The Power of Thought

Author: admin

Free your mind and travel through the infinite possibilities of thought. You will see how multifaceted you can use the powerful tool that is lying in your hands. Every individual person is naturally able to change his own reality. Discover the power of thought and combine it with the strength of your will and all your wishes and deisres will be already on the way to be part of your life. You are able to increase your standards and live a fulfilled life.

The main reason, which holds people back from their goals is lack of concentration. Once you fell a decision the first thing you need to do is to protect yourself against inner and outer disturbances. Every hint of thought, which disapproves your wish will baffle the process. This derangement represents parasite frequencies in your brain waves, which manipulate your thoughts. Negative thoughts are the main cause to disturb the concentration, so that you cannot focus on your wish with enough decisiveness.

The brain reflects the incessant process of thinking through brain activity. You need to give your brain orders in an appropriate language so that it is able to execute your commands. The only language, which your brain understands is Thought. You can reach your inner sub conscious self through thoughts.

The inner mind-map is set by our sub consciousness as the sum of all the information we experience through our lifetime.We know that the inner mind-map of our self in its sub conscious state constitutes our attitudes and character traits. And again we know that our identity which is mirrored to our outside environment is constituted by these attitudes and character traits. This means that if you want to change your life or if you want to change the way how other people perceive your identity, you first need to change your attitudes and character traits.

All human beings do possess the ability to change his inner mind-map, because they do possess the power of thought. We want to get to the bottom of this, by telling you how you can use your thoughts in order to profoundly chance your life and live it the way you want. This treasure is naturally lying inside you: your thoughts. Here you will get some examples about how to take advantage of this natural property. Thought has the absolute authority over the brain and over the sub consciousness. The brain again has the absolute authority over reality and over the reflection of your identity in the outside reality.

So, if your thoughts can control the brain and the brain, which again controls and constitutes your reality, we can say that you can easily control and constitute your own reality. If we go a step further we can also say that you alone are responsible of your own reality. If you are sad, then its you, who makes you sad. You are only looking for outside reasons to blame them for your sadness, but in truth all is in your hands. You decide whether you want constitute your reality upon happiness or sadness. Today, with quantum physics science has reached the point where this undeniable fact is approved. Science as well as psychology has approved that: thoughts create reality.

The reality you live in, reflects your thoughts. If you don’t like your reality and want to chance your life, you simply have to change your thoughts. We want to give you advices how to practice this in your everyday life. With these concentration and everyday practices you will gain control over your thoughts and hence over your whole life.

We want to convince you of the powerful instrument that is lying in your hands. Your thoughts are the main tool to control your feelings, attitudes and your reality. If you use this precious tool knowingly, consciously and wisely, you can take it for granted that you will succeed. You will soon discover the ability that you are indeed able to attract everything and everybody whenever, where ever and to what extent you like.

The flow of your thoughts actively creates your life. When you get experienced in consciously giving direction to the flow of your thoughts, you will automatically take control over your life. You only need to control your thoughts the rest will happen almost automatically. If you are honest to yourself, you will realize that right now your life is not controlled by your thoughts. It’s rather controlled by coincidences and many public manipulations. Take it seriously, practice regularly and you will create advantageous opportunities into your life, which will bring you nearer to your wishes. Your will approach to your desired way of life with every passing day.

Realize! Believe! Know! … andyour wishes simply become your everyday reality.

Want it and you will get it… for sure!

Are you ready to get to the secret of how to include this indisputable knowledge into your everyday life..?

Even though the human brain does never stop thinking, it does not care if your thoughts are actively or passively created. Unfortunately the majority of people does not consciously apply the process of thinking. Therefore their thoughts are passively pushed in every direction. In these cases the person cannot focus on his own particular wishes. If you don’t have a proper opinion about what you really want, your thoughts will be scattered over and over again. Here are some practices, which you will learn active thinking with.

