The Eagle

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:05:00 +0000

The nest of young eagles hung on every word as the Master Eagle described his exploits. This was an important day for the eaglets. They were preparing for their first solo flight from the nest. It was the confidence builder many of them needed to fulfill their destiny.

"How far can I travel?" asked one of the eaglets.
"How far can you see?" responded the Master Eagle.
"How high can I fly?" quizzed the young eaglet.
"How far can you stretch your wings?" asked the old eagle.
"How long can I fly?" the eaglet persisted.
"How far is the horizon?" the mentor rebounded.
"How much should I dream?" asked the eaglet.
"How much can you dream?" smiled the older, wiser eagle.
"How much can I achieve?" the young eagle continued.
"How much can you believe?" the old eagle challenged.

Frustrated by the banter, the young eagle demanded, "Why don't you answer my questions?"
"I did."
"Yes. But you answered them with questions."

"I answered them the best I could."
"But you're the Master Eagle. You're supposed to know everything. If you can't answer these questions, who can?"
"You." The old wise eagle reassured.
"Me? How?" the young eagle was confused.
"No one can tell you how high to fly or how much to dream. It's different for each eagle. Only God and you know how far you'll go. No one on this earth knows your potential or what's in your heart. You alone will answer that. The only thing that limits you is the edge of your imagination."

The young eagle puzzled by this asked, "What should I do?"

"Look to the horizon, spread your wings, and fly."

MEMORY

TECHNIQUES

A COURSE IN TECHNIQUES AND SKILLS

FOR MENTALISTS, MAGICIANS AND STUDENTS

______________________

For students, improve your grades with less effort!

But this book is also....

The ideal for any stage mentalist or magician by establishing credibility of amazing skills with an easy to follow instructional book on using the amazing power of your memory.

The ancient Greeks would have power memory contests - they would speak for hours.

The stories would be learned word for word ...

Join the power mnemonists!

The author, Andrew Stuart Gray writes ...

'If you are a student then you are really going to find the techniques that are included in this book are weapons in your arsenal of keeping all that information in your head. You would probably have to buy MANY books to be able to find all the information that you would find here in just one easy-to-read volume.

Research has shown that buy remembering creatively not only will you be able to remember AND recall more with less effort, with more fun and interest, but you will ALSO start to THINK more creatively and be able to connect information in such ways that you can answer questions more fluidly.

But memories shouldn't just be used for remembering facts, you can also achieve amazing stunts with very little effort! How? Read on ....

One of the most important parts of stage magic is to convince the audience that you have gifts and talents beyond that which are naturally available to the average human. And even though most of the time they know there must be some trick to it, jaw dropping power will have them eating out of your hand.

A stage mentalist often relies on tricks, plants and words, though the amazing Derren Brown has blown the lid off of psychological mind bending principles. What is revealed on every page of this book adds to this new tradition of pure skill, which cannot be faked or duplicated, and yet is so simple it is a joy to both show and learn.

After just five minutes of reading the first few pages of this book you will have the skills to memorise and recall a list of 10 items forwards, backwards, or at random, and with very little practice be able to do so in under 20 seconds. But that's not all, you will soon be able to move on to memorise

100's and then 1000's of pieces of information

- whether it be the patter to a new trick, complex moves or the order of the tricks to your stage performance and no longer have to refer to written notes. Perhaps even the memorization of a deck of cards. Or even more! You can even develop this to card counting ... - the bain of every casino.

Look at what you will be able to do

Study and learn quicker

Read a book JUST ONCE and be able to recall the text months, even years later

Remember important key dates

Memorize incredibly long strings of numbers

Memorize a deck of cards - and learn ideas for magic tricks using this knowledge

Remember complex directions given to you by complete strangers

Once you have become familiar with all of these techniques you will be able to choose the most appropriate for the job in hand and amaze those watching. Even in the smallest of gatherings the I have had people beg me to tell them the secrets.

This is not a heavy academic book! It is printed so that you will be able to take your time over it, at your own pace. Yet you can read it in one evening.

Similar materials take a long and unnecessary time to explain what are very simple and ancient principles - don't be fooled by adverts on the web that claim that they are new!

This book crams 8 different techniques, including additional information on study skills, and suggestions for your power memory to start working, and how to use a unique and never before revealed technique of virtual mindmapping* - which I personally use for memorizing huge amounts of information without ever lifting a pen!

I have personally trained so many people in how to use their powerful memory that I am convinced that everyone has genius locked away inside - and this book is as a direct result of years of people asking me to write it down for them.

From 8 year olds to the elderly - I take the greatest pleasure teaching people with dyslexia and demonstrating that they have the most powerful memories of all.

You will be amazed at just how powerful your mind really is!

Included in this book are

Welcome and introduction

Systems 1-8

Virtual Mindmap®*

SUGGESTED USES FOR YOUR MEMORY

Lets start easy ...

What about directions?

Telephone numbers

Dates of history

Card memorization techniques

Tips on foreign languages

Beginning to think like a genius!

Studying

Timings - and how to review effectively.

This last section is crucial and often overlooked in memory books - but in fact it is very important when retaining information for long term memory and an understanding of the principles involved are important.

Even if you are familiar with one or two of these techniques already, I almost guarantee that you will not have come across virtual mindmapping before, anywhere. It uses every single one of the techniques to produce a rich learning and remembering environment.

STRESS AND THE BODY

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 01:02:00 +0000

Hot Reactors
Chronic stress can lead to poor health. Some people tend to react to stressors with an all out physiological effort that takes a toll on their health. We call these people hot reactors. If you notice that you get angry easily (you are often anxious or depressed, you urinate frequently, you experience constipation or diarrhea more than usual, or you experience nausea or vomiting), you may be a hot reactor. In that case, you may want to seek regular medical examinations to identify illnesses when they can be easily cured or contained and learn to use stress management techniques and strategies.

Psychosomatic Disease
People have died or have become ill from severe stress, when there seems nothing physically wrong with them. Some illnesses are easily seen as being physical, while others are assuredly recognized as being mental, yet it is impossible to deny the interaction between the mind and the body and the effects of one upon the other. The mind makes the body susceptible. These conditions are called psychosomatic. Psychosomatic disease is not “all in the mind”, contrary to popular belief, but involves both mind and body. Psychosomatic disease is real, can be diagnosed, and is manifested physically. However, it also has a component in the mind, although it is not easily measured. That common cold may be a function of psychological stress, which decreases the effectiveness of the immunological system and results in the body being more vulnerable to cold viruses. That cold may also be caused by psychological stress using up particular vitamins in the body and leading to decreased effectiveness in combating viruses. Psychogenic refers to a physical disease caused by emotional stress. Asthma is an example of this. Somatogenic psychosomatic disease occurs when the mind increases the body's susceptibility to some disease causing microbes or some natural degenerative process. Examples are rheumatoid arthritis and cancer.

Stress-related Conditions and Illnesses
Hypertension
This is the excessive and damaging pressure of the blood against the walls of the arterial blood vessels. There are several causes of hypertension. Excessive sodium (salt) intake may cause hypertension in those genetically susceptible. It can also be caused by a kidney disease, a narrow opening in the aorta (main blood vessel), and the use of contraceptives. However, these conditions cause only an estimated ten percent of all hypertension. Approximately 90 percent of hypertension is termed essential hypertension and has no known cause.

Forty-one percent of the United States population aged twenty to seventy-four are hypertensive, although many of these people do not even know it, since hypertension occurs without signs and symptoms. Since blood pressure increases during stress, the relationship between stress and hypertension has long been suspected. Recognizing this relationship, educational programs for hypertensives have included stress management. Although hypertension can be controlled with medication, the possibility of disturbing side effects from these drugs has led to attempts to control hypertension in other ways. Since obesity, cigarette smoking, and lack of exercise correlates to hypertension, programs involving weight control, smoking withdrawal, and exercise, as well as decreased ingestion of salt, have all been used to respond to high blood pressure.

Stroke
Apoplexy (also called stroke) is a lack of oxygen in the brain resulting from a blockage or rupture of one of the arteries that supply it. Stroke is related to hypertension, which may also result in a cerebral hemorrhage. Stroke has been linked with high blood pressure, diet and stress.

Coronary Heart Disease
Heart attack kills more Americans than any other single cause of death. That stress is related to coronary heart disease is not surprising when we consider the physiological mechanisms that stress brings into play: accelerated heart rate, increased blood pressure, increased serum cholesterol, and fluid retention resulting in increased blood volume. Further, the stereotypical heart attack victim has been the highly stressed, overworked, overweight businessperson with a cigarette dangling from his lips and a martini in his hand.

