2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 1 Kristen Howe: This is Kristen Howe, and Ill be your host today. Id love to welcome you to Manifest Everything Now. Todays master speaker is J ohn Harricharan.
J ohn is an award winning best-selling author whos been published in over nine languages. Hes shared the stage with Deepak Chopra, Og Mandino, and Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. J ohns life has been filled with diverse contrasts, which led to his finely developed sense of compassion and sensitivity. In speaking with J ohn today, youll discover a simple tool to profoundly change your life, how to break focus with your problems, how to use your feelings to create reality, ways to increase your self-confidence and self-esteem, and that there are only three problems in life and how to deal with them.
So lets get going. This sounds so exciting. J ohn welcome to the call, and thanks for joining us today.
J ohn Harricharan: Its so great to be here with you Kristen.
Kristen Howe: Its so great to have you here. So what I would love to have you do is take a few minutes and share what you believe were the major turning points in your life that allowed you to manifest your current level of success.
J ohn Harricharan: I like that one because it had to do with once upon a time on this earth, I was born. But besides being factitious here, I think it has to do with an evolution of the spirit, if you will.
As a little boy, I wondered about a lot of things. I wondered why is the sky blue? Of course, nobody could tell me, nor did it matter. Didnt have anything to do with eating, and drinking, and living, but I had a very curious mind.
First of all, let me you where I was born because this will bring a little better perspective into it. I was born in a little village in South America, the northern coast of South America nearer to the Atlantic Ocean. It was a farming and fishing village, and most people just had to struggle for a living.
This is the craziest thing. Ill show you why the process works Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 2 anyway. I was the eldest of 12 children. Can you imagine that? No wonder years later I didnt want to have children because much as it was fun, it was tough for my parents to feed us all, take care of us, but heres an interesting thing also. My father never finished 4th grade, and my mother never finished 1st grade. Of course, years later, I made up for that by actually going ahead and getting a lot of degrees, but I never believed that the degrees make the person.
You know what I do with my degrees? I put them in the bathroom under glass, and I write, Break in case of emergency. The reason I do that is that we, at any point in time or space, wherever we are, we are the center of our power. The universe is there. It might be just a giant screen reflecting to us everything, so I started thinking about these things.
Heres a funny story. I was the youngest in my class because I skipped some classes. I couldnt figure why throughout high school I never had a girl friend. All the boys had girl friends, and I thought something was terrible. Something was wrong with me. Maybe I was too short. In fact, I considered that my ears were too large, thats why the girls didnt like me. But maybe it was my nose, or maybe, whatever it is, but I graduated from high school. Thought it was sad. I looked at my friends with envy and said, Wouldnt it be nice to be walking around holding that pretty girls hand? But that didnt happen.
Then I started meeting some really great different people. This story that Ill tell you later on, this thing that were going to talk about, was based in this fellow called Swami Purnananda who helped me see a lot of things. Remember, I was just a teenager then and getting ready to go to college. He said, You know J ohn, whatve youve got to stop doing is looking at yourself thinking that people see you that way. They will only see you as you see yourself. And I thought, What a silly thing to tell a kid.
But as time went by, I got to college and I said, No, Im not going to repeat the situation with no girl friends ever. I changed the way I started thinking about myself. I broke focus. Looking at me short, tall, dark, light, too big ears, too small ears, whatever it is. And within a short while, magic happened outside. People became Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 3 my friends. I dated some of the most beautiful girls in college and then never wondered how or why. I graduated in chemistry with a Suma Cum Laude degree using these same things. Then I thought, My goodness. These things work. Let me develop them.
Years later, throughout my career, or whatnot, I met other people who sort of confirmed what I was talking about. You mentioned a few of them in your introduction like Deepak Chopra and I go back way, way back. Ive been a friend with Richard Bach, author of Illusions, and J onathan Livingston Seagull, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Og Mandino, lots and lots of people. From each one, I learned something.
I really believe what Einstein said when he mentions something to the effect that all things should be made as simple as possible, and not one bit simpler. And I thought, Here we have all of this wisdom, the wisdom of the world, the wisdom of the universe, if you will, and the people are teaching you about energy points, and theyre teaching you about this law and that law and the other law. Theyre talking about Kundalini rising, and their chakras and so forth, and most people have no idea what all this is.
I said to myself, I will put together a document. I will put together something that will break it down to the simplest parts. Three principles in three minutes and with three steps you can achieve whatever it is you want to achieve. Thats how it came about. Many years ago, maybe 10, 12, 14 years ago, I put it down on paper and its been out there and people use it. I use it all the time.
Kristen Howe: Now I cant wait to ask you more questions. Before we get into those three steps, and three steps in three minutes, I mean, that just sounds incredible, so Im sure people are like, Wait, wait. I want to hear that. But first I want to ask you, you say that all problems are one of three basic problems. Can you expand on that?
J ohn Harricharan: Yes. All problems are a result of one problem, which I will mention after I tell you why I say three, because were so hypnotized into accepting and believing things about the world and ourselves that happens every day, either through experiences, or what we learn from others. So we look around, theres a problem Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 4 of a car. A problem of money. A problem of the weather. A problem of illness. I think to make it simple, as I said I was going to do, break everything down into the simplest steps possible.
So there are only three problems in this world. Any problem you have could be broken down into these three. Number one is money. Some people say, Well, no, not only money, how about career? Well, unless you are just working for the heck of it, youre working for a paycheck, or to earn money. So thats one problem.
