Paper Seeds: An Exercise in Sprouting and Manifesting
When I was young I lived on my grandpa's farm and he taught me some very important lessons. One of the lessons had to do with the Biblical verse, 'As you sow so shall ye reap.'
Planting seeds, literally and figuratively, is a magical thing. When tended to, given fertile soil and water, and nurtured, seeds grow into the bounty of life (again: literally and figuratively). With real seeds and plants, there is a caution that once we see the little sprouts, we must not tug on them to try and make them grow faster because that will simply kill them.
Instead, allow it to grow at it's own pace. With a figurative seed the growth can be immediate or it can grow quickly, others need time coming to fruition and will only manifest as quickly as you allow it to.
You can't go beyond where you have not yet begun. What does this mean? It means, in order to have the grown plant, we need to start with a seed.
Without further ado, now for the sowing. . . This is a fantastic exercise.
The only thing you'll need for this exercise is a stack of multi-colored 3 x 5 cards. For each "seed" choose a separate card. These can be single words, something as simple as a persuasion language pattern, or an affirmation.
The best way to make compose the sentences on your paper seeds is to apply them to an internal state. Here's one in relation to persuasion: 'I am aware of the things I need to do to persuade in every interaction I have with everyone I come into contact with.'
You're aiming at your awareness in this affirmation.
People tell me all the time, 'Kenrick, your stuff is brilliant. I absolutely love it. I can't get over how good it is. I'm so thrilled to be studying with you. Now, yesterday I was just involved with someone and I forgot to use what it is you're teaching me, but I'm starting to remember.'
I hear this from people I've been working with for years. And sometimes it takes time to sink in. I always remind them, the conscious mind is fickle. It takes time to remember to use persuasion strategies.
So you've got your statement written on the 3 x 5 card. Now take the card and cut it into about fifty little pieces. Cut it up so you have little bitty pieces of the card.
The next step is to take those pieces and tape them up all over your house. Stick on the steering wheel of your car. Stick them on your elliptical machine or treadmill. Stick a few up on your bathroom mirror.
Be creative. Tape them up everywhere and leave them there for at least seven days. And tell yourself, ever time you see one of the pieces, that you'll repeat the affirmation that you wrote in full. (You can also 'think' it out in full.)
This exercise is going to internalize and actualize your affirmation a hundred times faster than if you had just carried the card around with you. You've got fifty little reminders instead of just one, and each time you repeat it to yourself, you're one step closer to realizing it.
You can use this strategy to push anything into your brain in order to act more quickly and assuredly.
I'm absolutely certain if you try this, you'll have amazing flowering gardens of success.
