<p>The book that I co- authored in the series Wake Up Live the Life You Love: Living In Clarity hit #21 on the Top 100 Best Seller&#8217;s List at <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Living-in-Clarity/Steven-E/e/9781933063119/?itm=1">barnesandnoble.com</a> last week.</p>
<p>I was very excited when I was given the opportunity to write a chapter on Clarity. If there was one thing that I was clear about even at an early age it was the fact that I wanted to teach and do healing work.</p>
<p>Having clarity made it easy for me to know the first steps I had to take to follow my dream. I did my training as a Laboratory Technologist in the UK specializing in Microbiology. Little did I know then after working for fifteen years in the arena of traditional medicine that I would expand into the complimentary, alternative, energy and metaphysical fields.</p>
<p>Working in these modalities has given me a better grasp of the infinite possibilities from which to draw upon to help myself and others to go beyond the realm of the five senses.</p>
<p>When we want to make changes in our lives, no matter what area that may be in, it first begins by changing how we have been conditioned to think and the beliefs that do not serve us.</p>
<p>Having clarity about your purpose or about anything else is the starting point. However you will need to have focus, passion, and action to keep you moving forward. As you read through the articles in this book you will receive wonderful insights, inspiration, wisdom, understanding, and many simple little secrets to help you reach your goal.</p>
<p>I am deeply honoured to have co- authored this book along with Dr. Wayne Dyer, Anthony Robbins, the insightful Brian Tracy, the dynamic Gregory Scott Reid, Alex Mandossian, Steve E, and other personal development experts.</p>

<p>I recall putting out the intention over a year ago for someone who would invent a tool that would allow me to put my affirmations, visualization, and my choice of music into one cohesive unit and make creative visualization an easy process.</p>
<p>Well lo and behold the Genie –my subconscious mind- responded to my thoughts and unspoken request with “Your wish is my command” and brought this about for me through Mind Movies. To say that I was excited about this is an understatement. Creating it was a labour of love. I was filled with a wonderful feeling of gratitude and expansiveness every time I found the exact picture that corresponded with my affirmation.</p>
<p>On the conscious level the images, affirmations, and the vibration of sound, evoke in us powerful emotions. For me they are gratitude, joy, passion, love, and creativity. Emotions act by motivating us. Without emotions we wouldn’t do very much. When you get connected with good feeling emotions you will act in accordance with what you want. Our ancestors depended on their emotions to survive. Today we can choose to use our emotions to make better life decisions.</p>
<p>Our conscious mind prevents us from achieving all kinds of wonderful things because of our disempowering beliefs- that it&#8217;s hard to make a good living, life is a struggle, etc. But this is not the way it is supposed to be.</p>
<p>The subconscious mind doesn&#8217;t judge. It does whatever it is told to do. If we can get past the conscious mind (which stands guard over the subconscious mind and interprets everything) with new programming then it will override the conscious mind.</p>
<p>Affirmations, visualizations, music, and meditation, are some of the ways by which these messages can get through into the subconscious mind. For most of us it is often a struggle to hold these images in our mind for any length of time. However if there was a way to create a movie with exactly what you would like to envision along with music and your affirmations then it would be an easy and fun way to create what you desire.</p>
<p>The piece de resistance about  Mind Movies is that it uses a cutting edge technology that allows you  to imprint these images into your subconscious mind subliminally. When they are used on a subliminal level, the message is communicated below the conscious level of perception. They cut through  issues and false beliefs that are buried deep in the subconscious mind.</p>
<p>Mind Movies allows you to create your very own movie using your words (affirmations) images and the music that resonates with you.  You also receive the software to use it subliminally on your computer.</p>
<p>To learn more about Mind Movies, Ryan Higgins gives a good audio  explanation about mind movies or if you prefer you can read about it at:</p>

One of the fastest ways to bring your manifestations to you is through the power of creative visualization.
