Think and Grow Rich! Study Group

16 Comments / By /

In this study group, we combine Qigong mindfulness practices with selected readings, application and analysis of Napoleon Hill’s classical text, Think and Grow Rich!

The word “rich” as it’s used here is intended in its broadest sense, meaning financial, spiritual, mental and material states of prosperity and abundance. This workshop series will meet weekly through the month of January and session recordings can be found on this post.

This series is excellent for service providers, small business owners, or anyone looking to improve the quality of their professional or personal life.

>>Click here for Zoom registration, and to join us live Tuesdays, 5:30pm pacific time.

There is no cost to join because we didn’t want finances to be a barrier to you accessing this important information. However, once you see the value of this course, you are invited to contribute at a rate that feels good for you. Click on the payment options below:

    Wow! I’m so into this! Back in the day, I read The Secret, and I’ve watched the movie! Focus. Desire. A knowing. Being calm about it! I think all of these things play together, and if we are doing anything from a place of love, we win.
    Thank you for putting this together. I’m especially interested in other thoughts on the topic, and I love your commentary Parisa!

    Thanks Parisa for posting a video from last night’s class. Will check out Amazon for language in other editions, and then decide which works best for me. Waiting on bated breath until next week…

    Parisa! This is so exciting. I have ideas and several goals. I have been pondering and taking steps to manifest, but sure need all the tools I can learn to help. I am grateful to you for hosting and sharing this study group with us. It is perfect timing! Thank you for reading the original book. I like to appreciate the author and compare us to the humans of years ago. We can see how we have changed or not. I also appreciate your commentary! Love and hugs.

    00:19:03 Parisa Shelton: “When you experience fear about not having enough money you emanate a vibration that prevents you from receiving what you are asking for. Even though you have been asking for prosperity and stability the fear you are feeling is your indicator that you cannot, right now, let what you want in. As long as you continue to think the thoughts that are causing the fear, the things you want cannot show up in your life. You’ve got to accomplish the feeling first.” -Esther Hicks February 2014

    00:41:06 Fiona Donohoe: send the mind chatter/monkeys love

    00:45:05 Erik: John Demartini: “The quote you might be thinking of could be, ‘Matter without spirit is inert, and spirit without matter is non-existent. A balance of both is essential.’

    This highlights the importance of recognizing and balancing both the tangible and intangible aspects of our lives. Faith, in the context of our discussion on Napoleon Hill’s ‘Think and Grow Rich,’ can be related to the spirit side of this equation.

    It’s about finding that inner conviction and trust in your vision, even when the physical evidence may not yet be visible. Balancing this spiritual faith with practical, tangible steps toward your goal creates a powerful synergy for achieving success.”

    00:51:17 Jen Primmer: You reap what you sow

    00:59:44 Fiona Donohoe: “where there is love there can be no fear. where there is fear, there can be no truth” ~Harold Klemp

    01:07:58 Susanne Daviau: What about the thought that “auto suggestion” in our modern equivalent could be “self hypnosis”

    01:28:49 Lisa Chamberlin: Thank you

    01:30:44 Fiona Donohoe: agreed, we can’t accept/receive gifts if our hearts are closed

    01:31:48 Jen Primmer: Love to you, P. Thanks so much.

    01:32:12 Jen Primmer: Costumes next week?

    01:32:14 Fritzi Huante: Thank you

    it is keeping our focus on our goals
    17:43:29 From Parisa Shelton To Everyone:
    The subject of money is really two subjects: (1) money, plenty of money, and (2) absence of money, not nearly enough money. Often people assume that because they are speaking the words “I want more money,” they are speaking positively about money. When you are feeling fear or discomfort as you speak you are not speaking of the subject of money, you are speaking of the subject of not enough money. And the difference is very important because the first statement brings money and the second holds it away.

    “I have complete control over my own thoughts… You can find yourself in an endless loop where you explain that you feel negative because of the negative behavior of someone else. But if, instead, you take control of your own emotions and you think an improved thought because it feels better to do so, you will discover that no matter how the negative trend got started, you can turn it around. You have no real control of what anyone else is doing with the Vibration, but you have complete control over your own thoughts, Vibrations, emotions, and point of attraction.” – Esther Hick

    “So many people need you to behave in a certain way for them to feel good. They condemn you for your selfishness. “How dare you be so selfish as to follow what makes you feel good? You should follow what makes us feel good.” At an early age, you were convinced that you weren’t smart enough to know and that somebody else should make the decisions… You could not live in this culture during the times of your life without getting a huge amount of information relative to that, just in the way people respond to the things you do and say.”

    The equivalent of $1,000,000 from the year 1920 in today’s terms, considering an average annual inflation rate of about 3%, would be approximately $21,000,718.07. This estimation reflects the change in the purchasing power of money over the last century.
