Easy ways to find inner peace.One of man’s current troubles is to come up of ways on how to lessen the stress in their lives without having to spend too much money or too much time in the process. In our busy lives, we often encounter a lot bumps that create greater tension and hinder us from doing our best. A way of finding the secrets to relaxation is trying the reiki technique.

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique to relieve the body from stress and create a better flow of energy. Its purpose is to create less tension in the body and even promote healing. This technique aims to treat the whole body of the person; this includes one’s emotion, mind and spirit. A creation of wholeness carries along many benefits because there is a feeling of peace inside and less body aches outside. Reiki has a way of thinking that if an individual’s “life force energy” is high, then we are more capable of being normal and healthy and also develop a feeling of happiness rather than having a low “life force energy” that explains our stress and body pain.

A person is often even more stressed on how to do this but it is really just a basic practice of treating our body well. For example, the act of meditation. One form of meditation is expressed in Zazen and Vipassana where it centers on formal sitting, the aim is to practice proper breathing while keeping the body immobile and the attention of the person controlled. It is an easy way to keep peace inside yourself while working outwards on how the tension on your body is removed. Meditation also concentrates on how the person thinks; it could be an expressive practice where the body is free to do anything while the mind aims to have positive perspective with the things happening around.

If a person however has trouble with starting in their mental state, they may choose to begin in their physical state. A popular form is massage, where the body is set to unwind and different areas are relieved out of tension by applying just the right amount of pressure. The aim of a good massage is causing the body to feel loose and thus leading the mind that there is no more pain to think about.

As said earlier, massage is about making the body loose and less tense by applying pressure. The hands, feet, fingers, forearms and elbows of the person can be used to apply pressure, but the person should preferably be a massage therapist. Since a massage therapist is already well oriented on what areas of the body need pressure, it will have a better effect and prevent the individual from feeling more tension caused by wrong methods of massage.

There are simple and easy ways to feel better. Whether we choose to start from our physical pain moving inward or create an inner balance in ourselves and move outward. Various methods will help us get through every back-breaking day with ease and comfort.

Aromatherapy is a good way to improve the life of all individuals. The key is to ensure that the aromatherapy is customized according to the needs and wants of the individual. An aromatherapy practitioner will be able to identify the blend of essential oils that will create the desired results. Whether an individual seeks stress and pain relief, beautification and cleansing, or general relaxation aromatherapy can be a great tool to improve your life

When you feel excessive stress, aromatherapy will assist in the in the relaxation of the mind, body, and spirit. It is recommended that aromatherapy be used in conjunction with healthy living, essential time management, and a network of support. Implement into this lifestyle blends that encourage happiness, offer calm and help create serenity; and ease anxiety, anger and panic attacks.

These blends can created in bath salts, bath oils, air fresheners, diffusers, and massage oils. Diffusers spread the aroma of the essential oils around allowing you to inhale them throughout the day. You may also find aromatherapy preparations which can be applied directly to the skin. Aromatherapy brings stress relief and sense of well-being.

Essential oils can also be beneficial in weight loss. The scent of vanilla infused candles has been shown to reduce cravings for sweets. Inhaling patchouli seems to lessen hunger. Both of these methods can lead to weight loss.

If you feel insecurity is to blame for your weight gain, try inhaling bergamot and jasmine. This is said to help boost confidence. The best blend is 16 drops of bergamot to 4 drops of jasmine. This can be mixed aind disseminated in your diffuser. If you want extra benefits, add 4 drops of veviter.

It is common as you age, that new body aches and pains sneak up on us. Fortunately, these aches and pains can be eased with aromatherapy blends in massage oils, skin lotions, and booboo juice. You can purchase a ready-made aromatherapy remedy for aches and pains or create your own. For an ideal massage oil, mix an ounce of your favorite carrier oil with 10 drops of a pleasant essential oil. Use the mixture to rub and soothe away aches and pains wherever they occur on your body.

