Coast To Coast Am - January 23 2014 - Conjuring Happiness / Quantum Thinking
In the first half, writer and spiritual teacher Maureen St. Germain
discussed how we are equipped to achieve success, love, and happiness,
and be our own "genie." The genie represents knowledge or skills that we
don't have, and in the Arabian stories, once the genie is out of the
bottle, bad things could happen. This negative aspect was used to keep
people from attaining knowledge or power on their own, but once that
info is out, it can't go back in the bottle, she commented. The first
step of being your own genie is to hold your desired outcome in your
thoughts as being equally believable with your current life situation,
she maintains.
One helpful exercise she referred to as a "twofer," in which every time
you have a negative thought, you think of two positive thoughts-- this
has an effect kind of like noise canceling headphones. Another approach
is to give yourself permission to simultaneously hold two different
versions of reality, one of which may have difficulties, and another
that is an idealized or infused with a positive outcome. St. Germain
also talked about a method to manifest goals, in which the person
imagines how they would feel when they have already achieved the goal,
rather than focusing on the goal itself.
In the latter half, consultant to business executives and entrepreneurs, Dianne Collins,
shared how she specializes in using science and spirituality to help
individuals break free from limiting ideas and take control of their
minds and their lives using what she calls "quantum thinking."
Everything begins with thought, and thoughts contribute to our reality,
but most people are still under the scientific materialism world view
that only matter is real, she noted. Many are unaware that there are
five natural faculties of mind, including the Power of Observation
(intent), the Power of Non-location (intuition), and the Power of
Meditation (awareness), Collins outlines.
She differentiated quantum thinking from positive thinking, explaining
that with positive thinking people are often covering over their fixed
reality, pretending that a negative or old way of thought is not there.
But with quantum thinking, you realize there is no fixed way or absolute
reality, and you can take control of how you want to perceive your
situation or "resonant field." One exercise that illustrates this is
writing down your old world/habitual world view (your current thoughts)
and looking at the theme the emerges, she continued. In your new world
view, you can create a conscious relationship with your thoughts,
removing feelings that are holding you back, and replacing them with
more useful ideations.
