Staying Positive – How to Overcome Negative Thinking Patterns

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

Negative thinking can destroy your happiness, productivity, and whatever else you are being negative about. While you may try and couch it as being a realist, things are rarely as bad as we make them out to be. So fight negative thinking to be happier, more productive, and successful.

Positive Affirmations

Did you know that how we think we feel affects how we actually feel? It’s an interesting quirk of our biology that lets us change our mood fairly easily. Just by thinking of things in a positive, upbeat way, you can make yourself positive and upbeat.

An easy way to do this is through positive affirmations. Have a list of good thoughts that, if you think they are true, would make your life great. Come up with things like.

1. I am a great person
2. I am successful
3. People love me
4. My boss values my work
5. I am upwardly mobile
6. My life is better now than it was a year ago, and will be even better next year
7. I am happy

When you say these to yourself, try and actually mean them. If you can, you will probably start to feel better.

Smile!

This is related to the first tip. If you do something so simple as try and act happy, you will feel happy. Psychologists have noted this for a long time.

The key to this phenomena is that, chemically, most of our states look the same. Happiness, anger and sadness all have quite similar levels of adrenaline and other chemicals, though sadness usually has slightly less. To figure out whether these chemicals mean we are happy, sad or angry, our minds look to our environment. In one experiment, psychologists gave 2 groups of people shots of adrenaline. In both there was a planted research assistant, but the two acted very differently. In one room, the assistant acted happy, and the other people in the room were happy. In the other, the assistant acted angry, and the others were angry. The people relied on context to determine whether the adrenaline meant they were happy or angry. This is why crowds can go from happy and peaceful to an angry mob in moments. By acting happy, you trick your brain into thinking that you are supposed to be happy, so you are happy.

Interesting, huh?

Avoid Negatives

Sometimes you cannot avoid words like cannot, but you can try and limit their usage. Think of things in a positive light by stripping can’t and cannot from your vocabulary.

Get active

Oftentimes, negative thinking comes from a dearth of energy. Slothfulness leaves your body without adrenaline, serotonin and other drugs that make you feel strong emotions. Get up and move. Climb the stairs rather than take the elevator, go out and ride a bike, run in the morning. Get up from your desk and take a short stroll whenever you have a chance, just to get your blood moving. Just move, and you won’t be able but to think positive thoughts.

Negativities stultify the human spirit

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

It is very strange when people say that they don’t have time to be happy and at the same time they get the time to be sad. It is shocking but is also true. Their pitiful affiance has nothing to do with adequate or inadequate time. It is all related to complaining as complaining is the reversal of happiness.

So try to defend yourself from the negativities as it is persistent like the common cold but is far more disturbing and damaging. The people who had got infected with the negative thoughts are internally damaged or destroyed. The people who have the negative thoughts become stimulating, sarcastic and unconcerned.

So the question arises that how can we defend ourselves against this disease. It is very simple as when we know the side effects of a disease we automatically restrain ourselves from getting involved in it. So here are few examples which will help us refrain from the negative thoughts.

1. The worst thing is complaining as complaining is like digging a hole for you. As the more we will complain the bigger will be the hole and more hard will be for us to come out of it. So try to avoid complaining and instead of complaining say something good.

2. A negative thought have a great impact on your life. As we can’t blame anyone for the problems of our lives and for the solutions. We have to solve the problems on our own and if you say that positive thinking does not work for you than for your information positive thinking does not work you have to work.

3. Negative thought brings failures for us. And failure causes the physical and mental stress. So a bad attitude not only brings failures to your life but is also accompanied by the weak immune system and a number of diseases.

4. The people with the negative thinking close all the doors of happiness and success that are approaching towards them and they are left with failures and sorrows.

5. The people who have negative thinking want that everyone and everything around them should act in the way in which they want which is not possible. So when their wishes are not fulfilled they become unhappy.

6. When we accuse ourselves and others we are just preparing ourselves for the failures and are creating self fulfilling prophecies.

7. If we have a negative thinking than the world around us will also be negative and we have to live in it at any cost. As if we awe the negative thinking we will complain about everything and in response we will have to face the rude attitude of the people.