It should come as no surprise that aromatherapy has been used in skin care for years. It is a natural approach to a fresh, youthful look. You can make your own natural skin products from shampoos and conditioners, to facial toners and moisturizers. Mouthwash, lotion, nail care, perfumes, and cologne can all be made using the soothing aroma and benefits of essential oils.

Most of us have been taught to curse our physical symptoms and to get rid of them through surgery or medication or to deny or cope with them. Doing this sends messages to ourselves that say “You’re not important.” or “This organ or breast isn’t needed.” We tell ourselves we don’t have time to feel, grieve or heal naturally. However, if we can see our first symptoms as inherent messengers, we can learn natural remedies to prevent many of our health-related issues. Our bodies tell the truth. We can learn how our emotions manifest as physical challenges.

When you look at yourself in the mirror, you may recognise that your own emotional pain as a “physical art form,” and that it will transform before you and your body will heal a devastating disease. Personally and by the age of 35, I felt comfortable in my new clothes, home and car. Many different companies hired me to help them with their business problems, and I would normally work at least 14 hours a day.

Then one day it was all over. I was in a specialist’s office being diagnosed with rosacea, an incurable, deforming, disfiguring facial skin disease. Treating myself like an infallible machine had caught up with me. The disease had no mercy as it continued to worsen for the next six years. I spent all my financial resources going from medical specialists to naturopathic practitioners, in my heart begging to understand how my immune system could heal and repair.

I concluded that the body is a natural system, so I chose to avoid medications. Fifty doctors later, I was still searching for those same answers. I was determined to prove that the inherent intelligence within me knew how to heal me, after six years I began to doubt my core belief.

By the time I had reached 40, my skin was red and looked inflamed, and I would need to rid myself of boils on a daily basis. Also, the sight was going in my eyes and I could not read or drive any longer. This made a huge impact on the dreams I had about travelling and seeing the world, and I came to realise why people actually take their own lives because of the pain they are going through.

A few years later I went to visit a Chinese doctor who diagnosed me with something different from the other physicians. He believed the disease was not simply just my face, but included the natural biological rhythms of my body being out of harmony. He said this resulted in my face being directly affected due to emotional fear and stress. Also, he saw other signs that my body was exhausted when he examined me. He said that my body looked frail, and that I should find peace at whatever price. I was so glad that he had given me a different opinion.

I started emotional therapy, first addressing the fears that had consumed me since my diagnoses, and then going further back into my past. I began to face my work addiction (workaholic: one who works often while physically exhausted and emotionally empty.) Denying stress and personal needs had become a way of life. My false feeling of worthiness and internal need to always be needed had pushed this addiction forward. I had a compulsion to stay busy and numb out, serving out of exhaustion had caused me to feel angry and resentful at my own behavior. I had served others for years at my own expense until my body as my friend stopped me.

After sharing my story for over a year, after crying and trying to release pent-up emotions and an addiction to work in the local community I came across a miracle. I healed physically without scars and the sight in my eyes returned to normal. I had been on a healthy diet and exercise regularly for years which helped my body in the transformation. It was a program that I had worked out for myself that helped my body heal naturally and I did not have to take medications.

Meditation Cds and mp3 tracks are getting very popular and you can see why. They allow us to fit the benefits of meditation into our busy lives and with virtually no effort.

Stress is one of the biggest causes of lost work days, being linked with both psychological and physical illnesses. In the current economic climate, the stress is only increasing and it even more important to be seen to be on top of our jobs.

Meditation can be a great way to wind down from the pressures of life but it takes up time that few of us have. Plus, being under stress in the first place makes the calming meditative state difficult to achieve.

But technology has come to our rescue with meditation audio tracks. Available either on CD or as mp3 downloads, they can make meditation quick and easy.

Binaural beat technology is the answer. Playing different sounds into each ear causes the brain to generate an electrical signal whose frequency is the difference between the original two sounds.

This entrainment process has been known and safely used for many years. Your brain reaches deep meditation states that could take years of practice to achieve and are hard to maintain by normal methods.

Pleasant music or relaxing sounds mask the tones. You can choose to pay attention to these or to mentally tune them out. You can use the time for some quiet reflection.

