Learn How to Manifest and Master Your Mind

If you're wondering how to do this, there is a KEY to mastering the mind. The KEY to mind mastery  is finding the center of your body, mind and consciousness....and staying there. Being devoted to it, especially when those 50 crazy horses pull you towards that velvet rut that keeps you stuck in victimization, righteousness, or pretending to be powerless. Now how does one change such deeply embedded habits? With one amazing gift, the ability to surrender deeply and completely to Existence.

The un-enlightened mindset will think that a greater state of control and domination over the mind is obviously how one masters their mind. This is definitely not the case. Being the master of our mind is in fact when we are in our most relaxed, surrendered and receptive state. When we give up the battle and step back we can see the bigger picture. The moment we can see clearly, then EVERYTHING comes into a better perspective. It just so happens that we've spent lifetimes and lifetimes (not to mention this one) deeply attached to The Lie (our ego), trying to fix, change and control our lives (and others) with this mind and it's identity given to us.


I want to share something very personal with you. A very interesting thing happened to me the other night after a half-hour of deep meditation. I come to the realization that ALL the suffering I've experienced in my ENTIRE LIFE was attributed in some way to my attachment to the ideas, complaints, opinions, problems, and inherited issues of other people. I discovered that we human beings have an amazing ability to unconsciously (and naively) allow ourselves to be "infected" by other people's drama and past issues. Either we resist and try to block out their negativity, or we pretend it doesn't affect us.

I was trying to "help others" in some way by letting them vent their issues out to the Universe (hearing their victim story), while meanwhile submitting myself to the impact of their feelings of powerlessness, fear, and anxiety energetically. This energetic "suicide" is something that I've found is often encouraged in this society and often seen as the sign of someone who truly cares about you and is a good friend. We think "they must really care about us if they go along with our story."

So I asked myself, "What would my life be like if I was totally neutral and at peace with everyone's issues and victim stories?" Would I be felt and seen by others as a disconnected, cold, and insensitive human being? What if I choose to remain feeling warm and fuzzy inside, would I still appear to others as being cold, uncaring, and un-compassionate? I then realized that the REAL question here is not to ask "What's in it for me?", but instead "How can I help?"

There is a KEY to Mastering Your Mind...

Mind mastery  is something we all would like to achieve, yet it's probable that only a few of us actually will. And why is that? Mastering the mind is like training 50 wild untamed horses with only one good rope and some sturdy cowboy boots. It takes a raw willingness to face the impossible each day, to meet your worst demons and greet them with a courteous "Hi, how are you doing? Would you like some tea?". It means having an unshakable determination to move beyond every limitation and judgment you have and think is impossible to conquer. It takes the deepest commitment to yourself to find that brilliant Light inside yourself everyday and reveal the Truth that you are an Infinite Being, even in the most embarrassing situations. It takes a burning desire to know and experience that you're an eternal aspect of God (and God Consciousness) and have always been that!

Mind mastery is a commitment to the Truth. It's a decision to live in a state of ecstasy for the rest of your life. It is THE Greatest Opportunity there is. To explore that which you first decided to come to Earth to discover (your infinite nature). Which means as some point, you get to drop all your victim stories, hatred, judgments, childhood issues, faults, problems, worries and beliefs about yourself as a result of knowing the Truth of who you really are...all day long...all year long, forever!

Mind mastery means celebrating your life today, even if you just had the worst year of your life. It's about signing up for a fresh new perspective each morning, and staying committed to the Truth, in each and every moment you're alive.

Remember. Concentrate on the moment. Feel. Don' think. Use your instincts. May the force be with you. ~Star Wars: Episode I. The Phantom Menace

There is something magical about releasing thoughts we are overly attached to. Think about those thoughts/feelings you cannot get rid of, the ones that seem to dominate your entire life, creating internal (and external) chaos. Notice whatever it is that you are attached to (or avoiding) is what's causing you the most suffering in your life right now.

