Unlocking Your Abundance: How Mirror Work and the RAS Can Shift Your Reality

September 04, 20254 min read

We’ve all heard the phrase “thoughts become things”, but have you ever stopped to wonder how that actually happens?

It’s not just “positive thinking” or blind faith. It’s neuroscience.
And at the heart of it lies a small but mighty part of your brain called the
Reticular Activating System (RAS).

What is the RAS?

The RAS is like the gatekeeper of your brain. Every second, your mind is bombarded with millions of pieces of information — sounds, sights, sensations, ideas. If you consciously tried to process them all, you’d be completely overwhelmed.

That’s where the RAS comes in.

Your RAS filters information and decides what’s important for you to notice, based on what you focus on the most.

🔎 Ever decided you want a new car and suddenly see that car everywhere?
🔎 Or thought about a person and they suddenly message you?

That’s not coincidence — that’s your RAS working to show you what aligns with your dominant thoughts and beliefs.


Why Mirror Work is So Powerful

When you stand in front of the mirror, look into your own eyes, and speak affirmations out loud, you’re doing more than just “saying nice things.”

✨ You’re feeding your RAS instructions.
✨ You’re training your subconscious mind to look for proof that what you’re affirming is true.
✨ You’re building new neural pathways that rewire your beliefs at the deepest level.

The mirror adds an extra layer of power — because your brain doesn’t just hear your voice, it sees your reflection, reinforcing self-belief and embodiment. Over time, this breaks down self-doubt and creates unshakable confidence.


The Link Between Affirmations and Abundance

Abundance isn’t just about money. It’s about living a full, expansive, aligned life where success flows across all areas — business, health, relationships, joy, and purpose.

When you combine affirmations with mirror work, you create a daily ritual that aligns your thoughts, emotions, and energy with the reality you want to live. And because your RAS is always scanning for evidence, opportunities that were once invisible suddenly stand out.


Daily Mirror Work Affirmations

Here are affirmations you can begin with. Stand in front of the mirror each morning, say them with conviction, and feel them in your body as if they are already true.

🌟 Business & Success

  • I am a confident and powerful leader in my business.

  • Opportunities flow to me with ease and grace.

  • My dream clients are always finding me and saying yes with joy.

  • I achieve extraordinary results with ease and flow.

Money Manifestation & Precision

One of the fastest ways to activate your RAS and shift your reality is to give it a specific target. When you declare the exact amount of money you are ready to receive, your subconscious begins searching for pathways, opportunities, and aligned action to make it real.

💎 Example:

  • “I am now calling $40,000 or better  into my field with ease and grace.”

  • “$100,000 or better flows to me now in complete alignment with my highest good.”

By anchoring exact numbers into your daily mirror work, you are giving your mind and your energy system a clear directive. Over time, your RAS will begin to notice ideas, people, and opportunities that line up with this frequency.

✨ Remember: the number can shift as you grow. Choose the amount that feels expansive, exciting, and just beyond your comfort zone — but still believable to your system.


🌟 Abundance in All Areas of Life

  • Abundance flows to me in limitless ways.

  • I am wealthy in love, joy, health, friendships, and experiences.

  • Money, health, and happiness are always expanding in my life.

  • I am open to receiving abundance in every form.

🌟 Personal Growth & Alignment

  • I embody my highest potential each day.

  • I am worthy of living the life of my dreams.

  • Everything I desire is already on its way to me.

  • I am aligned with my purpose and magnetize success naturally.


How to Make It Work for You

💡 Commit to 7–21 days — Habits take time. Repetition tells your RAS this is important.
💡
Say it with emotion — Don’t just read the words. Feel the excitement, gratitude, and joy as if it’s already real.
💡
Anchor it in your body — Place your hand on your heart, stand tall, and smile as you affirm.
💡
Watch for evidence — Stay open to synchronicities, ideas, people, and opportunities. Your RAS is already at work!


You Are the Artist That Programs Your Reality

You are not here to live by default — you are here to create. Every affirmation, every thought, every word you declare is a brushstroke of light upon the canvas of your existence.

Through mirror work and the power of your RAS, you awaken the alchemist within. You dissolve the illusion of limitation and activate the truth: you are infinite, abundant, and divinely resourced.

When you look into your own eyes and speak with conviction, you are not just reprogramming your mind — you are realigning with the frequency of your soul’s highest timeline.

The universe responds to the codes you speak. ✨
Your reality is not outside of you; it is flowing through you.

Because the truth is simple: you are the artist, and your reality is the masterpiece.

With Love Always,
