Finding your Soul Mate is not as random as many believe

We all have, at one time or another, felt lonely and wished that we had someone we could share our lives with. Many who made this wish found their perfect partner, others are still alone to this day and yet others found and keep finding people that just bring them grief and unhappiness.

Many believe that finding your soul mate is a random event that is just down to luck. Others believe that such unions are made in heaven and there are many who don’t believe in the idea of a perfect partner. Whatever you believe is exactly what your subconscious will endeavour to create for you.

It is our core belief system that determines what we deem to be true and what we dismiss as rubbish. What most people fail to realise is that a belief is an opinion that you have labelled as true. Many fail to realise that it is our belief in opinions that give them the energy to create our life experiences.

The Law of Attraction

There are however a growing number of people who are realising that they need not be a slave to belief and have learned to use the dynamic of imbuing opinion with enough energy to replace their core beliefs with beliefs that deliberately create what they want. James Allen, author of the book As A Man Thinketh was one such person and the ideas he put forward are now reflected in The Secret by Rhonda Byrne and championed by many famous people under the title The Law of Attraction.

In a nutshell, you get what you believe to be true of yourself and the world you live in. The world and your experiences are physical manifestations of what you believe to be true without any shadow of a doubt. In fact you would dismiss any idea that does not agree with your world view and that is the power of belief. When you learn to harness this power to serve you only then do you become master of your own destiny. Until then the world is something that happens to you and you feel as if you are in a boat with no oars being buffeted sometimes by a raging sea or going nowhere when the wind subsides. That is why our life experience is sometimes described as a see saw between sorrow and joy.

When you fully realise that thoughts and opinions are simply building blocks for the life you wish to experience you are then free to believe those that are in harmony with your goals and discard those that seek to sabotage your efforts. The key is in realising that the world you see and the life you experience are material external manifestations of the thoughts you hold true, deep within yourself in your subconscious. Change your beliefs and you change your world.

Attracting Your Perfect Partner Hypnosis Audio Download by Mary Nathan

It is for this reason I have created an audio which you can purchase and download from Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic Website Downloads page called Attracting Your Perfect Partner by Mary Nathan. Using the power of hypnosis to access the subconscious the audio serves to teach you how to replace the beliefs that are preventing you from attracting your perfect partner with beliefs that will make you a magnet for your soul mate.

Joining dating sites, going out to clubs and pubs are wasted activities if the mindset is not right. The mind commands and the world obeys. It is not the other way around. We are not taught this in school and most of us are not taught this at home not because there is a conspiracy but mainly because people are ignorant of the laws that govern thought and how it can be used to serve us.

Greatest Discovery of all Time

If someone were to ask you what the master discovery of the ages was, what would you answer? Well, you might suggest something in the scientific field like atomic energy or you may suggest travel to space or perhaps a cure for life threatening diseases! Great as these are, the master discovery of the ages is within all of us. It is simply the extraordinarily powerful workings of our subconscious mind.

It is through the work of great men like Sigmund Freud only in the last century and which continues to this day that we are beginning to glimpse the power behind our waking lives.

The Limitless Nature of the Subconscious

Research has shown that our conscious awareness is limited in that most of us can only focus our attention on no more than seven thoughts at a time and even when we do this we go from one to another in quick succession rather than thinking of them all at one time. The subconscious, however, is capable of attending to millions of the most intricate and complex tasks from regulating our breathing and heart beat to controlling all the chemical processes in our body.

We don’t often stop to think that if the subconscious refused to take charge of our breathing or our heart beat we could not function. Yet these are just two of the many processes which sustain life and make it possible for us to get on with our daily lives without being bogged down with thinking about taking our next breath or having the next heart beat.

As a Man Thinketh

“As a man thinketh, so he is”. These very famous words, by the sage James Allen, tell that the thoughts we dwell upon reflect how we feel and who we really are. It is our feelings that are the driving force behind our every word, action and reaction and as such paint the picture of ourselves we show to the world. It is by feeling the way we do that we attract to ourselves the people and experiences we have.

Would it then not make more sense for us to practice dwelling on thoughts that will make us feel the feelings that will attract the people and experiences we say we want. Thoughts which recur on a daily basis betray our true feelings but more importantly tell us what we have been attracting into our lives. Thinking a certain way can become a habit and like all habits we become a slave to them having no longer to consciously control them without enormous effort. Everything we attract into our lives is as a result of those very thoughts we can’t stop thinking and determine how we react to any given situation or person again and again!

The more we think that we can’t do something the more it becomes impossible to do it. Whether we are singers, actors, sport people, writers, teachers, plumbers, doctors or from any walk of life we are only as good as we believe ourselves to be. It doesn’t matter at the end of the day how much natural talent you have or gifted you are, you are limited by the belief you have in yourself.

The Prison of Irrational Fear

So many performers who could be so much better fall victim to and are paralysed by irrational fear, and the ensuing lack of confidence, to the point where they are physically sick before going on stage or before a big competition. This kind of fear imprisons us and forbids us to reach our full potential. The key to the prison which lies within is the unlocking of the power of the subconscious mind freeing us from all kinds of mental and physical bondage.