8. The greatest effect of the negativities is that it sets up the mind of the victim. And the people start to believe that they can’t do anything and they had to rely on others for everything.

9. The other effect of negativities is that the effected people want each and everything but without doing and struggle which is against the fundamental laws of life. So they are not able to achieve anything.

10. The people with the negative thought are attracted by only those people who also have the negative thoughts and together they make a group of losers.

11. The stress which a person had to face with a negative attitude demolishes all the energy, motivation and focus of a person and than it is quite hard to get the success.

12. The people who neglect to change their negative attitude undergo abandon, depression and misery.

13. Apart from all this the people with the negative thought not only harm themselves but also harm the world with their thoughts.

The life of a person is like a boat with a motor and he is travelling in a sea but is not aware of the fact that he has a motor in the boat. Unless you will use the motor you are the captive of the sea and if you use the motor you can change the course of the sea. So the choice is all your s that how you want to lead your life.

Exciting Exercises, Tips and Suggestions to Strengthen Your Psychic Abilities

Monday, July 4th, 2011

There are the famous world renowned psychics we all know of. Elizabeth Baron is one of the world’s most celebrated psychics and mediums. Abby Haydon has helped many groups of people throughout the world develop their own psychic abilities as well as perform accurate readings. Gordon Smith is a famous psychic who speaks to the dead. So you want to do the same? Perhaps you don’t care so much about speaking to the dead but just want the gift of reading auras, chakras or tarot cards for your friends and family. Maybe you want to heighten your intuitive sense so that you yourself can become a medium. It’s possible for each and every one of us to achieve that, and the power lies completely within.

First, it’s important to be clear on what psychic ability is. If you are a beginner to the psychic world, you may be unaware that psychics are not simply gypsy looking folks who sit on a cloth covered table with a crystal ball and predict the future. Psychics are not “magical or mystical” superheros. They are normal and healthy individuals who have perfected their gift, whether there were born with a heightened sense or have simply worked hard to perfect their gift. Sylvia Brown is a famous psychic who has become famous for her ability to communicate with the dead, make accurate predictions on the world’s future and is one of the most gifted contemporary psychics of this time. She and many other psychics have used their gift to help solve murders, catch runaways and contribute their good to thousands of people all over the world.

are psychics real

If you wanted to increase your intuitive ability(which is really just a skill of heightened senses in an individual) you would have to devote yourself to total trust and confidence. In the same way, this is a crucial step for developing a finely tuned psychic gift as well. Since we all have the ability to be clairvoyant, it is just our current state of mind that is preventing us from reaching the level of accuracy and focus we need to be psychic. Psychic ability requires depending on yourself – and yourself first and foremost – and at the same time learning to weed out those other voices in your head. Confused? If you think about all of your obligations in your daily life such as work, running errands, your relationships with a spouse, partner and children, you have a lot going on. Most likely, you experience constant noise such as self-judgments or the judgments of others; negative emotions during times of challenge and other’s opinions that can easily effect your decision making process. This must be eliminated, as psychics need a focused and clear space to receive information.

As we all have the power and gift of becoming psychic and fine tuning our psychic ability, some helpful tips to heighten our awareness, improve our receptiveness and outlined here. Use excellent judgment, be cautious before acting on any decision or feeling and always trust in yourself more than the outside world’s judgment of you. Soon, you will begin to have images, feelings or words come into your mind and find them to prove true moments or days later. For example, have you ever thought about distant relative just seconds before the phone rings, and it’s that very person? Your psychic ability can be quickly heightened when you acknowledge the ability itself. So, when the phone rings and you know who it is right before you answer the phone, acknowledge that. Consider creating a mantra for yourself and repeat it throughout the day reminding yourself of your psychic abilities and how beneficial they are working in your life.

