Jack Canfield's test can work for you

In Rhonda Byrne's book, The Secret, Jack Canfield describes how when struggling to earn $8,000 per year, he decided to set the goal of earning $100,000. At the time, this goal seemed like a pipedream. Yet, Jack chose to humour himself and focus on making it happen. He wasn't sure how. Instinctively, he wrote himself a check for $100,000 and stuck it on his bedroom ceiling. This became the first thing he would see when he awoke and the last thing he would see when he went to sleep at night.

Every day, he thought about realizing his dream. He was initially unaware of real reasons behind it. He went about the life as before. Then, one morning, while in the shower, he recalled he had written a book nad put it away. He thought if he sold 400,000 copies, he would realize his goal of $100,000. Suddenly, renewed faith in his book made perfect sense. He desired to publish the book to improve lives of others perhaps more than his original goal of earning money. Both results were still desirable. Why hadn't he acknowledged the dream before? Timing wasn't right.

Not long after that revelation, he was in the grocery store and noticed The Enquirer. It had always been in the check-out rack, but he hadn't really been aware. Not long after that, after one of his public lectures, he was approached by a woman to be interviewed for a magazine article. Turned out, the woman sold most of her writing to The Enquirer. Jack wondered if that encounter and what ensued, wasn't directly out of The Twilight Zone. The Universe was intervening in its own particular way.

Now, Jack didn't earn $100,000 that year as a writer. He earned just over $92,000. Jack realized that nurturing a dream, and thinking about it regularly is how you can work with the Universe to make it happen. You learn to align your energy. Te Universe will send you the right people and circumstances to make things happen. Jack and his wife thought that if positive thinking and discerning the power of energy alignment with the Universe worked to make $100,000, it should work for a million. They learned that it did and never looked back.

So, if you have ideas for a book, or have complete manuscripts in the wings, just waiting for the right publisher, the right editor or the appropriate launching platform to get it into the wider market, then you would benefit from applying concepts in The Secret. You probably already have these ideas in your soul. Yet, you might just get wrapped up with the "what if it doesn't work?" syndrome. Or assume that you have to figure out all the details. Rest assured, the Universe will help. Your job is to believe in your writing abilities and have faith that your actions will lead to great things. Recognize your problems have been solved.

Tap into what you've already got

You may perceive healing as a kind of magic. Yet, how to initiate or facilitate it? Just tap into abilities you've already got. As you sense certain kinds of healing are like a mystical service you could offer by tuning into the flow of the mind, then the positive you envision and bring about has the potential to be widespread.

Some people you meet naturally emit good vibes. Being around them noticeably makes you feel better. You instinctively smile, laugh or, feel warm inside. This results from simple transference of invisible, positive energy your way. You don't even have to see the person to know they're nearby because of uplifting effects. They inspire positive thoughts and feelings. You can evoke those in others too.

If you would like to assist someone by helping generate positive thoughts or healing, then you'll benefit from nurturing a receptive state of mind. You need to believe you can help. Underneath that, you need to hold the unwavering belief that you also help yourself. To learn to tune into yourself and your own energy and emotions is like a stepping stone to better understanding these subtle energies in other people. What kinds of reasons do you have for getting in better touch with yourself?

What about achieving greater overall focus in a particular area of your life? Healing can be grasped and understood as achieving balance. This touches on all areas of health and well-being. You will find that as you raise your awareness of reasons behind your thoughts and feelings, you will be better prepared to anticipate and seize life opportunities. How does that relate to psychic experiences and healing?

The ability to become more aware of feelings and emotions can lead to greater understanding of others as well as of yourself.  Just think, if you were to become more honest and better read your vibes, it would become more straightforward to discern and pursue your own dreams.  Realize your destiny sooner rather than later.

4 Steps to initiate your comeback

You may measure success according to your perceived level of happiness. Which steps are you taking already to clarify exactly what this means to you? What kinds of abundance are you creating with your thoughts, you feelings, and your actions? From this moment, your life is beginning to transform in more appealing directions. How are you using your senses and mind to bring new views of your success into being?

