of adrenaline into the blood stream. This adrenaline raises blood pressure and constricts blood flow to working and healing tissues and organs.

All in all, when we live in gratitude or experience thankful thoughts, we are facilitating and tapping into our healing capabilities and de-stressing our bodies so that our bodies can heal. This contributes to optimal levels of health and longer healthier lives. Feeling grateful will make us feel better!

"You cannot be grateful and unhappy at the same time."
-Woman to Dr. Tom Costa

So when you are upset, fearful or hopeless, spend some time thinking of all of your blessings, learn to acquire hope and live in hope, you will get better, you will beat whatever you are dealing with, you will attract better results to you!

Consciously Cultivating Thankfulness

The act of consciously cultivating gratitude and living with a thankful mind takes some effort initially, but can become a way of being for those that take this journey of the soul. For those who adopt the attitude of gratitude, this becomes a way of living each day. One begins to look around at his or her life, and see the positive effects and success that gratitude creates. As we partake in the delight and inner peace of a thankful mind and understand the gifts of gratitude, we realize that being grateful is not something remote or foreign, but a natural part of the joyful expression of our human nature. This is when the attitude of gratitude becomes passive, easy, effortless and a part of our every day routine, our way of being.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion to clarity...Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."

- Melody Beattie

Spirit Forms Itself In Your Life Based On Your Thoughts

"Spirit is substance which forms itself according to your demands, and must have a pattern from which to work. A pan of dough is as willing to be formed into bread as biscuit. It makes little difference to Spirit what we demand."

Frances Larimer Warner,Our Invisible Supply: Part One, 1907


I love this concept, this is what the universal laws and law of attraction are all about. There is a universal substance of which all things are made, this substance is a thinking substance, which is always seeking further life expression and fulfillment. Think of that piece of grass that has found its way and is now sprouting out of between the concrete sidewalk, that is spirit, seeking advancement and further life. Think of evolution, an animal species evolves when they find an opportunity for further life and advancement.

This thinking substance is energy, it is God force. It is everywhere, 100% of the time at all times, we are all connected to it. We are connected to everything. Our thoughts cause this thinking substance, this universal life force, this infinite Spirit to attract things, people circumstances to us. We are the co-creators of our life. We are responsible for our failures and our successes, no one else. What we focus on, what we think about, what we imagine is what we attract back to us. There is no such thing as lucky people. Those people who have attracted great relationships, love, success, wealth, a love of life, they have mastered the law of attraction, either consciously or subconsciously.

When you decide to learn, master and internalize this incredible information, life will start to change around you. Like Dr. Wayne Dyer says, "when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." (ref: 10 Secrets to Success and Inner Peace )

As the quote says above, Spirit does not care and know big, vs small requests and thoughts, Spirit will respond to whatever it is that we focus on and how deeply we desire it. Spirit will attract to us everything that we need in order to accomplish our goals, as long as we hold our image in our minds, have a knowing that it is coming, eliminate all doubts and fears, and live in a continuous state of gratitude. This means living in full faith, that is faith with gratitude. Essentially, being thankful for all of the blessings that are coming to us, even before they have arrived!

Happy Holidays, I am so very grateful for my optimaly health, my mind, my friends and family, my success and my ability to give back to the universe/God and inspire, empower and educate so many in beating chronic illness, living in optimal health and aspiring for a fuller life, one that is abundant in all good things.

10 Step Process for Creating a Stress-Free Life

Stress, we all know it and know what it can do to us. It can ravage our bodies causing disease and disability. It can reak havoc on our minds, confusing us and directing us to live in fear and anxiety. It can ruin relationships if we let it. It can take attention away from ourselves and the things in life that are most important. I have found, in success and obtaining optimal health, finding inner peace, and reducing stress is absolutely critical. Here is a summary of the 10 step process Dr. Dyer presents:

Here is a 10 step process for creating a stress-free and tranquil life.

1) Remember that your natural state is joy. You are a product of love and joy, learn to stay in harmony with these feelings.

2) Your thoughts, not the world, cause your stress. (wow...That one is powerful!)

3) You can change your thought of stress in any given moment and eliminate the anxiety for the next few moments, or hours or days. This is a conscious effort that develops out of awareness. Increase your awareness, your power of mind and reconnect to the universe.

4) Monitor your stressful thoughts by checking on your emotional state. How are you feeling???

5) Make a conscious decision and choice to select thoughts (and results) that activate good feelings. (www.ChooseYourResults.com)

6) Spend some time observing babies, and vow to emulate their profound joy.

7) Keep your ego in check. Refer to "Rule number 6". (you are going to love rule #6!)

8) Accept the guidance of your source of intention.

9) Practice silence and meditation or self hypnosis. (I personally needed help with this so I am including some programs that can help: www.SelfHypnosisForLife.com , www.QuantumMindProgram.com , www.HiddenSecretProgram.com , www.6-WeekLifeMakeover.com )

10) Stay in a state of gratitude and awe of all the abundance, love, joy and good that comes to you.

Positive Affirmations for a Stress Free Life

As you know, I am a huge fan of Dr. Wayne Dyer and I'd like to take an opportunity to post some of his reading on positive affirmations, these are focused on living a stress-free, tranquil life. I hope you enjoy and use them as I do and watch how your world, your life improves and you find your inner peace.

The key is to take the path of least resistance and focus on the abundant resources that are here. You as a human, have a thinking center, your mind. With this thinking center you have the ability to create original thought--- that means no matter what external sources (people, newspapers, tv, media) are saying, you can create your own thoughts.

1) Old thought: I feel so uneasy about the state of the economy, I have already lost so much money.