Meditation mp3 and CDs come in different lengths and prices. Some are designed to deal with specific issues. Deep meditation is available at the touch of a button. Relaxation is quick and easy.

Meditation has its origins in Eastern culture, but it has been practiced for centuries in cultures all over the world. Meditation refers to a large variety of practices and techniques and includes guided meditation, transcendental meditation and mindful meditation practice. Many different techniques can be used, such as the focus of the mind on certain objects or words, or on the breath. Sometimes a particular posture can be used but isn’t necessary.

It’s easy to learn meditation, there’s no special equipment involved, and it can be done almost anyplace. The benefit of stress reduction may be experienced after only one session. Most research has found that just 20 minutes a day can result in the long-term benefits attributed to meditation. In fact, only 10 minutes of practice a few times a week can create the same effect.

Regular meditation can have positive impact on both physiological and psychological health. The alpha state can be achieved through meditation, and this is the brainwave state associated with the level of consciousness that encourages healing. Meditation can be used as a relaxation technique, but it also enhances mental sharpness, psychological health, the treatment of diseases, and overall health of mind and body.

Researchers have found that meditation acts on the parts of the brain controlling the autonomic nervous system that is in charge of involuntary functions of the body like digestion or blood pressure. These functions can be inhibited by stress, so meditation can help with stress-related conditions like digestive problems or heart disease.

In one study that was published in Psychosomatic Medicine, there were 90 cancer patients who practiced mindful meditation for a period of seven weeks. At the end of this time, the patients in the study reported that they had much less depression, confusion, anxiety and anger. They also reported having higher energy levels and not as many heart and gastrointestinal issues.

At the Maharishi School of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, researchers studied a group or people who meditated for four months. They discovered that the participants had lower levels of cortisol, which is also known as the stress hormone, and were able to deal with stress in their lives better.

Research can help confirm some of what we know about, but there are obviously many benefits we can claim without research. Meditation offers benefits to almost everyone, and has no reported ill effects.

Are you aware that DNA Awakening has a positive influence on your karmic imprints?

Karmic imprints are morphogenetic crystallization of low vibrating, negative thought pattern, emotions and behavior. The miasma or karmic imprints manifest themselves within the physical three dimensional bodies as electrical charged anti-particles, which prevent the natural function of the body and soul merger, and as a result blocks dimensional ascension. DNA Awakening erases the buildup of Miasmic Crystals, within the morphogenetic field, DNA, physical body and consciousness. DNA Awakening is a powerful tool to erase the karmic burden, which builds up from one lifetime to another, and sabotages the natural evolutionary process, blocking the process of Soul and Over-Soul integration.

Our Karma, which is the accumulation of the miasmic crystals within the morphogenetic field and DNA, is called miasmic imprint. You have to realize the important effect of karma in our life. Our life is the holographic projection of the build up miasmic imprints from negative thought and behavior pattern, which manifest in our body, mind and finally experienced reality, which we call life. The DNA Awakening process, which can be accomplished through different techniques, such as sound waves, specific frequencies used by binaural sounds, hypnosis or DNA Healing transmutes the karmic imprints to allow higher embodiment and Dimensional Ascension to take place. Transmutation of the Miasmic Body is achieved by reversing the polarity charge of its crystallization, and merging its tiny-particles within the morphogenetic field and DNA. Finally, the karmic ballast will be transmuted into higher dimensional light and sound. DNA Awakening’s ultimate purpose is the way back to Dimensional Ascension – back to the Source.

