The Five Keys of Manifesting Change

The Five Keys of Manifesting Change

[Click here to read about the Free Meetup Event: April 24, 2013]

Article by Rainya Dann, as published in Santa Cruz's Connections Magazine April 2013

Barbara Walters was interviewing multi–billionaire Bill Gates and asked him, “Now that you’re the richest man in the world and you can have anything you desire, what more could you possibly want?” Gates replied, “To never stop changing. Whatever I do today, will be considered history tomorrow. I have to make sure that I never stop changing, and that I am always creating.”

This time of year, when taxes and Springtime are on our minds, we naturally reflect on how to make our financial and personal lives more fruitful. I want to share with you the five key concepts I use to help my clients consciously bringing forth changes that they want.



A first key is to have a clear vision about a goal. Goals are energetic attractors. Envision yourself doing the thing you want. One famous phrase the Buddha repeated over and over again is "all that we are is the result of what we have thought."

A second powerful key is to set your intent. "Intent" comes from the Latin "intendo" which means to "stretch forward." Say, "I wish I could go to my car." Now say, "I intend to go to my car. " Notice how "intending" is more empowering than "wishing."




A third key is to become aware of your limiting beliefs and change them into beliefs of empowerment. The Oracle of Delphi said that the key to bringing forth what you want is in "knowing thyself." This includes knowing what your limitations are and what empowers you. Recently, one client of mine uncovered his limiting belief that "you have to work hard for your money" and we changed it to "money comes quickly and easily to me." I guided him through an NLP "Four Step Belief Change Process" that released his limiting, subconscious memories. After that day he attracted new, positive experiences around wealth.



A fourth key is to gain closure in all areas of your life by cleaning up past unresolved issues. You may hold issues with people, places or things that create anger, betrayal, jealousy, or other negative emotions. To let go of those emotions first acknowledge what you feel, honor it, then consciously say, "I choose to let it go."



A fifth key is to trust in the morphogenetic field of all possibilities. The word morphogenesis means "beginning of form" and implies that all living systems reside within an energetic field where synchronicity and exciting "coincidences" happen. Trust in positive possibilities!

I trust these five keys can help you be the powerful creator of your own future. You can harness the creative potential that exists within the seed of a plant or the mind of a billionaire. Whenever you catch yourself with a negative thought, just say, "DELETE." Then say, "I choose, trust and know....then visualize what you do want. You will be amazed at the new changes you attract to your life!

Awaken Awareness with Voice Dialogue Techniques

Awakening Awareness with Voice Dialogue

by Rainya Dann, Director, Institute for Transpersonal Studies

(This article appears in the February 2013 Issue of "Connections" Magazine.)

Rainya Dann is offering Voice Dialogue training on March 9-10 & 30-31 at The Institute for Transpersonal Studies (ITS) and a free Voice Dialogue Meetup event at The Pacific Cultural Center on February 27.

"Just wake up!" say the mystics throughout the ages. Traveling deep into our hearts, minds and spirits to awaken our consciousness from the daydreams, and sometimes nightmares, of living will lead to more fulfilling lives. It is in our moments of true awareness we find the presence of peace and contentment.

Over the past 30 years I've researched HOW to awaken from old feelings, beliefs and memories that seem to project unconsciously into the present. I found Voice Dialogue to be an easy and inspiring method for revealing a map of one's psyche, for understanding how our "inner selves" subconsciously limit or inspire us. Developed by Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone, Voice Dialogue techniques let you discover your own inner cast of characters, to fully realize "Who" you are. A masterful tool for clarity, it increases your capacity to exercise more conscious choices and to see yourself and others with more compassion, awareness and grace.

Voice Dialogue work explores your inner "selves" that were formed since you were a vulnerable child. Those primary selves developed to protect that child and they now form the core of your personality. Since before birth you were feeling, watching, and making decisions about the way life is, forming your core beliefs. As you grew you encountered rules and judgments in your family system, behavior-guiding experiences that caused you to "disown" some inner selves. Those "disowned selves" eventually became an energy pattern that could be judged or even punished. You might have developed inner selves such as a strong "protector," a "perfectionist," an "overachiever" or a "rebel." These are like your inner parents that are still deep in your subconscious causing you to react to situations today in ways you may not understand. For example, one part of you likes staying up late and another part of you likes getting up early. One part of you loves ice cream and another part wants to eat greens...

