Living a good life depends on what matters to you. Take the time to define your values, priorities, and goals for life. Work to fulfill the desires you want to achieve. Build your relationships and be a good family member and friend. Serve your community and mankind and stay true to yourself.
A life well-lived comes out of a curious blend of optimism, practical wisdom and an openness to accepting and facing whatever shows up, good or bad. Sometimes you need to fight what comes against you, sometimes you just need to go with the flow; learning what to do in different situations and seasons is an art you'll spend your whole life learning. I really do believe that all things we face are blessings in various forms, though we often can't see the good until much later.
Remember that life is much more than mere existence. It can be fully satisfying, productive, loving and enriching. To achieve a well-lived life, one of solid well-being, be willing and ready to act with courage, enthusiasm, commitment and determination.

For many people, the concept of self-love is an overblown theory and they often ignore its importance. When we talk about self-love, it is easy to picture someone reading self-help books or hugging a tree; but self-love is much more than that. A lot of studies have shown that self-love is the key to mental wellbeing and it keeps depression and anxiety at bay.
Self-love is not simply a state of feeling good. It is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological, and spiritual growth. Self-love is dynamic; it grows through actions that mature us. When we act in ways that expand self-love in us, we begin to accept much better our weaknesses as well as our strengths, have less need to explain away our shortcomings, have compassion for ourselves as human beings struggling to find personal meaning, are more centered in our life purpose and values, and expect living fulfillment through our own efforts.
Value, worth or esteem. Respect yourself in the way you expect others to, and base your value of yourself on your own opinion rather than theirs.
Embrace positive energy. Unfortunately, some people have negative outlooks on life. Don't let yourself get drawn into all that toxic talk — surround yourself with those who exude positive energy and, when on your own, make sure you create daily rituals that remind you to stay present in the moment and savor the situation. Write it down in a journal, share a hilarious anecdote with a friend or simply just sit and find contentment.
Avoid social comparison. For all that we love double-tapping on our friends' Instagram photos or coming up with clever tweets, frequent social media use can result in festering resentment and the breeding of negative emotions. If you find yourself experiencing depression or decreased self-esteem while scrolling through your feed, put your phone down immediately. Instead, try to redirect some of that energy into something positive that involves focusing on your own goals and interests. Being conscious of how much social media is affecting you on a day-to-day basis is pivotal to increasing your self-love. So, be kind to yourself and limit the amount of time you spend staring at your phone.
Practice self-talk. Sometimes the things we say to ourselves are the most awful, demeaning things anyone could ever say. Instead of drilling into yourself how terrible you are or using self-defeating language, reframe—and use language that builds you up, not tears you down.
Understanding. If what you seek is not acceptance but “understanding,” then understand this: you only need to validate yourself to feel validated. And in most cases, when people are grasping for external validation, it’s because they aren’t turning inward and reassuring themselves “this is fine. you are fine.”
Express gratitude. There's a plethora of strategies to help you cultivate gratitude and it can be as simple as writing a letter to a loved one or jotting down a line about something you're grateful for in a Memory Journal. After a month or two of regularly expressing gratitude to both yourself and those around you, you will notice a greater sense of satisfaction with your life.
Peace. If you want peace, give yourself peace — but you must do so not by checking out, but by taking care of things, ensuring peace not just in this moment, but in the long run.
Boundaries. It’s not anyone else’s job to define how we should be treated (and anybody’s effort at this is simply because they are being kind, not because it’s their responsibility.) It’s our job, not theirs, to set boundaries.
Find your happy place. Whether it’s the couch in your living room or a nearby café that makes a mean mocha latte, find a place where you can sit quietly and live in the present moment without interruption. Bring a book, listen to music or a podcast or simply just sit in quiet reflection. Either way, you'll find comfort and solace in having a safe spot you can return to time and again when you feel like you need your emotional batteries recharged.
Take time to meditate. Quick deep breathing can relieve stress. Start just by sitting on a chair, or on your couch. If you’re comfortable on the ground, sit cross-legged. Focus your attention on the breath and on how your body moves with each inhalation and exhalation. Read more about “How Do I Begin to Meditate”

]]>We know we’re happy when we feel it, and it often mixes with a range of other positive emotions, including excitement, contentment, and gratitude, but to better understand the causes and effects of happiness, we need a more universal definition. Every conscious human mind has an average baseline happiness level that, without dedicated intervention, we naturally return to surprisingly quickly following almost all life changes.
Being happy is one of the most important requirements of a living being. Since the beginning of human civilization, man has also been trying to develop new technologies, make new tools, and improve lifestyle for the sole purpose of attaining happiness. However, in its race of scientific struggle and pursuit of money and luxuries, man is hardly aware of what exactly constitutes happiness.
Happiness is defined as the state in which a living being expresses satisfaction and contentment. It is the state in which negative stress levels are at the lowest, even if not zero, and positive stress improves the person’s positive emotions. It is conceptualized as an enduring state of mind that consists of the capacity to experience pleasure in daily life, as well as the ability to engage one’s skills and talents to enrich one’s life and the lives of others. Although people around the world generally report that they are happy, there are differences in average happiness levels across nations. Although people have a tendency to overestimate the extent to which their happiness set points would change for the better or for the worse following certain life events, researchers have identified a number of factors that are consistently related to happiness
The reason why happiness is so important is that it’s extremely vital to our own goals in life and can help us achieve many other cherished personal ambitions and goals. Also, by being happy, we have the potential to change many other lives just by being ourselves. When happiness is on board, this not only affects you but it has positive effects on all those with whom you come into contact. So, it’s the ‘domino’ effect and it all begins with you as an individual. As you spread those feelings they are taken on board by those around you who also spread them in turn.
You might be wondering why happiness is considered such an important aspect of life, as there are many components of a meaningful life. It is still important because it has some undeniably positive benefits and co-occurring factors.
Happy People…
- are more successful in multiple life domains, including marriage, friendship, income, work performance, and health.
- get sick less often and experience fewer symptoms when they do get sick.
- have an easier time navigating through life since optimism eases pain, sadness grief.
- have a positive influence on others and encourage them to seek happiness as well, which can act as reinforcement.
- are happy with what they have rather than being jealous of others.
- live longer than those who are not as happy.
- are more productive and more creative, and this effect extends to all those experiencing positive emotions.
1. Learn how to manage your frustration. Remember that total control in life is not an option and we all get frustrated for different reasons for different things. A basic rule of happiness is to be able to raise your frustration tolerance and this means letting go of being in control. Too much control kills happiness and feeds frustration.
2. Understand your life’s purpose. When you’re in sync with your purpose, you are more likely to feel content and happy. If you don’t know what your values and purpose in life really are, then take a good hard look at what you stand for as well as what really makes your heart sing.
3. Be Grateful. Think of all the wonderful things you have to be grateful for right now. It could be your family. Or your health. Maybe your home. Your friends. Your brain. Your heart. Your spirit. We’ve all got amazing things in our own lives that make us smile with joy. And if we can count these blessings every day, we’ll discover a greater appreciation of the beautiful world we surround ourselves with.
4. Set achievable goals. Goals are the essence of hope, and they inspire you to get out of bed in the morning. Happy people have short, mid-term, and long-term goals that they are striving towards, but they don’t pursue them at the risk of their well-being.
5. Give More. “Give and you shall receive.” Giving of yourself, your time or a percentage of your money will most likely reward you with huge chunks of happiness – it’s a universal law.
6. Laugh at your problems. Laughter truly is the best medicine, it cures all ills and turns challenges into opportunities. Laughter brings a lightness to life and is a key component in living a happy life. Laugh so hard that your belly hurts. Do it every single day.
7. Focus on improving yourself. Don’t become focused on other people’s successes. Never mind what are other people accomplishments. Focus on your own progress and growth. When you focus on yourself, you put in the effort to make progress each day. There’s a sense of fulfillment as you work towards something. When you devote your energy to improving yourself, other people’s achievements and goals become less relevant.
8. Surround yourself with people who are positive and supportive. The people we spend time with influence who we are. Being with people who don’t support you when you try to improve yourself will bring you down if you let them. If you notice that the people around you are toxic to your well-being, it’s time to go. It’s easy to remain surrounded by negativity when it feels like there are no other options available.
9. Keep going when you feel like quitting. When you feel like giving up and when things seem impossible, KEEP GOING. Perseverance isn’t just on the path to happiness, it is the path to happiness! Don’t let setbacks derail you. Don’t let discouragement get you sidetracked. Keep going!
When you can follow these rules, you will find your tension and worries melting away. Consider adopting it, It may help change your life for the better. If you're having trouble letting go or need to talk to someone, consider a professional therapist to help you figure out where you're getting stuck.

