Last night I had the most bizarre experience, and I am not quite sure what to do with it.

 

It all started because I had downloaded Wendi Friesen’s Financial Abundance program MP3’s, and I burned them to CD’s so I could listen to them with some good quality headphones before I go to sleep. Last night I was on day 4 which is called “meet your future.” If you don’t know who Wendi is, she does hypnosis and helps others to learn hypnotism through her amazing hypnotism audios. These are life changing sessions!


Anyhow, during the hypnosis session I visualized myself very successful in the future and I was in front of a very large audience talking, and the people gave me a standing ovation and seemed to really like me. Now, just the thought of talking in front of ANYONE sort of terrifies me, as I am a behind the scenes kind of gal. And here I was, and actually enjoying myself too.

That was nice, but it is what happened AFTER that session that I am talking about. I turned off the CD player and settled down to go to sleep, but after about 15 minutes or so my mind started racing.

All at once I not only very clearly saw what has been holding me back all of these years, but I was creating an entire speech in my head based on that very revelation. A speech that was tailor made to stand up in front of a crowd with.

It was a lesson in the law of attraction and overcoming limiting beliefs, which I have been studying for awhile, but it isn’t a topic that I would ever have based a speech on, or felt like I knew enough about it to teach others.

I was so tired but I couldn’t shut my mind off and I didn’t want to forget, so I got up and started writing. The words went down on the paper as quickly as if I were talking to someone. The only notebook I could find was a 5″x 8″, but I cranked out 14 or 15 pages in under a half hour. Then I went back to bed and I STILL kept thinking of things to add to my “speech”, but I was so tired that I finally went to sleep. Of course today I have forgotten the last little bit, but I had to get some sleep! It was 1:30 in the morning by this time and I had had a pretty rough day.

 

It was just the most amazing thing! So all day today I have been wondering what to do with this new speech I have. Maybe it will just sit on paper for awhile? After all, how often does one get the chance to give a speech?

 

My takeaway from this is that I had a profound insight into what has been holding me back all of these years (junk from my childhood), so I can change my path going forward. All it took was ONE hypnosis session too!

 

After this experience with hypnosis, I can definitely see the value in it for self growth, and will be using it on a regular basis. In fact, my experience even inspired my to start this blog.

I wonder what else I can do with it???

 

If you want to learn hypnosis for yourself there is plenty of information available online, but I can highly recommend Wendi’s programs from my own personal experience.

I plan on blogging about future breakthrough’s as they happen….

Many people who suffer from Panic Attacks or Generalized Anxiety Disorder have seen dramatic improvements results through the use of a managed regimen of relaxation techniques.   Relaxation is the process of turning-off the response of anxiety to the demand for a release or escape that is not forthcoming.  Scientifically it is yet to be fully explained, but most clinicians agree that the technique tends to work because the mind of a relaxed person will normally relax emotionally.

Several subsets of this technique or practice are abounding in the press, but the majority of them surround controlled breathing nd the associated relaxation that follows. The slow breathing increases the content of carbon dioxide (CO2) in bloodsream. This then changes the chemistry of your body and has a flow-on effect that generally calms the nervous system.

The problem, however, that many people experience in the process of slowing down their breathing is that they have difficulty concentrating or become easily frustrated. Other people are very sensitive to increases of CO2 in their blood and get panicky. So, for some people managed breathing is not a pleasant experience.

 

Specific Relaxation Regimen to prevent a Panic Attack 

  • Get into a comfortable position, preferably prone, and concentrate on breathing deeply but slowly through the mouth.
  • Focus on making each breath an extended and gentle process. Concentrate on keeping it up until you begin feel a sense of relaxation and visualize on a serene country or woodland setting.
  • Use positive feedback and tell yourself – as you begin to relax – that it’s working.  This will produce a reinforcement of the effects and relaxation should increase.

