Welcome to the World of The One Command Thank you very much for your interest in 6-step process of The One Command. You probably have questions about how to immediately begin using this technique in your life, so we have answered the most commonly asked questions for your benefit. How does The One Command work? To fully understand the science of how The One Command works with the science of the mind, it is highly recommended that you also participate in one of the many programs that are offered for more in-depth learning and practice. More information about that will be given at the end of this ebook. The One Command operates naturally in cooperation with how the mind works (conscious, subconscious and superconscious mind) to instantly stop a negative and fearful thought and to naturally allow your blueprint for success right within your DNA to simply rise to the surface. (When the negative thought stops - the good you have within you has room to naturally express). The One Command utilizes creative visualization (light alpha) to guide you into your theta state (superconscious mind) and then Commands a reprogram of the subconscious mind by delinking neurological patterns. Once the new programs have been Commanded, The One Command brings the subtle energy and new knowledge from the universe and all the potential within the unformed intelligence necessary for a new idea and creation of a new feeling down into the body to unwind old programs and rewind the new programs on the DNA level. It is a neurological, physiological event in the body. The One Command uses the mind to create the healing/shifts in the physical body. What are the 6 steps of The One Command? GROUND Put your attention on your feet which are flat on the floor. ALIGN Look down into your heart and allow the love in your heart to become illuminated and allow that light to expand 360 around you. GO TO THETA Roll your eyes up. Imagine going up a pole of light rising up past the earth, the moon, the stars and even the galaxy. Soon you find yourself in the velvet black voice of space. Now reach out and pull back the blackness like a curtain, revealing the white luminosity of pure potential. COMMAND I don t know how I (do/am/have). I only know it is so now and I am fulfilled. EXPAND Now begin to expand that idea into an idea greater than yourself. EXPAND EXPAND EXPAND. RECEIVE Move your consciousness back down into your body bringing all the new understanding with you. UNWIND-UNWIND-UNWIND all of the old programs and Bonnie Strehlow All rights reserved Page 2

REWINDREWIND-REWIND- the new beliefs into every cell and fiber of your being. Take a few moments to receive in gratitude and express thankfulness. Thank you; it is so. When finished, send the excess energy back down into the ground. Open your eyes and come back full awareness, knowing that real change has occurred. How does The One Command work with the science of the mind? The 3 parts of the Command directly relates to the 3 parts of the mind which is what makes The One Command such a powerful tool for transformation. The Command is: I don t know how. I only know that and I am fulfilled. Conscious I don t know how I. This first part of the Command directly engages the conscious mind & puts it into a pause or surrender. Subconscious I only know that I am/have/do. Whatever you say in this second part goes directly into the subconscious mind without being filtered by the conscious mind. The subconscious mind accepts it as present moment truth. Superconscious and I am fulfilled. This third part engages the superconscious mind. It is like saying amen or for my highest & best. It is the blessing. It tells the mind that something wonderful has ALREADY happened and is accepted as present moment truth. A couple things to be aware of. Avoid using the word but as it negates whatever comes before it. It is a term based in fear and is like saying that I d like to have this, but I don t really think I can. The other words to avoid using are going to and will as those are future tense words. Your subconscious mind only operates in the present; there is no past or future. Keep your words present tense and in the now (am, have, do, receive) so the subconscious mind receives clear marching orders that it can act upon immediately. How do I create a Command? The basic instructions for creating a One Command are pretty straight forward: a. Identify a program or belief you want to change b. Identify what you want instead c. Make the One Command How do I word a Command? For those of you who occasionally struggle with how to word a Command--Maybe you are trying to find just the right words that will make the shift..or you know what you don t want, but feel clueless about what you do want. Maybe you were rarely given the opportunity to even know what YOU wanted from life. Or your energy went into knowing what other people wanted from you. Relax! Deep breath! It s actually quite easy when you get the hang of it! Here s the short course of how to word a Command. When wondering how to word a Command, this is what I suggest. Ask yourself What do I want instead? Bonnie Strehlow All rights reserved Page 3