Ulcers
Ulcers are fissures or cuts in the wall of the stomach and other parts of the intestines. For many years, it was thought that stress led to the excessive amounts of hydrochloric acid being produced in the stomach and the intestines. One theory explaining the effects of stress on the development of ulcers pertains to the mucous coating that lines the stomach. The theory states that, during chronic stress, secretions cause the stomach lining to constrict. This, in turn, results in a shutting down of mucosal production. Without the protective barrier, hydrochloric acid breaks down the tissue and can even reach blood vessels, resulting in bleeding ulcer.
Many cases of ulcers are caused by a bacterium called H. pylori. It is believed that H. pylori inflames the gastrointestinal lining, stimulates acid production, or both. Another major cause of ulcers is the ingestion of aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, like ibuprofen and naproxenan piroxicam. These drugs promote bleeding in the stomach and can wear away its protective lining. Still, stress can exacerbate the conditions in the digestive tract to make ulcers more likely to occur. Stress results in an increase in hydrochloric acid in the intestines and stomach, and a decreased effectiveness of the immune system that is marshaled to combat the invasion by H. pylori.

Migraines
Migraine headaches are the result of a constriction and dilation of the carotid arteries of one side of the head. The constriction phase, called the pre13 attack or prodome, is often associated with light or noise sensitivity, irritability, and a flushing or pallor of the skin. When the dilation of the arteries occurs, certain chemicals stimulate adjacent nerve endings, causing pain. The migraine is not just a severe headache. It is a unique type of headache with special characteristics, and it usually involves just one side of head. The prodome consists of warning signs, such as flashing lights, differing
patterns, or some dark spaces. Migraines are a sign and symptom of a lifestyle gone awry. Signs and symptoms should be treated with either medication or meditation without eliminating the underlying cause. Rather than care for the migraine after it strikes, why not prevent it in the first place by changing your lifestyle?

Cancer
Although many people do not realize it, both the prevention and the treatment of cancer are suspected of being related to stress. Some researchers believe that chronic stress results in a chronic inability of the immune response to prevent the multiplication of mutant cells, which some believe are present but normally controlled in most people. The role of stress in the development of cancer is still being debated. Since cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US, research in this area has been and is presently being conducted. Further, some support has been provided for the cancer-prone personality type. The cancer-prone person has been described as holding resentment, with the inability to forgive, using self-pity, lacking the ability to develop and maintain meaningful interpersonal relationships, and having poor self-image.

Tension Headaches
Headaches may be caused by muscle tension accompanying stress. This muscle tension may include the forehead, jaw, or neck. Once the headache occurs, it tends to fuel itself. It is difficult to relax when you're in pain. Treatment for tension headaches may include medication, heat on tense muscles, or massage. Others have also reported on the effectiveness of relaxation training for control and prevention of tension headache.

Allergies And Asthma
Some medical scientists, unable to identify any antigen in many asthmatics, have argued that allergies are emotional diseases. This was shown in an experiment in which a woman who was allergic to horses began to wheeze when shown only a picture of a horse, another woman who was allergic to fish had an allergic reaction to a toy fish and empty fishbowl' and others reacted to uncontaminated air when suspecting it contained pollen. Crying-induced asthma, brought on during stressful events is another example. Some have concluded, therefore, that the effects of stress on the immune system either decrease our ability to withstand an antigen or, even in the absence of an antigen, can lead to allergic-like response. Some allergy sufferers
-- in particular, asthmatics -- are being taught relaxation techniques and breathing control exercises to enable them to control their physiology during allergic reactions.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD is a condition that develops in people who have experienced an extreme psychological and/or physical event that is interpreted as particularly distressing. PTSD is defined as:
· A threat to one's life or serious injury or being subject to horror with intense fear and helplessness
· Recurrent flashbacks, repeated memories and emotions, dreams, nightmares, illusions or hallucinations related to traumatic events from which one is often amnesic
· Trying to avoid feelings, thoughts, or places that may trigger associations
with trauma
· Poor sleep, poor appetite
· Self-recrimination
· Feeling jumpy, irritable, or emotionally explosive or "spaced out"
· Having difficulty concentrating, socializing, or working
Among the characteristics of those who have successfully managed PTSD are that they had supportive relationships with family and friends, they did not dwell on the trauma, they had personal faith/religion/hope, and they had a sense of humor.

Other Conditions
Stress has been shown to affect other health conditions, as well. Stress can lead pregnant women to miscarry. In a study, 70 percent of women who had miscarriage had at least one stressful experience four to five months before the miscarriage, as compared with 52 percent who did not have one. Even sports injuries occur more frequently in athletes who have experienced stressors and who do not have the resources and skills to cope well with stress. With high stress and poor coping resources, the result is increased muscle tension and attention redirected toward the stress and away from the event.

Your Recommended Daily Allowance for Relaxation

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 13:12:00 +0000

Your Recommended Daily Allowance for Relaxation

Stress is the curse of living in modern times. Everyone suffers from stress. And the stress we suffer takes a heavy toll on our bodies, emotions and minds.

Feeling stressed out, worn out by fatigue or just simply having a miserable day, the best thing to do is relax.

Watching television may be a form of relaxation for some, but is not a recommended method by experts. When we watch TV we are bombarded with commercials, ads, sounds and images. So how do we achieve relaxation? If there are thousands of ways we can get stressed, one of them is not meeting deadlines, there are also many ways we can relax.

In recent studies, experts have determined that heart disease is linked to anger and irritability is linked to mental stress. Too much stress brings about ischemia that can lead to or cause a heart attack. Relaxation takes on added importance in light of this matter. Managing your anger and attitude is significant to heart health, and relaxation can help you manage stress.

One way of relaxation is transcendental meditation. Recent studies have also shown that this method might reduce artery blockage, which is a major cause for heart attack and stroke. People practice transcendental meditation by repeating uttering soothing sounds while meditating, this is to achieve total relaxation. The researchers found that practitioners of transcendental meditation significantly reduced the thickness of their arterial wall compared with those who didn't practice transcendental meditation.

Another study on another method of relaxation, acupuncture, seems to reduce high blood pressure by initiating several body functions for the brain to release chemical compounds known as endorphins. Endorphin helps to relax muscles, ease panic, decrease pain, and reduce anxiety.

Yoga is also another method for relaxation and may also have similar effects like acupuncture. In another study, participants were subjected to several minutes of mental stress. Then they were subjected to various relaxation techniques, such as listening to nature sounds or classical music. Only those who did Yoga significantly reduced the time it took for their blood pressures to go back to normal. Yoga is a form of progressive relaxation.

Breathing is one of the easiest methods to relax. Breathing influences alamost all aspects of us, it affects our mind, our moods and our body. Simply focus on your breathing, after some time you can feel its effects right away.

There are several breathing techniques that can help you reduce stress.

Another easy way to achieve relaxation is exercise. If you feel irritated a simple half-hour of exercise will often settle things down. Although exercise is a great way to lose weight, it does not show you how to manage stress appropriately. Exercise should also be used in conjunction with other exercise method.

One great way of relaxation is getting a massage. To gain full relaxation, you need to totally surrender to the handling and touch of a professional therapist.

There are several types of massages that also give different levels of relaxation.

Another method of relaxation is Biofeedback. The usual biofeedback-training program includes a 10-hour sessions that is often spaced one week apart.

Hypnosis is one controversial relaxation technique. It is a good alternative for people who think that they have no idea what it feels like to be relaxed. It is also a good alternative for people with stress related health problems.SelfHypnosis eCourse

Drugs are extreme alternatives to relaxation. They are sometimes not safe and are not effective like the other relaxation methods. This method is only used by trained medical professionals on their patients.

These relaxation techniques are just some of the ways you can achieve relaxation. Another reason why we need to relax, aside from lowering blood pressure in people and decreasing the chances of a stroke or a heart attack, is because stress produces hormones that suppress the immune system, relaxation gives the immune system time to recover and in doing so function more efficiently.

Relaxation lowers the activities within the brains' limbic system; this is the emotional center of our brain.

Furthermore, the brain has a periodic need for a more pronounced activity on the right-hemisphere. Relaxation is one way of achieving this.

Relaxation can really be of good use once a relaxation technique is regularly built into your lifestyle. Choose a technique that you believe you can do regularly.

How To Become an Ideal Leader

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 21:34:00 +0000

Image by Taylor.McBride via Flickr

When you are at work, do you get frustrated because things don't seem to be happening the way they’re supposed to be? You see people milling around but nothing gets accomplished. And in the daily hustle and bustle, do you feel that your goals remain just that – goals. Then maybe its time for you to stand up and do something about it.