Letting go of feelings or judgments that impede on our energy can actually change our entire understanding of reality. Check it out, you'll see. Maybe it's an idea of what's going to happen in your future, or perhaps an event that occurred in the past. If you wish to experiment with this and begin to release it, first look at what the mind is actually attached to (or avoiding) then take full responsibility for creating it. Watch the thoughts closely every time they come up, yet choose to remain undisturbed at your core...by being aware of your attachment and avoidance of it.

Can you think of anything in the world worth staying attached to? Maybe a good marriage, a solid income, a beautiful home and/or your children? Perhaps these seem good, yet notice what happens to you if those good things go away or change? We start clinging in quiet desperation.

Non-attachment doesn't mean indifference, rather its a state of total freedom in which you are the ultimate choice-maker in your life. Yet the mind has this nasty habit of clinging to everything it thinks gives you pleasure and consistently is getting attached to ideas of "the way it was" OR "the way it will be" and thus missing out on "the way it is right now".

So exactly what is YOUR mind attached to?

If you could release all of your attachments, you could actually find inner peace and happiness in ANY situation you'd get into. Imagine that. What if your life depended on being able to find inner peace and happiness in EVERY situation you are in. Doesn't it already? What would be the first thing you would practice releasing from your thinking tomorrow morning? Be aware...sometimes if you think TOO hard, its difficult to know what we're really attached to or avoiding in our life.

3 Powerful Secrets to Manifesting More of What You Want in Life

1. Set a very strong and specific intention from your heart about what you want to manifest.  The more specific your desire is, the more specific your results will be.  Vague goals create wishy-washy results.  A powerful intention is a true desire that comes from the heart, free from any “shoulds” or “have to’s”.   It feels empowering and freeing to focus on this outcome and you can visualize it manifesting for you. To set a strong intention, make a declaration to the Universe out loud that THIS is what you are manifesting!

2. Detach from the outcome and allow yourself to receive what you want or something better.  This step can be the most difficult trap in manifesting, since the trick is to use less effort and more trust.  Detaching is basically setting your Ego (who you think you are) aside and trusting the Universe completely.  How do you focus on what you want without getting attached to results and trying to make it happen?  The secret is to learn how to release expectations, which are fear-based projections of the mind, and trust that the Universe has already provided the perfect avenue for its manifestation.  This allows you as the receiver to let the desired outcome or experience come to you! 

3. Hold onto the exciting and empowering feeling that what you want to manifest is already here now!  This is a balancing act between being non-attached to the outcome, and exploring the FEELING of the desired result as if it has already happened.  The longer you can hold onto the feeling, the faster it will show up in your life.  Your manifested dream will soon fall right in your lap when you least expect it.

How to Manifest More of Waht You Want

Have you ever wondered why one person walking down a dark alley at night will get mugged while the previous person goes by untouched?  Bad things happen to apparently "good" people and good things happen to seemingly "bad" people all based upon the level of energy that they are vibrating at.

You are like a radio tower that is constantly transmitting a certain frequency into the Universe.  Your thoughts and feelings create an energetic vibration that is sent out into the world.  This vibration is then reflected back to you by the Universe, producing physical results in your personal world.

The truth is that we are always creating something.  Whether you are manifesting what you want or what you don't want depends on the level of your vibration.  We are like manifesting magnets!  We attract what mirrors our feelings and thinking patterns. So what we send out is EXACTLY what we get back!

For example, when we are full of joy, gratitude, or excitement, we tend to send out a high frequency energy, which in turn magnetizes back high frequency experiences like great opportunities, spiritual experiences, positive-minded people, empowering clients, abundant accounts, etc.  On the other hand, when we send out the energy of doubt, frustration, or fear, we tend to magnetize challenging experiences that we don't want.  So all you need to do in order to be successful is to constantly emit high frequency vibrations which will attract your desires to you!

The greatest truth is that you already are a manifesting machine!   You cannot stop manifesting.  We do so everyday!  The real question is... are you creating what you WANT, or stuck in creating what you DON'T WANT?  Whatever you are focusing on is what you will manifest!  If you are constantly thinking about how you wish you had a million dollars that's exactly what you will get...a wish
