Manifesting – EASILY   

Several months ago, I learned a crucial element of meditation and manifestation that either no one had ever mentioned to me before, or I had blocked from my awareness, because it wasn’t information I wanted to hear.

It’s not information that makes this process easier. But it is information that can make it actually WORK, which is … kind of the point. It’s a waste to do something that’s easy but ineffective, and yet that’s what I unknowingly did, for years.

The crucial element, the secret that can take meditating for manifestation from a relaxing, enjoyable, but not terribly effective hobby, to a strong, effective step toward manifesting what you want to achieve in your life, is to meditate and visualize every single day, WITHOUT FAIL.

If you visualize for 17 days, then skip a day, then visualize for another 13 days … IT. WON’T. WORK.

Well that explains a lot!

Before I learned this, I bet I never actually performed a visualization every day without fail for 30 or more days in a row, EVER. I’ve done them for months and month on end, but always missing a day here or there. And, what do you know, they never worked all that well!

The study I heard about, that proved the necessity of “everydayness” in training your subconscious mind, involved astronauts who were required to wear glasses that made the world appear upside down. They had to wear the glasses every minute of every day (even when showering, etc.). It was very disconcerting and difficult. The study was meant to show how the astronauts would handle the stress of being constantly disoriented, in preparation for their space travel.

What happened, though, was that long about the 25th - 30th day (different days for different astronauts), their brains got the message and adjusted the image they were seeing back to being right side up. They changed their subconscious minds. They trained them.

So, after this surprising result, the researchers conducted a follow-up experiment wherein the astronauts wore the same glasses for 17 days, then took a day off, then started wearing them again. Scientists wanted to see if the astronaut’s brains would still adjust around the 30th day.

Guess what. They DIDN’T. None of the astronauts adjusted to the upside-down glasses on the 25th day. Or the 26th, or the 27th, or the 30th. In fact, it took an ADDITIONAL 25-30 days for the adjustment to happen.

This made it clear that if the brain-training efforts skipped ONE day, just a single day, it was like they didn’t do it at all. Missing one day set everything back to zero.

MISSING A SINGLE DAY SETS EVERYTHING BACK TO ZERO.

Well … I sure wish someone had mentioned that to me a little earlier. It might have saved me years of visualizing 6 out of every 7 days … to no avail!

The bad news is that sometimes life makes it hard to find the time to meditate on your manifestations every single day for 30 days. Life just happens, and sometimes it gets in the way of your need to never skip a single day.

The good news is that I found a couple tools that have automated the every-day-ness of my manifesting thoughts, and they have made all the difference in helping me create the world of my dreams. I’ll tell you all about the first of these tools in my next post. It’s really neat.
