Success Story...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you heard of Wayne Dyer's Aaaah meditation?

It's featured on an audiotape of his called "Meditations for
Manifesting."

There are two meditations on that recording. One of them is for
manifesting things into your life. The metaphor Wayne uses is that life is just
like a dream.

In other words...
In a dream, if you want something across the room to come closer to
you, you merely INTEND for it to come closer to you. (Your PERCEPTION may be
that YOU move toward IT, but in fact the dream is surrounding you and is an
expression of your consciousness. Nothing REALLY moves, other than your
attention.)

Life similarly brings into your perception those things that you
desire. BUT (this is important) you have to intend it.

The question is: How?

Dyer's suggestion is a specific technique he learned from his
teacher, Guruji (later called Sri Siva). It's a STARTLINGLY simple technique that I
will share with you in a moment.

I heard about this process some years ago, and never did much with
it. After all, I found The Silva Method so good for intending outcomes. I had
done the Wayne Dyer Aaaah meditation a couple of times and found it soothing,
but never really used it much beyond those couple of times.

Then I went to a talk that Gary Zukav (author "The Seat of the Soul"
and "The Dancing Wu Li Masters") was giving in Miami. The place was PACKED
with people.

Before the talk began, the young woman sitting next to me turned and
told me that she recognized me from a Silva Method meeting in Ft. Lauderdale.

Always eager to hear Silva Success stories, I asked, "So how has it
been using The Silva Method? What gains have you noticed?"

Often when I ask, I hear things like: I got a new job, My health is
better, I got married, I won a contest, I have a new car, etc.

But she was nonchalant. "Oh, it's good. But what I have REALLY gotten
results with is the Wayne Dyer 'Meditations for Manifesting'!"

She said that the results have alarmed her, because she found that
she had to be VERY careful what she intended, since results have happened
exactly as intended, in astonishing ways. (I made a mental note to re-visit
the Aaah meditation!)

Not long after, a friend of mine quit his well-paying lawyer job over
an ethical dispute with co-workers. He just walked out.

BUT he had car payments, rent, a new marriage, and other expenses. He
was nervous. So I asked him what he wanted, what he was aiming for. He
specified a job with an income he wanted, by a certain date that was just eight
weeks away.

I knew that his strategy for being nervous (and staying nervous) was
to have upsetting internal dialogue. He was, like most lawyers I know,
extremely aware of (and guided by) his internal dialogue.

So I suggested he listen to the Wayne Dyer tape. I figured that at
LEAST this would help loosen that nervousness strategy by replacing his anxious
internal dialogue with something better. In this case, the sound of the aaaah
meditation. It worked better than that.

His intention was to have a new job within 8 weeks. He STARTED work
at the new job -- for the pay he wanted -- in 7 weeks and six days. Toward
the end of the timeframe he'd set -- eight weeks -- people just phoned
him "out of the blue." These conversations led to job offers, then a job he took.
He did send resumes, but the job offer came from someone who "happened" to
talk to him and find out he was available for hire.

According to Wayne Dyer's teacher, Sri Siva, when you do this
process, there is no lag time. Results happen immediately. (I have had some
experiences so far that tell me this might be true, but definitely test this
personally.) In my friend's case, he was INTENDING an eight-week process, and it
happened in just under eight weeks. Had he intended an immediate job offer, would
it have happened sooner?

If everything-that-is is swirling atomic activity, then it COULD BE
that the Aaaah meditation puts you in oneness with the source of the atomic
activity. (This is only a metaphor, and not nearly as important as you
generating joyful results for yourself and others whom you care about.)

Wayne's rationale -- that he learned from his teacher -- is that the
Aaaah sound is a sound that appears within various names of God, and that
this sound alters one's circumstance by identifying your consciousness
with the Creator. The mind is quieted by the meditation and you go, he
says, 'Beyond the mind' to the source of creation.

Side two of the tape (track two of the cd) is about a FEELING of
gratitude with an OM meditation. Identify with the Source of Divine Creation
on side one/track one, and then feel gratitude to the Source of Divine
Creation on track two/side two.

It really is a beautiful pair of meditations. Wayne also includes
some helpful affirmations as you do the meditations on the tape with him.

===============================================

Do-it-yourself Experiment: Sri Siva's Manifesting process
-----> How to do it:

1. Think of something you really want to have happen. New job,
divinely satisfying love life, superb health, more clients, etc. (If you
say, "Well, I want to get a happier, better paying job AND go on a date with
Britney Spears AND win the decathlon in the next Olympics" then I would ask you to
prioritize your list, and work on the chief desire first. Pick something that
you believe COULD happen soon.)

2. You imagine a column starting at your root chakra (approximately
the spot between your anus and genitals -- the point where your body is
touching a seat cushion when you are sitting) and at the other end of this
imagined column is your 3rd eye chakra, between and slightly above your
eyes.

Imagine this column in the center of your body from the root chakra
up to the 3rd eye.

3. Close your eyes and say the sound "Aaaaaaaaah" out loud while
imagining the sound traveling upward from the root chakra to the 3rd eye
chakra. It may seem funny or weird, but extend the length of the sound Aaaaah
for as long as comfortable. As you do this, turn your eyeballs upward
slightly and imagine the intended goal in your mind's eye, picturing the goal like
a movie, as if projected in front of you onto an imagined movie screen
from your third eye chakra. (As if your 3rd eye chakra were a film
projector.)

Note: There may (or may not) be a sense of "debris" in this column,
like some kind of dust floating around inside this column. If you get this
sense (and you may not), then let the sound clear this channel for you. I
imagine a sound speaker, as if the root chakra was a small but powerful Bose
sound speaker aimed upward, playing the Aaaaah sound up toward the 3rd eye
chakra.

My recommendation is to do this once a day for two weeks merely as an
experiment, and see for yourself if this is useful. You could do
this for 15 to 20 minutes (with a timer), or say Aaaah 108 times with a mala (a
string of 108 beads for counting), or just do the sound until you feel like
you've done enough for each day. Better yet, get the cd or audiotape of Wayne
Dyer's "Meditations for Manifesting" and really give that a listen!

Obviously, if there is any physical, mental or emotional reason not
to do any sort of self-development process such as this, then consult your
professional first.