I dont think anybody in your audience had that one, Kristen.
Kristen Howe: No, Im sure nobody has that.
J ohn Harricharan: The second one is health. The problem isnt the headache. The problem isnt the major disease. Its all under the one thing we all health and wellbeing. The third problem is relationship. Not only relationship with a significant other, a husband or a wife, or somebody elses wife oh, I shouldnt have said that, or husband it could be relationship with a father, a mother, a brother, a family member, or friends, or co-workers.
So any problem, anyone right now whos listening to this, think of one of your worse problems and you will find its under one of these three categories or a combination of these three. Thats what I mean; there are only three problems we have to deal with.
Kristen Howe: Did you also say that really its only one problem?
J ohn Harricharan: Oh, I was hoping you wouldnt remember that. Okay, actually, the one problem from which all these other problems and the subproblems flow is this, a separation from the source. This means we can forget what we are connected to.
We may forget the source of who we are. We may be hypnotized into thinking theres nothing to that. So its really what I call the power of oneness where we and whatever we want to call this force, the prime force. When we are together, when I realize that there is just nothing or no-thing that could harm me, or that could make me fail, then thats the only problem I have to correct Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 5 because by correcting that, I correct the other three, and then all the other subproblems.
Now, does this mean that I never had a problem on Earth? I wish. I had lots of them that were very challenging and I could hear some people in your audience say, Well, what about this thing youre talking about, J ohn? You had problems? Of course I had problems. I still have them, but problems I think theyre like a school, they are learning things.
My old friend Richard Bach says not these exact words, but something to the effect of you have problems because you need their gifts. Every problem brings to you a gift in its hand. What you do with the problem is actually up to you. So problems teach you to go to the other step.
What would happen if you stayed in 4th grade all your life? First of all, youd be happy for a little while because you know this stuff now. You can get As in all your classes, but very quickly, youd be bored and you wouldnt learn anything, and thats why they give you harder and harder problems. My thought about it, having studied a lot in all kinds of schools, the MBA school, the graduate school of chemistry, and all kinds of stuff, but my thing was, This is really hard. But I noticed that first year of chemistry was so easy when I was doing graduate work in chemistry because I had gone through the problem of that.
So as we conquer and go through problems, they dont end. Im sorry to disappoint people. You get harder and harder ones. You can judge who you are by the size of your problems. If your greatest problem is what car should you take to work today, or is it going to rain or not? If thats all you have to worry about in this world, well, you really do have problems. You are only given though tests when you are ready for them, so I had a lot of tests.
I told you of how I got through to college and graduated and whatnot from parents who never even hardly ever went to school, but there were some really, really major problems.
I was married to the princess of my dreams. We were in our 30s and she was diagnosed with cancer and died still in her 30s. Left Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 6 me with two kids that I had to raise myself. For those of you who didnt detect the funny little accent, I am what you call a foreigner or a foreigner once upon a time. I was born in another country of Indian decent. In an Indian family, if you are the eldest especially if youre a son thats in those days, I dont know if they do it any longer youre very special in that you never learn how to cook, or make up your bed. That was left to others. So when I got to college, how do you make a cup of coffee now? How do you do this? And I learned very quickly. Now, if I had learned those things through having to do them, I wouldnt have had to bother with them as I got older and waste time and that.
So welcome your problems, welcome them. Theyre challenges and they will come to you. Theyre tests. Again, I like to quote my old buddy Richard Bach where he says, Tests, they come all the time. I once said to him, Richard, Im tired of tests. Really. He said, J ohn, the tests dont care. They come to you and they say, Here I am. Im a test. Do with me whatever you want.
So thats problems are like. Thats what challenges are like. Everything thats there is for a reason. Nothing by chance. Not in an orderly universe.
Somewhere in there, Kristen, is an answer to what you asked me.
Kristen Howe: Yeah, that was actually a great answer. I loved that, and I love that its looking at the challenges that come up as an opportunity for us to grow and become more of who we are. At least thats what it sounds like youre saying. Am I right about that?
J ohn Harricharan: Absolutely. Yes because without them, we never grow. Imagine if the butterfly, when it was a little larva or caterpillar, if it thought, This is so comfortable, I like this. I dont want to bother about anything else. Then one day gets into this thing we call the cocoon. Its dark in there and its saying itself, Oh, my gosh. What happened to my green tree, and the leaves, and my brothers and sisters caterpillars? Im all alone. This is one of the biggest problems I ever could imagine. And yet, the caterpillar could never become the butterfly unless it went through the big problem of dying, so to say.
Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 7 Kristen Howe: Thats a wonderful way to put it. Let me ask you this, in terms of affirmations, I know you speak about the power of affirmations in your book, can you get into how we can use those more effectively because I know affirmations are something that are sort of out there all over the place but how we can use them more effectively to manifest what we want in life.
J ohn Harricharan: Actually, I think that affirmations, and Im glad you bring that up because I dont generally talk much about it because theres the old saying like everybody is singing this song, I got an affirmation, you got an affirmation. We all have affirmations. And we say them exactly that we say them as if were gargling. Even we do prayers, like a prayer is one of greatest affirmations you could think of, the ability to do that. In fact, I dont remember what date, but just in the past few weeks, I saw an article in CNN about I think its the Wall Street J ournal or somewhere, I dont remember exactly where but a very credible media stuff where it says there are four major brain changes that occur when people pray. And I could have added to that or when they meditate, or when they use affirmations.
