James Ray from Larry King Live

2006-11-17T09:19:00.000-08:00

I hope you were able to watch the Larry King Live segment last night. If not, you can get the transcript here:

Larry King Transcript

One of the panelists was James Ray, a rather famous self-help guru in his own right. He has a Science of Success program based upon the theories of quantum physics. If you're not sure what quantum physics is, here's my brief synopsis:

Quantum Physics Explanation

What's great about the Science of Success is it includes two audio conference calls, his book, 6 CD's plus several other special bonuses you should check out.

And here's the kicker - he has a 30 day trial. Big deal, right? Yes, but he actually only charges you for the shipping for the first 30 days. So if you don't like it, just send it back. I doubt you will - he does some great stuff.

So check out Science of Success

Also, here's a pretty cool Wisdom Flash video from ConsciousOne:

Secret Of Success

2006-11-06T16:44:00.000-08:00

I read an article recently where researchers have shown that you don't need to have an innate talent in order to be successful. Okay, something probably most of us have heard before. But there's more to it than that. In fact, it turns out most of the great successes in the world did NOT have any innate talent. They became successful at their chosen profession by hard work, practice and long hours. It's not a matter of just "putting in the time". They did it by focusing their hours of work on what is called "deliberate practice". It means an activity that's explicitly intended to improve performance, that reaches for objectives just beyond one's level of competence, provides feedback on results and involves high levels of repetition.

Wow - that's a mouthful! It's what separates the "greats" from the "not-so-greats". Actually, it usually takes around ten years of this "deliberate practice" before "greatness" or "success" is accomplished. Even though we now know that we don't necessarily have to have an innate talent to succeed, how can we develop the persistence and focus it requires to go through years of "deliberate practice"?

That's where purpose and passion come in. Every life of power must have a great master purpose which takes precedence over all other motives. The person with a vigorous purpose is a positive, constructive, creative force. No one can be resourceful, inventive, original or creative without powerful concentration; and the undivided focusing of the mind is only possible along the line of the ambition, the life purpose. We cannot focus the mind upon a thing we are not interested in and enthusiastic about.

There is an infinite distance between the wishers and the doers. Most of us go to work every day and we may like our jobs well enough but we know in our hearts it is not our life's calling or passion. We are only loosely connected to our work and usually can't wait to go home. That's hardly a passion, is it? Imagine having a strong, persistent purpose - the kind that burns all the bridges behind it and works through all the obstacles no matter how long it takes.

There is great power in a resolution that has no reservation in it a strong, persistent, tenacious purpose which burns all bridges behind it, clears all obstacles from its path, and arrives at its goal, no matter how long it may take, no matter what the sacrifice or the cost.

The inspiration of a great, positive purpose transforms the life. When the awakening power of a new purpose is born in a man, he is a new creature. He sees everything in a new light. The doubts, the fears, the apathy, the vicious temptations which dogged his steps only yesterday, the stagnation which had blighted his past life, all vanish as if by magic. They are dispelled by the breath of a new purpose.

Do you remember the high of first being in love? Just last week, the world was a lousy place to live, yet today it all seems so beautiful. Grab on to that feeling. That is what you need to feel to have your life's passion. Many times, an inspiration will come to us, but because it is not a convenient time, we do nothing about it. The idea or thought remains for a while, but gradually fades away as we do nothing about it. The postponing habit will kill the strongest initiative. Too much caution and lack of confidence are fatal enemies of initiative. It is much easier to actually do something about the inspiration or thought while the passion for it is strong. Next time you have a "divine" inspiration (and you will), do something about it! Drop everything and at least write it down.

Remember at the beginning of this article, I pointed out that most of the successful people in the world got there from 'deliberate" practice over years of time? Here's some examples:

Tiger Woods - many say his "natural talent" for golf makes it look effortless. But he started playing at 18 months and had 15 years of practice before he won his first major tournament.

Michael Jordan - if his "talent" for basketball was so innate, why did he get cut from his high school basketball team?

Jerry Rice - one of the all-time great football receivers, was passed up by 15 teams because he was considered too slow.

