Train your Mind

The subconscious mind responds to your suggestions, desires or repeated actions.

When you do a certain thing a number of times, you can do that particular thing without thinking about it; you do it automatically; it acts of itself. The reason is, you have trained the subconscious mind to do it for you.

When you continue to suggest certain things to your subconscious mind, and repeat those suggestions over and over a number of times, the subconscious will soon take them up and act upon your suggestions.

Train your subconscious mind to think only of health and strength; never of disease and weakness; positive thoughts instead of negative thoughts, what the subconscious mind thinks of constantly it will produce constantly.

Whatever the subconscious mind thinks about, it will produce.

This is a psychological law that is demonstrated every minute in the life of every person; and it is a law which, when applied intelligently, will enable a person to change and improve his nature and his physical conditions almost as he may choose.

Every desire must have a greater goal in view, and every action must be animated with the spirit of aspiration. To rise in the scale, to work up to greater things, and to reach the heights.

When you feel weakness, or do not feel as strong as you wish, one of the better ways to release these thoughts is to breath deep, start filling the lower part of the lungs first, then you fill the middle and upper part. When exhaling you first empty the upper part of the lungs, then the middle, and last of all the lower part. Repeating this proccess enables you to focus on your breathing and relax your mind.

In THE CARD THAT KEEPS YOU ON TRACK you will find affirmations that will alter your mental state, say them loud, feel them and read them many times, they will manifest in yor life and you will experience what is to Train your Mind.

The Invisible Counselors

One of the best books available on your way to greatness is Napoleon Hills book Think And Grow Rich in which he explains in detail how to develop a wealth mindset, and achieve success beyond your wildest dreams.

One particular technique: The Invisible Counselors Visualization Exercise was his ultimate technique for sourcing skills, ideas and inspiration.

This is how you do it…

Just before going to sleep at night, close your eyes, and see, in your imagination, a group of people seated with you around a Council Table. Visualize it and try to see it in detail, and  invite anyone you wish to sit at the Council Table.

Have a Definitive purpose for holding these nightly
Council Meetings.
Your Definitive Purpose can be anything you want to change about yourself or your life. Since all this is going on in your
mind, your imagination is the only limit!

Call on the Council Members for the knowledge you wish
each to contribute.
The idea here is to start a discussion with these people on any topic of your choice.

Examples of using these techniques were used also by:

Edison has been quoted as saying, “Ideas come from space. It’s hard to believe but it’s true. Ideas come from out of space.”

Elias Howe, the inventor of the sewing machine. You may not know this, but Elias got the inspiration to create the sewing machine from a dream. Here’s how he explains the dream…
“I was in Africa and was being chased by wild cannibals. They caught me and placed me in a huge pot. I kept trying to get out but they kept forcing me back in with spears.”
The spears Howe saw in his dream had holes in the tips. It was this bit of information that gave him the idea for the sewing machine needle.

“While the meetings of my cabinet may be purely fictional , and the meetings existent only in my own imagination, they have led me into glorious paths of adventure, rekindled an appreciation of true greatness, encouraged creative endeavor, and emboldened the expression of honest thought.” Hill’s quote.

Another book that was recently published is Outwitting the Devil from Napoleon Hill and was hidden since 1938, is another valuable resource to read.

Issac Asimov – Internet and Vocation

I just saw this interview of Issac Asimov (was considered to be one of the “Big Three” science-fiction writers during his lifetime) from 1988 in which he envision the future of the education trough the Internet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIUo51qXuPQ&feature=youtu.be It is fascinating to hear such a man, explaining the history of education in which just a few were capable of a private tutor, evolving to classes for many pupils and having the problem to adapt themselves to the rhythm of the class or the teacher, he sawthe possibilities of the future web, offering  many different options for students at all ages, to pursuit an education that adapts to their capabilities and empowering to full fill their vocations. He believed in personal creativity and curiosity to search in life what you aim for. Sometimes I doubt that many people will be making a search for a true meaning in their life so after seeing, hearing and reading Issac Asimov I better change my perspective about it. He certainly had a great imagination and visions of the world.

Focus and Intention

What is focus?

The ability to see beyond what is obvious, something away of space, time and energy.

Something that I want to experience, feel and know.

Why to be in focus?