As you choose to believe in your potential to redefine success, you can decide now is the time for you to focus on healthier habits and relationships. Your thoughts create conditions which will unfold in your life. To initiate your comeback to a better life, clear your mind or anything undesirable. Concentrate instead on these 4 steps. Decide you will hear what you need to hear, you will heighten your sensitivity to what matters and experience the good things you initially only dream:

1) Prepare a vision board. Cut out images and words that reflect the experiences you desire. If you want to travel, include images and maps of places you desire to visit. If you wish to own a house or a car, or other things, cut out images that reflect your hopes in these areas.  If you desire particular types of opportunities or people to enter your life, then include symbols to reinforce it. Look at this vision board often. Say aloud what you plan. Invite and attract it all right to you.

2) Sense favor is on its way.  Whatever your health is right now, envision that something better is in store.  Whatever the state of your business, the state of your bank account, your backyard or emotions, don't just look at what you can see. Whatever the state of your current relationships, whatever negative things people tell you to expect, whatever your previous experience in other areas of life, believe in what you desire to create and intend it to happen.

3) Utter words to create power. Saying what you want to happen reinforces dreams that begin as images in your mind. Feelings of discomfort or insecurity may poke you from inside. Yet, you can say aloud how life is better, is getting better is redefining success. Nothing is out of reach if you believe and say that you know your circumstances are going to change. There are no such thing as accidents. You sense when good things will happen. Facilitate it with words. Repeat it loud and clear.

4) Allow hope to take root in your soul. Go beyond belieiving in what your senses tell you in the present. Remind yourself your present conditions are based on your thoughts from the past.  Connect with Forces beyond you, the supernatural levels, and allow them to nurture hope in senses beyond what you typically think about. To sense faith is to allow seeds to plant themselves in your soul and influence amazing things to happen. The appropriate breaks and opportunities are already knocking on your door. The question is, are you ready to truly listen?

Unjumble your jigsaw

Analysis of the week on dream submitted by J.R. of Geelong, Australia.

Dream: I was flying through outer space. I sensed I arrived in a whole new galaxy. It was a brand new world. As I began to turn right, I was filled with horrible sensations. Then, as I steered left, a voice inside me told me NOT to go "there." The voice instructed me to fit into a visible wall like a piece of an unfinished jigsaw puzzle. I hesitated. I could see other puzzle pieces fit in their appropriate places. I noticed the color of myself as a puzzle piece was rather plain, no frills and my color was light pastels. Yet, I could intuit discomfort in other colorful pieces. I read their intense, negative energy. It was almost like fire near me.  I recognized neutral feelings in myself. From where I stood, nothing felt out-of step or out-of alignment.

Predominant feelings : restlessness, indifference, curiosity, revelation

Overall tone : contemplative.

Interpretation : Flying implies you dream of a new sense of freedom or escape. You may seek to convince yourself something or someone entered your life, “as if out of nowhere.” Is it a godsend, a windfall or an unexpected headache? You decide. What feels right in your gut differs greatly from what others would deem the next best course. You won't always agree with everyone, but being at odds with your ego means you may cogitate and act on a limited view of the big picture.  Learn to grasp your hidden emotions and unconscious motives for taking action.  You project, feel alienated by, and deny your true emotions.  This leaves you feeling "spaced-out."

It seems you’re in a problem-solving mood or struggle to turn off your thinking cap. You may be anxious about a mental challenge in waking life that demands or hogs your attention. Since pieces are missing from the puzzle, this suggests you’re not confident you have all relevant facts to make an acceptable or final decision. Feel like you have hit a wall? You actually construct it yourself. You may need to move beyond some vendetta. You may be getting burned if negative energy is rubbing off on you. Rest assured, this dream may trigger a solution on how to rethink approaching a sensitive issue in waking life. The self- doubt or trouble you’ve been having can be transcended. Just learn to walk though your walls. Colors represent energy. emotion and vibes. Consider what single colors in your dream mean to you and your associations and relationship with specific colors.  Unjumble your jigsaw.
