Self-Help Reviews - Even More Productivity For Greater Business!

There is a list of steps to improve your wholesale marketing. Whether it is selling the newest electronic or selling the latest in-demand, the better you market and the more you market, the better it usually is. No matter whether you are at an office or your office happens to seat at your home like the one of many of us, do know that there are simple gadgets and simple tools that can help you immediately boost your productivity time fast.

Among the books that are definitely worth your time reading in order to improve your marketing schedules on the internet, again no matter what is that you are doing: here is a good slice review for you to highly consider. Applying the techniques, strategies and suggestions added in these two fascinating books makes all the difference between getting by, and getting what you want faster.

The first one was an audio that going through iTunes store definitely catch my eyes immediately as it was in the top 3 of the best sellers there. Better yet it has glorious feedback on Amazon. When it comes to marketing, the majority of us are more than ok and even great when we intend to do the job we are supposed, which is to sell.

But among the list of audio books that should be of great interest to you since there is always more time to improve is a book or an audio book called Getting Things Done by David Allen. The majority of the time when we already know what to do, it is all about doing the work or improving it even more. The audio version of Getting Things Done is excellent as it helps systemize your work by showing you examples of how to prioritize and goes deep into the psychological bolts of why we sometimes do not achieve things faster.

Getting Things is surely an excellent hit in my arsenal of self-help books. Books like this whether you are a season pro or a millionaire should help you more, just one idea to schedule and implement could mean a 10% increase in productivity, especially if you work from your home. It goes deep into the psychological aspects of procrastination, but surely a golden nugget if already you have enough options and reads about marketing.

In a nutshell, this book is the cure for getting things done immediately and finishing them. Next you have a priority book that can be a magnificent read of new significant light if you have never read a book about building a business plan. In reality, the majority of us like to keep simple, schedule and put things in easy to read form in short term, 2-5 years goal and goals for the long term in 10 years.

If you want to start your very first wholesale video games business or electronics business one of the books in my list is called The One Page Business Plan for The Creative Entrepreneur by Jim Horan. Once you are ready and believe you have a good grasp at some important concepts from those books getting a wholesale list should be a next consideration to start your very first e-commerce business or improve upon the one you already have.

Finding Wholesale Video Games is one of the business components Joaquin serves as reference source, e-commerce coach and certified author. His focus today is assisting people receive extra income through the acquirement of an in-demand Wholesale List.

Collaboration Creates Harmony

Sometimes unwittingly you might engage in a power struggle, both at home or at work. These conflicts often stem from an unconscious desire to retain control of your circumstances or surroundings. However, your strong-willed and defensive approach to solving issues, may cause you to come up against a stronger resistance from perceived adversaries.

When you let go of your need to be in control and engage in a collaborative strategy that will help you work in tandem with others, rather than against, others you will notice that together you can create powerful solutions that allow you each to have your needs and desires fulfilled. You will feel your defensiveness disappear as you seek out a fair and balanced workable solution.

When you cease pushing against those with whom you are involved in struggles for dominance, the conflict dividing you from one another, eases, and you can begin working on an equitable solution to your differences. Hostility only engenders more hostility, blinding you to the cooperative and fair strategy you can use to diffuse aggression.

By avoiding to provide any more resistance, you create a situation in which cooperative energy can flow. Once the blockages that existed between you have been eradicated through the channel of your openness, you can begin communicating with your adversaries. As you gain a new understanding of one another, you are each empowered to devise a universally beneficial resolution. You will gain the power to dispel conflict when you recognize that letting go is the ultimate antidote to anger and conflict.

Law of Attraction Frustration

The law of attraction has frustrated many people and they will say that it doesn't work. You may have seen the movie, The Secret, or one of the specials on TV done by Oprah or Larry King. Have you tried using its principles? There are usually very specific mistakes that are made by someone just learning to attract the things they want. Those mistakes are easily corrected.

• The Law of Attraction always works

This universal law is an energy that is available to everyone, all the time. You have used it since forever. Maybe what you have attracted is not what you prefer, but the law has followed your instructions to the letter. Then why hasn't it worked the way you want?The rules are that what you focus your attention on, will come into your reality. So what you experience today, has been caused by what you thought about and talked about long before this. What you complain about and worry about today, will be what you are drawing to you for your future.

• So what blocks what I want?

Most likely, it is old beliefs of not being worthy of having it. Your value and self-esteem has been established for years by situations and people around you. They haven't done it on purpose; their own self-esteem has not been very high, so they couldn't help but teach you as they were taught--that YOU aren't enough. A belief is only a thought that has been repeated over and over until your mind accepts it as true. It doesn't have to BE true.

• Holding onto old ideas doesn't help

Holding onto those old beliefs is no longer supportive of what you want to accomplish today. Those beliefs were chosen by you to protect your emotions in the past. The key word here is CHOSEN. You made a choice--a decision about what happened. It doesn't follow that the decision you made was actually true. But thinking about it over and over and talking about it has allowed your mind to accept it as true, and this is what is blocking you from being able to attract your desire.

• You have an inner guidance system

By listening within, to the promptings and guidance you receive, you will find answers to help you remove those old beliefs and blocks and create the life you desire to lead. Life flows easily for you when you learn how to program and listen and obey your inner whisperings. Walls that you keep hitting your head against, will crumble and you walk free.

Learning From The Four Agreement

Controlling Your Fear of Public Speaking

To persuade, a speaker must talk fluently with courage and confidence. When fear or timidity becomes evident, an audience loses confidence in a speaker's ability to persuade. Obviously, if he cannot control himself how can he hope to persuade others?

The fear of public speaking is common to most people around the world. It is very often one of the top three fears of people in surveys. However, stage fright must be learned because people have only two natural fears at birth: the fear of falling and fear of loud noise. As stage fright has been learned it is impossible to control and overcome the anxiety.

The common fears associated with public speaking are:

- Fear of the unknown - new situations can be frightening. Remember the first time you were asked on a date or asked for one, or when you first began to drive.

- Fear of rejection - the feeling that the speech may be either criticised behind your back or openly.

- Fear of failure or making a mistake - you may forget part of your speech or mispronounce a word etc

Now we know what the fears are and that they were learned, how do you control them? Here are 8 techniques to use overcoming the anxiety;

1. Emerson's quote "Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain" is true. George Bernard Shaw suffered from stage fright and overcame his fear by speaking at every opportunity. Make many short speeches as this is far more helpful in overcoming fear than delivering only a few long ones.

2. Have an attitude that, "I'm giving them my best. I hope that's good enough. At this point I couldn't do better. And if someone is unhappy with my speech, so what? Without worrying a second about any speech I've already delivered I'm going to put all my energy into the next speech."

3. Mentally play down the importance of his speech. Who is going to remember it a hundred years later anyway?

4. Learn to grin at an audience and go right on speaking when you make a mistake, people will forget the mistake and remember the grin. A mistake always looks much bigger in the mind of the person who made it than in anyone else's thinking because he is so near it. Other people are so busy thinking about themselves (and their own mistakes) they won't remember someone else's error long.

5. Talk about something you really know. Something you know from your heart not through memorisation

6. Practice this speech drill either on your own or with someone - Choose a favourite hobby (your most active one.) Tell and show an imaginary audience how to take part in it. Do this with much pep. Put zip, spirit, and sparkle into your tones. Let your feelings show in your face, eyes and body. Overdo it! Feel that people must share your hobby, not tomorrow or next week, but as you talk about it. Do this again and again.

7. Properly prepare and practice your speech - know your subject intimately and practice as often as you can in front of the mirror, in front of friends. If possible run through the speech at the location where you are to give the speech.