Now, I dont know what our audience is like, and Im totally not for or against any religion. Actually, I dont care which one it is. I have been to churches with Muslims and Hindus and Christians and J ews, and I love them all so long as we dont discuss the silly little things that we discuss. And so I want to give you a story that talks about an affirmation. Actually, this might be one of the most powerful affirmations on earth. Would you like your audience to hear this one?
Kristen Howe: Absolutely. Can you imagine if I said no? That would be crazy. Yes, I cant wait to hear it.
J ohn Harricharan: Okay, I got to tell you a story about it. There was this master teacher, J esus, a couple of thousand years ago I understand. One of his friends had died. This guy Lazarus, he died. Lazaruss sisters were so sad. They sent a message to J esus when he was very sick, sent a message to J esus to come, Please come master because if you come you can heal our brother.
So J esus was doing other things. He was healing this person, and Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 8 that. He was talking to groups here and there. So he was delayed a little bit. But when he got to the house of Lazarus where his sisters Mary and Martha were, he saw they were weeping. They were crying. They ran out, the sisters ran out to him and said, Master, if you had been here, our brother would have not died. He went through his little talk to them and so forth. He said, Show me where he is. The sister says, Hes been buried three days. You dont want to go there. In fact, they were blunt. They said, By now he stinks. Those were the words in one of the few original translations they have, By now he stinks. Dont do that.
But he didnt bother about that. He went up to the tomb. He said something which I consider I use this almost every day with feelings he didnt say, Oh, my God. Please, please. Raise my buddy Lazarus from the dead. Look at his poor sisters. No. He became quiet. This is what I read because I wasnt there. At least, I dont remember. He became real quiet and he said and here is this affirmation, the most powerful prayer on Earth I think. He said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me, thou always hearest. Or Father, thank you for hearing me. I know you always hear me.
What is it about that thats so powerful? First of all, and that will be covered in some of the other things in this little book about it, he was thinking from, he wasnt thinking of. Oh, poor Lazarus. He was already seeing Lazarus alive. He said, Father I thank thee that thou hast heard me. Thou always hear me. And then he turned around and said, Lazarus, come forth. And Lazarus came out, he rose Lazarus from the dead.
So affirmations, and prayers, and meditation and all of these things are separated by a very think veil. One of the greatest things we have at any moment of the day, we dont have to stop what were doing and yell at people in our office, say, Be quiet. Im going to meditate. Dont disturb me for the next 20 minutes because Im going to pray. Youll be out of a job real fast and youll annoy everybody. But what you can do is get quiet within yourself and pick a bunch of sentences that you could say to yourself quietly. Nobody has to hear them. Do that with such deep feelings and then after you do that, let it go.
Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 9 Ive got a bunch of others. I say, I will lift up mine eyes into the hills from whence comes my help. And I feel where it comes from. Or another great prayer that J esus used, he said, I and my father are one. It means that youre connected to the source. Remember when you asked me what that one problem was? It was being separated from the source. Or at least, thinking that we are because we really cannot be separated.
If you look at the story about this guy they called Lord Krishna and on the field of battle, the eve before the giant battle where two giant armies would clash, there he is, a charioteer with his friend Arjuna. Arjuna looked around and said, Lord Krishna, tell me the secret. And I dont mean the book that was just written the other day. Were talking thousands of years ago. He says, What is the secret? Krishna said, You really, really want to know the secret? Arjuna says, Yes. Please tell it to me. These are the words of Krishna. This comes out of the Bhagavad Gita. This is the secret. I know the field, and I know myself as the field. That is the secret.
Do you see right in there the unity part of it? The affirmation that is there? I am the field, I am. I cannot be hurt by anything that Im imagining. If I am watching a movie and theres a lion chasing someone, all you have to do to make that scene go away is to close your eyes and open it again a few minutes later. If youre watching a terrible movie on a disk, all you got to do is change the disk if you dont like the movie. If you dont like the problems, and nobody likes their problems anyway. If you dont like the challenges youre facing, all you have to do is change your thinking. Change your thought. Get rid of those, feel the other things. Remember now, you wont be without any; youll just have a choice of what kind of problems you want to choose.
So when I say money, health, relationship, most people experience one or two. I however, because of my curiosity, had to try all three of them at the same time, losing my young wife, raising my two kids not knowing how to cook, or anything else, so there was relationship, so lost the greatest relationship of my life. Health, she died because of cancer. Money, we lost everything from being one of those remarkable rich young guys once to totally losing everything and starting again from ground zero. Three problems Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 10 all at the same time. By the way, I dont suggest to people listening to this to try three at one time. Do one at a time.
So using affirmations means picking something, or it could be from books, it could be a real nice verse that motivates or inspires you. Do it so many times that it becomes a part of you and it becomes so automatic that when youre starting to face a problem that youre beginning to get scared, you can take a minute, breathe deeply, and say it to yourself. Make up your own if you want.
Kristen Howe: Now, actually you just said something that I want to bring up. You mentioned if you start to feel scared, and you say that fear and doubt are our worst enemies. Is this how we overcome them is by doing this? I mean, how do you say we should overcome them in our lives?
