Andrew Carnegie’s MasterMind Opening

I
RELEASE… I release myself to the mastermind because I am

strong when I
have others to help me.

I BELIEVE… I believe the combined intelligence of the

mastermind
creates a wisdom far beyond my own.

I UNDERSTAND… I understand that I will more easily create

positive results
in my life when I am open to looking at my self,

my problems and
opportunities from another’s point of view.

I DECIDE… I decide to release my desire totally in trust to the

mastermind and I
am open to accepting new possibilities.

I FORGIVE… I forgive my self for mistakes I have made. I also

forgive others
who have hurt me in the past so I can move into

the future with
a clean slate.

I ASK… I ask the mastermind to hear what I really want; my

goals, my dreams
and my desires, and I hear my mastermind

partners
supporting me in MY fulfillment.

I ACCEPT… I know, relax, and accept, believing that the

working power of
the mastermind will respond to my every

need. I am
grateful knowing this is so.

Talk about an omen….

I was sitting in a Starbucks one night, and as I looked out the window, this is what I saw.

Morning rituals

I continually hone what constitutes my morning.  This next few weeks I will incorporate meditation, no excuses.

Meditation is hard for me to incorporate, because it feels like I’m not doing anything.  That is, however, the point; it allows me to process.  To digest.  I have developed digestion problems of late, because I am inundating myself with all these powerful things, but I am not turning them into usable energy.  I need to digest, and meditation is a key way to do that.

Now I use a meditation chair.  I have a 10 minute meditation track on my phone, a pair of headphones and a sturdy chair.  In the morning I will shower, make a cup of tea, and sit and listen to these sounds as I keep my mind clear.  10 minutes, I can commit to.  There are also 20 and 30 minute trakcs on this cd, called Akshara Weave.  It is a magnificent chakra meditation cd; and it gives me the illusion of doing something productive while I meditate–focusing on each of my chakras in turn.

After this meditation, I will exercise, and then prepare for my day.  This new routine should keep me focused and driven.  I’m looking forward to it.

Affirmations with Garage Band

Making your own affirmation soundtrack is surprisingly easy with Garage Band (if you have a mac) or Audacity (for PC users).  If you have decent speakers and a microphone built into your computer, follow these three steps to make a music-backed affirmations track in the next five minutes.

Step 1-Play some music

I like the chillout and dance stations on iTunes radio, but you can use any music playing on your computer.  (Just remember, due to copyright restrictions, don’t use other people’s music as an ingredient and sell the product as your own.)

Step 2-Get some affirmation lists

By googling “affirmations for success,” I found these three pages.  I opened them in different windows and resized them so they were all open for me to read.

Step 3-Record.

Play the music, read the affirmations out loud, for the length of one song.  Then you can export this track as an mp3, or play it on repeat.

Playing this track at low volume while at your computer will pour these affirmations into your subconscious.  You can listen to an example of what I made in under ten minutes by clicking here.

What do you want to manifest?  Go make it happen!

Happy Morning Tricks

I love starting out the day on the right foot.

It doesn’t come naturally to me.  For a long time, I woke up grumpy and grouchy, and this naturally contributed to what I manifested in the day ahead.

Over the last year I’ve developed a few tricks to start my day in a great mood, and let me tell ya, the change in my life has been magnificent.

“What you think about, you bring about,” said Lisa Nichols in the Secret.  And your waking thoughts are especially potent, because you are still on the border between conscious and unconscious thinking.  Your unconscious mind needs to be tended carefully, because what you plant there grows, and grows rapidly.

I wanted to grow really positive thoughts so I could manifest really positive things.  So I started simple.

Happy Morning Trick #1:

Wake up with thoughts of gratitude.

Gratefulness is one of the most powerful emotions we can use for manifesting.  When Mike Dooley described this technique in the Secret, it really resonated with me.  Especially when he repeated his tagline, “Thoughts Become Things.”

Huntress Christmas 2009

My wife is gorgeous.

The fool. Year zero.

Every year on my birthday, I draw a trump card to represent the year.  This year I drew the Fool.

I love the fool.  I am ready for an adventure.

Polyphasic considerations

Its a new year, and although I am giving myself a weeks leeway until I make resolutions (the advantage of having a birthday on January 7, coupled with an intense december, means I need a week off for vacation) I am considering implementing a huge new lifestyle change: polyphasic sleep.

Buckminster Fuller successfully employed this sleep schedule for years.  He slept four times per day, for thirty minutes at a time, every six hours.

With a flexibly scheduled job, a nice car with heated seats, and a disciplined mind, I could put this lifestyle to great effect.  The opportunities it gives, a full six hours more of life every day, is extraordinary.  I would be able to devote three of those extra hours to personal projects that I currently have trouble finding time for, and the other three hours to transitions, an I would have quite an extraordinary life.
