09 Dec 08 The Value of Affirmations
There are certain immutable laws that govern the process of materializing wishes seemingly out of thin air, and once these laws are complied with, anyone can make their dreams a reality — with absolute certainty.
Does this sound far-fetched?
A BBC Report suggests this about our subject … (Courtesy of the BBC) Affirmations, Visualisations and Self-improvement: Where it gets interesting is when we move away from spiritual practice and look at the self-improvement movement which has become so popular in the 20th and 21st Centuries. Early writers within the self-help movement were Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie. The original focus was on development of character and moral qualities as a human being, and on material success and achievement. The techniques which worked were adapted by sports people, and there is a loosely symbiotic relationship today between people coaching success in sport, business and in personal contexts. The two techniques which became standards are daily affirmation, and visualization.
If so, I need you to suspend your disbelief until you hear the whole story because I assure you — this will be positively electrifying.
Emile Coué, the 19th century French professor and Master Hypnotist, became a pioneer of affirmation techniques — curing hundreds of patients in Europe and North America by teaching his patients to repeat the following affirmation each morning and evening:
“Every day, in every way, I’m getting better and better.”
Using this affirmation alone, the healing results were nothing less than spectacular.
Affirmations have long been recognized as a powerful tool in manifesting desires. That’s because the subconscious mind cannot differentiate between actual reality and suggestions. Therefore, it processes suggestions (or affirmations) as being real — and goes about using its powerful creative ability — and that of the nervous system — to actualize those affirmations.
For this reason, people from all walks of life — from athletic coaches, to sales professionals, to religious leaders, and peak performance experts (like Anthony Robbins) promote the practice of affirmations.
Subliminal Technology Puts Manifestation on “Steroids”
In the 1950s, an advertising expert named James Vicary, started testing subliminal advertising in movie theaters. He inserted subliminal frames containing the words, “EAT POPCORN” and “DRINK COKE” within the reels of film. During the movie, the subliminal messages went by so fast that the unsuspecting audience didn’t consciously see the words, but their subconscious minds perceived the suggestions. As a result, Coke sales jumped 18.1% and popcorn sales skyrocketed by 57.7%.
Remember, there is no such thing as “luck” or “chance”, when we are open and receptive what we need and what we need to know, comes to us in the perfect way and at the perfect time…
Goal setting software Subliminal advertising proved to be too powerful that it was eventually outlawed. But what if you could use the same technology to install empowering affirmations into your subconscious — beneath the threshold of your conscious mind? Now, you can flash subliminal messages on your computer screen while you work! It’s like advertising to your own subconscious mind and having your desires manifest at an unprecedented speed.

08 Dec 08 You Have the Power to Achieve Success
You have always sought success in all that you do but most of the time you stopped because you thought you failed. What you did not know was that you actually did not fail. You merely lacked the motivation to get yourself going. You forgot that deep inside you lies an immense power waiting to be unleashed.
How many times have you desired to make something happen and yet it remains what it was since you thought about it? Have you considered that had you realized earlier that you possess the power to make things happen and achieve success every time you would have gained all the great things that you desired even when the odds are huge?
In your quest for personal development and self-motivation you spent huge amounts of time and money on reading inspirational resources. But how much of what you already read and known do you actually use? Remember, it’s not what you know. In your quest for greatness and success, what really counts is what you do with what you know. That is real power!
Have you ever wondered how successful people seemed to be fail-proof, being able to turn into gold whatever they lay their hands on? What makes them so successful at attaining even the most impossible feat? I’ll tell you what. They are constantly conscious of what great power they possess. When faced with even the most difficult of all challenges they have instant access to their inner resourceful state when all their external resources such as wealth and other material things have failed them.
It is true that we humans possess great power. Throughout the course of history, this power has fully manifested itself in the following ways:
• Great kingdoms were established • Countries were conquered • Electricity was effectively harnessed to improve our way of living • Man was able to travel faster through modern transportation such as cars, airplanes • Man conquered space • Information is now widely and freely available instantly through the Internet, etc.
What do you really desire? Do you desire fame, wealth and health? Do you desire to establish the business of your dreams? Do you desire to marry the woman of your dreams? Or the man of your dreams? Do you want a new car this year? Perhaps you desire to earn a million dollars each year for the rest of your life? Probably all you want is simple happiness with your loved ones?
Whatever it is that you desire you can achieve by the power that was bestowed upon you. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE YOUR DESIRE COME TRUE.
