Leadership Swami

By Gwen Phillips

 Faith: Is it a believing, or a knowing? Is it strictly of the mind, is it an emotion? An emotion is a feeling, as it is felt in the body. Thats why I consider it an emotion. I know when I have it because I feel it, and I know when I dont because I feel fear. As an emotion, faith is among the strongest. And it is a state of mind that can both come from the subconscious mind and affect the subconscious mind. This is important when it comes to putting our intentions into action. For instance, if I set myself a task but Im lacking the faith in myself to carry out the task, subconsciously Im saying defeat as inevitable. The more often I do this, the worse I feel about myself, the more negative my thoughts become and it inevitably creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. However, if Im able to convince myself subconsciously that I am capable and have the ability to carry out the task Im more likely to begin and follow through. My faith is strengthened and I feel better about myself which in turn makes it easier to do the next thing.

It can be difficult for people to strengthen faith if they are lacking it. But it can be done. Its done by a process of encouraging positive thoughts and emotions in the subconscious and beginning to ignore the negative ones. We can do this of course with affirmations and other re-enforcing methods. A feeling and faith in a higher power can and does strengthen our ability to believe that we are not alone in accomplishing what has previously been seemingly impossible.

Thoughts, backed by strong emotions such as faith and love, have more of a chance of being expressed through action then do plans and desires that do not have any emotion attached. Your actions can be affected by any strong emotion whether it is positive and productive or negative and destructive. Many of us have lived through where our actions have taken us when motivated by fear and anger. To achieve a balanced life and to succeed in life we need to avoid negative emotions and encourage positive ones. We then acquire a subconscious mind that starts to act upon all the positive emotions including faith.

The following few principles outline some common methods to help with faith.

* You need to realize that you do have the ability to meet life. We are made that way.

* You must spend some time in the day just thinking positively about yourself. As they say, God doesnt make junk. We are loved by God for a reason. Remind yourself of that as often as possible. A mind dominated by positive thoughts will feel peace and contribute to your healing and that of others. These kinds of thoughts take us into the realm of spirit, which is of course all positive, and enable you to manifest good here in the physical realm.

* You should ally yourself with like minded others. Sometimes we need others to remind us of our purpose and to encourage us when we forget who we are

Repeat these principles and you will find that you are able to increasingly influence your subconscious mind and hear the voice of truth.

The Spiral of Manifestation

By Ken Solman

 The “Spiral of Manifestation” is a powerful, energy-based technique that assists you in getting “unstuck”. It is a wonderful tool that you can access at any time and in any circumstance.

The Law of Attraction dictates that when energy goes out, it comes back in the same form. This is not a new theory, just one that has not been fully understood or mastered. Our thoughts and energetic patterns create our reality. Yet, are we fully aware of what we are thinking and what type of energy we are putting out? On a surface level you may “think” you are doing one thing- but on another, more powerful level- something else is actually going on. This is what creates distortions in our energy fields and causes our own power of manifestation to be stagnant. To illustrate this theory, lets look at a couple of examples.

You want to attract a romantic partner into your life. This is a very deep desire and something that you want with all of your heart. So, you set out to accomplish this goal using spiritual principles. You use affirmations, write out a list of what you desire in a partner, light some candles and pray. On the “surface” level this seems as if it is a very positive exercise. But, for a moment- let’s look at what could be happening behind the scene- on a deeper level in your energy field. What are your “true” thoughts? Why hasn’t the relationship manifested? What is the hold up?

The reality is at the current moment you do not have a relationship in your life. You are lonely. When you roll over at night- there is nobody there to hold you. You go out and see all these happy couples walking around and it causes you to feel sad and envious.

You create a “battle” or distortion of energy. You keep saying and trying to think one thing- yet, another reality is showing up in your life. If you find this happening- just understand that you have some thought forms and energetic patterns that are stuck. This is creating “neutrality”.

The first thing to do in this case is to be realistic. There are over 6 billion people currently living on the planet! There is someone there for you. Stop feeling sorry for yourself that only adds to the distortion. Be happy for other people that they have found an appropriate mate for themselves. You just have not met the right person yet. Period.

