Like most people, you might believe the idea that there is an external power that has decided your life circumstances.

And that your fate has already been written out, and is final.

This belief might make the world appear to you as very real, solid, and unchangeable.

Making you feel powerless and resigned to your circumstances -believing you don’t have any control whatsoever over how your life pans out.

My friend, I’m here to tell you that you’re not alone in this type of thinking; I too used to be tormented by the same thoughts.

But, ever since I discovered the mirror principle and how it works, a new reality opened up for me; one in which I get to consciously and deliberately participate in the unfolding of my life.

And believe me, after you understand what the mirror principle is, and how to use it, you’ll also realize that you have the power to create the life your desire.

So, in this blog, I’m going to discuss what the mirror principle is and how it works

Let’s begin.

What’s the Mirror Principle?

Simply put: The mirror principle explains the fact that reality is a mirror that reflects your most dominant thoughts and emotions.

It reflects two things: your relationship with yourself and your relationship with the world.

If you look at yourself and you believe you’re not good enough, the mirror will reflect that.

Everything in your life will unfold in a way that solidifies your conviction that you’re not good enough.

The reflection “your reality” keeps forming whatever you’re confirming by your thoughts and emotions.

Similarly, whatever your worldview is, for example, now is not the right time to start a business -or, now is not the right time to go back to school.

Well, guess what?

Those same thoughts will be reflected in your reality and more things will happen to prove to you that you’re right.

You might find that you’ll fail to come up with the capital to start your business or fail to raise the necessary amount you require to go back to school.

What most people do when they want to change their reflection aka “their reality,” they try and manipulate the mirror, instead of changing the image that they’re presenting to the mirror -which is themselves.

They do this by trying to control the circumstances and people in their reality -usually to no avail.

To change your reflection “your reality,” start presenting a different image to the mirror.

Become clear about what you want, and consciously choose your own identity and paradigm: how you view the world.

Come up with a statement about your identity and your worldview that works for you.

For example, my favorite identity statement is: I am highly favored and deeply loved.

And my favorite worldview statement is: My world always takes care of me.

When you begin to change the image that you present to the mirror of reality – “yourself,” you’ll start to witness the world unfolding right before your own eyes.

Now that you understand what the mirror principle is, let’s delve deeper into how it works.

The profound truth of the Mirror Principle

Have ever wondered why the rich get richer, and the poor become poorer?

Well, it’s because the mirror of reality does not reflect the nature of your thoughts, it reflects the purified content of your thoughts.

What do I mean?

If you keep expressing dissatisfaction about something, it’s not the dissatisfaction that is reflected, but the content of your dissatisfaction.

For example, when you say: I hate my bills; I hate these loans; I hate my spouse; I hate my job.

The mirror of reality will not reflect your hate, it will reflect the content of your hate.

So, you’ll get more bills, more things will continue happening that will put you in debt, the kind of partner you hate will continue showing up, and, of course, you’ll only be able to get the kinds of jobs you dislike.

What does this teach you?

It’s very important to focus on what you want and not what you don’t want; because more of what you focus on will be reflected in your reality.

Also, it’s imperative that you express gratitude for the little that you have.

For example, even if you only have 50,000 shillings in your purse, be grateful for it and tell yourself: “Wow my world takes care of me, see, I have 50,000 shillings.”

I can’t stress enough the importance of focusing on what you want, and what brings you happiness, not the opposite.

If you find yourself wondering: “Wait, I’ve been doing this, but, it doesn’t always work.”

Well, here’s an explanation for why sometimes the mirror principle does not work:

The delay factor of the Mirror Principle

Have you noticed that you can craft a picture almost instantaneously in your inner world?

Don’t believe me?

Close your eyes right now and imagine yourself as a successful businesswoman having just signed a multi-million deal.

If you carried out my little exercise, you’ll discover that your imagination formed that image effortlessly; as if it was happening in the present.

That’s how the fourth and fifth dimensions work.

But the physical plane -the third dimension- works with a delay, because of the gross nature of matter.

So, it can’t violate the laws of nature and just make everything manifest instantaneously; it takes a little bit of time.

What does this mean?

Well, you have to stay with the assumption you’ve made – your self-view or worldview- long enough for it to manifest.

When you start to experiment with the mirror principle and you’re not patient enough, you’ll notice your life moving in waves, and you’ll have many ups and downs.

For example, when you decide to believe that your world always takes care of you, you have to stay with this assumption long enough for it to solidify in your reality; even when negative situations present themselves.

Because if you start entertaining negative thoughts when you notice the assumption taking a long time to manifest, you’ll erode the good work you would have done.

This rumination will cause your mood to deteriorate and once it’s at its lowest, your manifestation will show up.

But then your reality will start to reflect your previous negative thoughts and attitudes and then the manifestation that presented itself, will begin to deteriorate as well.

So, what does this teach you?

You have to cultivate patience and stay in the assumption and conviction that what you’re assuming will come true, eventually.

Perhaps this is when I need to let you know about the advantage principle as well.

I learned this principle from Vadim Zeland’s book: Tufti the Priestess.

Here’s how it works:

Whereas before, when something bad happened, you’ll let it spoil your mood and let those negative emotions run rampant and wash away all the progress you had made.

Now, when something negative happens that makes it seem like your assumptions will never materialize, just acknowledge the curve ball that has been thrown at you, and exclaim: ADVANTAGE!

And then, look for the positive in the situation.

Trust me, there’s always a silver lining in every dark cloud. 😊

A few tricks to get the Mirror Principle to work for you

There’re three tricks on how to get the mirror principle to work that I learned and I’ve been using in my life.

