Words are energy in motion. They speak directly to the conscious and subconscious mind, which is where we desire the shifts to occur in order to manifest change in our world. Energy always does better when it is reinforced through a larger supply. Enlightenment brings with it that larger supply or a greater degree of light. "Plugging" into that light, so to speak, by focusing our attention, listening to and absorbing the energy that comes through one who is already enlightened and has achieved mastery brings enlightenment and healing. It in effect, will "speed" the progress of those who are less enlightened.
"We need to ask God and Guru (teachers) if what we want is right for us to have. Once assured, then we need to affirm, we need to pray, we need to give thanksgiving and praise for whatever God has brought to us"
Sister Mridani
Determine if what you are asking for in your life is from your "rational consciousness" or from your "irrational, fantasy consciousness" because your thoughts and your feelings are what will manifest.
Choose a situation that is troubling you and notice where you are in your mind and how you think and act in the situation.
Trace the events back in your own mind to determine how you got in the situation in the first place and follow the dynamics of the "movie", so to speak. Be objective. Be honest, fair and rational as you do this.

"...This positive state is a skill that can be trained. Our findings clearly indicate that meditation can change the function of the brain in an enduring way."
Professor Davidson (Scientist from the University of California ,
San Francisco during a 1993 study of the Brain and Meditation)
Step One
Today, make a list of things to be GRATEFUL for.
Give 30 seconds to each thing on your list, close your eyes and really be grateful. FEEL the gratefulness throughout your entire being.

"...we need to give thanksgiving and praise for whatever it is God has brought to us. And then master (Yogananda) says to visualize it as if the thing is done."
"...And finally, we need to act-to practice right action and to act as it that which we have asked for is done. This right action will enable the cosmic forces to open those great gates of supply."
"Think to yourself, "If the good that God wants me to have has not come to me today, then through my action today, I am one step closer to the windows of heaven being opened and God's bounty being poured forth."
Sister Mridani
Step One
The above quotes are self explanatory. But, let's take it a step deeper. Begin giving thanksgiving and praise directly upon waking and take those thoughts with you into the bathroom and on into the kitchen for the morning coffee or whatever.
Then pick the moment in the morning that gives you JOY. For instance, if you really enjoy that morning cup of coffee, take just one minute while in that state of comfort and joy and visualize what it is that you would like to manifest in your world.
Take that minute and ACT AS IF IT WERE DONE!
Then simply release it and say to yourself, "Today, I am practicing right action in all things and through that right action, I am one step, or even several steps closer to that which I desire."