J ohn Harricharan: Okay, that one took me a long time to deal with, and it still happens. I get scared about two or three times a day maybe for ten seconds, and sometimes a little longer, until Im aware that thats whats happening. Until Im aware that Im replaying an old movie. So when I start becoming scared, I very quickly and gently start looking for the affirmations that will fit into my problem. I try not to say that word I just said, my problem. I turn it around and make it more impersonal. I call it the problem. And then I try not to call it a problem, I call it the challenge, or the lesson, or whatever.
Let me tell you why, if you dont mind, I suggest to people not to use the words my problem or my problems. Its like saying my headache, I own it. My house, I have the deed of ownership to the house. My car, I can show you the registration. It means its yours. If you say my problem, you are building a stronger bond between you and that challenge. So change it around and call it the problem. Oh, my gosh, my headache is killing me. No, change it around, breathe deeply, say, This headache should go very soon. It got my attention. Okay, headache, now, lets see. I am a child of the universe. No creator and we can call the creator God, J ehovah, whatever we want to, or nothing at all, just think of it as the source no creator would make a world thats like crazy because I sat back many times and said, You know, God, I can make a better world than this. And the answer I got in Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 11 my mind, It only appears so J ohn. Every little part of it works perfectly. I said, How come? And the answer came to me again, Because Im God. I can do anything I want. I could wear pink socks if I want J ohn.
So thats what weve got to go to. Thats where the source of solutions to these problems are. Get rid of the word my whenever we talk about the difficulty were going through. We dont want to own it; we want it to pass through.
Kristen Howe: Wonderful. Now, when you say and I assume this has more to do with connecting to the source when you say delegate the details to the universe, what do you mean by that?
J ohn Harricharan: Thats a good one. Ill tell you a little story about my son when he was about 4 years old. Lets say he broke his toy car or his toy train, and hell come to me with tears in his eyes and he said, Daddy fix. Please fix this for me. And as I reached out to get the toy train he starts to explain to me how to do it, telling me what to do and he doesnt give me the little toy to fix for him. Now, much as I tried, I couldnt fix it for him because he isnt giving me the problem. He isnt handing it over to me. He isnt delegating it to me.
In our congress somewhere they have a committee called the Ways and the Means Committee. I think that all of us has access to our own Ways and Means Committee. It sits somewhere, maybe in a celestial congress, but it answers only to us, the I am, the me, whoever this J ohn is right now. And when I have a problem, I should do whatever I can to solve or to resolve that problem. When it comes to the point where theres nothing else I can do, you just leave it, delegate the details as to how it should be solved to the universe to the Ways and Means committee. Very important because if we dont do that, wed be doing what my son used to do, he has a problem, but he wouldnt give me a chance to fix it.
So when we do this, the universe starts flowing into it, and trust me on this one, it knows better than we know or can ever know how to resolve these problems. We just use our minds, and thats where these exercises come in very useful, to just see it a little differently, think about it a little differently. We are accessing the greatest Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 12 power in the world in the universe using our minds and our heads as the keyboard. Were connected to that super computer, if you will, that could solve every problem that exists now or could ever exist by a wire made of nothing no-thing just by thought.
Kristen Howe: Oh, thats so powerful. Can we talk a bit about the PowerPause formula? Can you take a minute and show us how we can use that technique in our daily lives?
J ohn Harricharan: First there are three parts to this. I created this years ago after I told you lots of things had happened to me and I wanted things to be simple so that anybody, anyone, even with a 4th grade education could read it and understand, three problems, money, health, relationships, three challenges, simple way to do it.
The first thing, there are three parts to it that can be done in three minutes. There its is very important you dont take more than three minutes because guess what? Your mind would say to you, Three minutes? Okay. I could spare three minutes. You spend more time, J ohn, at a stop light, or in the bathroom, or just thinking silly thoughts. So well give you three minutes. This is the part of J ohn; lets call it J ohn 7. Were all made up of an infinite number of ourselves, I think. Like you say, I want to go and do this terrible thing, and something else says, No, you really shouldnt do that, and something else in you says, Well, maybe you should. See, the infinite possibilities in ourselves.
So you said to yourself, Three minutes, okay. If you go beyond the three minutes, you are going to start worrying about I got work to do. Ive got to do this, Im wasting time. Ive got to go solve this problem. And yet, the most creative thing to do is to just take three minutes, and in the three minutes there are only three steps. Each step takes about a minute, more or less, you could do one for a little longer or a little shorter.
In the first minute, you break focus with the problem youre having. Lets say the problem is, Gosh, its the end of the month and you havent paid the mortgage. Its the end of two months and theyre threatening you or you have a car problem. Or youre going to lose your job, whatever it is, you need to stop thinking about that for about a minute. Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 13
Now, I know how difficult it is to stop thinking about your problem. Let me give all those who are listening this little example. Stop for the next minute thinking about the word hippopotamus. Is that okay with you for me to do this exercise with them, Kristen?
Kristen Howe: Please. I would love it if you actually do that. That would be great.
J ohn Harricharan: Yeah, stop thinking about the word hippopotamus for the next 30 seconds to a minute. Im going to be quiet. J ust dont think about hippopotamus. No, Im not really going to take 30 seconds. I just want to show you what is happening. Always when I say this in lectures, there would be one person out of a 1,000 who say, I wasnt thinking of hippopotamus. Okay, thats statically significant, but for the rest of the 999, the only thing they could be thinking of would be hippopotamus.
Let me tell you why I picked hippopotamus. When I was much younger, like about two years ago no, much, much younger I used to travel a lot to Africa. And one of my favorite places was the Sergenti Plains of Africa. The Massai Mara. Id go on safari where Ill be the animals, the elephants, the wildebeests, of course, in a 4-wheeler because Im a scaredy cat.