]]>How do you personally deal with it?
Does stress make it harder to learn?
1. Plan and organize your time. Reflect on your values and strengths, and practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing. Additionally, reframe negative thoughts about a situation to neutral or positive thoughts so that you can see the full picture. Research shows that these strategies and others can successfully curb stress.
2. Plan and organize your time. When you’re worried or feel your stress level rising, try to surround yourself with positive thoughts and experiences. Listen to music, watch a funny video, or call a friend who makes you laugh.
3. Meet negativity with a positive reaction. A positive attitude will keep you from slipping back into feeling overwhelmed.
4. Be observant. Recognize the signs of your body’s response to stress, such as difficulty sleeping, increased alcohol and other substance use, being easily angered, feeling depressed, and having low energy.
5. Avoid conflict. Avoid situations that make you feel stressed such as unnecessary arguments and conflict (although ignoring a problem is not always the best way to reduce stress). Assertiveness is fine but becoming distressed is not.
6. Meditate or Deep breathing. Meditation can be practiced anywhere at any time. Research has suggested that meditation can be helpful for managing and reducing the effect of stress, anxiety, and other related problems in some people. Meditation has been scientifically proven to help alleviate stress leading to a decrease in blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen consumption. It also creates a more gradual change in the brain, which is where meditation really works its magic. The goal of deep breathing is to focus your awareness on your breath, making it slower and deeper. When you breathe in deeply through your nose, your lungs fully expand and your belly rises. This helps slow your heart rate, allowing you to feel more peaceful.
7. Listen to relaxing meditation music. Listening to meditation music can have a very relaxing effect on the body. Meditation music can induce the relaxation response by helping lower blood pressure and heart rate as well as stress hormones. Nature sounds can also be very calming. This is why they’re often incorporated into relaxation and meditation music.
9. Get your rest. Feeling tired can increase stress by causing you to think irrationally. At the same time, chronic stress can disrupt your sleep. Whether you’re having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep at night, there are plenty of ways to improve your sleep so you feel less stressed and more productive and emotionally balanced. Give yourself some time to relax each day and try to spend time with people who make you feel good about yourself.
10. Exercise regularly. Regular exercise is a great way to manage stress. You should do some form of exercise that causes you to feel puffed afterward – a leisurely stroll to the bus stop is not enough! Have at least 20 minutes of exercise three times a week.
11. Eat healthily. A nutritious diet is important. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and avoid sweet and fatty foods.
12. Enjoy your life. It’s important to make time to have some fun and to get a balance in your life.
13. Stay connected. Keep in touch with people who can provide emotional support and practical help. To reduce stress, ask for help from friends, family, and community or religious organizations.
14. Recognize when you need more help. If problems continue or you are thinking about suicide, talk to a psychologist, or professional counselor. You should seek help right away if you have suicidal thoughts, are overwhelmed, feel you cannot cope or are using drugs or alcohol more frequently as a result of stress. Your doctor may be able to provide a recommendation.
Although stress may arise in your workplace and personal life, there are many simple ways to reduce the pressure you feel. These helpful ways often involve getting your mind away from the source of stress and they will improve your overall work-life balance as well.

It would be great, wouldn’t it?
Motivation is the reason you carry out any action. It is the desire that helps you act in the service of a particular goal. Motivation comes in different forms; it can either be intrinsic (driven by internal rewards), extrinsic (motivated by external rewards).
Motivation involves the biological, emotional, social, and cognitive forces that activate behavior. In everyday usage, the term "motivation" is frequently used to describe why a person does something. It is the driving force behind human actions. It is an urge to behave or act in a way that will satisfy certain conditions, such as wishes, desires, or goals.
Motivations are commonly separated into drives and motives. Drives are primarily biological, like thirst, hunger, sleepiness, and the need to reproduce all of which lead us to seek out and take part in certain activities. Drives are believed to originate within a person and may not require external stimuli to encourage the behavior. Motives, on the other hand, are primarily driven by social and psychological mechanisms, such as work, family, and relationships. They include factors like praise and approval.
Both drives and motives can be manipulated by stimulation and deprivation. Motivation can be stimulated by uncomfortable or aversive conditions or events or by attractions to positive or pleasurable conditions or events. We also become motivated when we’re deprived of something that we want or need, like adequate nutrition or social contact.
The importance of motivation is obvious. We need motivation in order to reach our goals. In fact, it is one of the most important and driving factors for us to reach our goals. So when that being said it is not hard to imagine how things would be if there was no such thing as motivation.
Motivation does not have to be positive emotions. Fear can be a very effective motivating factor. Stress is an example of negative motivating ineffective feelings. Most people have a tendency to become narrow sighted when they are stressed, some even get paralyzed or apathy.
Many people struggle to find the motivation they need to achieve the goals they want because they are wasting too much time and energy on other parts of the process. If you want to make it easy to find motivation and get started, then it helps to automate the early stages of your behavior.
Learning how to motivate yourself is one of the most powerful skills you can develop. It makes it a lot easier to stop procrastinating, decrease inner resistance, and work hard instead. Most of us have a ton of dreams or goals, whether it's in our personal life or at work, but the hardest part is finding the drive to get to where we want to be. Luckily, there are a number of habits that can help you stay motivated, and making these a part of your daily life can help you reach the success you desire.
“Work hard for what you want because it won’t come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.” – Leah LaBelle
1. Daily goal setting. To stay motivated with your bigger goals and become successful with them, you should set daily goals and plan your day accordingly. When you plan out your day as carefully as possible, your chances of successfully accomplishing your goals are high. Daily goal setting is an integral part of any successful routine because it allows us to weigh and analyze just where we stand on a day-to-day basis. Since it’s easy to lose sight of our long-term goals, especially when dealing with the millions of distractions in our lives, daily goal setting allows us to stay on track and on point.
2. Being Proactive. A proactive person is someone who can anticipate challenges before they occur. On the road to success, acquiring the habit of being proactive is very important. You can identify and create innovations, set and achieve long term goals, mitigate the effects of future incidents or accidents, save money and time, and so on.
3. Treat yourself. To keep your flame flickering during the weekly grind, consider treating yourself to a promotion. As long as you spend within reason, consider habitually tying a reward like a bottle of wine or nice dinner to a tough weekly project.
4. Don’t run away from responsibilities. When you start taking responsibility, you save yourself enormous time and energy that’s generally wasted in shifting blame. Soon as you grow accountable, you start taking relevant decisions and cut fluff and clutter from your life. People become more motivated when they know that they are accountable for the outcome. So, be responsible and do everything keeping in mind that the output depends on your own efforts.
5. Meditate for 10 Minutes. This gives them balance and poise, before beginning their working day. Although there are different forms of meditation, the simplest method is to just close your eyes… control your breathing… and let your thoughts settle. And like most things in life, the more you practice meditation, the easier it will become for you. To easily get to a meditative state try listening to Meditation Music. It let your mind and body rest, giving you the opportunity to let go of any stress and anxiety, open your heart, and connect to the moment.
6. Celebrate Wins. If you’re constantly waiting for a long-term payoff, you forget how crucial all the little wins are. And it can be challenging to stay motivated and on top of things if there’s no reward in sight. Treat yourself with small things and don’t underestimate how gratifying it can feel to recognize tiny advancements.
7. Remain Positive. Successful and motivated people are never negative. These people are always positive and surround themselves with other positive people. A negative mindset has a huge impact on motivation and productivity. Whereas a positive mindset can not only keep you motivated and productive, it can drastically improve your entire life. Remaining positive in every situation and learning to control negative feelings can be extremely impact on how much you accomplish.
Setbacks are normal, but developing resilience can help you carry on and pick up where you left off. Here are some tips to help you find your motivation again:
Success is a hard and tedious road that requires a lot of sacrifices and hard work. In order to be successful in any endeavor, you will have to acquire good habits, and this process can be long and tedious. Doing the hard work necessary for acquiring good habits is a must for anyone that wants to be successful in any business endeavor.
You can remain constantly motivated by developing habits that ensure that you spend your energy on the things that matter and surround yourself with people and environments that feed your energy rather than draining it. By changing the way that you do things you can ensure that you have more than enough energy to do the things that matter.
So start incorporating these habits in your daily routine, you will remain highly motivated and will have a successful day.

