Christie L. Russell

I first came across Wallace D. Wattles and The Science of Getting Richover thirty years ago. I picked up the exercises, practised for a while, then moved on to something else — always knowing deep down there was something real in there, but feeling blocked. At first I thought it was me. And it was — but it wasn't my fault. There was a missing piece.

When The Secret came out, I was all over it. I bought the original DVD — the one that included Abraham Hicks before they were removed, because they disagreed with the direction it was taking. What Abraham Hicks said landed immediately: it's all about the feeling. But even that wasn't quite enough.

That's when I started studying NLP — because I knew it was a mindset issue stopping me from manifesting what I actually wanted, rather than what I didn't want. NLP led me to CBT, which explained a deeper layer of the mindset piece, which led to somatic work and the nervous system.

That's where it clicked: if your nervous system says no, it doesn't matter what your mind says — it's a no. It won't happen, even when what you're saying no to is what you actually want. Why would I want to stay in poverty instead of abundance? I wouldn't. But my nervous system didn't feel safe with it yet. Once I understood that, everything changed.

I've been down that rabbit hole for years now. Dream.Align.Rewire is how I share what I've discovered — for everyone who's done the reading, done the work, and is still asking: why isn't this working?
