Activating Your Superhuman Powers
Welcome back to Level Three, Activate, of Project:Yourself. The
corresponding level of the Sri Yantra is called “Agitator of All.” This is
because, when you want something, you literally have to “agitate”
something else to make it happen.
Get ready to discover and access eight more “super powers” that lie
deep within you, most of which you probably never knew existed.
You’ll also be digging into the recesses of yourself and drawing on the
intangible forces that lie within your mind and travel along with your
very breath.

Project:Forward
Begin in a comfortable seated position with a straight spine. Remember,
your environment is essential for receiving. Be sure to be in a place where
you feel open and peaceful. This can be where you were in the last level, or
somewhere new... you choose.
Once you feel settled, take a deep breath in as you close your eyes. On the
exhale, begin to let the breath move slowly from belly to chest to throat and
then slowly release it through the nostrils. Take 3 full breaths this way, and
visualize sending the breath to parts of your body that feel tight or strained
such as your lower back, hips and hamstrings. (Pause)
Now inhale fully, filling your whole chest but being mindful of your
shoulders and neck, keeping them relaxed. Exhale with an open mouth and
let all the air out. At the next inhale, let your breath be fluid... breathing in
and out. (Pause)
Begin to let your mind find your avatar again. Let the beauty of your
avatar’s presence become one with your breath. (Pause)
Your body may begin to relax as you find yourself beside your avatar again.
You may feel a comfort that reminds you of being in a place that feels like
home (Pause)
At each breath in, set an intention to fully receive the gifts of this third level.
At each breath out, set an intention to be aware and present once you have
received. (Pause)
In this journey with your avatar, we will focus on the eight lotus petals
within the Sri Yantra. Imagine these petals surrounding and encompassing
your mind. (Pause)
These petals represent the 8 siddhis, or powers, you can utilize to stir up and
make what you want happen. You and your avatar will let each of these
petals unfold gracefully.
Anima, smallness.
Laghima, largeness.
Page 5
Garima, heaviness.
Mahima, creativity.
Easatva, godliness.
Vasatva, subjugation.
Praakamya, fulfilling the objective.
Iccha, willfulness.
Imagine these petals, these words, in your focal point, penetrating your
mind’s eye. This is your focus in this level. Your focus on what you need to do
to get what you truly desire.
Looking into your avatar’s eyes, begin to visualize this, what do you desire?
(Pause)
You will find yourself possessing tools in this level that will allow you to
harness the unseen forces of autosuggestion, eating and exercising right,
and even an advanced concept known as Kundalini. (Pause)
As you begin to imagine each of these tools bringing you to your deepest
desires, visualize each of the petals and their powers that reside within
you. Take a deep breath in to find the greatest tool and power you possess.
(Pause)
As you exhale, know that the ultimate power, residing within you, is simply
the power of being yourself. (Pause)
Take one final breath at your own pace, as you gently open your eyes.
Project:Reflections
Reflect back upon your journey through Level 3’s Projecting Forward
and write down everything that you felt and observed. What powers did
you feel stirring within you? What thoughts and feelings came up for
you? Capture all of this below….

Feel the Waves Wash Over You…
It’s time to access your inner Zen-rock star and writer! Take a few
minutes to download the full Element Infusion mp3 music file created
by Niraj Naik, founder of The Alpha Mind System
(www.AlphaMindSystem.com) and a Project:Yourself guest expert. Put
on some headphones if you have them and find a quiet space where
you can kick back and listen uninterrupted.
These Alpha sound waves are tuned to the third chakra which is located
at your solar plexus. Alpha waves have a profound effect on your mind
and body. Listening to this track will help you optimize your entire brain
and help your body go into a relaxed state. This state of being and mind
will enable you to speak directly to your subconscious mind.
Let the sound waves wash over you and trigger this deep, relaxed state
of mind...feel the music. Let it help you to stop thinking with your mind
and more with your senses and instinct.
As you listen to the music, delve deep into the recesses of yourself...
what is it that you fear? What is it that is making you self-conscious? If
you were being completely honest with yourself, what are you scared of
within yourself?

Element Infused Reflections
These eight petals comprise the part of the Sri Yantra called the “Agitator
of All” that speaks to your “self consciousness.” Each petal within the
image represents a separate “agitator” that is an energy you can access
and harness to activate the powers within you that you can use to create
what you want in life.

