Stress Curer

The Stress Relief Meditation Audio Solution

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:03:31 +0000

You can escape from the effects of stress, quickly, safely and reliably. The solution is stress relief meditation audio. I have proven this for myself and it has become a part of my daily routine that I never miss. Technology is a part of our problem, keeping us always available and able to work anywhere. The current economic climate makes it all the harder to say no to this.

You feel under pressure all the time and there seems to be no way out of it. You never seem to get any ‘me time’ because there is always something else that you have to do. If you get a few minutes to yourself, you just sit in front of the TV watching the latest depressing news and maybe you get yourself a little drink. But you don’t really relax and you don’t feel any relief.

It doesn’t have to be like this. There are some great meditation audio programs available that can help to make the most of those spare few moments that would normally just be wasted. They come in several different types and there is something to suit every personality and every situation. They range from the ones that help you to do traditional forms of meditation, to those that do the whole thing for you.

If you have never tried meditation, you may not be aware of how deeply relaxing and refreshing it can be. Maybe you have no desire to try it and anyway, lack of time is your problem. How can the solution be to do something that takes up even more time? Well, you don’t have to ‘learn’ to meditate anymore. There is technology that actually does it for you. It is called binaural beat technology.

It puts you into a deep meditative state without you having to do anything except where your headphones for a few minutes. Don’t watch the news and get more stressed. Kick back and really relax. There are all kinds of this kind of program in different formats, on CD and MP3. There are plenty of free trials around too, so you can check them out and find what works for you.

Another alternative is subliminal audio. Listen to soothing sounds while your brain is programmed to relax, be self confident, make money or any number of things. I was very skeptical about these but the ones that I have tried have been deeply relaxing, regardless of what ever else they were intended to do.

These stress relief meditation audio have been one of the great discoveries that came out of my period of ill health due to stress. I don’t go a day now without my dose of technological relaxation. In fact, I like to start the day like this and get my retaliation in first. Days tend to carry on in the way they begin, so I like to begin well.

Subliminal Audio?

admin — Tue, 04 May 2010 20:16:27 +0000

The title of this post has a question mark because I have never been sure what to make of all these subliminal audio stories. I have heard of the, (old wives tales?), about them being banned from advertising because they are too powerful. And then there have been all the ridiculous stories about playing records backwards and being compelled to go on a shooting spree.

I never believed that stuff, but as to whether they work at all, I’m not so sure. I had never really had the chance to try them out until recently. I got sent a link to a free download. It was on a site belonging to Real Subliminals and they have a whole range of tracks that can apparently help you in all kinds of ways.

The free sample they offer, in exchange for your email, is called Deep Calm. It seemed like a good fit for me so I decided to give it a go. The thing is though, they were so inexpensive, I decided to take a punt on another one. Having secretly harboured a desire for wealth, I bought ‘Attract Money in Abundance’ and I got ‘Attitude of Gratitude’ free. So now I’ve got 3 of them to play with.

I know that an important part of the law of attraction is to focus on what you want, rather than on what you don’t want. Being grateful for what you have is a good way to stay positive. So the attracting money and gratitude audios are a good fit. Being relaxed and stress free also helps you to maintain a resourceful state and come up with the right ideas that are going to help you to get things done.

So what are these things like? For each audio, there are four tracks, each of roughly ten minutes. The first three have different types of pleasant sounds and the fourth is silent. I believe that each one has different parts of a subliminal script being spoken outside of conscious awareness. The sounds are things like breaking surf, water lapping against the side of a boat or countryside sounds with birdsong.

The silent tracks allow you to get the benefit of the subliminal messages while doing other stuff. Having said that, I like to have the other tracks playing while I work on my computer. They seem to blend in to the background and don’t disturb my concentration at all. In fact I find it helpful and very pleasant.

But the important thing is, do they work? Some testimonials on the website report remarkable things happening soon after people started to use them. I did have some money come in, but I would rather attribute that to work I had done earlier. Whether they will help to be more financially productive in the future remains to be seen.

One thing I can say about them is that they are certainly very relaxing. I can play any of the three audio sets and I almost immediately feel calm and relaxed. I am not sure if that is due to the hidden messages or just the sounds themselves. I don’t really know what would constitute a fair trial. As far as the subliminal audio messages are concerned, the jury is still out.

One product I came across offered subliminal cures for depression. Having suffered depression myself, I would be very wary of this one. I would be deeply skeptical about its effectiveness. it could even be potentially dangerous if it encouraged a patient to give up other treatments.

Real Subliminal do not offer anything like this, which I think is a good thing. I do think it is worth getting their free download. Those few minutes of calm can be priceless.

Mike Dooley – Playing The Matrix

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:58:26 +0000

I have just spent the day at an awesome event presented by Mike Dooley of ‘The Secret’ fame. It was part of his World Tour III – Playing the Matrix and Getting What You (Really) Want. It took place in Manchester in the UK but the tour continues into 2011. If it comes to a city near you, I highly recommend going along.

