the Power of Intent

Hey!
we've all heard of the laws of manifestation, what with having been bombarded with books like 'The Secret' over the last few years.
But I really think there is something to this. However, there is one vital flaw, which I'll explain in a moment below.
When I announced the release date of the next Lullabys single (http://www.thelullabys.com/) I put the intention out there. Suddenly we had a goal to aim for. Then it was a case of putting the wheels in motion, taking action in other words. And just the other day, myself and Brett happened upon the most wonderful studio in which to record. Check it out here: http://www.monkeypuzzlehouse.com/
It's a beautiful place, set in the Suffolk countryside and has outstanding equipment. And we liked the guys too and are confident we can get some great recordings done.
So, recording starts on the first week in February.

I also had time to do some promo work for my hypnotherapy practice. It's really amazing how this works! Everytime I get really focused the law of manifestation seems to happen. I am in tune with the universe. So, there I was, putting out some business cards in the town and got talking to a bloke who said I could use his room FREE for conferences/workshops. He then told me of a woman who had just started up as a complimentary therapist and was looking for a hypnotherapist to join her! The law of attraction in operation again! I had the intent (get more business/clients), took action (took the cards/flyers out) and the universe rewarded me.

But now, the one caveat to this law of attraction. It's no good just thinking more positively and using positive affirmations. Many books over the years have suggested that we should stand in front of the mirror and speak positively to ourselves. This is all well and good but - and this is where the problem lies - if you have an unconcious part of you sabotaging your efforts no amount of positive thinking will overcome it! That's because the unconscious mind is far more powerful than your conscious. The way around it is to make friends with your sabateur!

So, if you consciously want to achieve things (such as lose weight, stop smoking) but can't manage it, no matter how hard you try, there may well be an unconscious sabateur thwarting your efforts.

More on this in the next post. For now, you can keep abreast of developments in The Lullabys by registering as a fan at the website and if you want to know more about hypnosis just check out http://www.stow-hypno.co.uk/