8. Visualization. Visualize delivering your speech successfully as often as possible with intensity and passion.

Public speaking anxiety is something that can be overcome by all. It is a skill that is in the reach of anyone. Through a good attitude, practice and preparation it is possible for all to become proficient speakers

Arnold Patent And His Wonderful Book

Most people read a book and if it's good, they might recommend it to someone else, but if the book is great, you can guarantee they will recommend it to everyone who is interested or who they think might be interested in the book. In the field of personal development, one book comes to mind, it's called, "You Can Have It All" by Arnold Patent.

I found the book in one of our antique thrift stores and paid less than $10 for it, I really didn't think much of it and never heard of Arnold Patent before. We've all heard of Anthony Robbins, Susie Orman, Wayne Dyer, but I never heard of Arnold Patent. I skimmed through the book and it looked like a short read. I read the book in about six hours and plan to reread the book, as soon as I get it back for my daughter. The book has short chapters, most of them less than five pages.

Looking at the short chapters, you could get the impression, that there isn't very much information in each chapter, how could there be with less than five pages and some chapters less than three pages. This was very deceiving to me, because each paragraph, was like a chapter and each chapter was like a small book.

The book is full of tools and advice and combines personal development with spirituality. He has chapters on meditation, energy, enjoying what you love to do for the rest of your life, cause and effect, abundance, attachment, pain and suffering, harmony, karma the past and forgiveness.

I can't tell you what a pleasure it was to read this book and if you're looking for some basics on quite a few motivational, spiritual and laws of attraction topics, this book has almost everything you need to get you interested in changing your life. You could actually read one chapter a day and think about it for the rest of the week, there's that much information in each chapter.

I was reading one of his recommendations and it was from Oprah Winfrey, she said, "It was one of the most important books that I had ever read." That's coming from one of the most successful people in the entertainment business. I stumbled across this book and might not have ever found it, but I'm telling you about it and highly recommend it.

Relationship Self Help - No Pity Here

Until you are willing to realize relationship self help then there is no pity here. It's easy to run around and ask others for help. The thing is have you really sat down and taken a long hard look as to why you are in this mess in the first place. All too often people are quick to blame everything that happens on their ex. Well I think it takes two to tangle for the most part so have a look at where you went wrong in the relationship.

I have a strong desire to brush people off when they ask for advice if they haven't gone through the stage of relationship self help. That doesn't mean you have to find all the answers. It just means you need to understand where you went wrong and be able to make a commitment to changing. Once you have done then it may be time to start working on getting your ex back.

Once you have gone through the relationship self help stage then it may be time to ask for some help on changing things. If you truly believe you want to be a different person and you truly believe you have what it takes then it's time to go for it. You need to be able to understand the direction you are going and the direction you want to be going. You need to understand that all errors can't be fixed over night and lastly you need to understand that it just may be too late to get your ex back.

However with the right attitude and relationship self help you at least stand a chance of straightening things out. So before you even think about getting your ex back make sure you know why you are doing it and make sure it is for all the right reasons. Always be prepared for the worst in case you don't get the results you want. At this point it may be time to move on with your life and at least learn from your mistakes.

I have no certificates on my walls, I have no degrees from anywhere. What I do have is a lifetime of experiences to help others with their relationship issues.

I think life skills are more important than any others out there. So yes I would say I am very qualified to give advice on your relationship topics. Visiting my site is a must if you are looking at how to get back an ex.

Also I have built my site around a place where people can help others with stories, articles and questions and answers.

I look forward to seeing you at Get Back An Ex

Five Things You Should Know

Higher Self

Sometimes you might allow your emotional input to dictate your choices, which could be an indication that you are acting compulsively. The best way to make a distinction between intellect and emotion is to engage with your higher self to hear the wisdom of your spirit.

Your higher self (a.k.a. subconscious or collective unconscious) is connected to the universe, and also has access to your thoughts and feelings. Consider your higher self (subconscious/collective unconscious) as having a helicopter view of your actions, reactions and goings on in your life. It has the ability to weigh all the factors from a neutral place of peace. Even before a sudden impulse can be triggered, you can go within the space of your higher self by taking a deep breath and blowing it out slowly-quieting your mind-to access the wisdom within. Meditation or yoga are also highly effective in helping to connect with the higher self.

When you practice connecting to the wisdom within regularly, you will learn to discern quickly which voice is advising you. When you notice it is the ego mind or an emotional aspect, you can stop it in mid-stream.

To learn which aspect is in control you can look back to learn from previous choices and recall what your inner guidance was advising you-albeit you might not have followed it. You will learn when you have listened and when you have gone against its direction, and this information is helpful for your learning and growth. Every choice you make is an opportunity to learn about life and about yourself as you co-create with the universe.

There is no right or wrong, only choices that take you closer or farther away from your goals. Growth is a process of trial and error; experimentation. The 'failed' experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately 'works.'

When you use your higher self you know you have your best interest at heart, you can listen and trust you will be on the right track. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

A Gift of Hope - 52 Ways to Live a Better Life by Shadonna Richards - Book Review

Infinity Publishing (2009)

ISBN 9780741451675

Shadonna Richards, a Canadian registered nurse, freelance writer and former newspaper columnist, has put together a simple but concise book on how to live a better life. As a nurse working with terminally ill cancer patients, who are told they have only six months to live, she was inspired to write empowering words of wisdom. Richards also interviewed many individuals for her newspaper columns, thus compiling inspirational stories to encourage us to look at our own lives, makes changes as necessary, and to live a fulfilled life. Although her resources are Canadian, the concept of her book is global and I'm sure readers will find similar resources in their respective countries and areas.

"A Gift of Hope" is designed to be used as a workbook, with each week having an exercise to be done daily. For example, the first week starts with "Stay Mentally Fit." The text talks about the stresses in our lives and then gives exercises. The first exercise for the first week is to "Identify, then rectify." Richards says "A crucial part of any solution is locating the problem. Do worries keep you up at night? Go directly to the source of your tension." The second exercise for the first week is "Detox Your Mind." Richards says "We always have a choice. We can choose to dwell on being hopeless in situations or dwell on having hope."

The second week covers "Dare to Dream: Believe that Anything is Possible" and captures president-elect Barrack Obama's "Yes We Can" powerful slogan. Using his story and his dreams, Richards iterates that our dreams can become reality if we persist and believe.

Other weeks cover topics like: Understand That Money Isn't Everything, Reach out to those in Need, and Be the Friend You Desire to Have. For the purpose of this review I didn't have the opportunity to test the system for a full 52 weeks; however, being a student and teacher of transformation, I know it works. Shadonna Richards has provided a book, "A Gift of Hope," to take us to a higher level of consciousness, a place where we can manage our personal lives with ease and contentment.

What Happened to the Wise Men's Gifts - Thought Provoking Religious Ideas on Christianity

Do you ever wonder what ever happened to the Wise men's gifts that were given to Jesus's parents? Nobody ever talks about it and it was never mentioned again in the Bible. If it was mentioned again I would love to have somebody e-mail me some more information on what Joseph and Mary did with the gifts, that were given to the newborn King or in other words Jesus.

I didn't come up with this idea on my own, I was reading a book by George Seaver called Albert Schweitzer "The Man and His Mind." I found the book in a thrift store near Seattle, Washington while on vacation visiting one of my relatives. I heard a lot about Albert Schweitzer from various personal development and spiritual books and thought this book would be give me some insight on the man.

I really had no clue, that I would find something like this within the first few pages.

Here's a quote from the book.

When I was eight my father, at my own request, gave me a New Testament, which I read eagerly. Among the stories which interested me most was that of the Wise Man from the East. What did the parents of Jesus due, I asked myself, with the gold and other valuables that they got from the Wise men? How could they have been poor after that? And that the Wise men should never have troubled themselves again about the child Jesus, was to me uncomprehensible.