The first step is:

<p align="left">One of the fastest ways to bring your manifestations to you is through the power of creative visualization.</p>
<p>The first step is:</p>
<p>1. To decide what you want in your life.</p>
<p>2. Then create a vivid image of it by writing down the details. You may even use your non- dominant hand to write down them down.</p>
<p>3. Imagine this detailed image in your mind&#8217;s eye as if it is already your reality. Use all your senses to do it including how you feel about this desire that you wish to manifest.</p>
<p>When you are visualizing, the subconscious mind cannot distinguish what is real or imagined. The most important thing is to experience the positive emotion of what this desire means to you. Does it bring you the feeling of fulfillment, excitement, joy, freedom?</p>
<p>We can learn a lot from the achievements of the Olympic Athletes. They, as well as all successful athletes, know how to use the power of the mind – they use the power of visualization and affirmations extensively to achieve what they want. They have won the race in their mind before they actually compete.<br />
 <br />
 What can we learn from this?</p>
<p>The subconscious mind takes its orders from the conscious mind; the subconscious mind  obeys what ever it is programmed to do. This applies to anything not only to sports. So if we program the subconscious mind for success or abundance then success and abundance must follow.</p>
<p>People usually find it difficult to include positive emotion with their visualization. An Australian by the name of Ryan Higgins came up with a visualization concept which he calls “Mind Movies”. It’s a great way to help you in using creative visualization.</p>
<p>Check it out here:<br />
<a href="http://www.mindmovies.com/vid1-2/index.php">http://www.mindmovies.com/vid1-2/index.php</a>?</p>
<p>He is offering 6 pre-made mind movies that you can start using immediately (for *free*):</p>
<p>One pertaining to the topic of &#8220;wealth&#8221; (in a monetary sense)</p>
<p>- One pertaining to the topic of &#8220;spiritual fulfillment&#8221;</p>
<p>- One pertaining to the topic of &#8220;health and fitness&#8221; (like losing weight, improving your health in general, etc.)</p>
<p>- One pertaining to family relationships</p>
<p>- One pertaining to attracting the perfect guy/man for you</p>
<p>- One pertaining to attracting the perfect girl/woman for you.</p>
<p>So those are actually &#8220;mind movies&#8221; for every problem area you can<br />
have in your life&#8230;</p>
<p>Go download one (or all), and see if this idea works for you.</p>
<p>I would suggest that you place it on your desk top and watch it twice a day for it to be effective.</p>
<p>Any method of programming the Subconscious Mind will help you to achieve your objectives fast.</p>

<p>Setting goals is a powerful process to motivate you for what you want to achieve in your life. Goals help you to know where to focus your efforts, and writing down your goals is the first step to making it happen.</p>
<p>One of the reasons that people do not set goals is because they do not know the difference between a goal and a glimpse of what they would like to do.</p>
<p>A goal is something that you are committed to doing. It is written down, and you are willing to use your time, energy, money and all your resources to getting it done no matter what stands in your way. This means that you include a time frame for when you want to achieve it.</p>
<p>A glimpse on the other hand is something that you would like to do some day. It is not that important to you, or you aren’t that passionate about it, therefore there is no real commitment to forge ahead.</p>
<p>How intense is your desire? Are you passionate about your goals? Why do you want it?</p>
<p>We all have these glimpses about what we would like to do through out our lives; perhaps learn to play the violin, visit the Great Sphinx or the Taj Mahal, learn to sail, or to speak a foreign language. Because it is not a high priority  we let go of the idea and are not willing to use the energy to do that right now.</p>
<p>One way of recognizing the difference between your goals and your glimpses is to make a list of all the things that you would like to do. Categorise them into your life’s purpose, passions, travel, service, fun.  They can be as long as you like. Then separate them down into goals and glimpses.</p>
<p>Then ask yourself how intense is my desire? How badly do I want it? Can you visualize yourself achieving your goals? The greater the passion you have for it the easier it will be to take the necessary steps to achieving it especially when you face obstacles.</p>
<p>The trick is to intensify the passion by thinking and keeping your mind focused on your goals and the benefits that it brings to you, your family, your lifestyle or your business.</p>
<p>What are the critical steps that you need to take for this goal to become a reality?<br />
Should you encounter hurdles that impede your progress don’t give up. Instead take a look at all the factors that are keeping you stuck. Be flexible and modify the action steps that you need to take to meet your present situation.</p>