]]>Are you frustrated when you don’t have control over your personal and professional life?
Is it possible to wipe out this feeling of incapability with self-empowerment?
Self-empowerment means an individual is in control of his or her life and views the trials they face in life in a positive way. It’s also about building self-esteem and confidence. And with the right kind of motivation, a person can be empowered to have a happier and more successful life. Sometimes, it is frustrating that we don’t have control over our personal and professional life. However, it is possible to wipe out this feeling of incapability with self-empowerment.
Self-empowerment is all about loving yourself and taking charge of your life. It allows you to accept your strengths and weaknesses; achieve inner peace. If you see the meaning of empowerment. It means giving freedom or power to perform certain tasks. Thus, on a similar line, self-empowerment is all about gaining knowledge about oneself. It means understanding your inner self, power, and administering your life. And to do so, you need to believe and trust yourself.
Set goals for yourself. In professional or personal life, setting goals is a great medium for self-empowerment. It is a perfect roadmap to your success. With this practice, you have a deadline for achieving your goals at the right time. Create the perfect atmosphere and choose a goal that is reasonable. The thoughts that you had pushed away thinking about its impossibility. Then, embrace them yet again and rest assured, the higher the goal, the higher the performance will be!
2. Develop a new mindset and create a positive atmosphere. When you have a willingness to expand and grow as a human being, you cultivate a new mindset. Think about your current dominant thoughts, habits, and beliefs. Are they serving you in a positive manner or negative one? Cultivate a new mindset so you can acknowledge that you have control of your mind, not the other way around.
A positive atmosphere is very necessary for achieving self-empowerment. Negativity can come around from anywhere, right from friends, family to colleagues. And they give you nothing but a feeling of disheartening. But you must have a positive mindset. Meet people with positive energy, read books that impart an important lesson, listen to music that inspires. With this, you’ll stay happy and your mental health will stay enhanced.
Let go of negative people. We absorb other people’s negativity. That’s why it’s good to avoid the negative or toxic ones who bring you down and make you feel like you’re not capable.
3. Be truthful and trust others and yourself. Trust is the quality that propels you forward toward being a better decision-maker. Make your choices and stick with them. Trust your own judgment and ability to decide. Having trust involves having faith in the self-empowerment process, as well as in the process of life. Trusting others allows you to let go of worry, doubt, and dread.
When you lie, you feel guilty. Guilt leads to shame. Shame leads to feelings of worthlessness. Honesty is really the best policy when it comes to self-empowerment. Don’t treat yourself any differently than you treat others. Be truthful with yourself.
4. Recognized what you got. To see who you are, you must see what you got. Recognition is about what, who, when, and where you give your power. Once you recognize your own abilities in this disempowering process, you can achieve self-empowerment. Identify and embrace the gifts and talents you possess. Don’t wait on the world to acknowledge these attributes; you may be in for a wait.
5. Control how you speak. When anxious, you may talk faster. Consciously slowing down and enunciating words offers more control and allows leeway for speeding up if emotions kick in. Managing your pace and enunciating words controls emotions, which helps you feel more confident and sound more serious! Your voice may go higher when you’re frustrated or nervous.
6. Embrace imperfect moments. The most empowered path to success comes through your experiences of failure. The late Mary Tyler Moore famously said, “You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.” Empowerment is most deeply cultivated during times of challenge. Failure and uncertainty are necessary structures for you to bump up against for the development of your own refinement. Without failure, you would have nothing to improve upon. Choose to evolve rather than dissolve under pressure. Your imperfect moments provide the perfect trajectory for your growth up the mountain of success you’re climbing.
Take responsibility for your thoughts. It’s YOUR choice to adopt criticism from others as YOUR perception of who you are. Allowing criticism from others to rule your thoughts reflects in your behavior.
7. Never stop learning. Learning doesn’t end after you leave school. The world continues to change, and if you want to keep up and succeed, you need to learn new things. By “always be learning”, it doesn’t just mean learning from your passive experiences. It also means proactive learning, i.e., intentional or purposeful learning. If you rely on learning from passive experiences, you’re dependent on the things that may happen in your life. If nothing happens or if meaningful learning experiences rarely happen, you won’t consistently grow in knowledge.
8. Assess your progress. Reflect on your experiences as you work on accomplishing your goal. Keep in mind that- more often than not- the impact you desire will not come to fruition immediately. Persistence is the key to achieving any long-term, meaningful results. Knowing your challenges and shortcomings can equip you to deal with any failures along the way without sacrificing your growing confidence. When you fall short, reflect on what went wrong, recognize that you’re a human, adjust your strategy accordingly, and try again. When you experience a tangible result related to your goal that reflects a positive impact on your life, celebrate!
Realizing impactful results in your journey to self-empowerment takes work. Finding self-confidence, setting, and working toward a goal, and evaluating your progress are all necessary steps in achieving long-term results and repeated success. When you encounter setbacks or your confidence takes a hit, remember that the rewards you’ll reap from self-empowerment will far outweigh the hardships you experience along the way.
9. Practice self-love and empowerment through meditation. There is plenty of research to be found that suggests that meditation can help to increase self-confidence since it helps us to live more fully by embracing the moment and re-frames our relationship to suffering. Before we’re able to offer up kindness to the world, we must first support and love ourselves, so start to practice kindness towards yourself.
Meditate daily for 10 minutes - A study reflected that meditation infuses positivity and compassion among individuals. And while on the path of self-empowerment, it is very important to shower love on your family and friends. Moreover, meditation forms the perfect backdrop to keep stress at bay. When you feel light in mind and heart, then your capability of learning becomes easy. An intense state of meditation increases your problem-solving skill. It also helps in increasing your inspiration and motivation. It maintains your physical health as well by strengthening your immune system. All these aspects will help you achieve victory as well as empowerment.
To live an empowered life of great significance be open to possibility, cooperation, education, success, and understanding that success is not a one-man job. Love what you do so deeply that you are able to include others in your dream and empower them in their success. Love what you do so deeply that there will be no roadblock or hardship that will take you from your desired direction. Empowerment means that you don’t crumble under failure. You make the conscious choice to grow from the pressure to evolve yourself to that next level.

]]>It’s a shame that nitpicking our flaws can be one of our favorite bad habits. But not anymore - it ends today. No more pity parties and no more negativity. Why? Because you’re worth so much more.
Self-love is not simply a state of feeling good. It is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological, and spiritual growth. Self-love is dynamic; it grows through actions that mature us. When we act in ways that expand self-love in us, we begin to accept much better our weaknesses as well as our strengths, have less need to explain away our shortcomings, have compassion for ourselves as human beings struggling to find personal meaning, are more centered in our life purpose and values, and expect living fulfillment through our own efforts.
If you’re totally new to the practice of self-love then start with focusing on nourishing yourself. Nourishing your body is the most basic form of loving yourself. The way we feed ourselves reflects how we love ourselves. So get good at nourishing yourself and you’ll lay strong foundations to self-love. Start truly caring for yourself by mirroring that in what you eat, how you exercise, and what you spend time doing. Do stuff, not to “get it done” or because you “have to,” but because you care about you. Don’t feel like going to the gym? Then maybe put on soul-soothing music and go for a walk. Create habits that are healthy, not just mentally but also emotionally.
Quick deep breathing can relieve stress. Start just by sitting on a chair, or on your couch. If you’re comfortable on the ground, sit cross-legged. Focus your attention on the breath and on how your body moves with each inhalation and exhalation. Read more about “How Do I Begin to Meditate”
We humans can be so hard on ourselves. The downside of taking responsibility for our actions is punishing ourselves too much for mistakes in learning and growing. You have to accept your humanness (the fact that you are not perfect) before you can truly love yourself. Practice being less hard on yourself when you make a mistake. Remember, there are no failures, if you have learned and grown from your mistakes; there are only lessons learned. Be easy on your Failures - your kind to yourself even when you fail. You know that regardless of the outcome you’ll always have your own back. Just as you would treat a child or loved one you don’t trash yourself for failing but build yourself up with affirmations. You see every failure as an opportunity to grow. Don’t set yourself up for failure. Create reasonable expectations for your life. If you commit too much, you will constantly feel exhausted, run-down, and like a failure. Take a realistic look at whatever you’re taking on in life and see if it’s doable or if the mere thought of it all drains you. Reassess and set realistic expectations to set yourself up for success.
When you love yourself, you start doing things because you know you deserve it. You start working on your health because you want the best for yourself. You develop a talent or a skill you never thought you had in you. You try new things. You unlock potentials. You get involved with people and at the same time get in touch with your inner self too. You know your unlimited potential to create value in the world. You know you can accomplish anything if you set your mind to it. You don’t settle for any less, because you know you are capable of so much more. You will accept and love yourself more, whatever is happening in your life when you live with purpose and design. Your purpose doesn't have to be crystal clear to you. If your intention is to live a meaningful and healthy life, you will make decisions that support this intention, and feel good about yourself when you succeed in this purpose. You will love yourself more if you see yourself accomplishing what you set out to do. You need to establish your living intentions, to do this.
When you love yourself, practice gratitude regularly. You’re grateful for even the smallest of things. You become humbler and recognize that we own nothing. All is a gift and you become profoundly grateful. You have an appreciation for others and want to help them achieve their goals. You become humbler and recognize that you are not on earth to see how important you can become but to see the difference you can make in the lives of others with the power of love.
Insults are never a productive or responsible form of communication. The person giving them is usually trying to make themselves feel important, and that reflects their own insecurities more than your reality. When you’re on the receiving end of insult, recognize that you don’t have to take that person’s words as your truth. See if you can find anything constructive that you should work on, but leave the rest.
The world will try to drown you in its loud and superficial values. Money, status, degrees, brand names, “likes,” it’s endless… Forget those values – create your own. What matters most to you? What kind of person do you hope to be? What do you value most in other people? Construct and own your own value system and the trending values the world is trumpeting at any given time will lose their importance.
When you’re feeling down, having a mantra you say to yourself over and over can help you come back up. A few ideas:
Respect your uniqueness and allow your authenticity. We cause ourselves so much pain and suffering when we stifle our true nature and ignore our burning desires and dreams, for the sake of fitting in with the status quo and meeting the expectations of others. You are a one-of-a-kind unprecedented human being. There will never again be someone quite like you, and you are here to give the world your own special blend of gifts, passions, interests, and quirks. Allowing yourself to show up to life as your authentic self is one of the most empowering things you can do, and it can profoundly enrich your relationship with yourself.
Sleep—it’s the most obvious, and yet still the most magical ingredient of self-care, and optimizing it can help you destress, get rid of some mental clutter, and be more productive. Listen to Deep Sleep Music and you’ll start to see a healthier you.
Comparison is a killer to self-love. And we aren’t usually very nice when it comes to comparisons, right? Instead, we take our greatest flaws and compare them to someone else’s greatest success. In short, you’re doomed to fail. Instead, realize that you write your story. Realize that you can’t compare your life to someone else’s because no matter how well you know them, you never know how they feel or how they perceive their life. Instead, spend your time and energy to nourish and build your path. surround yourself with people you feel good with. Oh, this is an important one! You may have heard Jim Rohn’s famous quote before: “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Think about who those people currently are. Do they inspire, fill you up, and want what’s best for you? Just because you’ve been friends doesn’t mean you need to keep spending time together. Just because you’re taking a break from someone, doesn’t mean you won’t be close again. Be picky about who you spend your time with—don’t give it away in the spirit of mercy. (That’s not nice, neither to you or the other person). Be there because you want to; otherwise, don’t.
Gratitude practices don’t have to be as daunting as they may seem. Start small by naming one thing about yourself that you’re grateful for today. Maybe it’s your ability to bounce back after spilling coffee, or maybe it’s your ability to savor downtime with colleagues. Whatever it is, own it! It makes you, you—and taking stock of that is what self-love is all about. Even if you don’t feel particularly powerful, think about how far you’ve come, how you’ve survived. You’re here, right now, alive and powerful beyond your knowledge. And be patient with yourself. Self-love may not happen overnight. But with time, it will settle itself into your heart. Yes, you may struggle, but you’ll look back on these moments and see how they were stepping stones on your journey to being the best you.
“You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously."

