A few months ago I managed to find a way of eradicating my ever recurring problems of becoming down and depressed. Within the confides of this article I will be writing about this potential solution for depression which may well lead to a far more enjoyable and contented life for many people – I hope you enjoy the read.

Before I continue I would like to point out that I am in no way involved in the “depression industry”; I actually involved with stammering treatment, front doors and providing people with information about how to become a foster parent.

I am the type of person who can easily let things get on top of me. At the times when I am expected to run about and to act quickly I soon start to panic; I then become flustered etc. I am sure this is the same for many people but the way it affects me over the next twenty-four hours is somewhat different. I seem to lose all of my energy and this then can easily lead me into thinking in a very negative way, often ending with me becoming quite depressed.

For whatever reason this depression can stay and in a way haunt my life for quite a few days. I begin to worry about the future, start to think that I am a failure, start to become paranoid about what other people think of me and basically become scared to leave my own house.

Possible solution to my depression

A few weeks ago I was watching a television program which has since had a massive impact on my life. It was an army type program and it talked about how one particular group of soldiers had all seemingly become ill and could not even complete the most routine of tasks.

A general practitioner was asked to visit the site to see whether they could work out what may be going wrong. The initial belief was that it was likely to be some form of food poisoning.

The GP advised for a large number of salt tablets to be delivered to the camp as many of the people there were suffering from salt deprivation.

The next time I felt I was becoming down or when I was over tired, I ate food products which contained a lot of salt and I am very happy to report that I quickly regained my energy and confidence levels. Such a simple solution to what was once such a huge problem for me.

I know that what I have written above may well seem rather bizarre however it works for me. Why not give it a try yourself the next time you are feeling a bit low? You never know it might just work.

There is no denying the fact that the belief in past life, or reincarnation, is prevalent across the board in almost every religion, from Christianity to Hinduism to Buddhism to Kabalah. And the interest of humans in knowing as much as possible about their past lives is also quite widespread. But how many of us are interested in knowing about our past lives in order to make a positive change in our present lives?

Unfortunately, most of us are only interested in the happenings of our prior lifetimes due to curiosity. The will to change our present lives for good is what makes Past Life Regression (PLR) such a beneficial therapy.

Modern science has also dwelt a lot on the beneficial features of Past Life Regression and most studies have concluded that indeed, humans can make a positive change in their lives by learning from the traumatic experiences of their past lives.

While Past Life Regression can be done either by yourself using the technique of self-hypnosis if you know how to do it or by hiring the services of a PLR expert for a few sittings.

Before beginning a past life regression session it is imperative that you are certain and believe certain things.

Past life is a part of our present life. The memory of events from previous lives is hidden somewhere in the unconscious that just needs some external help to bring it to life.

Mere knowledge of past life experiences add up to nothing. The knowledge gained thus, must be put to practical use in the present life for better results.

Past life, experiences can be taken and used to make a positive change in this present life. Learning from the mistakes you made in your previous life can help you avoid them in this one.

There are a few people who cannot for whatever reason believe in past lives or reincarnation. However they can still benefit from past life regression therapy. Positive changes or avoiding huge mistakes in this life are all possible even if you think that it is all in your imagination.

Whether you are a believer or not experts still say that you can benefit from past life regression therapy for a couple of reasons.

*Taking something you learned from a session and making a change in your present life points to the idea that it was a real past life event.

*Even if ultimately you believe that it is all in your imagination, you can still benefit from the effects of unblocking things which may have caused you emotional or physical problems.

Exactly what are all the benefits to a past life regression session?

*It helps in healing the past emotional traumas that are wrecking havoc in our present lives.

*You end up as a better person

*Learning from the mistakes committed in the past prevents the repetition of those mistakes in the present life. For instance, you may have acted cruelly against someone in your past life. This knowledge will help you avoid the same behavior in your present life.

*It can bring to mind special talents or skills you have forgotten. You certainly had skills in that life that have been buried in your subconscious. Bringing them out could change your life.

*Opening windows into the past opens up doors for future benefit.

Past Life Regression is certainly a win-win proposition for believers and disbelievers. If you want to make a positive change in your present life, it is definitely worth trying!

Taking a remote view involves broad and many faceted subjects. However, simply put actual viewing is being somewhere and seeing something as it is happening. Remote viewing is seeing something while being in a distant and remote location.

Although, there is a bit of controversy as to the details of remote viewing, it seems that no one really knows exactly how or why it works. Moreover, various remote viewing case studies have a proven record of accomplishment of producing results.

It works so well in fact, that various governments the world over have used the practice for their own countries security objectives or spying purposes. However, history tells us that various government officials did become concerned about the art of remote viewing leveraged against them and then decided to terminate the government programs concerning the subject. The research documents were declassified and the idea of being able to remote view became popular with the public.

Learn To Remote View

Using your potential senses and powers of extra sensory perception, you can practice remote viewing. It is, in a sense, much like practicing astral projection since you do not have to be in the actual place of what you are viewing, while you are viewing the scene.

Viewing any location you desire is possible when you are remote viewing, since there is no limit to the locations you can view. You can view the past, the present and even the future if you wish to do so.

Everybody is capable of practicing remote view techniques, but many people have to make a dedicated effort in order learn how to properly focus and to train the conscious mind to achieve remote viewing. However, there are people that display a natural talent or gift for accomplishing remote viewing.

When you are interested in experiencing your reality in a new alternative perspective, you find that learning to remote view is very beneficial to you. You can learn how to enhance your natural ability of operating at a very high level of vibrations with your thoughts when you learn and practice the art of taking a remote view.

Things You Can Do To Enhance Your Ability to Remote View

There are various means of remote viewing methods and techniques that can help you to learn how to remote view. In order to succeed in the ability you must learn how to quite your mind and focus your concentration intently on any area, individual or object that you cannot actually and physically view.

You can learn how to develop your remote viewing talents by keeping an open mind, while you develop your other extrasensory perception powers. Practicing some type of visualization and meditation methods can help you perfect your ability to remote view. You can also use an assortment of products in your own home or you can make an appointment to meet with a remote viewing expert.

For instance, a remote viewing journal is very resourceful, because you can track your progression of remote viewing. Without having to actually be, in any particular area, you can remote view any place or scene you desire to see.

Make a point of asking yourself to find out the answer to a particular question before going to sleep and then record in your journal the message you receive. Do your practices at a time when you will not be disturbed for the best results.

Another popular exercise to learn how to remote view is to hold a photograph or drawing in your hands face down where you cannot see the scene. Then you should ask yourself to view or see the scene or picture. With practice, you will be able to increase your innate talents and skills.

You must be patient with yourself and your remote viewing experiences while you are learning how to develop your remote viewing talents. Give yourself time to learn what works best for you.

A lot of us know what we want out of life, but it’s also true that very few of us seem to actually get it. We don’t have the expensive cars, great mansions, jobs we want, or perfect families. Instead, we struggle, try and fail to get those things, but why? We have the skills and abilities we want, and the winners at this are no better than we are, but we don’t know just what attracting abundance means.

What does it mean when we say ‘attracting abundance‘? It means that you attract what you want and need into your life for your subconscious and conscious mind. In short, you let the universe know that you are worth your dreams, and you’re worth having them come true. Once we know this for ourselves and once we realize the power of the universe, this abundance can’t help but come to us. We will truly be blessed beyond measure.

Thoughts have power. Our thoughts reflect our self-esteem, needs, and desires; directly influencing what comes into our lives. If your thoughts are filled with self-loathing and lack of belief in your own abilities, attracting abundance will be practically impossible. However, if you turn to positive thinking to teach yourself how to be confident and believe you deserve to get what you want, then you can have a life overflowing in abundance.

What is it about attracting abundance that some people seem to get and others don’t? In fact, no one is special and everyone can do this. It can work well for you, no matter who you are, as long as you harness your thoughts and ask the universe for guidance. Figure out why you want the things you want, and use meditation and self-reflection to help discover just exactly what that is.

To start attracting abundance, use note cards or a journal to record your daily thoughts. When you catch yourself making negative thoughts, write them down on a note card. Look at what you have written and write down a positive response. For example, writing ‘I hate my job.’ does not help you focus on your goal of getting a better paying job.

You could replace this negative draining thought by writing down ‘I deserve to work in a position I love.’ You can also choose to make the statement more detailed if desired. Using the note card to write down the specific field you are interested in, the ideal salary, and the exact position. Constantly look at these note cards and mentally picture yourself getting what you want.

You can also make a box for your goals, and put your note cards, pictures, and anything else that’s going to support this positive thinking into it. If you want a house, put a picture of the house you want into the box. If you want a car, put a picture of the car you want into the box.

Fantasy is very important when it comes to attracting abundance. Daydreaming, meditation and sleep unleash creativity and imagination. Our relaxed minds are more open, and we can fantasize without having to deal with negative thoughts interrupting us. One of the best ways to do this is to focus on what you want from the universe as you fall asleep.

Meditate in front of a picture that represents the goal you want to achieve, or your box of goals. Look in the mirror every day and say something nice about what you see to increase your confidence.

Remember, too, that once you can actually connect with it, the universe will give you what you want quite quickly. Watch and see; once you fully believe that attracting abundance is easy, see just how easy it doesn’t come, and you’ll see that obstacles and stumbling blocks simply seem to disappear and melt away.

In the last few weeks I have taken the big step of talking to my mum and dad about my problems with depression. My mother has said that she thinks we have some kind of depression gene as most of our family suffer from similar symptoms.

I would like to start by making it clear that I do not work in the “depression” industry; I personally offer a stammering course; training for foster carers and also offering business cost reduction ideas..

I have as recently as last week suffered with a severe bout of this depression, however from it I learnt a valuable lesson. I had been having a bad period in my life where seemingly everything was going wrong. I had nothing to look forward to and decided that I needed a night out with my friends. There was one intention that I had in mind which was to get as drunk as possible.

The next day I felt really ill and hungover after having a very late night and as planned a huge amount of alcohol. For the whole day I struggled to stay awake and as the day wore on I became more and more depressed. My head was suddenly thinking some rather bad thoughts – I just could not seem to get into any sort of positive frame of mind – negativity had taken over my body~My head was suddenly thinking some rather bad thoughts – I just could not seem to get into any sort of positive frame of mind – negativity had taken over my body}.

The lesson I have learnt is that is not a good idea to go out drinking alcohol if you are feeling low and depressed.

I have to say that my mum and dad are in fact extremely astute people which makes me wonder why I did not seek their advice on a more often basis in the past. This turned out to be a perfect example of this as they once again gave me some top guidance. They asked me to think about all of the things and aspects of my life that were getting me down~They wanted me to write a list of all of my worries and problems; the things that were causing me to spiral in and out of depression}~They wanted me to write a list of all of my worries and problems; the things that were causing me to spiral in and out of depression}. What I then needed to do was to talk about them and to think positive by attempting to find solutions to each of these problems.

This is not at all easy to do but is something I now try. I have realised that it is good to talk about our fears and phobias and that there is nothing wrong with admitting that you are stressed and depressed.