Now this is coming from an eight year old child, not someone who has researched biblical scripture their whole lives. What else are we missing in the Bible that doesn't make sense but we were trained to believe in our religions without ever questioning your religion . It's definitely something to think about and the next time you're reading something or listening to the news on TV, try to figure out if it's fact or fiction.

You definitely cannot believe everything you read or hear from outside sources. I heard once that the only things that are truly real are the things that never change. If you think about it, most things change and therefore would not be considered real.

Ponder That for a While.

What The Bleep Do You Know

Non Physical Conscious Awareness

Human Consciousness can be measured with an Electro-Encephalograph (EEG) machine. What we do not see is the non-physical aspects in the Aura of the person - the electromagnetic field of energy that surrounds the Human Body.

The Human Aura is multi-dimensional; it is not just a shell-like field of energy which is like an egg around the body. It has different layers, which correspond to the different layers of the physical body: the Whole Body, Organs, Cells, Molecules, Atoms, Finer Particles, Light Body and Core Being or Vacuum.

As well as these layers we have the Energy Centres - Chakras - coming out like cones. As the colours of these cones merge with each other we see different colours of light being formed to give us a point in the Aura of each shade and hue.

You can watch the Aura having different shades of points of light, acting like radio tuners receiving similar frequencies from our environment; the Human Body can tune into all frequencies at the same time and we can interpret these with our emotions and feelings.

When we smile we can feel the energy in our cheeks extending out from our body like angel's wings or like a magnetic field; this is created within the body, as would happen in a bar magnet. The field of energy which our physical body creates extends out into the non-physical Aura and beyond, like the force field surrounding a magnet.

Our body is sensing the astrological influences from the planets, as we exist in the Earth's Magnetic Field. All these different electromagnetic levels of energy and force have an influence on our consciousness and our thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

We notice how we feel happier on a bright, sunny day than we do when dark storm clouds are over us.

We live in an invisible field of Electromagnetic Energy which covers the full spectrum: Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Ultraviolet, Visible Light, Infra-red, Radio Frequencies, etc. We are connected as One with this field of Energy and it is part of our Conscious Awareness.

As well as this natural electromagnetic field from our solar system, we are also influenced by the electromagnetic smog of mobile phones, TV and radio and all the other methods of man-made communication using this underlying field of energy in which we live.

Human consciousness can use the underlying electromagnetic field to send messages telepathically, and to get premonitions and dj-vu insights.

The Universe uses this field of Power and Force in an effortless way, to bring about synchronicities in our life; our vibration draws to us the things which are patterned in our being; something magical seeks us out and happens in our life.

As more humans become aware of this non-physical electromagnetic field of energy, it grows stronger and the synchronicities happen more often. The accident rate is declining as everything acts as part of the whole and moves in a frictionless flow of life in Conscious Awareness.

Getting Up Earlier

Studying Other Religions - Religious Education

I started out as a Christian and lived the first 17 years of my life as one. When I started doing a little research on Christianity, this soon led me to other religions. I started to research other religions, I soon found myself having problems with the religion of my birth, Christianity. I believe that Jesus was special and for some reason, thought that he was an only child. While reading one book, I found out he had 11 brothers and sisters. I don't know if this is true but this is what the book reported.

The stuff I had been taught in Sunday school and going to, what I would like to call adult church. Listening to the sermons and of course never reading the Bible, because my main concerns at the time were playing with my friends, sports and as I entered my teens, became extremely interested in cars. I didn't have time or a desire to verify anything that I had heard about Christianity.

I read one book and that led to others and pretty soon I was confused and chose not to be a Christian anymore, because I couldn't verify if this was a religion made by God or man. Everything I was learning pointed towards man and control and money and power. The more I learned, the more forgiveness I could have towards others who belonged to other religions throughout the world.

We all want the same thing, love, compassion and understanding. Buddhism seems to represent this the most to me and I started to study it a little more diligently. I kind of became fascinated with the Dali Lama and the country of Tibet. We tend to get caught up in stuff that sounds good and makes us feel good but often can't see the problems. This happens in our daily life with work, family and fun.

I never really fell out of favor with Buddhism but soon learned enough to save this religion wasn't exactly for me either. I like some of the principles, especially the principle of compassion which tends to drive this way of life forward.

I have studied quite a few religions and still have plenty of more to educate myself on. I understand that most people don't have the time or interest to pursue this path. That's fine, but at the same time don't make fun of these religions, if you don't know anything about them and don't tell others that your religion is right if it isn't.

If you want to read something funny and get your daily laugh in, you need to read this, it's funny Using Religion Responsibility . It's based on overindulgence.

Think About Your Life

Are You Short Tempered?

Yoga, when originally conceived by the Indian Yogis was not a 'technique' to counter the everyday woes of human beings. It was not a set of methods devised to get rid of our bad habits. It was just a way to get near to the actual realm of our body. It was a way to live as the nature wished us to.

However the modern inquisitive mind always needs to see things fitting into its requirements. And, today one of the greatest requirements of the professional and personal development is to control one's temper. Thus our modern logical mind has very rightly formulated the yoga medicine to cure the anger. Actually, Yoga is nor meant for anger management, neither for stress management, not even for increasing memory! Yoga is a holistic way to control the mind and all the 'management' stuffs mentioned are just the byproducts of it.

There are three ways to deliver anger.

First is to suppress it. This is achieved through certain techniques that primarily involve delaying the response to the anger by counting, or drinking water or taking deep breaths etc.

Second is to express it at inappropriate objects (of course not at the so called reason of anger). This may be done by keeping your bad boss's picture in your home and punching at it regularly.
I am not joking, it really works in a wonderful way!

And the third way is to divert your attention from the subject of anger. This can be done by reading book, watching a movie, listening to your favorite piece of music.

These three ways are, however, just workarounds for the anger, they are not the solution for anger. The suppression and diversion are equivalent to piling up of explosives, one right (or rather wrong) spark and it will blow up everybody around, including itself. These methods, in a long run, are damaging to the mind and consequently the body. The other method of expression of anger is ineffective in a long run and after sometime you'll get fed up with punching the photo of your boss and again start feeling like actually killing him.

Then, what different way has Yoga got for anger management?
The yoga doesn't prescribe us the way to control anger; rather it makes us surpass it. Which means not to get angry at all! This is possible by first changing our outlook to anger and other different emotions of humans. They are nothing but the instant reactions to the environment guided by our previous conditionings. Thus, first we should come out of the belief that the way I am reacting is the only appropriate way to react to the particular situation. There is really no loss in not getting angry! We can experience the anger, the cause of anger, and the process of getting angry and still be happy. In fact this is the only way we can be happy.

Now, the secret is that we cannot learn some tricks and apply it when anger strikes us. Rather we need to develop a habit of not getting angry. Anger management is not about managing anger after it has occurred; it is about staying away from anger.

Learn the meditation and pranayaam, and get your mind away from day to day frenzy. This will initiate you towards the control of mind, which is essential in controlling anger. Along with this discovery of peace of mind, keep questioning yourself about why you get irritated, what leads to it, are there any similarities in the process of you getting irritated every time? Ask yourself about the thought patterns that arise in your mind following the fit of anger. Keep getting deeper into these questions by running the process of you getting angry in your mind several time. Just sit and recall some of the instances when your were furious. Now, try to remember each minute detail of the steps that lead to the explosion of your temper. Initially, this practice may make you angry once again. But, if you do this for 3-4 times you will cease getting angry and you will start noticing at least some of the stupidity involved from your side. Then as you go on you will find the sheer uselessness of anger at some of the moment. You will yourself declare that for 90% of the time your getting angry was idiotic.

