Quantum Creating 101: Michele’s Four Minute Miracle to Change Your Life!
If you’re familiar with some of my basic concepts for Quantum Creating success, you’ll know stalking your thoughts and a Meme Detox plays a big part of this. There’s no doubt that our thoughts create our reality but it goes a lot deeper than that. To understand how the process works we have to understand how our thoughts are perceived by not only our conscious minds but also our subconscious minds and what I like to think of as our Quantum mind, or superconsciousness – the part of us which is connected to the universe and to all the potential of creation.
First of all, nobody is suggesting you can’t or won’t have a negative thought – ever. That’s clearly unrealistic and impossible. Of course we have worries, doubts, stresses and anxieties. Events can happen that tip us into depression and I’m not suggesting for one moment that when these happen we are supposed to maintain a positive spin on things. I think there is a lot of confusion out there which results in people beating themselves up because they cannot sustain a positive mind-set 100% of the time – clearly an impossibility! But what I do want to do is show you clearly how it only takes thinking about something positive for four minutes at a time for the universe to interpret this as our desire to create it as a reality – and the same goes for a negative thought. Strangely enough, if you do concentrate on one idea or thought consciously for four minutes this is going to seem like an awful long time. Can you do it and remain focussed when you are conscious of doing it? Why not stop right now and set the time on your phone and then concentrate in as much detail as you can on a goal you have for four minutes. Nothing else – just that one goal. Do this now if you can.
So, how did you do? Did you manage to stay focussed until the timer went off or did you find your mind drifting? You may have been surprised as this may not seem like a long time until you do it. And the thing is, when we are not consciously doing this, we can end up with negative thoughts going round and round in our minds for much longer than four minutes. So, why is four minutes so important? Well, it works like this:
Your conscious mind generates a thought – this can be anything – positive or negative. If we sustain this thought for four minutes or longer it is then sent to our subconscious mind which then begins the process of turning this into a reality for us. Think of your subconscious mind as your personal genie or uber-smart PA. You tell it what you want and it goes and make it happen for you. Your subconscious then links up to the Quantum mind or universal superconsciousness and then this sets about creating this for you. Four minutes is the key period. If you change your thoughts and focus before the four minute window – it remains just that – a thought, nothing more. So, if you’ve had nasty break-up and are sitting brooding for hours on end about how badly you’ve been treated, then this is what the universe thinks you are ordering up. It’s not you don’t have a right to feel bad, or to think about it, but it’s the time you spend thinking on it that can determine what happens next. Stalking your thoughts is therefore a more powerful creative process than you can possibly imagine!
So, why not get into the practice of setting your timer and ‘stalking’ those positive thoughts around your goals for four minutes instead? Just four minutes out of your day can quite literally change your life, your world and bring you closer to your goals. It really is a four minute miracle!

Soul Mate Attraction in Action!
We all know that Soul Mates are those souls who have the most to teach us and we do our greatest soul learning when we are with them. A soul mate doesn’t have to be a romantic partner but of course, this is the soul mate connection that most of us are searching for. If you are seeking a soul mate when what can you do to send out a signal that you are now ready to meet them and experience a fresh phase of love and soul learning? If you’re ready to do some fearless soul-searching as part of this process, then let’s begin!
Who out there remembers the touching ‘You complete me’ elevator sequence from the film Jerry McGuire? Well, this process is based on that idea. Now, I am not for one moment saying we should be needy or need someone to ‘complete’ us – because neediness is actually the enemy of self-empowerment and true soul connections. And what we’re after is both. But what I am saying here is that have you ever noticed how in so many successful partnerships – whether they are romantic, collaborative or business (these are all soul-mate based partnerships), that very often the people in them ‘fill in’ each others gaps and enhance each other’s strengths? So, on this basis we’re about to do a fearless Soul Audit so you can attract the perfect soul mate who fulfils this role for you. They complete you – and you complete them.
First – take out your journal or a nice piece of paper – not that tatty A4 pad you brought home from the office or that recycled envelope – and write down all your strengths. That’s right. List all your talents and the things you are really, really good at. Now, you don’t have to have a list that reads ‘Run a marathon in two hours, split the atom, irrigate the desert, run my $3 billion internet start-up single handed’ – or they might. I’m talking about anything and everything from ‘Being a good listener’, ‘Good money managing skills’ to ‘Patient’, ‘Kind’, ‘A good parent’, ‘Hard working’ ‘Organised’ – yes, list achievements and things you are proud of. Really, this is going to be your tribute to you and don’t worry about sounding big-headed because nobody ever needs see this but you.