Most people are content just to stand around listening for orders. And it isn't unusual to adopt a follow-the-leader mentality. But maybe, somewhere inside of you, you feel the desire to make things happen – to be the head, not the tail. Then maybe leadership just suits you fine.

Some people believe that great leaders are made, not born. Yes, it may be true that some people are born with natural talents. However, without practice, without drive, without enthusiasm, and without experience, there can be no true development in leadership.

You must also remember that good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their natural skills. This takes a commitment to constantly improve in whatever endeavor a person chooses.

First of all, let's define leadership. To be a leader, one must be able to influence others to accomplish a goal, or an objective. He contributes to the organization and cohesion of a group.

Contrary to what most people believe, leadership is not about power. It is not about harassing people or driving them using fear. It is about encouraging others towards the goal of the organization. It is putting everyone on the same page and helping them see the big picture of the organization. You must be a leader not a boss.

First of all, you have to get people to follow you. How is this accomplished?

People follow others when they see a clear sense of purpose. People will only follow you if they see that you know where you are going. Remember that bumper sticker? The one that says, don't follow me, I'm lost too? The same holds true for leadership. If you yourself do not know where you're headed to, chances are people will not follow you at all.

You yourself must know the vision of the organization. Having a clear sense of hierarchy, knowing who the bosses are, who to talk to, the organization's goals and objectives, and how the organization works is the only way to show others you know what you are doing.

Being a leader is not about what you make others do. It's about who you are, what you know, and what you do. You are a reflection of what you're subordinates must be.

Studies have shown that one other bases of good leadership is the trust and confidence your subordinates have of you. If they trust you they will go through hell and high water for you and for the organization.

Trust and confidence is built on good relationships, trustworthiness, and high ethics.

The way you deal with your people, and the relationships you build will lay the foundation for the strength of your group. The stronger your relationship, the stronger their trust and confidence is in your capabilities.

Once you have their trust and confidence, you may now proceed to communicate the goals and objectives you are to undertake.

Communication is a very important key to good leadership. Without this you can not be a good leader. The knowledge and technical expertise you have must be clearly imparted to other people.

Also, you can not be a good leader and unless you have good judgment. You must be able to assess situations, weigh the pros and cons of any decision, and actively seek out a solution.

It is this judgment that your subordinates will come to rely upon. Therefore, good decision-making is vital to the success of your organization.

Leaders are not do-it-all heroes. You should not claim to know everything, and you should not rely upon your skills alone.

You should recognize and take advantage of the skills and talents your subordinates have. Only when you come to this realization will you be able to work as one cohesive unit.

Remember being a leader takes a good deal of work and time. It is not learned overnight. Remember, also, that it is not about just you. It is about you and the people around you.

So, do you have the drive and the desire to serve required of leaders? Do you have the desire to work cooperatively with other people? Then start now. Take your stand and be leader today.

My Computer is Faster than your Computer!

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 03:23:00 +0000

You may have the fastest Computer in the world. But, mine is faster!

About now you will probably be saying this guy is out of his mind. Not Really, I am just talking about a different type of computer. One that is completely organic.Your brain!

Our computers run at fantastic speeds these days. We have the ability to gain tremendous amounts information in just a fraction of a second. And our brain ( WOW! What a device to have at our fingertips!) It can assimilate and transfer information much faster than the fastest computer.

But what restricts information flow coming from your computer and getting into your Brain? Well, most of us read, or maybe you have learned to speed-read. But these are still too restrictive for you to be effective.

What would you do if I told you that there is a way to open that restriction up, so that you heighten your information flow? Would you be interested in doing that? What if I told you that you would also gain memory, mental clarity, enhanced decision making powers, and more,… as added benefits that simply come along for the ride?

This training has only been available to the wealthy,… until now.

You too, can now have the FASTEST Computer…

Serving Up Guilt

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 22:58:00 +0000

Image via Wikipedia

By Lynn Margolies, Ph.D.

Alongside love, food, and perhaps gifts, guilt is usually on the menu when adult children visit their parents on holidays and other occasions — and we’ve all tasted it. “Why can’t you stay longer? You’re too busy now for me?” mom said to Eli as he kissed her goodbye.

And so it goes when guilt is used unconsciously to get loved ones to do what we want. Even though this method doesn’t always produce the intended effects, we may resort to it when feeling helpless in the face of longing and disappointment. This approach to relationships disregards boundaries and mutuality, and implies lack of faith that others would give of their own free will. Emotional manipulation through guilt can be costly - breeding resentment, limiting authentic engagement, and hijacking initiative and genuine desire.

Sometimes trying to make others feel bad when they’ve hurt us is actually an effort to evoke empathy so they experience what we feel. When understood as such and not taken as retaliation, this can be powerfully healing. Alternatively, the motivation behind wanting others to feel bad may be punitive - to even the score. Though this may seem fair at the time, winning the battle of vengeance is a defeat for the relationship and perpetuates using combat to manage hurt and anger.

It’s human to want justice. When we’re wronged, we feel vindicated knowing those who hurt us suffer too - but where does it end?

Feeling the pain of having hurt someone and taking meaningful steps to make amends, or learn, don’t necessarily go hand in hand. Guilt can operate effectively as an internal signal that jump-starts reparation. However, when guilt has gone awry it takes center stage and can prompt emotional paralysis and self-absorption in place of growth and learning. The origin of guilt was for development of conscience, to remind us of our values and keep us civilized.

Brittany, a bright, thoughtful young woman, sought therapy to confess something she did as a teen that she knew was reprehensible. She was haunted with shame and remorse, often feeling unworthy of living - seemingly asking whether she deserved to suffer indefinitely for this transgression. I noticed my own internal conflict as I supported her letting go of guilt and shame. Was I thereby condoning her behavior?

I reminded myself that excessive or chronic guilt interferes with judgment and decision-making. Counter-intuitively, when guilt is used to punish oneself or others it’s not an effective deterrent and fails to promote reparation. That is not to say that behavior should be free of consequence. But guilt-induced constraint can backfire, exacerbating impulses and evoking prohibited behaviors in a compartmentalized form.

Fortunately, guilt also serves as a barometer of inner truth - a trip wire set in motion by self-deception. A conspicuous example of this is the finding that “yes” to the single question, “Do you feel guilty about your drinking?” is a valid measure of a potential alcohol problem on a widely used diagnostic test for this purpose, even when objective data, such as alcohol quantity or frequency, may suggest otherwise.

Guilt over being honest with oneself is different from imposed guilt. Imposed guilt is characterized by feeling bound to others and limiting autonomy. It can be hard to distinguish the two. Imposed guilt-trippers hold others responsible, using suffering as leverage in unconscious emotional blackmail, and escaping accountability. Self-generated guilt can operate similarly, but the obligation is imagined and projected—i.e., feeling guilty for saying no out of fear of disappointing someone. Such guilt usually originates from actual childhood experiences in which boundaries are confused and children are used to manage adults’ emotional states.

The ability to bear disappointment depends on how we interpret the actions of others. For example, Eli’s mom personalized his leaving, feeling rebuffed and inferring intent based on her own feelings. She assumed, “he’s leaving because I’m not important to him” vs. “he has a full life of his own now.” Had she construed his leaving benevolently she might have said, “I’ve missed you and am always so happy seeing you,” containing feelings of loss and expressing love positively.

How can we tell if the guilt in our lives is pathological? The answer lies in how it affects our relationships, what lesson is learned, and whether it inspires constructive change. Healthy guilt is conscience with an action plan beyond suffering.

In sports, occasionally a good player makes a bad play late in the game, costing his team victory. In the post-game interview, it’s clear how upset he feels for having let his teammates down. But, at the same time, he knows the sincerest apology is recovering so he can score again. In a parallel way, his teammates pat him on the back telling him not to worry. “Just get back in and help us win.”

If you ask people why they are not rich they will come up with dozens of "reasons" why they cannot seem to break through the barrier of struggle and survival to achieve riches.

Whether you believe it or not, the masses have chosen poverty, regardless of the fact that they wish they had abundance.

How do I know this? Because I truly believed the way to success and riches was one of struggle and hard work. This belief system seldom got me where I wanted to go and in the end I had little to show for it. All it did was give me an excuse to be broke.

I have seen this pattern repeated over and over with my clients. It applies to every age group and in every country.

What I also realized is that creating struggle is simply another way to hold onto being a victim. We create struggle because it allows us to have an excuse for not having what we want. It also allows us to lie to ourselves. It is a built-in validation for a
life of mediocrity.

