Ho'oponopono - I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you

Ho'oponopono is really very simple. For the ancient Hawaiians, all problems begin as thought. But having a thought is not the problem. So what's the problem? The problem is that all our thoughts are imbued with painful memories, memories of persons, places, or things.

The intellect working alone can't solve these problems, because the intellect only manages. Managing things is no way to solve problems. You want to let them go! When you do Ho'oponopono, what happens is that the Divinity takes the painful thought and neutralizes or purifies it. You don't purify the person, place, or thing. You neutralize the energy you associate with that person, place or thing. So the first stage of Ho'oponopono is the purification of that energy.

Now something wonderful happens. Not only does that energy get neutralized; it also gets released, so there's a brand new slate. Buddhists call it the Void. The final step is that you allow the Divinity to come in and fill the void with light - inspiration.

To do Ho'oponopono, you don't have to know what the problem or error is. All you have to do is notice any problem you are experiencing physically, mentally, emotionally, whatever. Once you notice, your responsibility is to immediately begin to clean, to say, "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you."

What Is Your Deepest Fear?


'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure,

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us,

We ask ourselves: who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of the universe.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking,

so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are born to make manifest the glory of the universe that is within us.

It's not in some of us: it is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,

we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

And as we are liberated from our own fear,

our presence automatically liberates others.'

The Power of Weight Loss Affirmations

Weight loss affirmations are absolutely essential to the accomplishment of fast weight loss and to achieving results which last you a lifetime. This is the reason why people who used solutions like self hypnosis or NLP along with their exercise and nutrition programs have a significantly higher success rate when it comes to healthy and permanent weight loss. Of course, it’s also important that you understand how and why affirmations work so that you can make the most of them and get results that stick.
 
So if you’re ready to achieve your ideal weight and to enjoy greater energy and self-esteem, this simple, straightforward and effective formula for creating weight loss affirmations is just what you’re looking for. 

Step One: Set Your Target Weight 

The very first step to developing effective weight loss affirmations is setting a specific target weight which you would feel great about achieving. Most people who want to lose weight make the mistake of telling themselves that they want to do just that… lose weight. The problem with this is that you've been conditioned to think of losing something as being bad, so when your subconscious mind hears anything about losing, it automatically associate that with a negative emotion.

Besides, no one really wants to lose weight…. what they really want is to be at their ideal weight, which is a simple distinction but a critical one when it comes to fast weight loss.
TIP: In order to determine your ideal weight, it's a good idea to either use a reliable target weight calculator or to consult a physician. Never set your target weight by guesswork or because you feel like that’s the only weight you can be happy at.

Step Two: Decide What You’re Going to Change

If you want to accomplish fast weight loss, you're going to need more than just positive weight loss affirmations or diet pills. You’re going to have to make changes in your diet and in your activity level. Any attempt to find a way around this and to achieve fast weight loss is going to take a toll on your body which simply isn't worth the sacrifice. So in addition to determining your target weight, determine exactly what changes you're going to make in order to accomplish it. This will give your subconscious mind a specific set of actions to motivate your body to take.

Step Three: Build Your Affirmations

Once you’ve determined your target weight and what you're willing to change in order to accomplish it, it's time to start building your weight loss affirmations. To do this, you'll need to follow for basic principles:

1) Make them in the present tense
2) Make them in the first person
3) Make them affirmative (avoid using words like: stop, won’t, quit, lose, not, no etc.)
4) Make them action oriented

Action oriented means that your affirmations address one of your specific actions that are determined in step two. In other words:
“I’m eating more natural foods and therefore achieving my ideal weight through reconditioning my metabolism.”
“I’m achieving my ideal weight through commitment to resistance training and cardiovascular training.”
“I’m enjoying increased energy and self-confidence because of my commitment to proper nutrition and an active lifestyle.”