Voice Dialogue techniques give you the power to make more conscious choices! You realize it's okay to feel conflicted in areas of your life and to accept who you are. When you identify and embrace all parts of yourself (and conflicting needs) you can make more conscious choices rather than reacting out of habit or duty.

Voice Dialogue will give you more understanding of others, too. Anything you judge in another person is an opportunity to examine your own "disowned selves." Try this exercise:

1. Close your eyes, take a deep breath. Think of a person who annoys you.

2. What quality are you judging in them?

3. Were you allowed to have that quality as a child?

4. Your reaction to that person reflects a part of you that you have not accepted inside yourself.

5. Open your eyes and write down that quality. That's a "disowned self"!

6. Ask yourself to honor that part of yourself, it needs your acceptance.

When we shine the light of awareness onto our selves, consciousness awakens!

Envision a Magnificent 2013!

"We live in a holographic universe. It's nature is unity. We have direct access to the divine. We are connected through compassion."  ~Gregg Braden

The Mayans call it  "The Great Cycle" which is ending after 5,125 years. We are leaving the era of the patriarch, the male, yang, linear and moving towards the era of the matriarch, the female, yin, receptivity.

To move into the new paradigm we need to flush out feelings of polarization and separation. As we leave the world of duality, breaking down the old, we can let go of feeling like victims as we embrace being conscious co-creators.

Open to the call from your Soul to see yourself as Sacred. Honor the interrelatedness.

It is a time to strengthen our hearts and build community.

Turn Your Dreams Into Reality: Learn Hypnotherapy and NLP (and a 6-step exercise to manifest positive change)

Turn Your Dreams Into Reality: Learn Hypnotherapy and NLP

by Rainya Dann, Director of The Institute for Transpersonal Studies

You have the power to start manifesting your dreams today! How do you envision your future? Do you intend to attract the right partner, achieve a great career, ease pain, let go of a habit, overcome a phobia, reach a fitness goal or accomplish better communications in your personal or professional circles? You can begin to achieve any of your dreams by learning some simple hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) techniques that will immediately begin to influence your subconscious mind and body. Hypnotherapists, psychologists, nurses, massage practitioners, sports trainers, life coaches and others commonly utilize simple hypnotherapy and NLP techniques to help their clients. You can also do simple exercises yourself to create the life you dream about.

Hypnosis has been associated with the strange and mysterious. Actually, you are in a hypnotic state when you go to sleep or miss a freeway exit because you went into "autopilot." Hypnosis is simply a deeply relaxed state that provides access to your subconscious mind. Even when you are not in a hypnotic state, per se, everything you think about programs your subconscious mind in positive or negative ways. For example, when you say, "I'm so stupid" or "I'll never be able to do this" or "this hurts so much" you are reinforcing negative patterns in your mind and responses in your body. You can positively affect your future by understanding and using this process to create a life that you love. By utilizing some simple relaxation and visualization techniques you can implant new thought patterns into your subconscious mind.

Manifest Positive Change with this 6-Step Exercise:

1. Say to yourself, "I intend to create this goal" rather than "I want this." Mentally, it puts you in the driver's seat.

2. Say what you intend to make happen in a positive way rather than saying what you don't want. The subconscious doesn't understand double negatives. For example, if you say, "I will not eat cookies" your brain imprints "eat cookies."

3. Decide on a specific goal with a completion date. Imagine where, how and who is involved.

4. Ask yourself "what will achieving this goal do for my life?" This allows you to consider the larger intention beyond the goal. Then ask "what does the larger intention give me."

5. Visualize yourself in the future as a "new person" who has achieved the goal. Notice how you move, stand, breath, and interact. Listen to the supportive inner dialogue that the "new you" has. Imagine yourself stepping into that "new you" and becoming that person. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine the "new you" fully enjoying the life they love.

6. Look back at the steps that the "new you" took to create that new life. Acknowledge the steps it takes to accomplish that change. Now come back to the present moment. Decide what your next concrete action will be toward living your new life - and do it with renewed confidence!