I now try to think positive in all situations, life is far too short to be always worrying about everything. I have also started to read a lot of self-help books, these have taught me quite a lot of new things and have given me many new ideas.

Clairvoyance is definitely a controversial topic-no matter to whom you speak. It goes against the grain of many religious beliefs and the reality most people understand. And while medical science has taught us much about the human mind, there is still so much that is unknown or unproven that we remain mystified about topics such as this. People who believe in the power and abilities of clairvoyants believe those people are able to tap into a sixth sense or a region of the brain not yet fully explored or understood.

Perhaps everyone has a bit of clairvoyant ability at their disposal. They just may not know it. For others-a minority to be certain-clairvoyant abilities are obvious and undeniable. These are the people we hear of who are considered natural clairvoyants. Other people, however, may wish to explore their own clairvoyant abilities or gifts and try to develop this sixth sense. If you want to develop your clairvoyant abilities, you must become a clairvoyant free of all self-doubt.

The way to start is with a complete acceptance and an open mind to all things psychic. To those who doubt and question, the door to developing their latent clairvoyant will remain forever locked.

Perhaps disbelief can be attributed to not fully understanding what it means to be clairvoyant. People who are clairvoyant have a natural ability-often called a ’sixth sense’-and are able to see or experience things that are not happening directly to them but are happening to someone else somewhere else. It usually comes as a flash of a vision or a premonition of danger regarding something that will happen in the future. It may also be a flashback to something that occurred to someone else in the past. Or it could be happening simultaneously but nowhere near the clairvoyant so that the clairvoyant has no other means of discerning that this is really happening. For instance, you may have heard stories of people who changed their plans due to a clairvoyant vision and escaped tragedy as a result. So to develop any clairvoyant abilities, you must first open yourself to an all-encompassing awareness of the universe around you and the possibilities. You must remove any skepticism. You must choose to believe. And one way you can prepare your mind to do this is to practice meditation and begin to experience the ‘oneness’ of the universe.

So, in order to become a true clairvoyant free your mind of all skepticism and open your awareness to be all-encompassing. Clairvoyance is drawn from the universe around us, and in order to develop as a clairvoyant you must be able to become as one with this universe. To develop this serene sense of “oneness” you must first learn to practice meditational type exercises.

Everything around us is born of, and is therefore a part of the universe and it is by learning to attune our spirits with it that we can tap into the universal continuum, and see events that have taken place or that are yet to take place, or sometimes something that is happening elsewhere in the world.

A clairvoyant free to connect with this universal pool of existence will at first often just see small particles of information and may not be able to discern any real meaning of what he or she sees. It may be even just be an emotion that is picked up, or an image of something, or something “heard” in the deep recesses of the mind. But this is the beginning. Learning to recognize it for what it is (a communication with the universal continuum) is the first step.

To be a successful clairvoyant belief is everything, for if you have any shadow of doubt, you will not be able to progress to the level of the complete clairvoyant free from worrying what they see, or feel, or hear being only in their imagination.

To better develop as a clairvoyant, free yourself from any distractions or negativity. This could be objects, people, or even places. If it contributes to your disharmony, separate yourself. Cleanse your environment from anything that is not conducive to your receptiveness.

You must also maintain a quiet, still confidence in yourself and your ability. This is the key to removing self-doubt. A clairvoyant free of negativity can receive insights, and as you become more confident, you will increase confidence in the people around you, as well.

Other tools can help people develop their clairvoyant gifts, as well. Tarot cards and scrying are two such methods. These teach techniques of interpretation and concentration important to the development of clairvoyance. To be a true clairvoyant is a gift. Many well-known and famous people speak with clairvoyants to access their insight before making important life decisions. Some clairvoyants even become famous for their remarkable insights. If you have the gift, embrace it and use it to help others.

{Above all, you must have confidence in your own ability. A clairvoyant free from self doubt is a confident clairvoyant who will instill that same confidence in his/her ability in those round them}

{You may find that certain tools of the trade can help your ability, such as tarot cards for example. These tools can help to interpret the meanings of messages and can reinforce concentration.}

{Clairvoyance is a noble art. Many celebrated people consult clairvoyants, and many clairvoyants achieve fame. Using your ability to help guide people through life is a rewarding opportunity. Enjoy!}

I have met many people in my life who are very negative. They moan about seemingly everything and walk around with the weight of the world on their shoulders. I was also like that until the age of twenty-two, at this age I decided to have a new approach to life.

During an afternoon at work one day (we worked for a composite door company), aged as I say twenty-two, a colleague I was working with started to talk to me. What he said was a shock to me, however would have a profound effect on my future. He said to me:

“I am often shocked Steve at some of the things that you are say – you are living in one dark, lonely and depressing way, would you agree?”

“Am I?”

I said in a rather cautious voice – I had not realised that I was negative in comparison to other people. There were reasons for my often depressive state; I had a stuttering speech impediment for a start.

He continued:

“Yes you are. You very rarely smile, you are negative about most issues and you always seem to be carrying the world on your shoulders”.

He was aged 53 and he continued:

“I used to be like you and then I was given some advice, of which I am now going to relay to you. When you feel down, depressed or sorry for yourself, read the newspapers or watch the news on the television. By doing this should soon make you realise that you are not so unlucky after all.”

I had a long think about what he had said. I had never been a big reader or watcher of the news, but decided to give it a go. The advice he gave me was totally correct, the news from around the world and even my own country was quite shocking. I realised that the worries I had were actually quite trivial and that I needed to cherish everyday and start to look on the bright side of life.

I have now commenced a new career in the business cost reduction sector and have taken my new found positive attitude with me.

Conclusion: Start to appreciate what you have and the contentment will soon come.

In this article I write about how we need to chill out, relax and to live a stress-free life. For many years I did not live life this way and found myself constantly worrying about what other people thought of me.

I lived life like this for quite a long time and was basically being a fool as I was often depressed. This was due to the fact that I had a stutter and despite attending stammering treatments on a regular basis I was unable to find a solution. Years later I did manage to stop stammering, after a lot of hard work and with the help of a seventy minute self-help DVD.

In my quest to improve my life I started to read literature about stress management, how to eradicate depression as well as how to gain in confidence. I was now twenty-two years of age and had achieved very little in life up to this point. I happened to come accross the letters page of one particular magazine and started to read a letter which had been written by an elderly lady. It was quite a funny letter and she wrote about how she loved being old. She mentioned that she can now stay in bed all day if she wants to and does not care what people think of her. If she is invited to a social occasion which she does not want to attend, she will say no without feeling any sense of guilt. She wrote that for the first time in her life she does not care at all what people think of her and lives life doing exactly what she wants to do.

I thought about what she had written and realised that I also felt trapped. I did not want to wait until I was in my seventies to be set free, I wanted freedom now. I had to change my attitude to life and I decided to stop trying so hard.

I believe that I am a good human being; I try to do right by the people that I meet; I am honest and caring and try to live life in the right way. I actually for the first time in my life, quite like myself, therefore if other people choose not to, that is fine by me.

My new found positive attitude has helped me in many different ways including in my business life where I sell front doors. My life is back on track thanks to that lovely old lady.

Of course, there are some that have totally dismissed the concept of mind power and see believers as gullible or easily led. But, scientific studies also show that what and how we think creates our reality.

Scientist have also documented that what we think of as reality is no more than a manifestation of your subconscious mind. So it goes to reason that those who tap into their own minds can take control to shape their own realities.

To find the success you want, you need to reshape how you think: retraining negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions with positivity and faith in yourself. Even your nightly dreams and imagination need to reflect more positivity to help you get what you desire.

The thought process behind this mind power because it has the potential to reshape the cause and effect relationships between what you desire and how you can achieve it in reality. Believing in the power of suggestion allows you to use it to make your subconscious mind work for you. If not, you may end up drifting without making changes in your life.

For your mind to work with maximum power, you will need to focus on improving your subconscious mind. Positive affirmations are among the best way to bring about a change in your thinking.

Affirmations are simply sentences that can be chanted multiple times throughout the day, banishing away negative thoughts and sorrows. They work to increase your confidence and help you learn to trust the power of your brain. Affirmations can be about any issue you are facing from encouragement that you can lose weight, to breaking an addiction or chanting that you will find true love.

But, you cannot just invest all your time in visualizing your dreams; you need to make steps to ensure they come true.

Once you close your eyes and look inwards towards the results that you desire. You need to imagine yourself losing weight or amassing the money needed to purchase a new home. Yes, you can allow your imagination to go a little wild. You can feel those sensations and accomplish your goals as if they were really happening.

Bring these visualizations into your life, by getting creative. Write down what it feels like to accomplish this goal, make a scrapbook to encourage you. Fill it with pictures of the new car you want to buy or the dream wedding you want to afford.

Through changing the manner in which you see reality, you will shape your subconscious mind which means you may be able to unlock supernatural talents. Psychics that are able to see into the future or past, those with telekinesis, and those with supernatural abilities are not born with a talent others do not have. Instead, they have just learned how to use their full potential and unlock all talents hidden away in the subconscious mind.

With the positivity of mind power, you become the director in your own life instead of a passive player. Your subconscious mind can even be the secret to living a healthy life free from disease since many of our physical ailments actually start in the brain.

More than likely your have heard the term clairvoyance from psychic ads and infomercials. However, do you know that anyone can develop clairvoyance? Everyone has some form of clairvoyance, however not everyone is willing to develop it, since it is much like learning a new skill. It is much like riding a bicycle, with some practice you gain skill and experience.

If you are new to the term clairvoyance, and have never heard of it before, then here is a basic definition for you: Clairvoyance is basically the quick intuitive knowledge of knowing things that are not visible to the eye or have not yet happened. It can be thought of as somewhat of a psychic ability.

Would you like learn how to develop clairvoyance? In order to develop clairvoyance, you are going to have to first understand that this type of ability will make you a happier and much more peaceful person. When you possess clairvoyant abilities, you are much more creative and think a lot clearer than before. The benefits of being clairvoyant are nothing but positive, the only thing to look out for is absorbing bad energies.

Sense becoming clairvoyant means that you are going to be more sensitive to the energies around you, you will need to make sure that you avoid negative people, places, and things. There will be times that you run into these types of situations, they are pretty much unavoidable. But when you do, just make sure that you do something positive to get rid of those energies. If more people took the time to develop their clairvoyant abilities, they would have a much easier time learning how to rid themselves of negative moods and the energies that plague them.

Here are some simple ways that you can begin to develop clairvoyance right now:

Rid yourself of negative possessions. If you have possessions in your home that bring you bad vibes or feelings, then get rid of them. Get everything out of your life that gives off bad or evil vibes to you. It could be the clothes of a dead relative or the hat of an old boyfriend. Whatever it is, as long as it makes you feel negative, you do not need it in your life. Have a bonfire for everything that you do not want in your life and home and allow that to cleanse you of your negativity.