Notice how all of these weight loss affirmations were written in the present tense, that they all use the word “I’m”, and that all of them are affirmative and action oriented. This is how you write them. Then you put them to work…

Step Four: Daily Rehearsal

Reconditioning your subconscious mind using weight loss affirmations follows the same set of principles as reconditioning your body. As you know, you can't go to the gym a few times and achieve permanent results. You must commit yourself to consistent activity and make it a part of your lifestyle…and most important, enjoy it. So once you have your daily weight loss affirmations written, speak them allowed once in the morning and once in the evening. 

This is the secret to conditioning your subconscious mind for fast weight loss through positive weight loss affirmations.

How to Meditate Like a Master Within One Month

Knowing how to meditate is one of the most important skills you learn for managing stress, building willpower and confidence, and for keeping your body in good physical and emotional health. But if you are interested in learning this skill, you probably want to start getting results as soon as possible…how about within 30 days? Believe it or not, this is a sufficient amount of time to become the master provided that you know exactly what steps to follow. This article will provide you with a rock solid plan for learning within just a month how to meditate…

Days 1-5
 
The first five days of the process are going to be spent becoming conscious of the things that you're thinking about. There is really no objective in this stage but to simply to sit on the ground with your legs crossed and pay attention to whatever thoughts randomly spring into your mind. Do not attempt to concentrate on any one of these thoughts or focus your attention on any one thing. Simply observe and become aware of the random thoughts which are coming into your mind. Don’t analyze them or try to repress them, this is the first stage of developing the skill of meditation.

Days 6-10

During the second five days you’re going to be training your mind and body to get into what’s known as the hypnogic state, which is just between sleeping and dreaming. This is a state which is similar to that used during self hypnosis. To accomplish this, lay down on your back and hold one of your arms at a 90° angle with the rest of your body. This way, just before you start dozing to sleep your arm will fall and awaken you. You’ll also continue to observe your thoughts as they come into your mind just as you did during days 1 to 5. During these five days, or shortly after, you might start experiencing something known as “sleep paralysis” when you wake up from sleeping at night.

Although sleep paralysis can be terrifying, it’s important to remember that this is simply your physical body being still asleep while you are conscious and awake. It will usually pass as you progress through the next stages of meditation…


Days 11-20

During days 11-20 of learning how to meditate, you’re going to work on weeding the random thoughts out of your head. To do this, you simply acknowledge a thought out loud that pops into your head like so:

“I’m thinking about checking my email”
“I’m thinking about watering my lawn”
“I’m thinking about what I’m going to say to my boss at the meeting”

As you do this, you’ll find that the thoughts quickly vanish from your consciousness as soon as you acknowledge them. During this stage, you’ll also be lying on your bed with your arm up to keep you from dozing off to sleep. By the end of these 10 days, you’ll be ready for the final stage of meditation…

Days 21-30

During the final ten days of learning how to meditate, you’ll be refining the skill of remaining in the hypnogic state and clearing your mind of any thoughts which might come into it. The only objective during these 10 days is to be in a state of complete calm in mind, body and spirit. If you find any thoughts coming into your mind, simply follow the process of acknowledging them just as you did during days 11 to 20. By the end of this 10 day period, you’ll have mastered the skill of meditation and you’ll have already begun to see the benefits of more sound sleep, lower stress levels, better concentration and more focused willpower.

So start practicing these steps today, and just 30 days from now you’ll have taught yourself the valuable skill of learning how to meditate.

The Sure-Fire Way To Attract A Man

Knowing how to attract a man starting from the approach and leading right down to the commitment is a skill which few women possess. However, contrary to the common belief it is possible to learn the skill of attracting a man, and better yet, being able to make him commit to you and fall in love with you…even if he is a man who has fear of commitment. 

In case you think that this is impossible, just think about all the women out there who have been able to attract the man of their dreams and have him proposing to them within just a few months. If you’re interested in knowing their secret to how to attract a man, this is one of the most important messages you'll ever read.

