Welcome to The Master Mind Power Blog. This blog is designed for my Master Mind Group that connects to my Expert Network located at http://www.selfgrowth.com/experts/elizabeth_bohorquez.html This group currently has over 1200 members & grows every day. Members of the group include educators, physicians, healing practitioners, psychologists, nurses, mental health professionals, business creators, spiritual leaders & others from all walks of life. The purpose of Master Mind Power Blog is to share ideas about utilizing this powerful mechanism. If you are not a member of the Expert Network, you are welcomed to enjoy the blog & complimentary mp3 programs, but I do encourage you to visit www.self-growth.com & to become a member.

Today I'd like to address prosperity & ways to open the mind to receive, as well as to give. The mp3 program is about working with one's own Master Mind. The link is below.


And so, here are some areas for self-awareness...

I've never met anyone who didn't want to prosper & while they might not verbalize it as such, it will be there if one knows how & where to look. However, it's not uncommon to think small & to negate receiving, especially if one has a low self-worth & self-image. If one grew up in a home where there was a combination of abusive, addiction & lack, then chances are that individual will have less thoughts of prosperity. Those are homes where the child merely looked to survive.

If you were to visit such experiences, you might sense a prosperous feeling when the abuse stops for a period of time. These are recorded as pure joy & reason for celebration. Another example is when the child or even an adult, in such a family of origin is given a very small token or gift resulting in an out-pouring of gratitude. Sometimes the gift may be intangible, such as a smile or kind joke ..... a semblance of normality.

Most of us have no problem giving, but there are many who find it difficult to receive. Even giving to oneself can be painful. Again, this is attached to low self-worth. It can also be connected to co-dependent living. In the practice of interactive self-hypnosis, we can change these patterns, even if they are very deeply mind-etched from childhood. It's important to remember that old & deeply etched patterns continue to play out no matter how old or even mature the individual may appear.


There is, indeed, a secret inner life within all of us. We may not present this Self to the outside world, but it is there & it is always active. We all live behind masks, but in our privacy we can come to know what truly is real for us, if we are willing to look. Of course, looking is painful, but as we learn to separate or disassociate from our painful looking, then we have a chance at changing these patterns, even those deeply etched. This is why it is so important to stay awake, aware, head out of the sand, ready to forgive the Self, have compassion for the Self & be ready, willing & able to work with specialized mind & body tools for inner change.

As writers or therapists, getting to see beyond our own masks, makes us better at our craft. It is certainly more difficult, if not impossible, to get truly inside a character or an individual we would like to help, if indeed we haven't done our own awareness work. For me, that is why writing is so therapeutic. Of course, when I work directly with patients, it is absolutely necessary for me to open my own subconscious mind, if I am to help any of my patients open theirs.

Some readers of this blog have asked me for specific examples of how to do this type of self-introspection. I am certainly happy to do so, as space allows. The two most important tools are something I call interactive heightened awareness & interactive self-hypnosis . We can also deem this active imagery or imaginology. Let's go ahead & apply these two keys to the subject of prosperity.

In the practice of interactive self-hypnosis, it is important to relax the mind & the body. This is very different from sitting in front of the TV or playing solitare on your computer. We want to purposefully slow the brain waves to the alpha level. If you have practiced meditation or yoga, you may have experienced this level of brain wave activity. Once you have trained your mind & body, you can actually change brain wave speed in 1/200th of a second. This is often practiced by athletes or others in competitive play or performance. Obviously, if one is having performance anxiety, it's usually not the moment to go into a deep meditative or self-hypnotic trance.

Once the brain waves are slowed, then the door to the subconscious mind is open & available. Since we are working with prosperity, we will want to design some active imagery for this purpose. I like to develop my mind stage-sets around powerful affirmations. They form the frame-work for the stage-sets. Here is a clip from a CD/mp3 program I designed to enhance prosperity. Keep in mind that the participant is deeply relaxed & already into the subconscious mind library. As the individual participates, the new images are being etched or installed into the subconscious mind.

.....in the clearing we will find the right path leading to the Crystal Cathedral....as we go up the few steps leading to the Cathedral, focus on the rainbows embedded in the crystal blocks....these are rainbows of prosperity....choose one of the blocks & press the palm of your hand against it....real hard now like you are taking a hand print....now find the little pot of gold...remove it gently & notice you can take the coins out, one by one....they are beautifully engraved. I'm giving you a magnifying glass so you can read the inscriptions & as you do, these will enter your own mind library for they are now yours...

I am now seeing new ways of living & new methods of working....I am not confined to the ways & methods of the past...prosperity touches all parts of my life & in ways never experienced before. Titly your eys up just about 20 degrees & locate the screning cloud over there....the cloud opens & you can see yourself in this beautiful new production.....observe your new ways or living.....& now, locate the cloud ladder & climb up....enter the stage & engage yourself in the cloud activity.

We can have anything we can mentally accept, but first we must be able to mentally accept it. Working with interactive self-hypnosis not only gives us this opportunity, but it also allows the subconscious mind to connect to any & all old mind etching that may not have been supporting prosperity & re-program those. Remember that the subconscious mind will take the most recent mind program & super-impose that over any old programs.

FROM THE AUTHOR

Many of us are familiar with the Master Mind, but others are not. We can work with this powerful image in several ways. One way is through our Power Networking. Another way & one I would suggest for everyone, is to work with your very own Inner Master Mind. And so, I'd like to offer you a complimentary mp3 program to help you set the images. Complimentary mp3 programs are ONLY available for a week after my posting them. Of course, all programs are available on my websites, or through major bookstores online who handle mp3's. The complimentary program is a full session, but only a part of the entire program.