Meditate quietly for at least 30 minutes daily. Make this your special quiet time. You can be anywhere to create it, inside your home, in the park, sitting in your vehicle, or in the back yard. It matters not where you do it as long as you do it, for instance, walking helps to clear the mind. Life can be hard sometimes, negative thoughts buildup when what you really need is time to relax, breathe and ponder.

Meditation is great for releasing stress as well. You will find it difficult to develop clairvoyance if your mind is cluttered with unnecessary thoughts. You need this time, and all that matters is that you are alone and completely at peace when you are doing it. Combine this time with some deep breathing techniques and you will be completely relaxed afterwards.

Pay attention to your feelings. Sure, you need to listen to your mind; however, your feelings are your guides while learning to develop the ability of clairvoyance. When something feels right, it generally is right. For instance, you may meet someone the first time and instantly know that you will be best of friends, you should trust your instinct and follow it, more than likely you are right to feel as you do.

Do not doubt yourself; rather you should trust your hunches. Suffering from low self-esteem is not helpful. You must become confident of your thoughts and feelings when you desire to develop your clairvoyant abilities. Doubting your instincts only damages your capabilities. Even when you are nervous about it trust yourself anyway.

Do not restrict your feelings and instincts. Very often children are considered to be much more clairvoyant than adults because they have a positive and carefree attitude about life in general. If they feel that something is not quite right they do not deny that feeling but instead express it. We need to be the same way and not so rigid in our thoughts and actions. If you learn to trust your gut feelings you will be pleasantly surprised.

Remember you already have psychic and clairvoyant powers. Scientists consider that everyone has extra sensory powers, but over the decades for whatever reasons, these powers became repressed. However, with the right mindset and training, you can reactivate these dormant psychic powers.

You can use many things to assist you in developing your clairvoyance, such as hypnosis sessions and positive affirmations, just to name a few. You can listen to clairvoyance development audios for self-hypnosis or you can visit a trained therapist. These aid you in communicating with your subconscious mind. When your subconscious mind realizes that it is acceptable for your dormant clairvoyant power to surface you will begin to notice such a difference in the way you feel and sense things around you.

You must also cleanse and balance your chakra energy centers on a regular basis. The chakra energy centers responsible for your psychic and intuitive powers stem from the crown and third eye chakras. You must maintain balance of your energy centers when you desire to develop your clairvoyance.

Anyone who desires to develop his or her clairvoyance powers can do so. If you make the effort, you can develop your clairvoyant powers more easily by taking a break from the inhibiting world of responsibilities. What you need to do is to overcome negativity, cleanse your energies and simply relax.

Ever since the release of the movie ‘The Secret’, thousands of people around the world have wanted learn all they can about the secret law of attraction. Numerous books also followed the release of the movie.

Even before this, there had been a lot of information on the subject, but people really did not understand the concept and people still do not understand how the process works. Here you will find some information to help so that you too can understand the power of the law of attraction.

A lot of successful people have used the secret law of attraction either consciously, or unconsciously. With this power, a person has the ability to access all that they desire and become the person in which they want to be. All of this is done through the power of the mind and the way it works in determining our destinies.

The secret law of attraction is what will guide you in attracting all of the things that you need. The way that you live and the amount of money you have reflects the way that you think. To not have money is the inability to access all the things in life that you want to do. For complete happiness a person should contain the ability to give to the ones that they love. People must have access to the material things in life in order to develop fully in mind, body, and soul.

You need to understand that thoughts lay at the base of the foundation in a persons life. You need to change the way you think in order to allow the mind to create your life differently. Thoughts are energy and matter at its smallest level is also energy. So thoughts become matter and it is this concept which is the basis of the law of attraction.

To get what you want, you need to have a full understanding of exactly what it is that you do want. This idea must be clear and specific. Writing it down will help you to have more of an understanding of the things that you wish to have and it must be within the present tense of how you write it. This way, for your mind you have already achieved the goal and it is something you should read daily in order to focus your mind.

The thing you want should be something that your really want. It should have the potential for making your life better. You also must contain a certainty that it is a thing that you want. While thinking of this thing, you should have your mind clear from any other thoughts. This will allow you then to focus on the true desire that you have. The best way to improve concentration and focus is through meditation.

While concentrating on the things that you want, you should be in a place that is quiet to allow yourself to go into a state of relaxation. This way you can get in touch with the subconscious mind in order to access the universe. After you ask, you need to believe that it will come to you and that trust will make it more likely to work.

Visualize the thing that you want and imagine yourself in the position where you actually have it now. This will convey a clear picture to the universe of everything that you want. After asking, you must express gratitude to the universe for the thing that you will have. Be grateful for all that you have and see the good in everything.

After you make the request, do not hold onto it. Just have faith and trust that the universe has heard your request and will deliver. Faith and trust is the real secret law of attraction.

When you are the director of your dream and you know that you are dreaming then such dreams are known as lucid dreams. In lucid dreams the dreamer is aware of each and every thing he does and he does things that he wants to do. He decides who the people in his dream are, what places in his dream are and what the ending of his dream is.

When you are engaged in lucid dreaming, your dreams can be a fantasy, adventure or mystery. Anything you want. There are no limits to what you can experience!

Normal dreams are not ones that let you control them, and sometimes take a turn for the worse, bringing out some of the worst fears buried in your minds, whereby when lucid dreaming, the dreams often seem so real and lifelike that you have a hard time distinguishing them from normal, everyday life.

In a lucid dream, there are certain details that might clue you into the fact it is a dream, such as colors, or items that don’t belong, for example. Much like sleep walking where the person appears to be awake, a lucid dream involves much the same type of feeling without being fully conscious of it.

You may be fantasizing about something that you really want badly, such as a promotion, or a new home. This may be impossible in real life, but in your lucid dreams where you control the outcome, you may see yourself already doing the new job and details of it, or vividly see you moving into the house you want to purchase, for example.

You can change the dream so that what you want to happen is how it ends in lucid dreaming. By using your sub-conscious part of the brain that controls creativity and imagination to control your dream and picture how it would be if your dreams came true, a lucid dream can be a way to see that possibility.

Is it physically possible to experience lucid dreams? Yes! There is a biological need for the body to sleep, to rest and prepare for another days activities, it is a relatively simple step for part of your mind to remain conscious while your body is resting.

Learning how to have lucid dreams can take a lot of practice and some people may not be able to master it until they have gone through a long, slow process.

One way to invoke the lucid dreams is to try and remember your dream when you are awake. You need to make a supreme effort to remember all the minute details and happenings and images in the dream. Record it in your bedside journal and keep it handy for such entries. You don’t need to fret if you can’t remember every teeny detail. With this technique, it’s a matter of time when you will have the same dream again and then you can further add details to your observations. Soon, you will have a dream guide reference of your own with this practice.

If you are a writer this information is invaluable. You may have your next novel lined up. In a lucid dream you create the scenes and actions. The dream ends the way you want it to. Lucid dreaming is a time to pacify our inner ambitions and desires and plan their execution in reality.

Try to recall everything you can about your dream, go back to sleep and, if you can, return to where you were before you woke up and you will continue to dream. The dream will occur more than once, so you will have the opportunity to recall more each time it does occur. Recalling more each time you try.

If you wake before your normal time, let’s say you have a couple of hours to go; this is the easiest time for lucid dreaming. It may seem like you have been awake and thinking all the time, but you have actually been lucid dreaming.

Some people have learned self hypnosis to help them remember dreams or things hidden in their sub-conscious minds, but it is really easy to recall your lucid dreams, if you concentrate on it.

Another shortcut worth mentioning is a recent development in sound technology called binaural beats. These special frequencies work by synchronizing the two hemispheres of the brain and almost instantly put your brainwaves into the state required for lucid dreaming to be possible.

Approximately eight months ago I had breakfast with a thirty-one-year-old male named Alexander who experiences acute depression, has relationship problems, and who is drug and alcohol dependent. As articulated by Alexander, it is his alcohol and drug addiction and his intense depression that had the most to do with his continual relationship issues.

I recall reading that a history of mental health issues, drug abuse, and abusive drinking routinely occur in the same family. Additionally, I remember hearing that under such circumstances, an individual needs to get treatment for both medical conditions and that chemical dependency and mental health issues many times occur in the same person.

As explained by Alexander, he is so defeated by his relationship problems and by both of his medical conditions that he in actual fact has little or no drive to achieve much of anything. What is especially unfortunate about this is that earlier in his life, Alexander finished three semesters of grad school in entrepreneurship.

Alexander’s condition makes me question if he is an illustration of an individual who can address his drug abuse and alcohol drinking problems and do something healthy about these difficulties or if he is someone who has to hit the bottom of the barrel before he gets alcohol and drug dependency rehabilitation that leads to long-term sobriety.

The Need For a Rehabilitation Program He Can Believe In and a Physician He Can Trust

If it would be beneficial I would suppose that I could suggest more than a few websites and blogs that could possibly help him learn more about drug abuse symptoms, the stages of alcoholism, substance abuse information, and relationship difficulties. In my honest opinion, nonetheless, Alexander needs to find a treatment protocol he can believe in and follow over the long term and find a psychologist he can trust.

I could be in error but it seems to make sense that Alexander probably needs to look within himself regarding his drug addiction signs and alcoholic symptoms and comprehend the fact that he cannot use drugs or even drink in moderation if he wants to get sober, remain sober, and start on the road to lasting sobriety.

It may be asked how therapy would help his alcohol and drug dependency. For starters, there are quite a few newly produced physician-prescribed medications that can help Alexander through his withdrawal symptoms, through the drug and alcohol detox process, and help him avoid a drug or an alcohol relapse.

Second, Alexander would learn to understand the fact that there is absolutely nothing constructive about substance abuse and excessive and hazardous drinking and that messing around with one or both conditions is the map to poor work and school performance, deteriorating health, legal problems, financial difficulties, a premature death, and shattered relationships.

Third, counseling for his depression and for his relationship issues might help him cope with these mental health difficulties more successfully and help create less of a need for him to engage in addictive behavior.

The Importance of Support Groups Like Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous

There are reasonably several friends, family members, and other people who would want to help Alexander with his drug addiction and his careless drinking. He probably would experience greater acceptance from a support group such as Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous, then again, rather than getting guidance from people who drink in moderation or who have never abused drugs.

When Individuals Do Things They Like and About Which They Are Dedicated

There’s a psychological attitude that affirms that individuals who do things they like and something about which they are passionate arrive at glorious place in life. Stated more specifically, when people do what they enjoy, they hardly ever experience boredom or an uneventful life. If they get involved in something that is gratifying, furthermore, they become more whole and experience more happiness and delight in life and in their relationships.

When this is thought about even for a few minutes it becomes obvious that this uplifting mentality is the exact opposite of a life that is rooted in chemical dependency because such a lifestyle removes the contentment and joy that life has to offer.

Due to the fact that Alexander lacks the determination to succeed at doing much of anything in his life, it is clear that he urgently needs some hope for a better lifestyle. And the sad thing is that hope is almost everywhere around Alexander if he could only get to the place in life to get the counseling he requires for his extreme depression and drug addiction and alcohol dependency and remain in his treatment routine.