First, Start Talking to Everyone

Talk to everyone you possibly can whenever you go somewhere: men you’re interested in, men you're not interested in, women, old people, kids…everyone. This might not sound like direct advice on how to attract a man, but what it will do is demonstrate that you are confident and socially assertive. This is a really big deal, because men are attracted to confidence just as you are. So if you get into the habit of talking to people, even if it's just to say hello, you can bet that you’re going to attract a lot more attention from people…and that includes men. 

See, believe it or not, men are actually pretty afraid of approaching women…they are afraid of rejection, just as you are. But they desperately want to approach women, and if you demonstrate that you are socially assertive and friendly, it will make men automatically more willing to approach you. Then it's just a matter of filtering through them and finding the man you really want to be with. 

Playing hard to get works 

Have you ever wondered why men hate it so much when women play hard to get? It’s because it works - men know it works and they’re mad at themselves because it lures them in and makes them fall crazy in love with a woman. Of course, this isn't popular advice because most people think that you shouldn't “play games” to make him commit. Listen, everyone plays games in life to get what they want. In fact, life is nothing more than a long string of negotiations and persuasions. 

We land jobs and careers by means of persuasion, we negotiate with friends, with our parents, with our children…so it’s okay to play a little cat and mouse with your man and persuade him to get a hold of you before he loses his shot. The best way to play hard to get it is to find something that you are passionate about and to commit yourself to it. Make your man compete for his place in your life, and since men love a challenge, he’ll do exactly that.

Of course, as you’re doing this, it's important that you understand the key principle behind how to attract a man…

Slow is Fast With Men

Most women don't understand how to attract a man and make him commit because they’re in a great hurry to do so. But the bigger the hurry you are in to make a man commit, the greater his fear of commitment is going to become. This is because men get the idea that they are not in control, and this will cause them to resist control….even to their own detriment. Yes, it’s silly, but we women have our own little quirks so there’s no point in judging men for being this way. 

Instead, when you find a man you're really crazy about, refrain from directly pressuring him about any kinds of commitments. Instead, make him compete for his place in your life and keep a few close male friends around you. This will arouse his sense of urgency and he’ll see you as a prize to be won. He’ll be in a hurry to get a hold of you before someone else does or before he loses his shot. 

As simple as these sound, once you start putting each of them into practice you’ll soon see that knowing how to attract a man is easy once you have the right approach.

Now, go get him!

Attracting Your Soul Mate With Love Affirmations

Love affirmations are a perfect way to “tune yourself in” to the goal of attracting romance and love into your life. This is because affirmations have the power to change your habitual inner dialogue and to set up brain wave patterns which will give you that “good vibe” that you feel when you’re around certain people. Have you ever had that feeling and just wanted to be around someone? If so, you'll be relieved to know that using positive affirmations can actually help you to develop that vibe…they may even hold the key to attracting your soul mate.


If you get excited just imagining this idea, then you’ll want to develop your own simple and effective love affirmations. 

First, Get Specific

Before you begin writing your love affirmations for attracting your soul mate, you have to get specific about two things:
1) The kind of person you want to attract
2) The kind of person you must become to attract them

Too often, people create positive affirmations about something that they want, but never bother making the changes in themselves that are required in order to get and keep what they want. This is especially important when it comes to your close relationships. The first thing you need to do is make a list of specific characteristics that you're looking for in a person, and then ask yourself this question:

Who would I have to become in order to attract this type of person and build a meaningful relationship with them? The answer to this question is the foundation upon which you're going to build your love affirmations…

Second, Build Your Affirmations

Your positive affirmations for attracting your soul mate need to have four things in common: they need to be in the first person; in present tense; focused on the characteristics you're looking for; and most importantly, focused on the characteristics you're going to build in order to attract the love of your life.
For example, if you’re looking for someone who is confident and ambitious, your love affirmations might look like this:
”As a confident and ambitious man, I naturally attract confident and ambitious women into my life.”
“My confidence and assertiveness attracts confident and assertive women.”
“I attract ambitious women because I’m an ambitious man.”