<p>Lastly review your day by keeping track of what small step you took towards moving you in the direction of your goal. This will help to motivate you to move forward.</p>
<p>Every small step adds up. If you are closer to your goal this week than the week before you are doing incredibly well. Celebrate and acknowledge your success.</p>

<p>What is clutter? Clutter is stuff that that no longer brings you joy, inspiration, or benefit. Clutter is what you are not currently using, want or need. It is stuck energy that brings about physical, mental, emotional and spiritual results.</p>
<p> At one time it wasn’t clutter, in fact you probably had great fun shopping for the things that you now have, or the gifts that were given to you. Now the stuff  is taking too much room in your life.</p>
<p>Physical clutter is also an indication that there may be a feeling of overwhelm that is taking place in your mind and emotions, and weighing you down.  Here are some steps to get your stuck energy circulating  and get you back on track</p>
<p>Go through your home and remove, throw or donate any useless, unnecessary or unwanted items. If there are any objects that cause some negative emotions because of the past, you may want to consider parting with those items.</p>
<p>We suggest that you put a large box in the center of the room to discard, and another box where you want to give away the items. Begin with one drawer or cupboard at a time and work on that before moving to on to a whole room.</p>
<p>Going through the paper clutter requires more time and thought. Put things in categories like receipts and statements, paid bills; articles and magazines, stationary and office supplies, which will help you to sort each category separately.</p>
<p>There will never be an end to clutter, because you will always have mail coming to you, you will be buying things and receiving gifts. The good news is to have a relationship with your physical environment and decide what is important and necessary for you to keep, so that when you bring something new into your life there is a place for it. One way of maintaining this with ease is to let go of something that now is not crucial in your life before bringing in something new.</p>
<p>Physical clearing does several things:<br />
1. It shows you the chaos or the clarity of your thoughts.<br />
2. It helps you to detach mentally and physically.<br />
3. It creates the space to allow new energy to come into your life.<br />
 </p>
<p>Removing physical clutter has more to do with shifting the energy within you than from your environment. Everything that is taking place in our outer reality is an indication of what is happening in your inner self. Putting your external home in order allows corresponding changes to take place in your internal realm, freeing up the space for the energy of new possibilities and miracles to enter into your life.</p>
<p>When your mind is on overload, overwhelm becomes a chronic problem. Letting go of mental clutter gives you peace of mind enabling you  to use your creative ability to design your life on purpose.</p>
<p>An  easy way to keep your mind free of mental clutter is  writing down your thoughts on paper. I get a great sense of fulfillement crossing off the jobs that I have accomplished from my to do list .</p>
<p>Emotional Clutter.<br />
We have many wounds and memories from the past that have caused us to feel disappointed, rejected, let down, angry and frustrated.  When these unhealed memories and wounds are not attended to, they fester. We may think that if we just suppress our emotions and not deal with them that they will leave us alone, but they don’t. If our wounds are not healed, they will affect our emotions, actions and behaviors. Ignoring them is like putting them into a pressure cooker. When the pressure gets to be too much, it is released often by inappropriate behavior.</p>
<p>Our feelings are the best indicator of our emotional well being. Holding on to feelings of resentment, jealousy, blame, and anger is detrimental to our physical health and wellbeing. Are you aware of what you are feeling when your buttons are being pushed? How do you deal with those emotions? Do you suppress them by putting on a sweet smile, complaining  or blowing up?</p>
<p> You need to understand that it’s OK for you to feel what you are feeling, regardless of how strong the emotions may be, but they need to be processed.</p>
<p>Do not judge your thoughts or feelings. They are neither good nor bad. They just are. Your judgment of them is what makes them good or bad. </p>