It’s important to constantly practice the gift you have been given. Don’t just repeat your mantra every once in a while or believe in your ability to “sometimes” tell the future. Your psychic ability needs to be strengthened in the same way your muscles need to be strengthened by lifting weights. If you want to have bigger biceps, more toned legs or improve your endurance, are you going to sit on the couch eating potato chips or go the gym? No one in their right mind will believe you can improve your endurance by sitting and watching TV all day. Your psychic muscle requires constant strengthening in the same way those biceps of yours too. Practice, practice, practice and you will be able to create the type of clairvoyant life you dream of. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t quite “measure” your progress. Improving your psychic powers can’t be determined in the same way other things can, like making your first cherry pie from scratch or acing that math test. This is when it’s most useful to practice trust and self-confidence. Only you know where you started, what you’ve accomplished and how far you need to go to make your dreams come true, right? Stay focused on that and allow yourself the time to improve.

A strong psychic ability requires the opportunity to strengthen your focus, determination and concentration. This can easily be done by some exercises to aid you in your psychic powers. After practicing these exercises on a weekly basis, you should have no trouble seeing and feeling the difference in your life to be clairvoyant! This first exercise involves using your “inner eye” and requires a partner to help you. Stand face to face with someone else and close your eyes. Use your inner eye to scan them up and down. Taking your time, realize what you feel about them. What do their clothes look like? What kind of images, words or numbers come up as you look them up and down and where? Afterwards, open your eyes and describe what you felt. Have the other person describe your accuracy.
You can also practice predictions and improve your ability to foretell the future. Stand or sit comfortably, with your feet firmly planted on the ground and write down three predictions for the next few days. As you go through those days, notice what you have perceived to be right and wrong. You will notice that over time, your predictions to become truer and more relevant.

Mind Control Techniques

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

Silva method subconscious mind control techniques are the best around. The purpose is to give us the power to increase our mental abilities, learn faster, retain more information, and even become better human beings. The mind is like a circuit, and thoughts are energy. When we capture this amazing truth and make it work for us, there is no limit to how high we can climb, or who we can become.

mind control

There are four recognized mental stages. The one most of us spend our lives in isthe beta state. This is our state of basic, waking awareness. The other three levels occur at different times while we are sleeping, but can also be achieved when we are awake and aware, giving us incredible powers of perception, and pushing the limits or our experience. These last three levels are called alpha, theta and delta.

Alpha is a state of relaxed awareness, associated with heightened awareness, concentration and perception. In the alpha state, the person is fully conscious and awake, but also hyper-focused and sensitive. This is an excellent state for learning and memorization, as well as excelling at just about anything.  In this state, some have also reported the ability to read others' thoughts and emotions accurately, or share their thoughts and emotions with others telepathically.

The theta state is ideal for healing and renewal. This stage closely resembles deep meditation, dreaming, and contemplative prayer. At this level, we are conscious and aware, but our minds are extremely powerful, giving us the ability to heal and uncover wounds, injuries, and even illnesses. Some have claimed they were able to heal a number of chronic or deadly illnesses in this mind-state.

The delta level is incredibly rare and reached only by the most disciplined meditators, using the deepest mind-control techniques. This state represents the mind at the deepest level of sleep, even though it is achieved while we are fully awake!. It is associated with transcendence, bliss, and deep, inner knowing. It is also the mind state for mental projection and lucid dreaming. It is commonly associated with enlightenment.

Those who use the silva method employ a number of techniques for achieving the different mental levels. The two most prominent include meditation and hypnosis. There is also the possibility of using music or binaural beats to achieve any of the three levels. Everyone should use whatever techniques is the most effective for them, as individuals.

Meditation is an ancient discipline, practiced by many cultures, over many generations. It is a mind-control technique, sometimes called the ultimate mind-control technique, since its ultimate goal is to bring the states of mind under control. With it, it is possible to still and focus our minds, entering several levels of trance-states, closes associated with those recognized in the silva method. Guided meditations exist specifically for this purpose.

Hypnosis is very much like meditation, except its main focus is on reaching an altered state of consciousness. Hypnosis is a relaxed, aware state, which makes us highly open to suggestion and ideas. This is not unlike the alpha stage, which is perfect for learning and heightened perception. Like meditation, there are guided sessions to help with self-hypnosis, and there are professional hypnotists who may be willing to help us enter a trance-like state.

Music can be used to reach any mental state. It is often a perfect supplement to meditation or hypnosis, as music can enchant the mind and draw us deeper into trance and concentration. The best music for this will be different for just about everyone. The key is to something our own minds respond well too, and which can occupy our attention and still our thoughts for long periods of time.