The matrix by Mike Dooley is an elegantly simple chart illustrating his model of the true nature of reality and the flow of creation. It totally resonated with me and gave me a whole new perspective on setting and achieving goals.

Everything is based on the belief that THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS. If you do not believe that what is in your life has been created by the way you have thought in the past, then this is not for you. If you do accept that you do manifest your reality and want to be able to do it consciously, that is what the Matrix is all about.

I have always had great difficulty with traditional goal setting methods. Life is divided into five or sometimes seven areas. You are supposed to set goals in each area for one year, three years, five years, ten years etc. Most of these goals seem to revolve around stuff and the point of setting the goals is to get you excited.

I sit down to write them and I feel depressed. I need to make a list of about 42 things and then read the list several times a day. Well, 42 things is just too many to think about and I don’t even want most of them anyway. But you have to do this process or something terrible will happen.

Then there is the question of do you keep focusing on these things or do you visualize and emotionalize them and then let them go. There seems to be some disagreement among the self help gurus. The matrix takes care of all this.

You get to decide what you REALLY want, which is not actually the stuff and you can express it in a few short phrases. These are the big picture end results that you are looking for. They are general enough that you can last a lifetime without having to change them. These are what you are attached to.

Then you can get down to some of the details like the house or the car or the zero gravity chair (that’s one of mine). These, you get pictures of and stick them on your fridge. Visualize them as if you already own them. Feel what it is like to use them and get excited. This is where you put the emotion in.

But this is not what you are attached to. You have left it open to the Universe to provide something so much bigger and better that you couldn’t even imagine it. And when all this is in place, you take action. It doesn’t have to be a perfect action.

In mike’s words, ‘Do whatever you can, with whatever you’ve got, from wherever you are. It may not seem to leading towards your dream, but just choose the least worst option and get started. Do all the nonspiritual, boring basic stuff.

Your job is just to pitch the balls. You never know which one the Universe is going to knock out of the park. But you’ve got to be in the game. The more things you do, the more opportunities there are for one of them to lead somewhere.

The trick is to not be attached to the details. The path that leads to your big, general goal might be an entirely unexpected one, but who cares. If you got the first part right, you are getting what you really wanted, not just the shiny stuff.

I probably haven’t put this across very well at all. You needed to be there. It is a day that is intriguing, inspiring and insightful. It is laced with humour and mike’s famous ‘Notes from the Universe’.

It is not one of these Tony Robbins style events where you come away totally pumped, but it just wears off after a few days. I left with a quiet certainty that I know what I am doing now. I know how to work with the flow of the Universe to get what I REALLY want.

Rhonda Byrne and the producers of The Secret did a good job in bringing the law of attraction to a wider audience but they only scratched the surface. Mike Dooley gives you the tools to put it into practice. The best part is that it doesn’t seem like a chore. It can be fun and you don’t need to obsess about it.

Check out TUT’s Adventurers Club and see if the world tour is coming your way. If you want to know how to be happy, stress free and fulfilled, you really should go.

Omega 3 Fish Oil And Depression

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:47:01 +0000

Unless you live in a cave in some remote part of the world, you can’t fail to be aware of the buzz surrounding omega-3 fish oil supplements. They have grown in popularity of the last few years, to become one of the most commonly used supplements around.

Their list of alleged health benefits are legendary.
Heart disease prevention
Digestive system
Brain function
Joint care
Skin and hair health
vision

The list goes on. The is a substantial body of evidence for some of these health boosting claims, particularly in the area of heart disease. Omega-3 is beneficial for those who have no history of heart disease, as well as those who are at risk or recovering from a heart attack.

What has been less well documented and more questioned is the effect on the brain and cognitive functioning. But recent research is giving more credence to this too. And more relevantly here, scientists are beginning to link some psychological conditions with lowered levels of omega-3.

Some people who tend to suffer from depression have been found to be deficient. Some scientists believe that other conditions may benefit form a boost in omega-3. A new study will look into whether it can prevent the development of bipolar disorder in children.

A recent Austrian study showed that fish oil supplements seemed to prevent teens and young adults at-risk for developing schizophrenia from the onset of full blown psychosis.

There have been many anecdotal reports from people who feel that their mood, memory and concentration have improved. These have been looked on with a degree of skepticism in the past but are beginning to look more realistic now.

I know that since my own bout of depression a couple of years ago, my memory has been considerably worse than it used to be. I mean, to the extent of not being able to recall the names of people that I work with.

I have found a source for what I believe is the best omega-3 supplement available and I will be trying it out over the next few months.

My wife has MS and other sufferers have reported improvements in balance and cognitive function. She will also be doing her own trial to see if she notices any benefit.

I should point out that some authorities still believe that we can get enough omega-3 from our diet, without resorting to supplements. My response would be that with the levels of obesity going through the roof, we are not that great at taking care of our diet.

Give me the supplements.

There is a good free guide to buying omega-3 supplements. You can download it HERE.

