P2:CHAP 5

The strategy of response is for generators and manifesting generators. It involves constantly responding to the environment using all senses. Strengthening this ability can be done through exercises that ask yes or no questions. When we are able to respond in alignment, our ability to attract increases. The example of Mike, a manifesting generator, shows how he struggled with his work until he began using the response strategy. Through repeated yes and no questions, he was able to find fulfillment and alignment, leading to the success of his unique program. Part two, strategy. Our strategy shows us how our aura is meant to move through the world. In simple terms, it is how we do things. Strategy can help reduce stress and allow people to move through life more confidently by providing clear guidance on how to make decisions that are best for us. Though there are five energy types, there are only four strategies which we will go into depth in the following chapters. As a review, the five design types are number one, manifesting generators, number two, generators, number three, manifestors, number four, projectors, and number five, reflectors. The four strategies are to respond, to inform, to wait for an invitation, and to observe. As mentioned before, each design type has a unique strategy, and they are as follows. Generators and manifesting generators are here to respond to life. Manifestors are here to initiate as they move through life. Projectors wait for an invitation, and reflectors are meant to observe life. Over the next few chapters, we will learn about each strategy and how it looks for design type. Chapter five, to respond. The strategy of response is for generators and manifesting generators. At times, some feel the strategy of response involves waiting, but the opposite is true. Generators are constantly responding to their environment. Responses happen with all senses, seeing, feeling, hearing, tasting. Here is an example. You wake up in the morning and smell coffee. You know immediately, do you want it? Yes or no? This is a response. You're responding to the smell of the coffee. The same concept can be applied to anything. Let's explore further. The ability to respond is similar to a muscle. It can be strengthened. To strengthen our response, a great exercise to have someone ask a series of yes or no questions, such as, do you like pizza? Are your eyes blue? Am I talking to you? Does your oven work? Once complete, move on to this. That question, such as, do you prefer brown or white bread? Is the grass green or blue? Coffee or tea? Do you like cats or dogs? As you answer, notice how your body feels. Does it feel good? Does it make you cringe? Are you able to tell the difference between yes and no? When we're able to respond to answers in alignment, meaning saying yes to yeses and no to nos, our ability to attract increases, creating a larger aura. When our aura is bright, it is felt from those around us. Real-life examples of a manifesting generator, using the strategies of responding. For the last three years, Mike has been working with his family business. He was told he would soon have the highest position as a spiritual coach, but Mike wasn't happy. He was frustrated and frequently angry, and even during online team meetings, he was unable to hide his frustration from his colleagues. Members of the in-house marketing team regularly approached Mike, trying to find out what kind of content Mike wanted to create and discover the way he would deliver his message on social media. What marketing medium was he aligned with? His response was silence. Mike was frustrated, and as the months rolled by, our team members began to feel frustrated too. Mike had been told by his spiritual superiors that he was a demigod. His mother beat this into him. He believed he was sent to earth to help others with his incredible psychic gift, but he struggled to coach others. He didn't necessarily need more educational practice, because once he began meditating with his clients, the visions came up quickly. Mike knew what his clients needed to know. Nevertheless, he was unhappy and unsatisfied and frustrated in his work. The monotonous running of the business soon became tedious. Mike rarely participated in creating content to sell his services, despite charging thousands of dollars for his unique mentorship. Weeks passed, and the meetings took the same shape. He would sit silently, potentially invisible, while others discussed Mike's options. When he did respond, he came across as irritated, aggressive, and forceful, and he wasn't being any of those. He continually yawned, until one of the members of the team got frustrated too and spoke up. Mike, we want to post this current piece on your profile, do you like it? No, replied Mike. Why don't you like it, Mike? Silence. His colleagues spoke again. Mike, can we post it on your profile? It would be good for your audience. No, said Mike. The team member continued. Why not? Silence. Why not? Silence. Mike couldn't respond, he didn't know how. Look, Mike, do you want to create your content? Yes. What do you want to create? The team member pushed. Silence again. Mike, do you want to start a group on Facebook to attract your new clients? No, said Mike for the third time. The team was left floundering, not truly understanding how they could help Mike, and frustrated with all his no's because of the lack of enthusiasm to try any other option. Week after week, the team began to notice that Mike only answered yes and no type of questions, which was a huge improvement, but Mike had still not decided on a way to attract his clients. The yes and no questions were agreed to be the most effective way to get Mike involved and contribute team meetings. Weekly meetings improved, and Mike was finally fully activated in the team, but still, Mike could not decide on how to attract his clients. Now, Mike loved doing short live videos on social media, and unexpectedly, during one of these, his business partner announced that Mike's program was open for enrollment. Suddenly, Mike announced that he would run a 30-day live challenge to get all of his followers involved. When the live session ended, he wrote down the steps of his 30-day challenge without anyone's help. He initiated the challenge, making it more and more exciting as each day passed. Mike was finally responding to his sticking point simply through slow, repeated injections of yes and no questions steadily asked over the time during various meetings. Mike transitioned from a state of not-self and frustration in his work to a place of fulfillment and alignment as a manifesting generator. As a result, he quietly tested a unique program over the course of several weeks. This transformation was indeed sparked by his discovery of the yes and no response strategy when collaborating with others.
