So, What is SPEC?

If you saw Wendy and I on Canada AM this morning talking about the hobby of contesting and
how she won her house, you may have heard us talk about SPEC.

Select It, Project It, Expect It, Collect It

Due to the short amount of time we had, we were not able to give a full overview of each step.
Helene Hadsell is the creator of SPEC and she wrote the following article to further explain
SPEC and how to use the four steps in manifesting anything you wish in life, including prizes.

SPEC the technique that I use whenever I have a goal to reach is not new; people in all walks of
life use it in many cultures and professions. Follow me through the steps as I will explain in
more detail:

Select a goal to get started. Some one asked if this technique could be used for other purposes
other than just entering contests for merchandise. YES! This can be used to obtain anything you
desire in the physical, mental or spiritual realms. You name it and you can claim it.

Project it can be accomplished in many ways: See it as already having it. For example, the
Indians see the rain falling on the ground while they are doing their famous Rain Dance. They do
not see the beginning stages of clouds forming or darkening skies-just the end result of rain
hitting the ground. In the same way, a doctor, healer or patient should always see the end result
of the patient’s perfect health. That is, they must visualize the patient not getting well, but
instead already being 100% well. This is not lying to oneself; rather this is commanding the
Higher Consciousness to bring about a particular desired goal, condition or situation into one’s
life.

Expect it, is again seeing yourself as already having or enjoying the end result. The following is
a simple visualization technique I enjoy doing while waiting for something to come to fruition.
It’s a yoga breathing exercise that anyone can use. While sitting in a chair, inhale slowly for four
to seven seconds (whichever is most comfortable for you); hold your breath for four to seven
seconds; exhale slowly for four to seven seconds; finally, do not breathe at all for four to seven
seconds. Repeat this breathing sequence for five minutes’ time. While doing this rhythmic
breathing SEE yourself having what you want to have or being what you want to be.

A certain phenomenon occurs as you do this special breathing exercise. As you slowly exhale
about the forth time, you will become aware of a very relaxed feeling in your arms and legs. You
will feel so comfortable that you will not even want to move. This is because physical tension
has been reduced within the muscles and nerves of your body.
At the same time, a second phenomenon occurs. Your anxieties-your mental tensions-are also
relieved. This leaves your thoughts and mind open for you to program your goals. In this relaxed
state mentally picture your desired end result.

Be positive! Ask for the good things of life. You deserve the best!

How else can you express your God-given talents? How else can you help others unless you
yourself are healthy and happy? You need energy and a life of abundance to accomplish your
best work. This technique has proven very successful for me and many of the students that use it.

Being a Positive person is so vital and important to make this process and life in general a
daring-delightful adventure. I’m going to do more preaching on the subject. First, obviously is to
think positive, do not be negative either mentally or emotionally. Do not dwell on what could go
wrong or what has not worked before. Visualize the end result Only and do not be concerned
with how it will come to you. Just see and feel it as though it is already achieved. The second
meaning about being positive is doing something constructive on the physical level to aid your
mental picture. You have to “get into the act”. You can accomplish this by using the yoga
exercise I shared with you earlier or by depriving yourself of some physical pleasure until you
receive what you want.

For example, one woman kept the TV turned off for weeks until she received (from unexpected
sources) the money she needed to repair her house. Another student got on her treadmill and
walked 15 minutes a day until she got a new car. She explained “I visualized myself in a new
car. I actually could smell the newness of the interior.” She won the car from a local radio station
contest three months later. You may use whatever disciplinary measure you wish that fits into
your way of life. The important thing is that you do something to show your subconscious mind
that you mean business, that you are willing to work for what you want.

In this way you become positive by doing some extra task on the physical level. If you fail to do
the exercise or to use the discipline you have chosen, this is an indication to the subconscious
that you really did not want or care to accomplish what you asked for.

Yes! Sometimes I have collected a prize or end result in a matter of hours but the majority of
time there is a delayed action; that’s when the majority of people get impatient and can actually
nullify their goal with negative energy. Being positive in all areas is a way of life for me now.

Collect it is the fun part and makes it all worthwhile. And the most important is to begin to love
completely. LOVE everything unconditionally: the clouds, wind, stones, trees, animals, insects
and all the people you come into contact with. (This is sometimes the most difficult task.) You
must love and respect everything. This is not physical love, but rather a universal feeling; a
common bond and harmony with all. My Indian friend taught me that even the stones have a
consciousness of their own. God’s consciousness is in everything, and we must love all of it!

AFTER THOUGHT…
I tend to get sentimental when I remember all the good things and experiences I’ve had and
continue to enjoy. I have found the more that you use these techniques in and for all areas of
your life the more insightful you become. A calm, contented feeling will surface when you
realize what life in the physical is all about. You will find yourself becoming more of an
observer and your understanding of people will take on a new perspective. It will also remind
you that we are all here to learn about ourselves as we evolve. We are all ‘Gods’ in the making’
as the saying goes.

GOOD LUCK!
