Monthly Mind Power Questions & Answers

A Relax. There is a lot of time to find the right partner. Relationships are funny things. They seem to go in cycles. Sometimes there are many people we can choose from, and other times it seems as barren as a desert.

Focus on all your positive qualities. What you bring to the relationship. Why you are an attractive partner. What are all you positive aspects? Write them down. Acknowledge yourself daily. Vibrate these qualities. Also, realize that there are countless numbers of other single people who would love to be with you. They too are looking for someone. Think abundance, not scarcity. Sometimes it just takes the right meeting at the right time.

I suggest you listen to my tape, "Attracting a Fabulous Relationship." It has a proven track record in helping people.

You should also be encouraged to know that thousands of people have found their perfect mates using the techniques I teach in my lectures and books. Practice mind power and you will attract your partner.

A Great idea. When I get back to Canada in October we'll look into doing just that.

A There is an old saying, "God give me the grace to change the things I can. To accept the things I cannot. And to know the difference between the two. Your blindness is a part of who you are. If you focus only on the negative aspects of it (and let's be honest there are many), you are sure to be depressed. But there is no reason to feel ashamed - you are who you are. Accepting your blindness and searching for ways to have a full, meaningful and purposeful life is your challenge. There are many successful blind entrepreneurs and entertainers. Helen Keller was deaf and blind and had not only a full life, but served as an inspiration to millions. Your determination to succeed and your ability to employ Mind Power will assist you greatly. Have a great life and keep in touch.

A Considering you have been praying for 25 years without success I suspect you were doing it incorrectly. So you are probably starting at ground zero. Not knowing you personally I can't be sure, but the following could be the problem. There is a biblical scripture that says, "Whatsoever things ye pray for and ask for believing that ye have received it, ye will receive it." Note that first you believe you have it. This is almost exactly what visualization is. Too often when people pray they put desperation and fear into their prayer, and so this is what they feed the subconscious. Praying or using Mind Powers in the way I suggest in Mind Power Into the 21st Century will be much more effective. Practice this new system, and I look forward to hearing about your new relationship.

A Ill spend the summer (June, July and August) in Vancouver sailing and painting. I'm working on some new books. A tour of South Africa in March/April 1999. And I'll probably do some lectures in Vancouver in September/October 1998. I'm a gypsy at heart so I don't plan too far in advance. I love fun. Fun is a cornerstone of my philosophy. I distrust any system that doesn't honor fun, joy and happiness. And of course to keep working on my web site to make it more of an electronic magazine that can nourish my readers worldwide.

A First lets establish how much time you can devote daily to your exercises. How about 20 minutes? You can do any amount, even just 5 minutes a day, and still get results. I suggest you limit yourself to a maximum of 30 minutes a day, especially as a beginner. Most importantly you want it to be a reasonable time period, short enough that you will do it every day.
So lets set up a basic 20-minute program:

Acknowledging Technique 5 minutes This is such a great technique to build up a success vibration and make you feel in top form.

Affirmations Pick two or three and say one or more for 5 minutes each day. They can be on any subject or towards a particular goal.

Visualization Pick a goal something you want to happen. It can be a short- or long-term goal. Because you are a beginner I suggest you pick something short term, something within a month of happening. Visualize for 5 minutes daily.

Imprint a New Belief Pick a new more powerful belief about yourself or your capabilities, or maybe about life being filled with opportunities and abundance. Imprint this belief daily for 5 minutes.

Actually designing a Mind Power program is like being an artist. There are unlimited combinations.

A Low self-esteem in individuals is more prevalent than most people imagine. Part of this is due to our culture's fixation on fame and fortune. The millionaire, the beautiful model, the sporting hero, the rock star, are all envied, and we tend to think of ourselves as "less" than them, not measuring up.

While there is nothing wrong with desiring fame and fortune, if indeed that is what we want, we should not let it interfere with a positive self-image. A healthy self-image is our responsibility, and has nothing to do with others' attitude towards us. Rather it has to do with our own attitude towards ourselves. Determine to build and maintain a healthy positive self-image.

One way to do this is to practice accepting praise. Next time someone compliments or praises you, rather than devaluing it, simply say, "Thank you," and feel the accomplishment of it. Make it a new habit to accept praise. Acknowledge yourself regularly for your positive qualities. Don't be lazy start today to rebuild a new positive self-image. Mind power teaches you how and gives you the tools. All you need to do is use them.

A This is a question I'm asked many times. Firstly, if your goals are small daily goals and accomplishments that you wish to achieve in any given day or week, you can work on many of them to achieve the desired results.

If your goals are major "life" goals, you are probably wiser to limit the number you are working on in any given period, rather than having a wish list of twenty or thirty. When you have too many major goals your energy gets dispersed, and you may end up accomplishing none of them. Prioritize. Make decisions. Decide what is most important to you and then begin using mind power to achieve it.

Also remember to break larger goals into smaller segments, so you can achieve success at each step toward the ultimate fulfillment.

A You are absolutely right. There are many individuals who are much more successful "financially" than myself. I've only had two financial goals in my life. The first was to become a millionaire, which I achieved, and the second was to earn a million dollars in one year, which I also attained. After achieving these financial goals I turned my attention to a fun and interesting life. But your question opens up a good point. What constitutes a successful life? Here each individual must decide for himself. No individual can tell you what makes for a successful life you and only you can decide that.

Look within yourself and make decisions. What is really important to me? Health? Travel? Free time? Abundance? Family? Working in a career that is exciting? A big house? Life isn't a matter of having everything, but rather of having and experiencing what is important to YOU. Once you know this you can achieve it using mind power. Forget what others want or need. What is important to you?

A Whatever method feels comfortable for you will work. Both ways are equally effective. Some people like to do affirmations in one five-minute segment, getting super charged with the energy in one burst. Others like to do affirmations in thirty-second or one-minute segments, and do this a number of times throughout the day. Both methods work well. The key is to do either daily.

A Your affirmation "I will pass all my modules," is good. But you can also add others, such as, "I know my material well," or "I'm going to do great," or "Everything is working out perfectly," or "I'm relaxed and calm and doing great." Don't have just one affirmation have many.

Regarding applying these new techniques, it is only natural to fall back into old habits. It takes practice and persistence to get into the new rhythm of doing mind power daily. Think of it as going to the mental gym, and record it when you do your exercises. Set yourself the goal of doing some mind power exercises every day for a full 60 days. Challenge yourself. Even 5 or 10 minutes a day will do wonders.

The book Mind Power Into the 21st Century is a great book and very inspiring, but it represents only a small fraction of what can happen when you apply the techniques. Don't settle for inspiration. Become the material.

All the best.

A This is a good question, and a perplexing one for a beginner to the science of Mind Power. One begins by understanding that our life is a reflection of our thoughts and beliefs, that our inner world influences and affects every aspect of our outer life. Once this is accepted and understood, you begin to re-create your life by using mind power techniques. Here two quotations come to mind. First, "Rome was not built in a day." Second, "The journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step."

You begin to re-create your life one step at a time. Pick any of your goals to work on (not too many) and when you have achieved these, move on to others. Each success will build upon the other. You will feel momentum begin trk ssist you as you daily work with mind power principles. This is not to say that you won't have some setbacks or that everything will work out perfectly, but if you follow this system your life will change in a very positive way.

All the best.
