A MINDSHIFTER® is a thought about an issue in my life about which I hold thought disorders. A MindShifter is a written process, designed to replace the concept of an affirmation — the pretense that something untrue is true — with the opportunity to use the principles of resonance to uncover — to surface, process and heal related thought disorders that block my full expression as Creative Love.
Proper use? It is recommended that you write, depending on the intensity of the issue you are facing, at least 2, perhaps up to 4, or more uninterrupted hours. Do that by dividing a piece of paper in half and writing your MindShifter on the left side of the page. Then allow yourself to free associate — write whatever your selected MindShifter resonates in you on the right side of the page. Write, uncensored, whatever surfaces — describe body sensations, emotions, cravings, ravings, wishes, curses, avoidance thoughts, joy thoughts — anything, whether it seems related or not, that surfaces in your mind until you run out of thoughts, then write the MindShifter again, and again, as often as you need to, until the mind dumps whatever it holds and you experience a satisfactory level of completion. That completion will not mean you are finished with that MindShifter — for many issues will need to be revisited several times, as vitality increases until you are actually complete with the thought disorders related to those issues. Just allow yourself to do a major, unimpaired, free and open mind dump — uncovering, perhaps, issues from all the way back into childhood, including even genetic, or generational, issues. If, as you work with these MindShifters, you come up with a different suggested wording for a MindShifter, a particularly powerful MindShifter, or a suggested topic for a new section in this series, please send it to us!
“Our (experimental) results allow us to appreciate how the experiences of a parent, before even conceiving offspring, markedly influence both structure and function in the nervous system of subsequent generations. Such a phenomenon may contribute to the etiology and potential inter generational transmission of risk for neuropsychiatric disorders such as phobias, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.”
Dr. Brian Dias of the Emory University Department of Psychiatry.
Example: Listen to Magda as she shares the process and result of looking into generational issues to do with heart issues… A powerful piece of ancestral inquiry and healing that she did in the “Codependence To Interdependence/Responsibility Communication” Intensive.

“In order to heal we must learn to hold Love present in our minds as painful thought disorders surface, for once truly embraced in the actual Presence of Love we are freed of those mental constructs. What we cannot embrace in Love diminishes us!” dr. michael ryce
“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.” Carl Jung
Once complete you have a record of thought disorders you need to work through — review each limiting thought and, in order to correct whatever you have uncovered, choose which tools to use to clean up those thoughts. Mark beside each issue which tool is appropriate — the Reality Management tool, the Codependence WorkSheet, My Commitment, the Power Person WorkSheet, Responsibility Communication, The Apology Tool — whatever tools you have to heal those thought disorders so they no longer remain in the hidden parts of your mind. And remember that a memory of pain is just a memory of pain. You do not need to re-empower or make such memories real, just embrace them and allow Love to free you.
It is recommended that, rather than using your intellect to choose what to work on, that you select two numbers as follows:
First — a number from 1 to (the number of sections: 1-3 for this set)
Second — a number from 1-13 (the number of MindShifters in each section)
Then look up, using the 2 numbers, your MindShifter in the section you have selected…

Sample of what a MindShifter would look like…..
I cherish mySelf. | My preacher said that is selfish and I will go to hell. I was told pride goes before a fall! |
I cherish mySelf. | Is that ego? I have no value. I’m hungry. I hate people who brag. I don’t like hating. |
I cherish mySelf. | It is scary to imagine that. They put my Mother in an asylum and she was babbling about people hating her. I need a smoke. I don’t want to do this it is bringing up a lot of fear. |
I cherish mySelf. | I am feeling angry and my gut hurts. I’m holding my breath alot. I remember my Dad raging at my Mom. |
I cherish mySelf. | Why can’t people just be kind to each other? I remember hitting my brother and Mom screaming at me. Maybe it is time to do one of those Reality Management Forgiveness Sheets! |