I remember this one time I was watching the hippopotamus in the Mara River, and then from there we started going all the way back to Nairobi, and then through parts of Kenya where you see the Great Rift Valley, this land of falling off, and way in the distance there were elephants and lions and wildebeests and giraffes, and notice whats happening while Im talking about that. Your mind is leaving hippopotamus and going to things like elephants, the Great Rift Valley of Africa. Youre seeing wildebeests if you know what they look like probably. Youre seeing giraffes, and notice, thats how you break focus. Simple when you know how. Anything is simple when you know how.
So all you have to do is replace the problem thats bothering you, replace it in your mind with something thats rather pleasant. Remember, you couldnt do it for more than three minutes, or five, Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 14 I suggest three as the optimum time. Thats how you break focus. Why do you want to break focus? Because you want to give the Ways and Means Committee a chance to start looking at the challenge for you differently. How do you like that Kristen?
Kristen Howe: I love that, J ohn. I think its fantastic. So the first step is to break focus.
J ohn Harricharan: Right. Second step, I imagine I should tell them that too, right?
Kristen Howe: I think theyd probably appreciate it. I know I would.
J ohn Harricharan: Okay. The second one is a little different, the minute you notice that you are not thinking about your problem again, you start thinking from instead of thinking of. Youve stopped thinking about your problem and youre thinking about pleasant things, and you start imagining.
Now, you might say, No, no, hes got to be some weirdo talking about imagining. I remember one of the people I respected a lot, Einstein, who said imagination is probably one of the most powerful things on earth. Those arent the exact words, but thats what he said about it in other words. So you start imagining, and herere the question you ask yourself, How would I feel if everything in my life is working perfectly? If whatever it was that was bothering me a few minutes ago isnt there any longer?
Now, I want to give an example on this one also because people need to know how to do it, again, like everything else Ive talked about so far, its simplicity itself. Lets say its a relationship, and lets use as a matter of example a guy and a gal. And you could use a gal and a gal, and a guy and guy, whatever, but its easier and well get through this session faster if I only use one.
Here is this gal; she really, really longs to be with this one person. She thinks she loves him so much, but he doesnt even seem to notice her. Its like, Whats the matter with me? Remember the old question I asked in high school, she really would like to have a relationship with him, or one thats even better. So she has to start feeling how she would feel if she had and notice now, Im not saying the exact person, J im Thomason or somebody if she had a Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 15 relationship that was so happy, that was so divine, what would she be doing? Notice the imagination working. Well, maybe shed be walking on a beach with him holding hands. Dont choose whether he should be six foot six tall, or five foot nine. Dont pick out the details. Remember, you delegate the details to the ways and means committee because it knows exactly what is good for you. So just imagine, how would you feel? You will find that you feel warm all over, you feel good, you feel relaxed. You feel happy. You couldnt do that for much longer than a minute or two. At that point, you drop it and you go on to the third thing.
The third step, which is give thanks. And I can hear people saying, Oh, no. Whats he doing? Give thanks? I havent even gotten the guy yet. I havent even gotten anything. This is a three minute thing and Im giving thanks?
Okay, let me clear this up for you. Why do you say thank you to somebody? You do because that person has done something for you, or will do something for you and you want to be grateful. So give thanks, the question is, who do you thanks? To whom do you give thanks? I dont care. Give thanks to God. Do you think God really needs your thanks, whoever this God is, this big power, the greatest power in the universe?
I know when I was a little boy after Sunday school wed get home, we were taught to say our grace before meals. I always thought about that. I used to forget. I was a little boy, what do you expect of a little boy? I forgot to say, Thank you dear God for the food that we are about to eat. Every once in a while Id say, Oh, my gosh. I didnt say grace before meals. Until one day it struck me that this source, this God, is not sitting across the room saying, You know, my feelings are hurt. J ohn didnt thank me. It became apparent to me that we give thanks not because God needs it, Gods God, God doesnt need anything we have or can do. Actually, God would be happy to help us have some of what he/she/it has. What giving thanks does to me is I give thanks because I need to. It opens up the source. It assumes that things are working. The mind goes into work. The subconscious starts churning out whats great for us, what we had imagined, what we had felt, and things start working.
Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 16 After giving thanks, please do not go back ten minutes later and check and see, Did he call me? This guy Ive been trying to go out with for the past year? Nothing happened. No, dont do that. That is short circuiting the whole process. Its like planting a seed today and before you go to sleep you go dig it up to see if its growing. In this time space world that we live in, things take a little bit of time.
Yes, if you are one of the guru masters, yogi masters, or shambhala masters, one of the great masters in the world and there are some of them, Ive been privileged to meet one or two, and its quite an experience. If youre one of those, you can in a blink of an eye transport yourself from one end of the world to the other. Maybe even the universe, I dont know, havent done that I would say, give it a little time. When you find the problem coming back into your mind, now, just go back and repeat the process and drop it after that. This thank you, this is where you can bring in the affirmations. You could say, Thank you Father for having heard me. You always hear me.
How about that Kristen?
Kristen Howe: How about that? That is so powerful. Its so powerful and I love it because it is, its so simple. Its three minutes, three steps, which I know to some people might seem too simple. So actually, what Id love to do is ask you if you could let us know some of the amazing turnarounds that you have seen from people who have applied this, and applied some of the other things that you teach as well. I think that would really help people go, Oh, this is for real, because it is for real. Ive used it myself. Id love to hear some of those stories if you would share them.