Binaural beats are audial beats created to match certain frequencies reached by the mind in one of the three higher levels. When we hear them, the sympathetic response of our brains is to match their frequency. High-quality examples can instantly propel us into alpha, theta or delta mental levels. They don't work for everyone, but, when they do, they can produce a very immediate and profound experience.

We all want to be the best people we possibly can be and achieve the highest potential of our powerful human minds. The Silva Method give us a path to this development, supplying us with great tools for cultivating our mental powers and improving our lives. Using meditation, music, binaural beats, or hypnosis, we can achieve greater concentration, healing, and bliss to achieve all that we are meant to as awakened, living beings.

Lucid Dreaming and Out of Body Experiences

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

astral projection and out of boy experiences

Many people have heard of lucid dreaming and out of body experiences, but may not know what exactly they are and if they go hand in hand or are separate experiences. Lucid dreaming is the ability of a person dreaming to realize they are dreaming. As a person learns how to do this, they are able to control their dreams as well. An out of body experience is one in which a person has the sensation that their spiritual body has left their physical body. This is a common occurrence with people who have experienced great trauma or a life threatening event. They are rushed to a hospital and taken to surgery. While in surgery they begin to see their own body lying on the operating table, can see the lights shining down on them, are able to see the doctors and nurses moving and can hear them talking to one another. They are in essence floating above their physical body and watching the events as they take place. This is not the same as a near death experience in which a person becomes aware of a white light or walking down a tunnel, like many who have had near death experiences have related.

While both of these activities are independent of one another, the ability to join them is one that is easily learned. When a person first learns to lucid dream, they are able to enjoy their dreams while knowing they are dreaming. As they become more adept at lucid dreaming, they are able to begin to change the dream into anything they see fit. This is called dream control and is very easy to do once a person is lucid dreaming. For a person who would like to experience flight or any other form of an out of body experience, all they need to do is begin with lucid dreaming and dream control.be

There is another form of out of body experience that is called astral projection. Astral projection is the ability of a person to leave his or her physical body and travel near or far with their spiritual body. Many people who have done this have had different experiences, but most seem to be the same. They enjoy the feeling of flying apart from their physical body, but are vaguely aware of a thin, faint, silver cord connecting them to their physical body. This type of out of body experience can occur either during lucid dreaming or after having practiced doing it alone.

Many who have perfected their ability to astral travel find they are able to travel far distances, even without the memory of getting there. They desire to travel some place, say the Eiffel Tower, and as soon as they decide to go there that is where they are. This isn’t the same for everyone though. Many people have to work up to it. Most start by floating above their own physical body, and then gradually go a little farther away – maybe down the street. Eventually they are able to go wherever they want almost instantaneously.

Astral travel has been around for many years and shows up when studying different cultures from the American Indian medicine men, to Shamanism, and even to the Aborigines of Australia. It wasn’t common knowledge because it was considered a spiritual journey that only the spiritual intermediaries were able to perform. Now, it is becoming common knowledge that anyone who is willing to take the time to learn can astral travel.

If you want to experience all the benefits of lucid dream or have an out of body experience, know that it only takes several months for most people. Begin by practicing daily. Don’t get frustrated if you don’t see results and be patient with yourself. The ability to explore our world and universe in a very different way is available to anyone who has the patience and willingness to learn. It does come easier for some, but if you are open to new adventures of this sort it will happen for you too.

How Positive Affirmations Can Change Your Life

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

In today's world, there is a desperate need for positive affirmations, but sadly, very little practice of this amazingly simple technique. There is sad abundance of negative thinking these days, in almost every aspect of our lives. We think in a negative manner about ourselves all the time, telling ourselves that we are not attractive enough, wealthy enough, successful enough, efficient enough or thin enough.

A very dangerous reality is that this negative thinking actually creates more negative thinking. To understand how this works, we must first understand how a thought pattern is created in the brain.

How Thoughts Form and Repeat

Obviously, the first time we think something, we create it with our own minds. Even if it is told to us by another person, we have to reject or accept the thought. If we accept it, our subconscious mind sees it as fact. That's how positive thinking techniques work.

