Manifesting Your Good

How to manifest your desires

1. Find a quiet place to relax. Make sure to keep your back straight, and relax either sitting, or laying. You should try to make this a daily thing is possible. Manifesting is like feeding a fire. The more wood you give the fire, the larger it grows. Manifestation needs to gather momentum before you can really see its full extent. 

A lot of times, people hear about the law of attraction, also known as manifesting...and think that it will happen almost instantly. They are not far with the theory, but you need to gather the energy for things to move faster. I have been manifesting for years and years! Yes, things do randomly happen to fall on my lap when desired, but I have been feeding my manifestation's fire for a long time. Just like working out, if you don't keep it up- you won't tone. 

Depending on how determined you are about your goal, determines how fast it will manifest. It usually takes someone with intense desire to feed their manifestation into effect. Remember, if you think feeding your manifestation everyday is a hastle; the rewards you get from doing so will make you forget about the feeding. Career, finance, love, personal, WHATEVER!

2. Begin to breathe comfortably, taking a deep breath as you go along.  After some time, begin to imagine yourself completing your goals.

Really feel the emotions that you would after completing your goals. Make it as vivid as you can. Bring the future into the present, and feel yourself living your life happily. Do this for as long as you would like. Longer practice brings more positive light to ones life. Make it a daily part of living for the best results. Remember to keep your manifestation reasonable to your current position in life. You can't expect to manifest a million dollars in one week. It's possible, but until you get the hang of how it works- keep it simple. Try something like- a date, or a gig you may want. A few months ago, I decided to get back into DJing. I took a day to manifest it, just keeping it as vivid as possible. The next day, my friend met someone with the opportunity. YEAH! That fast.

3. To maintain your manifestation, try a little more than just a daily meditation. Try to feel grateful for the things you do currently have. Gratitude opens your chakras so that you can generate more into your life. Your manifestations may not always produce someting tangible like a job, but it will make connections to get you to your goal. You may meet someone who later hooks you up, or you may find soemthing that helps you succeed. Be grateful for the synchronicity's entering your life. This will allow you to see the grand design behind manifestations.

4. Let go of fears of loss, inadicquacy, and other negative energy. If you want positive, you have to generate positive. Some people try to manifest, but never take themselves out of a negative thinking pattern. You cant generate positive if you are focused on the negative. No matter how shitty things seem right this second, it will only stay that way if you don't change. It all starts with your thinking. Learn how to control your emotions here. Try it!

5. Don't try to control your manifestations. Sometimes we want something so bad, we ask for it, and then try to control the details of how it gets done. The universal energies don't work that way. You have to ask, manifest, and let go. The universe will literally make all the moves as ong as you pay attention to the sugns around you. 

You have a crap job that you just can't stand anymore, and you manifest a new career. When it's time to clearly make the next move (maybe you get fired)... you flinch (fighting for this job you don't want)- it's just not going to manifest. You have to be willing to go with the flow. If you fight the current, you will drown. 

Remember, the universe and the spirit realm are always available to help us. "Trust in the force"-Yoda, Starwars. I promise that if you follow these steps, you will find a new reality.

30 Day Shaman Training, Advanced

Way of the Shaman, Mediumship, & Psychic Training

Days 1-6: Nature Cleansing Meditation

 Nature can seriously do everyone some good. It clears your mind, relaxes you, and energizes you. The colors, smells, sounds, and experiences you have in nature all impact your mind, body and spirit. It’s vital to do these types of exercises regularly as they can bring you long lasting positive effects.

. Here’s how to do it:

1.     Find a nice quiet place you won’t be bothered. Preferably away from city noises so that you can immerse yourself deeper into the practice.

2.     Relax your entire body, and begin to let go of all thoughts tied to your life, humanity, anything non-nature oriented. The best tactic for this I have found is to pretend that today is the last day of the world, and all else doesn’t matter anymore.

3.     When you feel like you have achieved a sense of serenity, close your eyes and listen to the environment around you. Become it.

4.     Feel what it is like to be nature. Forget humanity and its complications.  Spend as long as you would like doing this. You may also enjoy sitting amongst plants/trees, and pretending to be one of them. Experiencing reality from different viewpoints.

Days 7-15: Chakra Focus Meditation

 Nature connects you to your chakras. Your chakras hold a lot of your physical and mental health. When you connect to your chakras you not only feel better, but you understand yourself better. A clear connection can clear up complications you have been dealing with internally, and externally. When you connect to your chakras and nature, life has new meaning.