Within each of us lie infinite wisdom, infinite talent, infinite courage, and infinite love. It is all there waiting for us to use, we just have to become aware of it and learn to access it thus allowing us to make all our dreams a reality. We need to befriend the genie within each one of us.

Trust in the Power of the Subconscious

“The law of life is the law of belief”, says Dr Joseph Murphy. Do not hold yourself back by holding fast to limiting thoughts and beliefs. Use the power of your mind to see yourself at your best, performing at your best, feeling your best, looking your best and ultimately this is what you will achieve. Stop the negative criticism and feed yourself loving, inspiring words, imagine yourself performing perfectly. Do this regularly and with love and tenderness and watch the changes you bring about in your life. Remember if the subconscious can control all those things that your conscious mind can only deal with one at a time then imagine what it can do with a simple request for excellence!

Hypnosis to Harness the Power of the Subconscious

Hypnotherapy guides you to connect with the infinite power within you to achieve all the things you imagine you might like to have. After all what the mind perceives … you can achieve. With a little guidance you can learn to change your thoughts and thus change your destiny!

We spend most of our lives see-sawing between our feelings. Sometimes it might feel as if you are on a boat on the ocean at the mercy of the weather not realising that not only does the boat you are in have oars but it also has an engine. We wake up every morning not knowing what to expect and if we take the time to think about it most of us would probably imagine that life happens to us and how we feel depends on external circumstances quite out of our control. In this article I would like to explain how you are responsible for how you feel.

Happiness like sadness is a feeling. You can’t explain a feeling all you can do is feel it. You can explain a thought but you cannot feel a thought. A thought is not a feeling. I can think about the sea and even remember or imagine a time I spent by the sea. I can even conjure up the sound of the sea, the smell of the sea and the feel of the spray on my skin. The feeling I associate with this thought could be sadness because I am sitting on the beach crying because my wife has left me for another man or it could be joyful as I look out over the horizon in anticipation of seeing the boat that is bringing my son home from war.

The thought you think affects your mood and makes you feel how you feel. The thought propels you into the feeling and once you are feeling the feeling your thoughts are hijacked and you keep thinking those thoughts and making yourself feel more of those same feelings.

Normally when we are in “idle” mode thoughts come and go. When we give a thought our attention we are directing ourselves into a feeling. It is how we choose our thoughts that determines our mood and the way we feel. The thoughts we pay attention to create our feelings. So you can conclude that the more time you spend paying attention to happy thoughts the happier you will become. By the same token the more time you spend thinking about sad things the sadder you feel.

By thinking happy thoughts you make yourself feel happy. Thinking sad thoughts makes you feel sad. You are the only one in there with you. You are the one doing the thinking and you are the one choosing the thoughts to think. So, you are the one responsible for how you feel.

Knowing this then why won’t you choose to think the thoughts that will bring you feelings of happiness, joy and love? The reason is habit. The mind has gotten into bad habits. Because you have never taken control of your ship and directed your mind to think what you want your mind has been steering the boat. The boat has gotten used to docking at certain ports and to steer a new course to happier destinations you must now take control of the steering wheel.

Like any change you want to make in your life some effort must be exerted initially. By persistence in choosing the thoughts to focus upon you change the old pattern and you get used to a new way of being in the world.
One very good way to trick your mind into reversing its attention from sad to happy thoughts is to regularly ask your self the question “What can I be grateful for right now in my life?” Simply finding things in your life to be grateful for has the affect of changing the direction of your thoughts from negative to positive and so altering how you feel. Start the day saying thank you, spend the day saying thank you and end the day saying thank you. This is a sure way to attract more love and happiness into your life. .

Keep finding things to be really grateful for like things that you have, things that you do and things that you are and you will start feeling happier. You cannot feel bad while you are feeling grateful so gratitude is the short cut back to happiness. The happiness then makes it easier for you to remember happy memories and the cycle continues. Photographs are a great way of getting you to kick start happy memories.

Before I get out of bed every morning I say thank you to my bed and feel a great sense of appreciation that I have such a comfortable bed to sleep in. I look across at my wife and I think how thankful I am to have another day to spend with her. I look across at a photograph of myself as a boy of 3 years old and I thank the child within me. I thank the clothes I am going to put on. I say thank you to my body for being fit and healthy and the list goes on. I spend at least 10 minutes every morning doing this before even getting out of bed and continue to do this during the day as often as I remember to do. I thank everyone I meet (not out loud but in my heart) and send them good feelings. What you send out comes back to you 100 fold. I do it and it works. I am a very happy man most of the time and when I am not I know exactly how to become happy again and I do!

Here is a poem by a lady who expresses everything I say here in this post but far more eloquently. Shipwrecked by tnderhrt23

The Power by Rhonda Byrne

This is a life changing book that explains the power of love. Each one of us has the choice to think what we want but we seldom exercise this choice. We spend most of the day on auto pilot reacting in the same way to people and events that occur oblivious to the fact that we are creating our feelings and our circumstances. Our thoughts affect how we feel and when we feel bad we tend to think more bad thoughts and create even more bad feeling and this situation continues until we think good thoughts to lift our mood. Our feelings attract into our lives people and circumstances that reflect how we feel and that is why it is in our interests to exercise the power of choice to create happiness and always be connected to universal power of love.