Over time, a repeated thought actually creates a groove in the surface of the brain. If we could look at our brains as infants, we would not see any grooves. The image of a human brain that we're all familiar with, with grooves running this way and that, is a product of a lifetime of thought.

Positive thinking techniques

This is a process that can have dangerous consequences, however. Once a negative thought has its own groove, it is actually easier for the brain to form that thought. What was once a process which required thinking becomes almost automatic. Over time, a single incidence of thinking “Wow, I really look fat,” can become an unconscious pattern of thinking that we look fat, no matter how slender we become.

Every time we think a particular thought, the groove of that thought becomes deeper. However, every time we deny that thought, the groove shrinks a bit. If we switch thought patterns by thinking “I look beautiful” every time we begin to think “I look fat,” we can actually train our brains to reject the negative thought and embrace the positive one. This is the simplified basis for positive affirmations, and also the reason why they can be so effective.

Reject the Negative, Affirm the Positive

While many people successfully re-train their brains by re-framing every negative thought they have, this is a very difficult thing to do. It requires a great deal of commitment and diligence. Every time a negative thought occurs, the thinker must cut it off and immediately replace it with a positive thought. Though this is a simple thing to do, the sheer number of thoughts that we have in a day makes it almost exhausting at first. Over time, it does become much easier as we become used to doing it. However, many people become frustrated after a few days and give up.

For this reason, using positive affirmations is a much more effective way to begin re-training your brain. You don't have to deal with the “constant” factor of re-framing every thought, and so it's a much easier way to begin.

Positive affirmations

A positive affirmation is simply a statement about yourself or your life that is positive in nature. Positive affirmations can relate to your appearance, your self-esteem, your love life, work life, or health. They can be rather general, or they can address a specific issue that you are having trouble with. They can be written and composed yourself, or they can be found in books or the internet.

A common element to all positive affirmations is that they are in the future present tense. The subconscious mind will not respond to a negative. Saying “I will not gain weight” simply won't work. Some believe that positive affirmations that are in the present tense are the most effective, while others believe that “I will” statements work just as well. There are no hard-and-fast rules regarding this, and however your desired affirmation sounds most natural to you is most likely the best way to say it.

How and When to Use Positive Affirmations

This is almost entirely up to you, although you should make your positive affirmations at least once a day. Some prefer to say them out loud, in front of a mirror, and feel that they are more effective this way. However, if you're uncomfortable doing this, at least at first, feel free to say them in your mind.

The use of positive affirmations is often obvious within the first few days, showing up as a greater sense of well-being and happiness. Once you realize the power of this simple method, you'll likely begin using positive affirmations to improve every area of your life.

To-do list for self-development

  • Realise that knowledge is the key to overcoming fear and prejudice.
  • Believe in your own dreams, when they are all you have to hang onto.
  • You usually project on the outside how you feel on the inside - be aware of what you are projecting to the world.
  • Repeat to yourself: You deserve success as rightfully as anyone else.
  • Always give more in service than you expect to receive in payment.

Genius Dip: What’s Causing Your Child’s Intelligence to Drop Between 4-20 years of age?

Monday, June 9th, 2008

A Shocking Harvard Study Proved That Almost All Children Are Born With Extraordinary Levels of Multiple Intelligences, But Only 2% Retain Their Talents Into Adulthood

How Convinced Are You That Your Child Is Not One of The 98% of Children Missing Out On His Extraordinary Potential?

I want to tell you a story, a true story of two children who grew up to be happy and successful in life. One is a photographer, the other a musician.

They are very much alike, these men. They are both living their dreams. Both are enjoying life to the fullest. And they are both receiving recognition for their wonderful creative expressions.

But there was a difference. One man took 80 years to achieve his dream. The other took just 20 years.

What Made The Difference?

Have you ever wondered, as have I, what makes some people able to achieve the success of their dreams and find their life purpose at such a young age? Have you always wanted to know how they did it, not so much for yourself, but even more for your children to have the life of opportunities you never had?

Well, let me tell you that it isn't always talent, opportunity or hard work that makes the difference. Nor is it that one person harbors dreams and the other doesn't.