Many people who attempt this technique are frustrated by their tendency to experience hyperventilation as a result of the altered CO2 content in their blood.  It is a practiced effect and a regular process that often results in the person simply falling asleep.  This is, in itself, a form of success in learning to manage your emotional via your physical state.   You should begin to experience a relaxed state in no more than 15 minutes – eventually 10.  The use of this technique should be daily with a single session, adding additional sessions when stress levels or anxiety begin to emerge.  Over time it will be possible to lengthen the interval between breathing sessions until you are doing them weekly instead of daily.  Then you should try eliminating them altogether and monitor your overall experience to determine if you can now avoid an anxiety attack

For those individuals who suffer panic attacks and nervousness while driving a motor vehicle  you may be pleased to discover that there is a system obtainable created specifically for showing you how to overcome fear of driving.  This is called the Driving Fear Program and was developed by Rich Presta.  You can read a Driving Fear review by clicking here.  There’s lots of persons out there who can live their day-to-day lives free from panic and anxiety symptoms until such time as they drive their vehicles.  These folks will surely find it useful to obtain a course to adhere to customized specifically for driving a motor vehicle.  There are many panic and anxiety programs for sale but they’ll be crammed with situations that don’t actually apply to people with driving phobias.

The fear of driving frequently starts as being caused by an unpleasant occurrence that occurred whilst driving.  For many anxious drivers they may have been anxious about driving a vehicle right from his or her first driving lesson and have found it very difficult to gain assurance since.

Anxiousness when driving a car may possibly arise from the second the driver opens the door to jump into the automobile, or perhaps it could only come about under specific circumstances.  Nervousness may be caused by the fear of becoming lost or having a breakdown and getting stuck.  Many other nervous individuals simply just can’t stand busy commuter traffic and traffic jams because it makes them truly feel trapped without having method of escape.  Yet another very common driving terror is that of going over bridges.

No matter the reason for your driving anxiety whenever you feel your fear it’ll undermine your self-confidence in driving a vehicle.  The sensation of anxiety whenever you drive becomes associated with the driving experience.  Therefore merely contemplating driving a vehicle is often more than enough to bring about anxiety since you come to be conditioned to connect driving with fear and anxiety.  You will have come to think whenever you drive you’ll have fear and anxiety.  It is possible to defeat your scared of driving troublesome belief with a brand new one that offers you assurance.

The fear of driving phobia is known as hodophobia.  You do not always need to be a driver to be able to experience nervousness whilst driving a vehicle a lot people are frightened driving as passengers.

Anxiety and panic have the same root cause irrespective of whether they are experienced whilst driving a vehicle or in another circumstance.  They all are induced because of the activation of the fight or flight reaction.  This is the biological instinct to be able to perceive danger and take action to guard yourself.  Your body will be physically preparing to remain and fight or try to escape to safety.  Panic and anxiety is an overreaction to some situation you think to be life-threatening while in fact you’re absolutely free from danger.  You’ve ended up thinking that driving is risky and then this normal impulse becomes triggered all too easily.

Anxiety is really a natural reaction to danger and so it does not suggest that there’s something wrong with you.  Therefore if you encounter these horrible signs and symptoms there is no need to assume that you are physically sick, because you are not.  Driving worry is really a behavioural condition which you learned and you may unlearn it as well.  Unlearning how to be nervous when driving a car is going to disarm the trigger that causes the flight or fight response to become activated.  This is what the Driving Fear Program can coach you on the way to do.  This is how I was able to  overcome my fear of driving.

Everyone experiences anxiety as a normal course of events in our daily lives and we now understand that this is for most people a positive part of personal experience.   However, it is when this occurs regularly and with significant impact on our daily lives – especially regarding other than serious issues – that we should begin to consider that there may be something else at work here – a burgeoning anxiety disorder condition. 

The question tends most often to be one that asks how much is significant and how often is too often for us to have these feelings.  More importantly, however, is not how often but how severe the reaction is and how much negativity it injects into our daily lives.  While not an easy answer to make, science tends to agree on the frequency and severity of the effect on your daily life that produces the right answer.

General questions like – Do you worry about things more than you use to? – are of little help, especially in the clinical sense when you are attempting to self-diagnose your level of need for professional help.  Therefore, it is prudent to consider an emphatic and systematic approach that attempts to assign a ‘significance’ factor to the possibility of a panic attack based more upon empirical rather than comparative, i.e comparing present to past experience levels, approaches.  Here are some obvious questions and the related empirical quantification:

1.  Do you experience a level of worry or anxiety that stays with you for more than several seconds on a regular basis throughout your day.  Seldom?  Occasionally?  Often?

2.  Do you tend to see the outcome of potential problems as being BOTH negative and severe?

Seldom?  Occasionally?  Often?

3.  Do you tend to remember past, negative experiences as being more severe than they actually were?

Seldom?  Occasionally?  Often?

4.  Do you have the same feeling or worry about an issue or problem more than once during the same day?  Seldom?  Occasionally?  Often?

5.  Do you re-live or re-ponder negative thoughts of the day as you prepare for sleep and arise?

Seldom?  Occasionally?  Often?

6.  Do you find yourself pondering a potential issue or problem with a greater level of worry or greater level of expected severity-of-outcome? Seldom?  Occasionally?  Often?

If you answer ‘Often’ to 3 or more of these questions, you probably have a growing level of anxiety and you might experience an anxiety attack.

Lucid dreaming is one of the most fun (legal) things you can enjoy no matter what the laws are where you live. Lucid dreams are when you are aware that you are dreaming during the dream state, and coming out of your sleep by waking up, you stay in the dream and “control” the dream.  Since dreaming hasn’t the same limitations as the ”real” world, you can pretty much go where you want to.  A lot of folks visit foreign shores by flying there, but you can also dream any situation you like, not to mention.  What fun!  Your imagination really is the limit  in a lucid dream.

The average person will only have one or two lucid dreams in their lives, and frequently when you realize you are dreaming, it triggers an auto wake up reaction. It is difficult to keep lucid dreams active.  Until now that is…

Here it is important to remember, your relaxation, your sleep, and your dreaming are all dependent on your mind entering certain brainwave patterns or states.  Lucid dreams are no exception.  And now anyone can induce particular brainwave patterns / states by listening to binaural beats and other accoustic frequencies in the range of the human auditory spectrum.

When we move from an awake Alpha state to one of sleep we dip, down into Delta and Theta brainwave patterns. When we wake up, we shift back up into an Alpha state, which is a faster brainwave. To create a lucid dream, you must experience the Delta and Theta brainwave states like you always do, but instead of reaching the full Alpha state and awakening, you must ease down into a Theta state before waking up. This most often trigger a lucid dream if you set that intention before falling asleep.

This new 45 minute recording by The Unexplainable Store replicates that sequence.  It promotes lucid dreaming by guiding you into a deep sleep by controlling the frequencies you are hearing.  These are then followed by the “dreaming” Theta frequencies. After a set amount of time, the frequencies you hear (even though asleep) will rise, close to Alpha waves, than drop back down to Theta waves. For more information visit Binaural Beats Store today!

With some regular sessions, and the right approach, anyone and everyone can learn to meditate.. With these examples I can explain how to get rolling and prepare yourself to begin the journey of understanding how to meditate, and help you visualize the process and any problems you may come across along the way.

Preparation of Place

There’s no end of places you can meditate. It depends entirely on what is available in your preferred location. All you need is a tranquil place without interruptions. Your selected room could the modest spare room at home, which is perfectly adequate. Or your bedroom. Or living room. Or even the en-suite. It is not the place itself that’s important but what you are able to bring to it. With practice, determination and focus you will be able to meditate anywhere that you want. Whichever place you finally decide on, it should be a location that you have access to easily. Using the same place for your meditation can create an empowering effect, as it will act as a trigger to entering a meditative state of mind. Minimize likely distractions as far as possible; take the phone off the hook or it is bound to ring.

Burning some incense or lighting a candle is a popular method of preparing to meditate. Anything like this that you can do easily to enhance the ambiance of the room are very precious. Your meditation period can also be subtly started and brought to an end using these techniques. If this approach appeals to you, feel free to use it all the time. Using props can really help empower your meditation. They are great at helping set the mood. You should always put them away after each session though, as you can become accustomed to them being around. However, you should think about their real benefit if you have a hard time meditating without them.

Whichever meditation techniques you use when first starting off, and especially as you learn to meditate on a much deeper level, you’ll quickly realize that your props only serve to help enter the right state of mind. They are not essential, and should never be viewed as such. As you get better and more accustomed to meditation, it’s likely you’ll realize they are surplus to requirements. The simple act of entering the room where you meditate will be enough to trigger your desired state of mind.

Meditation is a state of mind that you can enter into wherever you are. There is a great deal to be said for sometimes moving outside when possible to meditate in the lap of nature. It opens up the possibility of meditating upon your surroundings and participating into the natural rhythm of the landscape.

Meditation is a private thing. Don’t let it intrude into your family’s private space. Respect their privacy as they respect yours.. It’s possible that other family members may not be appreciative of your new venture. It is much simpler to retire quietly to your room with as little fuss as possible rather than draw attention to yourself with billowing clouds of incense and sounding gongs.

A popular way of learning meditation is through a coaching session or meditation class. What better way to learn to meditate than with an expert in the field following their guided meditation techniques. Your teacher will take you through the various stages and techniques to fully relax and focus your thoughts. One of the main benefits is learning different ways to prepare for each meditation session.

Preparing Yourself

Your internal preparation is more important than any time spent preparing your place of meditation. It’s important to spend some time preparing yourself. In the same way that many religions throughout the world take off their shoes as they are about to cross the threshold from the mundane to the sacred, so we need to remind ourselves of the same thing. Washing as a ritual act is also used to separate the physical and the metaphysical. For our own purposes, washing hands and face can serve as suitable preparation for our meditation session. What matters is that there should be some acknowledgement of crossing a boundary from one state to another. Your normal state can be forgotten once you move to your inner state.

Meditation is like following a new route through your life to a new beginning. Everything in meditation begins with relaxation. Master this skill and you’re off to a great start. Eventually, relaxing becomes second nature. But at least to begin, it needs to be practiced regularly. Your first goal for meditation is to fully relax on a physical level yet create a single point of mental focus. This is also the time to shed any tensions of the day, especially over-burdening emotional stress. You can learn to relax quite simply by going through the meditative process. Look on meditation as having both mental and physical aspects and benefits. You must ensure that the body experiences the feeling aspect of the process.

Meditation has been practiced in the East even in ancient times.  Ancient seals excavated from Harappa, which was part of what is now known as the Indus Valley Civilization, show a male figure in a classic meditation pose.

Eastern societies have recognized the benefits of meditation for centuries. As meditation has come to the West along with Eastern traditions like Yoga, there has been increasing attention from the scientific community on the potential health and lifestyle benefits of meditation

The physiological effects of meditation

A wide range of physiological benefits have been reported in scientific studies on the benefits of meditation:

  • lower pulse rate
  • lower blood pressure
  • increase in alpha rhythms
  • theta activity
  • hemispheric synchronization
  • decreased cortisol and andrenal hormones
  • decrease in serum cholesterol levels
  • reduced muscular tension
  • reduced oxygen and energy consumption

The psychological and behavioral effects of meditation

Scientific studies on meditation benefits also show a host of psychological and behavioral effects of meditation :

  • improved visual perception
  • improved memory and recall
  • improvements in learning ability and intelligence
  • reduction in acute and chronic anxiety
  • relief from addictions, neurosis, obesity, claustrophobia, headache, and other forms of distress

Other effects of meditation

Scientific studies are begininng to show proof of a spectrum of effects that go beyond the physiological and psychological benefits of meditation cataloged above.   These include:

  • equanimity
  • ineffability
  • detachment
  • bliss
  • higher levels of energy and excitement
  • altered body image and ego boundaries
  • dreams
  • extrasensory experiences etc.

Kinds of meditation studied

The benefits of meditation reported by scientific studies span a number of different meditation techniques, indicating that meditation as a practice, no matter which method or technique is used, seems to have a range of benefits.