Now, once you have realized it, do not just laugh it away. Try to remember this fact every time you feel your blood pressure building up. Now do not say that you are angry before you can realize that you are going to be angry. Just practice, and then you'll be able to notice each breath coming. Yoga helps you to become more and more aware of you physical and mental activities by teaching you pranayaam. Pranayaam is actually subsiding your breathing process to the maximum extent. This helps you to feel each breath coming in and going out. Thus you will know what is meant by being witness to a physical activity. Then comes the meditation that will make you observe the thoughts in your mind. Thus you'll be able to become witness to the mental and physical activities.
Apply this and become observant to the process of anger. Become witness to the anger itself. With this attitude you will be able brush-off those situations with a smile that makes others angry.

What Do You See in the Mirror?

It is time to take a serious look in a full length mirror. What do you see? What can you do to improve the reflection you see. Or perhaps you are satisfied totally with what you see. If that is the case perhaps you should stop reading this article now.

As we age we are experiencing many changes no matter what we do, say, think or eat. The body is changing as well as the spirit. Though you may think of yourself as energetic and full of fun, a few fears have crept in, and quite a bit of caution. Your optimism and hope in life has been reduced to specific dates and time constraints. Perhaps you used to just think that you had so much time to make any changes that you wished. Well as you know, that as you approach fifty you begin to realize there are more years behind you than in front of you.

Okay enough of this philosophizing lets get to work!

Got those extra pounds...take them off. Just change a few eating habits, and get out there and exercise.

Want to re-arrange your body. Well this may take a little more time, and you have to be realistic about this. You can take a few inches off the waist and tone up your arms.

Your hair looks a little drab. Go get a new style and perhaps a new color.

Your makeup is boring and unflattering, so drop in at a department store as they love helping you pick the right shades for your skin. Be careful this could be costly.

Go through your closet and get rid of all the old clothes that no longer fit, and you just have not worn. Give yourself a budget and pick out some new accessories, blouses etc. There are so many great discount stores that you can do this for very little money.

You have been rejuvenated, at least as far as your mirror goes.

Life is about always improving and being your best. Eating the most healthy food, exercising and finding joy in life is what I believe. Author of For Kids 59.99& Over. new site http://www.boomercarol.com

Jim Jones Impact On My Life

Love, Forgiveness and Gratitude

I get so frustrated with the futility of people's lives. Most people are so concerned with trivialities and protocol that they completely fail to see the reasons why they are here on earth. I don't mean that we should be irresponsible - there are some things that need to be done to earn a living or for the sake of safety or hygiene. And of course it's always a good idea to pay your bills on time. But does it really matter if you didn't watch a particular TV show tonight or if you ate tea an hour later than usual? Some people's lives are so regimented that they are not consciously aware of what they are doing most of the time; most of their everyday functions are performed on autopilot.

And does it really matter if you don't have the latest DVD, the fanciest mobile phone or more clothes than you can possibly fit into your wardrobe? I think many people need to get their priorities right! There are only three things in life that really matter - love, forgiveness and gratitude. Get these right and nothing else really matters; everything else will fall into place without a struggle. Of course you will still have challenges in your life but they will no longer seem insurmountable. Solutions will present themselves much more readily!

It isn't a coincidence that nearly all the songs we hear on the radio are about love because love really is what "makes the world go round". Without love we are nothing. I am not referring specifically to romantic love, we can love in many different ways. But the love of God goes beyond any mortal feelings. I would never have believed that a few short years ago. Regardless of what some religions may preach about God being jealous or demanding, that isn't true. God is pure love, nothing else. He loves us all without reservation, without judgement, no matter what we do in our lives or even if we believe in His existence. Hate is self destructive; it never hurts the person it is aimed at, only ourselves. Love is a much better solution.

We tend to think that when we have problems that someone else is to blame. But that is not the case at all. It is our own perception of the situation. We blame others so that we can avoid looking at the real issue behind the problem. Problems occur for one reason only and that is so we may learn a lesson. And that lesson is often about forgiveness.

Do you want a better life than what you have right now? I think most of us do. An important factor in improving your life is gratitude. When we take a little time each day to give thanks for what we have, we will open a channel to receive more of the good things. This is just the way the universe works. Thank God for the gifts you receive every day, thank your partner for being with you (and maybe putting up with your bad habits), thank your friends for being there for you when you need them, thank your children for choosing you to be their parent (and yes, we do choose our own parents before we incarnate into a human body). There are many things to give thanks for every day.

So life isn't about blame, it's about learning forgiveness. It isn't about hate, it's a lesson in love. And it isn't about resentment, it's a lesson in gratitude. As we learn these lessons and incorporate them into our daily living, the quality of our lives is vastly improved. And you will feel different because your life will be more peaceful and harmonious than it ever has been before. And you will attract a great deal more of what is good into your life.

Spirituality is a way of life for me! It isn't just what I think; it is what I feel. I have two spiritually based websites:

Choosing Subliminal CDs Or Mp3s - The Real Deal For Self Help

It is a sad, but true, fact that there are people in business in society who are less than 100% honest and ethical in many sectors of our struggling economy. They don't need to look very far to find trusting individuals who will spend hard-earned money in exchange for promises of prosperity, health or improvement; happiness, success and even miracles! In our experience within the self-help world, we have encountered both- some genuine, and others who turn out to be selfish, aggressive organizations that are good at promising great things to good people who just need a little motivation or tools to meet their own particular challenges. Some products may be inferior; and in the case of subliminal audio, it can be hard to distinguish between effective and ineffective producers. But, as in any other market, ours requires a commitment to quality, dedication to our trade and exceptional customer service in order to prove to our customers that we are for real.

Just because subliminal audio cannot be consciously heard and evaluated easily does not mean that potential clients are helpless in the choosing process. Contrary, we invite you to shop and compare. There are company that will help walk you through the process, since not many are familiar with the technologies involved in digital, subliminal audio files and discs.

If you are considering the use of such a product, for whatever reason, there are some details you should know first. For example, who designed and created the content that you are trusting to 'whisper in your ear?' Are they qualified to compose and mix the audio that you will be using to influence your subconscious mind? This is important! Which type of subliminal messages are you buying? There are several. Is the seller open and willing to share and interact with you on an individual level? Are they discrete with regard to your choice of product and your personal data? Are they overcharging you? Do you have access to reviews from others who have tried the same products, and are these testimonials genuine? Do you have a variety of choices to make for each product? These factors and others are critical to your experience and success.

If you choose music as your preferred background, can you hear a sample first? Does your prospective provider offer nature sounds, ocean waves or Silent Subliminal technology? If so, do you know how to decide which is best for you? Again, if you make the right choices before using these excellent tools, you have a better chance at beating that fear or phobia, sleeping better or changing unwanted habits. Whatever your desire in real results might be, selecting the right tool in this quest is like any other task- it can really make the difference in your future success. It's up to you to choose wisely in such an important endeavor!

Some producers of subliminal self-help audio claim to stack hundreds of audio tracks for a simultaneous experience- that the subconscious can supposedly hear each instance, using the Law of Repetition to effectively brainwash the subject by volume. We don't subscribe to this method at all. In fact your unconscious mind is much smarter than that and if it detects such a trick, forget it- all bets are off, your suggestibility factor will shut down every time. Another outdated method used by some self-help companies is hiding their subliminal verbal content with volume; the loudness of the background music or sound, or noise, is higher than the words that may or may not be consciously heard at times. Subliminal audio uses the inaudible frequency 16.5 KHz which cannot be heard by the human ear, but the subconscious definitely hears it. That is also why silent subliminal tracks are now possible, with no music or audible sounds of any kind.

