Though I knew a lot about the effects of mind over body, I couldn’t help it, that’s when I discovered about this type of meditation.

Guided meditation can be done with a help of a mentor or by listening to a recorded CD.

If you have enough time by all means practice guided meditation with a mentor.

A mentor or guru is aware of some bumps that you may encounter on the road of mediation and can help your mind travel seamlessly to higher consciousness.

Whether you decide to lead a spiritual life or not listening to a guided meditation CD can reduce the stress you experience everyday.

When we get stressed, our breathing rate shoots up and we continue to take shallow breaths. This is very bad if done on a continual basis.

By using guided meditation you will have more awareness on how you breathe and how you think.

Being aware of yourself is the first step to reduce stress. If you don’t know if you are stressed out or not, how do you think you can take steps to reduce it?

Living a ’stress-free life’ is a dream for many people. But, we cannot go around the world wearing a big smile on our face everyday. There are always things and people that will make us feel frustrated. Tools like guided meditation can significantly reduce the level of stress we experience during that period.

Guided mediation is specifically helpful for people who are new to meditation. Many people complain that they are not able to concentrate while sitting to meditate. A guided meditation overcomes this problem by giving clear instructions to follow so that you don’t have to come up with ways to silence the distractions.

Guided meditation CDs often have some soothing music(without lyrics) playing in the background. It has been proven that listening to soothing music releases some pleasure inducing chemicals in our brains so that’s an added plus of a guided meditation.

The Richest Man in Babylon is written by George S Clason. This book teaches sound financial principles in the form of parables.

Once upon a time, Babylon was the wealthiest city in the world and the people of Babylon were enterprising individuals who built the city employing ingenious methods in spite of lack of natural resources.

Though a city might be called the ‘wealthiest city’ it doesn’t necessarily mean that all the individuals are equally wealthy.

Based on this premise this story is written.

Two people set out to find how the rich people make money. They seek counsel of a wealthy man in the city. They find that the wealthy man to be generous fellow willing to share his secrets of getting rich.

The wealthy man speaks to a large group of people who are desperate to find answers for their financial problems. He gives them 7 sound financial principles to follow in order to make, keep and multiply their money.

The beauty of these principles is that they are still relevant today. If you decide to get this book do not read it like a story book. This is a mistake I made when I read ‘The Greatest Salesman in the World’ by OG MANDINO. It was in story form and I read it as a story instead of looking at it as a philosophy – a way of life.

If you want to get the most out of Richest Man in Babylon take your time and study every page carefully and as you read every chapter think what is the unspoken message in that lesson. I’m sure you will find this experience valuable and rewarding. You will also begin to notice some changes in the way you handle your finances. After you read this book, you will never see money as papers and coins but as diligent servants that can serve you to build a fortune.

The story starts as Bansir – a chariot maker stares at a half-completed chariot. He is wondering about the ways he will be able to provide for his family in future. While he is deeply engrossed in his thoughts, his friend, a musician comes along and requests Bansir to lend him some money. The musician is surprised to find that Bansir himself is suffering from lack of money. In an effort to find answers to how they can become wealthy they seek the council of Arkad, who is the richest man in Babylon during that period. The rest of the book is how Arkad and his students brainstorm about how to keep, make and multiply money.

This book is highly recommended if you are looking for ways to improve your finances. Its a good idea to avoid reading any counterproductive philosophies until you have learned and applied the principles of The Richest Man in Babylon.

Its interesting to note that one of America’s greatest motivational speaker Jim Rohn always suggested people to keep a journal. He credits his habit of keeping a journal as one of the major reasons for his success.

Here’s a list of ten reasons to keep a journal

Serves as a personal record
A journal serves as a personal record of what you are doing in your life. It can be a ready reference to see what you have done on a particular day.

Improves your Focus
It lets you see where you are focusing your time and energy and helps you to improve focus on things that are essential to your success

Identify Time Leaks
Its ok to mindlessly spend some time on a day, but its not ok to do it everyday. By keeping a journal you will be able to identify the time leaks and remove the time wasters from your routine.

Improves Self-esteem
Keeping a journal is an indirect way of improving self-esteem. Imagine, 2 years from now you are looking at your journal and you find hundreds of valuable nuggets recorded inside. How will it make you feel? Wouldn’t you feel more valuable? Wouldn’t you feel that you have some valuable information to offer to the world?

Key to Better Health
By recording information about nutrition and exercises you will have a collection of tips that will help you to lead a healthy life style.

Better Financial Decisions
By looking at a past financial decision you made you can figure out how its affecting your life now. which will help you to take better financial decisions in future.