It is just a question of concentrating on the right thought. At the beginning it is important to take your time. You need to be experienced in controlling your thoughts in order to go on with the next steps. Everything will be based on this foundation. For this purpose you should seriously plan into your day enough free time, where you can just relax and have a couple of minutes or maybe an hours for yourself. At the beginning you should practice every day. If you want to be successful even faster, you should repeat this practice a few times per day. There is not a lot of time required, you can already plan at least two free times to practice, when you get up a few minutes earlier and also go to bed a few minutes earlier.

a) Detecting
If you want to concentrate your thoughts properly, you first need to detect your true wish. Find out what you actually want for yourself, what you want to achieve in life, what are the most important things for you in life. With these kind of questions you slowly but surely give directions to your thoughts and start to draw your mind-map consciously. Every person has different desires in different areas of life. However, it is recommended to concentrate on one after the other. Your thoughts shouldn’t be scattered over different areas, as then the brain activity cannot reach its full potential according to a particular topic. First be clear about what you want in different areas of life, but then try to achieve them one after the other, unless it is possible to combine them.

Schedule your free time to make sure that you can take enough time for yourself as required. How much time you need depends on the strength of your will. The strength of will holds your thoughts together and maintains your concentration. You should plan at least twenty minutes for your daily concentration practices.

Try to repeat these questions a few times a day. After a couple of days your brain will learn these questions and will automatically look for answers. You can be sure that you will find your answers. If you are sincerely addressing your inner knowledge, it never leaves you without an answer. The repetition has another advantageous point. Your brain will start to automatically prepare for the next concentration exercise already a couple of minutes before, so that your concentration will be ever easier to be maintained.

Before starting to gather your concentration, first of all try to get rid of your daily struggles. If you realize that there are issues troubling your mind very much, don’t loose time with ignoring them. First of all concentrate on them and ask yourself, why these things don’t want to leave you in peace. Troubling thoughts are nothing negative, they only wait for the right time to call attention to themselves. Your concentration practices are this kind of right time they are waiting for. Just make towards them and listen to your own complaints. These complaints can give you some really good ideas about what is going on in your inner world. So, don’t ignore them and listen to your own thoughts arousing from inside.

After your complaints are calmed down, you will start with a fresh and strong concentration. While you ask yourself questions about what you truly want in life and want for yourself, you will also take notice of these complaints, which aroused just a few moments ago. By concentrating first on troubling thoughts, you actually widen your inner perspective and become more alerted and sensitive to inner voices. Now there is nothing standing between you and your concentration practices. Take as much time as you need, in order to detect your real wish. Your true wishes always have the highest priority in your life, if you want it or not.

b) Visualizing
Once you detected your wish, now you can try to visualize the pictures in front of your inner eye. Try to see as much details as possible. While trying to see the pictures and symbols inside, make use of your feelings. Only go on with the next step, when you make sure that you have a clear idea of what your wish is. Ask yourself what kind of emotions you feel when thinking of this wish/ when looking at this picture or listening to this sound?

If you realized what you truly want and if you are really convinced that this is what you truly wish to achieve in your life, go now even a step further and feel it as if its totally real. Imagine that your wish has already come true and start to feel it in your reality. How does it feel?

Visualize all the activities you will do when your wish comes true and actively think that your wish has already come true. Enjoy the pictures which are floating in your mind and know that they are already real. It’s just a question of time, when these scenes appear in your reality. They are in your mind, so you can be sure that they are already in your life. Try to catch these pictures and feel all the emotions as real as they are.

Live the moment… KNOW that it is real… Enjoy this mental trip.

Be sure that soon or later but for sure these emotions, these activities and all these scenes will become true.

c) Formulating
When you have successfully experienced the emotions in the step of visualizing, move on to the next step. Here you need to give the pictures you’ve seen in your visions their particular names. You need to define your inner pictures, voices or symbols, so that they can be memorized next time easier. But especially naming is important for your thoughts to be identified again next time. This way you make sure that your concentration exercise will make an ever increasing progress.

Now, take your favorite scenes again in front of your inner eye. Visualize all detail as real and close as possible. At the very moment, when you feel most comfortable in a scene give it a very specific name. Repeat the name a few times and then let the sound of the name die away inside you and absorb it with all your body.

If you like you can invent some new words, or just use some word which you like the sound of. The meaning is not important, because you anyway give it a new meaning by this very procedure. So, take whatever you like. It might also be a sentence or maybe a sound. It’s only important that you can repeat it next time, when you need to remember this vision with all its feelings, pictures and sounds again.