Music is important, though; in most cases, it is the best background to keep your conscious mind interested in following through with listening to each entire track (repeatedly). After performing an extensive survey of people interested in self help audio, we decided to go with New Age music as our background of choice. It is beautiful, inspirational, and it evokes deep emotions for the greatest percentage of the population. This serves to create a positive experience for the listener, making it most attractive for the subconscious to accept the subliminal message on each hidden 'silent' track. Those who reject New Age are welcome to select ocean wave sounds or silent subliminal, with which you can play other music on another device to enhance your experience if you like. Just turn the volume up on the silent subliminal CD or digital track in this instance. You will not consciously hear it, but your inner self will!

If you have ever considered attending a motivational seminar, hypnosis or pro therapy, for any reason -performance enhancement, habit improvement, or success and wealth- you might want to try our subliminal audio first- because, It's All self-Help Anyway (IASHA)! And again, feel free to research for yourself; creative visualization really works to make each of us happier, healthier and more successful.

Yes, that's what each of our futures depends upon- creative visualization. Nobody ever created a fulfilling, satisfactory life without first dreaming about it. Once you define the details, deeply, and believe in them, your subconscious will get you there by inner determination. Sprudio Subliminal Audio may well be the most effective, economical tool to get you motivated and keep you that way- never, ever give up!

Crystal-Healing the Chakras: A Practical Guide

Who among us really understands the chakras? For all that we know about these seven spinal energy points, much is still undiscovered.

According to ancient texts, the chakras appear as spinning wheels of light. In fact, the word chakra is Sanskrit for wheel. Chakras receive and emit energy, which may be either negative or positive depending on the health of this energy. During the healing process, you will discover differences in the needs of each chakra. You neednt fear this challenge. Think of your chakras as a garden, with each flower requiring specialized care. Some chakras will require less attention, while others are more demanding. The dedication to this self-scrutiny makes healing the chakras as challenging as it is rewarding.

The guidelines below may be modified to your needs. When choosing stones, be attentive not to the size or appearance, but instead to your reaction when holding them. Some of these crystals may be unfamiliar, but you are likely to find them at a metaphysical or rock shop. Though you may enjoy this introduction to chakra healing, it is best to undertake long-term treatment with the guidance of a trained professional. Besides being experienced, many professional chakra healers are highly intuitive. Their objective insight may help you understand the reasons for each imbalance. This can be healing in and of itself.

1st Chakra:This is the root chakra. It is located at the base of your spine, or tailbone. The root chakra belongs to the realm of the physical. If you feel grounded, secure, and rooted in the present, this chakra needs little attention. However, many are not so blessed. A blocked root chakra may lead you to grasp at the physical, becoming clingy and overly possessive. Conversely, if youre too open here you may feel estranged from your body and possessions. As a result, your generosity may be taken advantage of.

Crystal Correction:A blocked chakra is opened by obsidian. This gem brings a centered, peaceful perspective, so that the impulse to compulsively acquire is replaced by an understanding of the temporary nature of belongings. To heal blocks, place a piece of obsidian on your genital region while lying down on your back, As you relax more the stones strength will connect with your own, enhancing it. An abundantly open root needs rose quartz. Though typically associated with the heart, this soft pink quartz allows us to accept and love ourselves, so we can protect ourselves by saying no.

2nd Chakra:The sacral chakra controls our sexual energy and creativity. You need only press two inches below your navel to feel its location. The gift of a balanced sacral chakra is expressiveness and flair. A blockage may result in resistance to new ideas. A sacral chakra thats too open is evident in the drama queen as well as in all reckless behavior, from bed-hopping to dangerous driving.

Crystal Correction: Carnelian: this variety of quartz is beautiful for opening the sacral area. Though it can be found in many colors, the stimulating qualities of red or orange give courage to the timid. This enables us to pursue our dreams, without fear-based illusions blocking our path. Conversely, if this chakra is too open, you may require lapis luizi. This historic light blue stone was highly valued in ancient Egypt and Babylon. Today, we can use its moderating properties to help us act with care. In Crystal, Gems & Metal Magic, Scott Cunningham writes: Simply touching the body with this stone improves your mental, physical, spiritual, psychic and emotional condition. For optimum benefits to the 2nd chakra, rest this stone as long as desired.

3rd Chakra:This is your solar plexus, known also as the power center. Here resides a reservoir of untapped will and heroism. When this chakra is healthy, we understand our potential and are motivated to explore it. When blocked we may feel butterflies in our stomach or suffer other stomach woes. A blocked power center makes us act and feel powerless. The opposite problem happens when this energy-center is too broad.

Crystal Correction: Golden Beryl is a light, lemon yellow stone that directs will and improves confidence. Consequently, it is fantastic for 3rd chakra blockages. Placing this stone two inches above your navel will free your power center, helping you to realize your goals. For those overwhelmed by this chakra, green jade is in order. This soothing stone helps channel our passions gently and harmlessly, and reduces negative impulses towards others.

4th Chakra: This is the heart chakra and its place is self-explanatory. This is the divine sphere of spiritual growth, love, resilience and high ideals. A congested heart chakra makes us overly critical of both others and ourselves. In this condition, we find it difficult to open ourselves to possibilities for love and friendship. Conversely, if our heart is too big, we may attempt to do the impossible, trying to carry the weight of the world.

Crystal Correction: Placed upon the heart, green jasper helps us feel secure enough to open up and reveal ourselves. This facilitates honest and joyful communication. For a heart with no bounds try peridot. This pale, pastel green stone also recharges us by calming us down. Peridot allows us to be sympathetic but not sacrificial.

5th Chakra:The throat chakra helps us communicate both through words and physical language. It is located at the base of the throat. When this chakra is balanced, we speak honestly and confidently. If we are blocked here, our deceit is subtle. For example, we may leave out information. Alternately, if this chakra is enlarged we talk too much and without forethought. This is commonly known as foot in mouth syndrome.

Crystal Correction: Sodalite;a gorgeous navy stone, helps with a constricted throat chakra. This crystal gives us courage and clarity. Knowing our truth, we may sound it with conviction. On the other hand, those with an expansive 5th chakra need to sound their truth more quietly. In this capacity, amber is helpful. This stone is intensely soulful. In The Crystal Handbook, Kevin Sullivan reveals that in Viennese esoteric literature, Amber marked the resting place of the spirit or spirits believed to animate the stone. Fossilized, multimillion year-old tree sap, amber gifts us with the natural wisdom of early earth.

6th Chakra: Many know this energy center, located between the brows, as the 3rd eye. If in balance, this chakra gives us the ability to peer beyond appearances, revealing our innate psychic potential. When it is blocked, however, we limit ourselves to unexamined facts. This leads to rigid thinking and interrupted joy. However, if we are too open here we may be disconnected from the physical world. An inability to shut the psychic eye, when fitting, floods with an upsetting sense of unreality. Balance is key. As we dream, we also must wake

Crystal Correction:A moonstone placed on the 6th chakra can clear the issues that blind our intuition, and open the mind to the unseen. Because moonstone is related to cycles of change, it invites personal growth. This helps us tune into flow, welcoming spontaneity and releasing rigidity. With an unnecessarily open 3rd eye, blue lace agate is needed. This pretty, sky-blue stone sharpens our focus, clearing out the clutter of psychic distraction.

7th Chakra: Wow! Words are not enough to express the capacity of the crown chakra.. Situated at top-center of your head, this chakra presents the possibility of enlightenment. Though balancing it wont make us a Buddha, it will surely carry us to peaks of spiritual ecstasy and connect us with our lifes purpose. If youre blocked here, youre far from alone. A healthy crown chakra is rare. It is the gift of tireless efforts in spiritual self-development. When blocked, we may be confused about our career and lack lasting, rapturous peace. For maximum results at balancing this chakra, we must first ensure the wellbeing of our previous chakras. Having this chakra too open is rarely a problem, unless you dislike joy and harmony. Yet, we live among the disenchanted. We must be able to communicate with both the cynic and the sorrowful. Otherwise we are trapped in our own mind. As safe as this place is, it can get pretty lonely.

