Have you ever taken time to assess the last things you think about or the last thing you look at before you fall asleep? Busy fashionistas most likely think of urgent checklists for the following day while another group of us go through a separate mental checklist of things that somehow got away from us because 24 hours just doesn't seem like enough! We struggle to juggle a thousand mental images in our minds, unconsciously moving our unfinished business to another, dare I say it, yes, another checklist. It turns out that these few precious moments just before falling into that needed restful sleep are usually the moments that make a difference in accelerating or delaying the very circumstances you want to manifest in your life.
In recent posts, we've visited the meanings as well as the metaphysical principles that accompany specific colors. If you have taken time to independently study about natural crystals and stones, perhaps you have already discovered changes in your own energy. You can accelerate your progress by feeding your subconscious mind the very thing you want prior to falling asleep. Metaphysically, your mind is divided into three active parts: the subconscious, the conscious and the super-conscious mind. It is important to know about each individual mind-part in order to bring forth maximum results.
Florence Scovel Shinn, an accomplished artist and metaphysical writer in the 1920's-1940's, describes the meaning of the three active mind-parts in her book "The Wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn." The subconscious mind is described as follows: "The subconscious, is simply power, without direction...Whatever man feels deeply or images clearly, is impressed upon the subconscious mind and carried out in minutest detail." Feed the subconscious mind repeatedly with specific images and circumstances, and the seeker holds the power to create.
The conscious mind is what we physically see in our present reality, including all of those unwanted thoughts or events we run through our minds before going to sleep. The events and circumstances we choose to see consciously holds energy. Staying alert as to where your mind gravitates to, will give you significant insight as to how you are working with your available energy even as you fall asleep.
Florence Scovel Shinn describes the super-conscious mind as, "...the God Mind within each man and the realm of perfect ideas." This acts as a link to the higher self energy field. When practicing, it normally appears as a vision flash in the mind and may carry a feeling of impossibility. However, when the seeker decides to allow these visions to enter their energy practice, it acts as a strong indicator of what the seeker is capable of achieving. So, fashionistas facing dreams that seem a bit impossible in the present moment or for those fashionistas-in-transition facing challenges that seem insurmountable, meditate on your chosen color and its principles and then go to sleep thinking that what you want to manifest has already been created. Impregnate your subconscious with what you want and let it do the work, allowing your super-conscious mind to naturally show you the greatness of what is in store for you. Remember, you will most likely see "flashes" or "rapid mental scenes" of you in your desired state. In your waking hours, allow your subconscious to carve out the right footsteps and path to lead you where you want to be. In the midst of developing the next collection, I went out for some fresh air this afternoon and stopped to buy a few groceries. The cashier had a tattoo on his arm. As he turned his arm for me to read, part of the inscription said, "Dream as if you are going to live forever."
Feed your subconscious with the energy you want. Take a look at Heinrich Rudolf Hertz's electromagnetic theory. If you have seen Google's homepage in recent days, the curved lines celebrate Hertz's 155th birthday. Hertz, a German physicist, who happens to have been born in Hamburg, Germany where my great grandparents were from, researched and expanded electromagnetic theory of light as well as the existence of electromagnetic waves. Use the "unit of frequency," which was named the "hertz" in his honor, as a scientific way of viewing the energy you feed your subconscious mind. The mental images you choose to create before falling asleep also acts as units of frequency seeping into your subconscious. Connect Florence Scovel Shinn's words about the subconscious mind as power without direction to this idea. Avoid going over unwanted events prior to falling asleep. Remember, if you continue to repeat this pattern, you are choosing to delay what you truly want from manifesting in your life.
Keep a journal as you venture on this journey of changing your circumstances through color and subconscious energy. The journal acts as a "proof book" and will serve as an uplifting tool on the days you feel this concept is not working fast enough. (Keep in mind, anxiety is a negative energy that creates delay.) For instance, if you use pink to attract a new love interest, write down what happens when you wear your favorite shade. For example, if you wore pink today and you received more glances, winks and smiles, this is proof sent to you by the universe that your auric field is changing and that your new love interest is closer than you think. If you have chosen purple, red or gold to attract new clients or business prospects and the phone has started ringing a little more than usual or money photos keep appearing throughout the day, your prosperity energy is shifting. Use the time before you go to sleep as your manifestation session. Take a moment to breathe out negative thoughts and breathe in the goodness that awaits you. Look at your chosen attraction color and as you fall asleep see yourself in your ideal circumstance, taking you one step closer to what you want.
This grand world of ours is filled with different cultures and traditions, but the one common thread that links all of us together has to do with time. Time is precious and it should not be taken for granted. Do not allow your life to become a constant chase of an event or circumstance because then living will manifest itself as a series of exhausting chases never leading you to what you want. Create your life and allow your subconscious to unfold the steps naturally and as each right step appears, be fully conscious and grateful in the moment, with a complete knowing that your super-conscious mind is giving you what you want and deserve, manifesting itself before you to complete fruition. Create a powerful week everyone!