Balancing or dissolving karma can be achieved in various ways. The conventional method is walk the karma and make more appropriate choices in this life time, which serves to heal the karmic issue and dissolve the associated Miasmic imprint, which as your reality projection manifests in the 3-dimensional life. Unfortunately, the buildup of the Miasmic Body, in most humans, is so convoluted that the issues upon which better choices could be made are rarely clear or same disharmonic response patterns are repeated. The reason is the huge collection of Miasmic imprint on the mental and emotional bodies. A second method of dissolving the Karma is to trace back the present life drama to its original incarnation point of creation, then apply visualization methods. The purpose is to create the opposite version, inducing an harmonic action that was taken in the past. This constitutes healing the present by changing the morphogenetic program of the past, as it is stored in the DNA. The fastest, most gentle way of dissolving the miasmic imprint is dealing with the imprint directly as energy, with energy, using a DNA Awakening technique to reverse the polarity of the miasmic anti-particles, through which their crystallization dissolve, then re-directing the re-ordered energy back into the DNA. With DNA Awakening, the Karma can be cleared in one lifetime, without walking through the Karma of the past, if the dynamic of Miasmic release through DNA Awakening of the morphogenetic field is understood.

The lure of going herbal and natural is attracting many people from many different walks of life. For whatever reason, people do find benefits in these so called forms of Alternative Medicine.

The lure even defies what western media has long maintained as unproven and unbacked by medical studies the claims of those who swear by the efficacy of alternative medicine.

Those who continue to adhere to alternative medicine point to its advantages over conventional means of therapy. Going natural, they say, has its distinct advantages.

Alternative medicine has debunked that myth.Effective medication can be affordable and accessible to the common consumer.

Alternative medicine in the eyes of modern medicine, is a non-conventional approach to healing as it involves practices that are generally not acknowledged by the modern medical field.

Here is a hint – look at the sponsors. Those TV shows, the tabloids, dailies, radio shows, etc. These are most likely the people who have a rein as to what is ferreted out to the public and what needs to be covered in the name of their interests.

Aside from being cheap, people turn to alternative medicine because they work as proven by their efficacy over a long period of historical use. The top three reasons why many people turn to natural remedies are:

1. See no evil

2. They are cheaper

2. It gives us hope

Money talks indeed and enough money can shut out the truth, at least, in one part of the globe.

Alternative medicine is allowing nature to heal itself. It puts the power of healing on our own body. It believes that the body has the capacity to heal itself.

Let us take a serious look at why you should consider giving alternative medicine a chance to prove they are worthy:

1. All natural means having no side effects.

1. Effectiveness proven over time.

2. Practitioners who take time to learn more about your problem.

4. All natural ingredients means no secret recipe or unnamed chemicals.

5. Alternative medicine is backed by tradition and history. It is proven by time and age old practice.

7. Gives us hope.

Going natural is said to be personal approach to healing. Alternative medicine seeks to reestablish how you were when you were healthy.

Let us give alternative medicine the kind of respect it deserves. It has been with us longer than modern medicine.

Weird, doesn’t even begin to describe this, when you think about it. It was a little more than three weeks before her wedding and Jeannie G. , the bride-to-be and a doctor of Oriental medicine, called one of her girlfriends, Rudi, in desperation saying, “Tell your boyfriend I’ve got a problem and I need to speak with him”.

Rudi’s live in boyfriend was a doctor of holistic health — power of mind — hypnotherapy and was fairly well known for having unique abilities. When he arrived at Jeannie’s home, it was fairly obvious from glancing around her studio apartment that she lived a rather simple life and that she too was holy in her own metaphysical way.

She definitely didn’t practice any of the main religions but was certainly a believer in the natural sciences, the unusual, the abstract and the holistic. As Jeannie and the doctor began to talk, the bride-to-be explained that she had a problem which she feared would prevent her wedding night from being everything she hoped it would be.

Traumatized by being raped when she was young, Jeannie had developed a boil at the entrance to her vagina. The doctor recorded some simple hypnotic suggestions incorporating a few post-hypnotic instructions for the boil to open naturally – and also cleanse naturally – from sitz baths. This meant Jeannie should then be able to enjoy the honeymoon she hoped for.

The doctor asked her if he could inspect her bath tub to see if it was suitable for sitz baths. Unfortunately, she didnt have a bathtub and the doctor could see that the bathroom sink was too small for her task. And so, our bride-to-be was advised to undertake 21 days of bathing her bottom in the kitchen sink using hot water, Epsom salts and herbs, at the same time listening to a hypnosis tape which the doctor would record for her which, had a backdrop of relaxing music.

