Well Monte Faber thinks he has the formula. It is a 5-step process he swears by, and offers four case studies of people he has helped to change their lives using it. The steps themselves are quickly laid out, but require a fair amount of reflection on the reader’s part to fill in the blanks. Steps 1 and 2 were to identify your goal and then look at your history around it. As Monte points out, you may well find out that you don’t really want what you thought you wanted. As he says, “If you know your question, you know your answer.” Probably the most interesting aspect of the book was the process Monte led his subjects through to arrive at a clear understanding of what they really wanted, and what their gifts were. That was the third step – knowing what you were really good at that came easily to you. Once you have a clear understanding of your strengths and your goal, you’re set to do the quantum bit, which is to combine, or “entangle” them in a visualization he calls “quantumplaytion.” I suppose what sets this book apart from most Law of Attraction books, is that it doesn’t just urge you on to positive affirmations, but guides you through some of the inner work that raises the likelihood of a positive outcome. He also very sensibly points out that as you go along, you change as a person and your goals probably will change as well. So if you are still struggling with what you want to be when you grow up or losing weight, or seeking love or abundance, this book should provide some useful tools to manifest what you desire. Whether it is good psychology, quantum physics or a touch of magic, as long as it works, who cares? ]]> Tue, 17 Jul 2012 05:04:21 -0700 2184-986 http://www.ncreview.com/science-consciousness/quantum-affirmations-the-new-energy-science-of-conscious-manifestation At first glance the title of this book led me to believe it would be filled with powerful positive statements and instructions on how to construct the best possible affirmation to change your life. Upon reading it I soon realized that traditional affirmations were not the basis of this powerful method to manifest the life you want. Instead, author Monte Farber has taken the Law of Attraction and coupled it with quantum physics principles to create his Quantum Affirmations practice. The practice includes getting clear about what you want, examining why you haven’t achieved it yet, identifying your gift, and finally entangling your gift with your goal through “quantumplaytion” at least twice a day (another way of saying visualization). In addition to the explanation of how to use this unique practice, the author has included four case studies to illustrate how the process works, as well as a list of affirmations that can be used with the visualizations for better results. If you have practiced affirmations or other Law of Attraction visualizations before, you may have had difficulty in having a felt experience of already having achieved the life you want, which ought to accompany the affrimations. The strategies in Quantum Affirmations works around such difficutlies by instead tapping into the feeling that comes from what you are already good at and combining it with your goal, to create an innovative way of using visualization to assist you in seeing, believing, and living the life of your dreams. ]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:54:05 -0700