]]>The recent outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is quite literally taking the world by complete surprise in how quickly it is spreading across all four continents and indeed how easily it has brought whole countries grinding to a halt. It is not just peoples health and lives at stake, it is having a direct impact on whole economies, with panic buying and mass paranoia as countries go into lock-down and whole populations go into self-isolation at home in order to recover from symptoms or wait out the worst impact of the disease.
So what is the science and our understanding of this latest threat to our health and the world economy? According to the World Health Organization, Coronavirus was discovered in 2019 in China and common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In the most severe cases, the infection has been known to cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure, and death. So far though the most severe cases have been among people with pre-existing respiratory symptoms such as asthma, which have become worsened by this flu-like disease.
It is the cold or flu-like symptoms that make this disease all the more difficult to diagnose. Essentially though Coronavirus attacks the body on a cellular level, the particles have spiked proteins that help them attach to cell membranes which is what enables this virus to enter our human cells. According to infectious disease specialists, the virus cells hijack and confuse our body's cells into helping create more virus cells and spread the disease throughout the body.
The respiratory system is just one of the main areas it has been known to affect, especially for anyone with respiratory illness of any kind. However, it has the potential to cause problems with the blood and any other major organs of the body, especially where there is a history of pre-existing health problems.
Although scientific researchers are working around the clock all over the world to better understand and vaccinate against this disease, a possible vaccine is still at least a year away yet. In the meantime the standard advice from the World Health Organization focuses on all the physical solutions for preventing the spread of the disease, such as regular intensive hand-washing, wearing face masks, covering your nose and mouth when sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs as well as avoiding anyone showing symptoms of the disease. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can also help by washing any potential virus cells from the mouth down to the stomach where stomach acids act to kill the infected cells before they even have the chance to spread to the lungs and other parts of the body.
Even if all the physical precautions are taken there is no guarantee that you will not catch Coronavirus. On top of all that there is also the stress, all the mass hysteria in the media and the panic buying in stores is putting upon us psychologically at the fear of catching and dealing with the implications of this little-understood disease. Stress by its very nature produces chemicals in the body which has a direct impact on how well your immune system works, as well as how well your body fends off and deals with infectious diseases. Stress essentially slows down the healing process, increasing the susceptibility to new infections and can also activate old infections that have laid dormant within the body.
Bearing all this in mind it is important to reduce your mental stress in order to minimize the impact of any disease or infection. The same is true of the Coronavirus, you can take all the physical precautions, but this only goes so far in limiting any potential impact on your health. You have to also arm yourself mentally if you are to ensure the strongest defense against this virus and the best recovery possible, if in the worst-case scenario, should you become infected. All of this can be achieved with our 741Hz - Detox Your Body album.
Everyday problems and stresses can also take their toll on our ability to function properly and even our ability to recover from illness and heal ourselves naturally. Meditation has long been used as a means to calm the mind and remove the stress of every day by focusing on yourself in the present moment and letting your worries come and then go whilst focusing on your breathing and just sitting at the moment with a clear head. Ahead of free of your worries and the everyday noise of life. This has been known to have positive implications not only for our state of mind but also for our overall health and well-being because it enables us to remove any negative influence our thoughts can have on our body's primary functions. Meditation with our album 741Hz - Detox Your Body, quite literally puts you in tune with yourself and can help you maintain a balance in body, mind, and spirit.
During waking hours the most dominant brain waves are Beta Waves. They are present when we are alert, engaged in problem-solving, decision making or when we are focused on mental activity. When we are in this state, our body and mind are in STRESS mode which is good for a specific amount of time, but only if we counter it with REST! Understandably it is not good for us to be in a constant state of stress, like so many of us are in this chaotic modern world we all live in. This is why it is important to meditate and to rest as much as possible, whenever we can make time to do so.
This is where Alpha Waves can help us. Alpha Waves are dominant during those quiet moments when we have flowing thoughts and in some meditative states. With Alpha Waves we are in the present, being here, feeling “The Power of Now”. Alpha is a resting state of the brain, acting as a counter-balance for the Beta Waves Stress state we experience in our everyday consciousness. Whilst we are in this state our brain is particularly good at automatically setting task sequences in a more effective way. Alpha Waves help us to balance the Beta Waves Stress state and some of the key benefits include:
By eliminating stress we can think clearer and can become more rounded, wholesome and productive individuals. This by its very nature has a positive impact on our overall health too in mind and body.
Meditation can clearly help maintain a calm state of mind and by implication creates the best conditions for combating the Coronavirus by lessening the impact of the symptoms and facilitating a healthy recovery if necessary. However, with the use of the correct sound waves and frequencies as well, we can take this a step further.
The frequencies known as the ‘Solfeggio Frequencies’ are believed to have been the original frequencies that were used by Gregorian Monks as they meditated. The chants were based on six notes; 396Hz, 417Hz, 528hz, 639Hz, 741Hz, and 852Hz. These frequencies invoke deep emotional reactions that are not always within our control. They are essentially a means of drawing out emotional responses that are important and should be addressed if we are to remain fit and healthy. The frequencies cause resonance in the DNA and a process of Healing begins The older and weaker cells are destroyed and newer, stronger cells are created.
Similar to listening to Alpha Waves, by listening to our album 741Hz - Detox Your Body during meditation you can benefit from the healing power of sound. Like all healing soundwaves, the 741 Hz frequency is known for its ability to penetrate deeply into the conscious and subconscious mind. Although this frequency is known for its ability to free you of emotional restrictions in life, it is also very beneficial for helping remove toxins and electromagnetic radiation from your cells. In doing so this frequency can cleanse your cells from viral, bacterial and fungal infections. This makes regular listening of 741 Hz a crucial tool in your arsenal against the current health threat we all face in the form of the Coronavirus.
]]>Neurofeedback, also known as EEG (electroencephalogram) biofeedback, is a therapeutic intervention that provides immediate feedback from a computer-based program that assesses a client’s brainwave activity. The program then uses sound or visual signals to reorganize or retrain these brain signals. By responding to this process, clients learn to regulate and improve their brain function and to alleviate symptoms of various neurological and mental health disorders.
Biofeedback is a technique you can use to learn to control some of your body's functions, such as your heart rate. During biofeedback, you're connected to electrical sensors that help you receive information about your body.
This feedback helps you make subtle changes in your body, such as relaxing certain muscles, to achieve the results you want, such as reducing pain. In essence, biofeedback gives you the ability to practice new ways to control your body, often to improve a health condition or physical performance.
During a biofeedback session, electrodes are attached to your skin. Finger sensors can also be used. These electrodes/sensors send signals to a monitor, which displays a sound, flash of light, or image that represents your heart and breathing rate, blood pressure, skin temperature, sweating, or muscle activity.
When you're under stress, these functions change. Your heart rate speeds up, your muscles tighten, your blood pressure rises, you start to sweat, and your breathing quickens. You can see these stress responses as they happen on the monitor, and then get immediate feedback as you try to stop them. Biofeedback sessions are typically done in a therapist's office, but there are computer programs that connect the biofeedback sensor to your own computer.
A biofeedback therapist helps you practice relaxation exercises, which you fine-tune to control different body functions. For example, you might use a relaxation technique to turn down the brainwaves that activate when you have a headache.
Several different relaxation exercises are used in biofeedback therapy, including:
As you slow your heart rate, lower your blood pressure, and ease muscle tension, you'll get instant feedback on the screen. Eventually, you'll learn how to control these functions on your own, without the biofeedback equipment.
Electromyogram (EMG) - This measures muscle activity and tension. It may be used for back pain, headaches, anxiety disorders, muscle retraining after injury, and incontinence.
Thermal - This measures skin temperature. It may be used for headache and Raynaud's disease.
Neurofeedback or electroencephalography (EEG) - This measures brainwaves. It may be used for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), epilepsy and other seizure disorders.
Electrodermal activity (EDA) - This measures sweating and can be used for pain and anxiety.
Heart rate variability (HRA) - This measures heart rate. It may be used for anxiety, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and irregular heartbeat.
Each biofeedback therapy section lasts about 60-90 minutes. Usually, you can start to see biofeedback benefits within 10 sessions or less. Some conditions, such as high blood pressure, can take more sessions to improve.
Biofeedback can help with many different conditions. Here is a rundown of some biofeedback benefits:
Chronic pain. By helping you identify tight muscles and then learn to relax those muscles, biofeedback may help relieve the discomfort of conditions like low back pain, abdominal pain, temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), and fibromyalgia. For pain relief, biofeedback can benefit people of all ages, from children to older adults.
Headaches. Headaches are one of the best-studied biofeedback uses. Muscle tension and stress can trigger migraines and other types of headaches and can make headache symptoms worse. There is good evidence that biofeedback therapy can relax muscles and ease stress to reduce both the frequency and severity of headaches. Biofeedback seems to be especially beneficial for headaches when it's combined with medications.
Anxiety. Anxiety relief is one of the most common uses of biofeedback. Biofeedback lets you become more aware of your body's responses when you're stressed and anxious. Then you can learn how to control those responses.
Urinary Incontinence. Biofeedback therapy can help people who have trouble controlling the urge to use the bathroom. Biofeedback can help women find and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles that control bladder emptying. After several sessions of biofeedback, women with incontinence may be able to reduce their urgent need to urinate and the number of accidents they have. Biofeedback can also help children who wet the bed, as well as people with fecal incontinence (the inability to control bowel movements). Unlike drugs used to treat incontinence, biofeedback doesn't tend to cause side effects.
High Blood Pressure. Evidence on the use of biofeedback for high blood pressure has been mixed. Although the technique does seem to lower blood pressure slightly, biofeedback isn't as effective as medication for blood pressure control.
Other biofeedback uses include:

]]>Up until the 1960s, researchers believed that changes in the brain could only take place during infancy and childhood. By early adulthood, it was believed that the brain's physical structure was mostly permanent. Modern research has demonstrated that the brain continues to create new neural pathways and alter existing ones in order to adapt to new experiences, learn new information, and create new memories.
Psychologist William James suggested that the brain was perhaps not as unchanging as previously believed way back in 1890. In his book "The Principles of Psychology," he wrote, "Organic matter, especially nervous tissue, seems endowed with a very extraordinary degree of plasticity." However, this idea went largely ignored for many years.
In the 1920s, researcher Karl Lashley provided evidence of changes in the neural pathways of rhesus monkeys. By the 1960s, researchers began to explore cases in which older adults who had suffered massive strokes were able to regain functioning, demonstrating that the brain was much more malleable than previously believed. Modern researchers have also found evidence that the brain is able to rewire itself following damage.
“The mind of man is capable of anything.” - Joseph Conrad
In his groundbreaking book "The Brain that Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph From the Frontiers of Brain Science," Norman Doidge suggests that this belief that the brain was incapable of change primarily stemmed from three major sources, including:
Thanks to modern advances in technology, researchers are able to get a never-before-possible look at the brain's inner workings. As the study of modern neuroscience flourished, researchers demonstrated that people are not limited to the mental abilities they are born with and that damaged brains are often quite capable of remarkable change.
The human brain is composed of approximately 86 billion neurons. Early researchers believed that neurogenesis, or the creation of new neurons, stopped shortly after birth. Today, it's understood that the brain possesses the remarkable capacity to reorganize pathways, create new connections, and, in some cases, even create new neurons.
There are are a few defining characteristics of neuroplasticity, including:
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” - Viktor Frankl
There are two types of neuroplasticity, including:
The first few years of a child's life are a time of rapid brain growth. At birth, every neuron in the cerebral cortex has an estimated 2,500 synapses; by the age of three, this number has grown to a whopping 15,000 synapses per neuron.
The average adult, however, has about half that number of synapses. Why? Because as we gain new experiences, some connections are strengthened while others are eliminated. This process is known as synaptic pruning. Neurons that are used frequently develop stronger connections and those that are rarely or never used eventually die. By developing new connections and pruning away weak ones, the brain is able to adapt to the changing environment.
Since the brain is pivotal to all we think and do, by harnessing neuroplasticity we can improve everything we do and think. Neurofeedback works with these fundamental principles of neuroplasticity to help you take control of your mind.
We will talk about Neurofeedback and Biofeedback on Train your Brain - Part 3.
Your brain needs sleep to reset brain connections that are important for memory and learning. Just one night of losing sleep impedes the brain’s ability to reset itself, which impairs your memory. For adults 26 to 64 years old, the National Sleep Foundation recommends 7 to 9 hours of sleep per day.
Whether it’s learning a new language or a type of dance, the process of learning something new improves brain plasticity. Learning and practicing a new language has been found to strengthen the brain. You can also learn a musical instrument or an art skill.
The brain benefits from learning the way your body benefits from exercise. One study reveals that “the brains of the successful learners had undergone functional changes — the brain network was better integrated.”
But exercise itself is also beneficial to the brain. Cardiovascular exercises boost oxygen supply to the brain and increase brain volume. The Department of Health and Human Services recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise per week.
Stress is a silent killer, and it also diminishes neuroplasticity. If you can’t reduce the sources of stress in your life, you can change how you respond to it. An excellent way to de-stress is to surround yourself with nature or to travel. Meditation is another way to control your stress responses.
Dr. Michael Merzenich, author of Soft-Soft-Wired: How the New Science of Brain Plasticity Can Change Your Life says that brain change will be more significant if you’re motivated and alert. If you find a good reason for learning, then you will try harder and focus more on the task. This has been found to enhance neuroplasticity.
Researchers at Emory University have found that reading fiction creates heightened connectivity in the brain. Apart from this, reading stories provides a chance for you to relax.
You can reshape your life by reshaping your brain. Start doing the tips above to increase neuroplasticity at any age.

]]>“Don't believe everything you think. Thoughts are just that - thoughts.” - Alan Lokos
Delta brainwaves are slow, loud brainwaves (low frequency and deeply penetrating, like a drumbeat). They are generated in deepest meditation and dreamless sleep. Delta waves suspend external awareness and are the source of empathy.
Delta Waves begin to appear in stage 3 of the sleep cycle, and by stage 4 dominate almost all EEG activity. At this stage, healing and regeneration are stimulated and are considered essential for the restorative properties of sleep. An excess of delta waves when a person is awake may result in learning disabilities and ADHD and make it extremely difficult to focus. It has been found that individuals with various types of brain injuries produce delta waves in waking hours, making it extremely difficult to perform conscious tasks. Sleepwalking and talking tend to occur while delta production is high.
As Healing and regeneration are stimulated in this state, we can understand why deep restorative sleep is so essential to the healing process of the Mind and Body.
Theta brainwaves occur most often in sleep but are also dominant in deep meditation. Theta is our gateway to learning, memory, and intuition. In theta, our senses are withdrawn from the external world and focused on signals originating from within, we can understand it in a dream state where we can see, hear, feel, taste and smell. It is that twilight state which we normally only experience fleetingly as we wake or drift off to sleep. In theta, we are in a dream; vivid imagery, intuition and information beyond our normal conscious awareness. It’s where we hold our ‘stuff’, our fears, troubled history, and nightmares.
Theta waves are particularly involved in daydreaming and sleep. Cortical theta is observed frequently in young children, but in older children and adults, it tends to appear during meditative, drowsy, or sleeping states (but not during the deepest stages of sleep). When we are awake, excess theta levels can result in feeling scattered or day-dreamy and is commonly reported in ADHD. Too much theta in the left hemisphere is thought to result in a lack of organization, whereas too much theta on the right results in impulsivity. Theta in people with attention disorders is often seen more towards the front of the brain.
Frontal Midline Theta: Sinusoidal and high in amplitude (1-10 second bursts), generally occurs in response to events (ie. an ERP). This midline theta is associated with opening the sensory gate to the hippocampus for intermediate storage of episodic information. The frequency of frontal midline theta varies from 5-7.5 Hz, with an average of 6Hz. This rhythm is associated with working memory, episodic encoding and retrieval. It also appears during hypnosis and deep meditation. Frontal midline theta is thought to originate from the anterior cingulate. It mainly appears when one is performing a task requiring focused concentration, and its amplitude increases with the task load. It is mainly concentrated around Fz. When anxious and restless, the signal is reduced or even eliminated. When anxiety is medicated, the signal is restored. This suggests that the anterior cingulate cortex is involved in regulating the emotional state from restless anxiety to focused relaxation.
Alpha brainwaves are dominant during quietly flowing thoughts and in some meditative states. Alpha is ‘the power of now’, being here, in the present. Alpha is the resting state of the brain. Alpha waves aid overall mental coordination, calmness, alertness, mind/body integration and learning.
Alpha tends to be highest in the right hemisphere, and too little alpha in the right hemisphere correlates with negative behaviors such as social withdrawal. This is also seen in people with depression, particularly with too much alpha frontally. Alpha is involved in active and adequate inhibition of the irrelevant sensory pathways.
Alpha is related to resource allocation in the cortex and is produced as a result of a resonance process between the thalamus and the cortex. If we consider the thalamus the gateway to the cortex, alpha can be thought of as the mechanism by which the sensory gate to the cortex can be closed.
Alpha appears to be closely involved with reticular activation and participates in binding mechanisms and resource allocation in regards to orientation and task sequences.
Alpha diminishes during sleep onset, while focusing on tasks, and is also a normal consequence of aging. When alpha slows and theta increases in frequency, it is often an indicator of pathologically slowed high-amplitude alpha, which is associated with Parkinson’s disease and cognitive decline. This indicates The degradation of myelination and cell death in the cortex and reflects growing metabolic inefficiency.
After completing a task and given feedback, the high functioning brain shows increased levels of alpha. This is associated with the consolidation of the task events, called post reinforcement synchronization (PRS). This represents an alpha burst in the brain when the brain is consolidating information.
Beta brainwaves dominate our normal waking state of consciousness when attention is directed towards cognitive tasks and the outside world. Beta is a ‘fast’ activity, present when we are alert, attentive, engaged in problem-solving, judgment, decision making, or focused mental activity.
Beta brainwaves are further divided into three bands; Lo-Beta (Beta1, 12-15Hz) can be thought of as a 'fast idle', or musing. Beta (Beta2, 15-22Hz) is high engagement or actively figuring something out. Hi-Beta (Beta3, 22-38Hz) is a highly complex thought, integrating new experiences, high anxiety, or excitement.
Continual high-frequency processing is not an efficient way to run our brains, and can result in tension and difficulties relaxing, and if present at night, can result in difficulties settling the mind and falling asleep. Beta waves tend to dominate in the left hemisphere, and too much beta on the right can be correlated with mania.
There are discrepancies regarding how the three levels of beta and gamma divide their territory in the brain. While it is widely agreed that higher beta frequencies are more correlated with arousal, some convincingly suggest that they are mostly a result of muscle artifact. For example, Heller et al. found that anxiety was highly correlated with elevated right hemisphere beta, and more recent work has found that insomnia is correlated with higher temporal lobe frequencies of beta, and migraines are associated with central high beta.
Gamma brainwaves are the fastest of brain waves (high frequency, like a flute), and relate to simultaneous processing of information from different brain areas. Gamma brainwaves pass information rapidly and quietly. The most subtle of the brainwave frequencies, the mind has to be quiet to access gamma.
Gamma was dismissed as 'spare brain noise' until researchers discovered it was highly active when in states of universal love, altruism, and the ‘higher virtues’. Gamma is also above the frequency of neuronal firing, so how it is generated remains a mystery. It is speculated that gamma rhythms modulate perception and consciousness and that a greater presence of gamma relates to expanded consciousness and spiritual emergence.
Gamma is currently of limited clinical value, as it is argued that it cannot be effectively measured using current EEG technology, due to muscle contamination. While promising research has suggested that Gamma training can be successfully implemented to enhance intelligence, it will not be of proper clinical use until this issue of technology is resolved.
Gamma and theta work together to recruit neurons that stimulate local cell column activity. As such, it is associated with cortical processing related to cognitive functions, and is also potentially related to meditative states, although research on this relationship is vague.
“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.” - William James
Our brainwave profile and our daily experience of the world are inseparable. We cannot experience any form of reality without a corresponding change of brainwaves, When our brainwaves are out of balance, there will be corresponding problems in our emotional or neuro-physical health and vise Versa. Research has identified brainwave patterns associated with all sorts of emotional and neurological conditions.
Over-arousal in certain brain areas is linked with anxiety disorders, sleep problems, nightmares, hyper-vigilance, impulsive behavior, anger/aggression, agitated depression, chronic nerve pain, and spasticity. Under-arousal in certain brain areas leads to some types of depression, attention deficit, chronic pain, and insomnia. A combination of under-arousal and over-arousal is seen in cases of anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
Instabilities in brain rhythms correlate with tics, obsessive-compulsive disorder, aggressive behavior, rage, bruxism, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, migraines, narcolepsy, epilepsy, sleep apnea, vertigo, tinnitus, anorexia/bulimia, PMT, diabetes, hypoglycemia, and explosive behavior.