To receive power, speed and feel the experience.

Is it different from the Intention?

Very much indeed, the intention is the beginning of the process, gathering and releasing resources, it is very important.

Focus is doing in action, the direction is clear, the gathering was already made, the process is in  motion.

Where are you?

In Focus or Intention?

Ending year 2011

I am so proud for this ending year of 2011.  

I had these wonderful experiences and new learnings starting with

a course in medium readings, psychic  energy,  silva method and new technical charts in finance.

I saw my mother being very ill and in pain at the beginning of the year and ending this previous year in good shape and enthusiastic about life, with a very strong attitude towards life.

I made some incredible trips to Spain, USA and finishing at the romantic city of Rome with the Christmas  lights.

I solved a big problem that I had with real estate and the solution was better than I expected.

I lost weight and stayed in shape and feel good about my body.

My family and I share wonderful moments, with my friends we had great walks in the country and good parties.

The only thing that make me very sad this year is that a close member of my family is having the worst year ever and hope that will find the willpower to overcome it and to make something good out of it.  All my blessings.

Why I am sharing you with you all this?

Because I wrote in THE CARD THAT KEEPS YOU ON TRACK the things that I wanted them to happen to me and they all come true.

So I insist for you this year to allow yourself to dream big, make plans, contracts with yourself and write them down on THE CARD.

I wish you a happy new year 2012!

Alpha waves

Alpha waves are one of the frequencies of humanbrain waves, they range between 7-12 HZ.

This is a place of deep relaxation, but-not quite meditation. In Alpha, we begin to access the wealth of creativity-that lies just below our conscious awareness – it is the gateway, the entry-point that leads into deeper states of consciousness.

Alpha brainwaves are slower, and higher in amplitude.

A person who has completed a task and sits down to rest is often in an alpha state. A person who takes time out to reflect or meditate is usually in an alpha state. A person who takes a break from a conference and walks in the garden is often in an alpha state.

Alpha brain waves are slow, and scientific research has proven that when people are in the “alpha state”, they receive more oxygen return to the brain, allowing them to rest or sleep more peacefully and deeply.

Alpha brain wave production is an innate but one consequence of the modern stressful lifestyle is that we forget how to produce Alpha brain waves. Then we easily fall victim to anxiety and stress-related diseases. People who have more Alpha brain waves have less anxiety, stronger immune systems.

Creativity is another activity for which Alpha brain waves are helpful.  In order to have a creative inspiration, your brain needs to be able to generate a big burst of Alpha brain waves, mostly on the left side of the brain.  Any time you have an insight or an inspiration, you know your brain just produced more Alpha waves than usual.

How To Increase Your Alpha Brain Waves:

• Start a Meditation Routine
• Hypnotizing Yourself
• Closed-Eyes Visualization
• Yoga
• Deep-Breathing Exercises
• Guided Relaxation
• Laying Under the Sun, Sitting in a Sauna, Hot-Tub

I would suggest take Silva Method course

Imagination

These are few of the things or elements that has a person with a vivid imagination.

They have the ability to:

• see things differently - They continuously challenge the assumptions that surround them, and use that as for their creativity.  They are willing to abandon any attitudes which might cause them to believe that everything is going to stay the same, with the result that they view the world through a different set of lenses. These lenses help them to generate new ideas, come up with imaginative solutions, and think creatively on a continuous basis

• challenge creativity in other people – They can shake a team out of its confort zone and motivate them to rethink

• focus on opportunity, not threat –  Realize that in the absence of action, no changes bring negative consequences.  They have come to learn that they  must continuously examine how to stay focus to visualize opportunity

• refuses to accept the status quo - “progress is great, but it has gone on far too long.”

• the ability to bring ideas to life

• has the skill to learn and unlearn -  The knowledge and skills that they will need to do their job in the future will require skills that are more complex, they view the opportunity to continuously learn something new with passion and enthusiasm.

• refuses to say the word “can’t” 

• accepts challenges with passion and enthusiasm. 

• embraces change rather than shying away from it

• listens to people who are different than them

• lives for the opportunity to have ideas challenged and debated

• instead of saying “it won’t work,” asks the question, “how can we make it work?