Go through several pictures or scenes in your mind the same way and name them one after the other. Go on with this as long as you want. At the beginning we recommend not to formulate sentences/words for more than five scenes/pictures in your mind, as otherwise the effect loses its impact and you get confused.

Conclusion:
When you start to ask yourself question as in the first parts of the practice, this pumps electrical impulses and blood into very new regions of your brain. That way new areas of your brain are activated, which were not used before. You increase your brain capacity and use more of your ability. When you continue with naming your visions, you set the bases for your new thoughts. This ensures that your thoughts are not flying away or that they don’t remain unrealized. By giving your wishes and desires an identity by naming them, you create the foundation to manifest your thoughts.

bit.ly – Thoughts are not the self of the person; desire is. Perceiving Reality dissolves the question “How Can I Control My Thoughts?” into “How Can I Change What I Desire?”

In my work on the dynamics of smoking, I have found that a smoker exerts a strong mind over matter effect on the body to allow themselves to smoke which in turn makes it difficult to simply stop smoking. Smokers have created a Psychological Smoking Mechanism to mentally suppress the normal body defenses to hot polluted smoke entering their delicate lungs. How is this possible?

It is well established in psychology that attitudes and beliefs affect thoughts. Thoughts in turn, affect our behavior, our bodies and even our state of health. But what if thought was more powerful than just affecting behavior and our personal well-being? What if thought actually affected matter outside ourselves?

Sounds like science fiction doesn’t it? We tend to believe that our thoughts are our own and have no force outside ourselves but research in Quantum Physics suggests that this notion is not correct. We are electromagnetic beings and our thoughts radiate out from us like a broadcast signal impacting things inside us and around us. Although we would like to believe that our thoughts are “private”, research has shown that thought DOES affect matter outside of ourselves. This gives a whole new meaning to “watch what you think!”

A very exciting body of scientific research has demonstrated the effects of thoughts on water! In this article, we will explore a characteristic of water that is not usually considered. Water stores thought energy and this energy impacts whoever or whatever uses the water.

Water is Dull and Wet!

When most people think of water, they think of it as a dull, uninteresting liquid. I don’t know how many people over the years have told me that they don’t like to drink water. Yet, water is necessary for life. In fact, our bodies are made up of about 70 percent water. A person can go a long time without eating but not without water.

Rather than being dull, there appears to be a great deal more to water than a simple combination of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Water appears to be a storage device and can be programmed by thought.

Water Gets a New Publicist

Research on the effects of thought on water has been around for a long time. But no one outside of scientific circles knew about it. It wasn’t until 2004, when the public was introduced to the impact of thought on water with the release of a movie called What the BLEEP Do We Know!? This movie was an introduction to concepts of Quantum Physics and presented some very fascinating ideas. The movie also introduced the work of Masaru Emoto, a Japanese man who discovered a way to visibly demonstrate the effects of thought on water!

Why was Masaru Emoto so interested in water? He had suffered from foot pain and a friend at his office had given him some water that had been specifically programmed with thought energy to heal his pain. Mr. Emoto, rather skeptically used the water and the pain went away. He was intrigued and had to know more.

Mr. Emoto was not scientifically trained but he knew there had to be a way to demonstrate the impact of thought on water. One day, he had the inspiration that the quality of water could be determined by crystallization.

The Method

Although Mr. Emoto was not trained in science, he knew a coworker that did have this training. When he told the coworker he wanted to take pictures of water crystals, the man said based on his experience, it was not possible. However, Mr. Emoto was confident it could be done and determined to do it. He kept encouraging the doubting researcher and eventually convinced him it could be done.

After two months of struggle, the first water crystal picture was taken. Over time, the method was improved and many water crystal pictures have been taken some of which were shown in the movie, What the BLEEP Do We Know!?

What Did Emoto Find?

Masaru Emoto discovered that water subjected to positive thoughts formed beautiful crystals and water exposed to negative thoughts formed either no crystals or deformed ones. He concluded that the water was affected by thought.

His further research showed that different thoughts could be stored in water and have a positive effect on the human body just as he experienced with the removal of his foot pain. Of course, many people may think this ridiculous but research shows the properties of water ARE affected by thought and other forms of energy such as magnetic fields.