Here's the good news. If you have used your thoughts to create difficulty, struggle and suffering, as evidenced by your past, there is nothing to stop you from creating riches and happiness in your life right NOW.

The solution is simple. Just reverse your thoughts and actions. Think the opposite of what you have been thinking and do the opposite of what you have been doing and you are virtually guaranteed to succeed!

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how large or small, please record it. It will only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.

(excerpt from Wide Asleep Slumber No More by Timothy Kendrick)

First, decide what you want.
Second, decide you are willing to pay the price to make it happen, then PAY THAT PRICE!
There is never something for nothing. Mother Nature does not work this way.
Your first question to yourself was probably the same as mine. What do I want? From my own personal history I have found if I work for “a cause” and not “for a living” It takes care of itself.
Now you say “what is my cause?” Easy, what are you passionate about?
What are you more passionate about than any other thing in the world?

Remember the focus of your attention and concerns must be moved away from yourself and always moving toward others (giving).

By helping others through your “major definite purpose” get what they want, you will get what you want and more.
(1)Riches (money)
(2) The skills attained from your experience learned by performing these actions.
My friend Tony says “purpose is stronger than outcome, if you are committed there is always a way”.

Me, simply put, Giving is living.

It's time to face the cold, hard, ugly truth:

We each suffer at the hands of others:

Those we love, those that anger or attack us...
even at the hands of strangers.

None of us gets through life unscathed. But I
believe conflict empowers us.

In this new video from Chris Cade, he shows you
specifically how to explore the challenges and
traumas you've endured... and transform those
stories into empowering vehicles for success and
empowerment.

I don't know about you, but after watching this
video, I was acutely aware of traumas I've held
in the past... with a lot of guilt and anger
about what others have done to me... and what I
LET them do to me.

It's not an empowering feeling. In fact it had
given me every excuse not to try, not to dream
or hope, not to love.

What Chris articulates so well in this video is
that these things that happened to me... the
things that have happened to you...

It's not anyone else's fault. It's not your
fault either.

It's just one more story... and it's the
hardest thing for most people to change.

Chris invites us to unearth the story we may be
holding - the story that leads either to hatred,
anger and guilt... Or to forgiveness and
abundance.

Did you know that about 1 in 5 children were solicited for
sex in the past year.

Or that 1 in 33 children received aggressive sexual
solicitations, meaning that the child was threatened, asked
to meet, was called on the phone, or received mail or gifts.

1 in 4 children were exposed to photos of people having sex
or of naked people, even though about 1/3 of households
reported using Internet blocking software.

And about 1 in 17 children were threatened or harassed on
the Internet, including threats of harm to the child,
friends or other family members.

If those sorts of stats scare you as much as they do me then

How To Explode Your Confidence Beyond Belief

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 01:14:00 +0000

If you are not one hundred percent satisfied with the current
status of your life as it is right now in terms of anything
including relationships, finances, career, parenting, etc. there is
only one thing that you need to assess and that's your decision
making process.

You see, our lives are shaped by our experiences and all
experiences are the result of a decision.

If you decide to touch a burning stove, the result will be that you
get burned. If you decide to jump in a pool of water, the result
will be that you get wet.

Sometimes however, the result that we experience from a decision
isn't so clearly visible prior to making that decision.

In other words, we think that by making a certain decision, we will
achieve a certain result but somehow that result turns into
something else. And that's when things get tricky.

And this is why if areas of your life aren't moving along as
planned, you must assess your decision making process.

Decisions are driven by two things; the confidence in one's ability
to achieve a certain result and more importantly, emotions.

The reason why I say "more importantly" is because emotions
ultimately guide every decision and will always override one's
confidence.

For example, if you decide that it's time to lose weight or quit
smoking, you can have all the confidence in the world in your
ability to achieve those goals but if your emotions point you in
the opposite direction, you will ultimately never achieve those
goals.

Therefore, to truly enhance any areas of your life, you must work
on both your confidence and your emotions.

Steve G. Jones is a clinical hypnotherapist who has been practicing
hypnotherapy for over 20 years and has worked with the likes of
just about anyone ranging from regular everyday folks to high
profile celebrities.

In fact, pretty soon he will have his own television show called
"The Celebrity Hypnotist."

Steve also has the largest collection of hypnosis recordings on the
planet and is well respected in his field.
Some time ago, Steve realized that while he was helping improve
various areas of people's lives using the power of hypnosis on a
subconscious level, that working on someone's confidence was a must
no matter what.

It's almost like a prerequisite for true transformation. The only
problem was that people would have to fly to his Savannah office
for the hypnosis session and pay a pretty penny to do so.

Steve decided to create a program that would equip any person with
the ability to build confidence using hypnosis right in the privacy
of their own homes, which would make it much more convenient and
affordable.

And so he did just that. The only problem; it was missing
something.

While Steve's program was in fact ultra effective at building
confidence, it didn't focus on emotions on any level.

Knowing that the only true way to deal with one's emotions is
through Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT for short, Steve knew he
had to incorporate the principles of EFT into his program.

But Steve is an expert in hypnosis, not EFT.

So what did he do? He decided to enlist the the help of a man who
is arguably the world's foremost EFT expert......Brad Yates.

While it certainly was no easy task (it took nearly a year), Steve
finally did track Brad down and got him to join forces with him to
create what is perhaps the most powerful formula for building
confidence known to man.

Don’t let the past get in your eyes

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 21:22:00 +0000

Now is the only time there is. Don’t waste it by living in the past. Your past can be poison to your soul or the elixir of life because of what you learned. Do not dwell on it in a negative way. Ask yourself “what did I learn from it”?

Today is the tomorrow you dreamt about yesterday. You have the ability to choose to live in this very moment. If you do “decide” to do this, worry and fear will dissipate.

Now is all there is. Enjoy the peace. Realize that every step is a new moment and a new day.

Expectation of positive good things, bring positive good things as long as you are moving. I cannot stress enough to “act your way into right thinking”. If it is peace, success, money, whatever you want move like you already have it. Find a role model who has these things and carry yourself the way they do.

One may call this a form of denial but taking this action is better than living in your past misery. Remember earlier when I spoke of “perfect practice” makes perfect. Find a successful person to model your new behavior after. Find what you like and what works for you. Trust your intuition.

Keep in mind there is a choice you must make in everything you do, so keep in mind that in the end the choice you make makes you.

Wipe the past from your eyes. Act your way into “right” thinking. If you are stuck you can never think your way into right acting, you must act your way into right thinking. This is why it is important to find a positive person to model your behavior after.

Spiritual Growth: the Spiritual Challenge of Modern Times

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:41:00 +0000

Image via Wikipedia

To grow spiritually in a world defined by power, money, and influence is a Herculean task. Modern conveniences such as electronic equipments, gadgets, and tools as well as entertainment through television, magazines, and the web have predisposed us to confine our attention mostly to physical needs and wants. As a result, our concepts of self-worth and self-meaning are muddled. How can we strike a balance between the material and spiritual aspects of our lives?

To grow spiritually is to look inward.

Introspection goes beyond recalling the things that happened in a day, week, or month. You need to look closely and reflect on your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and motivations. Periodically examining your experiences, the decisions you make, the relationships you have, and the things you engage in provide useful insights on your life goals, on the good traits you must sustain and the bad traits you have to discard. Moreover, it gives you clues on how to act, react, and conduct yourself in the midst of any situation. Like any skill, introspection can be learned; all it takes is the courage and willingness to seek the truths that lie within you. Here are some pointers when you introspect: be objective, be forgiving of yourself, and focus on your areas for improvement.

To grow spiritually is to develop your potentials.

Religion and science have differing views on matters of the human spirit. Religion views people as spiritual beings temporarily living on Earth, while science views the spirit as just one dimension of an individual. Mastery of the self is a recurring theme in both Christian (Western) and Islamic (Eastern) teachings. The needs of the body are recognized but placed under the needs of the spirit. Beliefs, values, morality, rules, experiences, and good works provide the blueprint to ensure the growth of the spiritual being. In Psychology, realizing one’s full potential is to self-actualize. Maslow identified several human needs: physiological, security, belongingness, esteem, cognitive, aesthetic, self-actualization, and self-transcendence. James earlier categorized these needs into three: material, emotional, and spiritual. When you have satisfied the basic physiological and emotional needs, spiritual or existential needs come next. Achieving each need leads to the total development of the individual. Perhaps the difference between these two religions and psychology is the end of self-development: Christianity and Islam see that self-development is a means toward serving God, while psychology view that self-development is an end by itself.