J ohn Harricharan: How about if I tell you one about me because I think I am generally the guinea pig for anything I do. Ive been around on this earth for quite a number of decades. Im not going to tell anybody how many. You might find it on my Facebook page, but Im not going to tell you. Ive been around for quite a long time, and Ive seen a lot of problems.
There was one, not the one where my wife died, that was a traumatic thing, but another one which was actually life Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 17 threatening. I am the kind of guy that I think that Dunkin Donuts is a food group. Its the same thing as vegetables, or protein, something. I love Dunkin Donuts. You want to make me real happy, I used to eat handfuls of what do they call those little jellybean things.
Kristen Howe: Munchkins.
J ohn Harricharan: Yeah. I knew every flavor there was. Id segregate them into different colors, I knew their taste, and I love them. Now, I hadnt thought for many years that there was this crazy thing, if you do abuse your body, if you do not eat balanced stuff, one Dunkin Donut here and there would not cause a problem. But goodness, I never bought less than six, sometimes a dozen. In fact, all my friends used to send me bags and bags of specialty jellybeans. I love them and sugar and me were good friends until one day I wasnt feeling well. I was losing my balance and felt real bad. I felt crazy, like I want to sleep.
Anita who works with me, has worked with me as my assistant here in doing what Im doing, help me put together the PowerPause. Typed it up and edited it and everything else. She said, You are going to the doctor. Now, Ill tell you what. I have a lot of friends who are doctors and people in the family, but I am allergic to doctors. I hate needles, and Id rather face an armed force than face a nurse with a needle. So I said, No way. Im not going. And she says, Youre going. You cant resist. Were going to put you in the car, take you to the doctor.
This is where a real horrible thing happened. I got to the doctor, after a bunch of tests he says, Oh, my gosh. Youve got one of the most severe cases of diabetes Type II I have ever seen. And he went into the other room and he was talking to his nurse. Obviously, the diabetes did not affect my hearing because he was saying, I dont know how hes alive. He isnt supposed to alive. And He said, Your parents had diabetes? I said, Oh, yeah. He said, That should have been a sign. Gosh, I never thought of that, and Im thinking now, this is terrible.
The result of the whole thing is I was losing my balance; I couldnt walk except with a cane. I couldnt drive. I couldnt see. I was Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 18 losing my eyesight, and there was this horrible pain which was a side effect called peripheral neuropathy, whatever that means. But you couldnt sleep. You couldnt sit down. It was horrible. Then to reinforce the negativity, theres a friend who lived across where I lived and I asked him, he is the medical group, I said, Wont it ever get better? He says, Well, let me tell you this, if you do everything your doctor says, it wont get worse. I thought, There is no hope for me. I might as well die now.
Kristen, this is about maybe eight or ten years ago. So I started getting worse and worse and worse, and then Anita who was sitting at the table across my office always worrying now whether this guys going to die. She said, J ohn, why dont you read your books? And I looked at her and I thought, What is she talking about? Had she not been a good friend, I probably wanted to choke her. Dont tell me about my books. Look what is happening to me. What good are all those books? She says, I would suggest, in a very calm voice, that you read the PowerPause.
If looks could have killed, it would have killed her because there I was hobbling around with a cane feeling my way across the room, sleeping about 16 to 18 hours a day, on ten different drugs, including Darvocet as one, I dont know what that is, but I know it wasnt good for me. So this is what happened, but every day or other day, as Anita was leaving to go home from the office, she said, J ohn, Ill say it again, read the PowerPause.
Well, heres what happened. About a couple of weeks later I thought, If I dont read this thing, she isnt going to shut up. So this weekend, I will read it just so when she comes in on Monday Ill say, There. See, I read it. So I started reading it one Friday night and I didnt put it down until I was finished reading it.
Now, you got to remember, this is something I wrote, or that wrote me. Three steps, three minutes, three steps. As I finished reading it, I said, Wow. This isnt bad. Maybe Ill try it. I started trying it that very weekend.
Of course, nothing happened, didnt expect anything to happen. So when Anita came in on Monday I said, Guess what? I read the Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 19 PowerPause. And all she said to me was, Okay, thats good. I thought, Thats all? You bug the heck out of me for so long. I read it. Couldnt you say good job, I know it will work. She didnt say anything else.
Heres the funny thing, I started using the three principles. I said, How can I sell this thing out there or teach people out there if I dont really believe it and do it myself? Remember now, I can hardly see. I could hardly walk. The biggie for me was on Friday or every other Friday when Anita would give me a ride to the supermarket, Id hold onto the little shopping cart and walk around and look through what little eyesight was left, look at people and things, and that was the big thing of the day.
So I noticed after I read the PowerPause started using it, this one day, maybe two or three days after that, I noticed I walked across the room and I didnt use the cane. I thought, Oh, my goodness. Thats amazing. And within a week or two, I noticed I stopped taking one medicine, and another one, and the other one, and out of those ten, I only ended up having one. My eyesight returned. I could drive, and let me tell you what happened.
