Surprised?<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s true that when you focus on what you want you are programming the universal mind to create your intention.<\/p>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s first look at the meaning of prosperity. Which is what most classes are about &ndash; Prosperity Training. But we could just as easily used words such as rich, abundant or wealthy.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few definitions for the word prosperity that I found online:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>successful in material terms; flourishing financially<\/li>\n<li>having or characterized by financial success or good fortune; flourishing; successful<\/li>\n<li>having success usually by making a lot of money<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, if you focus on prosperity or being prosperous you would think by these definitions you would indeed make more money.<\/p>\n<p>But here is what I was told in my meditation.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s the wording of the intention that needs clarification to truly get what you desire.<\/p>\n<p>The universe creates by gathering definitions not necessarily from your belief but from the collective consciousness of a belief. (Collective consciousness is the set of shared beliefs, ideas and moral attitudes which operate as a unifying force within society.)<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that if you earn $15,000 a year you are in the top 7.91% in terms of income for the world population? $20,000 brings you into the top 3.56%. (calculated on: globalrichlist.com).<\/p>\n<p>This may not seem like that much money where you are from but globally this level of income is truly prosperous!<\/p>\n<p>So how can the universe create prosperity for you if by the collective consciousness of prosperity you are already there?<br>\nA much more effective way to increase your income is to focus on, to create a mantra for, to meditate on exactly what you want.<\/p>\n<p>Prosperity is not a specific goal &ndash; start with a specific goal such as doubling your income.<\/p>\n<p>Some concrete examples would be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&ldquo;I am ready to double my income&rdquo;<\/li>\n<li>&ldquo;I am open to know how to double my income&rdquo;<\/li>\n<li>&ldquo;I am taking the steps to double my income.&rdquo;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Notice the way the examples are phrased.<\/p>\n<p>Many affirmation techniques advice to make you statement as a completed event.<\/p>\n<p>Such as &ldquo;I am rich and prosperous&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>The belief is that the universe will come into alignment with you statement.<\/p>\n<p>However, unless you fully believe your statement you will not be able to put required energy behind it.<\/p>\n<p>Your body will rebel against a statement it does not believe.<\/p>\n<p>That is why my examples above make the affirmation a process.<\/p>\n<p>Your body can accept a process and will put the required energy behind the affirmation.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment below.<\/p>\n<p>Feel blocked in your approach to success?