Better Relationships, Affirmative Change, Self Respect, and a Wonderful Life Are Possibilities

Alexander is clearly too young to be crushed in life. He doesn’t comprehend this right now but if he can learn how to stay away from drugs and alcohol through drug and alcohol rehabilitation and get the treatment he requires for his severe depression, he can redirect his life and start living with self-respect, passion, and direction.

Stronger relationships, a meaningful life, self esteem, and beneficial change are certainly a reality for Alexander if only he could become motivated to get the medical rehabilitation he requires, follow through with his therapy protocol, live his life in a sober and healthy manner, and learn how to cultivate a more positive attitude about his life.

So you are looking into ways and techniques to enable you to gain confidence and increase self-esteem. Well guess what? You have come to the right place as in this article I will be providing free tips and advice about this very subject, I hope you enjoy the read.

I spent the first twenty-two years of my life having to cope with a stuttering problem. To say that this had a negative affect on my life would be a massive under-statement. I was a person that often settled for second best and who often found himself in a rather depressed mood. I was less than impressed with the hand of cards that I had been dealt and was full of self pity. I believed, in my negative way, that I would struggle at the dating game, I would struggle to forge a successful career and that I would therefore have a rather unhappy future. What was the point? Where was the hope? Why should I get out of bed in the morning? These were questions that I asked myself on a regular basis. I became in a form of rut and could see no way out.

It was not until my early twenties that I was to emerge out of this negativity. No longer was I going to accept second best, no longer was I going to be a depressive, no longer was I going to fear social situations and no longer was I going to be a loner.

So what was the catalyst to my new found strength? Well alcohol of all things is the answer to this question. Since the age of seventeen, or possibly even sixteen, I had been consuming vasts amounts of alcoholic drink. When intoxicated I could speak as fluently as the next man, I was happy, I was fearless, I was confident and I was care-free. Now do not worry the solution to your confidence and self-esteem issues is not to become drunk every night but what had this experience with alcohol taught me? Well quite simply it showed me that I was able to speak fluently and that I could be happy.

I just had to live life when sober as I did when I was drink. For example I had to learn to be far more positive, far more care-free and far more stress-free. I am worthy, I am a nice person and I am clever.

I have also now realised that I have actually been dealt a very good hand of cards, I am one of life’s lucky ones. The fuure sure looks bright now!

I hope that my new found confidence will enable me to be able to help more people to learn how to play the guitar, this is something that is very important to me as it is a great instrument to play. I have now even started to offer online guitar lessons for beginners.

Samuel was a forty-six-year-old accounts receivable manager who was sick of feeling depressed on a daily basis and sick of his careless drinking behavior. Simply put, he was tired of going through failed relationship after failed relationship due to his careless drinking, he was mad at himself for spending his hard-earned money on a worthless habit, he missed his old drive for doing various things he enjoyed, he was sick of feeling lethargic every morning, and he hated the hangovers he went through on a regular basis.

In addition he hated the fact that he had to go to court for his second DWI, he was bored with his drinking pals, he was irritated with the many times he failed an alcohol test at his workplace, he was fed up with paying for alcohol-related attorney fees, and he was appalled with how physically unfit he was.

In addition to the perceptible alcohol-related health problems he was experiencing, possibly the most troublesome part of his drinking behavior was the untrustworthy and dishonest person he had turned into. In his heart he realized that he had been less than truthful about his drinking behavior to his family, friends and relatives and he also knew he had been lying to himself about the “healthy” outcomes of drinking. Not only this but he justified wolfing down two or three drinks before going to social events and he also justified needing two or three drinks the first thing in the morning so that he could deal with the “pressures” at work.

His Depression and His Hazardous and Heavy Drinking Result in Important Changes in His Life

Without a doubt Samuel was sick of putting up with the negative effects of his depression and his careless and excessive drinking and finally decided that something significant had to change in his life. So he made up his mind that he would stop drinking, develop a new circle of friends, involve himself in some worthwhile hobbies, get professional counseling, start exercising, and start focusing on becoming a more healthy person.

In brief, Samuel got to a key moment in his life during which he saw that he hit a low point in life and was now prepared to start the gradual and slow climb back to health.

One of the ways that Samuel implemented his “plan” was by asking for a transfer at his place of employment. When his request was granted, he moved 300 miles away to a new part of the U.S.. If nothing else, this beyond doubt made making new friends and buddies and disconnecting himself from his old friends and pals simpler. Then he phoned a healthcare practitioner in his new city and made an appointment for a complete mental and physical examination.

Samuel Meets With a Doctor About His Hazardous Drinking and His Depression

After meeting with the healthcare professional and going through a number of laboratory tests, it was determined that Samuel had made the transition from alcohol abuse to alcohol addiction and consequently was in need of alcohol detoxification and alcohol rehab. At this time, the doctor made it a point to discuss the various signs of alcoholism, the symptoms of alcoholism, and information about long term alcohol effects with Samuel.

The healthcare practitioner then told Samuel that it was concluded that he was clinically depressed and in need of therapy for this medical problem.

Samuel Decides to Build Up His Body by Taking Vitamins, Eating Nutritious Foods, Exercising, Living an Alcohol-Free Way of Life, and Drinking Distilled Water

Due to his willingness to follow through with the rehabilitation therapy, after seven weeks of residential rehab, Samuel was ready to begin rehabilitation on an outpatient basis. At this time, he started working at his new job and over the weeks began revitalizing his body by drinking filtered water, taking vitamins, eating healthy foods, living an alcohol-free lifestyle, and working out.

Samuel also addressed his spiritual life by joining the local Nazarene church and attending the weekly services.

After around seven months of outpatient rehab during which time he never suffered through an alcohol relapse, Samuel quit going to alcohol treatment and instead began going twice every week to local Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Going to these meetings helped Samuel continue his alcohol-free style of life, they provided him with the support he required, and they served as a continual reminder of the damaging consequences that are associated with excessive and hazardous drinking.

After going to AA meetings just about three months Samuel felt that he was ready for a relationship and so he started going out with Lois, a young lady he met at church. It clearly amazed Samuel how much more prepared he was for a dating relationship now that he had his excessive and hazardous drinking under control. Indeed it also amazed Samuel how much better life was now that he wasn’t under the control of his hazardous and careless drinking. Life was now rewarding and loaded with promise that he could have never wished for or fulfilled when he was involved in hazardous and careless drinking less than a year ago.

A Success Story That is a Tribute to the Value of Alcohol Rehabilitation and the Power of Positive Thinking

Samuel’s success story is a testament to the relevance of alcohol therapy and the power of positive thinking. As Samuel thought about his newfound positive self image and motivation for involving himself in healthy, worthwhile activities, he was actually grateful that he made up his mind to do something worth while about his excessive and hazardous drinking instead of giving into his depression and into the lure of his alcohol dependency. The result: he is in charge of his life rather than letting himself languish under the control of his alcohol dependency, he has more energy now compared with any time in his adult life, his life now has a positive direction, he is involved in a wholesome relationship, and he likes his new job responsibilities.

Your dreams are the nourishment of your soul, just like food is for your body. Many times in our existence, we see our dreams being squashed and our wishes frustrated. Nevertheless, it’s important to carry on dreaming or have new dreams, or our soul dies and coldness creeps into it.

History has told us about all those great battles, where each side was thinking they are fighting on the "right" side, the "right"  cause – here I’m referring to those religious battles mainly. The most cruel wars took place in the name of God or religion or for land, rivers of blood have flown. Back then – in times of those famous Popes, Kings, Emperors, Pashas, things were relatively easy for men to fight the "right" battle. Today, there is no more land to conquere, the battlefield is our own interior.

The battle of the "right" cause is for our own dreams, as they explode in our youth, when we have so much courage but we are not very experienced in battle. After much force, we have learnt to battle and the fine art of war, but our courage is now waning. We are no longer blindly running ahead of the pack with our sword drawn blank.
This is the time, when we direct our sword against ourselves and we turn into our own worst enemy. We keep telling ourselves, that our dreams were infantile, difficult to come true, or – that they are fruits of our phantasy and have nothing in common with the realities of life. We kill our own dreams because we are afraid to enter into battle for the "just" cause.

The first symptom of the death of our dreams is the lack of time. The really important people with a full day’s schedule – are exactly the ones who always have time for everything important. Those that are actually doing nothing are always tired, they don’t even accomplish the little work they have  and are constantly complaining that the day is too short. The truth is, they are afraid to enter into a battle for the "just" cause.

The second symptom that our dreams are dying are our certainties. While we no longer see life as constant adventure enjoying that we are alive. We present ourselves as wise, just, correct at the little we ask from life and our existence.

We look outside over the walls of our little existence, we hear the noise of battle, of swords breaking, we smell the sweat and the blood and the smoke of guns, we sit there looking at the conquest of the soldiers. But we don’t realize the relish and joy they feel in that battle which they fight with all their heart. Never mind if they win or lose – all that matters for them is – they are fighting for a "just" cause.

Finally, the third symptom of our dreams dying is the peace. Life passes like an endless chain of Sunday afternoons. It does not ask us for anything important and we must not bend over to give more than we want to give. This is when we say we have "matured". We abandon our phantasy of youth and carry on with our personal and professional life. We are surprised when someone of our age tells us that he’s still expecting of life this, that or the other. In truth, somewhere hidden in our heart, our inner voice tells us that we also should go out there fighting our "just" battle for our dreams.

When we have finally renounced our dreams and found peace, we enjoy it for some time- we have a little tranquil period – but the dead dreams inside us start decomposing and are poisioning our interior.

The poison infects all our surroundings.  We start being cruel to those around us and finally we direct our cruelty against ourselves. We have illness coming towards us and psychosis. What we wanted to avoid in the our "just" battle – the deception and the loss, is now the very price of our cowardice. There comes the day when air becomes difficult to breath and we actually wish for death to come. The death that will liberate us from our certaincies, of our worries and this terrible peace of the endless chain of  Sunday afternoons.

An Amusing Story About Fear.

I remember my first ‘public speaking’ gig about twenty years ago.
Unfortunately.

It was a massive affair(!) …I was doing a lecture to twelve students who were completing their fitness instructor accreditation.
I had to talk for one hour.
I spent two weeks preparing.
Every day for those two weeks I wrote notes, re-wrote notes, planned, visualised, rehearsed (in my head) and generally stressed. For the amount of time, effort and preparation I put in, I probably earned about seventy five cents per hour for the whole experience.

Oh yes… I had surely arrived as a public speaker.
An orator of some note.
Not.
It’s fair to suggest that Tony Robbins was in no immediate danger.

The big day came and I arrived at the venue (a health club) forty five minutes early (can’t be too careful when it comes to traffic delays).
I sat in my car and hyper-ventilated.
I studied my volumes of notes. Again.
I was so nervous I could actually feel the pulse in the side of my neck.
I went inside and walked straight to the change rooms.
I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself.
I looked a little pastey.
Grey, perhaps.
My light blue shirt was now a nice blend of light.. and dark blue.

