Simple Practice To Align Your Subconscious Thinking with Your Goals
In the journey towards personal and professional growth and goals, one of the most impactful changes we can make is to shift our subconscious thinking from negative, limiting patterns to positive, goal-aligned ones. Neville Goddard, a luminary in the field of metaphysical thought, offers a practical and profound methodology for achieving this transformation. His teachings, well described in one of his most practical books "Feeling is the Secret," provide actionable steps to align our subconscious mind with our conscious goals and intentions. Let's delve into how Goddard's principles can be applied through a series of practical steps. Apply them using your own goals and desires.
1. Define Your Desire
Lets say you're aiming to improve your health and fitness level. The first step is to clearly articulate this desire: "I want to be in the best shape of my life, feeling strong, energetic, and healthy."
2. Enter a State Akin to Sleep (SATS) - Alpha Brain
Find a quiet place for yourself. You can lay down in the morning, or during a break at work. Close your eyes. Relax your body and mind to the brink of sleep. The goal here is to slow your brain waves into an Alpha state.
3. Create a Scene in your Imagination
Close your eyes, and visualize a scene that signifies your goal's fulfillment. You could imagine looking at yourself in the mirror, noticing the physical changes, and feeling the vitality in your body. Perhaps you're walking on the beach feeling confident about how you look. The key here is feeling, get in tune with how you would feel when this becomes your reality, and feel it. Engage all your senses in this visualization. Feel the sweat on your skin, the strength in your muscles, and the satisfaction of completing your workout. The emotional and sensory richness of this scene is crucial for impressing it upon your subconscious.
4. Sustain the Feeling
Maintain the feeling of accomplishment and health as you drift off to sleep. This reinforcement will help to embed the desired state into your subconscious, influencing your belief and actions towards achieving it.
5. Live in the End
Throughout your day, embody the energy and lifestyle of someone who has already achieved their fitness goals. Choose nutritious foods, enjoy your workouts, and carry yourself with the confidence of your envisioned state. It’s likely you will notice that some of your thinking has already changed in alignment with your goals.
6. Let Go of the How
Don't get bogged down by specifics of how your transformation will occur. Focus on embodying your end goal and trust that with consistent actions aligned with your visualization, the path will unfold.
7. Gratitude
Cultivate gratitude for your health and progress, even before your goal is fully realized. Each day, acknowledge something positive about your journey, reinforcing the belief and feelings of your success.
Takeaways
By applying Goddard's steps to your goals, you actively reprogram your subconscious to align with your aspirations. This approach isn't limited to physical health; it's a versatile tool for any area of life, from career ambitions to improving relationships with loved ones.
The above methodology goes beyond mere positive thinking. It involves a profound alignment of belief, emotion, and action, offering a roadmap to not only envision but to live the reality of our desires. Through practical application of these steps, we can transform our inner world and, by extension, our external reality, unlocking the potential to achieve our goals.