Yardstick for progress
If you are like most people you are going through life without stopping to think where you are going. A journal can help you to see whether you are making progress or not. As you reflect more on where you are going, you can make better decisions in future.

Key Takeaways
Jim Rohn used to say “Most people get through the day but Instead we should try to get from the day” A journal can help you to record the lessons you learned during the day.

Improves Self-awareness
Recording important events can help you spot new opportunities and to act on them quickly. You will be more aware of what is going on in the world and how its affecting your life.

A gift for the next generation
Just like a good book a journal can be a great thing to pass on to the next generation. In fact, a journal of an individual can teach more valuable lessons than any best selling self-help book.

I hope you found this information valuable and if you haven’t started already its time to start your own journal.

Here’s a tip if you are concerned about privacy issues, you can write your journal in Microsoft Word and have it password-protected or if you are on Mac try Google Docs.

The good news is that no matter how hopeless it seems you may be able to make it work for you. The best way to test a method is to try it for yourself and a few minutes spent on a method that has worked for thousands of others is not a bad thing to do.

These tips have helped many people to fix the problems when trying to make the Law of attraction work. It can help you too. Some of the tips may seem odd , but they’re not. Just follow the steps and you will have a very good chance of attracting things in your life.

Another word of warning, don’t expect this to happen quickly. It will take anywhere from several days to several weeks and I know you are in a hurry to see the results but think about it if this is your first experience with LOA, all these days your mind has been programmed in a different way

So it takes several reinforcements to change the pattern. If you dig deeper in to what makes people successful you will see that winners think and do things differently. But you do know that ‘doing’ comes after ‘thinking’ don’t you?

So, basically what LOA does is, it changes your thinking pattern. It lets you to see beyond limitations. It helps you to dream bigger and activates your mind to come up with ideas.

In the book Rich Dad Poor Dad Robert talks about two types of statements. When you cannot afford a thing are you saying ‘I can’t afford it’ or are you asking yourself ‘How can I afford it?’ The former closes your thinking capabilities the latter pushes your brain to come up with solutions.

This is what LOA does but subtly. You won’t understand ‘how’ and ‘why’ it causes changes in your life circumstances. But if you are like me you are more concerned about the results than the inner workings of a system.

This reminds me of the experience I went through when I called Dell to order my computer. The technician asked me what amount of memory, RAM and type of processor I wanted but I simply said “I want a system that will let me check my emails and browse some websites” I also mentioned that I don’t use any graphic applications he took care of the rest and suggested the system that was right for me. See I didn’t know what type of RAM or memory will meet my requirements but I knew exactly ‘what I wanted’.

This is the most important concept of LOA. You must be clear on ‘what you want’ Again the question is not ‘what you want is plausible or not’ it is simply ‘what do you want?’. If you are honest with yourself you wouldn’t ask for impossible things but you would ask for things that are ’seemingly impossible’. For instance, you wouldn’t say I want to be the president of United States but you might say you want to be an author of a best selling book, or a multi-millionaire or you want to start a company.

He then began experimenting with brain waves and found that the alpha wave pattern was helpful in making decisions, healing and improving psychic abilities.

Our brains waves vibrate at Beta level when we are wide awake. By using a special form of meditation we can make the mind to vibrate at the alpha level.

This has been proven by taking EEG scans of meditators who practice the Silva mind control technique.

Recently, I attended a workshop where I got a chance to listen to the silva mind control guided meditation CDs.

It took place in a large auditorium. We were given white robes and there were around 150 participants in the program.

The instructors gave an introductory speech for a few minutes. Then we were given some brouchers and notepad. After lunch break it was time for alpha meditaion.

First we were asked to take some deep breaths

Then the instructor asked us to concentrate on different parts of the body starting from scalp moving down to face, neck, chest, abdomen, thighs, calf muscle and finally ending with toes.

We were asked to feel the warmth caused by blood circulation in each part of our bodies then we were instructed to release the ligament pressure from those areas.

Once we were done with releasing pressure from the entire body the instructor counted from 1 to 5 and with each count we went deeper and deeper inside our minds

After the count of 5 he reminded us that this is the ‘alpha state’ and asked us to make a note of this state.

In NLP its is called ’setting triggers’ on a mind state so that whenever we want to call that state we can use a ‘word’ or a ‘gesture’ like snapping our fingers to get in to that state.

After setting the trigger, the instructor counted upwards from 5 to 1 and brought us to our normal waking state.

We also did some mental movie techniques and psychic abilities mediation during the two day workshop. I met some people who were doing this for years. One great take away from this workshop was I can now instantly go to sleep anytime I want. It used to take at least 25-30 minutes for me to go to sleep. But now it hardly takes 2-3 minutes I strat the alpha meditation before I could even complete the whole procedure I’m in deep sleep.