I go to my doctor, and he likes to sit down and talk to me about these things, so hes late for all his other patients because he cant figure how thats happened. He really couldnt figure how almost all systems corrected themselves from not being able to walk or drive or see, to where in the past few years, I have gone to Cambodia, spoken in Cambodia. Ive spoken in Thailand, Ive spoken in South Korea, Budapest, and those are long plane rides and whatnot. I was able to do that and come back, and today, I think I could do that again. Thats what the PowerPause did for me.
Kristen Howe: Thats amazing.
J ohn Harricharan: One fellow, knowing I have some little Internet businesses here and there too, and I was telling if I were to mention this name, most everybody on the Internet would know it. So I was at one of Yanik Silvers thing where I was his guest. Yanik and I have been good friends for years. I met some of his other top Internet friends and they were telling me that Yanik had told them about me and Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 20 that I was very, very ill and what happened. I seemed to be fine.
One of them said to me very commercially, Oh my gosh. If I were you, J ohn, Id go to my doctor and have him write exactly what happened. How you were given up for almost dead and all of sudden within a short time, a few months, you are now almost back to normal. People will buy this like hotcakes. It will be fantastic. Youll never have to work again one day in your life.
The temptation was very, very great, Kristen. I thought, You know, and then I realized thats not why I wrote this. People have to really want to use it. See, the PowerPause saved my life, made it possible for me to be talking with you and your audience today.
There were other cases, lots of them. I havent documented a lot of them because frankly, you got to try the thing out and see, and if you dont like it, just dont yell at me. I say to people, J ust burn it. Refund it. Do something with it. J ust try it out. It probably will work for most people who have an open mind.
There was this guy and these are, again, I cant use the names because I am very private with these things. You have to just take my word for it that this is true he needed $100,000 for his business which would have been shutdown and gone bankrupt within a few weeks if he didnt find that extra $100,000. It was a very small business. Somebody says, You know, give J ohn a call and he might be able to help you. He called me and he asked me what I thought he should do. I said, Hey, try this thing. Its called the PowerPause. I didnt hear from him for a few weeks, you know what happened to him? He was looking for $100,000. Out of the blue, he got $104,000. Thats wonderful.
I had a guy who is in Australia who said during one of those fires of a few years ago, they have some horrible fires over there every once in a while, destroying all the businesses, buildings, and everything else. You almost lose your life. He said, This fire was coming towards his home where he and his wife and his young child live. And all he could think of where those affirmations he had learned, and how to use the PowerPause, it was like a miracle. It was like a miracle, he said. The fire split, divided into two, bypassed his house, and got the homes on the other side. Now, I Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 21 dont have any proof of this, this is what he told me. I dont think that he would have called me from Australia to say that had it not been true.
There are lots of others, people with illnesses, people with health problems. This is one of the funny one going back to the boy/girl thing. Theres this lady, this was a few years ago, she was about 65 years old, and old to me is meaningless because age is none of my business. Having been alive forever, I think I forgot how old I am. She kept telling me she really, really would want to get this great relationship. So shed write me, and much as I get a gazillion emails, I try to answer one here and there, and somehow I felt bad for her that at 65 she should have what she wants.
So I told her, Go ahead, get the PowerPause, and try it out. I didnt hear back from here in a long time, for months, and then I got this letter from her. I thought it was cute. She said, J ohn, after I started doing that, strange things happened. Now Im married to the perfect person for my life. I thought, Wow, that is great, and I just blessed her in my thoughts and that one made me happy.
Those kinds of things make me very happy when I see people just discovering how to think and how to live abundantly. Was it Emerson who says, With a license of a higher order of being. Those are some of the examples. I could spend forever telling you about them.
Kristen Howe: Im sure. And thats why I was so excited to have you here because I know how powerful this all is. Theres so much more to what you have to share and all of this.
Let me ask you this. I know I asked you to create a special offer for everyone whos here listening to you today. I want to give everybody the link because I highly encourage you to go to J ohns offer right now to experience it for yourself. The link is www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause.
J ohn, now that they have link, can you let us know what were going to find there?
Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 22 J ohn Harricharan: Okay. Youre going to find magic there. What youre going to find there is first you will get an e-book, a PDF file of 100- something pages that explains how to use these three principles. But its not told in a how-to way. Its not like a dull how you do this. Its told in the form of a story, which I think is very, very powerful. Its a nice story and most of it is based in truth.
Remember I told you I met some of those super beings early in my life that changed my life. I dont know why I was granted that privilege, but this one guy thats referred to in the book as Professor Rishan, just through conversation would teach you a lot more than I was able to give you in this limited time. My suggestion is get this thing.
Let me tell you the other things you get with it. You get PDFs and audios that tell you how to use it. It also has a segment which I think is fantastic both as a audio and the PDF thats called Question and Answers, Q&A. You know why I think thats important? Because those were some of the questions that people who purchased the PowerPause wrote and asked about. Its a very simple thing. I never thought anybody would have questions about it, but obviously, they do, and then in retrospect, I could see why they would. So you get the book. You get the audio of it so you could listen to it on your iPod or iPad or in your car or whoever.
And here is something that I never used to give with it; you get the videos of it. There are, I think, 12 or 13 videos, about 15 to 20 minutes each. Use them, mix and match, use them as you feel. Do it a number of times. There are a whole bunch of other things that you get there. I think my books are bonuses, I dont remember. I have a book that became a bestseller thats all over the place, and brought me a lot of joy and helped a lot of people.
In fact, if I recall correctly, Kristen, you told me you read that book years ago When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat.