1.     Find a nice quiet place you won’t be bothered.

2.     Relax your body, and begin feeling your body. Connect with it as deep as you can.

3.     Now start focusing on your pelvis, and that it’s emanating a cherry red. Imagine it’s a red sphere. When you feel like it’s ready (your body will tell you) move on to your navel area.

4.     Again, focus on a sphere in this location, this time a nice fruit orange. When you feel ready move on to the solar plexus.

5.     Focus on happy yellow then move to the center of your chest where your heart would be. Focus on green this time. Then your throat, and the color blue.

6.     Next, move to your third eye, just above your eyebrows in the middle. Focus on Indigo.

7.     Move to the center of the top of your head, where you put a crown. Focus on the purest white light coming in from this point feeding all your previously worked chakras.

8.     Do this for 30 – 60 mins, or longer if you wish.

Days 16-22: Subconscious Diving

 Your subconscious holds all of your current life, and past life memories. If you don’t regularly push yourself to clean it out, you have lingering problems that seem to never leave. By diving into your subconscious you can change your life for the better and rid yourself of negative habits, memories, and thoughts. To be constantly at a serene state, you must know who you are, and where you generate your current self.

1.     Find a relaxing spot where you can sit, or lay down uninterrupted.

2.     Relax, and take a few deep breathes. Let go of all the thoughts of the day, and all the stresses in your life that are currently present.

3.     Ask yourself a question such as, “Why am I angry when …; Why do I…etc” Let your mind and soul take you to the place where that habit, thought, or memory resides in your subconscious. Don’t try to control where you go as you will fail in reaching the true location of the negative pattern.

4.     If taken to a memory, try to resolve the situation from your current point of view. If taken to a thought, dissect it. If dealing with negative habits, ask for light to rid you of them. Address anything that comes up, and breathe if it is heavy/hard.

5.     Do this for as long as you can. Your subconscious has timed files, meaning you can only spend so long at the location to correct the pattern. It make take you several times to correct the pattern.

Days 23-30: Celestial Mediation

Now that you have connect with the environment, your chakras, and yourself…it’s time to take it to the skies. When you are in harmony with yourself on these multiple levels, you can access hidden information and healing light. This will take you to new heights of understanding of reality, and everything that encompasses matter. A truly powerful experience.

1.     Relax somewhere quiet and private.

2.     Take deep breathes, letting go of everything. If you find it hard to do this, start by doing 5 – 10 minutes of the previous three meditations until you reach this state of complete open harmony.

3.     Let yourself go completely. Let the universal energies take you to the celestial realms.

4.     The amount of time you spend there is completely dependent on how long you can maintain a trance, or however long the information that is being delivered to you takes.

5.     You can do this, multiple times a day. Just make sure to always center yourself after every experience so that you absorb the lessons and light given to you.

6.     Reflect on what you experienced.

Emotional Evocation

Controlling emotions

An intermediate method of controlling emotion involves neutralizing an
emotion by evoking it's opposite. It consists of controllingone's
breathing, combined with visualization and sometimes the use of
special gestures. When one emotes, one's breathing, posture, facial
expression and musculature all follow fairly predictable patterns.  

Actors use this knowledge to evoke specific emotions and enhance their
performance. We can use this knowledge to control the reactions from
inappropriate emotional response. This technique will not eliminate
emotion all together.  At first, one still feels the emotion, but it no
longer has control over the body and one's actions. Later in the
practice, one can dispel an emotion with just a gesture or thought.

One begins to control emotional reactions in this way by breathing in a
certain manner, depending on the reaction you wish to control, while
evoking appropriate memories of past emotion, and possibly the forming of
a special symbol with the hands. The use of a hand gesture allow one to
associate it with the emotional state one wishes to evoke via classical
conditioning.  After long practice, while using this method in regular
meditation, the desired reaction will become so associated with the
forming of the symbol with the hands, that doing that alone will bring
about the desired reaction. In the beginning one should continue the
breathing cycle until the emotional reactions cease.

When one feels excited, nervous, or any other highly discordant emotional
state, breath thusly: deeply inhale to the count of 8 heart beats, then
without pause exhale fully to the count of 8 heart beats. While
breathing in this manner call to mind past events when you have felt in
control of yourself, full of strength and purpose. 

You may form the hand symbol for this and the following breathing
patterns thusly:

   1. Place your hands together, palm to palm.
   2. Next slightly separate them, while still allowing all the finger
       tips to touch.
   3. Let the pinkie finger and thumb, of the left hand, reach toward
        each other and touch, to form a ring.
   4. Then, let the pinkie finger and thumb of the right hand reach thru
       the ring formed by your left to touch, forming another ring.
   5. You should now have two interlocking rings formed by the pinkie finger and thumb of each hand. 

