Manifesting Your Desires with Paper Seeds 
By: Kenrick Cleveland
When I was young I lived on my grandpa's farm and he taught me some very important lessons. Another of the lessons had to do with the Biblical verse, 'As you sow so shall ye reap.'
Planting seeds, literally and figuratively, is a magical thing. When tended to, given fertile soil and water, and nurtured, seeds grow into the bounty of life (again: literally and figuratively). With real seeds and plants, there is a caution that once we see the little sprouts, we must not tug on them to try and make them grow faster because that will simply kill them.
Instead, allow it to grow at it's own pace. With a figurative seed the growth can be immediate or it can grow quickly, others need time coming to fruition and will only manifest as quickly as you allow it to.
You can't go beyond where you have not yet begun. This simply means that in order to have the grown plant (business, relationship, idea), then you must start with the planting of the seed.
Now for the sowing. I absolutely LOVE this exercise.
The only thing you'll need for this exercise is a stack of multi-colored 3 x 5 cards. For each "seed" choose a separate card. These can be single words, something as simple as a persuasion language pattern, or an affirmation.
The best way to do this is to apply it to an internal state. 'I am aware of the things I need to do to persuade in every interaction I have with another individual.'
The aim of this affirmation is your awareness.
People tell me all the time, 'Kenrick, your stuff is brilliant. I absolutely love it. I can't get over how good it is. I'm so thrilled to be studying with you. Now, yesterday I was just involved with someone and I forgot to use what it is you're teaching me, but I'm starting to remember.'
I hear this from people I've been working with for years. And that's okay. It takes the time it takes. Consciousness is fickle, but you can help yourself with that.
So you've got your statement written on the 3 x 5 card. Now take the card and cut it into about fifty little pieces. Cut it up so you have little bitty pieces of the card.
Now take each little piece and tape them up all over your house, tape them in your car, on your bathroom mirror, on your treadmill, on your wallet--everywhere you look.
Get creative. Put them up and leave them there for at least seven days. Every time you see one of the pieces, tell yourself that you're going to think of the affirmation that you wrote. Think out the affirmation in full. No shortcuts.
This exercise is going to internalize and actualize your affirmation a hundred times faster than if you had just carried the card around with you. You've got fifty little reminders instead of just one, and each time you repeat it to yourself, you're one step closer to realizing it.
This is a great strategy that you can use to just push something into your brain and make you act on it.
I'm absolutely certain if you try this, you'll have amazing flowering gardens of success.