Yes, that’s right; the world’s most nervous man had sweated himself into a frenzy.
I looked like I’d just run a half-marathon… in business pants, slip-on shoes and a shirt.

Attractive.

So, there I was… standing in front of the mirror, back-stroking in my own body fluids, looking at the sweat patches extending from my armpits to my hips, trying to figure out how on earth I was gonna dry my shirt, stop sweating, get my heart rate under one fifty and not freeze in front of my massive audience.

Very cool.
Let’s just say that my confidence wasn’t at an all-time high at this point.

So I took my shirt off (I had no option) and decided to commandeer the only hand dryer (shirt dryer) in a pathetic attempt to address the sweat factor… four minutes later I’m standing half naked in a public washroom with a semi-dry shirt, looking like some kinda weirdo, vagrant… when the guy who was employing me to speak, walked in.

"Man, I’ve been looking for you."

Perfect.

So instantly my anxiety had two friends; humiliation and embarrassment.

After stumbling my way through some lame-ass explanation of my semi-nude state, my ‘employer’ hesitantly marched me up the corridor to meet my class.

He gave me some under-whelming introduction (understandably) and left the room.
My stomach churned, my mouth went dry and my heart rate hit four hundred and twenty five.
I turned to my vast audience and smiled.
Not one person smiled back.
Not one!
My heart rate hit six hundred and fifteen.
I felt my armpits spring into action.

For the next hour I bumbled, stumbled and sweated my way through, what will go down as, one of history’s worst displays of public speaking.
You probably think I’m gonna say I was crap; I actually wasn’t.

I wish I was crap.

Crap would have been an improvement.
In fact, following my first effort… crap was my goal.

Before the lecture one of my friends suggested that I should make the session interactive to take some pressure and attention off me being the only one speaking…. good idea.

In theory.

So after a fifteen minute sweaty monologue, I’ve opted for the old:

"Okay guys, any questions…. thoughts…..?
"Anything!"
"Please".
"Someone".

Absolute donuts.
They gave me…. nuthin!.

A sea of blank faces (well twelve of them anyway).

After my less-than impressive(!) debut I was packing up and everyone except one girl had left.
She walked toward me and for one delusional moment, I thought she might put my mind at ease and tell me I wasn’t so bad.

"You haven’t done that before have you?"
"No.. does it show?"
"Yep."
"Err, okay… anything else?"
"You talk too fast."

My overall emotion was starting to move from a general sickness, to more of a full-body numbness.

"Alrighty… thanks for the feedback. See you next week."
"Oh, do we have you next week too?"
"Yes, you have me for the next five weeks."

"Oh."

And with those words of encouragement, she took her books and my remaining self-esteem and left.

Since that day I have done thousands of talks, worked on several continents, delivered numerous corporate presentations, University lectures, workshops, hosted hundreds of radio shows and made many TV appearances.

Amazingly.

So…. I finished my teaching commitment with my twelve students and over the course of the six weeks my speaking performance moved from… atrocious…. to crap…. to mediocre.
I was so happy to be mediocre.

I changed from the light blue (how-much-can-one-man-sweat?) shirt to the black (doesn’t-show-the-sweat) T-Shirt, learned to control my nerves a little, got my heart rate under three hundred and slowly began to develop my public speaking skills.
To say it was an uncomfortable and confronting process would be a massive understatement.

It was nerve-wracking.
And fantastic.
I hated it.
And loved it.
I learned about people.
And about me.

Tomorrow (Thursday) morning I have one of my regular TV gigs on Network Ten here in Australia. I will talk to 400,000 people live and will have way less nerves and way more fun than when I taught those twelve fitness students twenty years ago. This weekend I will do nine hours of live talkback radio on two different stations… and have a ball.

I don’t tell you any of this to impress you, but rather, to impress upon you that we can all do and create amazing (whatever our amazing is) when we take chances, get uncomfortable, put our ass on the line, persevere and stop running away from fear.

I’m also not suggesting that anyone needs to become a public speaker, motivator or coach (or anything that Craig Harper does)…. this story is about dealing with and overcoming the fear that destroys lives and breaks spirits.

As I’ve said before, a certain level of fear is healthy (smart even) but a life limited, or even controlled by fear is tragic… and too many (lives) are.

So go and find your twelve people to stand in front of… and start speaking.

You never know what might happen.

Abundance is a concept often debated in spiritual and entrepreneurial circles. Here’s what my friend Alex Mandossian says to trigger your thoughts on how you define abundance…

Entrepreneurs commonly use the catch-phrase “thinking BIG,” but they really mean the same thing.

The unique part about abundance which makes it difficult to generally understand is that it must be experienced … it can’t just be explained.

Yet the most encouraging part of adopting an abundance mindset is how it can connect you to people with totally different set of beliefs and values.

It instantly sustains inclusivity even with people who are dramatically different.

POP QUIZ: What do Mother Theresa and Donald Trump have most in common?

The answer… a mind-set of abundance.

Donald Trump says, “If you’re going to think anyway, you might as well think big.”

Mother Theresa said: “The more we discover the magnitude and abundance of God’s gifts, the more we
will find ourselves.”

Again, the abundance mindset creates connections.

Bucky Fuller had this to say about the abundance mindset:

“The condition of planet earth is abundance . How our financial, legal, political and military systems are set up (or exist at all) is determined by our belief in either scarcity or abundance.

Scarcity and Abundance are contextual and foundational ideas. They each give rise to a distinct system of thought and a number of rules, characteristics and measures which only make sense within their own system.”

Above all, the abundance -mindset is a choice. In other words, you choose to look through the lens of scarcity, or through the lens of abundance . There is no in-between.

“Do … or do not. There is no try.” ~ Yoda

Because there are are so many differing opinions about abundance , my colleagues and I have decided to conduct this worldwide survey get more opinions – your opinion – on this highly debated topic.

My JV partners, Alex Mandossian and Scott Martineau are hosting the Virtual Abundance Expo next week, so I figured this a great opportunity to host a survey and attract the best single sentence that clearly defines abundance .

What to do now: Please use the comment box to write your definition of abundance . The survey ends at 5pm PDT on Monday, July 27th, right before Jack Canfield’s keynote speech for the Virtual Abundance Expo.

All the definitions will be gathered and tallied the next day and five finalists will be chosen for the final vote.

Note, our Virtual Abundance Expo faculty will personally evaluate your definition of abundance if you are one of the five finalists.

The top vote-getter with the clearest and most concise definition of abundance will be personally interviewed by Scott and Alex as a honorary faculty member for Virtual Abundance Expo .

So what do you say … are you game?

If you are game, then take a peek at these 9 abundance quotes to get your heart and mind moving…

“The only factor becoming scarce in a world of abundance is human attention”~ Kevin Kelly in Wired

“Nothing amuses me more than the easy manner with which everybody settles the abundance of those who have a great deal less than themselves.” ~ Jane Austen (1775 – 1817)

“Abundance is, in large part, an attitude” ~ Sue Patton Thoele

“Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise”~ Heraclitus (540 BC – 480 BC)

“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little” ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 – 1945)

“Unfortunately, the balance of nature decrees that a super-abundance of dreams is paid for by a growing potential for nightmares” ~ Peter Ustinov (1921 – 2004)

“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into” ~ Wayne Dyer

“Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level” ~ Eileen Caddy

“Not what we have, but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance ” ~ Epicurus

Now it’s your turn … type in what you feel abundance means to you. Go ahead … the simple act of thinking about it will instantly improve your day.

Incredible as it may be, there is about 90% of our brains which go unused. Just imagine the possibilities which would be opened up by being able to use this vast untapped potential source of mindpower. The possibilities are hard to imagine, but all of us have a lot of psychic potential which is going unused and the results of using this could be amazing.

Scientists agree that people who exhibit psychic and extra sensory abilities must be able to use these abilities due to somehow using that 90% of the human mind which usually lies idle. Some people appear to have these abilities from birth but others develop their mindpower and start using these latent talents later on in life.

Although the process is far from fully understood, the latest advances in quantum physics are beginning to reveal the true nature of the link between what we think and what we experience in ‘real’ life.

Studies show that our minds may be able to change the world more than the world can change our minds!

Popular books about the law of attraction like ‘The Secret’ show how humans have the ability to use their own mind power to change their lives and even the world they live in.

The law of attraction is essentially all about how cause and effect works in the realm of our thoughts. Like any other action we take, our thoughts can cause things to happen. When we develop our mindpower and learn how to focus these thoughts, we can use this cause to effect change in the world.

So the subconscious mind is not only responsible for all of the esp powers such as telepathy, remote viewing, and precognition, it also reacts with the ‘universe’ or what some call the ‘universal consciousness’, to manifest your desires.

Now the key to the development of your mindpower is to communicate with your subconscious mind. But how exactly do you do this? There are a number of ways.

Affirmations:- Affirmations are a powerful means of boosting mindpower by repeating desired outcomes until they reach your subconscious mind; your subconscious then taps into your reserves of mindpower to change your behavior, then making your goals a reality.

For example, you could increase your self esteem with affirmation such as ‘I am a confident, successful person’. You can also use affirmations to break bad habits, using sayings like ‘I do not smoke and have no desire to have a cigarette’.

When repeated, affirmations reach the subconscious and start producing the desired result.

So just take this a stage further and realize that anything you want to change will change; not just your behavioral habits but absolutely everything in your reality. This is mindpower!

Visualization:- You can also develop your mindpower using visualization. Visualization consists of closing your eyes and picturing the things you want to happen in your mind’s eye. Your subconscious mind responds to the images which you focus your thoughts on and begins using your mindpower to make them a reality. You can visualize anything you want and with practice, you’ll increase your mindpower and make it possible.

Visualization is a powerful technique for building up mindpower and bringing latent psychic abilities to the surface. When you visualize being able to use your psychic abilities, they will be strengthened and your mindpower will be developed so that you’ll have access to your natural abilities.

Hypnosis:- Hypnosis is another well known way of communicating with your subconscious mind and helping to develop mindpower. If you visit a professional hypnotist or hypnotherapist they will start by making sure you are totally relaxed and then offer suggestions to your subconscious mind which it will remember when you wake up.

Self hypnosis can also be used to develop mindpower. You can use self hypnosis by listening to a hypnotherapy session which has been recorded; this can be listened to any time you want to use self hypnosis and of course, it is also a lot less expensive than visiting a hypnotist.

Brainwave entrainment:- This is a new audio technology which is brainwave synchronization. This changes instantly your brainwaves to a certain frequency. This can result in many things. At a certain frequency you can improve your memory. At another frequency natural endorphins are released into your body which heal and alleviate pain.

Other frequencies can assist you to get into a state of meditation very quickly to allow communication with your subconscious mind and therefore the development of your mindpower to take place.

Other frequencies can stimulate the parts of your body known as the chakra energy centers. There is a chakra in the center of your forehead called the third eye chakra which is responsible for psychic powers.

