Harnessing The Power Of The Subconscious Mind

By Jean D Kerr

Have you ever heard the saying 'What you believe, you can achieve'? Your subconscious mind is easily the most powerful tool you'll ever encounter. Everything you do or say or dream originated within your subconscious mind. Some people are able to conceive an idea within their minds and then manifest those thoughts up to a conscious level.

For example, if you wish to change the channel on the TV, you think about it and then you do so. But, have you ever noticed you picked up the remote and quickly changed a channel without ever once thinking about why you did what you did? If so, have you ever stopped to think about your actions? More than likely, you did not because the action was a subconscious one.

Now, how does such an action occur? Perhaps a commercial for a product you disliked appeared on the screen and this subconsciously triggered the reaction to change the channel. Yes, the subconscious mind can have an enormous impact on how we act. That is why it is so important to train yourself to utilize the power of your subconscious mind. Such training can lead to an overall improvement in the quality of our lives we never thought possible.

Learning to properly harness to the power of your subconscious mind can mean living up to the true potential inherent within you. Allowing your own thoughts to feed your subconscious mind can mean the difference between living in fear and living the life you dreamed.

That is why it is helpful to also look at the positive aspects of the human mind and how we can approach the subconscious as a means of self-improvement. Now, some may read this and think it refers to an overly complex process that is difficult to attain. In reality, it is the opposite that is true. The guiding of the subconscious mind is no where as difficult as some assume. Through a series of simple processes, it is possible to use the power of the subconscious mind so that it helps one harness unlimited potential. So, let us take a brief look at some of the ways this is achieved.

The simplest as best known way of communicating with the subconscious mind is by using affirmations. This is basically a constant repetition of positive words.

This is why it becomes important to train your mind to always look for the positive aspects of everything you do. By learning to utilize the power of affirmations to help reinforce your own subconscious power, you're able to unlock large amounts of potential you never knew you had.

Using affirmations can help you to find the benefits of each task so the automatic response changes to become positive as you tackle it with new strength. The right affirmations can reinforce in you that you're the right person for the job. No one can do it like you can, and completing that task will lead to bigger and better opportunities.

You're also able to change your habits through use of affirmations. You might want to stop smoking or learn to stop overeating or even feel more motivated about exercising more regularly. These affirmations confirm the things you want to your subconscious, which then creates the impulses that remind your conscious mind of the things you should be doing.

Hypnosis is another way to tap directly into the subconscious mind. You can do this using a qualified hypnotherapist or you can use self-hypnosis by listening to specific audio recordings. This can help you to change habits, like stopping smoking or over-eating. You can also change your entire attitude toward certain activities or actions to become more positive if you wish.

Another way to harness the power of the subconscious mind is to use brainwave synchronization or binaural beats. This is where you listen to specific sound frequencies through headphones. The sounds are different within each ear and create a synchronization of the two sides of your brain. This induces a deep meditation state that accesses your subconscious mind.

There is evidence that this can actually be taken much further. Buddhist monks for example are able to use the power of their subconscious mind so successfully that they can exhibit what some would call 'supernatural' powers such as levitation and invisibility.

Understanding how you can create the life you dreamed of or the relationship you desire or even that ideal job you always wanted has been made a little easier through films and books like The Secret'. Often called the Law of Attraction, this theory shows how learning to control the power within your own mind can manifest those things you want most.

More traditional sciences, such as quantum physics, are beginning to recognize the significance of the power many ancient civilizations accessed by understanding their own subconscious minds. The ability to alter and influence your own reality comes from tapping the power within yourself.

The sheer power of your subconscious mind is far greater than most of us realize or understand. You can change your beliefs and your behaviors, but you can also begin to re-shape your entire life and unleash your full potential once you learn to harness the power within yourself. - 42534

Chakra Balancing - Enhance Your Overall Happiness And Wellbeing

By Jo Taylor-Combes

Today many individuals have no clue to the significant existence of the spiritual being and physical being since modern science reduces this fact from their own minds.