Okay, now you KNOW you can accomplish anything. You don't need talent. You know the secret of success is deliberate practice. What's the next step? How do you form a plan?
There are many tools and resources to help you with making a plan. Keep reading and learning! One amazing tool I have found that helps you create, focus and attain your goals doesn't cost a dime! It's called Simpleology. Read about it here:

Share The Secret!

2006-03-27T08:55:00.000-08:00

The secret is finally out. If you've been getting all the emails announcing a "Secret" movie, it's finally here.

I must admit - I was a bit skeptical of all the hype. I'm not much of a "hype" fan, although I do succumb to it occasionally.

This is a full length movie about the "secret" of all the successful, happy, people throughout the ages. Do you know the secret? Chances are, you've heard of it before, if you've done ANY self-help research in the last 5-10 years. I wouldn't call it something new.

What makes this movie different is the scope and depth that the "secret" is covered. I've never seen it presented in such a practical and helpful manner before. Almost every modern-day self-help guru (and I hate that term) is shown in this film, giving some advice, telling a story or explaining a point.

It's only $4.95 to watch it on your computer -- well worth the money. I'm going to order the DVD because I think this will be as big as "What the Bleep" and one of those movies you can show to your friends and family.

Go check it out for yourself. Let me know if you agree.

What Is The Secret?

Enjoy!

If You Like or Need to Search the Net...

2005-10-26T11:33:00.000-07:00

I have found a really cool program. Okay, this has nothing to do with self help products, but this is so great, I just had to tell you about it.

It's called Search Automator and it will literally save you hours of searching for something online. From this one program, you can search for anything in any format in almost any search engine. I could go on and on about how it works, but the sales page is much better than I am. There's a video explaining how the program works. It's not hard, but you do have to play around with it a little to see all the features it offers.

Derek also has a free email course about searching in general. I recommend signing up for that even if you don't get Search Automator because it has some great tips for searching in general.

The reason I'm telling you about this now is because he's coming out with an upgrade called Search Automator Pro and it's going to be a lot more money. If you buy the first version BEFORE the Pro version comes out, you'll get the upgrade for free!

The price is dirt cheap considering how powerful this program is and how much time it will save you. I waited to buy it, thinking "I'll get it later", but as soon as he mentioned the upgrade, I hurried to buy the first version. Boy, am I glad I did! I've already used it several times in my business searchings.

Hop on over to the sales page and read and watch about all it can do. This isn't hyped-up sales talk -- I've bought it and I've used it. It's great! Plus, he doesn't follow up with a bunch of emails trying to sell you more stuff. (Or, at least he hasn't so far!)

Maybe you can't use it, but I'll bet you know someone who can! College students I think would LOVE this program!

Okay, I'm done gushing. Go check it out: Search Automator

Okay, so there's only 3 Simple Steps to getting anything you want and part of that process is to focus on 1 goal at a time.

Seems simple enough. So why am I so NOT focused?

I have started doing one thing I think will help, and that's to break down my larger tasks into little tiny pieces. That way it's easier to fit those little tiny pieces into my day and get something accomplished rather than wait until I have a big block of time to devote to that task.

Simpleology 101 Updates

2005-10-03T16:29:00.000-07:00

Well, I guess I'm like everyone else. I start something that looks great, but then I don't follow through. I did complete the first Simpleology course, but not really completely. I didn't do ALL the exercises - I was in a hurry to get to the "meat" of the course.

And now that I've had a chance to do the Daily Praxis, I realize that I should do exactly what they recommend: turn around and follow the course all over again from the beginning.

So that's what I'm doing -- only THIS time I've made a pledge to post my results AT LEAST every other day on this blog.

So follow along with me. You won't understand some of the posts to come if you don't have your own copy of Simpleology 101, so sign up now. It's free!

Holosync Meditation - Does It Really Work?

2005-08-09T19:38:00.000-07:00

Chances are, if you are on a quest for self-improvement, you've already heard of the Holosync Meditation CD's.

What It Is:

Developed by Bill Harris in the late 1980s, the Holosync Solution is an audio program designed to bring your brain waves to the alpha (and lower)levels automatically just by listening to the cds. According to Bill: "Holosync is a way to create deep meditation easily, precisely and consistently."