To grow spiritually is to search for meaning.

Religions that believe in the existence of God such as Christianity, Judaism, and Islam suppose that the purpose of the human life is to serve the Creator of all things. Several theories in psychology propose that we ultimately give meaning to our lives. Whether we believe that life’s meaning is pre-determined or self-directed, to grow in spirit is to realize that we do not merely exist. We do not know the meaning of our lives at birth; but we gain knowledge and wisdom from our interactions with people and from our actions and reactions to the situations we are in. As we discover this meaning, there are certain beliefs and values that we reject and affirm. Our lives have purpose. This purpose puts all our physical, emotional, and intellectual potentials into use; sustains us during trying times; and gives us something to look forward to---a goal to achieve, a destination to reach. A person without purpose or meaning is like a drifting ship at sea.

To grow spiritually is to recognize interconnections.

Religions stress the concept of our relatedness to all creation, live and inanimate. Thus we call other people “brothers and sisters” even if there are no direct blood relations. Moreover, deity-centered religions such as Christianity and Islam speak of the relationship between humans and a higher being. On the other hand, science expounds on our link to other living things through the evolution theory. This relatedness is clearly seen in the concept of ecology, the interaction between living and non-living things. In psychology, connectedness is a characteristic of self-transcendence, the highest human need according to Maslow. Recognizing your connection to all things makes you more humble and respectful of people, animals, plants, and things in nature. It makes you appreciate everything around you. It moves you to go beyond your comfort zone and reach out to other people, and become stewards of all other things around you.

Growth is a process thus to grow in spirit is a day-to-day encounter. We win some, we lose some, but the important thing is that we learn, and from this knowledge, further spiritual growth is made possible.

If You Don't Own The Product You Don't Own The Business

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:07:00 +0000

IF YOU DON’T OWN THE PRODUCT, YOU DON’T OWN THE BUSINESS! Conversely, if you DO own the product, you DO control what happens to YOUR business.

I’m sure you’ve thought about this…it’s NOT rocket science or brain surgery! I’m just as sure that you’ve probably made plans, or at least, had thoughts of, someday, having your own product to proudly sell to the world. But, something is holding you back!

THAT’S exactly why I wrote this book. Over the past several years, I’ve received, literally, 1000s of emails asking me the same questions:

“Can you help me write my own e-book?” OR, “How can I do the same thing you’re doing?” OR, “I really want my own product like you, can you help me get started?”

I answered probably 99% of those emails with good, helpful advice for quite a while…but, as time went on the emails got more numerous. That’s where this book comes in!

I distilled all of that advice, all of that experience, into these pages that you hold in your hand or see on your computer monitor. It’s the sum total of what I’d tell you if you were sitting right here in my office discussing your business with me. The advice comes from all of the mistakes I’ve made along the way…AND learned from. It comes from my successes. It comes from my heart, because I’d TRULY like to see you succeed in your own business…I’d TRULY like to see you take control of your own future…your own family’s future.

How To Successfully Get Into Business By Buying A Good Business - With Almost No Money Down

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 13:57:00 +0000

Did you know that now may be the easiest time ever to create exactly what you want? Why? Because the economy seems to be spinning out of control, and baby-boomers are at a particular stage in their lives. Let me explain…

Most people don’t know this but the fact is that you can achieve financial and time freedom easier, faster and safer by buying rather than starting a business.

There are two things that you should be aware of if you wish to financially liberate yourself and your family practically, fast, effectively, powerfully and safely - with almost no money down…

Fact #1: Did you know that your fastest, safest, and possibly easiest vehicle to securing your financial and time freedom is, paradoxically, buying a business? It is not, for most people, starting a business. It is not saving. It is not investing in real estate or shares. And it is not working hard at your job. All these things have their place in life, and I am not saying that you should not consider or participate in them. By all means, they are good and have their place. But recognize what their place is. So why is this fact so? Hang on a minute please. Let us look at fact number two first.

Fact #2: Did you also know that this is the best time, in the history of the world, to buy a business? Why?

Allow me to explain both positions.

First of all, why is buying a business better, in many ways, than starting one?

Well, the advantages of buying over starting are that:

- Purchase price/terms are negotiable and can be fixed. When you are buying a business of any size, you get a ready, running package that you can see and touch, that is operational, and you can negotiate the terms and know upfront how much it will take to get into it. Starting, on the other hand, is not so predictable, and things often don’t go according to plan.

- Funding options widen when you are buying. Whereas it is difficult to get bank loans and investors for new start ups that are just an idea, it is relatively easy to get bank loans and investors for businesses that are already running and have customers, suppliers, products and so on, all already manifest and provable.

- Cash flow from day one. When you buy, you are buying a ready package with cash flow. And cash flow is like blood to a business. You cannot do without it.

- Less risky. Again, from the fact that the business is already running and proven. Whereas 75% of start-ups fail within the first 5 years, 75% of franchises, for example, succeed. Businesses that are already operational are somewhat like franchises. The tables are turned. Sure, you get more flexibility with a start-up, but you get more surety with a business that is already running.

- You can flip it soon after buying. Just like a house, you buy, renovate it, and sell it at a higher price.

- Best of all, you can buy it for almost no money down. How? Just a minute, we will get into that shortly.

Second question. Why is this the best time, in the history of the world, to buy a business?

Because of two factors:

- A once-in-a-lifetime global asset fire sale. Because of the state of the financial world right now, almost all assets are cheaper. Way cheaper. So now you can negotiate a very good price whereby you build profit into the purchase price.

- A once-in a lifetime baby-boomer generation's business sale. Many people are approaching retirement and wish to offload their business. These are the baby-boomer generation. They were the first major group to get into the start up business movement. And now they wish to sell. For all sorts of reasons. Some are just tired and just wish to get rid of it and will give you great terms on their businesses. Some did not organize their business well enough and cannot compete without making the kind of changes (such as technology) that you may be able to make. Some just want to realize their retirement. Whatever the reason, today there are more businesses for sale than there are buyers of businesses. It is a buyers market.

This brings us to the best part. How can you possibly buy a business for no money down? Well, because of the global financial state, the over-supply of businesses for sale (even on eBay only, you will find tons, everything from small websites to large concerns), and the fact that baby-boomers desperately want to sell, you can easily get seller financing. Here is one way you can get a business for almost no money down. You simply let the owner understand that you will be able to pay them using the revenues of the business. So in effect, you will buy their business. But instead of paying cash for it, the owner will keep title of various assets in the business, and maybe even title to your car or other assets. As security. And then over the course of the year, you will pay them an agreed sum monthly, until the full price is paid, and then the title to the assets will revert to you. If you fail to pay, the owner gets back the business. But if you do your homework well, and arrange the deal well, you will easily get the money to pay the owner from the very business you bought. This sounds unbelievable, but veterans in business know that in many areas and industries about 70% of businesses are bought and sold this way. You can do this. I will show you how here: http://www.revolutionscape.com

Before The Secret

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 01:00:00 +0000

The Things and Conditions We Desire to Become Realities We Must First Create in Thought....

Some men seem to attract success, power, wealth, attainment, with very little conscious effort; others conquer with great difficulty; still others fail altogether to reach their ambitions, desires and ideals. Why is this so: Why should some men realize their ambitions easily, others with difficulty, and still others not at all? The cause cannot be physical, else the most perfect men, physically, would be the most successful. The difference, therefore, must be mental - must be in the mind; hence mind must be the creative force, must constitute the sole difference between men. It is mind, therefore, which overcomes environment and every other obstacle in the path of men.

Abundance depends upon a recognition of the laws of Abundance, and the fact that Mind is not only the creator, but the only creator of all there is.

Every thought is a cause and every condition an effect; for this reason it is absolutely essential that you control your thoughts so as to bring forth only desirable conditions.

All power is from within, and is absolutely under your control; it comes through exact knowledge and by the voluntary exercises of exact principles.

The Universal Mind is the life principle of every atom which is in existence; every atom is continually striving to manifest more life; all are intelligent, and all are seeking to carry out the purpose for which they were created.

The ability to receive and manifest this power depends upon the ability to recognize the Infinite Energy ever dwelling in man, constantly creating and recreating his body and mind, and ready at any moment to manifest through him in any needful manner. In exact proportion to the recognition of this truth will be the manifestation in the outer life of the individual.

When you find that you are really one with the Infinite power, and when you can consciously realize this power by a practical demonstration of your ability to overcome any adverse condition by the power of your thought, you will have nothing to fear; fear will have been destroyed and you will have come into possession of your birthright.