Sedona Method Progress, Or Lack Of

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 17:10:55 +0000

I have to admit that this thing is harder than I expected. It is one thing to follow along with the Sedona Method lessons, but it is another to remember to use the techniques while life is going on around you.

The ironic thing is that it is in the real life situations that the opportunities to apply the method come up. When I am listening to a CD and I am asked to think of a situation I am struggling with, I find it difficult to bring it up and feel any emotion about it.

I find myself trying to release feelings that just aren’t there and not noticing that any change is taking place. But then I come across situations that trigger intense emotion, but it never occurs to me until later that I could have used the method.

My wife is also following the course. She has Multiple Sclerosis and finds it very difficult to do things that used to be easy. On top of that, she was never the most patient of people before. Her reaction to the smallest thing going wrong can be extreme to say the least.

I have constantly told her over the years that what you give energy to is what you create. By always focusing on what she can’t do, she creating more lack of ability. Somethings when I hear hear one of her outbursts, it is like a knife through my heart.

Of course, it is an ideal opportunity to release on those feelings, for both of us. But do we remember to do it? Never. For some people, including us, a degree of persistence is required to internalize the process and have it available at any moment.

It is only as I write this that I have noticed that we are missing these golden opportunities to practice. That could be a breakthrough in itself. And it convinces me all the more how valuable this program could be for us.

I am feeling much happier than when I started writing. In fact I am literally sitting here with a smile on my face. This is an emotion that I am feeling. Perhaps I should try to release on it. We are told that feelings are real and emotions are liars.

I find that when I ask the question, ‘could I let it go?’, the answer is no. But that is an honest answer which also makes it a valid answer. Apparently, you can still release even if the answer is no. Having tried the process once, if anything I feel the emotion more strongly.

I think that that is better than keeping it suppressed. I feel inclined to go off now and try more repetitions. At least I have a real emotion to work with now. Maybe this thing is working in the background, despite my lack of awareness. It’s all good.

Outrageous Mastery Review

admin — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:50:16 +0000

In the last few days, I suddenly seem to be receiving multiple opportunities to review personal development material, which is great because that is what I love. Since the objective of this site is to inform you about these things, here goes.

I have just read one book called Outrageous Mastery. I had not heard of it before although it has been around since 2006 and is apparently very successful. It has been read in over 90 countries and gets some rave reviews.

This is not really going to be one of them. It does have something going for it but I also have issues with it. It tells the personal story of a woman who is now known as Sasha Xarrian. (That is explained in the book).

It is both the story of her own personal triumph over many adversities and a sort of fantasy tale, designed to put across her message that we all have access to powers that are beyond our own human limitations.

The these two elements are intertwined through the 140 pages of the book. Her goal is to teach us all to use these powers in the way that she has learned to, in order to create the lives that we desire.

Her own story concerns being a member of the Mormon church and being brought up in absolute certainty of the rightness of her beliefs. Her whole life revolved around the church, her extended family and the community.

Circumstances led to her having to leave the church her husband and her support group and bring up 6 children alone. Having been secure in her position as wife and mother, she suddenly found herself needing to find a new home for her family and a way to feed them, having never had a job before.

The many challenges she faced over a period of years would have stopped most of us in our tracks. But she came through it all to create an enviable lifestyle. The other thread of the book is how she believes it was possible.

She has her own theory, which you are not really required to believe, about a sort of pre-life in preparation for this life. When we are born into this life, we loose access to great powers that we were aware of in this pre-life.

She becomes the subject of an experiment by a group of people in this other existence in which they try to communicate with her on earth and help her to learn about the powers that we can all access.

As I say, it is not necessary to believe this, only to admit the possibility that we can tap into sources of power that can help us to achieve whatever goals we set ourselves. This has nothing to do with any religious beliefs.

Sasha herself questioned whether the ‘miracles’ she experience whilst in the Mormon church were due to that. What if it were true that the Mormons were the chosen people and she had cut herself off from this power?

Through her own experimentation, she came to the conclusion that this was not the case. She went on to write a trilogy of books to help others to use her methods to create the life of their dreams.

She has developed a technique that she calls her ‘Moment of Outrageous Mastery’. This is a short ritual, which you can learn to use yourself, to prepare to face any challenge and overcome it.

This is where I have a problem with the book. I would love to able able to tell you something about this, but I can’t. The book is an interesting read and an inspiring story, but it is just preparing the ground.

If you want to learn the practical techniques of Outrageous Mastery, you have to buy the next two books. If there had been any clue as to what is involved, I might have been tempted. But personally, this book didn’t give me enough information to know if the purchase would be worthwhile.

As usual, her website has dozens of glowing testimonials for this process from people who have apparently found it useful. I would have preferred to have more in the first book to base my own judgment on.

Having said that, she is a good writer and has provided a useful free resource for helping to boost self confidence. You don’t just read it. It is workbook with practical exercises to carry out. I recommend doing them.

It is available as a straight download with no opt in or anything and it might be worth a few minutes of your time. It ends with an exercise that few of us do but we could all benefit from.
