Creating A Miracle Mindset

Feature Article

Are you capable of creating miracles in your life? Like most people, you probably shy away from such an idea, believing that such things belong only in the realm of fairytales and the lives of Saints. Nevertheless, you can create extraordinary events; all it takes is real belief in yourself.

First of all, realize that the events we call miracles are really not so extraordinary. Miracles surround us in every moment. Your heart keeps beating. The Earth circles around the sun. Children grow and flowers bloom. All of these things are miraculous in their own way, and yet everything about them is perfectly natural. In the same way, everything in your life is in some sense miraculous.

If you think that you need a miracle in your life, then perhaps it is time to realize that you are a miracle maker. Of all the marvelous creatures on Earth, humans especially possess amazing creative ability. Just think of all the "miracles" that people have made: space craft to the moon; alternate worlds of fictional reality; epidemic-busting medicines; poems that speak to readers centuries after their inception.

Actually, your ability to make miracles is your birthright as a human being. However, you will never be able to fully realize your miracle-making abilities unless you first believe in yourself. You have the power to transform any relationship or situation in your life, and to accomplish just about anything you can imagine.

To create a miracle in your life, know that big miracles usually come about through a lot of smaller ones. As the old proverb says, "Rome wasn't built in a day." Likewise, anything you want to create in your life will likely only happen through a lot of persistence, focus, and action.

Begin your quest for a miracle by visualizing the whole process by which it comes into being. A flower does not spring out of nowhere; it evolves from seed to sprout to bud to blossom. A divine plan sets the process in motion. Likewise you must break your vision down into simple, manageable steps and create your own divine plan to achieve it. Then take tangible actions towards each step and before you know it, you have a miracle!

Always remember that the real miracle manifests inside you. The magic ingredient is not pixie dust, but courage and determination. All too often, people shrink back at the first sign of difficulty, leaving their miracle mindset on the roadside. When you are willing to keep moving forward, regardless of whatever obstacles come your way, only then will you become a true maker of miracles.

The Gift of Action

Ilchi Inspiration

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory." Like Emerson, I too believe in the incredible power of action. Through action, we not only change people's minds, we change the world.

Many spiritually inclined people mistake tolerance for inaction. Learning to peacefully accept the conditions we face does not mean we cannot or should not change them. If you want a better life, then take some action to create it.

Action is the ultimate reflection of our brain's content. If we think positively and believe in miracles, our brain is wired for actions that support those beliefs. If we find ourselves always criticizing, judging or expecting the worst in life, then our actions will reflect fear and negativity.

On my journey, I have met many like-mided people. They wonder how I have managed to create so much. My secret is simple:  I act, I don't hesitate. When something feels right, I do it. No action, no creation. It is a lot less risky to dream than to act. But if we don't take decided action to create what we dream, we will never have our dream.

Ironically, the most important time to act is when it is most difficult to do so. Often, when we try to act upon our dreams, we find that the world is not receptive. We face opposition, criticism, rejection, and downright failure. Sometimes, we scare ourselves away from taking action, afraid of the consequences. In the end, it is far better to have attempted and failed, then to have made no attempt at all.

Clear Your Mind with Brain Wave Vibration

Editor's Pick

How can you do what truly makes you happy if you think, "I can't do it," or "I want this, but no one else has ever done it?" Negative information, ingrained habits, and a limiting self-identity all conspire to paralyze your brain and inhibit action.

To remove these blocks to creating a miracle mindset and taking action for your goals, try practicing Brain Wave Vibration. In Brain Wave Vibration: Getting Back into the Rhythm of a Happy, Healthy Life, Ilchi Lee writes, "Brain Wave Vibration is meant to help you stop processing information, almost like a temporary information fast, so that you can begin to take control of your information consumption. [...] When you are doing Brain Wave Vibration, imagine that you are shaking all of this kind of limiting information out of your brain."

Music especially has the power to affect your mindset and your mood. It defies the limits of culture and language. Brain Wave Vibration is often practiced to drumming music that can settle your brain waves and help you go deeper into your movement.

You can learn more about the technique from Brain Wave Vibration. Then practice it with the music CDs, Music for Brain Wave Vibration and The Music of the Brain Art Festival 2009. Both CDs feature traditional Korean drumming and flute music to help you get into the rhythm.

The Music of the Brain Art Festival 2009 CD also has a training track with the sound of the blood flow through Ilchi Lee's brain during deep meditation. This soothing sound may help your brain achieve a more meditative state. Other songs have uplifting messages that will help empower you to manifest your miracles.