Each and every one of us has psychic abilities naturally. These abilities normally stay in the subconscious mind and are not used. However, with the right techniques, your mindpower can be developed to the point where these latent abilities come to the surface and can be used.

When we talk about developing mindpower, what we really mean is unlocking the potential psychic abilities which are present in every person and starting to access the potential of that 90% of the brain which we don’t use every day.

In general, the majority of the population has heard of astral projection. They may have heard of it from a reading a book, watching a movie or from an enlightened friend. However, it seems very few know that astral projection is a genuine occurrence. It is something that we can all naturally do. You may have even projected and never realize that you did so. Many people do.

You need to understand what astral projection really is. Astral projection is the ability of an individual to leave his or her body. Everyone has the ability to do this; everyone does this when he or she lay down to sleep at night. While sleeping the physical mind is resting and the subconscious mind takes control. A person astral projects while this is happening. However, the majority may never remember astral projecting.

When a person projects, they go wherever they want to go. If you were to think back to your childhood, you will probably recall being able to do this when you would go to bed, as you aged you forgot. It is possible to go anywhere, there is no such thing as time or distance when it comes to astral projection. When a person is sleeping it is the physical body that is asleep, the astral body is the one that travels.

You may wonder what the astral body is. It is the ethereal body; it is the duplicate of the body in an invisible form. All of our desires and feeling originate from there. Can the astral body leave and not come back? A silver cord unites the astral and physical bodies.

The silver cord first connects as the astral body enters the physical body. This is not exhausted until after death when the astral body leaves the physical body for the last time. This silver cord prevents the astral body from not returning.

Something else you may consider is where do you go when you astral project? Your astral body goes to the astral plane. It is the invisible double body of the Earth. Its vibration is much faster than that of the physical Earth while it does penetrate into the core of the Earth. Many define it as another dimension of reality. In addition, most agree that there are various levels of the astral plane.

Naturally, you may question as to the dangers of astral projection. Yes and no is the answer. Astral projection is something we are all capable of doing. We also know that the astral body can exit the physical body and will return. However, as with all things you should be sensible. What this means is that you do need good solid thinking skills and know what you want in order to go where you want to go.

Astral projection can be dangerous if you practice it with an unsound mind. Anyone under the influence of drugs and alcohol can wind up involved in an undesirable predicament at lower levels of the astral plane.

This is why it is important that you know what you are doing and where it is you want to go. The goal is to astral project consciously. You should have complete control over what your astral body is doing. The control comes from your thoughts.

If you prepare yourself properly beforehand you can find yourself able to astral project very quickly. There are a number of professionals in the field of astral projection that teach different techniques to help a person gain that control and have a better experience, though most prefer to astral project on their own at home.

You can find various other resources such as books online. For instance, you can create the right state of mind by listening to quality astral projection hypnosis recordings. It will help you relax and walk you through the various stages. This is beneficial since you can continue playing the recording repeatedly until your subconscious mind picks up the message that it is all right for you to leave your body.

Binaural beats is the most recent of astonishing sound technology advances. It plays slightly different tones of sound frequencies in the ears simultaneously. This works well for inducing relaxation and the deep state of meditation rather quickly. This is fundamental for the success of astral projection.

Don’t get frustrated if you are not able to successfully astral project the first time or even the second or third time. This is something that you must practice. It is not an ability that you have to acquire, we are all capable of doing it, many have just forgotten how and need to fine tune the natural skill.

Still not convinced? When was the last time you dreamt of flying or felt as though you were falling? The flying was the astral body moving through the astral planes. The falling sensation came when you noticed that astral body coming back to the physical body. Astral projection is real! Anyone can do it and benefit from it, if they take the time to fine tune their natural ability.

An exciting new concept that many celebrities have started to endorse is known as ‘cosmic ordering’.

Many people know this as ‘the law of attraction’ but advanced cosmic ordering is far more specific than this.

What if you had a cosmic ordering service and all you had to do was request something and like magic, it would appear before you. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? The most amazing thing is that we already have this power and yet all we choose to order is more of the same.

Think of it in this way – you have a menu with an unlimited number of options in front of you, but you only look at the very first line -bread. You keep ordering only this, perhaps feeling that you do not deserve more than this.

Now picture yourself with limitless wealth. You can do everything you’ve ever wanted. You spend 11 months of the year traveling in your private jet. Life is like an unending vacation.

You would wear only the finest clothing and always look incredible. If you can visualize this and keep it in your mind for a few minutes, you are already on your way to achieving this goal. Most people have a very hard time imagining this kind of life for themselves and the idea of cosmic ordering seems like something which they will never be able to accomplish. So what is this cosmic ordering anyway?

Advanced cosmic ordering is something that can work for the majority of us – those of us who have tried cosmic ordering before and not met with the results we wanted. This involves a total reprogramming of your subconscious to eliminate the negative programming most of us receive from childhood on.

The years of negative programming and belief that there’s not enough for everyone dilutes and negates all the wonderful images that you put in your mind. Envy for another’s success reinforces the fact that you don’t have enough.

Thinking that you don’t deserve better makes it very hard for you to do better for yourself, even when the opportunity is right there in front of you.

Quantum physics is a scientific field which has opened new possibilities for thinking about the Universe. The rules are different than in the physics you remember from school and can be used a s a way to think about why some are more successful than others.

Your brain emits energy which is capable of affecting the smallest particle known to man – the quark. When a quark leaps from one level to another, it is called a quantum leap. When this change happens, the quark changes the properties of the atom containing it. Just think – if your mind can influence this change, than you can accomplish anything!

A lot of people don’t think that we can really change our circumstances by thinking about them differently. Maybe these people have tried cosmic ordering, but without believing that it could work – and so it did not, at least in their case. One thing which we can learn from the world of physics is that an observer changes the outcome of a process by simply observing it. For example, if you were to watch a process while believing that it will fail to produce a result, then that’s what will happen – you will have influenced the outcome just by being there as an observer – and not for the better!

If you have the proper instruction and get adequate practice, you’ll find that you really can use the cosmic ordering system to get anything you want. This was well known to the ancients; it is the basis of the belief in prayer found in every religion. However, most of us now don’t listen to science or religion and end up leading lives which leave us unsatisfied.

Teaching your mind to ask for the things which are best for you takes practice; and you must first clear away the negative thought patterns which have been ingrained in you. Now there are many ways to speedup this process and let you clear away your old unsuccessful thought and behavior patterns.

Advanced cosmic ordering uses new audio technologies, including binaural tones. These sounds help attune your brainwaves to the correct frequency to communicate with the universe. This is the very state which Buddhist monks spend years in meditation to reach.

Along with self-hypnosis and subliminal affirmation recordings, binaural sound can help you to eliminate your negative programming and start achieving your goals quickly.

Advanced cosmic ordering can work for you. Once you master the techniques, everything you want will begin coming your way – but you’ll have to work at it too.

If you are trying to comfort someone who is in pain due to the loss of a loved one then you need to read this article.

Encouraging words and tips may seem unnecessary to someone who is going through a hard time. In most cases when youtry to borrow and use daily words of encouragement quotes the grieving person may seem to discount them while continuing to indulge in the painful feeling.

No matter how strong a person may seem to be, every person needs some words that can inspire her or him. I can liken sharing such words to planting a seed. It can take a few days or even weeks for you to see the seeds germinating but through steady watering and a tod of understanding and endurance the seed does bring forth its fruits.

Likewise when you try to help someone get through a bad situation, never stop simply because you are not getting the reaction you expect. Don’t stop sharing beautiful words through Christian encouragement letters if you are dealing with a religious person and don’t dare give up.

If wound is new, then you really need to hand in there and give it your best shot. Exercise some patience and understanding. For some people, the healing process can take weeks, months and even years – depending on the extent of the pain or disappointment.

I know someone who lost a loved one and spend 24 months crying and mourning – literally. It turned out everything we kept saying to him over the years – in terms of encouragement, helped him to heal eventually. Truth is, I had started to give up on him and when he told me how I had helped I was really pleased.

So if ever you feel confused and tired of writing letter of encouragement to friend or loved one do not ever forget that they are helping her or hime to survive through each passing day. Be of good courage and do not stop talking positively into your friend’s life until you see a positive change.

Scientists estimate that we only use around ten percent of our mindpower. – Only ten percent! Can you imagine what would happen if you could access the remaining ninety percent? The results would be incredible!

In fact it has long been thought by scientists that people with all types of extra sensory and psychic powers have these powers because they are able to access different parts of their mind from other people. It seems that they were either born with this increased mindpower or have managed to develop this mindpower in later life.

Mind Power – Although the process is far from fully understood, the latest advances in quantum physics are beginning to reveal the true nature of the link between what we think and what we experience in ‘real’ life.

There are studies which seem to suggest that our minds have more power than we think to shape reality; in fact, it may be that our minds are the determiners of our world, not the other way around.

Popular books like ‘The Secret’ explain the idea that people can use their mindpower to change the world around them through what is called the law of attraction.

The law of attraction is all about cause and effect. The principle holds that our thoughts have no less of an effect than our physical actions and that focused thoughts can attract outcomes to us.

It seems that not only is the subconscious the prime mover behind psychic powers like remote viewing and telepathy, but is also our conduit to the energy of the universe around us.

In order to develop your mindpower, you need to get your conscious and subconscious minds in communication with each other. There a number of different methods to build this link and help you increase your mindpower.

Affirmations:- Most people know about the simple process of affirmations. By repeating a positive phrase, to yourself several times a day your subconscious mind eventually gets the message!

For example, you could increase your self esteem with affirmation such as ‘I am a confident, successful person’. You can also use affirmations to break bad habits, using sayings like ‘I do not smoke and have no desire to have a cigarette’.

When repeated, affirmations reach the subconscious and start producing the desired result.

So just take this a stage further and realize that anything you want to change will change; not just your behavioral habits but absolutely everything in your reality. This is mindpower!

Visualization:- Using visualization to develop mindpower involves closing your eyes and imagining what you want to happen. Your subconscious mind reacts strongly to pictures. Visualize yourself being successful. Imagine yourself will everything you have ever dreamed of! Visualize that new house, that new car. You can even make a scrapbook beforehand containing pictures of everything you want to manifest to help you focus. Visualize consistently and it really will appear in your life.

You can even visualize yourself using some of your other latent mental abilities. For example, visualize yourself communication with someone else telepathically or being able to use remote viewing. Using your mindpower in this way will help these natural psychic abilities to develop.

Hypnosis:- Hypnosis has long been known as a way to communicate with the subconscious and to increase mindpower. A hypnotist can give suggestions to your subconscious which it will act on.

Alternatively you can try self hypnosis where you listen to a recording of a hypnotherapist going through the session. The advantage of this, apart from the cost, is that you can keep listening to it over and over again.

Brainwave entrainment:- Brainwave entrainment uses new breakthroughs in audio technology. Certain frequencies attune your brainwaves resulting in many different benefits such as pain relief and improved memory.