Take some time to sit with that question. The answer is usually not the opposite of what you don t want. Allow yourself to know. You may be surprised at the answers you find. Make a list of everything you want instead. Don t hold back! This is a time to let your imagination run free. Write down everything. Choose something from the list and take yourself through the 6-step process of The One Command. Have fun with it! How do I know when I m in theta? Theta is also called the dream state as it is part of the REM sleep cycle of theta/delta. Everyone goes in and out of theta all the time. It is impossible to not go into theta. If you have ever fallen asleep at night and wakened in the morning, you ve been in theta. When you roll your eyes up, you are neurologically driving your brain into the slower brainwave state of theta. It is called the Tibetan Eye Roll as it has been used by Tibetan Yogis for generation to achieve the deeper theta state. The most common experiences are feelings of relaxed peace, well-being or floating, almost blissful feelings those are evidence that you are in theta. It is more difficult to hold a thought while in theta and you are so relaxed you don t even want to. Your thoughts may wander a bit at first. That s ok. Just like learning how to drive a car, you may feel awkward and unsure at first. Just keep practicing and you will soon be going in and out of theta at will. Why is being in theta important? Creation on a DNA levels happens in theta. In the theta state you are connected to your greater capacity the part of you that DOES know how to have what you want. In theta you are also outside the duality and polarity of the conscious beta mind. You are in a place of infinite possibilities, beyond the judgments of right/wrong or good/bad. In theta, everything just is. Why do I roll my eyes up? You are neurologically driving your brain into theta. It may feel uncomfortable at first because you are using new muscles. Just be gentle with yourself and do the best you can. Keep your eyes rolled up as best you can until you come back down the beam of light to do the unwind/rewind. You lower your eyes then as well. At first it is difficult & uncomfortable to keep your eyes rolled up as you are using your eye muscles in new ways. Just do the best you can. It gets easier with practice. How many times do I do a Command? Why? Bonnie Strehlow All rights reserved Page 4

You only need to do the Command once. Once the change is made on the DNA level, it is done. What you can do is to continue hold the vision of what you Commanded for as real and happening now. You certainly can do the same Command as many times as you want. There is just no need to do it more than once. Why Command for the same thing over & over again, standing still in the process and waiting when you can be moving forward all the time TOWARDS what you Commanded for? Here is the process in a nutshell: 1. Command for what you want using the 6-step process 2. Step out in faith and live your life. Faith is trust without evidence. 3. Take the action steps that you are guided to take. Action steps are required for manifestation. 4. Notice the evidence of what IS working any thoughts, feelings, images, stuff that shows up for you and Celebrate. 5. Pay attention to any arguments (thoughts, feelings, images) that pop up telling you why you can t have what you want. 6. Take that argument and ask What do I want INSTEAD of this? 7. Turn that into a Command. 8. Repeat the process. What am I supposed to do during the unwind/rewind phase? Am I supposed to visualize something? When you are unwinding/rewinding, whatever you see, feel or hear is absolutely the right thing. Some people visualize easily, many don t. Some people feel the unwinding and rewinding happening and their bodies move in circles. Some people don t visualize or feel much they just talk themselves through the process. However you experience is just how you experience it. There is no wrong way to do it there is only your way. What does it mean to expand? To expand is to open your heart and your mind to receive information consciously and unconsciously from your greater capacity (Soul, God, Divine Mind, Source, Universe-whatever word you use for that part of you that is Divine). You do not have to consciously know what that information is; you only need to intend to be open to receiving it. It may come as inspiration, ideas, people, thoughts, or actions. The only way to know what you receive in the expanded state is by what shows up in your life. Bonnie Strehlow All rights reserved Page 5

Again you can only do it right. However you experience expanding is just how you experience it. It may be the same every time or it may be different. Just notice. Can I make more than 1 Command at a time? You can make as many Commands as you want, any time you want. When you are just beginning, we recommend you make only Command at a time using the 6 step process. This teaches your body how to easily go into theta. Just like learning to drive a car, before you know it you ll be Commanding for everything in your life! Why do I say the Command in my head? When you follow the 6 steps, you are in theta. When you speak out loud, your mind automatically jumps back into your conscious beta mind. Changes on the DNA level happen only in theta. What if what I Commanded for doesn t manifest as expected? A common question is I made my Command recently and I m not seeing any results. What am I doing wrong? It is important to understand is there is a kind of pause after making The One Command. A period of time when things may seem a little off or empty. If what you Commanded for is not showing up in your life that means that there is something else that needs to be cleared. By paying attention to any arguments or habitual negative thinking that arises, you begin to notice what is not yet working. From there, write down what you want instead and Command for that. The One Command is a process tool for transformation, which means that you continue to follow the process and see what shows up in your life. Often what you Command for will arrive quickly and other times it may take a while to appear. Open up your definition of how it can show up in your life. The One Command is a process technique. There is no magic bullet, magic pill or magic word that makes it work. It is a technique you use to create your life the way you want to live it. You are literally re-training your mind to pay attention to what is working in your life, allowing what is not working to stop showing up. You might find that you want and need more support and learning about The One Command, and we have opportunities to engage in ever deeper levels listed at the end of this ebook. Can I Command for another person or an animal? In truth, you can Command for anything you desire that is your free will. There is no hard and fast rule that prohibits you from Commanding for another. You cannot interfere with another No harm is ever done when we make a Command any Command. Before you decide to Command for another, take a good look inside at the intention you are holding. Do you want someone to do something because it makes YOUR life easier or safer or more loving? If so, then Command that for yourself, not the other person. Bonnie Strehlow All rights reserved Page 6

