Many people incorrectly believe that they have no control over their financial lives or matters of money and wealth.  They consequently live in a fear-based paradigm where they are a victim of apparent circumstance.  Once they decide that they have had enough and choose to walk the path of prosperity, their lives will instantly change for the better.  All that is needed is the sincere desire to understand a basic metaphysical equation and the courage to apply it on a daily basis in order to become prosperous.

      I do not define prosperity as how much money you have in the bank or what material possessions you currently own.  I define prosperity as a state of mind that allows the ongoing manifestation of one’s true desires.  This prosperous state of mind is not just available to the person who is currently rich, talented, or educated.  This state of mind is available to everyone who chooses to embrace it and has the knowledge of how to apply what I call “The Equation.”

     At Dragon Moon Martial Arts Association, I teach much more than just physical martial arts technique.  I teach my students how to use and apply the ancient metaphysical laws that allow them to control their lives and become masters of their own destiny.  This is the hidden underlying purpose behind traditional martial arts.  The first line of our Dragon Code states ‘I am what I am because I choose to be.”  Are you ready to choose to be prosperous?  If so, you can be.  The key is in your mental intent and the corresponding mental discipline in applying the following basic metaphysical equation: Relaxed Visualization + Faith + Gratitude + Feeling + Inspired Action = Manifestation.

     First, you must meditate by relaxing your body and entering into a state of consciousness where you are connected with the rhythm of the universe.  Then you must create a specific vision of what exactly you want to manifest.  Then you must spend time contemplating your vision on a daily basis until it manifests.

     You must believe that your vision will manifest.  You must stay true to that faith even without tangible evidence.  For practitioners new to metaphysics, this is sometimes the hardest part of the Equation to perform.  Once you experience a successful manifestation first hand, it becomes easier to have faith in subsequent manifestations.

     You must be thankful for all of the blessings in your life.  You must be thankful to God or the Higher Power, however you conceive that Higher Power to be, that your vision has already manifested.  These feelings of gratitude pull the desired vision toward manifestation in the physical plane.

     You must then engage your feelings.  Imagine what it would feel like to already have what you want to manifest.  Hold on to that feeling for as long as you can each time you use "The Equation".

     Take action when inspired to do so.  You must interact with the world in order to allow your vision to manifest.  Every moment is an opportunity to experience the magic and mystery of creation.  You must follow your intuition and allow your vision to manifest.

     If you create a relaxed visualization of your desired vision, empower it with the faith that it will manifest, extend gratitude to the Higher Power that your vision has already manifested, engage your feelings in feeling what the outcome would feel like to you and take inspired action, then metaphysical law requires that your desired vision will manifest.  Time will be the only variable.  The question becomes not if your desired vision will manifest, but simply when.  The more efficiently you can apply the Equation, the faster your desired vision will manifest.

     Relaxed Visualization + Faith + Gratitude + Feeling + Inspired Action = Manifestation.  This Equation is very simple.  This Equation is very easy.  It has been working for metaphysical practitioners from different cultures for thousands of years.   It has worked for me for many years.  If you choose to apply it, it will work for you too.
