    Prosperity Consciousness: Stress Free Wealth Creation, Hörbuch, Digital, 81min
    This hypnosis will work for you! Law of attraction books contain lots of useful information, but often it is difficult to implement because your subconscious mind resists the changes your conscious mind is trying to make. Even though you use affirmations, vision boards, and visualization as you're saying the words or imagining the life you want, behind those activities your feelings are telling you it can't be done. Of course feelings and emotions are the keys to attracting abundance, and you hit a barrier each time because you can't deny your underlying beliefs. Everything is energy, and until you give off the highest vibrations, you will continue to attract lower energies. Many listeners have benefited from my audio, Activating the Law of Attraction, written over 10 years ago. This best-selling audio worked because I used the power of hypnosis. Through hypnosis you receive suggestions straight into your subconscious, bypassing your conscious mind. The substance and energy of wealth and abundance are created by your mind, not by your job or other means of making a living. Prosperity is freely given by the creator of the universe when your subconscious mind agrees to accept the gifts. Align your spiritual vibration to the highest level, and open your ability to receive the good that is already yours, waiting for you. During this hypnosis you will meet your spirit guide, who will direct you through the complicated maze that leads to your prosperity. Suggestions are given that will be remembered subconsciously throughout your day, ensuring you remain on track. Over time you will draw to you all you desire, without conscious effort. People will appear in your life at exactly the right times, doors will open, and unexpected gifts and financial windfalls will arrive. The theta music played alongside the positive suggestions will keep your mind open and receptive. Using this hypnosis is the easiest way to program your subconscious Language: English.
