This world we live in is truly malleable. Through your thoughts, emotions, words and actions you can form the great unseen energy, of which everything is composed, into just about any shape or form you wish.

I urge you to practise the concepts of manifestation and keep practising them until you can manifest small things. When you can prove to yourself that you can manifest a dollar, a cup of coffee, 10 dollars or a hundred dollars etc then you can start raising the ante!

Why do affirmations seldom work? We hear if self improvement circles all the time that we must eliminate the negative and affirm the positive but many people find that when they try Louise Hay type affirmations the opposite happens.

What on earth is going on?

Well when it comes to affirmations I believe that the old traditional way of just reciting what you want countless times a day is worse than useless. When you keep telling yourself that you are thin when quite clearly you are the size of a house how on earth can you have faith that what you are saying is true.

Likewise prosperity affirmations are only going to make you feel frustrated and angry when you can't even meet the rent payments!

The problem with affirmations is that they only deal with conscious thoughts. What we need to do is get to the root of any problem and that root does not lie in the conscious mind. The root of all trouble lies in the subconscious mind!

To eliminate a problem we need to kill the problem at its root within the subconscious mind - all the affirmations in the world will not do that and the frustration caused by consciously realising the affirmations you are mindlessly reciting are untrue will cause more trouble.

When you add to that the subconscious résistance you will encounter from reciting an affirmation which is clearly not based in reality you open up a whole world of trouble!

So what is the solution?

Well affirmations are not all bad. They do have their place on personal growth and self improvement. However, they should never be used in the traditional form because only about 1 or 2 % of the population gain anything worthwhile from using them that way and the rest of us have negative effects from using them!

When affirmations are used as a tool for growth or change they should only be used as a stimulant to change not to create that change itself.

When you recite an affirmation it is quite clear that what you are saying is not reality yet and your subconscious mind will let you know that through a myriad of negative thoughts, feelings and beliefs which it will immediately throw up into the conscious mind.

These are the very thoughts, feelings and beliefs that are stopping your affirmation from being true. Now that you have them in your conscious mind you can release them or let them go with a tool such as The Sedona Method.

When you release these negative from your mind you find that when you recite the affirmation again it actually feels more plausible!

This I sthe only use of affirmations as far as I am concerned - as a tool for weeding out negative programming. If you can get to a negative belief, dissect it and realise that it is not founded on truth but assumption then you can eliminate it.

Throughout the ancient world there were countless civilizations that used The Mystery School as a form of initiation through life. To progress to higher levels within a divine order or mystery school one had to partake of rituals and strange ceremonies that marked your progression.

 In the modern world these rites of passage are still marked and remembered in some esoteric circles such as The Rosicrucian Order.

 In many ways these rites can be likened to our own lives and the trials and initiations that we must face in our own personal and spiritual growth.

Just like the mystery schools would require an initiate to partake of ritual and perform some highly symbolic trials and acts so too in life you must encounter trials and tribulations in order to progress to the next level of initiation.

When we learn from the hardships that life throws our way we truly do grow in every respect as human beings. Think about it for a moment - have you ever had a really bad negative experience and not learned something from it?

We often say things like "I won't make that mistake again". This is a perfect verbal account of the learning processes that have taken place as a result of the experience we have been part of.

These learning experiences are merely outward expressions of some inner belief or inner turmoil that needs changed. When we do not directly attack the belief inside us I will express itself outwardly in physical form where we must deal with it.

If we learn our lesson we will not have to repeat the experience but if we don't learn from it the same thing will keep happening again and again. If you are continually experiencing the same challenges this may be the reason why!

Of course you can use tools such as The Sedona Method to eradicate a negative belief, negative thoughts, negative emotions and negative behaviours before they ever bring you an outward life-lesson. However, you will still go through the initiation stages of life - albeit with you guiding them and enjoying the things in life that you want.

Over the last 25 years I have truly discovered from experience that through perseverance any goal is attainable.

Sometimes our goals may change or even fall away but any reasonable goal that we truly want is attainable for us if we work towards it and we are open to learning new things.

Although goal-setting is not a new concept and has been around for thousands of years I believe that the average human being still does not fully understand how to us it. I mean question yourself for a few minutes - how many of your goals are your own?

We are given almost all our preferences by our parents and peers when we are small children and then walk around in adulthood until death claiming that they are our own. Sometimes these preferences have been forced upon us with such power that we consciously realise that we do not want them for ourselves - such as the son becoming a doctor to please his father or the daughter marrying a man in a pre-arranged marriage to please her family etc.