A knowledge of our ability to consciously radiate health, strength and harmony will bring us into a realization that there is nothing to fear because we are in touch with Infinite Strength. This knowledge can be gained only by making practical application of this information. We learn by doing; through practice the athlete comes powerful.

Thought is a mode of motion and is carried by the law of vibration the same as light or electricity. It is given vitality by the emotions through the law of love; it takes form and expression by the law of growth; it is a product of the spiritual “I”, hence its Divine, spiritual, and creative nature. From this it is evident that in order to express power, abundance or any other constructive purpose, the emotions must be called upon to give feeling to the thought so that it will take form. How may this purpose be accomplished? This is the vital point; how may we develop the faith, the courage, the feeling, which will result in accomplishment? The reply is, by exercise; mental strength is secured in exactly the same way that physical strength is secured, by exercise.

This 133-page eBook is based on absolute scientific truth and will unfold the possibilities that lie dormant in the individual, and teach how they may be brought into powerful action, to increase the person's effective capacity, bringing added energy, discernment, vigor and mental elasticity. The student who gains an understanding of the mental laws will come into the possession of an ability to secure results undreamed of, and which has rewards hardly to be expressed in words.

This eBook will give you an excellent understanding of how you can create for yourself Health, Strength, Success, Prosperity or any other condition which you desire.

P.S. - Bonus! You will receive Full Master Resell Rights to this eBook so you can sell it yourself, and with just one sale, this purchase pays for itself!

Hectic Life? Quick Tips for Mindful Living

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 14:26:00 +0000

By Elisha Goldstein, Ph.D.

A person once said to me, “I hear about all this research where mindfulness can be healing for stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic pain, etc.., but I have 3 kids and work 50 hours/week, where would I ever find time to sit and practice meditation for my mental health?” While having certain traditional disciplined meditations can be enormously supportive, it can be difficult to cultivate this without guidance. While there are many CDs on the topic, a community is often an important factor that supports us in sustaining this practice.

However, even without the time and place in life to set up some formal practice, from the minute you get up in the day to the moment you lay your head on the pillow there is opportunity to engage mindfulness as a way of life, opening you up to greater focus, calm, and peace.

Here is an excerpt from the upcoming Mindful Solutions for Success and Stress Reduction at Work Audio CD.

Here are some tips on how to weave mindfulness into your workday and life:

As you open your eyes in the morning, instead of jolting out of bed, try and see if you can make room for a STOP practice (Stop, Take a breath, Observice -thoughts, feelings, emotions -, Proceed) This tends to start the day off differently with great calm and present moment awareness setting the stage for you to be more calm and steady during challenging moments through the day.
As you get in the shower, notice if your mind is already at work thinking, planning, and rehearsing all the things that may happen that day. When you become aware of this, gently bring your mind back to the question, what is my purpose right now, what is most important. The answer is getting clean in the shower or waking up. So bring your attention back to your senses, smelling the soap, feeling the sensation of the water on your body, listening to the sound of it in the shower. Becoming more present.
If you have a family or partner, consider taking a morning to practice mindful listening and connecting with them before rushing out.
As you leave the house, slightly slow down as you walk to the car, check in with your body and notice any tension. Try and soften it.
As you drive, once in a while, try driving a little slower and let red lights be reminders to just notice your breathing.
As you walk to the office, walk differently today. Breathe in with every three steps, and breathe out with every three steps. Notice the sensation of walking; it took you over a year to learn how to walk in the first place.
If you sit at a desk, practice STOP before checking the computer for emails or updates.
When doing tasks at work, block out time to focus on a group of similar tasks. For example, block out time just for planning and do not attend to any other tasks during that time. If you can, turn off your email during this period.
If possible, maybe once a week, eat by yourself in silence, eat slightly slower and really tune into the sense of taste while eating.
Sprinkle STOP or breathing space practices throughout the day, checking in to see if you are in a proactive, reactive, distracted or waste zone. Then choose what is the most important thing to be doing right now.
When walking back to the car from work, practice the same way you walked to your car.
Remember, it doesn’t pay to rush home to relax, drive slightly slower and experiment with new radio stations, maybe reflect on what you actually did that day. What was positive, what was stuff you would like to do better? You can also choose to plan how you would like to be when you get home.
When getting home, if you have a family, practice STOP before entering the house, notice if your body is tense, and if so, try to soften those muscles by breathing in and out of them, with awareness, and just letting them be.

It’s difficult to remember to integrate mindfulness into daily living so, you can choose to get little daily tweets to pop you into a mindful space at http://twitter.com/Mindful_Living.

Ready? Here they are:

1. Take 100% Responsibility for your life, your actions AND your results

2. Clarifying your purpose and then live it everyday

3. Taking action. The information you have learned, means nothing unless you do something with it.

So, now that you know your critical success factors,
what are you going to do about it?

I Can’t Believe My Eyes !

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:38:00 +0000

“I can’t believe my eyes”, people say…

Well, they shouldn’t either. Because you’re eyes don’t actually see.

They’re merely lenses that pass on information to the visual cortex in the brain. And only there do you see.
So you actually see with your brain, not with your eyes. “I saw it with my own brain!” would be a better way to put it.

After all, we decode the visible frequencies of light that our eyes pick up into ‘physical reality’. Your eyes don’t send images to your brain of 3D street scenes or whatever we think we see outside of us.

They perceive frequencies and then send them to the brain in the form of electrical signals. And your brain decodes those signals into an apparent 3D reality that we think is outside of us.

What we see is ‘light’, as it’s reflected by what’s called ‘luminous matter’. ‘Luminous matter’ reflects electromagnetic light, which your eyes can perceive.
But 95 percent (at least) of the mass in the universe is known as ‘dark matter’ or ‘dark energy’. This ‘stuff’ doesn’t reflect light, and therefore can’t be seen by us humans. However, it can be measured by its effect on the part of the universe that we can ‘see’. That’s how we know it’s there.

But anyway, the only light we can see is the light reflected within the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. And we only see those particular frequencies within that electromagnetic spectrum. And actually, it’s only a fraction of the spectrum that can be accessed by our human vision:

But there’s even more…

The electromagnetic spectrum is only 0.005% of the estimated mass of the universe. And human sight can see only a tiny fraction of these electromagnetic frequencies. So imagine how little of the universe we can actually perceive and decode into ‘physical’ reality!

We’re virtually blind!

The truth is that we only see what the brain tells us to see. And let’s take a quick look at what happens before we actually ‘see’:

• First, light enters the eye by passing through the outer, transparent layer called the ‘cornea’.

• Then it goes on through the pupil, which gets bigger or smaller to allow for more or less light to be let in (depending on the circumstances). This latter process is controlled by the iris (the colored part of the eye).

• Then it goes to the lens to be focused.

• After that, it enters the ‘vitreous humor’, a jelly-like substance behind the lens.

• And then the light (or information) strikes the retina, which ‘captures’ the image like the film in those good old photo cameras. However, this image recorded on the retina is two-dimensional and upside-down!

• The next stop is the optic nerve, which in turn sends the image through the brain to the ‘occipital lobe’. This is where the brain re-assembles the two-dimensional and upside-down image that was delivered by the eyes into the form that we think we are seeing.

So this is really quite a path to travel for what we think is an ‘objective image’ before we actually ‘see’ it. And what’s even more striking are all the things that happen before we actually ‘see’ the image that we think we see.

After all, what we think is a 3D image that situated outside of us is only constructed when frequencies are recorded as a two-dimensional and upside-down image on the retina. It’s only later (when the info reaches the ‘occipital lobe’) that it’s constructed into a 3D image. And this construction happens in your brain.

So does the world outside of us really exist in the way we think we see it? But wait… Here’s another thought-provoking realization:

On the way from the eyes to the visual cortex, the temporal lobes edit and reconstruct up to 50% and more of the ‘light’ or ‘information’ that was perceived by the eyes. In his book The Holographic Universe, the late Michael Talbot [1] writes about the work of neurophysiologist Karl Pribram and others [p. 163]:

“Pribram discovered that the visual information a monkey receives via its optic nerves does not travel directly to its visual cortex, but is first filtered through other areas of its brain.

“Numerous studies have shown that the same is true of human vision. Visual information entering our brains is edited and modified by our temporal lobes before it is passed on to our visual cortices.

“Some studies suggest that less than 50 percent of what we ‘see’ is actually based on information entering our eyes. The remaining 50 percent plus is pieced together out of our expectation of what the world should look like (and perhaps out of other sources such as reality fields). The eyes may be the visual organs, but it is the brain that sees.”

