Personal growth is a strange thing. What does it really mean?

When I first encountered personal development and self improvement I thought the concept of personal growth was about being more spiritual (even though I really didn't know what that meant).

So I decided I would venture down the path to enlightenment by creating a better physical world starting with my own circumstances. I would become rich and successful and then take carte of my personal growth.

Setting goals was new to me as I have never been taught how to go after my desires before. The concepts of mind over matter, thoughts having the ability to create reality and the promise that I could direct my own destiny were exciting to me.

It wasn't long though before I discovered it wasn't as easy as the $20 dollar esoteric and metaphysical books had promised. However, the promise that I could attain my heart's desires enthralled me and motivated me to keep searching.

There was no Internet back then. In fact, even though I am only 39, there weren’t even mobile/cell phones! The world was a larger place and the ability to get knowledge was a harder task.I spent my first 20 years searching mostly in vain. I did come across many wonderful tools, techniques and methods that help me better myself as a person and relate more productively with the world around me. However, I had yet to find my "magic personal growth bullet".

As I grow older and wiser I realised that you cannot better your exterior world until your inner world is made better. It seemed that personal growth and outward success (or manifestation of one's desires) went hand in hand.

So, I set about making myself a better person!This had profound changes in my life. Everything got better for me (except my finances) due to my new attitude. However, I still had many issues to deal with and it always seemed like an up-hill struggle.

That' s when I discovered the Sedona Method and for the first time I realised why I had been unable to achieve most of mu physical goals. I also realised why, when I had made some break-through in my own beliefs, my life had dramatically improved.

I, just like you, have a subconscious mind. But mine was filled with negativity that I was trying to veneer over with hypnosis, affirmations, visualizations etc. It was like emptying good fruit into a vat filled with rotting fruit - all the fruit goes bad and you have more mess than you began with.

By learning to remove my "bad fruit" and clearing my subconscious mind of its negativity (an on-going task to be sure) I was able to make MASSIVE leaps forward in my own growth.

Later I discovered that there was another course, which derived from the same original teacher, called the Release Technique which allowed me to remove my inner limitations to reaching my physical goals.The rest, as they say, is history!
