In the last article in this Create a New Self-Image series we presented Step 1 of our five-step process to recreate your self-image. Let us now introduce Step 2 and Step 3…

Step #2 – Future Glimpse

Now watch the globe below you begin to spin faster. Time is passing quickly. As the world turns, imagine that you are looking at the Earth five years from now.

At this point in time, in this alternate universe which you have just created in your mind, you have already succeed in achieving what you currently desire most. You are at the pinnacle of your potential.

Descend slowly towards the earth and visit your future self. Where are you? What are you doing? What do you look like?

Now ask your future self about his or her self-image. What inner beliefs have enabled this future self to succeed in achieving his or her desire? What has your future self done to succeed? What habits has your future self established? What habits has your future self discarded? What limiting beliefs did your future self used to have, but which are now no longer part of his or her self-image?

When you have this information, proceed to…
 
Step #3 – Erase Your Old Self-Image

Now that you know that your chief desire in life is part of your life purpose, and you have visited your future self, ascend back into space. Do not stop until the world is once again spinning below you.

At this point, realise that all of your current beliefs about who you are and what you are capable or incapable of are based on nothing more than the opinions of other people. Rather than sort through which beliefs are true and which are not, simply decide to ‘erase’ your old self-image. To do this, imagine a blank white sheet on which your new self-image will be created.

In the last two parts of this Create a New Self-Image series we established that the self-image can either hinder manifestation or help it, and that if you recreate your self-image you will begin to recreate your entire life. With all of that said, we are now ready to present the Create a New Self-Image process.

Create A New Self-Image Process

This process is divided into five easy steps, all of which will be covered in the next few parts of this series. All but the last step involves a brief meditation on a specific mental image. Follow each step as directed and you will effectively re-program your self-image. For best results this entire five-step process should be repeated often, preferably on a weekly basis for at least five weeks.

Step #1 – Before Birth

Close your eyes and imagine that you have not yet been born. You are an infinite, eternal spiritual being who is about to choose to live as a human for a finite period of time.

Imagine looking at the earth from a ‘gods-eye-view’. The world spins slowly below you – a rotating globe of blue and green.

From this perspective, think about your human desires. What is it that you want to achieve more than anything in your forthcoming lifetime? Career success? Romantic happiness? Spiritual evolution?

Whatever your overwhelming desire is, realise that this desire is not foolish or beyond your reach. On the contrary, the fulfilment of this desire is most probably your life’s purpose, in which case it is imperative that you succeed in achieving it.

Look at the globe of the earth again, and realise that you are going to live as a human in order to achieve this purpose. You are destined to achieve it. You need to achieve it. And most of all, you are already fully equipped to achieve it.

Entering The Zone – Method Two

This method of entering the Zone is one which some experts believe is subconsciously carried out by top athletes. Whether or not this is the case, what is a matter of fact is that it is a method sometimes used by native Americans and Shamans to alter their states of awareness. It is an extremely powerful method because it fuses the power of rhythmic breathing with aerobic exercise and deliberate visualization.

Because this method involves aerobic exercise, we would suggest that any reader who is worried about his or her health or who has not taken regular exercise for some time might be wise to consult a doctor before following the instructions below…

Equip yourself with a pair of jogging shoes and suitable jogging attire.

Jog gently for around three minutes. During this period your breathing will develop a rhythm of its own. Normally your footsteps will automatically be in tune with this rhythm, but if they are not, try to correct the situation.

When the rhythm is firmly established, continue jogging and start imagining the loud beat of a drum with every inhalation and exhalation. Feel the vibrations of this drum course through your body, empowering you.

Part two of this method is exactly the same as part two of the previous method. Proceed as follows:

Imagine yourself going about your daily business, but being in perfect and total control. Imagine feeling totally connected to the universe and everything in it. Imagine everything going well for you. Imagine having a desire and then having that desire met almost immediately. The more emotion you can pack into this creative visualization, the better.

Now think of one of your major desires – it may be for a new job, greater abundance or a new romantic partner, etc. – and imagine that you already have it. Deliberately tell yourself and the universe that your desire has been fulfilled, then detach yourself from this desire and leave it alone.

You can jog for as long as you wish whilst using this method, but obviously your physical stamina will take time to build up. A beginner may only feel able to jog for a few minutes, whilst a person who has used this method for a few weeks may well be able to jog for half an hour to an hour, or even more.

Your aim is simply to start using this method on a regular basis, jog for however long you can and build up from there.

Entering the Zone – Method One

This first method of entering the Zone uses the power of meditation and breathing to induce an alpha-rhythm in the brain. The more often this alpha-rhythm is deliberately induced, the easier it will be to enter the Zone. For this reason we strongly recommend that you practice this method every day without fail. Make it a habit – as much a part of your life as brushing your teeth – and the benefits will soon become apparent.

The method is as follows:

Go to a place where you will not be disturbed for at least half an hour. If you wish you can make the place more comfortable by closing curtains and lighting a candle or two, and perhaps some incense as well.

Sit comfortably in a chair or on the floor and ensure that your back is as straight as possible.

Close your eyes and concentrate on watching your breaths. Do not count your breaths, but simply ‘watch’ as you inhale and exhale. You may find it helpful to focus on the nostrils where air naturally enters and exits the body.

After a few moments you will notice that your breathing naturally slows and develops its own rhythm. Tune into this rhythm by imagining a drum beat every time you inhale and exhale. Imagine that the drum beats loudly, and that its vibrations can be felt throughout your entire being.

Before long you will feel incredibly relaxed and yet very alert. You will not get ‘tranced out’, but if you do feel sleepy then stop the exercise and try again when you are feeling less tired.

After fifteen minutes or so of watching your breaths an alpha- rhythm should have been established. Now it is time to go on to the second part of our method…

Imagine yourself going about your daily business, but being in perfect and total control. Imagine feeling totally connected to the universe and everything in it. Imagine everything going well for you. Imagine having a desire and then having that desire met almost immediately. The more emotion you can pack into this creative visualization, the better.

Now think of one of your major desires – it may be for a new job, greater abundance or a new romantic partner, etc. – and imagine that you already have it. Deliberately tell yourself and the universe that your desire has been fulfilled, then detach yourself from this desire and leave it alone.

When you have visualized in this manner for another fifteen minutes or so, open your eyes and then resume your normal daily business.