Use the “spiral of manifestation” to dissolve all the blocks in your energy field. When you start to feel the sad feelings come over you- visualize a beautiful spiral of energy. It can be any color or size you desire. I see it as a tornado shaped energy field. I like to see it in a luminous silver or white color because that represents purity. Just allow it to dissolve the sadness. Do not attempt to direct the energy in any way. Just allow the experience. Let the spiral cleanse and purify whatever feelings come up. Let your thoughts flow. The Creative Power of the Universe does not need your assistance. Trust in your own higher self and the unlimited power of creation to take you through this process. Let go. The Creator knows what you want and what you need. You must trust that. Get out of your own way.

Another example of this theory is that of Prosperity. You, like everyone else, wants great things. You want to be able to pay your bills and have lots of extra money left over to buy what you want. You want to provide for your family now and in the future. So, this is the goal- to increase our prosperity.

You begin doing affirmations, thinking positive and visualizing what you desire to happen. After about a week of affirmations and positive thinking- guess what? You are still broke! You just got paid and it is gone! But, you keep on saying your affirmations. The battle begins. What we are doing is not working. Why? It is not working because there is an energetic conflict. We get angry, “I keep saying all these affirmations and thinking positive thoughts and I still do not have any money”. Are you really thinking positive thoughts? What is going on in your mind? Do you believe what you are saying? The anger takes us out of the natural flow.

First, be realistic! There is unlimited abundance everywhere! There is no lack! The lack resides in your mental programming. Change how you see things. When you find yourself overcome with fear about not being able to pay your bills and the money you need is just not there- call the “spiral of manifestation”. See it enter your energy field- cleansing away all distortion and un-truths. Soon you will find many wonderful ideas on how you can manifest prosperity. Creativity will flow and new and exciting opportunities will present themselves to you.

Open yourself up to the Unlimited Creative Power of the Universe. Remember, there is no lack or limitation of any kind. That applies for personal relationships, money, health etc. Being in a stuck space uses a great deal of energy- it blocks your ability to create and causes fatigue. Once your energy field is free of blocks and distortions- you will feel more energized and creative. Use the “spiral of manifestation” to clear your mind and energy so you can receive the unlimited blessings that are available to you.

spiritual leader quotes

 Everyone goes through difficult times in their lives. Whether it is after the death of a loved one, a bad break up, or simply because youre going through a rough patch you didnt anticipate. There are people in the world that recommend many different ways to solve your problems, some more healthy than others. Things like therapy can be a good solution to get you through a tough situation, but can often be expensive. There is an alternative that many people trust to help them that is fairly quick and inexpensive- Christian books.

Many Christians read regularly, and not just the Bible as you may believe. There are hundreds of Christian books out there that do many things. Some are meant to help you strengthen your religious beliefs and better understand your faith, and some are meant specifically to help encourage you when things get tough. It would be nice if we could always turn to friends or family members to help us through our problems- but sometimes you have to turn inward and to God to help you get through things. Christian books can help you calm down, refocus, and realize what is important in your life.

Just like any self help books, some Christian books will be more helpful than others, and their helpfulness may depend on what you are going through. The important part is to choose a book that represents what you believe, and that puts you in a positive mindset. For example, by choosing a book that has a positive, motivational message, you may be able to change the entire focus of your life, and a book like that could encourage anyone going through a rough spot in their lives to come out of it a better person.

Many Christian books will encourage people to look at the positive in every situation. Although that may initially seem difficult, once you become focused on truly living your entire life in that mindset, things will start looking a little brighter to you. The point is that everything in life shouldnt be about competition and how to make lots of money and beat out other people in your quests to be great. Instead, we should focus on living in a positive way, focusing on optimistic thoughts, and treating others how we would want to be treated. If you operate under these principles, you will begin to receive all the things you feel you truly want in life- because you now are living in a way that causes you to deserve them.

Quality Christian books will not beat you up for the way youve lived prior to reading it though, but they should instead make suggestions that even the most negative and depressed person can implement to take small steps in making their lives better. Living a better life and receiving what you deserve is easier than you think, and if you take some of the simple recommendations found in these books, you will start to see your life improve.

Christian books have been known to awaken spirituality in people who feel as though theyve become lost along the way. Books like Its a Silver Lining can help reconnect a lost soul with what they believe and get them back on track to leading a happy life.

It’s A Silver Lining is one of the most gentle, disarming, life coaching, and inviting religious CHRISTIAN BOOKS of the past decade. It has been created to show you that you’re not alone and that if you will commit some effort and some time, your life will be abundant and rich, regardless of your material possessions or abilities. It’s A Silver Lining is a religious book that has been written to enable you to see the perfection in all of your life experiences