However, in the Hindu thoughts of life, the flame of spiritual healing is still burning brightly alongside the advancements in science and technology.

There are many secondary chakras as well as 7 primary chakras in the body. In Sanskrit Chakra means Wheel of Light. All the chakras work together constantly vibrating and rotating within a healthy human body.

Therefore, any type of imbalance in the movements of chakras will result in an overall imbalance of a healthy functioning body. Chakra balancing then is essential for having a healthy mind, body, and soul.

These centers of activity, the chakras receive, join and then express our life force energy. Chakras are the entry points of the aura. They run along the mid-points of the body from the base of the spine up to the top of the head. These seven chakras attract and diffuse energies back and forth into nature, celestial entities, the universe, and other individuals.

What changes Chakra Balancing?

Energy cannot flow harmoniously through the Chakras when one or more of them are blocked. Blockages result in an imbalance along the Chakras. These imbalances then manifest themselves in other areas of our lives.

There are various reasons that the harmonious functioning of the chakras occur. These reasons may include but are not limited to emotional injuries, childhood trauma, exposure to toxins, stress, various aliments as well as a lack of exercise of a poor choice in diet, the inability to express the emotions, cultural conditioning and any beliefs contrasting with Truth and so forth.

Chakra Balancing Secret to Happiness and Health

Although, it is admirable to consider that chakras can function naturally in harmony, however it is impractical. In order to correct any dysfunctions, many people do try to correct this by achieving a fine balance of the chakras. One theory, which finds its foundation in chakra balancing, is that of self-healing.

The condition of our Chakras does influence our thoughts, behaviors, our glandular processes, body shape and any chronic physical ailments. Chakra balancing makes certain that these all boundaries work towards the goal of a healthy body, mind, and spirit.

Chakra Balancing Benefits include:

* Recognition of the True Self

* Physical health and energy

* Inner peace and complete happiness

* A loving and compassionate heart

* Consciously being in touch with ones body

* Accelerating spiritual growth and development

* Sexually content life without the influence of lust

* Awareness of your feelings at the higher consciousness level

* Enhancing the ability to attract and express love in ones life

* Immeasurable levels of confidence, however not being overly confident

* Spiritual healing through higher patterns of awareness, perception and recognition

Achieving Chakra Balancing

You can achieve chakra balancing by making use of any number of different methods. You may consider using one or more of the following methods in order to harmonize the functioning of your Chakras within your own body.

* Aromatherapy Sessions

* Touch Therapy

* Always Having a Positive Outlook on Life

* Actively Enjoying Physical exercise

* Try Color and Light Therapy

* Crystals and Gemstones

* Binaural Sound Frequency Recordings

* Reiki Healing Therapy

* Balancing with Pendulums and Hands

* Positive Affirmations, using Hypnosis and so on

* Meditation and Yoga, and breathing exercises

Since our body is a container for energy, it will constantly release and dispose of any spent energy throughout the cells and vital organs of the body. After doing so, it will then restock its reserve with new supplies of energy.

Chakra balancing ensures that new energy generates and then makes it available for optimal use within all the cells and vital organs of the body, making sure that all have their fair share of this new supply of energy.

While in this most favorable state, happiness, health and inner peace naturally flow. Chakra balancing is simply bringing the Chakras back into their natural state of vibration. - 42534

By Jane Wickham

Our physical, spiritual and mental health are closely intertwined. Our chakras are an important part of our being and are essential to our good health and like the rest of us; they are affected by external factors, whether environmental or spiritual. To stay in good health, you need to take care of all of you - chakra cleansing is an important part of caring for yourself.

Every part of our being depends in every other part, meaning that chakra cleansing is every bit as important to your health as is eating well and getting regular exercise!

Read on to learn about the chakra cleansing methods which have been proven to work over thousands of years of use.

*Smudging: Smudging involves letting herbs smolder; their smoke can eliminate the negative energy which prevents the flow of energy through your chakras. White sage is one of the best ? burn some of this herb in a room after closing the doors and windows so that the smoke fills the room; you?ll need to be in the room for a few minutes to get the chakra cleansing benefits of smudging.