]]>Learning is the key to unlock doors to success. When you learn about you, what you want, and what specific difficulties you want to change, you are improving your personal life. To get started learning you, your wants, and so on you will need to use new ideas. If you need to hit the “refresh,” tab then go online to find articles. Read the information, since someone may provide you with the keys that unlock doors in your mind. You can also visit your local library, a great place to start improving your life.
Life is filled with problems, diagnostics, and solvers. To start improving your life you can start by reliving a time in your life. Look back to see obstacles in your pathway. What did you do to overcome those obstacles? Were your decisions capable of helping you handle the problems? Did your decisions have good or bad consequences? If you made good decisions then, can you use those decisions now to fix problems?
Every time we look back on the decisions we made, we can trace the seed we planted into our "Mind Garden", by seeing and understanding the seed that we have planted before, we can understand which actions we act are helping us to improve our personal life, and which actions are taking us step back.
Once you review your history of problem-solving tactics moves on to evaluate your skills. What skills do you have that will help you improve your personal life? What skills can you develop that will guide you to a prosperous life? Do you need to continue school? Can you find a better job?
So as I stated above, the first step to understanding yourself better is to start learning who are you, learning about the human body, mind or spirit can elevate your understanding of yourself to a whole new level, use Meditation, Yoga or any outer activity that fits you, to find your inner peace, to find relaxation, this will open the door to greater understanding of yourself. After you studied yourself a bit, look at your past, you can learn so much from your past, all the actions you did, all the choices you made, all of them are lessons for you, see which of them took you a step further, to be more mature, loving and compassionate, sharp in mind, and strong in body, and which took you a step back. Don't be afraid to use a paper and a pan, get a notebook it will make your personal life improving go so much faster.
How to travel the discovering road to unlock doors:
The first action you will need to take to unlock doors is to be honest. When you are honest with self and others, it helps reduce emotional chaos. When a person lies, they live in denial, anger, misery, hopelessness, etc and often drown in their own pity. Stop the pity and hop on the road, traveling down the trail ways to discover the keys that unlock your doors to success. To get started tell the truth about something that hinders you.
Start: I dwell on negative thoughts rather than focusing on positive thoughts. What can you do to change this? Say, my life is filled with stress, yet I feel I can change my life to make it better. Think about those people in the world who has it worse than you do.
Do you have addictions?
Consider drugs, sex, alcohol, and cigarettes and so on when thinking of addictions. Also, consider shopping, work, food and so on. If you discover an addiction ask, how can I take steps to change this harmful habits? Do I have support? Is there hope? Can I find help? How can I find that help? You will find many helpful resources, including addiction clinics of all sorts that will offer you a hand. Never deal with addictions alone. You will also need to work on your own to take control of your addictions. The key to success is accepting you have a problem. Honesty is the key that opens many doors. Once you accept you will find it easier to get help.
Looking ahead:
Looking ahead is good. When you look ahead, you are visualizing your future. You want to avoid dwelling on reaching tomorrow.
Rather keep one day in your mind and work on that day to complete your goals. Taking it one day at a time is the key to success. You have many options, yet it takes you to discover those options.
Communication:
Communication is the ultimate key that opens many doors. When you learn to communicate effectively, you are taking steps to improve your personal life. To learn effective communication skills, consider continuing your education. You can also learn communication tools by frequently talking with others about positive topics.
Taking responsibility:
The most important one is to remember that it is all in your hands! ask yourself, do I blame outer people for the things that I have done? taking responsibility for your actions and choices will give you a greater value to your action and choices. By understanding that you are the only one that responsible for your life, you will start cleaning your mind from outer people thoughts, you will not act to satisfy your family and friends, and you will see that every choice you make in life comes with consequences.

Self-confidence is a feeling that allows people to have positive, yet realistic views of themselves and their circumstances. Self-confident people have confidence in their own abilities, have a general sense of control over their lives, and believe that, within reason, they will be able to do what they want and need to do.
Confidence is a perspective that is accomplished through experiences. When a person experiences success, that person will tend to expect to be successful. And that very expectation will cause a feeling of self-confidence.
For example, A man wants to be a professional boxer, so he gets a manager and takes lessons. His manager will not put him into a bout until he has developed enough proficient fighting skills. And even then, the manager will only put him up against a competitor that he knows his fighter can overpower. When his fighter beats the opponent, he is successful and starts to gain confidence in his capability.
With each match, the manager puts his prizefighter up against a contender who is a slightly better challenger than the last, but not good enough to beat his man. By the end of the third fight, the young contestant begins to expect to win his fourth, and so his confidence continues to bloom. This series of events continues to repeat itself. And as long as the fighter contestant is victorious, his expectations of success and his feelings of self-confidence will continue to escalate.
As another example: A young lady who is scared to death of being in high places wants to learn to dive into a swimming pool from a very high diving board. So she finds a diving coach who asks her to take a jump into the pool from the first rung of the ladder going up to the high diving board. The first step of the ladder is not awfully high, so the young lady feels confident, and she dives from that rung, and lands in the water unharmed.
Next, the athletic coach has her take a jump from the second rung of the ladder, and so forth. I assume that you see what's going on here. With each new step, she takes as she climbs higher up the ladder since the girl was able to jump without fear or harm, and the next higher step is only slightly higher then the last, the fear factor is negligible, and the girl expects to be successful. When she dives in and is unhurt, the girl's self-confidence increases, and her expectation of success on the next step up the ladder increases.
If a person who has a long history of success and feelings of confidence does fail, they still tend to expect success the next time out. Conversely, when a person who is weak in the self-confidence department fails, they tend to lose confidence and expect failure, which can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Having true self-confidence doesn't mean that individuals will be able to do everything. People, who have true self-confidence, usually have expectations that are practical. Even when some of their expectations are not met, they continue to be confident and to accept themselves.
People, who are not self-confident, tend to depend excessively on the approval of others in order to feel self-confidence. They usually don't take risks because of the fear of failure. They make light of themselves and tend to discount compliments that they receive.
Conversely, confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they generally have confidence in their own prowess. They acknowledge themselves, and they don't feel they have to conform in order to be admired.
Just because one feels self-confidence in one or more parts of their life, doesn't mean that they will feel overconfident in every single part of their life. For example, a person might feel optimistic about their athletic prowess, but not feel confident as far as members of the opposite sex are involved, such as in a dating situation, or social relationships.
HOW IS Self-confidence Initially developed?
Many powerful and effective truths have an impact on the development of self-confidence. Parents' attitudes are critical to the way children think about themselves, especially in their early years. When parents provide admiration, children receive a solid foundation for self-esteem. If one or both parents are excessively demanding or critical, or if they are overprotective and discourage moves toward independence, children may be fated to believe they are incapable, inadequate, or inferior.
However, if parents encourage a child's moves toward self-reliance, and they are not overly critical when the child makes mistakes, the child will learn to accept herself, and will be on the way to developing self-confidence.
A lack of confidence is not necessarily related to a lack of ability. A lack of self-confidence is often the result of centering much too strongly on the ridiculous expectancy of other people in particular friends and parents. The control of peers can be more powerful than that of parents in shaping the feelings about one's self.
Assumptions That Continue to Affect Self-confidence
In response to external influences, people create beliefs. Some of these are helpful and some are not so helpful. Several assumptions that can interfere with self-confidence and positive ways of thinking are:
ASSUMPTION: I must always be successful at every challenge that I undertake. This assumption is a totally unrealistic assumption. In life, each person has his strengths and his weaknesses. While it is important to learn to do the best that one can, it is more important to learn to accept yourself as being human, and deficient. Let yourself feel good about what you are good at, and accept the fact that you don't know everything and you don't need to.
ASSUMPTION: I must be perfect, and loved by everyone, and satisfy everyone. Again, this assumption is a totally unrealistic assumption. All human beings are less than perfect. It's well-advised to develop personal standards and values that are not very dependent on the approval of other people.
ASSUMPTION: Everything that happened to me in the past remains in control of my feelings and behaviors in the present.
ALTERNATIVE: While it is true that your confidence was especially vulnerable to external influences when you were a child as you gain maturity appreciation and point of view on what those influences have been. In doing so, you can choose which influences you will continue to allow to have an effect on your life. You don't have to be helpless based on what happened in the past
HERE ARE SOME STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING CONFIDENCE
Emphasize Your Strengths. Grant yourself credit for everything that you can do. And bestow upon yourself credit for every new experience you are willing to try.
Take risks. Adopt the attitude of: I never fail, because there are NO failures. However, sometimes I find out what doesn't work and once I've learned what doesn't work in a given situation, I can test something else.
Use Self-Talk: Use self-talk as a tool to counter harmful assumptions. Then, tell yourself to stop. Substitute more reasonable assumptions. For example, when you catch yourself expecting yourself to be perfect, remind yourself that it is impossible to do everything perfectly, and that it's only possible to do things to the best of your ability. This allows you to accept yourself as you are working towards improvement.
Make mental movies: Picture yourself in scenes that you currently have low levels of self-confidence in. But see yourself behaving in the way that a person who has tremendous confidence would. There are powerful Self-hypnosis and NLP processes that you can use to instill a sizable amount of self-confidence from within your subconscious mind. There are even NLP techniques that will let you take confidence that you do have in areas of your life, and then transplant that confidence to areas of your life that require more self-confidence!
Self-Evaluate: Learn to judge yourself independently. Refrain from the habitual sense of confusion that comes from relying on the opinions of others.