These elements are a call to action – a call to creativity – and a call for imagination. Pursue them, and you will rediscover a world in which change and challenge is turned in to opportunity and success.

Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better

Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better - Émile Coué

Émile Coué was a French psychologist and pharmacist who introduced a method of psychotherapy, healing, and self-improvement, based on autosuggestion or self-hypnosis.

“Law of Concentrated Attention.” The Law of Concentrated Attention states that whenever attention is concentrated on an idea over and over again, it spontaneously tends to realize itself. That’s where “every day…” came in.

Coué encouraged his patients with the promise of improvement. ” You have been sowing bad seed in your Unconscious ; now you will sow good seed. The power by which you have produced these ill effects will in future produce equally good ones.”

One of his famous ways of speaking to someone who complains about work, fatigue, health or bad luck were: ” That’s just where you’re wrong,” Coué says. ” If you say ` I want to do something,’ your imagination replies ` Oh, but you can’t.’ You must say ` I am going to do it,’ and if it is in the region of the possible you will succeed.”

The limits of the power of auto-suggestion are not yet known; final recovery is possible, he had a strong convinction in the power of the mind.

He believed that the imagination is much stronger than the will. So he said “You must put your trust in the imagination, not in the will. Think you are better and you will become so.”

” When you have any task to perform you will always think that it is easy. Such words as  difficult, impossible, I cannot’ will disappear from your vocabulary. Their place will be taken by this phrase :  ”It is easy and I can”. So, considering your work easy, even if it is difficult to others, it will become easy to you. You will do it easily, without effort and without fatigue.”

The science of being well

Written around 100 years ago this book

The Science of Being Well – Wallace D Wattles

but still highly-relevant today, Wallace D Wattles provides practical advice and techniques for becoming healthy again, if you are not already, and staying that way for a lifetime.

http://www.psitek.net/pages/PsiTek-the-science-of-being-well-Contents.html

Your getting well depends upon your beginning to think  and act  in a  certain way.

The two essentials of the Way are Faith and a Personal Application of the Faith.

The way a person thinks about things is determined by what he believes about them. His thoughts are determined by his faith, and the results depend upon his making a personal application of his faith.

You direct the will upon the mind, and use it in determining what you shall believe,what you shall think, and to what you shall give your attention.

The mental actions necessary to being well may now be summed up in a single sentence: Form a conception of yourself in perfect health, and think only use thoughts which are in harmony with that conception.

Never think of the ways in which weak or sickly people do things; always think of the way strong people do things. Spend your leisure time in thinking about the Strong Way, until you have a good conception of it; and always think of yourself in connection with the Strong Way of Doing Things. This is what I mean by having a Conception of Health.

The Silva Method

I came across with the Silva Method more than 30 years ago, when  I was a student at the beginning of my career.

I met an argentinean family that brought the system and started to teach it right away in spanish. Since then I used in my life and it helped me.

The Silva Method is the name given to a self help program developed by José Silva, which claims to increase an individual’s IQ and sense of personal well-being through relaxation and by developing their higher brain functions. Proponents believe that it can improve a person’s self image, allow them to think in a clearer manner.

The method consists of guided exercises, starting with teaching you how to put yourself in a relaxed state, which we call the “alpha level.”

With practice, you become more in tune with your self and your surroundings. Each exercise leads you to greater awareness and an increased ability to focus your thoughts.

This newfound ability allows you to solve everyday problems, to gain a better perspective of your life, and manifest your desires.

By using the basic building blocks of the Silva Method, desire, belief, and expectancy, you can achieve personal greatness.

This system uses Affirmations for Self-worth. we enforce good feelings and acknowledge our strengths through positive words. We can think them or say them aloud, depending on our situation. As we use them, we are, literally, changing our thought patterns and altering our own beliefs.

Positive affirmations become part of your being, here are some that can boost your self-esteem:

• “I am a unique and valuable person.”
• “I am worthy of love, happiness, success, and the fulfillment of my dreams.”
• “My worth as a human being is unconditional and other people unconditionally like me.”
• “I accept and acknowledge unconditionally my unique personality.”
• “I accept and acknowledge all of my weaknesses and strengths which make me who I am, and I am loved and love limitlessly.”
• “I forgive myself and others for my past and know that my own worth is not determined by anything I have ever done or said.”