*Auric brushing: Brushing your chakras with gems and crystals can cleanse your chakras; however, you should leave this to a professional. Improper auric brushing can do more harm than good.

*Get a healthy diet, drink lots of water and juice and get adequate sleep. Your chakras will stay in better shape if you keep your physical body healthy.

*Get regular exercise and breathe properly to maintain proper chakric function.

*Nature: Spending some time in nature can be an effective method of chakra cleansing. Get out into the countryside and observe the plants and animals even if you live in a city, you can do this at a park; the important thing is to make some time to experience the natural world.

*Color therapy: Each of your chakras has a corresponding color and can be stimulated and cleansed of negative energy by visualizing these colors or by looking at them.

*As Albert Ayler once said, 'Music is the healing force of the universe'. Music can help in chakra cleansing, activate your chakras and stimulate the endocrine system to function better.

*Mental Exercise: By keeping your mind active and endeavoring to learn new things, your chakras will stay more active and free of blockages.

*Make a little time every day to meditate and reflect on your day. This gives you perspective and is a very effective method of chakra cleansing.

*Love yourself: Unless you are able to love yourself, you will not be able to accept love or love others. Love produces potent effects on your mind and spirit which affect your chakra health positively.

*Be attuned to your emotions. You need to acknowledge your emotions and be able to communicate them to others when needed. Repressing your emotions is not good for your mental or spiritual health and can cause blockages of negative energy in your chakras.

*Use your creativity. When you allow your creativity to have a place in your daily life, you keep your energy flowing properly and will start enjoying your life more.

*Past lives: You need to be open to your past lives, especially to the opportunity to learn about yourself through them. The self awareness and sense of purpose this can give you will make all of your other chakra cleansing techniques more effective.

*Make your life one which is lived with honesty, trust and respect for others; the same will come to you.

*Prayer: Prayer can calm your mind and make you more aware of your spiritual side, including your chakras. Like meditation, prayer is a powerful means of chakra cleansing.

All of these are effective methods of chakra cleansing and should be practiced in your daily life. Chakra cleansing may not happen instantly, but with regular practice of these techniques, you?ll be able to maintain proper energy flow and live a happier, healthier life. - 42534

Secret Law Of Attraction Puts Success Within Reach

By Leona Claives

It may be the last time you heard about the universal laws was in your high school physics class. As a short refresher course, the universal laws are natural rules that govern the way the cosmos works. Natural laws cannot be modified by further judicial discourse; they are what they are. An apple plucked from a tree will always fall to the earth, plain and simple. And there are other universal laws that most people do not know about. If you can harness them, there is no telling what you can accomplish. And it is possible to harness the universal secret law of attraction with just the power of your mind.

Your mind is actually a very powerful tool for achieving your goals. Perhaps you were told to visualize the ball going into the basket when you were learning to shoot free throws.

You may have also heard the old adage: "If you dream it, you can achieve it." Both of these techniques are completely legitimate, but they only touch the surface of the much larger concept of the universal law of attraction.

In order to create a positive energy field, you must think only positive thoughts. This means not only positive thoughts about others, but also positive thoughts about yourself. We are our own best critics. It is important that you are able to look at yourself in the mirror and honestly be able to say: "I like me" and really mean it.

You need to do a lot of soul-searching, figure out the parts of yourself that you don't like and either fix them or come to love them indiscriminately. In order for the law of attraction to work for you, you need to be full of positive energy and confidence.

Once you completely believe that you are amazing person, it is time to let the powers of the universe work for you. Energy works like a magnet. If you are full of positive energy then the positive energy of the rest of the world will be drawn to you as well. Once you have gathered up all this incredible positive energy, you can project outward from yourself.

Conversely, if you are projecting positive vibrations, other positive energy flowing through the universe will be attracted to you as well. You can gather more and more positive energy.

