Monthly Mind Power Questions & Answers

A Thank you very much for your e-mail. I hear from hundreds of my students who have reported similar situations where they have received information and guidance during a crisis situation. Isn't it wonderful to know that we have this ability within us and that help is always available?

You mention that it must be a satisfying feeling knowing that I have helped so many people all over the world. I think this is probably the most rewarding part of my work. Whether it is people I meet in a live seminar, or people I meet via e-mail and our website, it is just tremendously gratifying to know that the information on our tremendous powers and capabilities is being transmitted to people around the world. Thanks very much for sharing your story.

A The first thing that you must do is make a decision as to exactly what it is that you want. Once you understand what it is that you want, then you can begin to apply the various Mind Power techniques in order to achieve it. You might want to look for improvements in your personal life. You might want to look for improvements in your business or financial situation, or in your health. There are numerous areas that you can begin to work on. One further suggestion I'm going to make is that we have a new tape, "Setting Up a Mind Power Program," that will assist you in designing a program that will work for you. All the information is there in the tape and I think it will be of great help to you. Congratulations for logging on to the site and all the success.

A Good question. Actually, you have to do both. When you have your inner creative time you should feel as if you already have it. Make it real in your mind and claim it absolutely. Then when you're finished doing your exercises, let go of it and don't focus on it all day. Sometimes we try too hard, trying to force it, as if the more we think about it the quicker it will happen. Actually you can be hindering the process by being obsessive. Just do your exercises for ten and fifteen minutes a day and it will naturally happen.

A Congratulations on leaving an abusive marriage. I'm sure it took a tremendous amount of courage, and you should acknowledge yourself for that and use this decision as a source of power for yourself. If you can make a big move like this, you can do anything. It's only natural that your two little boys do not understand the new arrangement. How could they? How can a child possibly understand what you went through and why they suddenly don't have a father around? It's tough on them. So you must have compassion and understanding for them and for yourself too.
There will be countless doubts, worries and concerns regarding your decision and new life. It will take time for all of you to adjust to the new situation. Not having all the answers for kids is not a weakness, it's a strength. It shows you can be honest and open, rather than bluffing your way through with answers you don't necessarily believe. I am sure that with Mind Powers you will create a loving and successful family environment where you all will thrive.

A Trust yourself. What do you love to do? Forget an occupation; think fun, joy, pleasure. Pursue this and you will be led to many opportunities that complement it. Use your subconscious mind. Program it to lead you into situations where you will find interesting people and work. Did you read last month's Topic of the Month, "Follow the Call?"

A You have a subconscious mind that is always available for guidance. One of its functions is to help guide you in just such decisions. Read July's Topic of the Month, "Following the Call."

A You have had early success in using mind power and this is good. I'm not surprised the little voice sowed seeds of doubt when this happened, and is now questioning your attempts to use mind power. I call this voice "The Great Trickster." It is a great trickster because it attempts to fool and limit us. Every person using mind power must become aware of this voice. You can never fully eliminate it, but by naming it and being aware of it, we can diminish its negative power immensely. When the voice tries to discourage you, treat it simply as a negative thought. Whatever the voice says, make up an affirmation that suggests the opposite something positive.

Get back onto a regular mind power program and all will be fine.

A Sometimes the pressure to end a losing streak can build up a mountain of obstacles. I would suggest changing the emphasis from winning, to looking for improvement. Take the pressure off. Maybe in one game you could focus on increasing the number of successful passes. If this is accomplished, you've found something to feel good about. Perhaps in another game try increasing the number of tackles. Again, when achieved, this is something to acknowledge. So set attainable goals beyond simply winning. Let your players see that they can improve. Let the children know that improving is just as important as winning. With this focus and attitude, and a continually improving team, you're bound to get your share of wins. Good luck.