Now, notice that each one of these love affirmations has four things in common:
1) They’re all in the present tense
2) They’re all in the first person
3) They all involve the characteristics you're looking for a date
4) They all involve the characteristics you need to attract them 

Now, in case you're thinking that you are lying to yourself in stating such things, here’s something important to note about how affirmations work: love affirmations, like any other affirmations, work to condition your subconscious mind to believe the things that you are consistently telling it. 

Once these beliefs become crystallized, they’ll begin to influence your actions and beliefs will become a reality. This is because of a psychological principle known as cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort which a person feels when their beliefs and their actions are not aligned. This discomfort causes a person to change their actions in order to make them consistent with their beliefs.

And that’s accomplished through the final step…

Third, Rehearse Your Positive Affirmations

Once you have your positive love affirmations written, verbally rehearse them in front of the mirror in the morning and in the evening. This is where the magic really starts happening…and it will take about 21 days for things to really pick up momentum. What you'll start to notice is that your creative imagination, your subconscious mind and your beliefs will begin lining up the pieces of your life which are necessary for you to start attracting your soul mate. 

Good luck!

The Sure-Fire Way To Attract A Woman

Knowing how to attract women is certainly a rare skill which many men envy, but few men ever master. Just think about all the men you know who are struggling in their dating life, while for others, approaching women and attracting women seems to come as naturally as water flows downhill. Well, if you are sick of seeing other men scoop up all the desirable women, leaving you to scramble after the crumbs which fall from the masters table, this is one of the most important messages you'll ever read. What you're about to learn is a simple strategy which will teach you how to attract women right from the first approach down to the final seduction.
 
First, Become a Social Butterfly

If you pay attention to the small percentage of men that actually know how to attract women, you’ll find that all of them are social butterflies. Okay, so butterfly isn't too manly of a word. But I'm guessing that if you develop the skill of approaching women and attracting women by becoming a social butterfly, that you’d be okay with that wouldn’t you? So how do you do this? Easy, you start getting into the habit of saying hello to everyone that you see. Everyone. Once you get comfortable with this, you follow up that hello with “How are you doing?” And when I say everyone, I mean that you start approaching women you’re interested in, women you're not interested in, old women, fat women, men, old men, young men fat men…just start saying hello to everyone.

This will sharpen your social skills and make it easier for you to speak to your “dream girl” when you actually see her. But if you simply stalk in the shadows without speaking to anyone, you’ll be a social train wreck by the time you try to approach “dream girl.” When it comes to developing the social skills for approaching women, the time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining…if you know what I mean.

Second, Date Anyone Once

You’re never going to learn how to attract women if you are always looking for a specific type and you refuse to date anyone else. Sure, you might not be interested in her, but go on a date anyway and just start getting out there and explore your options. I mean think about it, a date doesn't mean you're having to commit to marrying her…and even if there's no chemistry, she might make a good friend and help you build your social circle. As you can imagine, the stronger your social circle is, the more opportunities you get to meet new people. Not only that, when other women see that you’re attracting women and that you’re dating, they’ll get that jealous competitive thing that women get and you'll become a prize to be won.

Would that work for you?

Third, Build Attraction

Getting a woman to go out on a date with you is one thing, but building attraction is another and it’s something which most men are completely clueless about. This is because they think that women are attracted to looks as we are...they’re not. Women are attracted to behaviors, and the most important behavior is confidence. If a woman sees you as a confident man, she’ll become seduced by just being around you and she’ll probably even be the first one to make a sexual move. But don't get too excited about this yet, women are masters of smoking out fake confidence - and they do it by testing you.

They test to see whether or not you're going to give in and let them control you, and if you fail the test you'll end up in the friend’s zone. So the next time you're with an attractive woman and she throws a test at you, just know that she's trying to see if you're confident enough to be a man and stand your ground. If you pass, she’ll develop an attraction for you which is almost uncontrollable.

So that’s the simple process of approaching women and attracting them. If you think that this sounds too easy, just try it. Try it and see for yourself, then you’ll have all your guys asking you about the secret of how to attract women.