However, most times these preferences remain unnoticed consciously and our dislike for them and unconscious desire to stay away from them runs silently in the background of our minds.

Like computer viruses these negative thoughts and feelings will hamper any conscious effort made to attain a goal connected to them or worse you can actually attain the goal and spiral into depression when you realise it is making you miserable because it was never your desire to begin with!

Using tools such as The Sedona Method will help to alleviate any suffering caused from pursuing goals that were never your own and can also free up your mind and emotions so that you can openly and consciously pursue those desires that are truly meaningful to you.

I highly recommend you do some inner work and introspection before pursuing a goal and tehn once you identify something that you truly desire place all your energy into getting it!

The key to turning your goals into reality is to have some!

Now the above sentence may sound a little silly or even patronizing but let's face it very few people even know how to set goals let alone actually have any. When you ask people what they want they will moan endlessly about what they do not want.

They will tell you everything that doesn't work in their lives and never actually offer you any indication of what they do want. If you are like this you must stop now!

The law of attraction is real. Ok, it is only one of a multitude of other universal laws that work in harmony with one and other but it is a n important law all the same. If you don't work consciously with this law then it will operate unconsciously and most probably to your detriment.

The truth is we, as human beings on planet earth, are being programmed with negativity on a daily and consistent basis. In fact it is relentless! One would almost think it was deliberate!

Look at the news, websites and billboards. Listen to the radio, gossip or idle chit-chat and you will see and hear the negative mind chatter expressed outwardly - it is a constant drone of negative energy that is attacking you and your success at every level.

We are programmed to be negative at a subconscious level!

You must take responsibility for your life and your destiny by changing that subconscious programming. You must weed out the success destroyers that have been implanted into your brain like a computer virus.

Weed them out and destroy them!

 Obviously such personal development tools as The Sedona Method are invaluable fro doing this. However, you must also make a conscious effort to take charge opf your own mind. I know it can be difficult to regulate your thinking and consciously change old habits. This is why hypnosis and other mind altering tool shave been invented.

However, you are a spiritual being with unlimited power. You can call on that power at any point to change your habits and you do it through a simple decision. Decide now that you are going to do things differently. Make the decision that your life has already changed and watch as the universe conforms to you infinite will!

Transcendental meditation was first introduced by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1958 when he began a movement around the spiritual meditative practice.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was born and raised a Hindu in Indian but now resides in the Netherlands. Due to the powerful nature of this form of meditation millions of people around the globe are active practitioners in the meditative form and many Buddhist monks perform its practices daily.

Many people report that transcendental meditation can eliminate stress and free up repressed energy in the mind and body. This repressed energy can take the form of negative emotional memories.

Now as a student of personal growth and self improvement I know only too well what the effects of pent up negative emotional discord can do.

Negative repressed energy, in the form of emotionally disturbing memories both large and small, can affect just about every area of your life. In fact this energy is better described in terms of thought and emotion (although thought and emotion is a form of energy just as everything in this reality is).

When we repress the thoughts and emotions that disturb us or cause us discomfort they tend to "go underground" and take rot in the subconscious mind. If left unattended to they will gather like-minded thoughts and emotions around them as the natural course of events when we repress more emotions. These clusters of repressed thoughts and emotions form beliefs.

We all know that negative beliefs can be devastating to our lives!

So, I can only assume that transcendental meditation, if it works, must be a positive force for eliminating these negatives from mind and body.

By releasing pent up, repressed emotions, and the thoughts associated with them, the beliefs that were formed by these repressed feelings naturally dissipate and dissolve into nothing.

Thus we become free to experience reality as it is and not through the murky filters of those negative beliefs.

It is interesting to note that the Holosync meditation is said to create the same effects (brainwave states) as transcendental meditation in the mind of the listener and therefore the claims made by its creator Bill Harris may well be true!

Is there a science of attraction?

Now I am not talking about the law of attraction at least not as it usually applies to personal development. I am referring to the type of attraction that leads to the creation of babies!

Some people claim that attraction starts in the mind. This of course is something that I wholeheartedly agree with because as far as spiritual teachings are concerned everything starts in the mind.

However, attraction is also a biological reaction is it not?

Well according to evolutionalists it is. Therefore we may assume that we have no, or little , choice about who we are attracted to. Right?

Well according to psychologists it is a little more complicated than that!

You see there are evolutionary reasons fro being attracted to a member of the opposite sex. Men are attracted to women who appear youthful and vibrant with wide hips and large breasts because they have a higher chance of bearing strong children to continue his DNA.

