Get Comfortable: Lie down in bed and get comfortable.
Close Your Eyes: Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to relax.
Visualize the Ladder: Imagine a ladder in front of you. Picture it clearly in your mind.
Climb the Ladder: Use your imaginary hands and feet to climb the ladder. Feel each step as you go up.
Repeat: Climb up and down the ladder several times, feeling the reality of each step.
Write “I Will Not Climb a Ladder”: On a piece of paper, write “I will not climb a ladder” and place it somewhere you’ll see it daily.
Repeat Before Sleep: Every night for three nights, repeat the visualization before you go to sleep.
Change Your Sleep Position: Sleep in a different position than usual to enhance the subconscious impact.
Observe: After three nights, observe if you encounter a ladder in your waking life.
The idea is to impress your subconscious mind with the feeling of climbing the ladder, and then see if it manifests in your reality.
