Why Vision Boards Fail? Avoid 7 Common Mistakes That Others Make!
You have been inspired at the idea of creating vision boards after watching the movie, The Secret.
In fact, you may have Already created one by now.
You have spent an entire afternoon looking, cutting and pasting the pictures onto your board. They are pictures that represent what you want in a desired lifestyle. In a riot of colours, star stickers and glitter, it’s like a work of art – your masterpiece vision board.
Yet, since then……you have not managed to manifest any of your desires…..and you are beginning to doubt the idea about creating vision boards in the first place.

On Charlie’s vision board, he had the following pictures: the dream car, the beautiful house by the beach, the lovely designer bags, the holiday in The Caribbean and a gorgeous looking person (who looks some famous Hollywood star) as a partner. After two hours or so during a weekend afternoon, he had completed his board. At first, Charlie felt happy that he had done his part.
“My vision board is the window to my dream life coming true.”

Creation, Intention, Consciousness
Nature provides us with several wise insights about creation, if we only bother to stop and contemplate. The problem is that we have become so busy in our individual lives that we have failed to interact with nature.
(Water Lily Lake)
We overlook or disregard how connected we are as One not just amongst the human species but including all of nature (the realm of various types of living plants and animals). We take little care about our environment even while it provides resources that sustain us.

I’ve got a question for you today: Do you live your life according to HAVE-DO-BE or BE-DO-HAVE?
“Huh…what???” you may reply. I can almost imagine you looking baffled at this point.
Well, let me explain.
Most of us are living our lives according to HAVE-DO-BE. It’s not a great way to live, I’m afraid. We are, in actual fact, getting things reversed.

According to the Law of Attraction, a powerful intent made up of clear, pure and focused thoughts will start to attract the very essence of your desires. Hence, the clearer, more specific and untainted you are in your thoughts, the more likely you can be in bringing them into physical reality. However, what happens if you do not have a clear idea of what you really want yet? Or what happens if it is a question of readiness?

Be Careful What You Wish For or You Just May Get it so the saying goes!
Seated quietly in a romantic corner of a dimly lit restaurant was a married couple in their 60s. They brought their glasses of champagne together in a toast. There was every reason to celebrate. It was their 30th wedding anniversary that day.
In a whiff of smoke, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared before them, hovering over the table. She said, “For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.”

7 Everyday Actions That Reflect Your Lack-laden Thoughts
(Photo Credit: Derricksphotos on Flickr)
In metaphysical terms, if you focus on thoughts of lack and worry, then outcomes that vibrate with scarcity will be what you are likely to attract. Want to lead an abundant life? Then, you need to move away from such thoughts and towards cultivating wealth consciousness. Again, you may find that this easier said than done. After all, many of your thoughts have been pretty much inculcated since young; they lie inside your subconscious mind and you have no real awareness of what these are.
However, since thoughts translate to actions, you can look to your actions as a guide to what you are really thinking. I’ve identified 7 examples of everyday actions that you need to put a stop to:
Healing Cancer With The Silva Method
It was meant to be a time of connecting with old friends during Chinese New Year but nothing quite prepare me yesterday for the sight of a friend whom I have not seen in about two years. Kay was actually an ex-colleague of my husband. Previously in remission, his cancer is now in full force again.
He looked gaunt and did not bother to get up from the bed in his bedroom. Definitely not the person I remembered him to be – a pretty big guy with a slight tummy. He spotted a bald top yesterday; his hair must have fallen with all the chemotherapy that he was going through.
I have not known him well and was admittedly at a loss of words, because I had not expected to see him in this state. We were visiting a relative who stays in his neighbourhood and although it was not planned, we had decided to drop by Kay’s home.
Kay was finding the pain on his nerves unbearable and had to take morphine every 4 hours. I could see that he was in mental torture as the pain was intense moment to moment while we were there.
My husband tried to distract him from his pain with stories from work. (We have learnt previously that when we visit someone who is sick, it is far better to tell jokes or entertaining stories. The last you want is for your sick friend or relative to be focusing on his suffering when you ask him one too many question about how he is feeling. In answering you, it is likely he will be talking about his depression or how sick he is. But what you want for him is not to be thinking negative thoughts or to exude negative vibrations. )
Although I have hardly spoken to Kay previously, as he was more like an acquaintance, I decided to help him from afar. There was no opportunity to tell him yesterday about self healing as he was in too much pain to be interested in anything new.
So before I went to bed last night, I recalled what I knew about healing using the Silva Method. One of the techniques taught was how to perform healing for anyone in pain, whether physically or mentally. The technique involved a mental screen procedure.
In the alpha meditative state, I brought an image of Kay into my mind. I acknowledged that he was in great pain and proceeded to send him an energy of love throughout his body. For his pain, I “massaged” his lower back and spine. I did this for a long time. In the final screen, I visualized Kay as his old self, with his tummy back, smiling and free from pain. The organs in his body are whole and perfect.
Whether healing can happen or not will also depend on Kay’s desire and determination to fight his cancer. Nevertheless , I will do what I can by continuing to send him positive energy everyday. Hopefully, he can be free of his pain and suffering soon.
My guess is that all his previously well thought-out plans for his career are no longer as important to him as the battle that he has now. I’ve been thoughtful ever since visiting him yesterday. To be in good health is also to be in abundance. Let’s not forget that by taking it for granted!