Wow! And then consider this…

What we don’t ‘see’, we make up. Seriously, we make it up! Here’s how…

Our eyes have a blind spot where the optic nerve connects to the eye in the middle of the retina. We can’t see anything with that part of the eye. However, the brain weaves the picture together from the information available and ‘fills the hole’.

So actually, what we believe we are seeing is what we see. Upon constructing the 3D image that we think we eventually ‘see’, the brain filters and tweaks the information received by filling in holes and matching it to its expectations of what there is to be seen, based on its engrained beliefs. And that latter part makes up for more than 50% of the images we actually ‘see’!

That’s quite something! We also describe this mechanism in our free book on the Premises Of Your Own Power (and if you haven’t read it yet, you can get it for free here:Free Ebook)Here are some excerpts of what we wrote:

“Most people will be familiar with overlooking misspelled words. This is because your eyes, or rather your brain, is so accustomed to reading the words in correct spelling, that it simply overlooks a typo. The typo is filtered out of the image by your brain, which causes you to overlook it and see the correct spelling, which is in line with your expectations. This does not happen all the time, but it does happens sometimes, which illustrates the point to make here. Neurophysiologists like Karl Pribram have long been aware of this fact.

(…)

In relation to the example of the misspelled words, your engrained belief system (the correct spelling of the words you see most of the time) caused your brain to filter out the information (the typo) that was at odds with its conditioned worldview (its expectations).”

Here’s another excerpt:

“Likewise, studies have shown that men and women often have trouble communicating accurately with each other, because what one says the other does not hear. Each hears merely whatever supports their belief and prejudice about each other. They pick up only what they want to hear, or what supports their conditioned view of the way things are. This is a psychological phenomenon called ‘selective retention’.”

And here’s a final one:

“The catch is that seeing is not just believing. Apparently, ‘believing is also seeing’.

Because the information picked up by your eyes is edited by your brain according to its engrained belief systems, a large proportion of what you actually ‘see’ is determined by what you believe deep inside to be true. You see what you believe.

And of course, because you see what you believe, you immediately believe what you see, because it supports your belief systems that determined what you saw in the first place. Thus, what you see reinforces your belief system, which causes you to keep seeing things in the way you believe things to be, which in turn again makes you see things in that way. It’s a self-reinforcing cycle!”

You can read more details on that in the book Premises of Your Own Power…

But for now, we’re slowly moving into the point that we want to make…

After all, it’s clear that the beliefs programmed into your brain have a significant effect on the way you perceive ‘reality’… or in fact, on the way you even construct reality and thus what you seem to be ‘attracting’!

The thing is… Your brain is not the center of control that determines what happens and what doesn’t happen.

And that’s good news!

Because it’s still true that you can be the one taking control. You don’t have to be a slave to your body and brain. That is, if you recognize that you are not your body. You need to recognize that you are indeed the essence controlling it and occupying it to allow yourself to experience this ‘3D solid world’.

After all… Consider all this:

There has been this publication of an article in the scientific journal ‘Science’ with the provocative title ‘Is Your Brain Really Necessary’ [2].

This article was a reaction to the description of this British neurologist John Lorber of a young man of ‘normal development’, with an IQ of 126, and an academic degree in mathematics.

The funny thing was that a brain scan of this apparently highly intelligent young man showed that he was a pretty hardcore case of what’s known as ‘hydrocephalus’, or ‘water on the brain’.

Put differently, the head of this ‘IQ 126′, ‘academic degree in mathematics’ young man was filled with cerebrospinal fluid for 95%. What this means in layman’s terms is that his skull was like a swimming pool for his brain, which basically drowned in all that fluid.

His cerebral cortex had a gauge of about 1 millimeter, so there was hardly any brain tissue left. The weight of his brain was estimated to about 100 grams, where 1500 grams is normal for an average homo sapiens sapiens. But the workings of his brain were hardly impaired at all!

The following picture comes to mind:

Maybe we underestimated him…

Anyway, it seems like the brain is not the source of consciousness. And so the good news is that you can exert control over your brain (and thus your perceptions and the way you construct your reality (or what you seem to ‘attract’)) through your own being conscious.

Put differently:

YOU NEED TO WAKE-THE-HELL UP!

Basically, your body (including your brain) is a vehicle for experience, and you’re in the driver’s seat.

You can take control and manipulate your perceptions, and it has been shown that you (being a conscious essence) can even change your brain (being a part of the ‘space suit’ (your body) you’re wearing in order to be able to experience this ‘physical ‘reality’).

And if you listen closely, you’ll see this is true, and you’ll learn how you can benefit from this…

Science has shown during our lives there’s this ongoing process of adaptation in your brain. This happens because your mental, intellectual, spiritual and physical activities influence both the number as well as the locations of the mutual connections between neurons (brain cells). This process of ongoing adaptation is called ‘neuroplasticity‘ or ‘cortical remapping‘.

So basically, because of conscious attention, emotions and active thought processes, as well as due to physical activity and movement, the neural networks in your brain change continually. And as such, the electromagnetical activity in your brain changes all the time as well.

In a recent article in the scientific journal called ‘Progress In Neurobiology’ called ‘Mind Does Really Matter’ [3], neuroscientist Mario Beauregard comes to the conclusion that trust and positive expectations are capable of influencing (changing) the parts in the brain that play a significant role in perceiving, movement, pain and a whole bunch of emotional processes.

So your mental processes (thoughts, feelings, beliefs, but most of all your conscious free will) can significantly influence the functioning of your brain on various levels.

Your conscious and deliberate manipulation of your thoughts and expectations not only greatly improves your feelings of well-being. It also causes a demonstrable biological change in your brain. (Beauregard outlines a whole list of studies that demonstrate the effect of consciousness on brain functioning in his book The Spiritual Brain [4]).

So what to make of all this scientific mumbo-jumbo?

Well, here we go…

By waking-the-hell up from the vicious cycle that you may find yourself in, you can make astonishing changes in your perceived reality.

After all, we’ve seen that you see what you believe. Your brain edits the information it receives based on its engrained belief systems to determine what you see. And then what you see is merely a confirmation of what you already believe. It’s a self-reinforcing cycle, and it’s vicious as long as it’s based on beliefs of negativity, being powerless, being poor, feeling guilty, and so on…

But by waking-the-hell up, you can consciously change your perceptions. You can consciously cause significant, demonstrable biological changes in your brain.

Your brain will change, and your perceptions will change. And as your perceptions will change, your beliefs will change. And as your beliefs change into knowing that you have full power over your own reality, your perceptions will change accordingly.

It’s still a self-reinforcing cycle, but not a vicious one anymore. Both your conscious and your subconscious mind will change into a state in which you genuinely believe down to the core of your being that you’re the one in control.

And you can simply pick your beliefs. Your brain, mind and perceptions of your ‘outside reality’ will follow automatically.

Even if you have ‘water on the head’, as you have seen…

So who cares if your brain scan looks like Homer Simpson’s?

It doesn’t matter, because you are not your body. You are a unique representation of all that exists, and you’re awesome. You can choose to make the change. It’s your call.

And here’s how you can.

Send Negative Energy Packing… Increase Your Blessings and Positive Energy

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 22:31:00 +0000

Nowadays, the terms “energy work,” “healing” and “cleansing” are used and understood by a lot more people than perhaps ten or fifteen years ago. This is due, in large part, to the renaissance of holistic health and a widespread appreciation for living and healing ourselves, naturally.

But prolific, respected authors such as Carolyn Myss, Sandra Ingerman, Wayne Dyer and Scott Cunningham, have asserted that focusing on one’s well-being by way of eating and living holistically, is not enough. Essential, yes - but not enough. It is imperative, these voices unanimously echoed, to keep our energy clear. What, specifically, is meant by “energy”? I am referring to the energy in our own bodies and that of the environment in which we live. Clearing and charging our personal and home energy, can and should be done, these experts say, routinely and with conviction.

If Asian medicine is correct, and the Chi, or energetic force that both enlivens and animates the body, requires a clear path upon which to flow; if Ayurvedic medicine is correct, and our health is directly affected by the state of our energy; if the global Reiki movement is correct and human beings are able to respond positively to a Universal energy that can heal mind, body and spirit as well as cleanse and infuse places and things with healing energy- then could Myss, Ingerman, Dyer and Cunningham be correct? Could it be possible that “the big picture” for humans - wellness, harmony and prosperity - begins with clear, uncluttered energy?

