my embarrassing confession
September 17, 2008
has been happening...
Molly and I just came back from a few days on
Lanai--which is a lovely island just a few miles
off the coast of Maui. We were celebrating our
first wedding anniversary at the beautiful
Four Seasons Manele Bay where we were married.
One of the things I like most about the resort
is that they allow small dogs. When I made the
reservations, I had made it for 3...
...but, of course, Maui wasn't with us in the
physical, but we certainly we felt her spirit.
The hotel even had a note card in the room welcoming
Maui back to the hotel. (They had provided a
food dish and a special dog bed last year.)
It was sad that she wasn't with us, but the gift
shop at the hotel had a little stuffed dog that
bears a striking resemblance to Maui.
(Of course, I got it and the plush toy occupies
a place of honor in our home--my meditation chair.)
Now, here is the confession...
Over the past few weeks...
I have been spending a bit of time doing personal
reflection and focusing on what I want to
attract or draw into my life. A lot of people
call this process "manifesting" and I kind of
like that concept. It is something I have been
doing my whole life (on a subconscious level) as
an extension of my meditation practice.
One of the most effective ways that I have
discovered for manifesting consciously is to visualize on a
deep level exactly what it is I want to manifest.
I used to make "dream boards" by pasting photos
and images and headlines from magazines and catalogs
on poster board. I would then put the dream board in
my office in a place that I could see it when I looked
up from my work.
The images and words reminded my subconscious mind
of what I wanted to draw into my life.
While the process has always worked, I must say that
the dream boards often raised questions and a bit of
judgmental scrutiny from people who came to visit.
I was embarrassed when clients saw pictures of beautiful
women, new cars, large tropical island homes, and even
Oprah. (That was actually what was on my dream board a
few years ago...and it worked: I met and married Molly,
I bought the new car I wanted, I purchased a gorgeous
executive home a block away from the beach in Maui, and
I met Oprah -- and I even flew on her private jet.)
So while I knew the process of manifesting with dream
boards worked, I just didn't like my personal desires
staring strangers in the face. I didn't like the scrutiny.
That is probably why I haven't made a dream board in
a while.
But I didn't stop manifesting. Here is what I did...
Instead, I have been doing conscious manifestation
exercises by renting DVDs from Netflix
that gave me the feelings and images and stories I want
to draw deeper into my life.
After all, watching the moving pictures is way more
powerful than staring at a poster board. Combine that
with the riveting musical score that many films use
to "create atmosphere" and I have found a great way
to bathe my subconscious mind with powerful imagery.
So basically, for the past few years, I have been
consciously watching videos to help me manifest.
That is why I got so excited when I learned about
http://www-mindmovie.com
They have a kit that easily lets you
build your own manifestation video which you can
watch on your computer, iPod or even your big
screen TV.
I love how easy it is to build the movies and I am
working on my own to draw the next big pieces to my
life. (Which includes a new dog!!!)
So, I encourage you to check out the introduction at:
http://www-mindmovie.com
...and while you are there, you can download your
own free mind movies -- 6 of them.
But mind movies are much more
powerful if you make them yourself using your
own pictures and music. To check out the
software kit that is on sale for half price now,
go to:
http://www-mindmovie.com/try.html
So, that is my embarrassing confession as well
as my STRONG recommendation. Please check it
out and let me know what you think by
commenting below.
By the way, the kit is on sale for 50% off now
and includes over $2,000 in bonuses. If you
are curious, check it out -- as with most
online purchases, it is backed by a satisfaction
guarantee so if it doesn't work (or you don't
like it), they will buy it back from you. See it yourself