<p>Acknowledge and take ownership of the feelings that are not serving you because they are part of you. They are a signal to let you know that all is not well and that you need to deal with the root cause of what you are experiencing.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Learning how<strong> </strong>to attract what you want or create anything begins by first identifying what you truly want and having a big enough reason for why you want it. You have probably heard the saying “what you focus on grows.” Have you ever wondered why that is so?</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Having a basic understanding about Quantum Physics will give us the answer to the above question and how to attract whatever it is that you desire. Before anything becomes a reality in this physical realm it first exists in the realm of pure potentiality. </span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">We know from Einstein’s incredible discovery in 1925 which is well known today as E= MC2 </span></span><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">(Energy = matter x’s the speed of light squared) in simple term means that energy and matter are interchangeable. Energy can be formed into matter and matter can be turned into energy. </span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Einstein believed tht this energy was in the form of particles and had the appearance of being solid. He was only partly correct. The brilliant quantum physicist Neils Bohr and a Nobel Prize winner in 1922 challenged this theory. He claimed that these sub atomic particles weren’t particles but consisted of waves.</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Energy begins as a wave and as it is observed it is transmuted into a particle and joins other particles that resonate with its frequency. This is known as the Observer Effect, which states that an observer is required to interact with an object in order for events to occur.</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">These subatomic particles (waves) that were being studied by scientists responded to, transmuted and appeared as particles (solid objects) based on the individual thoughts of the scientist who was studying it.</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Your thoughts which are energy are determined by your beliefs. They are broadcast into the field as “wave energy&#8221;. They are transformed from wave energy to particles (matter) as you give attention to these thoughts. They then join together with other energies that vibrate at the same frequency and that brings about the experiences that you will encounter in your life or physical world. </span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">How to attract what you want becomes simple when you understand this principle. When you focus, observe, or put your attention consistently on what you want, that dream or desire that you have which is in the form of a wave frequency is now transformed into a particle and will eventually become your physical reality.</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">This is why when you focus on lack, scarcity, ill health the very same process will occur and bring into being what you give your attention to, because this is what you are expecting. However when you focus on abundance which is only potential right now, this wave frequency will shift and collapse into particles which will manifest what you want in your life.</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The source of all your success or failure can be traced back directly to the consistency and the quality of your thoughts. Only you can change your thoughts, that is why you must look within yourself and make a change in the way that you think if you do not like your current reality.</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">You are where you are right now as a result of the sum total of all your thoughts to this point in your life. But this can be changed by changing your thoughts. Choose the thoughts that will bring about the results that you want.</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">By keeping the object of what you want in front of you at all times will cause you to take the necessary actions to achieve your goal.  </span></span></p>

<p align="center">Power of Imagination Part 2</p>
<p>The beauty about imagination is that although what we are imagining is related to the future, the emotion of what we desire is being experienced in the now. One of the reasons that I want financial independence is , so that I can experience the freedom to do what I want, when I want it, and how I want it. I also want to experience giving on a financial level that is far greater than what I am currently experiencing.</p>
<p>The way I use my imagination is by thinking and feeling what it would be like to have all this abundance and wealth now. I think about all the ways I would use it, but most of all I would give to different children’s charities. I see children being given hope, being fed, clothed and nourished by the love and care they are given. I hear their laughter as they play and have fun. It brings a smile to my face and I feel a sweet sensation of joy as my heart is flooded with gratitude that I can make a difference in their lives. I imagine them growing up to be wonderful parents, and stalwart citizens of their countries, and my mouth declares that it is so.</p>
<p>Instead of waiting to experience the excitement, the feeling of security, or joy when it happens down the road – months or even years from now, I can experience it right now, any time, all the time. This is the true meaning of manifestation which is to experience what you want to manifest right now. Manifestation always takes place in the now, because the universe cannot distinguish between what is in the future and the present moment. The universe is always in the eternal now. That is the reason why you must bring what is in the future into the present moment by experiencing it right now.</p>