When feeling sorrowful, in pain, obsessive or any rigid/unyielding
emotional state, breath in this manner: inhale slowly and deeply for a
count of 8 heart beats, pause for 3 heart beats, then quickly exhale
fully, then pause 3 heart beats before inhaling again. Concurrently
bring into mind, those events when one's actions truly flowed with the
nature of c'thia; your response always seemed appropriate, and you always
felt a calm sensitivity to events around you. Form a hand symbol using
the third finger and thumb similar to the symbol above.

When feeling easily manipulated, timid, fearful, tired or any inactive,
withdrawing emotion, breath like this: quickly and deeply inhale, and
without pausing quickly and fully exhale. As above, while breathing you
must focus your mind on events when you felt powerful, full of energy,
active, decisive. Form the hand symbol with the second finger and the
thumb.

When feeling selfish, jealous, patronizing, clutching or any narcissistic
emotion, breath in this way: deeply and quickly inhale, then pause for 3
heart beats, next slowly fully exhale to a count of 10 heart beats, and
pause 3 heart beats before beginning again. Concentrate on events where
you felt benevolent, accepting, and truly realized the value of t'triahve
(the concept of IDIC). Form the hand symbol with the index finger and
thumb.

Controlling the flow of Thought

Improving your focus

In this meditation, you attempt to direct the stream of thoughts either
towards some object or away from it. You may chose either to begin, but
by doing both at different times you will gain more from it. In directing
your thoughts toward some object, you pick a subject and strive to direct
your attention to it and to keep your attention from straying onto a
different subject. 

For example, you may sit and study the wall across from you. Look at the
wall, observe the texture of the wall, think of the materials the wall
consists of, examine the many shades of color, focus your attention on
the wall. When you stray off into another subject, once you become aware
of it, simply turn your attention back to the wall. Again, at first
attempt 5 minutes and gradually increase the time as you find the
meditation easier.

In order to turn your thoughts away from a subject, you simply focus your
attention on another subject, or group of subjects. The fascinating thing
about this version of the meditation - once you try to command your mind
to ignore a subject, the more your mind will try to focus on it.Pain
seems like good subject for this meditation, which gives a glimpse of the
meditations to come. Of course,one can chose any subject. 

Unless you have a very limber body try this: sit on the ground with your
legs straight out in front of you. Lean over your legs, stretch out your
arms and try to grasp your feet around their bottoms. Don't fret if you
cannot reach that far, simply let the hands grasp the legs as far up as
they can. At the point where you feel a pain, in the back of your legs,
almost too intense to endure, stop there and grasp.

Stay in that position, and begin the cycles of 10 breathing meditation.
Try at first for 30 seconds. If you cannot last 30 seconds you may have
stretched too far. Pain does serve a useful function, it warns the body
of impending damage, do not stretch too far, too fast. If you easily last
30 seconds you have not stretched far enough. If you cannot feel any pain
when you grasp your feet, you probably do yoga or something similar -
find a painful position which will not damage you.

While sitting this way, turn your thoughts toward some subject. Simply focus on something other than the pain. If you find you can do this for 20 or more minutes
consider moving on to the next meditation.

Final Space

Helps clean the subconscious of lingering emotions and stress.

*NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CLINICALLY PRONE INDIVIDUALS

1. Find a nice relaxing space where no one will bother you, and keep a notebook with pen handy. 

2. Begin breathing, and relax every muscle, and portion of your being. 

3. Imagine you are in a space craft that has ran out of fuel. You only have a few hours before life support goes down. You decide to use the remaining time you have writing your final words to those closest to you. You may have things to say to others outside your immediate circle. 

4. Think about what you would say, or write. Feel free to write these thoughts down on your notepad.  

5. Reflect on your final thoughts. Is there unfinished business you should take care of to make yourself feel better? Perhaps a, "I love you.".... or just a real heart to heart with someone?

Use this information to better yourself and your relationships.

Creating connections

Increase consciousness and mindfulness. 

Close your eyes and imagine a person you care about sitting right in front of you. Imagine looking at and interacting with this person. Study them. Take note of these following emotional responses. Write down what you came up with for each one. 

1. Openness

2. Empathy

3. Compassion

4. Loving kindness

5. Sympathetic joy

6. Equanimity

Developing these qualities is a way to channel your energy's and building stronger and healthier relationships. These attitudes are interdependent; each influences the other and by cultivating one you cultivate them all.  Feel free to try this with any considerable relationship you have.