You can commit by choosing a new habit. "Today I plan to drink more water". Some of us detest water, yet water is our way of living healthier. Instead of detesting something that will save your life, start saying, today I will drink more water. Even if you start out drinking a glass for the first couple of days, you are making changes, and in time you will Change Habits.
Today I am going to stop judging others and myself. This is a common mistake people make in the world. They spend time judging others and themselves. This gets them nowhere but in a world of chaos. You make your bed, you must learn to sleep in it, which is why you should change your ways.
Do you think negative? "I can’t change this. My life is full of nonsense, I can’t swing it anymore. Why me? Who put a tag on my head, saying persecute me". If you spend your life thinking negative and saying negative connotations, try changing your ways today. For instance, say, I can change something and I am going to. Instead of saying life is full of nonsense, accept it as truth yet move ahead to make your life better. "Why me?" is a common question, which no one knows why, yet we have to accept it, make better decisions and move ahead if we want to Change Habits in ourselves. If you feel persecuted, ask what you are doing that makes you feel this way. Do you have friends or family members weighing you down? If so, then kick their butt down the road and make new friends. No one in life is worth you suffering ongoing. You have the power to Change Habits and change yourself, yet you do not have the power to change other people.
When you start to make changes to improve your life, start small. Instead of jumping the gun, take baby steps to success. Too many times people try to change overnight. This only leads to frustration. Habits are patterns in our brain, to Change Habits you have to start with the beginning of the pattern, with the action that triggers the pattern and change it, step by step you will Change Habits.
When you are working to Change Habits and your life makes sure you seek support and feedback. You do not have to walk the road to success alone. Feedback is found at your library, the Internet, at colleges, and so on. You will find support along these channels as well. Ask someone you trust to support you and give you feedback when needed also.

Here's a real-life story which demonstrates what happens to our vibration when we are out of INTEGRITY.
"I was feeling pretty upbeat after our coaching session yesterday and really excited about winning a prize pack from the radio station.
After picking up my prize, I noticed Spyware, an electronics store, and decided to go in and compare prices with an item I had just bought from Radio Shack yesterday. Spyware had the exact same item on sale for $10.00 less so I bought it with the intention of returning the first item to Radio Shack. When I compared the two products they were exactly the same, with the exact same bar codes and packaging. However, I noticed the cheaper item had one wire a couple of centimeters shorter than the more expensive item.
“Plant seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love; it will all come back to you in abundance. This is the law of nature.” -
I made a decision to return the item with the shorter wire (the one purchased at Spyware) back to Radio Shack and keep the original item. Thus saving $10.00 but keeping the better product.
After the clerk had finished all the paperwork I felt extremely guilty. But then I rationalized it was too late to do anything about it and told myself I would just have to let this guilt go. What a way to bring my high vibration to a crashing halt. I reminded myself that this is why I shouldn't do things like this in the first place because not only can I not live with the guilt but now it is a double whammy because I'm so aware of my vibration and this is bringing it way down."
Anytime we do something that is not in alignment with our core values, we feel negative emotions which hinder us from receiving the real desires of our heart, and from being in the Present of Abundance.
The antidote is simple: be honest, pay all debts, return what you've borrowed, speak kindly about others and keep your word, and you will see that Abundance will start flowing into your life. In other words, do nothing that will hinder the flow of pure positive energy and Abundance toward you. Be true to your self you'll open the way for receiving everything that will make you happy.
This same client had such an opportunity to 'make it right' on an energetic level. Again, she wrote:
"I was feeling pretty bad when I returned to my office, and then remembered I needed to go to the bank. I went up to the bank machine and there was $40.00 sitting in the slot. Someone had forgotten to take it with them after they finished their transaction. They had also forgotten to take their bank slip. I took both out of the machine and put them in my pocket while I did my own banking.
Now I was dealing with the moral dilemma of what I should do with the found money. I so badly wanted to keep the money as I am heavily in debt with all my credit cards almost maxed out. I tried rationalizing: The bank slip doesn't have the account number on it so it's not like one can trace it but it did say that the person had a balance of $195.00 which isn't very much.
I remembered how I felt when I once left $20.00 in the bank machine myself and went back for it but it was gone.
I then decided to go into the bank and leave the $40.00 with a bank teller. While I was waiting in line, another lady came into the bank and told me I left my card in the bank machine so I went back to get it. Then she came back again saying now I'd left my bank slip in the machine. This is how frazzled I was!
Anyways, I gave the money to a bank teller with my business card and I am feeling much better.
I feel like the Universe gave me an opportunity not only to redeem myself but also an opportunity to change my vibration and my Abundance flowing after something I've done in the past that I feel bad about."
“Making a dream into reality begins with what you have, not with what you are waiting on.” -
Indeed! This client demonstrates the wonderful way the Law of Attraction and Abundance works: Her dominant intention was to offer a high vibration so that she can attract more Abundance and money and enjoy her life.
The Law of Attraction arranged an opportunity (the item from Radio Shack.) Her actions in the first opportunity caused her vibration to drop, which didn't feel good. So she RESET her intention to feel good, and the Law of Attraction sent her another opportunity to take actions that feel better.
As we moving in the world with the present of Abundance, we have an inner and outer flow of Love and Money. Abundance is not the number of materials one hold in specific time and space. Abundance is a vibration, it is a state of being. being in Abundance can be understood not by a thought alone but by a feeling too.
We can feel when we are vibrating Abundance around us, and we can see the results of Abundance flowing into our life.
A great way to be in the Frequency of Abundance is to give thanks to all the things you got in life. While setting our mind on the things we have and not on the things we miss, we send a vibration of Abundance from us to the world, and with time we will see Abundance flowing back towards us.