<p>An exercise to develop the imagination:</p>
<p>• Set 10 – 15 minutes daily to do this exercise or something similar.<br />
• Visualizing something that is easy –going out to dinner for instance.<br />
• Use all the five senses if possible. Imagine going to a restaurant with a good friend or partner, and being seated at a table with a wonderful view of the ocean. The waiter presents you with the wine and food menu.<br />
• Notice the décor of the room.<br />
• Hear the band playing your favourite music.<br />
• Listen to sound of the voices of the people in the room.<br />
• Smell the bouquet of wine.<br />
• Touch the wine glass and feel its texture.<br />
• Taste the wine. How does it taste? Dry, fruity?<br />
• Notice how the food is presented.<br />
• Savor each morsel of food<br />
• How does it make you feel? Does it make you feel good?<br />
• Notice your body and your breathing.</p>
<p>This is how you use your thoughts and your imagination to produce the emotions and feelings that you want to make you feel good. You have to choose to do it consciously. Imagination is making it up in your mind so that you can experience the emotion that you want right now, and see it as though it has already happened.</p>
<p>It is the emotions that you are experiencing that will determine what you are attracting into your life.</p>
<p>Using your imagination or visualization is best done when in a relaxed alpha state. When you are relaxed your brain activity slows down from a beta (rapid activity) to a gentle alpha wave state. Alpha frequency ranges from 8 -12cycles. The best time to do this is when you get up in the morning and just before sleep, because you are naturally in this state. When you close your eyes your brain automatically starts producing more Alpha waves.</p>
<p>Take heed that you do not replace imagination with words. Practice this on a daily basis and it will help you to develop your imagination and bring about what you want to achieve in your outer reality.</p>
<p>I love this quote from Daniel Gilbert which sums it all for me.</p>
<p>“To see is to experience the world as it is<br />
To remember is to experience the world as it was<br />
But to imagine –ah<br />
To imagine is to experience the world as it isn’t and has never been<br />
But as it might be.</p>
<p>The greatest achievement of the human brain is its ability to imagine<br />
objects and episodes that do not exist in the realm of the real.<br />
And it is this ability that allows us to think about the future.</p>
<p>As one philosopher noted, the human brain is an anticipation machine<br />
And making future is the most important function.”<br />
As I was musing on Daniel Gilbert’s quote “to imagine is to experience the world as it isn’t and has never been but as it might be.” the lyrics to John Lennon’s song “Imagine” came to mind. Some of you may remember the words which were written by him a few decades ago. It summarised what has been in my heart for a long time. Where previously there was a just a yearning I now can do more than yearn. By imagining or visualizing with all my senses is how I can create what I want.</p>
<p>I would like to share something that I have been using my imagination about for sometime now and I am challenging you to make this a part of your journey. I would like you to take a look at the lyrics to John Lennon’s “Imagine’ written a few decades ago. Ask yourself can I imagine this? Can I taste it, smell what it would be like and feel it?</p>
<p>Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try<br />
No hell below us, above us only sky<br />
Imagine all the people living for today…</p>
<p>Imagine there’s no countries, it isn’t hard to do<br />
Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too<br />
Imagine all the people living life in peace…</p>
<p>You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one<br />
I hope someday you’ll join us<br />
And the world will be as one</p>
<p>Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can<br />
No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man<br />
Imagine all the people, sharing all the world….</p>
<p>You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one<br />
I hope someday you’ll join us<br />
and the world will live as one.</p>
<p>Isn’t this what all of us want at our core level? Can you see all the people living life in peace and as one? This may seem like an impossibility but we can change that image by imagining what is possible. Imagine how you would like it to be. Imagination is the starting point for creating whatever you desire.</p>
<p>Powerful quotes on imagination:</p>
<p>Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imagination our possibilities become limitless.<br />
James Paolinetti</p>
<p>To bring anything into your life, imagine that it’s already there. Richard Bach.</p>
<p>Nothing happens unless we first learn to dream.<br />
Carl Sandburg</p>
<p>Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand imagination points to all we might discover and create.<br />
Albert Einstein</p>
<p>When you cease to dream you cease to live.<br />
Malcolm S. Forbes</p>
<p>I am imagination. I can see what the eyes cannot see. I can hear what the ears cannot hear. I can feel what the heart cannot feel.<br />