After you have this amazing ball of positive energy it is time to project it on your goals. Simply visualize yourself getting what you want and focus all of your energy into that visualization. Once that is achieved act as though the object of your desire is already in your grasp. Since you have the powers of the universe backing you up, it shouldn't be that long before you have achieved your goals. Even though mental training can be somewhat difficult, if you are looking for a method to turn your life around focus your energy on the law of attraction. - 42534

Develop Telepathy; Yes You Really Can Become Telepathic!

By Paul Fowles

In layman's terms, telepathy is simply the transfer of thoughts, feelings, and/or emotions between one person and another, using only the power of their minds.

Interestingly enough, a certain amount of telepathic ability is present in virtually all people. However, it's unfortunate that the vast majority of people have no idea as to how to control this ability on a conscious level. While practically everyone experiences some telepathic activity on a subconscious level from time to time, wouldn't it be amazing if we could control this ability as and how we see fit, in order to communicate.

Of course, one can almost understand why there is still so much skepticism concerning the use of mine power. However, one should also take the following into consideration: have you ever bumped into someone who is depressed and down in the dumps, while you on the other hand were in the greatest mood ever? If you have, then you will know it certainly didn't take long before that person's mood started rubbing off on you.

Essentially, it's not the words which that person spoke which affected your mood, but rather the transference of their feelings and emotions to your own subconscious mind, and of course this is without a doubt, a form of telepathic communication.

In recent scientific studies, it's been determined that if someone accesses their subconscious mind and then learns to direct their thoughts and feelings towards another specific individual, dormant telepathic abilities can be brought back to life.

As children we are taught by our parents and by our teachers how to communicate. Not only are we taught how to speak, but we also learn a vast amount of body language. In fact, we learn to mimic to such an extent that we even talk with the same accent as those who taught us. Of course, this goes to show that we all have the same ability with regards to learning how to communicate, but unfortunately we only learn those things which we are taught.

How different would things be had our parents decided to teach us about that "other" certain ability? How would things be today if our parents taught us how to communicate with our minds? Surely, just because our parents never taught us, doesn't necessarily mean that we can never learn to do it.

Let's take a quick look at some things you may wish to try in order to awaken your dormant ability:

Training Your Mental Muscle

Just as children need to strengthen their voice boxes, and just as they need to learn how to control their mouths, so too do we need to learn how to strengthen and control our telepathic abilities.

Interestingly enough, that part of your brain which controls telepathic communication, functions at its best on a subconscious level which is similar to a trancelike state. In essence, this trancelike state is simply a level deep relaxation which all humans can achieve with relative ease.

You can be rest assured that if you learn how to relax your mind, you will be able to reach a trancelike state of mind without any difficulty at all.

Learning to Focus

Admittedly, when one is in a trancelike state of mind, if can be rather difficult learning how to stay focused. The next time you manage to achieve a state of deep relaxation, try to focus exclusively on someone you'd like to contact, or have contact with.

It is crucial that you keep this person in your thoughts while all the time you attempt to project happy thoughts. Picture this person receiving those thoughts and maintain your level of focus for as long as what you believe it's necessary, in order to know that there is a connection between the two of you.

The next step requires you to cut your focus off completely in order to end the contact. This step is vital as it will cause the other person to realize the connection has been lost, and in turn they will try and make contact with you.

The reason why one should practice focusing on your own is so that when you start practicing with a partner, you will have already conditioned your mind to be receptive and as such, it will be easier to receive images, feelings, thoughts, and impressions.

Practicing With a Partner

Once you have a partner, the two of you need to decide which one will be the sender, and which one will be receiving. Ideally, the sender should only attempt to project images of simple things, preferably of things which are brightly colored and easy to recognize.

On the other hand, the receiver should always keep a pen and paper nearby in order to make a note of any impressions or thoughts they receive.