You can activate and engage each of your eight powers in
the following ways…
• Tap into the power of your “smallness” and allow yourself to be vulnerable
so that you can get to the source of what you really want. Let your “small
self” be heard and be honest and vulnerable with yourself and others.
Picture yourself as small as an atom to create this as your reality.
• Draw on the power of your “heaviness” to stay definite and firm on your
path to getting what you desire. Accessing the power of your heaviness
will help you stay calm, solid and strong. Imagine yourself heavy. Conjure
something you truly want in your mind and put an anchor on it—make it
heavy so that no one can move it or knock it down.
• Tap into your “godliness” power to move lightly and in harmony with
the world around you. Acting with a subtle lightness of touch and
quiet attention—instead of a heavy hand—has a more powerful effect.
Godliness gives you the courage to move forward and live confidently.
Picture yourself as a highly enlightened being with all the courage in the
world, feeling calm, strong and confident in who you are and what you are
going to do to get what you desire.
• “Fulfilling the objective” helps to bring your desire into sharp focus and
make it happen in a direct, fast and effective way. Picture what you desire
and visualize that you have already obtained it or achieved it.
• The sheer power of tapping into you’re the strength of your “willfulness”
helps you to move quickly, and with absolute focus, toward getting
what you want. Picture yourself as having all the will in the world to get
anything you desire.
Page 12
Agitating Your New Reality
The reality of changing your life or getting what you want is that you
can’t get something for nothing. You can’t sit about complacently and
expect something to change. When you really desire or want something,
you have to “agitate” or “activate” something else to make it happen.
Again, that’s where the powers of the 8 petals of the Sri Yantra come in.
Take 15 minutes to really dig deep. How can you tap into these
eight powers—smallness, bigness, heaviness, creativity, godliness,
subjugation, fulfilling the objective, and willfulness—to ‘agitate’ or
make what you really want happen? How are you going to agitate your
current reality and pierce a new identity for what you are trying to
create? Write this down.

The Third Chakra
This level is also representative of the third chakra. You can use
the power of the third chakra to tap into your physical and mental
self, where your honor, integrity and power originate. This chakra can
help you regain self-control and become the master of your desires.
When this chakra is balanced and in harmony your knowledge turns to
wisdom and clarity of thought.
Your intuition comes from the third chakra. It’s that “gut feeling” you
get about certain things you do and feel. That “feeling” is very real and
should be paid attention to. Acting as your natural compass, your “gut”
always knows the TRUTH about what you want to create. Tune in and
follow that!
You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect
them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will
somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your
gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me
down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
–Steve Jobs

In Real Life
Focusing again on the eight petals, what do you have to do to make
your outcome happen? What do you have to do to accomplish this?
How you can “agitate” and “activate” your current reality? What would
you agitate/activate to make your outcome or your desires reality?
What are five agitation points or things you need to activate so that you
can move forward? Next to each one list two specific steps/things you
need to do or actions you need to take to accomplish each. Be thorough
and specific.