Peter Nivio Zarlenga</p>
<p>Imagination is a powerful force underlying all knowing.<br />
Jim Fowler</p>
<p>What is now proved was once imagined.<br />
William Blake</p>
<p>To imagine the unimaginable is the highest use of the imagination.<br />
Cynthia Ozick</p>

<p>Many people feel that they have no imagination, but this is not the case. It may be that their visual imagination is not strong enough or has not been developed correctly. Imagination is the abilty to visualize using all our five senses and there in lies the key to the power of imagination.</p>
<p>When we allow our thoughts to go all over the map, the mental images that arise in our imagination will eventually attract the circumstance that we have been imagining, into our lives. We use the power of imagination all the time but we can relate to it especially when we worry or are afraid. If we control and visualize only that which is desired, we can alter the course of our lives.</p>
<p>Picture this- you just received a phone call telling you that a member of your family may have been in an accident. What immediately comes to mind? You hear the ambulance arriving at the scene of the accident; you picture the paramedics putting her on the strecher. You may sense tightness in your throat, or feel your heart beating faster. You may feel an energy drain, and tears smarting at your eyes.</p>
<p>What has just taken place? The power of your imagination created that scenario in your mind, and your emotions were the result of those powerful images. They were powerful because most of your senses were involved. However we often use our imagination to visualize depressing and unhappy situations, or we look at our circumstances through the eyes of lack, focusing only on what we don&#8217;t want or have.</p>
<p>What we need to do is to use the very same tools to imagine and create those powerful emotions to create what we want. The brain doesn&#8217;t know the difference between what is real or fantasy. So what ever you focus on is what you will create and receive.</p>
<p>Here are some amazing stories of people who used the power of imagination to achieve what they wanted to accomplish in their lives. Air Force Colonel George Hall was a POW in a North Vietnames prison camp for seven years. Every day George Hall played a full game of golf using his imagination. The very next week after his release from the POW camp he entered the Greater New Orleans Open and shot a 76!! How did he do that when he had not played golf for seven years except in his imagination?</p>
<p>The Russians implemented this knowledge that the power of imagination is more powerful that just physical practice, to train their athletes for the 1980 Olympics.</p>
<p>The athletes were split into four groups A -D</p>
<p>Group A used physical practice 100% of the time</p>
<p>Group B used physical practice 75% of the time and visualization 25% of the time</p>
<p>Group C used physical practice 50% of the time and visualization 50% of the time</p>
<p>Group D used physical practice 25% of the time and visualization 75% of the time</p>
<p>The scores were tallied after the Moscow Olympics and the Lake Placid Olympics and they found that Group D had won the most medals.</p>
<p>The key to using your imagination to change your reality is to act as if the scene that you are imagining is real, that it is happening right now, and has already been accomplished. That is how you bring what you desire (which is in the future) into the present moment.</p>
<p>There are no limits in your dreams and in your imagination. You used this muscle of imagination without any problems when you were children. You could imagine that you could fly like superman, be a princess in a far away land, and day dream about all the magical feats that you were able to perform. In this realm of thought you were invincible and powerful and no one could harm you. There were no limits to what you could or could not do through the power of your mind and imagination.</p>
<p>Somewhere along the way we lost this ability to dream, and failed to remember that this physical body is the part of us that has limitations, and not the &#8220;I&#8221; that inhabits the body. We communicate with the universe through the language of imagination. Just like exercising keep the muscles in our body in good shape, so too our imagination can be developed through the consistent use of our imagination if it is to grow and assist us.</p>

<p>When we were born we came in with a clean slate but as time went by we became conscious of how people expected us to act and behave. Our family, friends, teachers, peers, culture and society had a great influence on shaping our beliefs. When we took on other people&#8217;s beliefs and fears by blindly embracing their views we got depleted and drained of life&#8217;s energy.</p>
<p>Your beliefs affect every part of your life. They affect your health, relationships, wealth and everything that you do. Have you considered that your beliefs might just be the thoughts that you accept to be true? If you don&#8217;t figure what your beliefs are and you take them for granted thinking that everything will work out for your good, it will eventually catch up with you until you&#8217;ve sorted it out.</p>