When the two of you have reached the end of your practice session, then of course you should both compare your notes in order to see just how accurate the two of you have been. As time goes by, and you practiced more, you will find that you both become noticeably better as far as telepathic communication is concerned. - 42534

Movie Download Services Simply Make Watching Movies Less Expensive

By Jaime Harrington

Films are a big part of our lives and the most cost effective way today to watch a movie is through movie downloads. Numerous websites online give you the option of downloading movies of various genres.

Families of one, two, three, four or any size are finding it increasingly more expensive to go to the movie theatre to watch the new releases. What used to be a fun and cheap family experience is now something that most families cannot afford to do more than once a month.

The parents often want to watch one type of movie while the kids want to watch another, so do we they twice? This can turn out to be a very expensive exercise and that is not even taking into account the popcorn and other refreshments that go along with it.

Children love movies and more and more, parents are also paying full adult price for their children's tickets. There are seldom discounted tickets for children. Add in the cost of the refreshments mentioned about and you can easily see how the cost is increased and the entire trip is even more expensive. Kids usually need an adult to accompany them so that adds further to what has already become an overpriced outing. Financially, it is a waste of money for a two hour movie experience.

The practicality and stress free pleasures movie downloads offer provide great ease to many movie goers and fan worldwide. Instead of running up to catch the last full show, one can enjoy watching the latest blockbuster hit right within the comforts of their home. You get to enjoy watching it with the whole family without costing you a single cent.

There is no limit on how many movies you want to download, from the classic to the hip. Everyone can choose their favorite movie and download them in their computer anytime. Movie downloads are also highly recommended for families with little kids. Children tend to watch their favorite cartoons over and over again memorizing their much loved character's dialogues and movements. Having their favorite cartoon movies downloaded will assure you that they will not keep on asking you to bring them back to the movie theatre for another round.

The best thing about this option is that once downloaded you can watch the movie over and over again and it does not cost you a cent more. This is a great feature especially for the kids as we all know they love watching their favorite movies time and time again, something that drives us adults crazy.

Still, movie downloads can be very reliable for many people who wants to take some time off from work and a stressful day. All you have to do is end your day with your family sharing popcorn and guessing the next scene from your favorite movie download. Sit back, relax and enjoy the film. - 42534

Brandon Roy To Remain A Blazer For The Foreseeable Future

By Ross Everett

After a summer of heated negotiations, the Portland Trailblazers have signed All Star shooting guard Brandon Roy to a five year contract extension. Roy will be in the final year of his rookie contract in the 2009-2010 NBA season, and locking up the services of their 'franchise player' was the teams top summer priority.

Brandon Roy may have saved the Portland NBA franchise thanks to his on-court talent and off the court class. The Blazers slumped from their glory years of the 1970's and 1980's as the 1990's progressed, eventually pulling together a roster consisting of character challenged reprobates that earned the moniker JailBlazers for their frequent legal transgressions.

With the Blazers fans staying away from the arena in droves, team owner Paul Allen had finally had enough. In the late 1990's, he gutted the franchise management and cleaned house. The new management was given the charge to put together a roster that would not only win games, but win back the Rose City fans. The acquisition of Roy will likely be looked at as the turning point for this effort. The Blazers acquired Roy on draft day 2006 for Randy Foye, and would go on to win the NBAs rookie of the year award.

Since that point, Roy has become the face of the franchise. Roy has become the centerpiece of a talented young team had has not only become a force in the NBAs Western Conference but has gone a long way to winning back the Portland fan base. The current crop of Blazers is more likely to be found in the aisles at Home Depot or at Starbucks than in the police blotter, and the team seldom puts forth a substandard effort on the court.

The first four years of Roy's 5 year $84 million deal are guaranteed, while the fifth is at the players option. Roys agent Bob Myers strongly suggested that Roy wanted to remain with the Blazers for his entire career, noting that he "is one of the unique players to have a chance to have that sort of relationship with one team."

The Blazers now turn their attention to working out a long term deal with power forward LaMarcus Aldridge. Like Roy, Aldridge is in the final year of his rookie contract and a key component to the teams recent success. At last report, talks between the two sides are progressing. - 42534