Some frequencies attune your mind to the trance state where it becomes easy to speak directly to the subconscious and thus increase mindpower.

There are also frequencies designed to stimulate the chakras; these are your body’s energy centers – one of the most important chakras is the ‘third eye’ which corresponds to psychic abilities.

There are psychic powers which are latent in all of us. However, your mindpower needs to be enhanced before these abilities can be unlocked and developed. Otherwise, these capabilities remain deep in the subconscious and are unused.

In fact, when we speak of developing mindpower, it might be more accurate to talk about unleashing these powers which lie inside all of us and allowing us to use our full mental potential.

Past Regression – Past life regression teaches different techniques, which when learned and put into practice, will help you to recall your previous life or lives. Of course you will need to decide which of the available methods is best for you. With more and more people beginning to be interested in reincarnation people are needing to find out about these different techniques.

One good way to begin is to start taking notes on anything which might be a part of one of your past life. Write down everything which could be a clue – your emotions may be the best thing to track. Also take note of any phobias you have which seem irrational to you; these may be clues and your notes may start to show patterns which can tell you more about your past lives.

The first things to enter into your notes should be your likes and dislikes, fears, aspirations and anything which you seem especially strongly attracted to places, cultures and the like. If you ever experience deja vu, this should definitely be added into your past life notes.

Another important detail you should record in your journal is when you dream. Although our dreams are also current they can still reveal important clues and information. Assuming you are able to recall your dreams, be sure to record all the details of them.

Another way to go is Past life Regression.

A past life regression therapist guides you through your past life and interprets the information with your help. These therapist are trained professionals who use hypnosis. With time some people can learn to do self-hypnosis but for those who cannot, seeing a past life regression therapist can prove very beneficial and helpful.

Meditation can be another powerful tool to help you find out more about your past lives.

This is a private technique so therefore many people have a hard time in trusting what they receive. With meditation, it is important to trust in your instincts and feelings.

When meditating, it may seem to you as if you are merely daydreaming; however, you should take note of the things which come into your mind as you meditate, since some of these thoughts and images may be parts of your past lives.

A lot of people find that listening to music while they meditate is all they need to be able to relax and focus their minds. Alternatively, you might prefer to listen to the soothing and calming sound of water, or the helpful guided meditation audios that are available today. Lighting a pleasant smelling incense or burning some scented candles can help you to relax as well. Whatever you choose to help, it is important that you are completely relaxed and focused. If none of these do the trick then you might want to try something else.

Binaural beats.

This a type of audio process that when listening to various frequencies you can achieve a state of meditation that Zen monks can reach. When meditating, make sure it is somewhere quiet and peaceful. It is important that you can get comfortable whether sitting or lying down. While getting comfortable focus on relaxing and maintain a positive frame of mind.

It is important to relax your muscles and not get distracted by daily concerns. When that happens just acknowledge them and dismiss them. At first, this going to take some practice to get the hang of it. So don’t be surprised if nothing happens the first few times. Meditation takes practice. But when the true state of meditation happens questions will start to come. The answers may come to you when you are not looking.

This technique maybe of help in resolving issues in your current life. Some people have found that sometimes the people in their current life they have shared with a life with them before. In this way, you can do some research to verify the information received.

Reincarnation is present in every religion from Christianity to the Hindus. Some of these religions so strongly believe in reincarnation that they believe that any thing you do in one life for either good or bad will be paid for in the next life known as Karma. Then again knowing what happened to you in the past life may help you make a positive change in this one.

Keep in mind that you have to go into any of these practices with an open mind and be able to accept that what comes out. Your mind has to accept that it is all right to remember the past life while you are learning to accept the memories that are deeply buried in the subconscious. You have to be willing to learn from your past mistakes and correct them in this one so that this present life is better than the last.

Many experts in these area feel that has very positive impacts on your life now due to fore mentioned, learning from the past and if you still don’t accept past lives your subconscious may free a block in your mind that has had a negative effect on your body. There are other benefits from having done a past life regression.

Using past life regression can help you to make better decisions in your life by learning from the mistakes you have made in previous lives and avoiding them this time around.

Being able to see what you were or like in the past may help you see a hidden talent that was just waiting to be brought to the front and so help you live a richer, fuller life now. This will also help you have a much better understanding of yourself. If something about yourself that was a mystery before like say singing, maybe you were a professional singer in a past life. And so that talent is coming out even if no one else in your family can hold a tune.

Past life regression allows you to get to know yourself better, thereby making better decisions and choices n your current life. Therefore it is beneficial to investigate it further, as it helps you to discover just who you are and why you are the way you are.

Having a remote view is a little different from actually seeing something at a distance with your eyes. Remote viewing is the ability to see something which is far away and not in your actual line of sight.

Remote viewing is a subject of debate in many quarters and there is as yet no consensus on how or even why it is possible to remote view. There are studies which have had success at consistently producing remote viewing experiences, but others have been less conclusive.

Remote viewing works so very well that many of the governments of the world have made good use of it in order to protect their countries objectives from spies. However, eventually these countries considered that the same practice of remote viewing, could be used on them as well and they discontinued its use. After declassifying the research documents, the idea became available to the public and remote viewing became trendy.

How Does One Remote View?

You can practice remote viewing by using your available potential of powers and senses of extra sensory perception. It is very much like practicing astral projection, since you never have to be in the same location physically as that which you are remotely viewing, while you are viewing it.

Viewing any location you desire is possible when you are remote viewing, since there is no limit to the locations you can view. You can view the past, the present and even the future if you wish to do so.

Remote viewing is possible regardless of who you are or where you may be. Some individuals can remote view naturally, while it may take time, patience and effort for other individuals to learn how to remote view. Being able to focus your concentration is important while you are remote viewing, although, it may take some time and effort everyone has the ability to remote view.

Are you interested in having the experiences that will bring your reality into a new perspective? Learning how to remote view can be so beneficial to you and your life. You can train your mind to operate at a higher level with the vibrations of your thoughts when you learn how to remote view and then practice.

Enhancing Your Ability to Remote View

There are many methods and techniques you can use to learn remote viewing. First, you must learn to quiet your mind, and then focus your concentration keenly on any location, person or object that you are not in close location with or physically see.

Visualization techniques and meditation are both helpful to developing the mental capacities needed to remote view. You can consult with an expert or practice on your own with or without some helpful visualization and meditation aids.

For instance, a remote viewing journal is very resourceful, because you can track your progression of remote viewing. Without having to actually be, in any particular area, you can remote view any place or scene you desire to see.

Before you go to sleep, ask yourself to find the answer to a specific question. Once you receive your answer, write it in your journal. To get the best results, you should practice at a time when you expect not to be disturbed.

Another great remote viewing exercise that can aid you in developing your natural talents is to hold a photograph, face down where you cannot see the picture in you hands. Then, you should ask yourself to see the picture. Practice doing this exercise several times.

Keep in mind that this takes practice, so be patient and refer to your journal – this will help you identify what works for you and what does not. Build on your areas of strength and stick with your practice.

Remote viewing is one of the finer arts, when it involves the mind, spirit and body. You must continually work to develop your extrasensory skills and talents, including remote viewing to excel. If you need further resources, you can find a wide assortment of resources available to you right now, from which you can choose.

Lucid dreams are dreams you are having, but you are aware that they are dreams and can actually control them. You are aware of every move you make, and the things you say. You decide where you want to go, what you want to do, what you want to say and who you want to be with.

There are no limits to what you can experience through Lucid dreams. You can be the star of a romantic fantasy novel, or high action adventure, you can control the outcome or change the endings to what makes you happiest.

The advantages of lucid dreaming over normal dreams is obvious; you control them! They can be so vividly real that you may even have to do checks to be sure that you are really dreaming and not awake.

One way to make sure that you are dreaming is to attempt reading a book or paper. If you are dreaming your words are sure to change and make reading impossible. If you can’t read then it’s a lucid dream.

You may be having a fantasy about someone you want to be with. This may be impossible in real life, but of course anything is possible when you are lucid dreaming.

In lucid dreams you can decide the kind of events that can happen. Let’s say you are dreaming that you are with a person you desire to be with. In your dream that person can smile at you and even touch you. In fact in your dream, that person can do anything you want him to do!

Lucid dreams are very much possible. Though the body needs to revive itself for the next day by sleeping and resting, it is possible for your mind to be partly conscious.

It can take awhile to learn the techniques of lucid dreaming if you have never done it, but it can be learned over a period of time with practice.

You can begin by doing some dream recall everyday. Each day try to recall the dreams that you had in the night. You need to remember them to the last possible detail. It’s a great idea to keep some paper and pen handy to record your dreams. In the beginning you may not recall all the details. That’s not a problem. However, with constant practice, you will find dreams repeating themselves. This will enable you to completely record your dream. Make this a habit and soon you will have all your dreams recorded and can refer to them when you want.

Lucid dreaming is a great tool for writers. You can actually dream about all the characters, the plot and the way you want your story line to move. You can use lucid dreaming for expressing all your dormant desires and manifesting them in reality.

You need to make it habit to recall each and every detail about your dream. Once you do that, try sleeping again and if possible try to start the dream where you left and continue your dream from there. The dreams will repeat themselves so you can delve into more details every time that happens.

If you wake before your normal time, let’s say you have a couple of hours to go; this is the easiest time for lucid dreaming. It may seem like you have been awake and thinking all the time, but you have actually been lucid dreaming.

With practice it will become easier each passing day. Self hypnosis is also a great way to enhance your lucid dreaming experience.

You can sometimes put your mind into the mode of lucid dreaming using other techniques, such as binaural beats, which are a recent development in sound technology. By using sound waves to put parts of the brain responsible for lucid dreaming to work to instantly put you into the lucid dream condition and help you recall lucid dreams.

Can there really be any such thing as someone who is ‘telepathic‘? Most people would probably answer ‘only in some fantasy novel.’ But, look at all the things that people do today that once upon a time would have been ‘mere fantasy’: flying through the air; using the Internet to talk instantly to people thousands or millions of miles away; putting entire books on a hand-held device without needing any paper; and on and on.

Is has been said that a sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. The human race has used science and technology to learn things about the natural world we never knew. We’ve done things that were considered impossible flights of fancy jut a hundred years ago. We’ve had men walk on the bottoms of the oceans and on the surface of the moon (and we did it with technology that, by today’s standards, seems primitive). We can gather energy from the sun, the wind, and the water. And anyone can have a small device in their pocket that allows them to talk to anyone anywhere in the world. But this isn’t magic, its science… right?

To believe an individual may be telepathic has been considered mysticism, which is another word for magic. And it really isn’t much of a stretch to believe in the possibility of a Telepathic person. An individual who developed these mental properties, is misunderstood by many people.