The difference lies in the personl growing years and the freedom he was given to retain and maximize his natural talents, intelligence and intuition. Without this nurtured freedom, a child would otherwise be confined, only to spend a lifetime searching and struggling to regain that magic.

Trust me, I know

I am that 80+ year old man, and the 20-year-old musician is my grandson. Only at the age of of 78 did I start photography, and at the age of 80 my work was recognized by the International Photography Hall of Fame.

It was a great achievement at my age yet at the same time, I saw my grandson, Shawn, living his musician dreams at an age when I was still naive in my direction. In just his early twenties, Shawn was already composing, singing and performing songs with his band, earning an Inland Empire Music Awards nomination for Best Indie Rock Group and Best Live Act, all while completing his college degree.

What was Shawn secret to utilizing his full potential, living his dreams and finding his life purpose at such an early age? How did he accomplish this feat four times faster than I did?

My 50 Year Journey To Reawaken My Inner Magic

Many people are surprised to know I only started photography at the age of 78. Many are even more surprised that I also started writing and painting at this age.

It was something I never had the talent for (or at least that's what I thought)... but with my mastery of mind power techniques, I found a way to tap into and reawaken an inner magic that unleashed a creative expression I never thought I had it in me.

It was a long journey, but my experience enabled me to develop specific techniques and mental conditioning exercises. Once I saw for myself this true power of the mind, it became my mission to help others tap into the latent power of their mind and unleash their true inner magic.

The Right Intervention at the Right Time

Today at over 80 years old, I prefer to stay home, but I've been able to unleash my teachings to the entire world through the Internet. I now have a membership list of over 70,000 from my site called The American Monk, and through this I've reached out and transformed the lives of more people than I ever imagined possible with my teachings.

Today, looking back upon my experience, I noticed one prominent pattern. All the adults whom I've helped throughout my travels over the past 50 years were all natural geniuses that lost it somewhere, and they turned to me to help them regain the inner magic of their mind.

They too knew that they were more capable than what life currently holds for them. They too held the belief that the mind is the most powerful tool one can master. And just like me, they too were looking for the key to unlock their talents and excel in life.

But one day it dawned upon me what I should have realized a long time ago.

If the adults I was helping hadn't lost their genius in the first place, would they be needing my help as adults to reawaken that inner magic?

Wouldn't it then make more sense for an earlier interventional to reach out to people when they are younger to reach out to children?

It's all about the RIGHT intervention at the RIGHT time, isn't it?

Upon realizing this, I shifted my efforts to focus on children. I started to do some research. And I came across a shocking study.

Shocking Harvard Study Shows That Between Age 4 and Age 20, 98% Will Lose Their Capabilities for Genius That They Were Naturally Born With

I came across a Harvard study led by Howard Gardner, the professor that revolutionized our understanding of intelligence by being the first to define intelligence into seven different dimensions.

Leading a research group at Harvard called Project Zero, Howard Gardner made another discovery that shook the ground of psychology.

They proved that almost every child is born with genius! But after the age of 20, only a mere 2% retain their talents. 98% LOSE THEIR POTENTIAL.

I call this sad phenomena the Genius Dip.

What is going on? Why does this Genius Dip happen?

SOMETHING happens during upbringing that causes 98% of children to have these abilities ERASED from their mind.

It can't be genetic. Not when almost every child is born a genius. So if nature is not the answer, the only logical conclusion left is nurture.

But what? I asked myself the same question and after some investigation and research, the results both shocked and disappointed me.

Now please don't get me wrong. I don't want to sound like I'm against education, because I'm not. In fact, two of my daughters are school teachers and I'm proud of the work they do. Education is essential and important.

But there are shortcomings of the mass education system that you have to know otherwise you too will be lulled into thinking that mass cookie-cutter school systems are enough to develop your child into a successful well-balanced adult.

The Shortcomings of the Education System

Yes, while it is essential for your child to be in school, your children are going to need more than that in the world to come. They are going to need more than historical facts, geographic locations, mathematical ability, musical skills and the likes.

Those things are important BUT they will also need to know how to understand the world how to communicate and interconnect with others how to visualize goals and attract success. And in the bigger picture, how to tap into intuition, fulfill their life purpose and leave behind a mark in their world.