Crystal Correction:Clear quartz is a trusted healer for all chakras, but it particularly useful in opening the closed crown. Due to the 7th chakras location, the crystal selected should be small enough to rest on the top of your head. This stone provides clarity of purpose and allows us to see the broader meaning in everyday events. In doing so, it guides us to understand and live in sync with universal truths. For those with an overly open crown chakra, hematite is healing. It is also grounding. By drawing attention to the practical realities of existence, this dark and powerful stone will help us meet our own and others earthly needs.

Sidebar: Discover Your Blocks with a Pendulum

Using a pendulum is a quick and reliable way to self-diagnose your chakra imbalances. To start, obtain a 6-sided quartz pendulum from a rope or chain. Many metaphysical shops carry these beauties. Hold this crystal steadily over the chakra you are most curious about. Soon, you will notice the crystal begin to move. Do not be concerned about the direction of the swing. On the contrary, width is whats important. An extremely wide swing indicates an overly open chakra, where a tight, shaky swing identifies a block.

Spiritual Coaching May Be Your Key For a Better Future

Discovering the peace and power that is required to make positive change in your life isn't always easy. It can require you to be honest with yourself in ways that you aren't used too - instead of simply assuming that everything is fine, you will have to take a deep look at yourself and acknowledge all of the things which aren't fine in your life.

Many people can find this sort of self-honesty difficult at first, which is where spiritual coaching comes into play; by having another to help you in your inner journey you will be able to more easily come to terms with your burdens, heartaches, and emotional bindings that are currently holding you back.

Spiritual coaching gives you a guide on your voyage of self-discovery, someone who can ask you the right questions to get you to look deep within. Unlike some other "self help" gurus who want you to simply repeat their mantra, your spiritual coach will be focused instead on actually helping you to help yourself.

Remember, you're the one who has to do the work when it comes to unlocking your inner power and finding the peace that you seek. Spiritual coaching just presents you with the support that you need to stay on your path, giving you prompts as to where you should go next but never attempting to force your decision.

The best way to look at spiritual coaching is to consider your coach to be a friend and guide for your journey. The path that you take is up to you, but you will have your spiritual coach to give advice and to help you to get through the difficult parts.

They will be able to point out landmarks within your mind and spirit that you may not be able to see, giving you an opportunity to deal with those things which you might otherwise have avoided because you simply assumed them to be permanent fixtures within your inner world.

You and your spiritual coach share the same common goal, and with their guidance you will be able to finally unlock those internal chains that bind you. But, please realize that nothing will happen if you do not take action. The only thing you can control in this life is your thoughts. Turn your thoughts and focus toward finding a spiritual coach. When the student is ready the teacher appears. If you make the efforts in your thoughts you will find the right spiritual coach for you.

It is possible to quickly accelerate one's progress through the use of modern psychology, yoga, mind dynamics and principles of faith.

Return to the Sacred - Ancient Pathways to Spiritual Awakening by Jonathan H Ellerby, PhD

I love this book. Sometimes books just seem to fall into our hands as we most need a message. That happened to me with this one. Not accepting traditional religions or any organized group or one set of beliefs/rituals, I prayed/meditated/communed with my Creator in any number of unorganized ways. While this book didn't make me want to change any of that, it provided a framework for me to be more comfortable with my current choices and opened up new possibilities.

First, Dr. Ellerby defines Spirituality, and I love his line, "We are spiritual beings having a human experience - not the other way around" (38). This is one of my favorite new lines.

He also explains that "Spirituality isn't a quick fix or a magical escape. But it can teach you how to meet life's choice and challenges with clarity and intention" (42). A good reminder for us all. Becoming spiritual does not mean the end of problems, but a higher outlook provides a better way to handle and view our dilemmas.

Second, Dr. Ellerby is very clear that we all need a spiritual practice. I agree. "Spiritual practice is essential to spiritual growth" (23), and "The mind can only take us so far into the world of spirit" (17).

In his insistence that we have a spiritual practice, Dr. Ellerby is not dogmatic about how that practice should look. He simply advises that we choose a path that is right for us. Permission to choose is comforting and part of a practical spirituality that deviates from traditional dogma. This flexibility does not justify lack of action, but allows us to define our own way to the Sacred.

Finally, Dr. Ellerby presents 12 Master Paths, or different types of spiritual practices. He doesn't just tell us we need to have a spiritual practice; he provides all of the possible roads we might choose. Each one has an ancient past, and most are known to us in some form.

Ceremony and ritual, sacred movement, music and sound, prayer, meditation, and sacred study are six possible paths. The next group consists of devotion, sacred service, guru, aesthetic practice, death practice, and a life path. A discussion of these will follow in a second ezine article.

Fear is our greatest barrier to any spiritual practice. We are often afraid to trust anything beyond the realm of science or reason. Trust becomes the key ingredient in choosing, and then following, a spiritual practice.

Spiritual growth requires spiritual practice, and this book provides direction and answers.

Spirit to Spirit: A Letter to My Friend

Good morning beloved,

I always feel a need to let people know when they have especially touched my soul. Thus, I send this memo to you this morning.

I deeply appreciate our mutually engaging discussion yesterday. It is always a particular blessing to hear from those I love but even more so when the beloved has chosen to partner with me in lifes struggles. For me, there is no greater expression of agape affection. I am above all women, most blessed to have you in my life.

Most spiritually developed people, somewhere along lifes journey, made the alarming discovery that it is only in the world of spirits where truth is found and life is genuine. When spirits meet and commune, life in the fake world is different and tolerable. We understand that we are in it, but not of it. We cannot and will not adjust to it because it is fake and it incarcerates the soul. It distorts the real and meaningful and promotes evil in disguises of good. The fake world delights in its followers because it knows what their ultimate end will be.

We are not popular in the fake world because it knows that we know it is fake. It cannot touch us because we are not inclined to be impressed with its allures. We are not moved by its temptations and are not easily persuaded. Thus, we are enemies of the fake world. While we are in it, it seeks to trick us, by any means necessary, to succumb to its power and bow down in humble worship of all that is fake. Unfortunately, there are those who have weakened under the pressure and surrendered.

I suppose I am sharing this with you because it is my thoughts this morning. Beware of the fake. Run from it. Find refuge in the spirit; the place where God is and where angels live and where all those who have found their way, escape from the fake world. Stay focused on the genuine, the real, and the eternal. Keep Jesus in your heart, soul and mind. Never, ever, forget, that life is like the grass that grows up in the morning and before night falls, it withers away. We do not have long to be here. Stay focused beloved. Treat your family and friends with patience and tender loving care. There is a separation day coming.

Yours in the bond of Christian Love,

Manifesting Your Goal

The reason most people are not able to manifest or bring to realization the dreams that they have or the goals that they set to achieve is because they do not really know what is it that they really want.

It is near to the time of the year again where people will start to reflect back on what they had achieved this year and start making new year resolution. For some it can be heart wrenching to realized that they had not done anything the past one year while for few others, they felt fulfilled that they had achieved what their heart set upon.

Here are some methods which I found very helpful to keep track on the realization of our goals and dreams:

1. Are you excited about the goals that you have set to achieve?

If your goals does not make you feel energize everyday of your life than that goals are not worth your efforts. Goals should be very exciting and should not be so general that it does not create any juice in your life. For example, this is how most people set their goals. I want to be rich, I want to be healthier next year. I want to read 2 more books next years. Are not these goals a little bit boring?

If I want to set my goals, I would set it this way, next year I would want to earn an extra 100,000 USD because I wanted to get my own BMW X5 black colour with racing tyre and full accessories. I would spend 1 day driving this car intercity with my wife, just the two of us.

