Directions for Using Smart Minerals

Introduction

The Gift's main application is empowering personal growth and raising one's consciousness. It is important to understand that taking The Gift™ "opens the door"; it does not force you through it. Making clear, well-defined statements, or other means of creating intent, takes you "through the door" to the destination that you have set. Intent by itself has limited ability to create change due primarily to the programming effects of early life experience. When intent is used in conjunction with The Gift™, much more powerful results are seen. Using The Gift™ without intent is like opening the door without going through it. I hope it is clear that I strongly recommend both together for good results. It is also very important to use it with regularity, three or four times a day, especially in the beginning. This helps to create a habit for the mind to go in the new direction.

The method I recommend for users of The Gift™ depends on making statements immediately after taking it. It is necessary that you work out the statements in advance and are comfortable that they actually say what you really mean. They work best when said out loud with a depth of feeling. The three types of statements we use are explained later: preparatory, purpose and protocol.

When making the statements, I recommend speaking them aloud and in private whenever possible. Though it is not necessary, it is a big help especially in the beginning.

When you make a statement and listen carefully to what you are saying and how you are saying it, you may notice any of the following.

• Is the voice weak or strong?
• Is the voice clear or cloudy?
• Are you stammering or tripping over the words?
• How does the statement feel in your body?
• Does your throat constrict?
• Does it feel good?

If you test yourself (kinesiologically or using a pendulum) or have someone else test you after making a statement, you are at the desired response when you test strong or get a "yes" response. If you test weak after saying it, more "oomph" or feeling is needed with more repetition. Keep repeating slowly, forcefully, until you get a positive response.

Even if you are an expert dowser or kinesiologist, noticing yourself as you make the statements can give you a window into your subconscious process. Most will notice that after a few repetitions, perhaps as many as seven, the statement will sound clear, strong and smooth. It will feel good, or at least not disturbing. It will seem more like a good idea, if you were conflicted about it. You will be able to make the statement without errors and probably without reading it.

PREPARATORY STATEMENTS are like getting the soil ready before planting the seeds. They are very essential for good results. They create an alignment of the unconscious with the conscious mind. In personal training sessions called "M-3 for Higher Consciousness," extensive use is made of this type of statement to alleviate very deep resistances and get full cooperation of the unconscious. It is sufficient for our purpose here to at least make preparatory statements of choice and safety.

If my intent is to raise self-esteem, then my statement of choice can be, "I choose to have a high level of self esteem now." My statement of safety can be," It is completely safe for me to have a high level of self esteem now."

STATEMENTS OF PURPOSE are declarations that what you want is already a reality. For example, the statement "I love and accept myself" is the correct version. Notice how it is different from the incorrect versions illustrated below.

First point is that there is no negative phrasing, such as, "I won't judge myself."

Second point is that it is not conditional upon anything such as, "If, when, after I stop smoking."

Third point is that it is in the time frame of right now instead of the future. Not, "I will love myself."

PROTOCOLS are statements of purpose that have been stacked into a hierarchy of increasing inclusiveness or degree. Following is an example of a protocol:

1. "I love and accept myself.
2. "I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself."
3. "I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself regardless of my faults and shortcomings."
4. "I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself regardless of all my faults and shortcomings."

This sequence shows four degrees of increasing self-esteem. It was taken from a twelve level Protocol for "Personal Self Esteem." You may be interested to know that most people I have tested start out between zero and two on my twelve level scale for personal self-esteem. Being at a level less than level two, results in blockages to healing. Reaching level four seems to help quite a lot.

You can create your own protocols using the four steps as an example. Workshops will offer much more depth of information and training for all the components discussed in this Primer and include several other types of Protocols.

Step number one is to decide what you will work on first. You can start with the self-esteem statements or craft your own. If you compose your own, carefully word your intent and write it down before you take The Gift™.