But all of that… they don't learn in school.

You can't blame the system though. It's unfortunately an inevitable shortcoming of any mass system. The old-fashioned cookie cutter method of mass education destroys any chance of meeting each individual child's needs of creative nurturing.

The Genius Dip: Why Children Are Losing their Genius Potential and What You Can Do to Help Your Child

Are you one of those people that see genius as an equal? Do you still believe that a person is either born with intelligence, or they're not? Do you still believe in the old-fashioned myth that intelligence is inherited?

Could you be one of the parents unknowingly holding back your own child's genius because you are stuck with this old-programming belief that genius is only exclusive to the a few?

Because you truly care about the most important asset of out future of our CHILDREN I'm going to share with you the most crucial discoveries that I've made in my 50 years of collected knowledge of the minds power and potential.

Here's what I'm going to share with you in my report:

  • How to unleash the hidden abilities of the mind at ANY age
  • The Harvard study discovery that will forever change how you see the minds potential
  • The ugly truth about Americans No Child Left Behind campaign and how it is the worst disaster any government ever inflicted upon children
  • The crucial elements you must understand to IMMEDIATELY save your child's genius capability from the shocking factors the education system refuses to acknowledge

Your mind ran wild with terrible imaginings and you were literally paralysed by fear!

Soon the feared event happened!

Yet when you eventually passed through the actual experience you realised that the fear you had was much worse than the actual event!

Most of us have had such experiences.

On the other hand have you ever feared the worst and it didn’t happen?

In both the above situations you probably worked yourself into a frenzy in anticipation of this terrible thing that was about to happen only to find out later that your fears were unfounded. Did you find that the actual experience was not nearly as bad as the fear you initially had.

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”

Franklin D. Roosevelt 1933.

So what is fear and how do we defeat it?

Fear is the result of negative mental programming. Fear enters your mind when your  automatic thinking is negative. When you find yourself well outside your comfort zone and in unknown territory! It is the unknown outcome that produces fear in any situation and the collection of many thoughts that direct your consciousness to the worst possible scenario.

Fear is false!

If you look closely at your fears you will find that the great majority of them never come to pass and those that do are not as bad as you expected them to be.

The key to conquering fear lies in your thinking and questioning. In future when you are confronted with a fear you should stop for a moment and take a very deep breath. Breathing deeply relaxes the body and removes the tension that the fear is creating in your body. Then look closely at the way you have just been thinking. Isn’t it true that you filled your mind with images that equated to the worst things that could happen in that situation.

Reverse the thoughts! Begin by questioning the fear. Use the following four questions to paralyse the fear!

  1. 1. Is your feared based in reality?
  2. 2. If the fear were to become reality would the experience really be as bad as you have been thinking it would be?
  3. 3. Is it possible that you may actually gain something from experiencing the feared event?

This last question may sound like a strange thing to ask yourself but there is a two-fold reason for asking it. Firstly, any thought in a different direction breaks the runaway train of negative fearful thought! Secondly, it forces you to look at the fear from a different perspective and neutralizes its power.

  1. 4. Is it possible that if I change my thinking now I can actually create what I want instead of being fearful?

When we change how we think we change how we act.

A great majority of people who experience the things that they have feared for a long time have actually brought about the feared event themselves because they have constantly focused on their fears. By focusing on your fears you tend to act in ways that are connected to the fears and thus you unconsciously create the feared event. An example would be a person who fears they will lose their partner.

In order to keep the person they will try to control everything they do, constantly question their actions and scrutinize their every move in order to ensure they never leave them. Can you see how trying to do this will actually create the reverse effect and push the person away. Yet to them they are ensuring they keep the person! Everyone of us acts in this way everyday - we outwardly attract our fears through our actions due to our focus.

Likewise, when we hold in mind the expectation that we will receive what we want to receive our thinking affects our actions and we find ourselves attracting the very things we want.

So to avoid attracting situations and people that will help you manifest your own fears constantly ask yourself the four fear-busting questions above. You will soon find that your fears are only shadows with no real substance and you will begin to move forward in the direction you want.