Women are attracted to men who are forceful, confident and leaders because they offer the chance of greater protection and are more likely to be a more proficient provider.

These attraction switches in heterosexual men and women are fixed for the most part and are hardwired into our brains. We react to certain biological signals that tell us we have found a potential partner who has high value as a mate.

However, this is merely the animalistic part of our nature. We have evolved as a species to have a high level of communicative ability and therefore although we are subject to the primitive urges of our brains there are other psychological considerations that have an effect on our levels of attractiveness for another person.

The thing is though, these psychological factors that are driven by form s of communication, both verbal and non-verbal, are still interpreted by the brain as being merely cues (or clues) that point to the base animalistic attraction factors mentioned easier.

So what does all this mean and what use is it to us?

Well it means that if communication plays a huge role in attraction - because it indicates to the primitive part of the brain that we either conform to an attractive stereotype and are therefore a potential mate or that we do not conform and are therefore not a potential mate - we can deliberately manipulate our communications to send out the correct signal.

To sum-up the above paragraph is layman terms - it means we can say and do things that will make us more attractive to the opposite sex!

The science of this assertion is sound. However, finding a working formula for using it is another thing entirely. If you are interested in finding out more I would suggest you visit pick up artists and flirting tips for girls.

A lot has been written about binaural beat technology both good and bad. I have personally found it to be amazing although the use of isochronic tones is becoming very popular because they do not require headphones.

Isochronic tones are difficult t get hold of though especially those ones that have been made for specific purposes. This is not the case with binaural beats.

There are a myriad of binaural beats download sites that offer you everything from the experience of a natural high to deep relation, lucid dreaming and even astral travel.

These beats have become so popular, due to their effectiveness, that you can a binaural download to help you with just about any self improvement problem you have. It seems that if there is a hypnosis session for it then you will be able to find a binaural mp3 download that does the same thing!

It is possible to get your hands on some free binaural downloads, but, with the exception of the one listed below, these are usually inferior to their paid counterparts.

The best binaural beats downloads are those that are geared towards changing your inner state as they can quickly alter your brainwaves and thus have a very profound effect on your mind and body quite quickly (usually within a minute or two).

Therefore if you have a problem sleeping, wish to visualize more clearly, want to evoke some inspiration or a creative vision etc., a good quality appropriate  binaural beat download will do the job very efficiently!

Rather than getting some binaural downloads you can also search the internet for brainwave software that lets you create your own binaural recordings.

Of course you can easily incorporate some binaural beat downloads into your current self hypnosis cds with the use of some free mixing software available on the internet. Don't be afraid to experiment with this technology with yourself improvement tools as it can be very effective at strengthening and personal development products you are already using.

If you would like a high quality digital example of binaural beats by using a fully functional "manifestation" session you can get a free binaural beat download when you sign up to our newsletter.

A lot is said about limiting beliefs. Many self improvement and self help gurus argue that to reach your goals you must ensure you remove all negative and limiting beliefs that are holding you back from achieving your goals.

Because of this many people, even personal development devotees, believe that limiting beliefs only really hinder us when we are actively seeking some type of achievement or goal-attainment. This could not be further from the truth.

Many of us are living our lives by these limiting beliefs!

Every one of us lives on automatic pilot most of the day. It is just the way we are, as human beings, designed. IF we had to consciously think about everything we were doing it would take an eternity to do a simple task and not a lot would get done.

When we perform n action or set of actions enough times these actions get programmed into the subconscious mind and become like second nature to us. 

When this happens our behaviours for those tasks become automatic as the subconscious mind takes over the performing of those tasks. 

It is very like a computer. Think of your mind as a computer and your automatic behaviours, thoughts, feelings and beliefs as programs that run your computer.

All your mental programs are subconscious sin nature. They need to be for you to function properly in the world. Because your programs are subconscious and thus 99% of your behaviour is subconscious the limited resources of your conscious mind a freed-up to analyse things happening around you in the moment.

Problems arise however when these automatic subconscious programs get infected by a virus or string of viruses. These insidious viruses disrupt the proper functioning of your subconscious programs and create havoc in your life.

Like a computer that will not operate correctly or gives you the wrong output when you type something into it or try to access a program or computer application so too do your automatic behaviours, thoughts, feelings and beliefs get screwed up when you have mental viruses.

These viruses are of course negative or limiting beliefs!

They must be rooted out and eliminated one and for all if you want your life to start working. The great thing is you were born to work perfectly and so was your mind. If you just remove the viruses your mind will naturally work correctly and attract everything you want and need effortlessly.