Beyond The Hype:

I thought it was about time someone talked about what it's REALLY like to use the Holosync cds. I've been using the program for 2 years fairly consistently. That means sitting down almost every day, putting on my headphones and doing nothing else for an hour. It's a huge time commitment and there were times I wondered if it was worth it.

In The Beginning:

Unlike the other testimonials you may have read, I did not experience profound changes after listening to the first cd. In fact, for the most part, I fell asleep! But that's okay, because the more I listened, the less sleeping I did. Truth be told, I still doze off when I'm starting a new level. Each new level takes you into deeper meditative states and requires an adjustment.

As Time Goes By:

Here I am, two years later, still making the time and financial commitment to stick with it. Why? Because I'm amazed at the person I've become. Over the course of the two years:

I'm calmer
I rarely get angry.
I have a more positive attitude.
I've become more spiritual.
I'm happier - negative thoughts creep in, but they don't stay.

Would I have experienced this growth without Holosync? Maybe, but I believe it would have taken much longer.

Have I reached the "nirvana" state while meditating? A couple of times I have experienced that deep all-encompassing sense of peace, but for the most part, my thoughts tend to drift. I try to start each session with an affirmation or goal statement, but often I'll end up working out a problem or thinking about other things. It seems to work anyway and I always feel refreshed and calm at the end of a session.

What About Using Other Programs?

Absolutely! I've used and still incorporate other programs into my Holosync meditation. I mentioned affirmations, but other types of releasing programs work well, even different meditation techniques can work with Holosync.

Self improvement should be a never-ending quest. You can usually gain some new insights by listening to a different point of view.

Meditation - Easy Tools For Success

2005-07-23T10:24:00.000-07:00

Do you want to learn how to meditate?
Have you tried to meditate but you keep falling asleep?
Or you're not sure you are doing it right?
Do you keep thinking about other things while you are trying to "clear your mind"?

First you need to decide what type of meditation you want to do. There are basically two types of meditation - active and passive. Passive meditation is clearing the mind of all thoughts. You can then allow your "inner voice" or "minds eye" to speak to you. Passive meditation is good for reducing stress, increasing creativity, or just getting in some quiet time.

Active meditation is when you keep your mind active by working on a particular problem in your life or focusing on accomplishing certain goals you have set. Using affirmations while meditating are particularly helpful in this area.

There are many simple techniques to help you meditate. You may have read about them already. They include breathing techniques, repeating mantras, sitting up so you don't fall asleep and visualizing certain objects. These are all good techniques and will help you accomplish reaching that alpha brain wave level necessary for meditation.

However, for a beginner, it can be frustrating, especially if you are not sure that you are reaching the alpha level. There are tools available that can help you. The easiest way to get started is with guided meditation cds. These recordings may have background music or binaural beats designed to help your brain get to the alpha level. Most of them will have a relaxation exercise. These are useful for passive meditation.

More advanced techniques for active meditation will have subliminal messages and/or auditory affirmations depending upon what goals you would like to accomplish. Some are called self-hypnosis cds but they really are the same as guided meditations. These are helpful in keeping you on track during your meditation. It is very easy to lose your focus when you meditate and have your thoughts drift off to other areas. Concentrating on listening to the cds will help you maintain your focus.

Where can you get these cds and how much do they cost? Believe it or not, some of them are free! More advanced cds with subliminal or auditory affirmations are usually less than $25. There are even guided meditations you can download from music sites. Some of the cds require a good set of headphones.

Remember, meditation is all about relaxing and de-stressing. If you find yourself getting stressed out about relaxing, it may be helpful to use one of these meditation aids to get started.

Here's a new program that I haven't put "officially" on the website yet. I'm doing some advertising to see how it works before I add it in. It's a little off the beaten path for what I normally review.

The program is called ASIT and it used to help create a simple way to solve a problem. It can work for any problem, but would probably best be used for work-related problems, whether it's marketing a new product, figuring out why something doesn't work, inventive solutions, etc.

Creating Our Days

Some call it "visualizing your day", but the theory is the same. Can we consciously create how we want our day to go? I've certainly read enough about this, but like all humans, for me reading and DOING are two different things.

At any rate, the other morning I decided to try it. Before I got up, I laid in bed for just an extra minute or two and concentrated on "Today is the day I will make some real progress on my website". Perhaps that was too vague a statement but I wanted to be open for whatever might happen.

