Practical Wisdom from a Self-Improvement Classic

Dear Readers,

In today's post, let it be my pleasure to share with you a wonderful book about the subconscious mind and the miracles it can create in our lives. "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" (by Joseph Murphy, link to the free PDF) discusses not only the infinite capabilities of the subconscious to bring our desires to fruition, but it also shares stories of people who have successfully tapped into this power to heal themselves and others, enrich their lives with prosperity, harmoniously relationships, and much more.

The author also shares numerous techniques about how to tap into this storehouse of power that is within each and every one of us. He focuses especially on the use of "scientific prayer", and goes into explaining why, if performed successfully, this method will always bring results. 

Remember, we only use at most 10% of our brains consciously. Utilizing the subconscious mind's power is vital to producing infinite goodness, abundance, and joy in our lives.

Undoubtedly, you can apply the principles in this book to bringing about the physical change you seek. Giving thanks, praying, and affirming its presence will, in due time, bring about the change to reality.

One of my favorite techniques from this book is the author's suggestion to simply repeat the word of what you want and let it sink deep into your subconscious mind. This method proves to be of utmost help if you are having trouble believing in traditional affirmations. For example, if you desire to grow taller, simply say to yourself "great height" or "tall". Repeating to yourself only one or two words, rather than a phrase like "I am very tall", is extremely productive in producing the feeling of having your ideal height. When you repeat a single word or two, you fill your mind with images of that word and they are accepted by your subconscious mind without any conflict. Thus, you don't have to already possess unwavering belief for the image to be accepted! This is great news for those of you who are just learning more about changing physical appearance through your mind, or those who prefer guiding their physical change with simplicity and relaxation. You can easily do this in the few minutes before going to sleep, as well as throughout the day when you feel yourself in an especially receptive state.

Apart from this wonderful text, with joy I will now tell you about new addition to every post. From now on, at the end of each post on Becoming Beautiful, there will be a short description and link to a "Miracle Story". Here you will learn about someone who successfully altered their physical appearance through non-physical means, or whose physical being possess certain characteristics that defies what most people would consider "possible" or "natural". It is truly my joy to share these awe- and faith-inspiring stories with you.

Miracle Story : She always dreamt of being a man, and then her dream came true!

Allow me to present the story of Thin Sandar, a young woman from Myanmar who experienced a spontaneous sex change overnight. After years of praying to Buddha about her desire to be born a man in her next life, she woke up one morning to discover that her sex organs had changed. You can read more about Thin Sandar's miracle here.


Sending you all inspiration and faith,

Becoming Beautiful

Back from a hiatus!

Dear Readers,

Though there haven't been any new posts since last month, I am now back and enthusiastic to provide you with new information and keep you updated on my own progress.

I will admit that my consistence during the past few weeks hasn't been the best, and I haven't been visualizing as frequently and as consistently as I did in the beginning. Nevertheless, it pleases me to say that I have made mental progress - the reality of my facial bones changing form has grown stronger in my consciousness and these beliefs are being reinforced every day. My image of the look I would like to possess has grown much clearer and more definite. My method has evolved, and in this post, you will read how.

One text that has influenced me a lot is "It Works" R.H. Jarrett. This small book was written in the 1920s and gives very concise instructions about how to attain anything you wish. You can find a free online copy here.

1. Make a list as mentioned in "It Works". Become very specific about what you want, make a clear list and look at it three times a day - morning, daytime, and night. When you read this list, your subconscious mind takes hold of these desires and works to bring them to physical reality. Whenever I read my list, I try to feel grateful and happy about each item, as if I possess/experience all of them. With this list, it's helped me to list smaller (but urgent) goals towards the top of the list. I also make sure to give myself ample time to see them through. For instance, my goal for my eyes is 4mm wider on each side by 22 November 2012.
2. Visualize morning and night for 15-20 minutes. I feel a tingling sensation and light pressure in the areas of my face where my eyes are moving into position (sorry if that came out oddly in this language!) Visualizations in the day have also been helpful for me when I feel especially motivated. I like to think of it this way : some days, I may feel more motivated or have more time to put towards the accomplishment of my physical change goals. So on those days I take advantage of my mental state and visualize for longer periods and with more intensity than usual. Those days balance out the times when my focus wanders.
3. When I visualize, I sometimes use the recordings of Zixia or Victoria Wizell (search "Victoria Wizell grow taller" on Google.) Though they are specified towards growing taller, I apply them to changing my facial bone structure, particularly the shape and size of my eye sockets and nasal bridge. I have found that listening to these hypnosis recordings help me stay focused and often put me in a hypnotic trance quicker.
4. Keep track of your progress with a calendar. I write the days I have visualized (ideally every day!) on a calendar. This way I can see how much I've put into my goal and can see when and if I get off track, such as last month. Seeing my effort on paper really solidifies how much I want this and how I must discipline myself I am going to get there.

When a doubtful thought comes to mind, it is much, much easier and more natural for me to switch it into a positive one. For instance, when I feel down about my current appearance and think how unhappy I feel looking this way, I quickly remind myself that my new face - with its beauty and balanced proportions - is on its way! I tell myself that I should be thankful and happy that it is happening, that progress and physical growth is occurring every day, and that with each time I visualize, my dream is within closer reach. I remind myself that I have put the effort into learning about the mind, visualizing, and becoming very clear about my desires. It's natural to become impatient when you are waiting for something, but it is good to know that it is still coming, and that it's only been two months.

I also remind myself of the other things I have accomplished in my life, especially those that would have been deemed as "impossible" by the majority of people.

Believe in yourself - don't ever let anyone else tell you what you can and cannot do.

Best wishes to all,

~BB
