One of the areas I particularly wish to work on in the course of 
developing material for my website and when working with clients, 
is explaining the actual nitty-gritty of how the processes of 
positive change can and do actually manifest in our lives.

Lets say you are working in a dull low paid job that you do not 
like.  You have run up debts on your credit cards and you seem 
trapped in a  cycle of paying debt with no freedom to pursue 
other interests etc.  Your options seem very limited and you feel 
trapped on the treadmill  of life, going nowhere.

Theoretically you could clarify and focus your thoughts and 
feelings  around what you want sufficiently to be able to 
"miraculously" find a  new job, come into some unexpected money 
and clear your debts.

That is basically how it works. As you focus more upon your wants 
and  less upon the lack of your wants you find opportunities 
readily  presenting themselves in your life. As you bring more 
focused  awareness to your successes than your failures you will 
have more  success. As you learn to trust your instincts, 
intuition and hunches  you will begin to feel safer in the face 
of the apparent set backs on  the path of your life.

The bad news is that whilst all this could happen overnight it 
probably will not because such a transformation would actually be 
a  "shock" to your energy field and your current sense of self; 
to such  an extent that you probably would not be able to accept 
your good  fortune. It does not have to be like that but for most 
people it is.  Us humans tend to resist change and so change 
comes slowly; we find  it more comfortable that way, EVEN if the 
changes are positive.

Another aspect to consider is risk. I have found that we need to 
take  risks in order to grow and learn to trust the processes of 
life and  furthermore that the risks we need to take may not be 
very logical.

I call it "Saying Yes First". For instance, you want a new and 
more  fulfilling job that is better paid. You may just have to 
quit the job  you are in first. Why? Well by doing just that you 
are in effect auto-channeling more energy into the process of 
getting this wonderful job  you want. The potential consequences 
of being out of work and in debt  are so horrendous that you 
barely even think of them. This in turn  means that your focus 
towards wanting this new job is heightened as  it becomes a very 
real necessity. In effect you are saying YES I  believe this and 
I trust that I will be proved correct to believe it.  I am 
prepared to take the risk.

The trouble with this course of action is that it is risky and 
may  well backfire on you if your fear of the potential negative 
consequences is greater than your desire for success. If this is 
the  case you will get into greater financial trouble and end 
saying to  yourself "I knew I shouldn't have done that" and lapse 
back into  feelings of being a victim of this harsh life.

One of my examples of doing this was when the tax authorities 
here  announced that I owed them hundreds of thousands of pounds 
in taxes  for self-employed sub-contractors that supposedly 
should have been  employees. This would mean total financial ruin 
for my family and me.  Somehow though it just seemed unreal, not 
possible, but I was  certainly very scared at times because you 
never can tell can you? So  after some meditation and quiet 
reflection I actually leased a new  Mercedes as an affirmation 
that this was not the reality I was going  experience. This car 
was my ready connection to feelings of  prosperity. Finally a 
couple of years later the tax was settled at a  relatively mere 
£6,000.00 and I sold the Mercedes as it just did not  seem to 
"fit" anymore.

This is why only YOU can decide what is right for you and those 
decisions will be your edge and your continuing challenge. Daring 
to  fully trust yourself to make decisions that you will honour 
as being  correct at the time (simply because you made them) 
regardless of the  potential outcome.

So in the fewest words I can muster today here is the summary of 
"how" your life can change for the better.

* By dreaming yourself a new lifestyle you connect with the 
  "feeling" of living that life.

* That "feeling" state vibrates harmoniously with the universal  
  energy field and fresh ideas, impulses and opportunities occur 
  in your life.

* Acting upon those ideas, impulses and opportunities allows 
  your new life to materialise

* Continued focus on your part towards the life that you desire 
  increases your ability to manifest it. Your vision becomes 
  more real and less some dream-like flight of fantasy.

* This increased positive energetic focus "also" brings your 
  fears to consciousness for healing. There will be times when 
  you feel quite frightened. That is normal and a good sign!

* Your ability to remain focused upon a task or goal strengthens.

* Life takes on a magical quality as you come to positively 
  expect wondrous things to happen.

* Sometimes you think all of the above is a bunch of "hogwash!"

* You come to realise conclusively that "it isn't" and start 
  telling people about it.
