The Art of Manifesting: change your thoughts, change your life.

The recent hit movie "The Secret" has reiterated what pioneers such as Louise L. Hay, Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra have been teaching us for years: our thoughts create the world around us. When we think negative thoughts about ourselves, about other people or our career, these thoughts are being reflected in our environment: they make our life difficult, attract negative people, places and circumstances and prevent us from having a job that fulfills us. But if we think positive things, if we have positive expectations, our life flows with ease, the people we attract are so much friendlier and we can attract work that we enjoy.

There is an abundance of wonderful books with meditations and positive affirmations that teach us how to reprogram our thoughts and thus change our environment. Affirmations, spoken daily after we wake up and before we go to bed, change our thought patterns and thereby the world around us.

But where do those negative thoughts and experiences come from in the first place? We ask ourselves: Why do my relationships always follow the same pattern? Why do I have problems manifesting my dream job? Why am I struggling financially in this so called recession while others are still making good amounts of money?

ThetaHealing™ is the method I work with. It was channeled by Vianna Stibal in the 1990s and helps us transform negative thoughts into positive ones by connecting to the energy of the Creator of All That Is. Through this connection we can co-create our lives.

So many people want to change something in their life, but they don’t know how. Often they don’t know what it is that keeps them stuck.

I have worked with people who believed that they were ready for a wonderful partner but yet they can’t seem to find Mr. Right. Through targeted questions and kinesiology (muscle testing) we find out the root cause. It is often lack of self-esteem, fears, traumas and bad experiences that might stem from childhood. With the ThetaHealing™ technique we can resolve those, give people back their self-confidence and teach them how to have a wonderful relationship and that they are worthy and deserving of it.

Here’s an interesting example about how childhood experiences can influence our life: a small boy constantly causes trouble in Kindergarten. One day his Kindergarten teacher, being tired of his behavior, tells him: "With this behavior you will never amount to anything?" The small boy then programs that he will not amount to anything. Thirty years go by. The boy is now an adult. But no matter how hard he works, how intelligent he is, how much he tries, he never amounts to anything and he doesn’t know why. During the ThetaHealing™ session, we find out that his teacher told him that he will never amount to anything. The teacher probably didn’t mean to cause any harm and the small boy didn’t take it seriously at that time, at least not on the conscious level. But the subconscious mind has accepted the statement of the teacher as truth and his entire life this statement keeps proving to the boy that what the teacher told him was true: he doesn’t amount to anything. With the ThetaHealing™ technique we then change this belief and teach the now adult man in that he is worth to be successful. With the new positive belief system his life can now change for the better.

We often feel as victims of circumstances. I don't know how many people tell me. "I work so hard for my company but my boss never appreciates it." "People constantly criticize me." Somehow I always fall into the same relationship patterns." One of the most often common statements is: "You can’t do so anything anyway." "We just have to live with it."

Of course, if that’s what we believe, then there’s really nothing we can do about it. But what if I say that we humans were born with free will and that we always have possibilities? That we are not victims but creators? And once we understand this, we have the strength to become masters of our life.

A friend recently complained to me. "My boyfriend doesn’t support me at all."

"Why do you obligate him to do this?" I asked her. Oh, she became really upset with me. "I don’t obligate him at all! I want him to support me!" "Perhaps you want that consciously" I told to her. "But something in your subconscious mind believes otherwise, and that is what is manifesting in your life. See, the subconscious is estimated to be 88% of the mind; the conscious mind only 12%. You can see how much stronger the subconscious is, and if there is a belief that you are unworthy of being supported or perhaps that you can’t trust anyone and are better off doing everything alone, then this belief shows up in your relationships."

By connecting to the energy of the Creator of All That Is and asking specific questions we came to the root of various negative beliefs my friend had about relationships and replaced them with positive belief systems.

A couple of weeks later she called me: “Everything is wonderful; my boyfriend finally supports me the way I have always wanted him to."

In ThetaHealing™ we look at the different aspects from where those beliefs can come from. We learn from the day we were conceived. We picked our parents and the time and place we were born in order to learn. We learn from our parents, ancestors, peer group, friends, teachers and society. We learn from the group consciousness of the society and people around us. We learn from the history of the country we were born in. Traumatic experiences, grief, pain, loss, if not resolved, leave their marks. Words have great power and can affect us for a long time unless we change what we were taught.

We are one of the first generations in our society that has begun to resolve old outdated belief patterns. We have finally started to give ourselves permission to create our lives the way we would like them to be. We live in a time and culture in which this is possible without being ridiculed or even being punished for it.

A huge shift is happening right now. And the more people choose a life full of love, joy and harmony, the easier it will be for others who are still stuck in a suffering and victim mentality. With the new thinking we raise the energy vibration of the world and thereby the world around us.

Get started. Release the old negative belief system and replace it with a new and positive one based on unconditional love, self-worth, and joy. Start to live the life you want to live. In the highest and best way for the highest and best good, of course.