Three weeks later, the boil opened, drained and normalized right on schedule ” the day before the wedding, and then disappeared. Jeannie was an acupuncturist and her partner, Jim, was a home builder. He was a few years younger than her but they appeared to be very happy and had many friends who all came along to the wedding.

The ceremony was held in Santa Fe, at one of the homes of a wealthy friend and was performed by a minister; a woman who, to this holistic doctor at least, appeared to be a Wiccan (pagan) minister. But, who was he to judge? He was weird, himself.

The ceremony was tranquil and beautiful. It had been carefully arranged around pagan beliefs so that the beauty of nature was truly celebrated, while at the same time addressing the legal terms to meet the state laws.

And, it completed with a practice that the doctor hadn’t seen before. A dictionary was passed around the guests in order that each of them select a single word which they felt encapsulated their own, unique feeling of the moment of marriage.

On a lone couch, sitting next to one of Jeannie’s friends and her dog, sat the doctor in a purple satin shirt. From his appearance, he had obviously been busy decorating and doing some paint touchups earlier that day and he had rushed to get to the wedding ceremony on time.

His shirt was freshly pressed, but he hadn’t had time to trim his beard. He definitely needed to clean up but he was running late. He focused on the ceremony and then the time came for him to find his word in the dictionary.

He opened the book “he took his index finger, closed his eyes, and pointed at a word. He heard ‘click, click’. He moved his eyes from the word to the bride, who had just taken his picture. To this day he doesn’t remember the word he chose because he just grabbed the dictionary, opened it on a random page, closed his eyes and let his finger choose a word.

He opened his eyes. The bride looked at the word he had chosen and smiled. The doctor left the ceremony soon after the champagne toasts and returned to his own home.

The morning after, the bride came rushing over to the doctor’s home with a look of amazement on her face. In her hand, she was holding the photo proofs of the wedding day and she showed them to the doctor and his girlfriend. ‘You have to see this’, she gasped. The couple took the photo proof and looked in astonishment — there, around the doctors head, was a golden halo. The doctor left the room forlornly and entered the next room alone.

For years he had struggled to become a holy man, a good man, a good therapist and a healer. Once in the next room he got on his knees and prayed, God, I hope that you give me strength to live up to this. The bride left the photos with him and went home. The good doctor went to his office down on St. Francis Drive to await a patient and to think about what had occurred.

He didn’t sleep well at all that night. What had God planned for him in his life? He couldn’t be frightened or curious for long though because the next day at 11 am the new bride called him and said, I have an emergency. I need your help.

Immediately, he changed into a white outfit with white sneakers, put on his glasses, combed his hair and brushed his newly trimmed beard while he awaited the Jeannies’ arrival. When she arrived, she was very anxious and said, ‘my minister is in a coma. She was diagnosed with pneumonia the day after the ceremony and they took her to the hospital against her will’. These story continued that the hospital doctors gave her IV antibiotic medication but she told them when she was admitted that she was allergic.

By now, she had fallen into an allergic coma, her vitals are not stable and the doctors feel she won’t make it through the night. The doctor remained calm and said, Lets go! As they drove down to the Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque, he meditated and when they entered the hospital he prayed that he could help.

When Jeannie and the doctor arrived at the minister’s room, the situation was bleak. Her husband was there and the hospital staff was frantically pumping shots and monitoring every few minutes. Her vitals were deteriorating. The ministers husband, crying, said, “she’s leaving us and we need her so much”. The doctor calmed the situation and said, I need peace and silence. The ministers’ husband left the room, leaving only the doctor, Jeannie and the patient inside. The husband blocked the door from the outside and wouldn’t let anyone at all enter ” not even the hospital staff who was already screaming, and threatening to bring security.