Well, lo and behold! When I checked my email, I had two requests from people that wanted me to review their books! And an increase in my traffic stats. Had I done the prep work to receive this? YES. Would it have happened had I not "manifested" my day? Maybe...maybe not.

You only need a few of those "coincidences" to make you a believer.

Now, the bigger question: Why am I not doing it everyday?

Fun with the Handwriting Analysis

2005-04-26T17:13:00.000-07:00

I must admit, I'm having some great fun with this handwriting analysis stuff.

The other day, I went to lunch with some girlfriends and amused them when I analyzed their sex drive based upon how they wrote the tails of their y's and g's.

Today I got a packet in the mail selling some new self help program. In the mail? You got to hand it to Bill Harris at Centerpointe, he sure knows how to market a product. When he recommends something, I usually look at it. Back to my point; this packet included a handwritten note from one of their "testimonial" customers. I immediately looked at the loops in his o's to see if he was honest. According to the little bit of knowledge I acquired (obviously dangerous knowledge), he appeared to be honest. However, upon noticing his y's and g's...uh, oh, he may have a problem there.

Like I said, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, so I think I WILL order the beginner's package. At least I'll have a little MORE knowledge to be dangerous with. Besides, they have this great half-price promotion, making it fit in my budget.

If you didn't already try the free handwriting analysis, go get it here:
Handwriting Sherlock.

And while you're there, check around the site a bit. They have lots of free articles and fun things to explore.

Till next time,
GiGi

P.S. I'll probably end up ordering that new info that came in the mail. Just need to figure out the financing. Look for my review.

Coming Soon!

2005-04-22T11:50:00.000-07:00

There are a couple of things I'm working on that will be added to the website soon.

One is a new movie I ordered called, "Indigo". The story is fiction but covers the subject of Indigo children which are children with special gifts. The movie should be mailed out around the end of April.

I just got my new monthly CD from Spiritual Cinema Circle. I'll be adding a new update on my Movie page soon.

I also just found this fun website about handwriting analysis. I was surprised at how accurate they were! You can get your free handwriting analysis here:

Handwriting Sherlock

I'm also working on a Speed Reading CD that seems like a lot of fun (so far). I'll let you know how that goes.

Look for the the Speed Reading and Handwriting Analysis to be in a new section I'm adding called "Fun Stuff". (Unless I think of a better name).

Journey to Wild Divine

2005-04-12T20:48:00.000-07:00

Okay, I won't be reviewing this anytime soon on my website, but this game is definitely going on my birthday/Christmas wish list.

I first heard about it from Bill Harris over at Centerpointe. Here is how they describe the game (better than I could, since I haven't even tried it yet):

"The Journey to Wild Divine is the first "inner-active" computer adventure that combines ancient breathing and meditation with modern biofeedback technology for total mind-body wellness.Progress through the realm using the power of your thoughts, feelings, breath and awareness. Not just a game, it's a tool to reduce stress and improve physical and mental health."

Sounds pretty cool, eh? It comes with a three biofeedback sensors you put on your fingers. You don't get to advance to the next level in the game until you successfully master whatever "state of mind" they ask you to create. There's a demo on the website. Check it out at: Wild Divine.

And hey, if anyone reading this is looking for that perfect gift for you-know-who, feel free! Speaking of free, for those of us always looking for something for nothing:

I've added some more freebies on my website - well worth checking out!

Silva UltraMind Seminar

2005-04-11T09:53:00.000-07:00

How cool is this?
I finally get to attend a Silva Ultramind Seminar in May. The last one I signed up for was cancelled.

Many of the now-famous self help "gurus" have taken the Silva course sometime in their past.

I'm really looking forward to this -- I'll let you know how it goes.

And, of course, it will then be added to the website review:

Can Science Predict The Future?

2005-04-07T09:13:00.000-07:00

Here's a fascinating article about an experiment with a mysterious "black box" :

Red Nova Article

I'd be curious to know how the box reacted to the death of the pope recently.

This experiment is also briefly covered in the Study Guide from the movie "What The Bleep Do We Know?" You can get the free Study Guide here