New thought as positive affirmation: I am so happy and grateful now that I live in an abundant universe, I choose to think about what I have and I will be fine. The universe will provide.


2) Old thought: I have so many things to do that I can never get caught up.

New thought as positive affirmation: I am so happy and grateful now that I am at peace. I'll only think about the one thing I am doing. I will have peaceful thoughts.


3) Old thought: I can never get ahead in this job.

New thought and positive affirmation: I choose to appreciate what I am doing right now and I'll attract an even greater opportunity.


4) Old thought: My health is a huge concern. I worry about my health, getting old and becoming sicker and dependent.

New thought as positive affirmation: I am healthy, I am healed, I think healthy. I live in a universe that attracts healing and I refuse to anticipate or give power to sickness.


5) Old thought: My family member/issue is causing me to feel anxious and fearful.

New thought as positive affirmation: I choose thoughts that make me feel good, and this will help me to uplift me and others. I know everything I need in order to handle any situation will be attracted to me in the time it is needed most.

10 Step Plan for Optimizing Healing Capacity

I am a huge fan of Dr. Wayne Dyer, he has been instrumental in my recovery and my ability to heal myself and go into remission.

Please let me share some of his writing with you, it is powerful, inspirational and fun to read.
First, lets start with a quote:

"No one can ask another to be healed. But he can let himself be healed, and thus offer the other what he has received. Who can bestow upon another what he does not have? And who can share what he denies himself?"-A Course in Miracles

Every person on this planet has within him or herself the potential to be a healer, to heal oneself and allow themself to be healed. In order to make conscious contact with your own inherent healing powers, you must make the decision to heal yourself. The only way to be heal is to be healed. Once you have accepted your power to heal yourself and optimize your health, you become someone who is also capable of healing others.

First, become the healing. Learn to reconnect to the disease-free loving perfection from which you were born from. The universal mind knows exactly what you need in order to heal yourself. So you must align yourself with the univeral mind and laws and work in harmony with these laws in order to optimize your health.

Second, take notice of your thoughts and feelings. Note when you are creating resistance to the healing process. Do not speak poorly or negatively of your current health issues. Only think and feel yourself healing and feelin more energetic and vibrant each day. When you focus on the disease, or the lack and limitation, you interfere with healing. I know I did this for years, and I remained so very sick. Once I learned and started to really work at this, I started to get better. Today I feel super! So stop complaining about how bad you feel and focus on how good you feel, as crazy as that sounds, it is necessary.

Do daily affirmations, change your thoughts from sickness to thoughts of wellness, affirm optimal health, visualize yourself with a health body! Remember how we discussed creative visualization earlier? If you want to learn techniques on how to be effective in your visualizations and affiramtios they are presented in my book "Acquired Hope". Daily affirmations and visualizations are such powerful techniques to advance the healing process, please do not over look them.

Lastly, know that illness is not a punishment. Do not intellectualize the disease process, this only separates you from good health. Be encouraged to think of yourself as a healer, as moving towards better health, towards optimal health. Do not overanalyze your condition, if you do you are giving it power!

Here is Dr. Dyer's 10 step program on making optimal health your reality (summarized of course):

1) You can't heal anyone until you allow yourself to be healed.

2) The healing energy that you're connected to at all times is what you have to give away to others.

3) By raising your awareness, your energy to a vibrational match with the universe/power of intention, you are strengthening your immune system and increasing the production of well-being enzymes in the brain.

4) Practice Surrender!

5) Don't ask to be healed, ask to be restored to that perfection from which you came from.
6) Know that you are loved and adored.

7) Seek out and cherish the silence, find inner peace!

8) Identify with the wholeness that you are.

9) Allow an abundance of good health to flow into your life. Practice the art of allowing.

10 ) Stay immersed in a state of gratitude.

I love it!

Everything You Need is Already Here

I have found this 10 step program on succcess very helpful, I hope it serves you well!

"When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you." -Lao Tzu

One of the greatest secrets to success and attracting abundance into your life is to internalize this: when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.


Now, ask yourself, how do you look at life? Well the Universe, is always giving, constantly and always seeking advancement and further life expression. This universal source can only work with you when you are in harmony with it.

Pay attention to your thoughts and your feeling. Abundance in the natural state of the universe, when you are pushing back, pushing against or not allowing, you are impeding the flow of abundance to you. Negative thoughts and feelings such as doubt, worry, fear, shame, anxiety or blame are clear indications you are not in harmony with the universal laws.

If you desire something, but feel poorly, such as doubt you deserve it doubt it is possible or feel like it will never happen, you set up instant roadblocks and your desire cannot come to you. When you open up your mind, raise your awarenss and beging to think and feel like the Universe, that everything you need is already here and that you are already connected to it, that is when the things start to arrive in your life.

Here are some suggestions from Dr. Wayne Dyer on how to make your success your reality, these are powerful!

1) See the world as an abundant, providing, friendly place.

2) Affirm: I attract success and abundance into my life because that is who I am.

3) Stay in an attitude of allowing.

4) Use your present moments to activate thoughts that are in harmony with Intention (the universe).

5) Initiate actions that support your feelings of abundance and success.

6) Remember that your prosperity and success will benefit others, that no one lacks abundance because you have opted for it.

7) Monitor your emotions as a guidance system for your connection to the universal mind of intention.

8) Become as generous to the world with your abundance as the field of intention is to you.

9) Devote the necessary time to meditate on your success and abundance.

10) Develop an attitude of gratitude for all that manifests in your life.


I find this 10 step program so powerful! It can be used in all aspects of your life, optimal health, recovery from illness, manifesting people and good relationships etc, just change the focus of your affirmations, thoughts and goals.

Wishing you abundance, I am grateful for mine!