Influence Your Subconscious Mind…
According to Napoleon Hill, mastering autosuggestion (or self-
suggestion) is the key to influencing your subconscious. It’s the
connection between your conscious thoughts and what voluntarily
makes it to your subconscious mind, ultimately influencing your
subconscious actions.
“Every day, in every way, I’m getting better and better” was what
they said, replacing their “thought of illness” with a new “thought
of cure”! This eventually became known as “The Coué Method.”
Yes, that’s right, YOU have absolute control over what reaches your
subconscious mind, you just have to exercise it! Everything that you
pick up through your senses is first stopped by your conscious, thinking
mind. At that point it is either passed on to your subconscious or
rejected by your own FREE WILL.
It’s important to remember, you can’t just “Think and Grow Rich” or
influence your success by merely thinking about something and then
drawing it to you. Your emotions, feelings and passion have to be
interconnected in order for your subconscious mind to recognize the
thoughts and act upon them.
You will get no appreciable results until you learn to reach your subconscious mind
with thoughts, or spoken words which have been well emotionalized with BELIEF…
Your ability to use the principle of auto-suggestion will depend, very largely, upon
your capacity to CONCENTRATE upon a given DESIRE until that desire becomes a
BURNING OBSESSION.
–Napoleon Hill
Page 17
Putting Autosuggestion to Work For You
Chances are you are probably already practicing autosuggestion to
some extent. You may just not be using it to effectively get what you
desire.
Do you ever hear that little inside voice whispering negative self-talk in
your ear? …Saying things like, “I’m unattractive, I’ll never find someone
to love me, I’ll never get ahead...or be truly wealthy.” If so, it’s time to turn
that around!
Just like your body, your mind needs regular exercise. If you don’t
strengthen your mind regularly, it grows weak and can forget what
you’re capable of.
In the most precious moments of your life, you will become more
human, more uncertain and yet also more alive than ever. These
moments will shred you to pieces if your mind isn’t strong! However, if
you’ve been strengthening your mind, your fear WILL be replaced with
confidence and focus. The LAST thing you need while you are creating
your new reality is a little voice in your head telling you that you can’t do
it.
Write down what it is that you truly desire or want to achieve (As before, be
specific here.)
_____________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
Look yourself in the mirror…dead in the eye, and say this out loud on a
regular basis—this can be daily, hourly, or any time that negative self-talk
rears its nasty head.
This may feel awkward at first or you may feel like you’re lying to yourself.
That’s okay—just keep saying it. Believe in the words…be the words. Little
by little your subconscious mind will start to believe what you are telling it. It’s
in these moments of self-conviction, that you will live your desire or success
Page 18
Ignite Your Imagination
Your imagination possesses within it the hard-core power of creation…
You can create anything that you imagine. You just need to develop and
use your synthetic and creative imagination to give your desires and
actions form.
This is also the imagination that you will most often draw on as you
work towards transforming your intangible DESIRE into tangible reality.
You’re actively using this part of your imagination as you determine and
develop your plan of action.
Just as with the muscles in your body, if you don’t use your imagination,
you’ll lose it! There are various ways that you can tend to the “care and
feeding” of both your synthetic and creative imagination.
1.
One very powerful way is through the practice of
Vairagya or Sexual Transmutation. Consistently
focusing on and transmuting your energies into your
desires raises your vibration.
Page 20
Be Yourself!
As Napoleon Hill so famously said, “Only the man who has found his true
self can know himself, find his best talents and achieve his own high
success.” The message is loud and clear—Be unique! LIVE your own life!
This isn’t always the easiest thing to do, especially considering that
the social pressures of what’s “hip” and “cool” surround you. You’re
bombarded with everything from what to wear, what to drive, what to
eat, where to eat, what to read, what to listen to what to watch.
Going inside yourself, it’s time to realize that YOU are unique in your
own way. You have your own unique message to share with the world. It
could be big or it could be small. There are no parameters around what
you or your message needs to be—your message is YOUR message. You
are unique...just like everyone else on this planet.
It’s time to “Free up” so you can step into yourself and activate your
unique self. No matter where you stand on being yourself, go through
the following exercise to either key into your unique qualities, or in
some cases, to get re-acquainted with your unique inner self:
1. Write down five things that make you different and unique. How do
you view, perceive and do things uniquely?
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
2. Do some social sharing. Share this unique part of yourself via Twitter,
Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Google +, YouTube, or other social media
channel. You can do this by sharing quotes, images, book excerpts, songs
or your original thoughts.
3. (Come back 1-2 Weeks Later) How did being your unique self feel? Did
you feel invigorated, stoked...Free? ...or are you still caught up in people’s
expectations and perceptions of you?
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
4. Slowly liberate your REAL SELF (or jump in completely if you want!) How
are you going to create your new best reality if you’re not being your true,
unique and best self?

Kundalini Breathing Techniques
You can also grow and expand your powers of creation through
building your breathing along with your meditative strength. Some
of my steadfast favorite practices are the various Kundalini Breathing
techniques...they’re freakin’ powerful! ...So powerful, they can literally
activate your DNA.
Kundalini is also called the “Serpent Power” because the three and a
half coils are often compared to that of a snake. When this energy is
dormant, it lays like a coiled snake, with its tail in its mouth, resting at
the base of your body in your root chakra. However, when you activate
the dormant Kundalini energy through yoga and breathing, it flows
freely, in a serpentine pattern, upward through each successive chakra
in your body. This amazing force can lead to an expanded state of
consciousness commonly known as a Kundalini awakening.

