Why Make Things Difficult?
When you do affirmations, or meditate, or pray, are you struggling to get lots of force and energy into your "inner work"? Do you find yourself straining to make it more powerful? If so, you might get better results if you ease off and use a lighter touch.
One of the most common misperceptions is that we're "making" something happen.
We're not. What we're doing is a bit like ordering a product from a catalog.
When we imagine a certain result - whether it's a new house, a new job, or a new lover - we're told to imagine what we want as vividly as possible.
As we do our imagining, we seem to get the idea that doing it more vividly requires squinting, and straining and holding our breath.
Do you go through all that when you call up a catalog service and order out a new fishing rod or dining room curtains? Do you grunt and groan as you give the nice lady your order? Do you grind your teeth and hold your head funny?
No. You just give the lady all relevant information about the product you want, and then you hang up, knowing that what you want is now on its way. Then you relax and go about your business, waiting the few days till your product arrives.
That's a perfect model for the process of ordering by affirmation, or self-hypnosis, or prayer, or any other kind of "inner work."
Just relax, vividly describe exactly what you want, then hang up and go about your business. Soon, your "product" will arrive.
No straining, no funny faces, no clenched fists. Just fun
