One of most powerful abilities we have been given is our imagination.  With imagination, we have the freedom to choose the details of our life, dream any dream, uncover the secrets of our heart, and see them manifest right before our very eyes, but many people dangerously misuse this innate ability.

How do we misuse their imagination?  We WORRY!   

We worry about the economy.  We worry about money.  We worry about our health.   We worry about something someone said that offended us three weeks ago.  We worry that we might get what we want.  We worry about our  family members.  We worry about our futures.  Worry! Worry! Worry!

Our worries go on and on.  I could fill this article with lists of all the worries the ego invents to sway us from our path and to stand in the way of our manifesting prosperity.

As hard as it is to believe, our ego thinks it’s doing us a favor by prophesying what can go wrong.  It sees “problems”  or anything out of our comfort zones as danger; thus it thinks it’s protecting us from what can go wrong.  But worrying only cause us to get what we don’t want.

If you find your ego causing you to worrying, STOP it because when you worry, you are using your imagination to focus on what you don’t want to experience instead of what you do want.  Thus you are setting the stage for that feared outcome to manifest in your reality.  

When we are worrying, we are not trusting our personal connection to the Universe (God), and we have stopped being grateful for what IS.  Instead of being grateful,  we are now focusing on the negative aspects of “what if” this or that occur in the future.  Furthermore, we have become attached  the idea that this future event will not happen the way it think it should.  

The act of worrying is a massive drain on our ability to manifest prosperity in our lives ; however, it is not all bad if we use it as a feedback tool.  I know this statement may sound strange, but worrying can be good because it creates awareness.  It is a real-time indicator of how your ego is working against what you desire to experience.

For example, if you are worrying about a lack of money to pay your mortgage, or you are worrying that your spouse is cheating because he or she is late getting home, is that what you really want to experience.  No!  You want the opposite of what you are focusing on when you worry.  Instead, you want the money to pay for your mortgage or you want a faithful and loving spouse. 

So, if you find yourself worrying, you can choose to step out your worry state by recognizing what is occurring.  This is the most important step which is to become conscious aware that you are worrying.  After you choose to stop worrying, you can use your imagination and refrain your worrying into what you want to experience.  To accomplish the refrain, use the following 3 Minute Reframing Technique.  I have been using this technique for nearly five years, and it works better and better each time I use it. 

3 Minute Reframing Technique

This technique is an effective tool for replacing any form of doubt, fear, and worry that may be blocking the path to your desire.  This technique allows you to reprogramming your subconscious mind with a vision of what you desire.  This vision is made powerful by adding the enthusiastic anticipation of living your life as it would BE in that new reality.

To use this technique, complete the following 4 steps:

Step 1:  Go To Your Safe Harbor

Go to your safe harbor which is simply a mental “place” to which you can retreat to whenever you choose.  It may be an image of a childhood hideaway, a memory of an especially peaceful scene, or a “picture” of your own creation.  Whatever you choose, it is a place where you can go just by closing your eyes and visualizing it.  It is a special peaceful place where no one else can come.  This is why it is called a “safe harbor. 

 Your peaceful place could be:

• on the beach, listening to the waves rolling in,
• on a path in the woods communing with nature,
• enjoying a Summer breeze while fishing on the lake, or watching waving field of grass,
• at the oceanfront admiring a beautiful sunset.

Think of your favorite place and go there in your mind.  Be at peace for a full minute or two.  This moment of peace may take longer to establish the first time you do it, but having done it once or twice, you will find yourself at peace almost the moment you close your eyes to go to your safe harbor in the future. 

This moment of peace, intentionally, places a buffer between you and your fears, doubt, and who you are currently Being.

After you feel relaxed, go to step 2.

Step 2: Set Your Intention

Declare your intention for your desire by saying it out loud in your head.  For example, “I have $2500.00 to easily met my July 2009 mortgage payment.  I will manifest this in a way that is easy, joyous, and for my highest good.” 

Step 3: Imagine who you are Being  

Visualize your life as it would be if the reason for your fear (or weakness or doubt) no longer existed.  Who would you be BEING and how would you FEEL if your fear, weakness, and doubt were gone, and you manifested your desire in your intention?  Your intent in this step is to experience the feeling you would have if you are Being the person with your intention manifested. 

In your imagination, you are not looking for the solution or how to do it; you have already manifested it, and are FEELING the joy, the satisfaction and over all good feeling you would just naturally experience if your fear and doubt were gone and your desire was manifested.  

The important thing is to put yourself in the picture.  Do not see yourself as you look at a movie screen.  As you are visualizing, empower your vision with the joyful feelings of a happy ending.  Generate and experience the good feeling you would have if your intention manifested NOW and then experience that triumph with all the good feeling you can muster.

Remember what you think about and focus on will expand and become your reality. 

As you do, the Universe will send you ideas, the right people, and circumstances  that will assist you in manifesting your desires.  When you receive these ideas, you must take action.  If you desire $2500.00, do you really believe you will get it if you just set and intention and focus on it?  No!!!  You have to take inspired action.  When you DO, you will HAVE what you intended.

Step 4: Thank the Source (God)

Give gratitude to Source, Spirit, or whatever you call your higher power, for manifesting your intention.  Say, “Thank you, God!  And So It Is!”  Your vision is empowered; you have seen your intention manifested, and you are feeling thankful for the new reality that is already your.  It is important, in this step, that you feel a very strong sense of gratitude.  An attitude of gratitude is the most powerful of all vibrations.

Use the technique for 3 or 4 times a day or as often as necessary, when you become aware that you are worrying.  

Namaste,