The scientific investigation of Telepathic people falls under the area of paraphysics or parapsychology. The people who investigate it, paraphysicists or parapsychologists, try hard to use experiments and the scientific method to answer questions about telepathy, whether or not they like the answers they find. Some experiments on people with Telepathic powers have produced tantalizing results. In order to consider something scientifically provable, however, the test results must be measurable, consistent, and repeatable. This is where the scientific investigation of telepathy falls short—the test results are inconsistent and can’t always be duplicated. Some say this proves people can’t really be Telepathic. Others say this only proves that we don’t understand how it works yet, and haven’t developed the proper tests to measure it. But how could humans really be Telepathic? How can people communicate without the use of their five senses, using only thought alone? The obvious answer is through some means that we can’t hear, see, smell, taste, or touch, but that exists nonetheless. On the one hand, humans can already do this artificially using communication technology—radio waves can’t be observed with our five senses, but they definitely exist. On the other hand, the human brain is not a radio tower.

And, some of their experiments have brought tantalizing results to light. Unfortunately, there has never been a set of telepathic experiments that gives measurable, consistent, and repeatable results. This leads many people to conclude that telepathy has been disproven. But, other researchers insist that we haven’t yet designed the right experiments because telepathy is still so new to us.

Scientifically, human thought is just a biochemical process of neurons being transferred between different synapses in the brain. However, this transfer of neurons creates an electrical current—tiny, sure, but measurable. This electrical current also generates a tiny magnetic field. Keep in mind the brain has tens of thousands of synapses firing at any one time.

Can this bio-electric and bio-magnetic field be used by humans to communicate mind-to-mind? Do these electrical and magnetic waves carry content, or just the brain equivalent of meaningless static? Can people use mental training to control these brain waves? Can techniques like meditation or controlled thought be used to shape these brain waves into meaningful communication?

The human thought process is biochemical. It involves the nervous impulses being bounced from one neuron to another neuron. These transfers of impulses create electrical currents which can be measure even though they are very, very small. This small magnetic field generated by these currents produce, in the brain, thousands of synapses firing.

When you have electromagnetic fields, you have the possibility of communications-as our modern technology clearly proves. But, this brings us to another question: in these ‘thought waves’, is there truly content being carried, or is it all just ‘white noise’? If there is content, can we be trained to control sending and receiving it? Is meditation so effective for so many because it’s a method of tuning in the thought waves better, cutting out the noise and static, just as we do when we tune in a radio station and/or move the radio antenna around?

Another problem could be the relative weakness of the brain’s electromagnetic field. We have computers, cell phones, TV sets, stereos, and appliances all over the place today; and they all generate electromagnetic fields-stronger ones than the brain’s, meaning they might interfere with the brain’s transmission capacity.

There are, however, problems with the electrical and magnetic fields. Unfortunately these fields can be overpowered by everyday technology. For example the microwave, television, refrigerator. These everyday items produce much larger magnetic fields and electrical fields. Is it possible to reach the brains magnetic and electrical fields during an emotionally heightened state, fear, pain or shock? During these emotionally charged times, in the brain, a spiking of bio-magnetic and bio-electric activity is created by neuron synapses firing.

Researchers of parapsychology have documented brief Telepathic communications. One instance is a mothers knowing her child has been hurt, even though they are separated by many miles. This fear and anxiety the parent experiences creates the spiking of neurons and is this brain activity telepathically communicating? Does the relationship between two individuals contribute to telepathy? Or perhaps is this all just coincidence?

While mainstream science remains doubtful about telepathy because of the lack of consistent experimental results, this is a slowly changing attitude. As more research gets conducted, more researchers are convinced that telepathy must be real-and we just need to get the experiments right to understand it and be able to allow everyone to be trained one level or another as a telepath.

If you are not quite sure what it is, Lucid Dreaming is actually pretty simple. Lucid Dreams are those where you are aware of the fact that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. How lucid exactly your Lucid Dream is depends on how much control you have over the events of the dream, how stable the dream is and how many of the events of the dream you can remember once you wake up from it.

The most important part of lucid dreaming, of course is the question of whether or not you have control over the things which are happening in your dream and to be aware that you are dreaming. You are in the director’s chair of your dream – meaning that you can have any experience you want in your Lucid Dream.

Just think about this for a moment. A Lucid Dream is like reality in every aspect; you can see, feel and use all of your senses, but with the knowledge that you are perfectly safe and can do literally anything you want. This is a virtual reality experience far beyond the capabilities of any computer technologies to produce.

More and more people are learning how too use the skill of Lucid Dreaming. Most of us have a Lucid Dream from time to time but just think how wonderful it would be to be able to have a Lucid Dream anytime you want!

A Lucid Dream offers you the chance to have any experience you can imagine. You can meet and hang out with your favorite celebrities and historical figures, have erotic experiences, visit other worlds, speak with a long lost loved one; anything at all! There are no limits other than your imagination.

It can be fairly complicated to achieve controlled Lucid Dreams on a regular basis. Up until recently many people spent months in training and using special self-conditioning procedures before even experiencing one single Lucid Dream. Even then, most people never even succeed once, let alone on a regular basis.

So are there any simple ways of experiencing a Lucid Dream?

Many people who have experienced a Lucid Dream swear by eating certain foods just prior to the dream. If you would like to try this they usually recommend orange juice, milk, cheese, and mustard. These seem to produce the best results.

Also recommended by some are ice cream, popcorn, pickles and fish. Some people say that these foods are ideal for preparing your mind for Lucid Dreaming – but of course, many of these are high in salt and fat, which isn’t very conducive t a good night’s sleep.

Assistant Technology

New advances in technology have made it easier for people to experience Lucid Dreaming. Some of these devices use LEDs – there are sleep masks and eyeshades which can detect REM sleep and set off a LED, reminding the sleeper that they are dreaming. This then lets them take control over their dream.

Even more exciting devices are coming to the market. One of these is a piece of sound wave technology. This has opened up a new realm for those whom desire a Lucid Dream. The process involves playing a different sound wave in each ear. This process is known as binaural beats.

Binaural beats serve to induce a synchronizing in both hemispheres of the brain. As if instantly these two special frequencies induce the brain to produce a state of REM sleep. This is where your Lucid Dream can begin.

If you have always wanted to experience Lucid Dreaming for yourself, binaural sound presents the quickest and easiest way to begin.

Meditation provides a much-needed succor to the battered mind and soul. This fact is known for centuries to ancient civilizations, like Hindu. However, the Western world has only just realized the potency of meditation as a means towards a healthy physical and meta-physical existence. Chakra Meditation, or Chakra Balancing, is one of the Meditation methods that is most popular the world over purely because of its simplicity and effectiveness in bringing about a change in anyone’s life. This is also sometimes referred to as Chakra Healing.

The Seven Energy Centers and Chakra Meditation.

The meditation whose basic aim is to align the movement of all the seven primary Chakras in the body is termed as Chakra Meditation. Our body consists of 7 primary and over 20,000 secondary Chakras. For a better understanding of Chakra Meditation, it’s important to know what and where are the primary Chakras in the body:

*Root Chakra governing your general health, prosperity and well being is located at the base of the spine and related to the element ‘Earth’.

*Orange Chakra. This chakra lies on the naval. This is related to water which is one of the five “Panchbhutas” or elements. This governs our feelings and reproductive ability.

*Solar Plexus governing your metabolism, autonomy and conviction is located just above the naval region and related to the element ‘Fire’.

*Heart Chakra. This chakra lies around our heart and is related to most important of the five elements that is the air. This controls our feelings, relationships and sense of compassion for others.

*Throat Chakra. This charka relates to sound we make or hear and governs our communication ability, creative faculties and reverberations.

*Brow Chakra governing your power of imagination, visualization, and interpretation is located between the brows on the forehead and related to the element ‘Light’.

*Crown Chakra located at the top of the head and related to the element ‘thought’. It governs consciousness, wisdom, and knowledge.

If you want to reinvent yourself and bring back those vitalizing moments in your life, then there’s no substitute to Chakra Meditation. If these vital seven Chakras are rotating in sync, physical, mental, and spiritual well being is assured. Thus, you can safely conclude that Chakra Meditation is the key to overall health of your life, taken as a whole.

The synchronization of chakras promotes self healing of all physical and mental ailments.

Chakra Meditation, essentially, involves three steps or techniques.

*Grounding Technique refers to the process whereby, your body feels connected with Earth. The visualization involves assuming a root growing from your body and entering into the Earth, thus, transfixing your body to the ground. With some intense focus and determination, you can achieve this state of Chakra Meditation.

*Centering Technique refers to the process whereby, your body gets prepared to receive the benefits of Chakra Meditation. The actual step involves taking 3-5 deep breaths. And visualization involves the assumption of feeling of relaxation of every body part from toe to head by tightening and relaxing each body part starting from toe, and moving in the northwards direction, till the head. The final act is the visualization of the act of centering a pot on a pottery wheel.

*Relaxation Technique. The main part of Chakra Meditation is the Relaxation Technique. Different people have different ways of distressing, so find a way of relaxing which suits you the best and adhere to it. In short, Chakra Meditation aims at relaxing the body and visualizing the flow of energy through the seven chakras.

One of the popular methods of Chakra Meditation is detailed below:

*Sit or lie down comfortably.

*Close your eyes and loosen your clothing. The idea is to be in a natural state without any kind of artificial compulsion on the body and mind.

*Breathe in a relaxed manner, which is neither too fast nor too slow. Let the breath come naturally!

*The next step relates to feeling every part of your body from toe to head in that direction. While your eyes are closed, try to feel everything that you would’ve seen with open eyes, like earth, air, clothes, surroundings etc. The idea is to feel awareness even with closed eyes.

*Don’t resist any thought. Let any thought come and go without disturbing you.

*Let you spirit roam in every part of your body. This is the feeling of completeness you’ve been yearning for.

This exercise can be done at any time of the day and for any duration of time. However, the longer the better!

Life: It is something we all do, and something that has a nasty habit of crashing down on us at the most unexpected moments. No matter how good other areas of our lives, these bad times always seem to last forever and take over. At times like this, it is good to have something that encourages us to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves down. A great many have found strength and solace from famous inspirational quotes to urge them forward.

Whether to console, motivate, or to trigger memories, these quotes can help in all situations. Many feeling sorry for themselves have been urged on to fight the tribulations by such sentiments from George Patton as, “Success is how high you bounce when you hit rock bottom”. Whether disappointed at work, or at home, turning to such words of wisdom can provide inner strength.

Whilst some famous inspirational quotes are indeed from equally famous people, this does not have to be the case. Perhaps you yourself have thought of a phrase that urges you on? Write it down somewhere you can see it every day. Another benefit that famous inspirational quotes can have is to give something to others. Think of quotes that have helped you. Are there any that you can relay to colleagues, friends or family, to help them gain strength at a sense of purpose?

Whether you are a motivational speaker, heading up a team, or talking to the intake of new starters to your company, you can make your speech hit the right tone, by delivering such witty insights as, “Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.!, from the great Thomas Jefferson, and tying it in with the philosophy of the organization to urge them to hit the ground running.

Whatever the use of your speech, or the need of a boost, you can help yourself a great deal by reading lists of famous inspirational quotes. Perhaps you could select one or two special to your own circumstances, and refer back to them each morning?