Now isn't this a better and much more exciting goal to be achieved? I hope that you understand what I mean. Just like reading a book, if that is your goal, make it more exciting like I plan to read 2 books about building my own tree house, once I finished reading the books, I would know how to build a tree house and I would make one for my son so that we can spend the whole sunday afternoon together.

2. Do you know why you have to achieve those goals and what they can do for you and your families?

Most people writes goals and do not even know why they want to achieve those goals. They are writing it because everyone else is doing it for the new year resolutions. No wonder most of them never achieve their goals. Why you have to achieve those goal, and what can they do for you. For example you want to have $1 million dollar because you want to make sure that your parents that you loved so much have enough for their retirement and that will give you total satisfaction and will definitely strengthen your family bond even more and you can do many wonderful things with your parents such as going around the world showing them places that they will never think they can see.

Isn't that more interesting that just having the one million dollar?

3. Any plans in achieving them?

Once you have an interesting goals and you know why you have to achieve them, then you got to plan on how are you going to achieve it. Break it down from the end to now. Tell yourself what if there is no limitation in achieving these goals, what will you do to go after these goals.

4. Just Do it.

Last but not the least, planning and dreaming will never make it come true. Just do your plan step by step each day and you will reach your goals eventually.

Just do it,

Affirmations - Far More Than Just Positive Thinking

When someone mentions affirmations, the first thing that comes into your mind is positive thinking. The classic positive thinking affirmation was created by Dr. Emil Coue. "Everyday in every way, I get better and better. The idea behind this type of affirmation is to create new positive habits and thoughts. This works very well but, it is only half of the story. There is another type of affirmation and it is just as important as positive affirmations.

The problem is that the subconscious mind accepts any belief without question. For example, the old belief that you wish to replace is that wealthy people are greedy. You have heard this throughout your lifetime and it becomes set in stone in your subconscious. When you realize that you have this false belief, normally, you would create an affirmation that will give you a new belief. For example, you might start using an affirmation like: I am grateful that my wealth grows each and everyday for with great wealth I can do great good.

This is an excellent new belief for your subconscious but, it also creates a problem. Although the subconscious has accepted this new belief, it has also created a conflict in your mind. Although you have created a new positive belief, it has not eliminated the old negative belief that rich people are greedy. Both beliefs are existing side by side in your mind and the old belief still has it's self-limiting effects.

What I use to overcome the old negative thought pattern is what I call a reprogramming affirmation. The point of this is to convince the subconscious that the old self-limiting belief needs to be eliminated from the data bank. Reprogramming affirmations tend to be somewhat more complex than positive affirmations.

For example, my reprogramming affirmation might read something like: Many people say that the rich are greedy but this is a false belief. Rich people have an abundance mindset and readily give away large portions of their income because they know that their is a limitless supply of wealth. For example, Bill Gates out of the kindness of his heart has created numerous philanthropic organizations and given away millions of dollars of his personal worth to help the poverty stricken of the world. He is super rich but obviously not greedy.

The subconscious is not capable of judgment. It runs automatically in the background and helps us make it through the day. It is our conscious responsibility to control and correct any data that is held within it's data banks. Properly programmed, the subconscious will rapidly propel us toward limitless wealth and self-fulfillment. But, only when there are no conflicts within the data of this most powerful of digital computers.

Claiming Your Good is Spiritual

As a teacher of how to use one's mind to manifest the things a person wants, I very often get the objection, "But what if what I want isn't what the Universe, my Higher Self, wants for me?" My response is, "Why wouldn't the Universe want the best that you can imagine for yourself? Your Higher Self is in you, around you, thinking through you." Most people still have the old idea of the Universe, God, as a wise old man, sitting on a throne, doling out good to us a little at a time. This isn't true.

Think of the highest and best of yourself, and your Universal Self is infinitely greater than that. But the Universe is still existing in you, through your thoughts and your desires. As you choose something better than you've had, say more health, more happiness, more money, why wouldn't that more joyous wholeness of you want you to have it? You are simply accepting more of the good of the Universe. All good has already been given to you. Remember, the Universe always says "Yes" to you. Whatever you focus your attention on, your Higher Selves gives you.

Another concern that people have is that "I feel I'm manipulating the Universe by trying to focus on what I want." Manifesting what you want isn't coercing the Universe. You are simply accepting more of the Universal energy as substance. The Universe isn't just wonderful, fuzzy ideals of love and joy. It is also all of the material substance that your physical world is created from. Divinity is Love energy in physical form.

The chair you sit on, the job you have, your relationships, your finances, your health, all if this is Love in material form in your life. It is up to you to decide how much of that Energy you will accept. The Universe wants to give you all you could ever desire. The purpose of focusing on what you want is to change YOUR mind to accept it, to realize that you deserve it. Not to change the Universal Mind.

When a smoker chooses to quit smoking, does that mean that they're choosing something other than what their Higher Self wants for them? Are they manipulating the Universe? Of course not. They are choosing life and health. They've decided they want more of the goodness of the Universe.

When you have a cold, and you want to feel better, are you trying to force the Universe to give you other than good health, which is normal and natural? No. You are simply aligning yourself with harmony and joy when you affirm health. You are simply changing your mind to accept what is already yours.

Generally, people will then ask, "Is it spiritual to focus on material good?" It's all spiritual. To believe that your thoughts of joy and love are the only spiritual things about you separates you from the Infinite. There is no separation between your Highest Thoughts and your more material ideas, and the ultimate physical manifestation of those thoughts and ideas. There is an old saying, "God is the giver, and God is the gift."

Think of it this way. You (an expression of God) are focusing on more good (God), say a new car (God in the form of a car, created by another expression of God). You buy it from an individual (an expression of God) or a dealership (yes, even the salesperson is an expression of God). You exchange money (God substance) for God in the form of a vehicle for you (an expression of God) to move around in. It is all God, Universal energy.

The only limitation put on your experience of Infinite energy is your beliefs, ideas, and thoughts. Any choice you make is a limitation on the Goodness of the Universe. But that's all the Infinite has to work with. Your ideas, beliefs, your vision. You can raise your thoughts to the abstract of accepting more joy, love, and harmony, and the Universal energy will manifest through those thoughts to the level you can accept.

Or you can get more specific, and expand your beliefs to deliberately raise your level of acceptance to a more specific expression of Universal energy, such as health, or financial freedom. You can focus on poverty and struggle, or you can expand your awareness to ease and financial comfort. Whichever way you choose, it is your Higher Self giving Itself to you. Your good has already been given to you. The choice of how you want your life to be is up to you.

Law of Attraction - The True Power of Positive Visualization

Law of Attraction was made popular when a movie called The Secret was released in 1996! It featured Bob Proctor, Joe Vitale, John Demartini and many more.

Before I tell you what is the most important thing that I learned from the Secret movie (and what you can learn from that), I would like to ask you one very quick question - "Are we actually responsible for everything that happens to us or are they just any "external events" that we have no control of?

Think about that for a moment and have you got your answer? Good. Let's keep the answer aside for a moment, but continue reading the following.

In the movie, The Secret, it is reported that a vegetable managed to walk again from his dead bed because of using The Secret, i.e. The Law of Attraction. He managed to do that because he believed that he had the power to influence what would happen to him from that day onwards, and he changed the outcome.

It is very common that these group of people who use The Secret stay energized and not allow themselves to feel down. They actually determine the path for their own life journeys.

So how about us? Do you choose your own life journey? Do you really do what you want to do in life? Or you are just too busy being pulled by all these other "life factors" that you have lost the direction to design your own life?

It is very common in today's world that one just lives like everybody else even though they consciously know that they are unhappy about it, but they are too scared to change or move out their comfort zones...

Now, one thing is for sure, if you let your life control you, then you will be controlled, and there is no point for you to moan about it because you let it to be in that way!