If you want to experience it yourself you can get those CDs at Jose De Silva’s website or checkout at amazon.

He found that the words used in prayers were suggestions to our own subconscious mind. Suggestions are a way to impress ideas in subconscious mind.

Napolean Hill in his book “Think and Grow Rich” talks about the ‘power of subconscious mind’ as having the capability to connect with the infinite source of intelligence.

Many healings and super natural feats are performed by using the power of subconscious mind. You may be surprised to know that an Indian yogi underwent an abdomen operation with his eyes wide open. Later when he was asked how he could do that he said “I just gave a suggestion to my mind to avoid concentrating on that area”.

A  mind that is trained by meditation and yoga becomes a powerful source for creating miracles.

Many creative works are channeled through the infinite intelligence. Some mind control experts suggest that what we call ‘infinite intelligence’ is our own storehouse of vast information stored in the form of text, pictures and feelings stored in our own subconscious mind.

But how come we get ideas that are not related to what we have in that vast storehouse?

It happens by ‘connecting the dots’ a mix of two totally unrelated ideas can give birth to a new one that has no relation to either one of those ideas

Healing power of subconscious mind

The healing power of subconscious mind is demonstrated by the ‘placebo effect’. During a research, patients who were given sugar pills disguised as ‘pain killers’ reported reduction in pain. Their subconscious mind accepted these pills as having the ability to reduce pain that helped in release of certain chemicals in the body that reduced the pain.

There has been many instances of subconscious mind coming to the aid of people to overcome seemingly impossible difficulties. From my own experience I know that there is some power in the subconscious mind. I have used it to heal burns and minor ailments without taking any medication. However I do not suggest you should attempt to use it for healing. But I do recommend that you use it as a ’support’ for a speedy recovery.

Did you know anything you say can be coming from any of the above sates.
If you ask someone “How’s the weather?” you are speaking from an adult ego state.
If you are looking at an attractive car and saying “I wish I had it” you are speaking from a child ego state.
Or
Lets say  you are telling one of your colleagues “Kristi! I told you don’t do that please” you are speaking from a parental ego state.
Mis-communication occurs when there is a mix up of ego states. For instance, if you are speaking from your parental ego state and they are responding from an adult state, you might see that the communication is not flowing smoothly. You might even think the other person doesn’t like you.
The key to effective communication is understanding the ‘ego state of the receiver’ and tailor your words and phrases accordingly.
This is all fine and dandy when you are communicating with one person. But, what if you are communicating with a group of people?. How do you make use of TA?
There you need to consider the ‘collective ego state’ of the group.
Though a group is a set of individuals with different character attributes they have a collective ego.
For instance, freshmen, employees of XYZ corporation, History teachers, so on and so forth.

You need to decode the characteristics of how a typical representative of that group will think and communicate accordingly.

Understanding transactional analysis will not only help you to reduce conflicts but also helps you to build harmonious relationships with your friends. I suggest you read Eric D Berne’s book ‘Born to Win’ if you want to learn more about transactional analysis.

If you feel that your memory is failing you, then it can be comforting to know that  the information you store in your brain is not lost, but its a simple problem of retrieval. There are several ways to improve memory here you will find some proven methods of training your memory so that it serves you with facts and figures at the right time.

Concentration
When you want to remember what you are studying or listening you need to get rid of distractions and pay full attention to the subject matter. Its easy to
get sidetracked through word associations. A word like ‘Dinner’ that you encounter in a book can bring up some thoughts like ‘what you had for dinner’,'where you are likely to have dinner today’ so on and so forth. When it happens pull back your mind and focus on the subject.

Repetition:
Repetition works for details like passwords, ATM PINS. By repeating the numbers and letters several times you will be able to transfer the details from short term to long term memory. Its a good idea to deliberately recall the password or PIN from time to time.

Discretion:
You need to be discreet in what you store in your brain. If you cloud your brain with irrelevant facts recalling important information can become a tiresome fact. In fact, in the book ‘A Study in Scarlet’  Sir Arthur Canon Doyle gives a beautiful description of why discretion is important when it comes to storing information. Here’s a passage from that book

“”You see,” he explained, “I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skillful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.”

There are other techniques like forming a story or abbreviation to remember facts but its important that you don’t forget the story or the abbreviation. These methods can work if you want to use it for short term purposes like in an interview or public speaking engagement. Anyway keep in mind that memory loss can be prevented by training your mental faculties. If you want an all round development of mental faculties checkout the Pelmanism course.