Kristen Howe: Walk on Water, yes. A life changing book for me when I was living in Maine and I was sort of lost. You know how you in you journey you end up certain places and youre like, Really? How did I get here? And your book, I found it in a bookstore in a small strip mall in Augusta, Maine, and yeah, it was one of the Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 23 things that really sort of reawakened all of the stuff in me that went, Oh, exactly what youre talking about, connecting with source and all of that. So yes, that is one of the reasons.
J ohn Harricharan: Yeah, theyll get that too.
Kristen Howe: See, and that alone, huge. Its such a powerful book.
J ohn Harricharan: Plus the sequels, Morning Has Been All Night Coming, and The Journey in The Fields of Forever, and bunches of stuff.
Kristen Howe: Everything. Youre just throwing it all in. I love that.
J ohn Harricharan: Im a nice guy. I am not an Internet marketer. I hate the hype. I just like people to say, Hey, this is good, and be honest about it and say, I think it can help you. And if it doesnt, you dont have any risk, just get a refund.
Kristen Howe: Right, exactly. So let me ask you this, if someone starts to use the PowerPause today, they go to the link, would that be the be thing that they should jump into first is using the PowerPause?
J ohn Harricharan: Oh, absolutely. Read that or watch the video. You have downloads of the entire thing. Or listen to the audios. Its in every version you could think of. Thats the first thing I would suggest, read it simply as a story. Dont try to get meaning on how do I do this and how do I do that, and so forth. Thatll come to you. And then watch the videos. If you read the book first, the e-book, the digital book, its all downloadable, so they get it right away. They dont have to wait.
Kristen Howe: Even just by reading the story or listening to it, what would you say are some of the benefits that they could expect to start experiencing right away? I know how powerful that is to read something as a story. Sometimes the benefits start showing and you havent done anything.
J ohn Harricharan: Right, thats the thing. Theres an old Sanskrit saying which goes like this, Do nothing, achieve everything. I dont think Ill achieve that in this world, but doing less and achieving more is good. There are a bunch of things that will happen there. Any Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 24 problem you could think of, remember now, there are only three, and actually theres only one. Things will happen to you. For example, you project a powerful personality that makes people want to do more for you. Thats one of the benefits of it.
Kristen Howe: Thats powerful.
J ohn Harricharan: You develop a greater self-confidence and your self-esteem is enhanced. This is great because then you dont have to be like a scaredy cat and thinking, I wonder if I try to get this, if this will happen. Am I going to get that job? Because you will feel so comfortable in your own skin, or in your own way, that youll say to yourself, Of course. If I dont get that one, Ill get one just a little better than that because it is my destiny, or something. Make up your words.
Your luck what people luck seems to change. You ever hear people saying, Oh, my gosh. Thats my luck. It always happens this way. Well, if you keep telling yourself it happens that way, thats how its going to happen. You will find by doing these exercises in the PowerPause that what you call luck will start changing. Most people call it luck, I dont think its luck at all, youre no longer stressed out.
One of the things that causes a lot of problems, horrible things to us, is actually stress. The people are stressed out by daily events in their homes, or workplace. You will now have a practical simple method to reduce and manage stress to your advantage anytime, anywhere because you can do the PowerPause if youre riding the subway or a bus. Dont do it with your eyes closed driving a car, please. Thats not conducive to longevity. You could do it anywhere. Sit for a minute, two or three, and just think of it. Think it.
Youll feel that you have a lot more energy. Youre energized. Your creativity flows. You become more productive. What used to take you four hours to do, will now happen in about an hour to two. Imagine having all that time more available to you. Hey, I tell a secret here, I dont care if people laugh about it, I love cowboy movies. I think in another time or another place I must have been a cowboy. I always wanted to be a cowboy; I ended up Manifest Everything Now John Harricharan and Kristen Howe in Conversation "3 Minutes to Personal Success and Real Happiness"
2012 Live Big Media, Inc All Rights Reserved www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause 25 being an Indian. I would have more time to watch cowboy movies if I can get a few extra hours.
There are thousands of books I want to read that if I dont have the time, I wont be able to do it. Then you look forward to every day with excitement, hope, and joy instead of fear and stress and anxiety. You dont get up in the morning and say, Now, lets see what the day will bring to us. You will get out there and you say, Let me see what Ill bring to the day. There will be excitement in your life that people would be happy to be around you.
Do you have any friends or people you know that when you get around them, you feel you want to die? Problem with them is they call me more than the others that I want to be around. But thats okay too, I help them out with just my energy. You will be able to help your friends and family with your over abundance of energy. You will find that others who could be helpful to you are drawn to you. They may not know why. You create strategic alliances with business people if youre in business for yourself. You start earning more. You start getting more money. Your health improves. Your relationships become fantastic.
Then end result is success, peace, prosperity, and all good things. But the greatest result, I think, Kristen, the greatest result of all is you are in control of your life instead of having your life and circumstances controlling you. You manage events instead of being controlled by them. You make money instead of letting money make you. You experience an extraordinary sense of freedom unknown in common times.
Those are some of the things, and as you see, Ive gone over my allotment of time here. As you see, we can go and on about this. Do you gather that I might be very enthusiastic about this program?
Kristen Howe: I think you are. Well, it saved your life, so that makes sense why youre this enthusiastic about it. You have real life proof in your own life in the fact that youre here, so thats fantastic. I love that. J ust quickly to remind everybody, the link again is www.ManifestEverythingNow.com/PowerPause.