If you are "negative" about life... Maybe it is time for you to change the negative side about yourself. Start living in positive environment. Think positive. Behave positive. Talk positive. Everything is positive!

I always tell others this when people seek me out for success coaching - I tell them to develop child-like-thinking. You know that children love to explore the world and what life has to offer. They are willing to put themselves out there just to learn. They have this tremendous energy for life!

When you develop same kind of mindset, it is easy for you to develop the habits of attracting positive things. Then you can change the negative side about yourself. You will start living in positive environment.

The true power of positive visualization is that it allows you to live life to its fullest potential and for all that it has to offer without letting negativity bring you down. When you start to find your thoughts, drifting to the negative it is your responsibility to make an effort to make them positive instead. You will be able to set goals and reach them because you will believe that you can do it.

The Law of Attraction says that one should never let failures distract them, as there is no such thing as "failures". Use the Law of Attraction to learn what is really going on in your life and if there is a problem you can get past it easily! Stop letting yourself feel sorry about what was happening in your life and start looking at all the positive things you have gotten out of it. By the time you managed to do all these you will never be worried about being able to do anything as you know you can do anything when you focus on the tasks.

The Secret, a.k.a, The Law of Attraction is true and real and has a power that is undeniable.

One of the most important things that I got from the movie, is that whatever happens to us is due to our own doings. We all have both good and bad experiences in our lives, and they are both results of our own actions. Because of this, we are lucky that we have the power to change our lives for the better starting right now!

The Power of Subliminal Suggestion

Are you looking for a technique that will help you influence others' opinions and actions? Many people believe subliminal suggestion is a method that will work to manipulate others' minds. For the last hundred years, governments and advertisers have tried to use subliminal suggestions to persuade people.

Perhaps you are not interested in persuading others, but you are intrigued by the idea of increasing your own satisfaction in life. Many experts believe subliminal suggestions can be used to enhance performance at work, help you quit smoking, or build your self-assurance.

While there is no concrete evidence that subliminal suggestion works, many people have been convinced of the power of subliminal messages. Subliminal communications supposedly bypass the thinking, conscious brain. Instead, they pass directly into the subconscious part of the mind and influence a person's belief and knowledge structures.

It has been proven that the subconscious mind picks up messages throughout your daily life experience. The subconscious does use that information to change behavior in the conscious mind; examples include instinctual reactions to stimuli. Those who believe in the power of subliminal suggestion believe that the subconscious mind is very powerful, and that it exerts a lot of control over conscious decisions.

Many celebrities like Anthony Robbins and Tiger Woods claim that subliminal suggestions are a key to their success. These celebrities use books, videos, and other forms of subliminal control to influence their performance and concentration. Like these well-known stars, many people attempt to harness the power of their subconscious by subjecting their mind to rapidly flashing images or subtle auditory suggestions hidden behind music.

Proponents say that subliminal suggestion can be used to improve your life in many areas. Subliminal messages can help you achieve goals like losing weight or gaining self-confidence. By influencing the conscious mind through imprinting messages onto the subconscious mind, perhaps you can improve your life as well!

Self Improvement and Overcoming Frustration

We all suffer from frustration, and being able to effectively deal with frustration is very important for self improvement. It can be a decisive factor between success and failure.

Frustration can have highly damaging impact on our frame of mind. It can turn a positive person into a negative person. It can inhibit our progress and, in the most extreme cases can completely immobilise us. We can become so wound up with our frustration that we cant think or act rationally, or we can even become aggressive. Our frustration can often exacerbate the situation and create a vicious circle. If we are convinced that our actions are not working, no matter how hard we try, we are much more likely to reduce, rather than increase, our chances of success.

There are countless causes of frustration, and what affects one person may have no impact on someone else

There are no simple answers or remedies. Some people simply give up on what they were trying to achieve. Some people walk away from the cause and go onto something else, and find they can then face the problem rationally when they come back to it. Stepping back from the cause of the frustration and making yourself calm down will help us to see things more clearly.

Persistence and determination can often see us through our frustration, particularly if we first make ourselves calm down. Movement can help - standing up and taking a few deep breathes, or going for a walk can help to clear our minds. Sometimes we may need to look for alternatives we hadnt considered before, or totally different approaches. There are times when we may be out of our depth, in which case we need to recognise this, and be prepared to ask for advice and support from specialists that can help us.

All successful people have to deal with plenty of frustration as they progress towards their goals, this may even be one of the biggest reasons for their success. Their frustration with their poor results or lack of success may have been so great they were driven to set goals and inspired to work hard at achieving them. They almost certainly learned strategies and techniques to deal with their frustrations, which allowed them to overcome their problems and be more productive, which definitely contributed to their success.

Positive Affirmations to Improve Your Life

If you don't understand how repeating positive affirmations to yourself will improve your life, you're not alone.

First, let's define what positive affirmations are. A positive affirmation is a personal statement using a word or phrase to create a desired condition or outcome.

In reality, you use affirmations every day through your own self-talk, an inner dialogue constantly running in your head, which can be either positive or negative. Through this self-talk, you are affirming certain beliefs to - as well as about - yourself.

All of your previous thoughts, feelings and actions have created your life up to this point. You are what you think about yourself on a consistent basis. This is the reason positive affirmations can be so beneficial, and equally, why negative affirmations can be so harmful.

It is truly unfortunate that people typically find it easier to affirm the negative about themselves, For instance, when you look in the mirror, do you typically think, "wow, I look great!", or would, "I need to lose weight" be a more likely thought? This negative thinking often becomes habitual.

The good news is that you can change your inner dialogue with positive affirmations. To create any positive change in your life, you must first change your thoughts. Once you change your thoughts, your feelings will naturally change, and your actions will follow. Profound results from those changes will drastically improve any area of your life.

Positive affirmations can be performed using various methods. You can write your own positive affirmations, use pre-made affirmation cards, listen to audio affirmations like positive affirmation cds or mp3s, or even have positive affirmations flash on your computer screen.

Arnold Patent And His Wonderful Book

Most people read a book and if it's good, they might recommend it to someone else, but if the book is great, you can guarantee they will recommend it to everyone who is interested or who they think might be interested in the book. In the field of personal development, one book comes to mind, it's called, "You Can Have It All" by Arnold Patent.

I found the book in one of our antique thrift stores and paid less than $10 for it, I really didn't think much of it and never heard of Arnold Patent before. We've all heard of Anthony Robbins, Susie Orman, Wayne Dyer, but I never heard of Arnold Patent. I skimmed through the book and it looked like a short read. I read the book in about six hours and plan to reread the book, as soon as I get it back for my daughter. The book has short chapters, most of them less than five pages.

Looking at the short chapters, you could get the impression, that there isn't very much information in each chapter, how could there be with less than five pages and some chapters less than three pages. This was very deceiving to me, because each paragraph, was like a chapter and each chapter was like a small book.

The book is full of tools and advice and combines personal development with spirituality. He has chapters on meditation, energy, enjoying what you love to do for the rest of your life, cause and effect, abundance, attachment, pain and suffering, harmony, karma the past and forgiveness.

I can't tell you what a pleasure it was to read this book and if you're looking for some basics on quite a few motivational, spiritual and laws of attraction topics, this book has almost everything you need to get you interested in changing your life. You could actually read one chapter a day and think about it for the rest of the week, there's that much information in each chapter.

I was reading one of his recommendations and it was from Oprah Winfrey, she said, "It was one of the most important books that I had ever read." That's coming from one of the most successful people in the entertainment business. I stumbled across this book and might not have ever found it, but I'm telling you about it and highly recommend it.

Greg Vanden Berge is a published author, internet marketing expert, motivational inspiration to millions of people all over the world and is sharing some of his wisdom with experts in the fields of writing,marketing, and personal development. Check out one of his recommended books, You Can Have It All
