Wayne Dyer Part 2

So back to Mr. Dyer. Manifestation is something that I try to incorporate into my life....I know it works, as it has many times before. I know we all get better with practice...just as in almost anything in life. I first learned of these techniques from the amazing movie and book called The Secret.

Many people watch this and feel its "hokey pokey...fulla crap" but that there in tells you pretty much every thing you need to know about that person and how fulfilling their life is. The techniques are quite simple...but the key is to practice daily. I should be watching that movie every week...reading the book each month...to try and create a positive habit. I have vision boards up in front of me in my office filled with photos of my "ideal life" it is inspiring to gaze upon it.

Wayne takes manifestation to another level...which I have practiced before...but again, I let it slip...so this has inspired me to get back on that fabulous train! He believes you should write it down in the present tense..."I am __________" not, I hope to, wish to, will...because all of those denote that you actually "do not". He says that the sub-conscious mind cannot differentiate between that which is reality, or what we BELIEVE to be reality....so we must simply believe it is already true. So for example, if you want to loose 10 lbs. Don't write down "I want to lose 10lbs" instead, write down " I am 140lbs and feel great" insert what ever # feels great to you. "I am a successful writer", "I am a wonderful grandmother" (I think my mom uses this one daily without even realizing it.....I am sure it will work for her one day).

The next step is to breath in while saying to yourself "I am_________" and on the exhale repeat "I am". Ensure you feel wonderful while in the process of manifestation, and you inject passion into it...and believe it will work. As you do this, in your mind point to the piece of paper where you wrote everything down. Don't share your manifestations with anyone, because the moment you do that, says Mr. Dyer, you then have to explain why...you may start to justify it...and you pop right back into the ol egoic mind....you know the one, that natters to you all day filling your brains with "what if this, what if that...I should this and you should that...the one that strangles you with fear and keeps you in that nice safe little box...the one that prevents you from achieving your dreams" bottom line...keep it to yourself...you are entitled to whatever you desire!

Now the final key to manifestation in Mr. Dyers eyes is that it must feel natural. For example...if my manifestation is "I am a six feet tall black man who is an NFL champion" well...that simply doesn't feel natural (not without a shit load of surgery anyway). So be sure your manifestations feel natural. And watch what you say dang it....if you go around telling people that you will always be poor...or you are content with your life...then you will start to believe it..and that is just exactly what you will get. You are your thoughts indeed...so think big...what do you have to loose?

Lastly, Mr. Dyer said that the last 3 minutes before you fall asleep are the most important moments you have to tap into your sub-conscious mind. So instead of rehashing your shitty day at work, or that guy that cut you off in traffic...that client that you want to punch in the head....try doing a silent manifestation...place your attention on all of the things you are grateful for, the life you desire...all of the positive things that make you smile....and try this with your kiddies.

Life is beautiful if you want it to be!

Enjoy.

Wayne Dyer Part 1

I bought tickets to see Wayne Dyer live last night, and it was great! I have read some of his books, listened to the wise words on his CDs and generally enjoy his insightful teachings. Ivan was interested in attending as well.

To my surprise the Queen Elizabeth Theatre was PACKED with over 2000 answer seekers in attendance. The energy was fantastic. We sat in the nosebleed seats, but still had a wonderful experience. The evening started off with a group meditation, which was exactly what I needed after a long day of work...it was very peaceful to hear silence fall across a room filled with so many living souls.

Wayne is now 70 and looks fantastic...same soothing, warm voice as I hear on his CDs, wonderful sense of humor, and sparkling yet calm energy.

What resonated for me the most out of his talk is something that we all intrinsically know, yet forget in the monotony of life. Get up, shower, dress, brush, eat, work, eat, work, eat, talk, bitch about work, sleep-repeat. So many of us blindly float below the surface of life....as I like to think of it. There is more...much more..he believes that we all have "music" in us...a life's purpose. How do we know if it has been fulfilled..."If you are still breathing...it has not" says Wayne. So, you and I, are either living, or in search of our life's purpose. His is enlightening human beings...his daughter Sky's is to sing, my colleagues is to help sick children, and the guy down the street creates beautiful breads for his customers. It's finding our "bliss" that thing that makes your heart sing...that thing you would do, even if no one paid you for it...that thing for me is writing and cooking for loved ones. I think I came to that realization just last night...and it's exciting.

It has taken me many years to find this....would I love to have a career out of it...hell yeh...but until such time, I am thrilled that I started my blog, and tickled to find new recipes to test on my friends and family.

The other main point I gleaned from Mr. Dyer is his techniques for manifestation. I shall continue this tomorrow as I am exhausted and must wake up early for yoga. until then good night and enjoy!