And I kid you not, great things have happened to me just by simply using these tricks.

So here they are:

The first trick I learned was from Dr. Bruce Lipton when I was watching one of his interviews.

During the interview, he mentioned that one day he was in his laboratory and he was working on something that didn’t seem to be working out as he had hoped.

And just as frustration was beginning to build up, he heard a loud voice saying: “Don’t you have something better to do?”

So, he put down everything and went and watched a movie in the middle of the day.

This stood out to me so strongly, because instead of ruminating and festering in negative thoughts, he went and did something else.

Ever since I learned this trick, when I catch myself ruminating, I simply ask myself: “Cynthia, don’t you have something better to do?”

Then I do the simplest of things that bring me joy, like reading a few pages of a book, cleaning my house, taking a walk, or even watching one or two episodes of my favorite show.

I always feel better afterward, and I get back to concentrating on what I want and gratitude.

The second trick I learned was from Vadim Zeland, in his book: Reality Transurfing.

Anytime a good thing happens to you, no matter how small or trivial, affirm: My world takes care of me; You see, I am loved; You see, everything is always working out for me in the best ways possible.

So, when you receive or make money, no matter how small, affirm: My world takes care of me; when you receive a thoughtful text from a loved one, affirm: You see, I am loved; when something that you’ve been struggling with works its self out, affirm: You see, everything is always working out for me in the best ways possible.

The more you do this, not only are you reprograming your mind to always seek out the advantage in everything, but you’re also standing in front of the mirror of reality imaging gratitude, abundance, and love.

Guess what’s going to be reflected to you? Of course, more of that.

The mirror principle is like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Finally, the third trick I learned was from Florence Scovel Shinn, from her book: The Game of Life and How to Play It.

The trick is to give thanks for the small things, for it’s a sign of larger things to come.

In the book, she mentions that invariably, before any demonstration, come signs of land.

She gave an example to illustrate this: Before Columbus reached America, he saw birds and twigs which showed him that land was near.

So, instead of getting disappointed because you have received less of something you wanted, or maybe not exactly what you wanted, give thanks that what you’ve received is a sign of more to come.

That small amount of money you’ve received or that you have, is a sign of more to come.

Do you now see how this works?

In reality, as in the mirror, you always get the reflection of all your mental attitudes and actions; as the message, so the response.

What you put out, is what you get back.

How to use the Mirror Principle to get something you want from someone

Like Vadim Zeland in his book: Reality Transurfing advised, before you start desiring, expecting, and asking something of other people, remember that you’re dealing with a mirror.

So, imagine that you’re standing in front of a mirror and ask yourself the question: What must I do for the reflection to meet me halfway?

Obviously, you’ll have to make the first move.

Instead of your usual manner of claiming the larger portion of the cake for yourself, wake up and realize that the reality mirror is simply repeating your movements.

If you want to receive something, you must first give something similar back.

Simply replace your give me with the opposite: here take.

Then, as if by magic, in the reflection – your reality- you’ll receive the very same thing you wanted.

For example, Let’s say you need love and kindness, imagine yourself standing in front of a mirror and moving in such a way that you see these things in the reflection.

So, don’t seek love, radiate love; don’t look for kindness, radiate charm, and be kind.

Here’s something that will put all this in perspective for you:

Whom do you find more attractive?

The person who loves you, or the person that is needy of your love? The person who gives you selflessly, or begs you for something?

The person that’s genuinely interested in you, or the one who seeks your attention?

Give to others the very thing you’d like to receive.

But, there is a certain type of person that will willingly use your love without giving anything on their part, stay away from people like that; you don’t need them in your life.

With all that being said, we’re still human, and no matter how nice and empowering this all sounds, we sometimes still get pulled in by the daily drama of life.

So, here’s how you can always consciously wake up, be present, and remember the mirror principle:

How to not get carried away by your reality and remember the Mirror Principle

The way to consciously wake yourself up when you feel like you’re being pulled in by the drama of your life is by practicing mindfulness.

Mindfulness is the ability to know what’s happening in your head at any given moment without getting carried away by it.

The proposition is that you learn to respond wisely to things that happen to you rather than just reacting blindly -and that my dear one is a superpower.

One way to practice mindfulness is through meditation.

Meditation allows you to objectively and impartially observe your thoughts and emotions.

This level of self-awareness that meditation grants will keep you consciously awake so you’re able to change your thoughts and attitudes when you catch yourself drifting off to negativity.

And you’ll learn to wield this superpower and bend reality at your discretion.

Conclusion

When you work with the mirror principle, you’ll find that a new vista of possibilities will be opened up for you, as long as you know what you want and are specific about it.

I’ll leave you with easy stepwise instructions on how you can begin using this principle today -to get what you want, which Claude M. Bristol describes in his book: The Magic of Believing.

1. Stand in front of a mirror. Stand fully erect, bring your heels together, pull in your stomach, and keep your chest out and your head up. Like a soldier coming to attention.
2. Breathe three or four times until you feel a sense of power, strength, and determination.
3. Look into the very depths of your eyes. Tell yourself that you’re going to get what you want. Name it out loud so you can see your lips move, and you can hear the words.
4. Make a ritual of it. Practice doing it at least twice a day, mornings and evenings.

You’ll be surprised at the results, and within a few days, you’ll develop a sense of confidence that you never realized that you could build within yourself.

Remember, as long as you hold on to the mental image of your idea, and begin to develop it with action, nothing can stop you from succeeding.

The mirror of reality never fails to reflect any order given to it clearly and emphatically.

All you have to do is be patient and never waver.