If you want something for someone, it is because you want it for yourself. You can Command for the (name of person) in you. I don t know how the (name) in me is. I only know that it is so now and I am fulfilled. You can Command for a peaceful or loving relationship with a person. I don t know how I have a peaceful, loving relationship with (name). I only know I do now and I am fulfilled. If someone is sick, depressed, unemployed whatever is limiting their lives, you can Command that they find what they need healing, a job, clarity. The theta state is the connection to Source mind/divine energy. Theta is the state of divine love. It is impossible to manipulate anything while in theta and there is nothing that can backfire from the divine state. That is a concept of our beta/conscious mind that judges good/bad and right/wrong. In theta, there is only the divine which is Love. Here is another way to look at the question of Can I Command for XXX person or YYY pet? If it is an animal in need of healing or a child or a loved one or a friend that is sick or in pain, and if that person or pet were in trouble, who would stop and say I cannot Command for you without your permission because you have free will. Example: When my grandson was 3 yr old, he broke his arm & needed surgery to set the bone properly. What was supposed to be a relative quick fix turned into over 18 hours of waiting. After we were told there would be another 4 hour delay, I called Asara and we began Commanding for a quick resolution, for his surgery to begin immediately with the best doctor, for successful surgery, for my grandson to be taken care of immediately, etc. By the time I walked back into his hospital room less than 10 minutes later, the medical team was already there taking him down to surgery. They said a spot suddenly opened in the surgery schedule. Was I worried about my 3 year old grandson s free will? No, he was in pain, exhausted and panicking. His parents were exhausted, worried and frustrated. So were both grandmas as we had been there for hours as well, watching this precious little kid in pain & scared. I wanted an outcome in which he was taken care of right away. The One Command happens in the theta state. Prayer takes place in the theta state. What s the difference? What is important about using this technique is not that you do it right or perfectly it is that you use it and have fun creating your life in new ways. Why does it seem like my life gets worse after Commanding? Am I doing something wrong? It can sometimes feel that way. Think of a steam boat rolling down the river. It is heading in the direction you told it to head. Now, as the captain, you give the order to change directions suddenly. The boat has to stop, turn around and move in that new direction. In doing so, lots of mud from the depth of the river can get kicked up. The mud was always there, but you were unaware of it until you changed directions. So, while it may seem like life gets worse, you are becoming consciously aware of what has always been running your life unconsciously. Bonnie Strehlow All rights reserved Page 7

Once you begin Commanding, those hidden parts of you that desire change pop up because they also want to be healed. Think of a group of children. One child gets a piece of cake. The others kids jump up & down and yell Me too! Me too! I want some cake too! It is a sign that what you are doing is working! So congratulate yourself. And keep asking What do I want instead? Keep asking. Keep Commanding, and keep noticing. The more you can stay calm & centered in the middle of changes, the faster you allow those changes to happen. What things can I Command for? You can Command for everything and anything you desire. There are no limits beyond what you place on yourself. There is no large or small there is only your desire. That s it. What do you want? Profoundly simple isn t it? If I am specific, am I limiting myself? In this place of your Greater Intelligence there are no limitations. You take your desires into a place of pure potentiality and create from there where there are no limitations, there is only potential. When you state and I am fulfilled, that is the blessing, like saying Amen, Blessed Be, So Be It. It is statement that tells your conscious mind that something has already happened. Example: You want a new house. You do not have to say a new house, with 4 bedrooms, in this particular neighborhood, at this price, etc, etc, etc. Adding all the details and the how s is coming from a place of fear. KNOW what you want and hold that thought/image/feeling when you make the Command. The and I am fulfilled part takes care of the details. If it was not what you really wanted, you would not be fulfilled. You could then make a Command like I don t know how I live in a house that is perfect for me. I only know it is so now and I am fulfilled. What other resources are available for me to learn even more?