Scientific Research Demonstrates Emoto is Correct!

Lynne McTaggart wrote an excellent book called The Field. This book deals with research findings in Quantum Physics. A body of research presented in the book that clearly supports Mr. Emoto was conducted in the 1960′s by biologist Dr. Bernard Grad of McGill University in Montreal.

Dr. Grad wanted to see if people can actually transmit healing energy to others. Rather than using person to person contact, he decided to use plants. This was a control method to eliminate the placebo effect.

In the first part of his study, he decided to make plants ill by soaking their seeds in salty water which retards growth. He had two experimental conditions. In the first, the control, he just had a container of salt water. In the second, he had a person known for “psychic” healing lay hands on the salt water container. Afterwards, the seeds were divided into two groups and soaked in the plain salt water or the treated salt water.

The results were unexpected. The seeds soaked in the water treated by intense thought grew taller than the untreated batch. It was a tightly controlled experiment and the results demonstrated that whatever the “healer” did to the water, was reflected in the improved health of the plants!

What Happens with Negative Thoughts?

In his first study, Dr. Grad demonstrated the effects of positive thoughts on water which had a positive effect on the plants that used it. He hypothesized that if the effect in the first study was accurate, that the opposite would occur with negative thoughts.

Dr. Grad decided that the best source of negative thoughts was disturbed psychiatric patients. One patient in his experimental group was diagnosed with psychotic depression and was noticeable more depressed than the other patients. He had each patient hold containers of plain water and marked them to know which patient held which container. He also used untreated water as a control. When Dr. Grad used the water to sprout seeds, all the water samples held by the psychiatric patients produced poor growth but the water from the extremely depressed person suppressed growth!

Again, these were plants and not subject to the placebo effect. They were being affected by the water that had been simply held by psychiatric patients. In other words, the patients were doing nothing more than being themselves and the water was affected!

Test Equipment Confirms Change in Water

Dr. Grad had much more scientific resources available to him than Masaru Emoto. Using infrared spectroscopy, he discovered that the water treated by the healer had minor shifts in its molecular structure and decreased hydrogen bonding between the molecules. This is the same thing observed when water has been exposed to magnetic fields. Thought DID affect the water!

This fits in nicely with the beautiful crystals (Positive Thoughts) versus the deformed or no crystals (Negative Thoughts) found by Emoto.

Conclusion

Research demonstrates that thought affects water and water retains this change. The water in turn, affects whatever uses it. Since our bodies are about 70% water, it is likely that our thoughts, both positive and negative, affect this water which in turn reflects back to us.

It’s been well demonstrated in psychology that negative thoughts adversely affect health. Perhaps the effect on the water in our bodies is one way this happens.

The important lesson to learn from this research is that thoughts are powerful and affect us. It is important to make sure our thoughts are positive thoughts!

Thought power is the key to creating your reality. Everything you perceive in the physical world has its origin in the invisible, inner world of your thoughts and beliefs. To become the master of your destiny, you must learn to control the nature of your dominant, habitual thoughts. By doing so you will be able to attract into your life anything you desire with exact precision as you come to know the Truth that your thoughts create your reality.

For Every Outside Effect There is an Inner Cause: Every effect you see in your outside or physical world has a very specific cause which has its origin in your inner or mental world. This is the essence of thought power. Put another way, the conditions and circumstances of your life are as a result of your thoughts and beliefs. James Allen said it best when he said “circumstances do not make a man, they reveal him”. Every aspect of your life, from the state of your finances to the state of your health and your relationships, is accurately revealing your thoughts and your beliefs.

It’s an Inside Job: Most people have it back to front, believing that they feel or think a certain way because of their circumstances, not knowing the truth that it is their thought power that is creating those very circumstances, whether wanted or unwanted. By internalizing and applying this Truth, that your thoughts create your reality, you will grant yourself the power to create the changes you desire to see manifest in your life. Reality creation is an inside job.

Your Thought Power is Limitless: There is a single, intelligent Consciousness that pervades the entire Universe – all powerful, all knowing, all creative and present everywhere at the same time – the Universal Mind. Your mind is part of this One Universal Mind and since your thoughts are a product of your mind, it follows that your thought power too is limitless. Once you truly understand that your mind is one with the Single Source of All Power and that this power is within you, you will have found the only true source of infinite power for which nothing is impossible and impossible is nothing. Know that thought power comes from within. All power comes from within.