The Spirit Guides work to guide you by working through your dreams and intuition. That quiet voice you hear is often the voice of your teachers and Spirit Guides. They may also make themselves known to you through signs and symbols. For me, when I am at a crossroads in my life or journeying through a personal or emotional challenge- I find feathers everywhere. I also see feather tattoos, hawks and hear certain songs. It is a reminder for me to be still and listen to the guidance of my own personal Spirit Guides. The feathers are representative of the energy of my Spirit Guides- one being a powerful Shaman and the others are from the Angelic Realm.
Some individuals have one guide and others have multitudes- much of this depends on the path and purpose of your life. For instance, a teacher/professor may have several Spirit Guides- one to guide them through the academic nature of their profession and others to assist them with the great emotional requirements of performing such an important task. A policeman, fireman, or soldier will often have a "team" of warriors guiding and protecting them. Much of who your Spirit Guides are indicative of your own personal journey through life.
“Your Spirit Guides and Angels will never let you down as you build a rapport with them. In the end, they may be the only ones who don't let you down.” -
Spirit Guides are almost never a loved one who has passed away. Although our loved ones stay with us in spirit and we can contact them, they do not serve the same role as a "Spirit Guides". Some individuals have Archangels and Angels as Spirit Guides who are always with them. Yet, the presence of Angels does not always mean they are your Spirit Guides. Angels can be called in times of distress to assist you for a short time. If you have an Archangel or Angel as a guide, chances are your mission in life is a complex one. Through my experience with being a psychic reader and spiritual teacher- I have found that individuals with a challenging life path often have Angels as Spirit Guides.
Your Spirit Guides are always with you, whether you acknowledge their presence or not. You cannot call them to you or send them away- they are part of you and your journey. However, you can choose to gain the knowledge of who they are and what their role in your life is. You can interact with your Spirit Guides in a more proactive way. If you want to know who your Spirit Guides are, just ask. Get in a quiet and meditative space and ask that they reveal themselves to you. Do not get discouraged if you do not figure it out right away. Beings from the spiritual realm often communicate through signs and symbols. Once you ask- you must trust your own wisdom. Pay attention to the pictures that appear in your mind. If you see a man in a suit- stay with that- it could be he is a philosopher or scientist. You may see a Native American Indian, a Buddhist Monk or you may see nothing at all. Keep your mind and intuition open. Pay attention to things that keep coming up after you have asked that they reveal who they are. If you are having a challenge discovering who your Spirit Guides are you can also contact a professional psychic/intuitive to assist you.
Working with your Spirit Guides can be an incredible tool for your own personal and spiritual growth. Unlike beings who are in the physical- their wisdom and advice are not influenced by the "world". The Spirit Guides dwell in a higher vibrational plane and the mundane particulars of your situation are not relevant. For example- if you seek guidance from your spirit guide regarding a relationship- they will lead you to focus on what you are learning, what you need to learn, what you are teaching your partner, and what is the true meaning of your relationship. The fact that they leave the toilet seat up or are terrible at budgeting the household finances will be irrelevant. The information that you will be provided with- will be actions that YOU can take to gain more understanding. You can also ask your Spirit Guides to assist you in physical healing. Before you go to sleep, ask that as you are sleeping- you receive healing.
“Pay attention to your life and you will see bits of 'magic' that happens precisely when you need it to happen.” -
You are never alone. Never. Take faith in knowing and understanding that there is so much magic and mystery in this life. Just for a moment let the "world" disappear. Raise your vibration and allow the beautiful gifts of the spirit to wash over you. Life is so much more than what we see. Open your spiritual eyes and hearts and you will discover a world of wisdom, beauty, and peace that you never knew existed. Of course, you can always choose to not believe. It is always your choice. But, why not? Why not step into another level of existence? Why not believe in magic? You do not have to announce it to the office, but you can embrace the wonders of spirit in your own heart. It will envelop you in a light of love and understanding- and will mysteriously transform you to a more connected and loving being.

Once you build courage, you will learn to self-direct you in life. You will learn to accept punishment and rewards gracefully. A courageous person will often feel motivated to accept blame and responsibility while reviewing their actions and using what they learn to move forward. Courageous people will step to the front, rather than stepping back when opportunities come their way. On the other hand, a courageous person will step back and take a view on his or her mistakes gracefully.
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” -
A person willing to improve their life will relax. This person will relax even when plans fail. For instance, if it stormed the next day the person will find something else to occupy his or her time and feel just as happy about joining this adventure.
To become successful (Have you felt a Contraction in your stomach now? if yes.. why? what concept you have under the word successful?) and improve your life you will need to learn how to trust you. When you trust you, you can trust others as well. Unfortunately, we live in a world where trust is hard to find, yet when you trust you, you can’t blame others when things go wrong.
Improving your life includes using your creative and critical mind. When you can create new ideas, you are off to the road to success. You have many options in this world, it takes you to pull up resources to find those options.
Sometimes in life, we feel uncomfortable. In fact, this is common. Are you willing to accept your discomforts? Perhaps at an interview, you feel misplaced. Are you willing to accept this discomfort and find a way to deliver a good speech to impress the interviewer? Alternatively, are you willing to allow negative energies to cost you the job?
“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because, without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.” -
Do you accept?
Do you accept the things you cannot change? Do you accept the things you have control over? Do you accept other people regardless of how these people act? Do you accept you for who you are? Do you accept the changes that life brings your way?
Acceptance is your key to happiness. When you can learn to accept the good with the bad, you can learn how to live happier and improve your personal life. If you cannot accept, however, well, reread this article again.

So what is important? To know how to say - Enough, not more.
Saying enough is the first step to Appreciate Yourself, but this is not the last step so what is the Secret to Appreciate Yourself And What You Have?
There is, here and now, much to appreciate. There is life itself with friends, family, and everything that is naturally before us. We just have to look around and take it in. Perhaps it is time to make a list of all the good things we have to be grateful for.
Are there people in your life that you would miss dearly if they were not here? When you go for a walk don't you see, hear, and smell, many things to appreciate and feel nice about? Like the flowers, trees, birds, and the clouds in the sky. A caterpillar crossing the sidewalk or your neighbor waving. A cute pup or child enthusiastically enjoying that moment in life.
When you appreciate your environment, you change your state of mind into a grateful one, by that you will Appreciate Yourself more and more with time.
Just start your day with 3-5 things that you are grateful, it can be your pillow or your bed. Use the words I give thanks for my... and for my.. and you will see that with time you will start to Appreciate Yourself more.
So don't wait to Appreciate Yourself, just start today.

Zen is a part of the Japanese culture and it is a direct link to Buddhism. A lot of people have studied Zen as part of their learning and schooling, but when it comes to Zen in the western world, this is something relatively new. You will find that once you get into the training this is something that you use to help you out of the difficult situations. You'll want to keep in mind that there are many ways and reasons to use Zen in your life that you may become overwhelmed with it all.
If you are interested in learning more about Zen and get the training for Zen, then you'll want to keep in mind that there are many institutions that teach it. You may want to check out some of the local yoga classes and instructors, but also even some of the martial art instructors. If they don't teach others about Zen, then you will be able to find someone who does through these instructors.
When you get your Zen training you will be able to find answers within yourself. You will be able to give up things like addiction and find something to believe in yourself. You'll want to keep in mind that there are many positive aspects to learning Zen, but with the meditations, you'll find that it's not as easy as you would think. There are many teachings and there are many depths of the practice. You will notice that there is an ever-learning aspect of Zen, but the more you try, the more you will benefit from the training.
The instruction of Zen will place an emphasis on your new awakening. Basically, this is where you discover truly what lies within and also what you are capable of doing for yourself. Many people who are addicted will use Zen to help them overcome some of their issues and attachments to drugs. This is because it allows you to find inner strength. It will allow you to figure yourself out. You'll become very empowered with the training.
Once you have begun your training, you will notice an immediate change within yourself. You may begin to feel better about yourself. You may even begin to feel relieved. Often, people are inspired by their first onset feelings that they will begin to feel different about themselves. Overall, people are enlightened by the art of Zen and they also seek more, because of the positive energy that it seems to put forth.
The first thing that you have to do when it comes to Zen training is to try to understand the history and culture that comes with the art of Zen. You'll also want to consider that there are many reasons why someone will begin training, but it will encourage you to seek more knowledge out because you feel so much better about yourself and about most situations when you take the time out to become one with your surrounding and become neutral. You will be able to see the changes in yourself with just some "beginner" classes.

Sea salt is the best way to Cleaning Crystals. It will dispel any dis-ease and negativity. It is also used as a psychic and physical disinfectant. It can be mixed with water or used dry.
Place the stones in the container and let them soak overnight. If you are lucky enough to live by the ocean, you can bring the saltwater, which is a powerful tool to Cleaning Crystals, in a jar and soak your crystals in it overnight.
The light of the moon is also a powerful cleansing agent for Cleaning Crystals. Place the stones outside during a full to new moon. Place necklaces in tree branches where the moon will be sure to hit them. The waning moon is a good time to dispel any negative energies from the stone.
Don't place them in sunlight ever. The sun can fade the intricate color from the stones. It can also cause cracking or internal damage if they are left out too long in the sun.
"Crystals are living beings at the beginning of creation." Nikola Tesla
Burying your crystal in herbs such as sage, sandalwood, frankincense, or myrrh can also help in Cleaning Crystals. This has a lower cost and is gentle to your stones.
You can also bury them in the dirt. This method is used for deep cleanings. Simply dig a hole and place the crystal in with the point down, and cover. Place some kind of marker so you don't lose your stone.
The amount of time needed is up to you and how you feel the crystal is recharging. You can also use flower pots for this as well.

]]>Most of us cant perceive energy with our own eyes, but it doesn't mean that it is not there, just like we can't see the electromagnetic field our heartbeat is creating, with training we would be able to feel our different energy or aura layers.
]]>
Many new-age mystics just tell you to imagine and visualize a white light coming down and engulfing your whole aura, this sometimes doesn't work well. I usually clean every layer as I go along.
Start by playing the music, to achieve a state of relaxation you can also count 1 to 10 or say to yourself, upstairs, downstairs, over and over again until you feel relaxed and sleepy.
Once you done that, mentally say to yourself ; I am at level 1' and move your awareness from head to toe or vice versa, the idea is to scan your level 1 for blockages, once you sense 'something there', move your awareness to it, it should 'melt' or disperse. If it is still there, try breathing its colors, you have to experiment with the color that will remove the block, repeat the same procedure with all other levels, eg. I am level 2, I am in Level 3, When you say this, you are telling your mind to adjust to the next level using intent, Intent is the force that changes the level.
Some times if you are at level 1, and you sense something 1 foot in front of you and you cannot get it off, and you try the usual color breathing method, This could be due to the fact that this blockage is actually at some other level eg. Level 3 and you can usually remove the block if you move your awareness to level 3.
Sometimes when you move your awareness into the blockages, you get 'impression' like a past event or sometimes it plays like a movie in your mind's eye, this is usually the reason for the block.
After you finished the 7 layers Aura Cleansing process, stay in that state a few more moments taking a deep breath in and out, feel the sensations in the body, enjoy every sensation you have.

Enjoy!