Breathe Deep
Mastering your breath can literally determine whether you live or die....
Page 25
Learning to Breathe
You probably learned how to swim, play piano, or even throw a ball
when you were a kid. Shoot, at some point you were first taught to walk.
But I’m curious, were you ever taught to BREATHE? I’d venture to guess,
probably not. Without ever learning how to consciously harness your
breath, you’re missing out...
In order to get you off the path of “tiger-bait” and on the path to
mastering the power of your breath, here’s one of the most applicable
and easy breaths you can master:
Begin in a relaxed position, seated or even lying down, but being mindful
of keeping the spine long and straight. Take a deep breath in through your
nostrils and then slowly exhale it out through your nostrils as you close your
eyes. Take 3 breaths this way, letting the audible sound of your breath fill
your mind. (pause)
Now, inhale with a deep full breath and slowly move your belly outward,
filling it with air like a balloon, letting your diaphragm naturally move
down, as it creates an expansion in your lungs for this prana, your life force
of breath.
On the exhale, expel all the air out from the belly through the nose. Draw
the naval to the spine to be sure the belly is completely empty.
Take 5 deep breaths this way. This yogic breath is called the Dhirga
Pranayama is the foundation to a deep meditative practice. Notice how
your mind and body feel as you draw the breath in and out. (pause)
At the next inhale, take in the breath the same way as you have been, but
this time, inhale a bit more, expanding your rib cage.
Then on the exhale, let it go from your rib cage, bringing them closer
together, then the belly, allowing your naval to meet the spine again.
Take another 5 breaths this way and as your rib cage expands here, check
in on the length of this inhale, being mindful of keeping your exhale just as
deep and long. (Pause)
At this final dhirga breath, continue with your rib cage expanding, but
this time take in a little more breath to fill the upper chest, and allow your
heart center to rise up to your collarbone and base of your throat. Feel this
Page 26
expansion of heart with your body and mind.
At the exhale, let it go from your chest first, letting your heart sink as your rib
cage meets once again and lastly release air from the belly, bringing naval
to spine. (Pause)
Keeping your eyes closed, let the stillness of your being receive creativity and
calming. Quite often, in a fast paced world, we are accustomed to shallow
breathing patterns. Continuing this practice of 3-part dhirga breath, will
instill a habit of deep breathing that will eventually happen naturally.
(pause)
It doesn’t matter what you decide to do—you can run, walk, swim,
hike, practice yoga, play tennis, weight-lift, do push-ups & sit-ups—the
point is to JUST DO IT. This is where you’re going to keep getting deeper
into creating what you really want by building your intention into your
muscle memory. Try this simple muscle-memory exercise each time
you are exercising:
STEP 2: Bring that into your mind and hold it there while you are
exercising.
Page 29
Eat to Live
It may be overused, but it’s true, “You are what you eat!” Eating what’s
healthy and nourishing for you on a regular basis can be just as
challenging as getting in that daily exercise. But it’s just as important, if
not MORE important to creating what you desire at your core.
Being in the “eating to live” camp means eating and drinking things that
nourish, energize and sustain your body AND mind. What you eat affects
you physically, mentally and emotionally. So, why not eat to reflect how
you want to be?
Although it’s also important to eat whole foods for their fiber, juicing
is the most effective way to get nutrients—FAST. Once the fiber’s been
removed from raw fruits and vegetables your body can get nutrition to
the cellular level much faster and expend much less energy assimilating
it.

Reawakening Your Third Eye
The pineal gland, also known as your third eye, is the small endocrine
gland in your brain. This small but powerful gland is responsible for
many important functions within you. It…

Project:Work—Activate Your Kundalini Energy
Now I am going to once again take you through a very powerful
Project:Work. Here you will be activating your Kundalini energy by
using the power of “Spiral Breathing.” Like all of the other project:work
exercises, don’t let this be an isolated event...take this practice and
incorporate it daily, using it anytime you want to give your creation
powers a boost or strengthen your mind and body’s influence over new
reality.
While reflecting about what you would like to fulfill in your life, this is a
wonderful breathing exercise.
Start in a seated, cross-legged position with spine straight and long. Close
your eyes and inhale deeply through your nostrils. As you exhale through
your nostrils, imagine a force of energy in front of you as a golden spiral.
Inhale and exhale again, letting this spiral come closer and closer to your
body.
Visualize and turn 3-D as you draw the spiral on your belly, around your
stomach.
Begin to see your stomach as this spiral, this central force. Let the breath
become one with this internal spiral. (pause)
Envision what you want to create within this spiral as it starts to come out
of your belly button, where creation of your life began when connected to
your mother in utero. (pause)
Imagine it to find it’s way to the gut, your place of intuition. (pause)
Let this golden spiral emerge from your belly, vibrating with your creative
forces.
The Golden Spiral theory states that all energy in creation vibrates in a
logarithmic spiral and undulating through every spiral is the profound
balance of the universal breath, of ascending and descending currents of
yang and yin, of expansion and contraction, of fire and water.
Continue to breathe, slowly, in and out, with your own steady pace. (pause)
Let your own breath be a reminder that it is unique to your own body. What
Page 35
makes you unique and different? What are your own needs? (pause)
Let these answers enter your mind as you continue to breath in and out.
(pause)
As you begin to become aware of these answers, of what makes you who
you are, of what your needs are, begin to notice if any fears and aversions
arise. What are the attachments in your life that hinder you to being your
true self?
Now as you breath in and out, exhale these fears and attachments. Let
them go, one by one, with each deep out-breath. Let the spiral energy give
you strength as you release this false identity. (pause)
Now take a deep breath in, letting the spiral move from the stomach to
your spine, to manipura, your 3rd chakra. (pause) This is your solar plexus,
your powerhouse. Energize your core self with who you are with a deep full
breath into your belly and then let it out with an audible “haaah” as your
tongue moves out and as far towards your chin as possible. (pause)
Repeat this breath and then say the affirmation: “I feel my own
power.” (pause)
Inhale your final breath as the spiral moves upward, along each vertebra,
find the energy at the crown of your head. (pause)
As you exhale through your nostrils, let it out from the crown, towards the
sky and gently open your eyes.
When you are ready, write down what you saw and felt:
