How The Mind Works - Program Your Mind For Success

By Ayman de Meijer


When we hear the term "mind" we often think of the brain, but the mind is much more than the brain. The brain is the hardware while the mind is the software it runs. When you are dead, your brain will still be there (for a while), but your mind will not.So just what is the mind? If we are going to get any use out of the mind, we need a definition that is useful. Although the word "mind" leads us to believe the mind is a thing, it is not. The mind is label we have given to an active and dynamic process of thinking, perceiving and experiencing. The term "mind" refers to a never-ending flow of information processing. The mind is never static. It is a constant stream of sensory input, thoughts, ideas and perceptions. It's a continuous dance of information, a ceaseless stream of awareness in which almost anything can be swept up.

Your left brain works with logic, words, parts and specifics, analysis of situations in detail, and sequential thinking. The left brain interestingly enough has a sense of time and a sense of your goals correlated with your position in relation to those goals. Talk about a finely tuned instrument. The left brain also governs/runs the right side of your body.

Directing and guiding this stream of awareness is a system. We can think of the mind as system that directs our information processing. This system is made up of numerous elements, all interacting and influencing one another to generate our experience. The way we experience the world is through the process of representing, sequencing and ordering the information we acquire from the outside world. The system of information processing we call "the mind" can also be called our internal reality. We each have an external reality- the environment we live in, the circumstances of our lives - and we each have our own unique internal reality. It is this internal reality that lies behind emotions, behavior and results. Our inner reality is far from a random mess of mental chaos. Human subjective experience has a structure. Knowing the specific elements that make up the structure of our internal reality enables us to alter the structure so that it serves us better.

For thousands of years we have believed that the mind was complicated and elusive; a mystery waiting to be unraveled, a cipher waiting to be cracked. We now know that the mind is much simpler than we once thought. When we know the building blocks of human subjective experience, the elements that make up what we call "mind," we can change them.The components of a system can be reorganized. The processes we use to encode information and the sequence data can be optimized to produce desired results. When we know the elements of a system we can change the system so it functions more effectively and efficiently. When we know what is going on behind the scenes of behavior and emotion, we can change it and transform our experience.

For hundreds of years the field of psychology tried to find a way to change emotions and behavior. The methods devised made great theories, but never really resulted in much change. Some of the theories made a lot of sense, but practice didn't seem to yield any results. The advocates of different psychological theories over the past hundred years spent more time arguing over theories than trying to find something that really worked. It took up until the late 1970s before a model that was actually useful and practical was devised.

Those beliefs can be accurate, irrelevant or simply false but they have an almost total hold on the way that we comprehend our reality. It's as if we had been hypnotized to accept those beliefs and forced to see a reality that is in complete concordance with those beliefs.

Emotions and behaviours don't come out of nowhere. They result naturally from our internal programming. For whatever emotions you feel and whatever behaviours you produce, your programming must be perfectly optimized to produce that result. If you are depressed, your mind has been programmed to produce depression. If anxiety is your constant companion, your mind has been programmed to produce anxiety. If you find yourself lacking confidence, or giving into to self-sabotage, it's because your mental software permits it. And if you live a life of joy and success, it's because your internal programming has been optimized to generate that result. Problems are learned, and if they can be learned, they can be unlearned. Change your programming and you change the result.

Although you never go anywhere without your mind, most of what goes on in the mind remains a mystery to you. Why? Because much of what occurs in your mind is out of awareness. Our mental programs operate behind the scenes, out of consciousness, and it is those aspects of our functioning that operate out of awareness that lead to emotions and behaviours. To put on a great show and produce the results we need to navigate in the world, there is a whole crew of things going on backstage. All we see is the final performance.

And here is why you want to know what they do for a living. A manager would be a left brain person (appeal to his/her logic and love of analysis). A leader would be right brain (appeal to his/her emotions and imagination). A producer - that would depend on the kind of work done. If the work done is verbal, logical, and analytical - that is left brain. If the work is intuitive, emotional, and creative - that is right brain. Can you be a combination? Yes, but usually one is more predominant that the other.

Charles Linden Method - An Easy Way To Overcome Your Anxiety

By Lotye Vaillancourt


Charles Linden has been working hard towards creating effective stress relief methods for a long time now. Numerous people who have been suffering from anxiety, phobias and fear have benefited greatly from the Charles Linden method. There was a time when Charles himself found it very difficult to overcome the stress and anxiety in his life. Thus, he decided to come up with an effective solution that would not only help him, but also others suffering from similar problems.

The Method does not work the way normal drugs do. No doubt, most of these drugs do offer a good amount of relief, but fail to eradicate it completely. The relief is just temporary. The worst thing about such drugs is that they are in some cases responsible for causing negative side effects. The Method is of great help to all those suffering from different kinds of phobias.Amygdala, a tiny neutral structure present in the brain is responsible for various emotional and motivational behaviors. The human being gets into a tensed state of mind whenever this organ receives wrong responses. The Method facilitates the proper functioning of Amygdala thereby helping you feel relaxed and calm.

Part of the Linden Method review says that people find the treatment simple but easy-to-follow. They also see it as concise and clear procedure. There are people who say it is an ease to use it because it can be done at home.However, there are a few numbers of people who say that it really does not work as a cure based on the Linden Method review. The overwhelming information about anxiety only makes them worried about their condition. Some also say that there should be herbal medications and guidance from experts. They find it doubtful to use because it is just a mere online course but it costs a lot. Other people also say it is one of that senseless internet scam around.

The Charles Linden Method is one among leading self-help anxiety combat methods available today. There are many online resources available to fight stress and anxiety, but the Linden's method is the only one with approvals of a majority of physicians and psychiatrists. Majority of the people look for medications such as antidepressants to fight anxiety. However, it is very important to consult a qualified doctor before taking any medications.

But does the Linden method really work for everybody? Charles Linden admits that though the success rate of his method is 97.6% there is a slim chance that this method might not work for you. However, after 10 years and over 136,000 people who attest to being cured from their panic attacks with this method, chances are this method might be your ticket to an anxiety free life.The one real thing that you have to know is that Panic Disorder is not a mental disorder but a behavioral problem. Therefore it is very much curable. People with this kind of condition are constantly looking for a cure for their ailment. It is very difficult for them to live a normal life if they are frequently plagued by even the mildest panic attacks. They have difficulty functioning in society, maintaining stable relationships and being productive at work.

How does a person know he has panic disorder? It is normal for a person to feel panic when faced with a compromising situation. That is the body's natural way of defending itself. But when there is no real cause for panic, or the thought of the situation just presents itself then you feel the classic symptoms of anxiety, then maybe you are having a panic attack.

Constant worrying and sweaty palms are the simplest forms of a panic attack. Anxiety attacks, agoraphobia, mood swings, obsessiveness, suicidal tendencies, confusion, thoughts of harming others, depersonalization (feelings of yourself being removed from your body), disturbing dreams, derealization (feelings of being in a dream) and other unusual thoughts or notions are extreme signs of panic disorders. Treatment and medications may offer temporary comfort but rarely cure the ailment permanent. Charles Linden, who was once plagued by agoraphobia, found a way out of his own condition. He shared this treatment and called it his own as the Linden Method. A lot of people who may not know of his well known and efficient method of treatment are wondering: "How does the Linden Method work?"

This is why I want to spread the word about the Linden method as a safe and secure way to get rid of your panic and anxiety attacks once and for all.Don't walk around with a decease if you don't have to and now that I have told you a little about the Linden method and how a guy actually helped himself to get rid of his sickness,you can tell your friends and family about this because more people then you think are actually suffering from this. It could be you, me or your best friend. Maybe someone in your own family?

Are Natural Remedies For Anxiety Available? - Anxiety Disorder Explained

By Victoria W. Bergman


You may wonder why natural remedies for anxiety are so sought after by so many people lately. Well, if you have ever tried any of the addictive prescriptions for anxiety relief you already know why this is. Many people just don't want to take these kinds of prescriptions to treat anxiety anymore because of the additional problems that can be caused. If you are lucky enough to get your anxiety under control, you often have to deal with the added aggravation that comes with discontinuing a prescribed medication.

This anxiety does not help us in any way to meet the future any better. In fact, it weakens and exhausts us. We usually worry most about things that we can't even control. Worrying about your dental visit, for example, will not make the visit better.Anxiety, in fact, is a silent killer. It is enervating, and it drains you of purpose and hope, faith and initiative. It fogs up your thinking. And it makes the body susceptible to illness.When anxiety--a fear of an event in the future--is high enough then you feel a deep sense of helplessness. This, in turn, translates into depression. You even begin to view the past as disappointing.

In order to feel more calm though, there are some remedies that are herbal that have been a great help to a lot of individuals. Some remedies like Passionflower can be ingested in a variety of ways, which produce a feeling of relaxation for many people. Some herbs even help with insomnia and stomach problems which can flare up during times of acute stress.You have to be careful when you take herbs or supplements like these though, because they can cause some unwanted side-effects. As with any medication, always consult your doctor before taking anything new to be on the safe side.As an anxiety sufferer, you have a few things that you can do that can do to try to get through your anxiety without becoming dependent on some pill that you end up becoming addicted to, which never helped you in the first place.As a Homeopath, I deal with a large number of clients (adults and children) suffering from anxiety. So, I'm writing this article to give you, the reader, information about homeopathic medicine, and also to give you information about which remedy may be useful for your anxiety. The correct homeopathic remedy can cure anxiety swiftly and painlessly.

Grief Anxiety: Sometimes people experience symptoms in times of grieving or with emotional mood swings. If you've experienced a loss, disappointment or feel lonely your anxious feelings can manifest and sometimes be accompanied with abdominal cramps, back pain, and/or headaches. Ignatia Amara is a homeopathic remedy that can help with this type of anxiety.

The above four examples are some types of anxiety that people suffer from, it is possible to experience symptoms from more than one, however there are homeopathic remedies for anxiety available to you that you can use to try to cure your symptoms. Choosing a natural method and avoiding prescription medication that could have side effects is the preferred first choice when diagnosing and treating anxiety symptoms.

Medicine-Based Anxiety Treatment.Many people who are suffering from anxiety disorders rely on drugs or medications in order to help them function and perform their regular daily activities. Of course, the main goal of the medical treatment is to try and eliminate the anxiety disorder. These drugs would also try to help reduce the symptoms and recurrences of these anxiety disorders. These are some of the common drugs used in anxiety treatment:SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) - This class of drug helps to inhibit or block the reuptake (or reabsorption) of serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical in the brain that functions to regulate the mood as well as anxiety. SSRIs are the first drug of choice for some anxiety disorders. Examples of SSRIs include two well known brands, Prozac and Zoloft.

What are the main co-morbid disorders? The first one is anxiety and depression. The second most common one is oppositional defiance disorder (ODD) followed closely by OCD. The latter stands for obsessive compulsive disorder.Actually, OCD is very closely related to anxiety because this is where the child becomes over anxious about things that may harm, frighten or dirty his environment. He becomes obsessed with these and will perform repetitive rituals or compulsions in order to protect himself from these. Somebody has appropriately called this disorder an overactive alarm system.

This avoidance, which is totally understandable, can gather momentum at break neck speed, especially when panic attacks are involved, because the sufferer will then start becoming anxious about having to face their anxiety! Fear of fear itself! As stated earlier, our perception is the key to this. Any feeling we experience, good or bad, is not created by our experience in that moment. The meaning we place on that experience creates the feeling. This is where our power lies. One way of gradually chipping away at anxiety is to be aware of and challenge our thoughts. Every thought produces an emotional and physiological response. You will therefore be able to gauge the quality of your thoughts by the way you are currently feeling. If you decide to use homeopathic remedies to cure your anxiety, before starting treatment, rate your anxiety level from 1 to 10 (10 being the highest level). This will help you see the great progress you are making during treatment if your cure is not swift and dramatic. Everyone is different and will heal at their own pace.

It seems that psychostimulants are not really the best way of treating anxiety and ADHD. One solution is to take a closer look at homeopathic remedies for anxiety and ADHD. The main ingredients used in a lot of the preparations are aimed at calming the child down which immediately leads to fewer worries. Then they are also effective at helping the child to relax, to focus better and also the child will be much less reckless and impulsive.

The ingredients used are those famous ones such as hyoscyamus, arsen iod and tuberculinum. The great thing about these remedies is that there are no side effects so that sleep problems and eating disorders just do not exist. That is such a relief for many parents. There are no health risks or long term doubts about what these reparations are doing to the developing child's brain.

It's Not Early For Retirement Planning

By Bessie D. Burton


Clint Eastwood playing "Dirty Harry" warns, "A man's got to know his limitations." This advice is particularly appropriate for financial planners and advisors who are giving advice beyond their expertise. Though I am biased because I have over 27 years of technical expertise in the IRA and retirement plan area, the lack of knowledge in this area can cost clients hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

It is always beneficial if we have extra credits for surprises. We must consider the inflations when we really want to enjoy life when we get old. What we earn now no matter how big it might be, could just be enough when our time to retire comes. Focusing on this plan would require intensive process and wise planning for years. Many people know that taking this plan seriously means being persistent with the process as well. Managing a retirement is a continuous obligation even until it is already attainable. It would require the planner's patience and wise management.

It would be a waste someday during our non working days to live a life that we cannot enjoy because we don't have enough savings. We all know how hard and tedious it is to work tirelessly. We need to have a vision of ourselves harvesting the fruits of our labors. Having a pleasurable vision of our retired selves on how we will live our lives someday could help us pursue and endure our tasks. If we think of it thoroughly, it's not only us that would benefit from succeeding the plan, most especially our children. All we need are inspirations that would give reachable advantages to us.

All these things would look and sound challenging but there are financial planners that could assist you in achieving your plans. These professionals can prepare financial planning for folks covering various features of personal finance. It is indeed hard to manage all these things by ourselves since we are also busy working and dealing with other concerns in our lives. Good thing that there are experts that can show us the pros and cons within our plans and make adjustments to fit our needs. They determine all our financial goals by listening to our priorities and purposes in life as well as the other essential factors of our personal lives to aid us in obtaining what we desire in the future.

Retirement Planning is a Family Affair.Even if one spouse normally takes care of the retirement investments both need to be in a position to take charge of them. This means both spouses need basic information that can let them take over the investments and funds at a moments' notice. This information includes:The names and contact information for all of the professionals used including retirement planners, financial advisors, insurance agents, brokers, accountants, tax preparers and attorneys.

The basic information for all your bank, brokerage, retirement and other financial and investment accounts. This includes the name of the institution, the institution's contact information, the account numbers, passwords and user names for online account access and the addresses of any websites used to access or monitor the accounts.The location of all paperwork related to retirement planning including wills, legal documents, insurance policies, annuity policies, prospectuses, checkbooks, etc.How to access all of the investment and bank accounts. If you have an IRA, 401k, money market account, brokerage account or CD both spouses should know how to access it and withdraw money. If you have a life insurance policy with cash value both spouses should know how to access it and borrow money.

Is amazing how many questions a retirement planning consultant, or financial planner must ask these days to comply with all the federal and state requirements. There are what they call; "know your customer laws," and therefore the practitioner must ask all the questions and fill out all the forms. Then there are the questions that the retirement customer asks. Sometimes they are silly things such as; "should I be buying gold?"Another challenge that retirement planners and financial consultants must deal with is that they generally work for a larger firm that also has rules to stay out of hot water with the SEC and consumer protection agencies. Often this can get in the way of asset allocation when a given client wants to play it safe for their retirement, and then gets some wild hair up their rear end to go and make a silly and non-prudent financial investment decision on their own.

Both of you should have the legal right to access the accounts. Read all of the documentation and make sure this is the case. If not get it changed so it will not be a hassle later on.If you are not married you should check with an attorney to see what your rights are in your state. The law can vary widely from state to state and some states may not recognize some living arrangements. Something to be aware of is that relatives could try to claim they have legal powers over your partner or his money if there is no formal legal marriage. It may pay to get married or set up a legal arrangement such as a domestic partnership to protect your rights.

Break The Fear Of Public Speaking

By Margaret R. Ferguson


Fear of public speaking -- it's more widespread than we suspect. My daughter, in fact, was an A student in college whose last required class was public speaking. She was so anxious about facing an audience she called me to say, "I may have to drop out of college; I just can't do this dad. Public speaking makes me physically ill."

You are not alone. Speaking in public is truly scary for most people, including many whom outwardly seem very composed. Our brain shuts down normal functions as the 'fight or flight' impulse takes over.Presentations skills and public speaking skills are very useful in many aspects of work and life. Effective presentations and public speaking skills are important in business, sales and selling, training, teaching, lecturing and generally entertaining an audience.

Therefore, improving the confidence and capability to give good presentations, and to stand up in front of an audience and speak well, are also tremendously helpful competencies for self-development too.Presentations and public speaking skills are not limited to specially gifted people - anyone can give a good presentation, or perform public speaking professionally and impressively. Like most things, it simply takes a preparation and practice to improve your skills and abilities.

By the time Byron finished, he had literally torn off strip after strip of the notes he'd brought to the front of the class and eaten it strip by strip. By the time he finished his speech his digestive tract was busy digesting the paper he'd written on. Of course with each strip he'd torn, wadded up, placed in his mouth and swallowed, Byron became more flustered because he was trying to do was read his speech and, of course, the words were disappearing and he ended up, at the end, with nothing to read from. I'm sorry to say none of us were able to contain our laughter although to see the school tough guy go through the agonies of delivering "a few words" about himself were, frankly, satisfying. He didn't seem like such a tough guy by the time he fidgeted back to his seat.

On another occasion a few years later I was a member of a public speaking club that met weekly. We used up a lot of time that night discussing our annual party for spouses and friends we wanted to invite. The discussion finally came down to what beverages would be served. Coffee, of course, was on the agenda and why it took over a half hour merely to discuss coffee I'm about to tell you because what happened is another of those unforgettable images etched in my mind thanks to Mr. O.For nearly fifteen minutes he gave an impassioned speech about why we needed to rent special coffee urinals, instead of urns, and yes our budget was tight, but he felt so strongly that we needed to splurge and rent coffee urinals that well, we were laughing so hard, we let him go on and on about coffee urinals longer than decorum should have permitted. My ribs ached for a week and we're lucky no one laughed so hard an emergency vehicle had to be called to cart them off to the emergency room of the nearby local hospital.

Despite the terror you experience in front of an audience you can become a confident public speaker. You can experience the same freedom and normalcy that you feel when talking to your friends in front of an audience. So please, my friend, do not miss out of life or suffer a life of ruin because of fear of public speaking. There is no joy there.The fear of public speaking is one of life's most stressful experiences. It is not uncommon for people to be utterly terrified of public speaking to a crowd. A number of individuals would rather fall dead than walk up on a stage and address a gathering. In fact, it needn't even be a gathering. For some people, even the concept of a thousand people being able to hear or see them speak, either by means of the radio or through television, can make them break out in a cold sweat.

What helped me shake my nervousness was a statement made by Dale Carnegie to the effect that, in the old days, when messages were delivered by telegrams, people who received the telegram were far more interested in the MESSAGE than they were the guy who delivered it. In other words, get your mind off yourself and onto your message, he indicated, and you will see giving a speech isn't about you.Speaking about you, however, I can tell you that as your audience we want you to succeed. Those frightfully embarrassing moments when you're shaking, your face is flushed, you don't know what to do with your hands, you're fidgeting, we are having a difficult time watching you suffer. You have, in effect, distracted us from what you have to say and made the speech more about yourself, and that always makes an audience feel uneasy.

Here are a few public speaking tips, and only a few of many, I've picked up throughout the years. There are basically four parts to a speech:The introduction. It should be tailored to the audience you're facing and each audience, in different cities, will not be the same as the one you've just spoken to. Your task is to create interest, from the beginning, so your audience will want to listen to what you're about to say. Your introductory remarks can help you establish a common ground with them and to, hopefully, gain their favor.Your specific purpose statement,short, sweet, brief; it's the road sign that tells your audience what this speech is about and why you're giving it. Like the center beam of a home, your specific purpose statement should be firmly planted and from it you build a logical framework for the central structure or body of your speech that's yet to come. Your specific purpose statement is designed "to build a bridge from the heart of your purpose to the little island of your audience's interests," is the way a writer once phrased it.

Have some cough lollies to warm and moisten your throat. When drinking before a speech: don't eat or drink dairy products; it often clogs up your voice. Drink only water at room temperature, it's better for your voice than cold water. And.don't try to calm your nerves with alcohol!Never apologise. Don't worry about missing a point - move on. The audience does not know what you have prepared and will not miss it. If they do, make light of it (laugh at your self) and correct it.Focus/concentrate on your message or idea- not how you communicate it. Don't start to think about the lady who is yawning. JRemember how you sometimes yawn even though you are interested and listening to a speaker.Remember: the audience is on your side. They want you to succeed. They want to enjoy themselves. All you have to do is DO IT!

The conclusion of your speech is not synonymous with the fact you've stopped talking. Here it's your job to wrap up and sell your presentation with a conclusion like an archer who sends the arrow directly into the center of the target he or she is aiming at, that center being your audience's interests.I don't know who first said it but I'm sure my former college speech teacher read this somewhere before imparting its wisdom to his freshman public speaking class and the statement goes like this:Public speakers are known by their entrances and exits!

Advice For Those New To Web Page Hosting

By Lee Smith


Even though most people have heard of website hosting, they do not know what it means. A web host will provide you with the use of their server, allowing you to create a website, and maintain it there. The following article will answer many other questions you may have about hosting, and how it can work best for you.

When you are deciding upon a web host service to retain, make sure you have more than only two options on your shortlist. If you only choose between two or three, you won't really be exploring the possibilities, leading to a potentially negative outcome.

Find more than several recommendations that appeal to you when you are choosing a host service. If you only find a few, you don't actually have a good basis for making a decision. For example, the two people offering reviews may have very different levels of technical expertise or other background.

When searching for the perfect web hosting service to accommodate your needs, always ask about what type of security measures they have. Your website will potentially be under constant threat and attack from unscrupulous individuals and malicious viruses. Verify that your selected web host has implemented security measures, which can effectively handle denial-of-service attacks, as well as many other common threats. You should inquire about the potential hazards to your site if the host is under attack.

Choose a website hosting service, which provides detailed information about your website, such as the number of visitors you receive and how long they stay on your site. A good way to double-check the traffic numbers provided by your hosting service is to install a visitor counter on your landing page. When you run an online business, this data will help you customize your strategy in reaching out to your audience.

Don't select a hosting service that has enough space for you right now; select one that gives you room to grow. If you should decide to add videos, pictures, or sound to your site, then your space needs might just quickly add up. In most cases, 100 megabytes is sufficient to allow for extensive development of your website.

Research a bit online about the host you're interested in before you actually sign up after reading any of the host's promotional material. Search for customer reviews of the host offered by independent websites to get a better idea of how good the host actually is. These reviews will give you a far better idea of how the provider truly performs.

Want a website that's safe? It may be worth getting a certificate for a server that's secure. Visitors to your site will be informed that it is a secure site and will feel more comfortable making a purchase and entering personal information.

Reputation is a vital asset for a good web host. Look for articles or reviews on potential web hosts. You want to choose a host with a good reputation that is well-known and well-supported. Companies that do not do enough for their customers should be easily found out.

As you have seen, choosing the ideal web host for your site does not have to be an onerous task. By knowing just a few of the basics, finding a good web host will not be too hard. Use this article's tips to find the best web host for your website.

Learn To Sing Within Your Range

By Sergio S. Brooks


Learn to sing high notes and astonish your friends! Shatter the stemware!I wonder if they are floated by the same people who promise you can learn to speak French by 3:30 this afternoon. Or build an Olympic body in just five minutes a day. Does anybody really need to shatter glass? If there is a need to break glass, wouldn't it be easier to use a hammer rather than a singer? Yes, of course I realize that breaking glass is considered to be a sign of robust vocal prowess. But it is just this sort of thing that moves music out of the realm of human expression and onto the slippery slope of carnie gimmicks.

The first thing to do in order to learn is to learn how to breathe in the proper fashion. Many people develop wrong breathing habits as a result of a lazy lifestyle, this result in shallow breathing and not utilizing the lungs to their maximum capacity, lack of oxygen throughout the body can make the person more lazy and lethargic. Hence regularly practice breathing exercises to strengthen the lungs and vocal chords. The right method of breathing involves the stomach going in and out and the chest remaining still. Along with breathing exercises, one has to practice the right posture exercises as well in order to stand in a manner that lets the diaphragm expand to its capacity and back.

If you continually try to wow the audience with over-the-top high notes and meaningless melismas (the singing of a group of moving notes on one syllable) all their attention may be centered on waiting for that next glass-breaking high note rather than focused on the bond you could be building with them through the words of your song and the emotional tones and rhythms of your voice.

Never Stop Singing.That's right, practice every single day! If you want to learn to sing opera, you're going to need dedication. It may seem difficult in the beginning, but with some effort and real hard work you'll be so proud of how far you've come.Remember, it isn't easy to learn to sing opera. You'll need to train your voice to work in ways you may not be used to. Always remember to warm up your voice before you start your practice, and never give up.

Hitting the high notes with ease is important to a singer's development, after all, few people are waiting breathlessly to see if the singer will hit the middle note. But, a singer will do best if he or she were to strive to hit the high notes within their personal vocal range and do it well, rather than to squeak out higher high notes that lie beyond their natural range and execute them poorly.

Nashville vocal coach Renee Grant-Williams helped make stars out of many top artists: Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Dixie Chicks, Miley Cyrus, Huey Lewis, Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, Jason Aldean, Christina Aguilera...Singing is one of life's real joys and can be the source of immense pleasure and satisfaction for singer and listener alike. With the popularity of shows such as X Factor around, more and more people are giving it a shot. However, it seems to me that the vast majority don't consider for one minute that singing incorrectly can in fact cause long term damage to your voice. So if you want to sing, where should you start?

Of course, the great thing about singing is, there is no better feeling than having a break through moment. That one day when something you've been struggling with clicks, can motivate you for many months to come, just from seeing the possibilities. If you want to learn to sing, commit to it.Decide On a Method.Once you've decided that you're ready to get serious, you need to decide on a method. What's the best way to learn how to sing? Here is where things can get overwhelming quickly. The answer will depend on a number of things.What can you afford to invest in the learning process? How do you learn best? Are you the shy type? Do you need someone to keep you accountable? These are the types of questions you should ask yourself, to make the decision process easier.If money is not an issue and you have no social phobias, maybe hiring a personal vocal coach is the answer. This will undoubtedly be the most expensive option, but also the most tailored to your needs and capabilities. You may find it easier to stay motivated as well, knowing that you may be held accountable for your actions by your coach.

For many people, learning to sing can be incredibly frustrating. It is rare to find somebody who naturally knows how to sing correctly. It is therefore paramount that you obtain quality, proven teaching materials when you begin so that you set off in the right direction. Undoing bad habits later is difficult to do.

In fact, while learning the fundamentals, you should be prepared for the probability that you may not sing at all. What you will be doing is vocalizing. This entails lots of sounds, (but not necessarily words), and scales as opposed to melodies. Although not as sexy or fun as belting out your favorite song, it is a necessary part of the process to learn in order to train your voice properly.

Be consistent.Along with practice comes consistency. To really speed up the process and develop a strong foundation, developing a consistent routine is highly encouraged. The goal of learning the fundamentals is so that they become second nature to you, and you no longer have to consciously think about them.You do this by being consistent. Eventually, the things that required a lot of mental effort in the beginning will become natural. You will develop muscle memory and find that singing becomes much more effortless. This is the ideal way to sing.

One you reach the point where you no longer have to think about singing properly and your body adjusts and naturally performs its necessary functions automatically, you can begin to focus on the fun stuff.Be Persistent.Lastly, it is important to be persistent, and don't give up. It won't always be fun, and at times it may feel like the last thing you want to do, but if you stick with the practice routines, and continue to put in the work, it will pay off. Remember what you are trying to achieve, and try to find the motivation to stay the course and stay focused.Being able to sing well is one of the most rewarding and personally satisfying experiences a music lover can have, and virtually anyone can do it. Just remember, there are no shortcuts to mastering anything. It is a process. Now that you understand the process and know how to learn to sing, the next step is to actually get out there and do it.

How To Feel Better In Fifteen Minutes

By Maria M. Moller


Do you feel less healthy than you'd like? Do you have health issues that don't want to go away no matter what you do to try to alleviate them?Have you been to doctors, only to have them tell you there's nothing wrong with you?Health is not the absence of disease. It is a state of well being in body, mind and spirit. When you are truly healthy, you'll feel a zest for living, an abundance of energy to get up and go do the things you love to do. Anything less is not real health.

What makes it challenging when you go to the doctor not feeling well and you're told there's nothing wrong with you is that you know there is something wrong, but the tests just aren't picking it up.You see, there isn't a distinct line between health and disease. In most cases, it's a gradual process. You don't go from healthy to having a disease overnight, unless you came in contact with something that causes an immediate reaction. Most of the time, there are shades of gray where you're not healthy, but you're not sick enough for the tests medical science has available to detect it.

Now just think about these things, who you are as a person and what you have to be grateful for and you should begin to feel a heck of a lot better. There is always a way out, you just need to believe in it. Do not beat yourself up over what you haven't done just give yourself credit for what you have done. Don't ponder of what you haven't got, be grateful for what you have and I assure you, you will start to feel a whole lot better.

Norma was extremely fatigued. Frequently, when she came home from work, she would lie down and take a nap.She also had indigestion. It was so bad that she couldn't sleep the night through no matter how tired she was. It would keep her awake for hours every night. It's no wonder she was so tired all the time. On top of that, she was bothered by constant sinus drainage and twitching of her eyelids. Her right eye wouldn't remain open completely.

If you'd prefer something more portable, mix up a smoothie using silken tofu and various fruits.If you're a light eater in the morning, at least have some peanut butter on whole grain toast.The important thing is to get a dose of nutrition to get your metabolism in gear and make you feel better all day long.Stretch and Relax.Mornings are a great time to stretch your muscles and prepare yourself to deal with the stress you will encounter during the day.You can do stretching and relaxation exercises before you get out of bed, or after you eat breakfast.Sit down in lotus position and gently stretch your arms, hips, and back. Do head and shoulder rolls to relieve any tension that built up overnight. Then straighten your legs and stretch them one at a time.Return to lotus position and close your eyes. Feel your stress draining away along with the muscle tension. Breathe deeply, and hold each breath for a count of five.Do this for five minutes while you visualize the tasks you would like to achieve that day.Get Hydrated.Once you're ready to head out the door, grab some drinking water to take with you. Most of us go through our days in a state of mild dehydration. Medications and health conditions can make dehydration even worse.

How does this work? When you have food sensitivities, your body is unable to completely digest the foods to which you are sensitive. The partially digested foods pass into your bloodstream and your immune system treats them as foreign invaders, like bacteria and viruses. It attacks them, causing an inflammatory reaction. As long as you continue to eat foods to which you are sensitive, you will continue to cause more and more inflammation to develop in your body and your health will decline.

It doesn't matter if the foods to which you are sensitive are "healthy" foods. They're not healthy for you. You can be sensitive to any food. For example, some of my sensitive foods are salmon, trout, grapefruit, kiwi, papaya, pineapple, red leaf and romaine lettuce, potatoes, gluten, whey and more.

The most frustrating part of food sensitivities is that most people don't know they have them because the reaction to the food occurs anywhere from three hours to three days after eating it. The symptoms they cause can be almost anything. The most common are digestive problems, headaches, migraines, joint pain and stiffness, arthritis, chronic fatigue, skin disorders, ADD/ADHD and more.

Give yourself to others. Volunteer for social work. Feed an orphan, clean up your neighborhood, and help the environment. Nothing fattens the heart than being able to do well to your fellowmen. Volunteerism enables you to exercise your body and mind, as well as allow you to practice generosity and love for mankind. Loving others make you love your self more, as you acquire self confidence and enhances your self-esteem and self-worth. As an added bonus, volunteerism will give you the chance to meet like-minded individuals who can increase your network of friends. They can be your support group, and if they are as good friends are they are, can be pillars of support when the going gets rough for you.Treat yourself to a makeover once in a while. You deserve it. Not that you need to look better, but it is always advantageous to pamper yourself. Go to the spa. Have a facial. Indulge in a Thai massage. Going out of the spa, you can really feel yourself spic and span, smart-looking and confident. The way you look contributes to how you feel about yourself, therefore, look your best.Make time for yourself. Meditate. Open your thoughts in an environment of calm and serenity. Go climb a mountain. Pray. However you do it, talking to yourself allows you to keep in touch with your inner thoughts. You will discover a lot about yourself that way, and that is always a good thing.Introspection also allows you to plan ahead in your life. So, free from distractions and the chaos of the everyday world, you can chart your destiny in life. And having a plan, having a course to set would enable you to be more successful in your life. And success, my friend, makes you feel better about your self, because it is an affirmation of what you are and what you are capable of doing.Above all, love yourself. There is no greater love than loving yourself, because you cannot give what you do not have. So, if one is filled with love, you can be generous in giving out love. That is the best way to feel good about yourself.

Success In Life And How To Achieve It

By Sharon S. Fast


Have you ever wondered why some people seem to gain success in life while others seem to fail? What separates successes from failures? And, how can you achieve success in your own life? One of the biggest distinguishing factors between a successful life and a non-successful life lies within you. By shifting your mindset and then some of your daily habits, you can begin to get success in your own life. No matter what you are doing in your life, the following tips are the basic ingredients that are essential and are absolutely within your own sphere of behavior that will give you a guarantee towards attaining success.

How Can I Get Success in Life? To begin the journey toward achieving a life filled with success, consider the following strategies: Adopt a Positive Mindset - Too many of our daily thoughts are negative and self-defeating. While you can never truly remove all negative thoughts from your mindset, you can begin to consciously focus on positive thoughts versus negative. Work to become aware of your thoughts and when you come across a negative one, shift your thinking to something positive. In time, this conscious behavior will result in positive subconscious changes.Assume Responsibility - Avoid placing blame on others or circumstances for your position in life. Accept responsibility for your actions. What we attract into our lives is a direct result of our mindset, our thoughts and our beliefs. Choose to think positive thoughts versus negative ones; shift your mindset to one of abundance and opportunity rather than failure and lack of opportunity and begin believing that you deserve as much success as the next person.

There is no substitute for diligence. You can attend multitudes of conferences and listen to all the subject matter experts you want to, but if you persist to be lazy, you don't have what it takes to become a success in life (sorry about being so brutally honest). You may be a person of faith and you can pray to God for success all night long, but if you have lazy hands, you are destined for failure.

Stay focused. I want to stress this point as many people start out very enthusiastic and then lose their momentum. To achieve success in any area you need to stay focused on your goals and pursue them with tenacity.Learn from people who have achieved what you desire. Learn from the best but never compromise what you desire.Work at your goal. If what you are going for is really worth it then you will not mind working hard for it. If the effort needed to achieve your goals to be successful does not excite you then you need to ask yourself the question is this goal for you or are you trying to please somebody else.

Follow your dreams and build your foundations. You have dreams and these dreams are significant of what you want to accomplish in the near future. If you already have set up your goals, then you can definitely picture what your future is, now you need to build foundations, and these foundations should be strong enough to keep you going with no hesitations.Get out from your comfort zone. Those who aim to achieve the best of what they can be, should get out from their comfort zone. Whereas, to succeed in life you need to improve and grow, you would not be able to do this while you are in that crib. Get my point?

Some people are amazingly nave about life. They seem to think that success in life is happenstance. But this is an extremely competitive world in which we live. Even finding your so-called dream job these days is much harder than it used to be. Regardless of your aspirations, however, you can become a success in life. It's called being diligent: doing what's required to gain the competitive edge; never giving up; refusing to accept defeat; living a life of integrity.

Understanding The Laws Of Success

By Troy S. Dutton


GOD wanted every individual to succeed. Its the Lord's intent that person should become fantastic. It is God's will that man should not only advantage, but enjoy with every pleasant thing in the universe. The law of success and the universal laws of God present human being the whole thing.

A human is born to be powerful. The inborn in him are vast. Each standard human being is provided with a entire set of faculties which, if accurately utilized and exactly used, will assure victory, a mounting victory. Man is formed for improvement. Every human being has within himself the faculty for unending development. Development into everything is the universal law's impressive intention. By finding out how to do with the Law of success in promoting that objective, man may build himself into better and greater success.

It is one of the few things in life that we can't do without active thinking. There are certain things that we perform without thinking, especially when we are on autopilot. When is the last time you got home from work and had no clue which route you took to get there. When we get into our car, it is like the car has a mind of its own. It is imperative that a book and pen is used to record and review your goals and dreams.

Planting the Seed The farmer plants the seed of the crop he wishes to harvest. He does not plant corn seed to get a harvest of wheat. So, too, a person must plant the seeds of what he wishes to gain. This is where goal setting comes into the process. The person needs to decide what his goals are, and then create a plan for reaching those goals, so that he can plant the right seed for the desired harvest of success. A person wishing financial success must plant financial seeds, whether these be investments made or skills learned. The person must understand how the seeds being planted will grow to the desired harvest.

I was unforgiving to myself in not reaching it earlier. You have a better chance of reaching your goals and dreams when your mind is right. When you are writing your goals and you feel good about them, then you are more likely to achieve them. If you don't have a good feeling as you write them, then you should review them and change them. The more your mind accepts your goals and dreams the better chance that you to achieve them.

The daily regimen of reading your goals is the final ingredient in allowing your definite chief aim to saturate your subconscious mind. This acceptance of your chief aim by the subconscious mind will dominate your activities in your life. Napoleon Hill equates this level of achievement very similar to auto-suggestion. Napoleon Hill as it is written in "Think and Grow Rich" believes that "so as a man thinketh so is he".

Tips For Overcoming Shyness And Social Anxiety

By Monica B. Nice


Getting rid of your shyness may seem impossible but with a little effort and the desire to be more outgoing with the opposite sex then you can definitely overcome shyness. It is important to know that the fears you feel when shyness hits you is typically always much worse than the reality of the situation. Fake it until you make it! This is an infamous saying in the sales world.It is a great way to start teaching yourself new behavioral habits.

Ask yourself why you are shy. Be honest with yourself. What are your real fears? What do you think people see when they talk with you? Yes, this will take effort on your part by reading books on the subject or listening to motivational tapes, but it works!

5 Ways To Overcome Shyness,Some of the components of shyness are lack of self-confidence and anxiety around others, difficulty carrying on a conversation, and a lack of knowledge about the expected behavior in social situations.Shy people can be very intimidated by people in general. Learning how to overcome shyness may seem like an insurmountable task, but help is available to you through several sources.

You must first determine why you are shy. There are always underlying reasons for the way a person reacts in certain situations.Next, try behaving in a confident manner in private and practice until you begin to see results in public.

By changing your perception of shyness instead of having a negative attachment to the word, you will then help re-create your outlook on it.Learn to take risks. How many times did you just want to go up to someone and tell them how beautiful they were, or how impressed they were. As a daily exercise do this: Each day of the week go up to a total stranger and say something nice. It could be something as innocent as complimenting a pretty girl on her hair or a guy with his shirt. Do not worry about the outcome, do not worry about what they say, just do it!

The initial conversation will be much easier since you'll already have a topic of conversation that interests you both.If you do not have the confidence to approach someone new, then smile and try to be approachable.

There are numerous resources available to you if you need help overcoming shyness. Professional advice and tips on how to overcome shyness can be very beneficial if you are having difficulty taking that first step.Many individuals have overcome shyness by learning how to communicate better. Now, you can, too! Have you ever stepped into an area full of people who you were not familiar with and felt a bit awkward or self-conscious? Do you experience bouts of anxiety when faced with situations that require you to be social? Are there people you want to talk to or activities that you want to take part in, but hold back due to some unspoken insecurity? If so, you are experiencing shyness. You may be introverted or extraverted. It really does not matter. We all experience bouts of shyness to one degree or another within our lifetime. Did you know that it is possible to successfully engage in overcoming shyness by simply learning how to communicate better? In this guide, you will learn some important facts and strategies that will allow you to eliminate the "shell" that may be holding you back in your personal and professional life.

According to professionals in social psychology, being shy means that an individual experiences apprehension or feelings of discomfort and/or awkwardness when in the same area as others, or when approached by other people. These feelings are often enhanced when in social situations, unfamiliar locations or around people who are unfamiliar. While it is common for everyone to experience shyness at least once in their life to a small degree, many individuals experience it to such a high degree that it results in social anxiety and/or phobias related to social situations, events and experiences. In its most severe forms, individuals that experience shyness may find that it interferes with their personal and professional relationships and hinders them to one degree or another. While many refer to therapy and even anti-anxiety medications to overcome shyness, simply learning to communicate better has also been found to be an effective strategy in overcoming shyness. Not only is this strategy less expensive than therapy and medication, it is also much safer.

Never run away from what it is that is making you uncomfortable,When you leave a setting or situation that is making you shy you are basically reinforcing that negative aspect of yourself and making it stronger. Turn these fearful situations into a period where you become the observer and dig into your psyche to find out what it is that is making you react in this way.

In order to communicate better, you must know what the person you are talking to is most interested in. I know this sounds challenging, but it is really quite simple - they are most interested in themselves and what they consider to be important to them. Remember to use the other person's name frequently and ask a lot of questions. Allow the other person to communicate freely and openly about what they want to express to you. Remember to listen and place the emphasis on the person that you are speaking to. By taking these steps, you are taking the pressure and focus off of yourself and inadvertently placing it on them - which should increase your self-confidence and motivation. This will make you an attractive person to talk to and interact with. Overcoming shyness does not have to be a challenging endeavor. Simply take the focus away from your negative thoughts about yourself and your insecurities and place it on the person you are talking with. It is then that you will truly start to communicate better.

The Law Of Attraction - The Secret To Successful Life

By Josie Uitendaal


Movies such as "The Secret" and "What the Bleep Do We Know" have attempted to teach people about the power of the mind and thoughts. Many have seen these movies, read the latest books on the "law of attraction," and attended seminars on manifesting and positive thought techniques. Yet, not many have actually been able to successfully make the law of attraction work for them.For most people, success has been far and few between. Why is that? What is the missing link for manifesting what we deeply desire? Becoming aware of your limiting thoughts is crucial, yet it is not enough. Just thinking and affirming positive thoughts will not enable you to consistently achieve your goals. You will need to go further.Ancient wisdom teaches that to achieve extraordinary results in life we must build up our energy, our inner power. Success in all areas of our lives---financial, business and personal, is not a result of education, social status or anything out there. It comes about through using our mind in a certain way and expanding our awareness.

Does the law of attraction mean the Universe will shower us with any amount of good things if we expect it to? Maybe, but I believe it is our attitude that helps us see the opportunities because we are looking for them. The same thing can happen to different people, such as receiving an envelope in the mail: one person will see it as a bad thing and may be frightened to open it while another will be eager see the contents as it may contain another opportunity.

In contrast to beta, the mind level states of alpha, theta and delta, are associated with states of relaxation such as meditation. As you access deeper levels of your mind, you can more easily connect with a higher force that is greater than you. These mind states are not restrictive but rather very expansive. They help to expand your awareness beyond ordinary consciousness.As you go deeper within into higher mind states, such as theta, you can connect with a higher force, to Infinite Intelligence or what some people refer to as the mind of God. As your connection with Infinite Intelligence becomes stronger, you become more empowered gaining insights, guidance and abilities that were formerly outside of your reach. Then, you will be in a much more empowered position to make the Law Of Attraction work for you and make changes happen in your life for the better.

It is not important to remember the details of the different mind states. The important point is to become aware that you can use the powers of these deeper levels of your mind to create a better world for yourself and for others.Ancient wisdom teachers, such as shamans and alchemists, teach that we are part physical and part spiritual beings. In other words, each of us has a spiritual counterpart. We all have a Higher Self, a higher force that always is trying to help us evolve and grow our personal power. It is through our higher selves that we get the guidance we need to live deeply happy lives, to make wise financial decisions, to heal our bodies, to choose partners for our highest good and to get insights on difficult life decisions.

In utilizing the law of attraction, you have the choice and consciously choose to think positively or negatively. If you remain positive you will attract good situations, but if you are negative you will attract despair. By being in positive state and ready to receive, you will automatically behave and act to change your environment to correspond to your desires. As outlined in the Secret, such law of attraction techniques will assist you in communicating positive vibrations to the universe. Above all, never ever give up trying to incorporate the law of attraction into your life to your advantage, and your circumstances will respond to you with your persistence.Many scientists and theorists from across the globe have come to the conclusion that everything is regulated and governed by a set of universal laws such as the law of cause and effect and the law of gravity.

These laws are set in stone so to speak and cannot be changed or altered in anyway, they apply to everyone and everything and are always at work whether we are aware of it or not.Among these universal laws is the law of attraction which states that we can attract that which we desire into our lives through the power of our thoughts and quite literally become the masters of our own destiny, or as Napolean Hill once quoted the "the captains of our souls".In essence the law of attraction attracts to you that which you desire most and that which you focus your thoughts on most!

But on the other hand, you likely have this deep feeling that a desire for money is evil. That rich people have somehow taken advantage of somebody, somewhere along the way. That they are somehow dishonest. After all, doesn't the Bible teach that the love of money is the root of all evil?Well, let's take a look at this from an economic perspective. Forget about morality or religion or anything like that. Let's just take a look at the basic mechanics of money and human action.

Many people associate the law of attraction with new age movements and similar practices, unfortunately modern media and uneducated bloggers and such like haven't helped matters!It's important to understand that the law of attraction was referenced long before any new age movement and even before western civilization had even gotten wind of any of the universal laws.To the best of my knowledge and knowledge of others it is said that the Buddha had been the first to really introduce mankind to the underlying principles of the law of attraction, although never directly referred to as such.

Likewise, the person selling you the hamburger would rather have the dollar. Before the exchange, you have a dollar, but you want a hamburger. He or she has a hamburger but would rather have the dollar. After the exchange you are both better off.This is true for every single exchange you can make. Working for an employer, making an investment, selling stuff at a garage sale, selling stuff on eBay, or selling your services from home as a writer.

There's simply now way for you to get any money at all unless you are giving somebody something that they want more than they the money.On the one hand, it's completely selfish to want more money so you can buy stuff for yourself and live an easy life. But on the other hand, and this is crucial, it's impossible to get that money unless you make people better off than they were before.So every single dollar that you have is a measure of how much better off you've made other people. The more money you have, the more people you've made better off. The more you've increased the net happiness of the world. Is that really selfish? Of course not.That's why Napoleon Hill, in "Think And Grow Rich," suggested that when doing any kind of money making visualizations, to visualize tons of people out there getting their needs met because of your actions. Because when lots of people out there are getting their needs met, you are getting paid.

Learn How To Reiki With Online Reiki Courses

By Kenneth L. Johnson


To Learn Reiki with online Reiki Courses is a new concept and one which challenges and divides the beliefs of Reiki Masters. Some Reiki masters believe that one must attend a class and be receive the sacred Reiki attunement in person whilst other masters believe one can be successfully attuned via distance attunement or even attune yourself to the energies of Reiki.

Western Reiki started out the same way, with masters charging huge sums (up to $10,000) for master training. In the early part of the last century, even Western Reiki was surrounded by secrecy and mystery.So much so that there is now debate about how exactly to draw the symbols! Students had to commit them to memory and not write them down. Inevitable, different versions were remembered by different people, and we now have the strange phenomenon whereby different groups are claiming that their version of the symbols is the authentic and original version! Totally ridiculous!

However, Western Reiki has opened up over the past fifteen to twenty years. This has been party driven by great demand for Reiki classes which the old way couldn't deal with in terms of keeping up with demand.Traditional masters and the more progressive ones agree on a number of things. First, the most important element of Reiki training is the quality of the master who is doing the training. Second, energy and healing power can be transmitted remotely with the proper training and experience.

The Masters are very aware of this fact, and they see many low quality courses providing how to Reiki training, both on the web and in person. This was the motivation for why certain of the hugely qualified Masters devised online Reiki courses as a result of their annoyance - to make sure that everybody had equal chance! Instead of only those nearby,The only thing you need to always remember is that you must make sure that your Master possesses the experience and pedigree. With those elements in place, you are assured of the best training and you will get maximum benefit, with all the convenience and flexibility of online learning!Reiki is a way any individual can become a conduit of a very high, pure, loving form of "chi," "prana," universal life force energy, or some just call it, energy of the divine. Here in Washington State, more and more individuals are becoming "attuned" to Reiki through Reiki classes, Reiki workshops, and then joining in on Reiki circles (explained below).

Many people attribute the rise in interest in Reiki as a sign of a coming golden age in the form of the many finding their inner Christ and doing just as Jesus predicted, the common people will "do all that I have done, and even greater things." For example, after Reiki classes I've seen in Washington State and after becoming attuned to Reiki, many have found themselves healing injuries, healing broken hearts, and healing illnesses by the laying on of hands. By doing this, they are not seeing themselves as "miniature gods" as the misinformed sometimes accuse them, but rather, as even better servants of one universal God or Higher Intelligence that we all belong to, of which, within, all hold a spark. By becoming attuned to Reiki, many feel they are finding a more direct personal path to the higher realms, rather than relying on mediums such as clergy to be the channel for them. All belief systems, from agnostic to Native American, are embracing Reiki. Hospitals are allowing it, and near Washington State in Canada, a Native tribe uses it to enhance their traditional healing modalities.

The word Reiki, if broken down into its root words, means God's Energy and Individual Life Force Energy. Reiki is currently a very popular form of energy healing, here and abroad. This healing practice started in Japan, but it has penetrated the healing practices of the West as well. Reiki practitioners are initiated to it by finishing a series of Reiki classes and by going through a process called "Attunement".

After a Reiki class or workshop and becoming attuned to Reiki, you can use Reiki professionally. As an example, in Washington State, professional massage therapists sometimes add even just Reiki Level I to their menu to let clients know they have been attuned to this higher energy. As ministers or spiritual counselors, you may want to allow any level of Reiki certification to help upgrade your services to others. After enough practice and reaching Reiki Level II or III, you can open a pure Reiki practice, giving sessions to paying clients. In Washington State, there are some simple rules to follow for legally charging money for certain forms of healing, and after this, many of those who complete Reiki workshops or classes enjoy being professional Reiki practitioners.

If you've been wanting to learn to be a Reiki practitioner, consider that Reiki classes and workshops are often best suited for those who can learn both in a group setting, and who are also independent learners, able to do the self-study and follow-up sessions on themselves and others to make use of their Reiki attunements and learning, and become ready for higher levels of Reiki certification if they choose.Watch out for "free Reiki attunements" which lead to more expenses in order to become a Level I practitioner. There's nothing wrong with a free attunement per se, but not if it leads you to thinking you'll be getting a free certification as a Reiki Level I Practitioner. Free attunements do not teach you how to be a practitioner nor what has even been done to you. If you want to achieve status as a Reiki Practitioner at any level, look for something that offers the full package. Usually packages come in three levels of classes for Reiki Level I, Level II and Level III.

The practice of Reiki reduces stress and promotes healing and relaxation. The belief on the laying of hands and that the hands of the master can be instrument of healing has been known in most places. Reiki classes in Greenwich have been considered as conventional medicine because it offers a balance of traditional and complementary therapies to achieve a healthy body, mind and spirit. How the hands are positioned is based on the location of energy centers in the body known as the chakras. It is only the positive energy that surrounds the body, mind, spirit and cellular levels. Its soft and intense treatment works perfectly which can be felt by the patient immediately. It takes the client to its most serene level.

Consider the location. Reiki doesn't have to be given in an exotic location of high energy, even though it can be fun if it is. In Washington State, as in some other states, classes are often offered in someone's home. Some highly priced Reiki workshops (in the thousands of dollars) are offered in exotic locations such as the tropics. For our Reiki workshops in Washington State, for example, when we teach Reiki classes here on Fidalgo Island in Anacortes, Washington State, we teach in a pleasant home atmosphere, but tell our students of the many seaside beaches, pristine forest trails, and island and sparkling water view walks and picnics they can enjoy during their own lunch break or before or after our classes. That way they can enjoy our emerald island setting if they choose, but it doesn't have to be part of the paid Reiki workshop package.

Death By Sugar Addiction

By Masha Kuilboer


Can someone actually die from sugar addiction? Yes. The wave of misinformation has confused many people about the real cause of obesity. Fat is not the main reason that leads to obesity. If that was the case, then why do low-fat diets fail miserably? The real culprit here is sugar!Sugar is hidden in almost everything that we eat. Americans consume 141 pounds of sugar per person a year according to the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture). That's equivalent to half a cup of sugar a day- sugar that your body will probably store as fat since it does not need it.[]

So where exactly is this unneeded sugar found in? Milk, bread, rice, chips, candy bars, soda, fast food, processed foods and the list goes on and on.Milk contains lactose, a sugar that will be stored in your body as fat if you consume too much of it. Cereals, cookies, fast food, processed foods and soda contain high fructose corn syrup, which can be addictive. The more you eat, the harder it is to stop, and when you do stop, prepare to undergo a sugar withdrawal.

Condiments and Dressings.This is the "Sugar Free" age! There are plenty of alternatives to choose from! The only hiccup? Paying five dollars (or more!) for each bottle of sugar-free ketchup or sugar-free mustard! Again, I may resort to making ketchup and mustard myself if I think it's worth the effort.Checking my cupboards, it seems that my favorite instant oatmeal even has sugar already in it-12g to be exact! I cringe when I think of those unsuspecting people who add a little more sugar for added sweetness! In fact, just about everything in my cupboard contains sugar!

Anything that is canned, jarred, bagged, boxed, or stuffed in plastic tubing is processed and contains an insane amount of sugar. Nothing is sacred anymore! Even a cup of my child's breakfast cereal contains 17g of sugar! One cup! Pour some milk on that cereal and the poor child just ingested about 30g of sugar in one meal! That's assuming that the portion size is correct! Most people double-even triple-portion sizes without knowing it which means the amount of sugar consumption doubles or triples as well.

It may take a good week or two to completely remove every item that contains unnatural sugars and replace them with sugar-free alternatives. Most of the time will be spent "window shopping" at my grocery store to get an idea of what is available along with the estimated costs.Going completely sugar free will actually take much effort and planning seeing as how over 70 percent of popular American foods contain sugar. But I believe the effort is worth the end result of being, looking, and feeling healthier. Stay tuned for updates!

But it is. Dramatically. There have been oodles of studies done and the overall message is that diet soda can and does contribute to sugar cravings and to weight gain. As much as if you drank a regular soda! Why you ask? The studies are showing that it will trigger you to eat more calories when you have a diet soda. Here is a typical scenario of what happens:When I use to go through Burger King I would buy a Whopper, french fries, and to cut back on calories, a diet soda. Pretty typical of how we all start to drink the diet rather than the regular. Your body becomes conditioned to look for calories when it gets that sweet taste ( as it does when it gets regular soda or a sweet). So now it triggers you to crave additional calories ( energy) when it has a diet beverage. And thus the vicious cycle begins.Put another way: Your body needs energy to burn, so now it is suddenly not getting it when you drink the diet soda. So your body starts to crave more food, more energy and more calories. And that 0 calorie beverage is creating cravings that cost you more calories in the long run. It's like a furniture store that charges you no interest for the first year but get you big time on the back end and you wind up paying more.

Eating sweets such as cakes, cookies and candy aren't the only way to add a large amount of sugar to your diet. Breads, pastas and snacks made with white flour are processed carbs that turn to sugar in your body. This type of diet can lead to all kinds of illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, digestive problems and even certain cancers. There is also evidence that memory, concentration and focus may be affected.

Sugar dependency is along the same lines as addiction to smoking, gambling or alcohol. Anxiety, depression and phobias are some emotional imbalances that can be connected to sugar addiction. Sugar causes an immediate gratification making the person that's addicted feel like they can't live without it. The down part is that the good feeling doesn't last long. In a short, you go from being energetic to feeling tired. You may have tried to give up sugar because you wanted to lose weight or avoid illnesses. This might trigger the same withdrawal symptoms as some drug addicts experience. Some symptoms are sweating, trembling, weakness and dizziness.

If you need to lose weight, consider a diet plan that focuses on reducing sugar intake. The Sugar Busters Diet Plan is probably the most well known. The idea of this diet is to reduce your intake of sugar and high starch carbohydrates, focusing instead on lean protein, low starch veggies, and whole grain carbs, in order to lose weight. Many of the low GI diets out there use this method, as well.

Water is an important factor in total wellness; it contains many minerals and is needed for good nutrition. Water can help in controlling sugar cravings. Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.Begin your day by eating a balanced breakfast. Make sure you have protein and complex carbohydrates. This will keep up your blood sugar level and lessen your cravings later on in the day. Replace your caffeinated drink with juice or herbal tea. Caffeine will cause your blood sugar to go down.Eat small portions of complex carbohydrates during the day. This will keep your stomach satisfied. Fruits, vegetables, wheat, grains and rice are full of nutrients. You will feel fuller longer because they are assimilated at a slower rate.Think of an enjoyable option when you feel a strong craving for sugar coming on. Listen to your favorite music, work on a craft or do some exercise. It's impossible to give up sugar overnight. Take one step at a time and you will reach your goal.

Phobia Treatment: How To Overcome Your Cynophobia

By Betty K. Heck


Being afraid of dogs isn't something to be taken lightly. Although dogs are supposed to be man's best friend - and although they've been the longest domesticated animal - that doesn't stop you from freezing in your tracks when confronted by a dog. Whether it's a seemingly friendly dog, wagging its tail, or a menacing one baring its teeth. So what can you do to overcome your cynophobia?

Treatment for bridge phobia consists of antidepressant or anti anxiety medications in conjunction with behavioral therapy to teach one coping mechanisms to employ whenever placed into a situation that would trigger the phobia. Another treatment is called desensitization. This works by putting yourself into the situation that triggers your anxiety a little at a time until it stops bothering you, then going a little further.

Exposure treatment has one of the higher success rates but is one of the scarier treatments, at least at first. As the name suggests, it involves exposing you to dogs. Which means that it is best carried out in a controlled environment, ideally with some friendly dogs! Depending on the therapist it could take place in one long session (maybe half a day or more), supported by counselling or over several sessions, spread out over time.Either way, you'll get closer to your new canine friend and will learn that they're not as threatening as you currently think they are. With most dogs the worst you'll experience is a cold nose rubbing against your face, an enthusiastic tongue licking you or muddy paw prints when the dog jumps up to greet you.

Bridge phobia is not an uncommon problem. The good news is that there are ways to get over it without having to limit one's self to one area because crossing a bridge is out of the question. Treatment, therapy, and behavior modification are all available methods of dealing with this or any other phobia.

There are other types of phobia treatment available. Cognitive-behavioral treatments combine the behavioral techniques mentioned above with cognitive techniques that help in identifying and challenging distressing thoughts about the feared objects. This type of treatment is very effective for social phobia since it can be administered in a group setting. Biological treatments are the last type of method. People are prescribed with medicines such as benzodiazepines, monoamine oxidase inhibitors and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors to provide temporary relief, since they cannot extinguish phobias. There are also studies that proved that relapse happens soon after stopping the medication. To sum it up, it eems that behavior therapy, the best method, still involves the adage "confront your fears."

Extremely shy individuals only feel at ease when family members and very close friends are around. However, situations where the people are unfamiliar or if they have to communicate with a group of new individuals are very difficult for them to deal with. Social phobia may get in the way of any individual's life that's why it should be properly dealt with.

A social phobia treatment can consist of three ways,Medications.Medications are usually used to alleviate an anxiety attack symptom but they don't totally cure an individual's social phobia. Some of the most common types of medication used for anxiety attack treatment are beta blockers, antidepressants, and benzodiazepines.

A history of short relationships - he may bolt when he senses you are looking for a commitment. He may be quite satisfied with a long distance relationship and resist suggestions that either of you move to be closer.He will be moody and distant and blame you for his behavior.He refuses to plan ahead because this represents commitment for him.He is evasive and secretive in order to keep you out of his space.He is not willing to socialize with your friends and family for fear this will be construed as commitment.We could go on for pages and pages listing behaviors common to commitment phobics. However one or two of these behaviors in an individual does not make him a candidate for commitment phobia and fear treatment and cure.

You may be wondering what kind of treatment is available for commitment phobia. First the person has to want the help and be willing to work with a therapist.The therapist or counselor needs the determine whether or not the person truly is a commitment phobic or if there is some other personality disorder present. If it is determined that the person truly has a commitment phobia, then the therapist and her client need to work on uncovering what triggered the problem.

Word of mouth is still the most reliable form of recommendation.An orthodontist like those in Brentwood or Hornchurch, or professionals in the dental practice in Brentwood can now perform modern pain-free cosmetic dentistry procedures in Essex to help patients feel at ease. Dental fear varies on different levels. Some patients would be slightly nervous while others suffer from severe phobia. Learn to open up to your cosmetic dentist. Talk to your dentist and express your fears. If you will not conquer your dental phobia, you will never get that smile makeover in Essex that you only dream of.

6 Reasons To Become A Reiki Master

By Esme Chau


Since I discovered Reiki over 12 years ago, my life has changed in so many ways, and Gandhi's statement resonates deeply with me.As you walk the Reiki path, and follow the principles of Reiki, you begin to have a much deeper understanding about the meaning and purpose of life.Just for Today is a key message in Reiki, and as you bring yourself to this present moment, you begin to realise that this is all there is! The past has already gone and the future has not been created.

You only have this moment, and it is what you do with this moment that determines your future.Your own life speaks volumes about you and about your thoughts and actions.Is your life happy, peaceful and filled with love and gratitude? Do you see the beauty in nature as you walk in the parks, sit on the beach, and watch the stars? Are you able to sit in silence and peace with yourself?

No, you should only do Master Level if you have a serious desire to learn skills that can change both the world - and YOU!Before I go onto some of these reasons, I'd like to add that learning to attune others to Reiki doesn't necessarily mean doing so in a professional environment.One of the most important things you can do with Reiki is attune your friends and family.Of these, you might pay particular attention to your children (or even nieces, nephews and the like), because just imagine how big an impact Reiki might make to their lives if they learnt it young, if it were second nature to heal with it, if, by the time they are your age, they had already been practising with it for 15, 20, 30 or more years!Reiki ought to be taught in schools; but until it is, you need to fill the gap - a gap made bigger by the age restrictions many Reiki associations place on course participants.Learn to Better Heal Yourself and Others,A lot of Master Level courses are divided up into two parts: A and B. Part A teachesskills to enhance personal practice, part B the teaching components.Whether the course is divided or not (I, personally, teach both parts together), Master Level should supply you with skills you can practise and develop for years to come. Skills that will profoundly shift the way you experience Reiki.

you will be able to ask questions and you will meet other people who share your interest and your attunements to each level of reiki are carried out by the reiki master during the course.Reiki can also be studied at home with a distance learning course.There is an audio course available where the Reiki Master talks you through each section of the you reiki training.....and also provided you with written materials, self healing MP3s, diagrams and practice sessions. You also receive distance attunements to each level of Reiki and Certificates for each level.

Starting Your Reiki Training.The main point is that you can become a reiki master. The decision is which route you want to take.I took the home study option, simply because it fitted in with my life better and the cost was much less.And I have to say that I am very happy with the training I received. The course has excellent email support and friends who took the other option of the weekend class have told me that there is much more information in the distance learning package.And of course I have all of the talks in MP3 format so I can listen to them again if I feel there is something I missed the first time through.The main thing is this...If you want to learn reiki you should go ahead and get started. I found it to be a wonderful adventure and I now know that I can help both myself and others in a real and lasting way.

Energy Awareness. Here you will learn to better feel the ebbs and flows of energy, to feel energy outside of yourself.Advanced healing techniques, for instance psychic surgery and the like.Connecting to Spirit / The Flow. Everything you learn is in some way geared towards this blissful skill! Shift Your Energetic Vibration.One of the great advantages of shifting your energetic vibration is that it will bring you enhanced clarity in your life (for a detailed account of this, please read my recent article, R + M = C!).This clarity will help you make better decisions and will get rid of the angst often associated with indecision.The next critical reason you want to shift your energetic vibration is that it will bestow on both you and the world (!) greater inner calm, happiness and balance.

When a person wishes to become a master and teach pupils the therapy method, he has to pass through rigorous levels of learning the art himself. He has to prove that he is the best in the methods and only then will he be able to qualify for the master level certification. He has to devote a lot of time for practice and also learning the new methods and symbols. The master degree or the level where a person can become a master is difficult and hence all lower levels should be conquered.

The master is the final authority and hence he needs to be proficient in the art. He needs to be a mentor, a teacher and most of all an expert in the therapy methods. He has to attune all his students the art form in such a way that they become an expert very soon. He needs to help the students practice and master the lower levels of the art and only then will he be called a master in true sense.

True Mastery comes when you interact with clients, and in the moment have to make decisions and give advice that makes a difference. I advise students that their real learning begins the moment they take a client who they do not know. It is easy practicing on family and friends... the true learning comes with a walk in client you do not know.You gain awareness about your own ability, your confidence, knowledge, and ability to help others... you also get real life feedback about the Reiki you have given and how it feels.

Charity Work,If doing charity work is your thing, then becoming a Reiki master is a great step in the right direction.Not only will you gain access to far more opportunities due to your new credentials, you will also be able to empower anyone you meet with the gift of Reiki.As an example, right now I am working on a trip to Africa that aims to attune up to 1000 locals. For that purpose I need as many Reiki Masters as possible to accompany me.Could you be one of them?Whether anyone can become a Reiki Master in the truest sense of the term is debatable.Certainly the founder of Reiki, Mikao Usui, never saw himself as a realized master of the art.What Master Level really does, therefore, is initiate you into the realm of Reiki Mastership. It teaches your techniques and skills that you will then need to go away and work on for months, years and perhaps even the rest of your life.In that sense, you never really feel that you've 'made it' as a Reiki Master.But, with consistent practice, you do notice changes in yourself - sometimes big, sometimes small - that ultimately make a huge difference to the way you experience the world.