The holistic doctor whispered to Jeannie “please shut the curtains”. He turned out the lights and, in dimmed surroundings, he began speaking. “In the name of all things holy, I call upon you, Oh great power of the Universe to bring life to this holy woman who serves you. I call upon you to awaken her”. Then, he went on by whispering, “Your husband is outside. He needs you. Your children are at home. They need you. Your followers need your help desperately.”

“You are asleep because the hospital gave you the wrong medicine, but your own mind, which is awake, is listening to me and your own soul has the strength to awaken you when I command that you do so. But, for this moment, rest! Bring your heartbeat back to normal, now! And, bring your breathing back to normal now!. Now, cleanse your own blood with every breath of oxygen you inhale”.

The doctor continued, “In just a few moments the sun will shine on you. It will be like someone has hit the ON switch to turn your life on. It will be as though you are getting up and leaving this place where they make mistakes. You will go home with your husband to your children and your followers who need you.”

Then, he rapidly opened the curtains and said, “I command you in the name of God and all things holy, awaken, rise up, get up out of your sleep. You are no longer in a coma. Stand up and join life anew. So mote it be.” Those terms were something familiar to a Wiccan minister.

Then the doctor was exhausted; tired from the energy which he had sent into the patient and from praying while speaking. That’s all I can do, he said and then left the room in tears.

The minister’s husband entered the room and waited with Jeannie. Meanwhile, the hospital staff was huddled outside with security, trying to convince them not to arrest the husband for blocking the entrance.

Suddenly, Jeannie burst from the room screaming, “Shes up! Shes up! She said that God himself appeared before her and told her to get up”. The minister said that everyone needed her and so she felt a strong compulsion to get up, to go home and help her family and parishioners.

The husband frantically dressed his wife while pushing away hospital staff away so he could help her from the building. The holistic doctor was rushed from the hospital before the police could come and charge him with ‘practicing medicine without a license.’ The job was done and the doctor went outside and began to cry, in thanks to God for the help.

On the ride back, he wondered, What else has God got in store for me in this life?

The Aloe Vera plant does not like cold weather so it grows where it warm year around. However, it will thrive if you grow it at home. Some folks like it as a house plant but that is the least of ifs use.

Many peoples around the world know this green, thick-leaved plant because it has a gel which has been used by many to help with various physical conditions to which humans suffer, for thousands of years.

Helping to heal wounds better is one condition for which the Aloe Vera plant is known. Although its effect on wound healing is not clear. Reputation says that the Aloe Vera gel eases pain and cuts down on inflammation. Thus let us look at what the science says.

In the 1990’s a study was performed showing that healing time of a severe to moderate burn was reduced when it was treated with Aloe Vera gel on a regular basis. In this study the Aloe Vera healing time was compared to the healing time of a similar burn which was covered by a gauze bandage.

But, a different study indicated that Aloe Vera gel treated wounds were slower to heal. Whether or not this gel promotes faster wound healing remains an unknown. Although, there are said to be some promising results coming. Thus, you will have to make your own study of this gel if you get a burn or a wound and wish to use it.

Does the Aloe Vera plant have any more uses?

A substance which is not approved for human use has been extracted from Aloe Vera gel by a commercial laboratory. It is an immunostimulant which is approved for treating a cancer (fibrosacoma) in cats and dogs. Only a veterinarian can use it.

Companies that make cosmetics are always looking for a way to enhance their products. So, Aloe Vera gel has been seized on as an excellent addition to shampoos, lotions, makeup, tissues, moisturizers, soap and sun screen. How effective is the gel when used here? Well, as we all know about cosmetics, its certainly a commercial secret — or at least a mysterious unknown.

Treating dry skin conditions is one of the common uses of Aloe Vera gel. Eyes which have eczema around them often get a gel treatment. In fact, sensitive facial skin is sometimes treated with gel.

An article published in the British Journal of General Practice suggests that Aloe Vera is effective at treating athlete’s foot.

But, there are other uses for Aloe Vera — other than applying it externally in a lotion or cream. This sap has been consumed internally as a juice for a long time.

People suffering from the inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis have used Aloe Vera gel as a juice. However, there can be side effects, so consulting with your doctor before doing this is highly recommended.