Transcendental meditation or TM is one of the widely researched meditation techniques.  One of the most widely researched meditation techniques in Transcendental Meditation, or TM, as it is widely known.  Over 200 scientific published studies show that this technique reduces stress, boosts learning ability and creativity, and improves brain functioning.

Zen meditation has also be the subject of various scientific studies. Beyond cataloging the benefits of mindfulness that comes from meditation, some of these studies explore questions such as whether the brain is hardwired for mystical experiences that are often reported from meditation practices.

Vipassana meditation, a technique that emerged in India 2500 years ago, has also been studied closely.  Some of these studies from reputed research institutions like Harvard, Yale and MIT have reported on how meditation can actually alter the structure of our brains.

Tibetan meditation is now increasingly studied by scientists through the ongoing work of the Dalai Lama with the scientific community.  The Mind and Life Institute catalogs these studies and their results.

A plethora of meditation techniques exist such as Osho Active Meditation, Sahaja Meditation, and various kinds of Buddhist Meditation.  All of these are also subject of various research studies, each showing something promising about the role and value of meditation in our lives.

Summary of Meditation Benefits

Science is only at the very early stage of examining meditation, but these early research studies are incredibly promising already. 

If just the relaxation and stress relief benefits of meditation weren’t enough, these research programs have already found that meditation can result in improved physiological functioning, development of mental potential, improved academic performance, better health and prevention of disease, reversal of the aging process, reduced anxiety, reduced drug and alcohol use, enhanced job performance and job satisfaction, decreased urban crime, and even help creating world peace.

Given the growing scientific proof of the spectrum of benefits of meditation, It may be time that meditation is more widely taught and embraced in various settings.

The law of attraction is an out come of new generation thinking school, they claim based on studies that our thoughts and desires in conscious and unconscious mind can influence the chances in our life. When Shakespeare says character shapes destiny, the same thoughts emerges in to scientific truth after centuries. Law of attraction says we can change things happening around us by applying some law of attraction. We can influence our own thoughts not just by motivation but by other way too.

 

The talk and experiments over this got wider attention when the Australian writer turned producer Ronda Byrne produced a movie “The Secret” regarding the subject. People’s quest for much information about this characteristic of human mind turned them to pay keen attention to national and international debates and park them before internet. People turned to different ways of practicing law of attraction. So how can we practice law of attraction? That is the question of the hour. Here you have a few simple thoughts that will help you to practice law of attraction in our life and make your life beautiful

 

The most important concept of law of attraction is ‘you get what you desire”. If you desire much, you will get as much as you can. If you desire less you will get as less as you could. It may capital, name, career. You are getting proportionate to your desires. So desire much and gain much. Humanity always reflects our attitude. Didn’t you see some people with attractive personality gain a lot of friends where ever they are? They develop a set of attitudes and this will emit appositive aura around them. This aura has the capacity to attract people to them. If you are positive and progressive world will gather around you. So try to be the best among your peers. If you want to be the best you can sure be the best by through desire for the best

 

Just a fancy wish is not enough. A scattered idea about your wanting can’t help. Think about what is so deep in your mind. What you lack the most. Nothing can prevent you from gaining some of your extreme desires. Be focus on your desires.

 

Brush up your mind. When your mind is full of positivism ask deep questions to mind, ask yourself how you can gain your wishes, how to make yourself attractive, what are your strongest desires, and focus on your desires. You’re free and auspicious mind will reply truly to your questions. Spend time every day to practice this meditation and find answer from your own soul.

 

Value the spirit of others and respect yourself. Don’t miserly while you appreciate others achievements. While you appreciate others, a kind of positive feeling will arouse in your mind and that will help your mind to reach in to yours desires.

 

Start simple: start with something very small and simple that you wish to possess intensely in your mind; for example, a little guitar. Picture what you want in your mind, visualize its specific features in your mind, its color size attractive shape and write it in a paper in distinguishing words in. Spend a little time everyday to recollect the image your lovely guitar and try to remember it in your mind with its smallest details.