Now, re-read what you’ve written. Have you left anything out? Have a good think about this and take as long as you want. Congratulate yourself on having achieved so much and completing so much soul learning while doing so. Now, keep that good feeling because here comes the fearless part. Because I want you to list all the things you have difficulty tackling, contemplating doing or even would like to do but have never got around to doing as you’re scared of moving out of your comfort zone. Be truthful because again, nobody need ever see this list except for you. Perhaps your list includes something like: ‘I have lots of ideas but I scatter my energy and end up not doing anything with them’. Or ‘I find it difficult to keep track of my finances and am constantly in the red’. ‘I’m creative but disorganised’ or ‘I wish I was more adventurous as there’s things I’d like to try but I’m too scared of failing/succeeding/looking like an idiot’. Again, list as many as come to mind and take your time.
Don’t judge yourself or beat yourself up. The point to all this is not to criticise yourself but to see the areas in your life where a true soul mate could ‘complete’ you in some way. Spend some time on this apart of the process and above all, think about whether you have been subjective or objective. The idea is to see what you perceive as weaknesses as opportunities for you to grow with a partner who can fill in the gaps. When you are ready, write down the top three issues that you feel represent your greatest challenges. If you aren’t too good at managing your money, someone who is could help you in this area. If you have lots of ideas but either don’t see them through to completion or can’t commit to one, then someone who believes in your talents and who acts as your ‘goal coach’ could be just what you need. Now, take your three top qualities and list them because they are what you are bringing to ‘complete’ the other side of the story – your learning gifts for your soul mate!
Bear in mind what I said that a soul mate can be a friend, a co-worker or boss, a business or activity partner or even an animal as well as a romantic partner. One of the things I’ve found about this exercise is that if you are genuine about wanting to be in a soul mate relationship in order to move onto your next level of soul growth, then the universe will always respond with a soul mate for you so you can grow together. So get ready for someone who ‘completes’ you on some level – whether its romantically, spiritually or both!

Karmic relationship, soulmate or addiction?
Karmic Relationship – a relationship in which two souls are destined to meet in this life.
Relationships are our biggest challenge, as well as our biggest joy. Above all things I believe our relationships, especially our love relationships, help to evolve our soul. Sometimes, however, it is these very relationships that imprison us or disempower us as we sell our souls for what we feel is love.
How can you tell if a relationship is a karmic relationship? Karmic relationships are all about growth, they help us transform and expand but sometimes this is done through challenge rather than joy or genuine love. Karmic relationships can often be awful and the lesson is to walk away and know your worth or they last for a short amount of time but of course at the time we never feel it’s that easy!
When we meet someone and fall in love it can be a powerful cauldron of emotions which can intoxicate us and take us away from our right mind. We feel as if we have known that person for eternity and something just clicks. Even if we see warning signs that the relationship might not be right our soul can feel hijacked by the need to experience the other. We can end up falling into an overwhelming addiction.
Our understanding of love is ingrained from the womb and beyond. When we are babies we are attuned to the love of our parents or carers. If these carers do not give us a healthy love, an unhealthy love can feel very familiar even comfortable and right, especially if the person is initially charming. Our brain and our emotional responses are growing and we are learning all the time. As babies we formed neural pathways in our brain which coded our experience of love, when we meet this pattern (even if it is thinly disguised) in our later life we feel at home.
When we free ourselves of past patterns, value our unique soul and know that we deserve a joyful love we become beacons which draw likeminded souls towards us. Love should always be about freedom and adventure.
I filmed this video to expand on these ideas and ironically it was filmed when I had just fallen in love with my new partner who has brought me the greatest play and joy I have ever known!

What’s Your Body Saying? Science Shows Mind, Body and Spirit Are One
We’re all familiar with the theory that our thoughts create our reality. But less familiar with the part our bodies have to play in all of this. Neuroscience has uncovered the connection between emotion-laden information carrying molecules in our bodies which facilitate communication between the body and brain. Virtually every cell in our bodies contains thousands of receptors all designed to pick up signals from the world around us. Amazingly, around 40% of our DNA is dedicated to keeping these in perfect working order. Additionally, we have messages coming in from all around our bodies in the form or hormones, peptides and neurotransmitters. As far as our feelings go, peptides are the ones that signal feelings ranging from letting us know we’re hungry to anger, bliss, euphoria or relaxation. Now, when a peptide encounters a receptor, they make a connection between our bodies and our state of consciousness – in other words they influence how we feel in the physical world – and therefore what we attract. Our bodies therefore are a reflection of our subconscious minds and our subconscious is what we use to build our view of reality.