Well, we now know a bit about Aloe Vera . . . but, how can the gel be extracted from the plant? The gel is not from the root or the fruit. Where, then, do we find it?

The lower leaf of the plant is used for medicinal and other purposes. These leaves are typically green, thick and bulky, If the Aloe Vera leaf is sliced open, a gel can be obtained.

However, be careful. Here is something to be aware of if you want to extract the gel yourself.

There is a yellow substance called Aloe Vera latex, which comes from the inner side of the plant’s skin. It can be highly irritating. Some who have reported negative effects from Aloe Vera may be applying or eating this yellow substance. You must carefully remove all skin and anything yellow before using the gel. The gel must be totally clear, odorless and tasteless.

This gel is also said to be good for clearing up eczema, according to some reports. It has also been applied on herpes infections for possible instant symptomatic relief.

But, in addition to the medical uses, Aloe Vera gel is consumed as a food in many parts of the globe.

In Japan, Aloe Vera is commonly used as an ingredient in yogurt. There are also many Japanese companies which make Aloe Vera based beverages.

In some of the parts of early British India, which is now Pakistan, the plant has been used for centuries as a digestive aid. Consumed after a meal, the dried gel is mixed with seeds of various herbs to make the potion. Sort of an early days Tums, huh?

Pashtuns in India have been using Aloe Vera for centuries to improve physical performance. This effect is due. probably, to the great nutrient content of the gel. People in Rajasthan, India, prepare Aloe Vera as a vegetable combined with fenugreek seeds.

In another state of India, Tamil Nadu, a curry is made using Aloe Vera. It is usually eaten with Indian bread or a serving of rice.

Aloe Vera gel is contained in some popular beverages. SoBe’s Strawberry Drink is one. Smoothies served in Mexico commonly contain Aloe Vera. This gel is an ingredient in a South Korea popular soft drink.

Have you ever read about an incredible sale, only to get to the store and find you’ve been tricked? That unbelievable sale item is not available, but surprise! There’s another deal, which of course, is going to cost you a lot more money!

It’s known as the Bait and Switch game of marketing. We’d like to share a different, more positive game, called the Subconscious Bait and Switch! Here’s how it works.

You “BAIT” those deep, dark memories, thoughts, and feelings – at a time when you are not going through an emotional experience – when you can evaluate them objectively and dispassionately – like after some meditation time at Headquarters, or during a journaling time. You “Bait” your subconscious by using key phrases that are incomplete, allowing your subconscious to fill in the blank.

Here are a few examples of phrases you can finish:

“I am just no good at ” (singing; marketing; managing money; meeting people..) “I would be so much better off, if it weren’t for” (parents; my boss; some past event) “The one thing I fear most is” (failure; looking silly; being taken advantage of; being alone; health problems.) “When I look in the mirror” (OK – no examples necessary!)

Got the idea? Your subconscious immediately fills in the blank. This is your cue to pull the “Switch!”

You “Baited” the unhealthy awareness to come to the surface, but instead of nurturing that belief, and supporting it with your thoughts, words, and actions, you move into the process of Truth Transformation! Jot down your error thoughts, and then set the intention to replace that false belief with a more empowering Truth about who you are.

For example, let’s use a non-threatening, low-risk example: “I’m just no good at singing!” Let’s evaluate that thought for Truth. Who says that? Who am I comparing myself against: a Karaoke contestant or Celine Dion? What if I sang for fun? What if I asked a vocal coach to give me an honest appraisal of my singing? How is claiming that I can’t sing serving me?

Now for the most important piece: When I catch myself saying this, what could I say instead? Create a replacement phrase for yourself. We’re not talking about lying to yourself, but some replacement that moves you to a better place in your subconscious about this issue. In this example, you might say instead, “I enjoy singing for fun!” or “I like to sing in the shower!” Can’t you already feel the cobwebs being swept away? Try the Subconscious Bait and Switch to become aware of your hidden limiting thoughts and beliefs, and transform your thinking and your experience!
