Attracting Your Perfect Partner


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!

You Attract What You Think About Most


Microsoft office ImageThe Universe wants to give you everything you desire. When I say everything I mean EVERYTHING and this includes material possessions, things you want to do and even the way you want to be. So if you want to be rich, if you want a new car, if you want that promotion, if you want to find your perfect partner, the Universe wants to make your wishes come true. You might then ask why don’t you already have all the things you desire if the Universe wants you to have them? The problem is you were given free will.

There are no coincidences in life. We create what we have and if you don’t like what you have then you must endeavour to understand how you created what you have in the first place and let go of your victim mentality. You are in charge and you have always been in charge of what you have, what you do and what you are. You just never realised how you created it all.

The thoughts that enter your mind are like birds that fly across the sky. You can choose to follow Microsoft Office Imagethe trajectory of any thought that crosses the sky of your mind and by the same token you also have the choice not to follow a thought. Some thoughts when followed lead to feelings of sadness, anger and fear. It is like getting on a bus to go to a place you know you don’t like. Why get on the bus in the first place and why keep taking the bus to the same horrible destination? You and only you can choose your thoughts. There is nobody else inside you telling you what to think. The thoughts you choose to dwell upon affect your feelings and it is your feelings that attract the people and circumstances that create what you have. If you dwell on sad miserable thoughts then the destination will always be sadness and misery. If you choose to dwell on happy thoughts then you will feel happy. This is a basic law of the Universe but one that seems to get missed by the majority of people nowadays who would prefer to believe in some power outside themselves to blame for their misery and hardship.

Microsoft office ImageSo when someone annoys you or upsets you you have the free will to choose how to think about that. You can choose to give your power away and allow your thoughts to be hijacked by the person who upset or annoyed you. By doing this you are attracting even more upset and annoyance but most people just keep going like the hamster on the treadmill behaving as if they had no choice. By choosing to think positively about anything that happens you are in affect reclaiming your power of choice and you are no longer a victim. If you choose to think positively then you attract positive results and get what you desire. You get back what you give out. It is as simple as that!

There is effort required to break old habits. You have spent your life being led by the nose byMicrosoft Office Image thoughts that have made you feel bad and you never realised that you had a choice. To break this habit you must develop a new habit. Think about all the things you love. Not just material things, think also of the things you love doing and the things you love being.

If you do this you are making an effort to change the old patterns and you are choosing to take responsibility for your life and your happiness.

Feel what you want and trust the Universe to give you what you feel. Seen in this light doesn’t it make sense to deliberately choose to feel happy?

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.

As a Man Thinketh


James Allen

James Allen

How Thought Creates Your Reality

James Allen (1864 to 1912) was a humble man of humble origins who said what he thought and did what he said. He discovered a way to achieve happiness consistently and in all circumstances as long as certain laws of the universe were adhered to. The laws of the universe I refer to are the same laws described by all the saints, mystics and prophets down though the ages. They are the same laws decribed in the Christian Bible, the Koran of Islam, The Vedas of the Hindus and in all the sacred ancient texts. James Allen didn’t discover anything new he just became aware of how to use what was already available to each one of us.

His education was interrupted at the age of fifteen when he was forced to leave school to support his family after his father was killed. He worked hard and made the best of what life had given him. After uncovering the laws that governed reality he devoted his life to applying these laws and teaching people how to use them. He wrote nineteen books in all and though he did not receive fame or fortune in his own lifetime his books have inspired millions since his death.

I learned of James Allen when my father gave me the book “As A Man
Thinketh
” as I set out on my own life’s journey as a young man. I didn’t fully understand the ideas explained in the book at first. It has taken me many years and many readings to come to the understanding I have today of what James Allen wanted to teach the world. I would like to share with you this understanding which I practice in my own life. No doubt I will continue to refine this understanding as the years progress and I invite you to join me in exploring how our thoughts create and are constantly altering our reality.

Thought is an energy. Like electricity or magnetism you can’t see it but you know it exists because of its effects. Though electricity isn’t completely understood we use it and have become dependent on it for some of our basic needs like heat and light. Thought too can be harnessed by the mind for the effects it produces. Scientists know how to harness electricity to create heat and light but few ever learn how to harness the power of thought to create health, wealth and happiness. We are all aware of the desire for every human being to be healthy, wealthy and happy but there is no subject in the school curriculum that teaches us how to achieve these things. Can any of you remember your very first thought? Do you even remember the first thought you have on waking? Yet we spend most of our lives immersed in thought. The only times we are not thinking are times when we are driving and arrive at our destination unable to remember the journey, or when we are dozing or sleeping. Are you thinking when you are watching TV or a movie or is your mind doing something else? Surely you must remember a time during a boring lesson or meeting when you were jolted back to the present when someone called your name? Have you ever had the experience of being stuck on the same page in a book because every time you read the paragraph you can’t remember what you read?

What if thought is an energy at our disposal? What if it could be moulded to create anything we wanted in our lives but this came with a condition? In order to create something we had to deliberately choose to make it a habit to dwell on thoughts about the thing we wanted. What if it was as simple as dwelling upon a thought form in order to create what we wanted? How then could a child who thinks he is stupid ever be clever? How then could a man be poor if he dwells upon thoughts of how to create wealth? How could a woman be loved if she harbours thoughts of how unlovable she is? Thoughts are like radio waves all around us and we tune into certain frequencies depending on how we feel. The happier we feel the higher the thought forms we attract and so we simply feed ourselves more happiness. The more miserable we feel the more we attract thoughts of misery and by feeding our minds with more of the same we feel worse. It is our choice of thought initially that starts the cycle so wouldn’t it make sense to choose the thoughts to dwell upon in order to create the feelings we desire? The chair you are sitting on started off as a thought in someones head. That person must have spoken about the idea and eventually enough energy was invested in the idea to give it momentum and it is now physically manifested under you. It is not magic, it is a process and once you understand the process you can use it to create not just the feelings you desire but even the material things you want.

It is not enough to consciously think about something in order to create it. If it was that simple then everybody would be doing it and the world would be Paradise. Effort is required and the effort involved is what stands in the way of every human being receiving everything they desire. It takes effort to change the habits and patterns of lifetimes. It takes effort to change and even though you might find yourself slipping back into your old negative thoughts you have free will and you can choose whatever you want to think about. It doesn’t matter whether or not you believe it will work just choose your thoughts and investigate the possibility with an open mind. what do you have to lose? If you are poor and struggling financially choose to imagine what it would feel like to be rich. Unless you replace your thoughts of poverty with thoughts of wealth how else are you going to change your reality? Well, you could entertain the idea that you could become rich and start imagining all the ways that this could happen. You could start reading about the lives of people who rose out of the ashes to become rich and famous. You could use your powerful imagination to shift your limiting beliefs and you could change your internal dialogue to hear yourself saying…”Everyday in every way I am becoming happier and happier, I am starting to love and accept myself more and more with each passing day.” Eventually the walls of Jericho did fall and so too the walls of your negative world will crumble and you will rebuild for yourself a stronger brighter, healthier, wealthier, world. Give it a go…what have you got to lose! Thank you Dad, and thank you James Allen.