Overview

Let me describe how I do it. Before I start, I decide what intent I will use The Gift™ to help me realize (=make real). I attain clarity about my statements and write them out. Using the paper to stay on track, I focus on saying the statements rather than on the paper. That will be much more effective than reading them aloud from the paper. [Especially if it is my first time using The Gift™ I will set some time aside for the exercise so I can notice how it has affected me.]

After thoroughly shaking the bottle I will squeeze the dropper plunger several times to purge it and place three to five drops either on the energy center (chakra) or under my tongue. Then I repeat the statements with intensity.

I will go on to the next statement only after I have either measured or sensed that I am strong on it. (Alternatively, I will say each statement as many as seven times and assume that has been sufficient.)

After completing all the statements I will close my eyes for a minute or two to help the communication assimilate into my system. Although I will take The Gift™ three or four times throughout the day, I will do this full procedure only once. When I take it later in the day, I will only repeat the final statement of purpose. If I'm not getting the results, or it seems to me that I am having difficulty integrating the purpose, I can do the entire long version more than once a day depending on available time and motivation.

In the future I will share other means of creating intent.

Good luck in your personal adventure of exploring higher consciousness with The Gift™.

Q. How can I use The Gift to the best advantage? How do I use it with "intent" as you say in the write up?

A. Great question. Anyone who can get a yes/no response using a pendulum or muscle testing can use the method outlined below. If you cannot do it for yourself, perhaps a friend or professional who is capable of the testing will do the simple steps with you. As an alternative to doing the testing, use one drop of The Gift and repeat each statement seven times slowly with real feeling, taking a total of five drops. We do not recommend this anytime close to sleep time, as most find it to be a very energetic experience.

1. State: "I love and accept myself." Test for a Yes or No response.

If no, use one drop of The Gift and repeat the statement until pendulum or muscle test says "yes."

Wait a minute. State: "I am ready to go on now." Wait until test says yes.

Repeat the above with each of the following.

2. State: "I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself."

If no, use another drop. If yes, wait for the yes to "I am ready to go on now."

3. State: "I deeply and profoundly love and accept my self regardless of my faults and shortcomings."

Same as above.

4. State: "I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself regardless of *all* my faults and shortcomings."

5. When test shows ready to go on to state, " I will stay at this high level of self esteem from now on permanently unless I go higher." Same as above.

Whenever you get the "No" answer, use one drop of The Gift. When you get the "Yes", follow the instructions given in "Wait a minute." If you are not testing after the statements, you will use a drop and then make each statement seven times. Either way virtually anyone will come to a high level of self esteem that will help you in all areas of your life. You can also apply this general pattern to other personal goals.

Please understand that the above notes describe a way to use The Gift, not The Only Way. It is one of many possible approaches. We invite you to explore and find ways that work best for you.

Q. How do I use The Gift with intent?

Before using The Gift, pause, center yourself, focus on your desired outcome. Speak a statement out loud that describes your desired state.

• Use it before meditating, or other energy development practices.
• Use it before any performance.
• Use it to enhance listening to music, playing music, reading poetry or reading inspirational literature.
• Use it in conjunction with rituals, ceremonies or healing practices.
• Use it with loved ones, or clients that you are relaxing, balancing or healing.
• Couples can use it together and do an activity or recitation in unison to bond and harmonize more closely.

Many users report that their meditations, prayers or spiritual practices have been more rewarding after using The Gift.

Enjoy!

Q. How do I use it on my energy centers? Where are they?

The main energy centers (chakras) are on the center line of your body. They are between the eyes, at the base of the throat on the neck, on your breast bone over your heart, over your solar plexus (midway between the bottom tip of the sternum and the navel), two finger widths below the navel, and the base chakra can be accessed on the tail bone. Especially on the Heart and Solar Plexus Centers, my favorite method is to massage lightly a few drops in a clockwise direction while repeating my intention statement or prayer. Clockwise means if you are looking at yourself from the outside, the circular direction the hands of the clock would move.