I believe so. Considered by a lot of my readers and students to be an old time mystic living in a modern world, I’ve been writing and speaking about energy for some time now. At the forefront of my passionate proclamations about energy work, is one idea: keeping oneself and one’s home cleansed of harmful, contrary, inhibiting or negative energy, is vital. If we do not, then all the positive thinking and holistic practices in the world will be met with resistance. It makes good, clear sense to me that if we can remove some of the “orange cones” so to speak, those things that block our flow and create obstacles, shouldn’t we do that?

I cannot take much credit for this powerful idea. It’s a practice we’re seeing a lot of now - cleansing oneself and one’s home of negative energies. One very popular method is known as smudging. This is the practice of waving smoke from a purification herb over us, as a way to cleanse or purify. Interestingly, though you hear a lot of people refer to this practice as Native American in origin, this custom is found in the lore, writings and current traditions of many indigenous cultures. Michael Harner wrote about the Shamanic smudging in Peru and Ecuador; Barbara Tedlock noted the practice of herbal fumigation among descendents of the Maya currently residing in the Highlands of Guatemala and the modern day shamans of Siberia. A friend of mine, a man who is a direct descendent of a New York Seneca tribe, tells me he was taught that traditional botanicals to use for smudging are dried white sage, dried cedar wood and dried, braided sweetgrass. We can go back even further; the ancient Egyptians left behind a recipe for their signature incense, Kyphi. This ritual incense included a great many ingredients, among them frankincense - noted for it’s ability to purify, protect and cleanse.

In each of these instances, smudging is what took place - a cleansing of one’s personal energy and the energy in one’s environment, through the smoldering of sacred, powerful botanicals. We can do the same today. Many spiritual groups practice smudging and some modern holistic healers have identified that other natural items such as crystals, some gemstones and herbs, also cleanse or purify. Very often, we find that lunar phases empower this kind of work, depending upon the time of the month and the type of work being done. Farmers and agricultural folk have always known this.

For cleansing energetically, it is best to send away unwanted, negative energy as the moon is waning, or decreasing in light. To draw in or increase positive energy, it is best to work as the moon is waxing, or growing in light. You should check a calendar to determine the dates for current and upcoming moon phases. Botanical or energetic items may be acquired from a health food store or new age shop.

Here are two of my favorite ways to cleanse negative energy and increase positive energy, below. It may seem that these practices are simplistic in nature. Easy, they are. Simplistic, they are not. Please note that each of the items used for cleansing negativity or increasing positivity, are energetic in nature, and thus powerful in themselves. When items are combined with each other, joined with our intention and further fortified by the antiquity of the custom, we are effecting very powerful practices, indeed.

CLEANSING NEGATIVE ENERGY ON THE WANING MOON or FULL MOON
Note: Waning moon is that period of time between the Full and New Moon. This cleansing may be performed on the Waning Moon or on the Full Moon.

NEEDED:
1. Dried white sage (in bulk or bundled together as an herbal wand) or dried sweetgrass.
2. 1 piece of hematite, a silvery-black stone
3. 1 white candle

Any time of the day or night when the moon is waning, light dried white sage or sweetgrass. Beginning with yourself, take up the hematite in one hand and with your other hand, wave the smoke first around your head area. Next wave the smoke down your entire body, along your extended arms, down each leg and underneath each foot. It is thought that the smoke clears the body’s energetic aura of impurities, “trapping” them in the fumigation and taking the negative energies heavenward to be released or recycled.

Next, smudge your home. Start in the room you consider to be the hub; for many this is the kitchen. For some, the hub of the home is their office or living room. Carrying the smoldering herb in one hand and the piece of hematite in the other, walk clockwise around each room. Wave the smoldering sage or sweetgrass smoke throughout, including the corners and closets. Custom dictates that one leave a door or window open while performing this type of cleansing, so that the negative energy has somewhere to go, a way to get out.

When you are finished smudging, light a white candle to affirm the release and clearing of negative energy from yourself and your home. Visualize purifying white light permeating your home and sealing it as cleansed. Carry the hematite with you; it is magnetic in nature and will continue absorbing negative energy around and on, the person in posession of it.
AFFIRMING POSITIVE ENERGY ON THE WAXING MOON or NEW MOON
Note: Waxing moon is that period of time between the New and Full Moon. This positive energy blessing may be performed on the Waxing Moon or on the New Moon.

NEEDED:
1. Peels from 1 orange, a handful of rose petals and a tablespoon of dried cloves or star anise
2. 1 quartz crystal point or polished quartz crystal
3. 1 white or purple candle

Any time of the day or night when the moon is waxing, fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Add all botanical ingredients, including the orange peels, rose petals and cloves or star anise. Give the mixture a stir with a wooden spoon. As the scented steam rises, see your home being filled and blessed with positive energy. According to holistic aromatherapy, orange peels facilitate blessings and harmony; rose petals encourage unconditional love, loving communication and expression; cloves and star anise protect against harm. If you like, you can gather “handfuls” of the aromatic steam and “wash” it over your face, inhaling the scent and thus allowing the energies to affect your consciousness. As water evaporates, add more cool water to the pot. With the addition of more water, the potency of the aroma may subside. You may add more botanicals - just be sure to include all the ingredients.

Light a white or purple candle to align with high, Divine energies. This further adds to the potency of your intention. Set the quartz crystal, which is a natural conductor of electricity and a powerful magnifier, near to the simmering pot and lit candle. In this way, you are boosting the energetic power of your aromatherapy and positive energy candle. After a while, you may carry the crystal with you as a way of boosting and magnifying your own positive energy.

KEEPING THE QUARTZ & HEMATITE CLEANSED

Experienced crystal connoisseurs know that while quartz does not retain outside energy nearly at the rate or volume hematite does, both stones must be cleansed and recharged regularly. A good timetable is to cleanse and charge stones monthly, depending on the frequency of their use. You may smudge the quartz crystal and hematite, removing negative energies from them in this way. Another effective method is to hold the stones under cold running water. To charge (restore) hematite, place it on a window sill in the sun or out in the grass or on your front step, in the sun. You will notice the hematite will get very hot; this is part of the charging process. To charge quartz crystal, it may also be placed in sunlight to magnify and restore its’ energy. Alternately, you may bury quartz crystal in the earth, leaving it deep in clean soil for no less than one week, or as much as one month. When you are ready, dig up the quartz and gently wash it off.

Psychological Self-improvement: Ways to Overcome Fear

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:21:00 +0000

People are usually afraid of negative things. They are afraid of self-improvement because of this fear. Psychological self-improvement may help you in this situation.

In psychological self-improvement, The best way to remove this fear is to understand that life is always in the cycle of ups and downs. No one is permanently up or permanently down. Remember that no one can avoid these ups and downs even the most envied Hollywood stars.

What we should do about these downs is to learn from it and not to avoid it. We should learn how to handle our problems for our psychological self-improvement.

Problems affect us every day. These problems bring us misery due to the fact that we have feelings. We should never loose hope in figuring out solutions to these problems. All we need is to learn how to overcome it and not to be overcome.

Problems can never be overcome but we can learn from them. This is where Psychology plays an important role.

Psychologists say that we should always be careful in our decisions concerning our problems. We should handle our problems properly and learn how to deal with it. Learning from mistakes helps us in preparing ourselves for psychological self-improvement

There are a lot of myths about every event in our lives. Another belief says that what we encounter in our lives today is our preparation for other things that may come in our lives. To understand what may happen to us in the future, we must learn from the present.

With all that, it is also true that the unexpected can happen anytime. However, you should keep in mind that a psychological self-improvement is not always for the worse and consequently, you must never let go of a chance, because you are afraid to take the risk.

Remember that, from time to time, something has to happen in order to free you from monotony, so you shouldn't be surprised if, at a certain moment in time, instead of being afraid of change, you desire it with all your heart.

If there are some things that hinder you from going on, here are some tips to help you move forward:
Just think of the positive impacts results from the psychological self-improvement. Know important they are and reflect on how to increase them, by adding some other good aspects, which need certain assistance.

Try to picture somebody else in your situation, as picturing ourselves in a less desirable position, always looks more dramatic than it really is. If you realize that the other person can handle the change, you can be sure you’ll be able to handle it as well. This is a good psychological self-improvement.

Think of the worst situation that can result after the self-improvement. Try to find various solutions to it. Reflect on how much you can loose, if the worst happened, and how important those things are to you. If you find more than one reasonable solution, you are safe and the self-improvement can’t be stronger than you are!

Self-improvement is not bad at all. All we need is to learn how to handle some negative changes. We should also reflect from it to learn and use it in the future events that we may encounter. This could be your ultimate psychological self-improvement.