Your Thoughts are Alive: The greatest mystics and teachers that have walked the Earth have told us that everything is energy. This fundamental Truth has now been undeniably confirmed by modern science. Your thoughts too are energy. William Walker Atkinson told us that “where mind is static energy, thought is dynamic energy – two phases of the same thing” and Charles Haanel went on to say that “thought power is the vibratory force formed by converting static mind into dynamic mind”. Your thoughts are alive. Each time you entertain a specific thought, you emit a very specific, corresponding frequency or energy vibration.

What Frequency Are You On: The basic premise of the Law of Attraction is that like energy attracts like energy. You attract to yourself those things and circumstances that are in vibrational harmony with your dominant frequency, which is itself determined by your dominant mental attitude, habitual thoughts and beliefs. Mike Dooley, one of the presenters of the movie The Secret, fittingly suggests if you want to know what a thought looks like, just look around you. Keep in mind his three words “thoughts are things”.

Not All Thoughts Are Created Equal: The attractive power of any particular thought is determined by how often you have that thought and by the strength of the feelings or emotions associated with it. The more energy you give to a particular thought, the greater its power to attract its corresponding circumstance into your physical world through the Law of Attraction. Your one-off, passing thoughts do not have the same creative power as your habitual thoughts and beliefs. Remember, that it is of little use to entertain positive thoughts for just a short burst of time each day if you then proceed to think negative or unwanted thoughts for the rest of the day. Your reality is the sum total of all your thoughts.

Use Thought Power to Change Your Life: It is your subconscious mind that is the store house of your deep-seated beliefs and programmes. To change your circumstances and attract to yourself that which you desire, you must learn to programme and re-programme your subconscious mind. Since your mind is one with the all-powerful Universal Mind, the potential power of your subconscious mind is also limitless. The most effective and practical way to programme your subconscious mind for success in all areas of your life is to learn the simple process of creative visualization. It is the technique underlying reality creation, making use of thought power to consciously imagine, create and attract that which you desire. Your imagination is the engine of your thoughts. It converts your thought power into mental images.

Become Aware of Your Thoughts But Not Obsessed: It is important that you learn to be aware of your habitual thoughts and to appropriately adjust them so as to maintain an overall positive mental attitude. However, be careful not to become obsessed with every thought that enters your mind as this would be equally counter-productive, if not more so, than not being aware of them at all. Remember that to obsess over your negative, unwanted thoughts, is to give them power and as the saying goes, what you resist persists. So instead of resisting any of your negative thoughts, simply learn to effortlessly cancel them by replacing them as they arise.

Instantly Replace Unwanted Thoughts: To instantly neutralize the power of a negative thought, calmly and deliberately replace it with its opposite, positive equivalent. For instance if you think to yourself “I’m not good enough, I will never succeed”, mentally replace the thought with “I am good enough and success comes to me easily”. You can also use the “cancel cancel” technique made famous by the Silva Method. Each time you catch yourself thinking an unwanted thought, mentally tell yourself and the Universe “cancel cancel” and immediately follow it up with a positive statement.

Tame Your Dominant Thoughts and the Random Will Follow: It is estimated that the average person has between 12,000 and 70,000 thoughts a day. This is evidence enough to suggest that your goal should not be to control every thought. It is your dominant thoughts and beliefs that you must learn to bring under your conscious control as they are what largely determine your mental attitude. As you do, you will find your random thoughts themselves becoming more positive and more deliberate.

The following words of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha perfectly capture the essence of thought power: “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.”

In a nutshell, your life is the perfect mirror of your thoughts, beliefs and dominant mental attitude. Whether you realise it or not you are already creating your reality through your thought power. Every effect you see in your outside world has its original cause within you – no exceptions. To gain access to the greatest creative power at your disposal, you must learn to control the nature of your habitual thoughts and to align yourself with the One Source of All Power of which you are a part. Your thoughts create your reality – know, internalize and apply this Truth and you will see your life transform in miraculous ways.
