What about Visualizations and Affirmations?
Napoleon Hill stated, “anything the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve“
Visualizations
The expression, what we focus on expands, is applicable here. There are many books on visualization (The Secret, The Science of Getting Rich, etc) and many speakers who extol the virtues of visualizing what you want. These techniques work but it seems, not for everyone. If you have utilized these techniques and they have not been successful, it is probably because your belief system is telling you the opposite, of you think you are visualizing, without you knowing it (go to the action step and do that process). When, with NET, we muscle test a statement, what we are asking is whether the conscious mind (what you think), is congruent with the unconscious mind (what you believe). Is the test is positive, there is nothing to work on. If the test is negative, then we must get the conscious and the unconscious to work together. Think of trying to plow a field with two horses that are not harnessed together. Each will go their own separate way and you will get a furrow, but it won’t be straight or productive. You may get a result, but it probably won’t be the one you want.
Affirmations
The same applies to affirmations. If you use affirmations and are still not creating what you affirm, then each time you use the affirmation, you are really focusing on the negative beliefs behind the affirmation and expanding that energy instead of the positive you seek. Now I don’t say that using an affirmation is bad, if it works for you, then obviously it is good, but if you are not neutralizing the negative, you won’t get what you want, or at least not as quickly as you would like. By neutralizing the negative beliefs, I feel, that you won’t even have to affirm what you want in order to create it, you just have to keep working on neutralizing the negative beliefs.