It’s easy to see from this how hanging on to negative emotions will not only have an affect on our outer experience but on our bodies as well. Dr. Candace Pert a neuroscientist who has done extensive research into this area says ‘Emotions are about connection. They connect difference parts of your body to each other, they connect you to your body, they are a vibration that connects you to the planet, the stars and the Earth and to each other’. As we take in new experiences, this information enters through your receptors to where your past memories and experiences are stored. Your ‘data bank’ then compares this new information to what is already stored in there and adds new meaning to it, or sometimes, if the new experiences are too painful, it shunts them off into your unconscious mind. But looked at another way, what this actually means is we are constantly resonating with what we already know to be true – as your present ‘reality’ is really nothing but a comparison with what has already happened. This is why some people can find changing their minds so very difficult.
If we hang on to limiting or negative emotions we are therefore not only risking our mental wellbeing but also our physical wellbeing too. The wider implications are that this extends to how we treat people around us and also affects our ability to attain our goals. Now of course to say don’t have a negative emotion again is totally unrealistic as we all do from time to time – that’s part of being human. But I’m talking about hanging on to thoughts and feelings that really don’t serve us. Remember, what we put into our bodies can affect us emotionally as well so follow these simple steps for healthy emotions, a healthier body and a beautiful reality:
Avoid anything artificial such as sweeteners as these can affect your body’s ability to create a natural high.
Practice love and forgiveness – holding on to negative emotions can damage your body in the long term. If you feel the need to ‘get back’ at someone remember the best revenge is to be happy.
Love that body! Invest in bodywork or a massage to release long-held stresses
Reach out and touch somebody – get a hug – emotions are not just stored in your brain but in every cell of your body as this research confirms!

Want Success? Let The Real You Shine Through!
I’m always emphasising the importance of us following our own path and honouring our individuality. We are all a unique shard of the universe – totally unrepeatable! Being ourselves and truly loving who we are is such an important part of our spiritual development as well as goal attainment and living our best possible lives, it has to be one of our top priorities. It’s got nothing to do with being self-centered, vain or narcissistic at all. When we truly are able to be and appreciate who we are, all our relationships with others improve and what is more we become beacons of inspiration for others by our example. But this can also be one of the toughest spiritual undertakings we can embark on. Because being who we are takes courage.
Let me give you an example of this. As a kid did you ever laugh along with bullies who were tormenting someone else just because you didn’t want them turning on you? Fast forward to our adult life and often this evolves into ‘fitting in’ and hiding who we really are. Now, don’t get me wrong here – we all want to be accepted. But what if being ‘accepted’ is all about hiding the ‘real’ you? That’s not acceptance at all. That’s survival at best, the total destruction of your beautiful soul at the very worst. But this kind of ‘agreeing’ behaviour is hard to resist. Psychologists have found that when someone with a very different point of view in thrown in with a group who all share the same one – then in most cases they will change their opinions to fit in with the group. This is taking on the ‘group meme’ – whether it sits well with you or not and we can see from this how entire societies can take on very negative ideas – such as happened in Nazi Germany, just to fit in. Now, that is an extreme example of course, but you can see how this can happen. How many times have you agreed with people not seem ‘different’ or at odds, just to appear to fit in?
The fact is, when we sell ourselves out in this way, we not only lose a little bit of who we are, but take a step further way from our goals and our soul purpose. We become less authentic to ourselves and therefore on a vibrational level, less authentic to others. This then works against us especially if what we want most of all is a genuine connection with someone. When we know who we are and what we stand for and are unafraid to be that, then we attract others who are equally authentic. If you look at the lives of successful people in all walks of life, they are almost always unapologetically themselves – totally unique and individual.
No-one you have met in this life, whether you have loved them or hated them, no company, no organisation, no group, no school or university, has the power to shape who you are or your choices unless you let them. If your brain tells you that you have to ‘go along’ with what ‘everyone’ thinks in order to ‘fit in’ – then this is just a thought on your part – not the reality of your life, and thoughts we can change. Once the real You is allowed to shine through then you will attract your own people simply by doing that and you won’t need to cover up or censor yourself in any way. You are here for a purpose and to fulfil that purpose you have to be yourself. So, don’t imitate others or go along with them just to ‘fit in’. Attract the people who are a perfect fit for you – and the life that allows you to be who you truly are in the process.
