The Power of Day Dreaming
Einstein said, "Imagination is your preview of coming events". In other words we create our
reality with our thoughts. The more positive our thoughts and outlook for life, the more peaceful
and harmonious our lives will be. In many cases the problem is that we can not make ourselves think
positive. The problem is not a lack of desire for positive thinking, the problem resides in our
subconscious minds, it keeps sabotaging our efforts.
Let me explain. Our subconscious minds have been programmed with both negative and positive thoughts
since the time we are born. Remember that we are like sponges ' absorbing from our environment,
especially the first 9 to 12 years of our lives. We absorb good and bad, without judgment by the mind.
If we grew up in an environment of “worries”, we become worriers. If we grew up in an environment that
fostered anger,
we learn to react with anger. If all we saw was lack and limitation, we grew up knowing that life was
hard and that we needed to work hard to make money, for example.
By the time we reach adulthood, we have a mind that has been programmed with many aspects we would
rather eliminate from our minds. The problem then becomes the fact that our mind is very powerful
and it has the power to create a reality from those old programs. When we decide to change our thinking
and think positive, the subconscious mind rejects the idea. The subconscious mind rejects the idea only
because it’s protecting an opposite idea. For example, if we are trying to change our programming regarding
money and we use affirmations such as “Money comes easily and effortlessly” or “I am rich and abundant”,
the mind rejects them because it already has a belief that says, “Life is hard” or “There is never enough
money”.
So how do we access this mind and change our programming? Our way is through the power of Hypnosis. Hypnosis
is a low brain frequency where our physical bodies are relaxed and the mind is in focused state. We enter
light states of hypnosis throughout the day just before we fall sleep or as we are waking up in the morning.
We also enter light states of hypnosis when we are absorbed reading a book or watching a movie. We can also
reach this level by daydreaming. Here is a recipe for you:
1. Sit comfortably and close your eyes.
2. For a few moments, focus on your breath. Feel it coming in and out as it relaxes your body.
3. Bring your eyes 30 degrees up under your eyelids, without straining your eyes, just softly bring
them up a little.
4. Count yourself 5 to 0 and as you do, feel every part of your body becoming heavier and heavier,
especially your extremities.
5. Daydream. This is not about hard work affirming, this is about having fun in your mind daydreaming.
Fantasize. See yourself with your completed goal. This goal may be simply being happy and fulfilled with
your life, it may be seeing yourself doing what you love, may be seeing yourself surrounded with all
the abundance and richness you deserve.
6. Count yourself back from 0 to 5, telling yourself you’re waking up feeling full of energy and totally
awake.
Do this twice or three times a day, or as often as you want. In between, keep these images in your mind.
The most important part about daydreaming is feeling it in your heart and having fun while you do it.
Get really into it. Believe and feel it in your heart. Feel joy and gratitude. Remember to keep it all
in the “present”, that’s what daydreaming means. It means you’re transporting yourself and seeing things
as if they are the reality already. When we feel with our hearts we are impressing our subconscious mind
at a very deep level. Then, at this point, we trigger the law of attraction and our outer word changes and
we create the outer reality we desire. As always, remember, you are a Spiritual Being having a human experience.
It’s ultimately your choice to be happy by remembering your Divine nature.