<p>We need to identify our belief system if we are to continue with our journey in this life. We all have a belief system but we may not know how it affects our lives.</p>
<p>A belief system supplies us with a core set of values or rules on which we base everything we believe, say or do. Our conscious mind then takes these rules and realigns them which makes it easier to process and then stores it in our subconscious mind.</p>
<p>A belief is more than what you think is true. It is a succession of filters through which we interperate what we see, which will be supported through our actions. We perceive the world through our five senses, our emotions and what we place our attention on. When we agree to the limiting impressions of any ideas or opinions that we have received from our parents, family, peers or our culture, then these ideas become beliefs and we eventually take action according to those beliefs.</p>
<p>You have probably heard the saying that we create our own reality, but most often we are doing so unconsciously. How can we  consciously create our reality? And how do our belief systems play a part in that creation? Where do these beliefs come from? Can we change them and if so how do we do that?</p>
<p>Our feelings create memories which are stored in our subconscious mind. These memories are passed down to us from generation to generation. We then play a role based on these memories. We play the role of the damsel in need of rescue, or the scrooge, enchantress,or beggar. These roles that we play are made apparent through archetypal patterns.</p>
<p>What are archetypes? Archetypes are patterns that are universally recognised. We see archetypes in fairy tales, movies, myths, and literature. When you watch a movie what part do you see yourself playing - the role of the hero, the princess that needs to be rescued, the underdog, victim or the warrior?</p>
<p>We talk to each other through symbols and it&#8217;s also the way that we describe ourselves to each other.  Do you find yourself exasperated at someone who is always whinnying? We describe them as a victim. Do you want to kick yourself or others when you or they mess up? Do you feel like a bully? Do you always use laughter or jokes and act the &#8220;clown&#8221; so that you don&#8217;t have to take a look at yourself? Or use service and suffering for means of control and manipulations and take on the role of a martyr?</p>
<p>Although we use this language everyday to describe ourselves and others we are unaware that this symbology can be used to get a deeper understanding of who we are. These archetypal patterns and stories have been handed down to us in the memory of our DNA from our ancestors when we were born.</p>
<p>Many archetypes dance with each other, like knights and damsels, teacher and student, advocate and victim. Whether we know it or not we play these roles repeatedly.When we become aware of the role that the archetypes play in our lives we are able to see what excites us and what kind of relationships we are drawn to. This awareness increases our level of consciousness and helps us to make better choices.</p>
<p>Each archetype has a light and shadow side to it. The shadow side holds us back from what we want. It manifests itself in us as being stuck, depressed, and fearful. The light side of the archetype connects us with the perfect blueprint of our soul, our higher essence and purpose.</p>
<p>Archetypes assist us in identifying what is in our subconscious. They demonstrate both the light and the shadow that is connected to every archetype. The light areas of the archetype are readily recognised and accepted, while we project onto others the shadow side. They help us to recognise the unconscious aspects of ourselves and help to awaken those parts of us that have been asleep and lying dormant.</p>
<p>It is through the understanding of these archetypal patterns that we are able to bypass the illusions of the matrix and get a clear picture of what is going on in our subconscious mind. Becoming aware of which archetype is playing out in your life will allow you to release the major programs that have been with you since birth.</p>
<p>It will cause you to stop, take a step back and take stock of what is happening. That will help to keep the focus on yourself and not on the other person or circumstance. There is no choice without awareness.</p>
<p>In the EIP (Eliminating Interference Patterns) that I teach we use the information gathered from the archetypes to help you discover and release the blocks that a particular pattern that has been set up in your belief system. For instance if you are looking for the ideal job and you have not been able to find it, the archetype of the miser might show up in the process which would reveal a DNA belief patterning  of &#8220;not enough.&#8221; In other words the vibration that is being sent out to the universe is &#8220;not enough&#8221; because that is what you are resonating. When this vibration is released from your DNA you will attract &#8220;more than enough&#8221; into your life.</p>
<p>You can participate in the &#8220;Powerful Group Healing and Deeksha Blessing&#8221; teleseminar dealing on finances, relationships and emotions respectively using the EIP process on:</p>
