Like Dr. Anthony, who was asked to be in “The Secret” movie that hit the airwaves in 2006, I love unraveling the science of the mind. Dr. Anthony is a psychotherapist and hypnotherapist and was one of last year’s guest speakers. So I took my trusty laptop and placed it on the bookcase headboard of the guest bed (so I wouldn’t disturb my husband), plugged in my earphones and logged on. I enjoyed the lecture, but as often happens with programs like this, I fell asleep. But I woke up immediately after the program ended. So I listened to it again, got through to the part where Dr. Anthony said falling asleep was ok, because the subconscious mind doesn’t sleep and can still hear, even when the conscious mind sleeps.

What he talked about was how we are all in a “hypnotic trance” as we go about our day. The “Critical Factor” between the conscious and subconscious mind he called the gatekeeper. What was interesting is that he said that no matter how many positive affirmations you say, if your gatekeeper doesn’t let the affirmation into your subconscious mind, nothing’s going to change.

I’ve written about this topic quite a bit over at Ezine Articles, but one thing I noticed is that he said that from the time we are born, up until the time we turn about six, we’re downloading and storing information into our subconscious. This is when the “gatekeeper” develops the ideas of what gets into the subconscious and what doesn’t. He said that the subconscious always takes the path of least resistance, the path of habit or repeated pattern and this is why it is hard to change things in our lives at times. He said willpower just won’t cut it, as the gatekeeper in our “minds” determines what gets in or out.

Of course, all of this is fascinating, but what really amazed me is that early this morning I awoke from a vivid dream. When I was a child I grew up experiencing quite a bit of childhood trauma. Suffice to say I’m not going into all that here, but I’ve always thought that I have a block or two that I just can’t dislodge in the area of “money,” which interestingly enough stems from parental issues. I’ve been working on this for some time now, but what amazed me was my dream.  As you may or may not know, the subconscious delivers messages to us through our dreams. I’ve been studying and writing down my dreams since I was in my early twenties (LOL, for close to 40 years now!) and this one goes down as an interesting one.

In my dream I met the GateKeeper of my subconscious — and I know it stems from what I listened to last night as I fell asleep. I was in a house in my dream (which means your consciousness, by the way, though dreams are really only personally interpretive — there are some general meanings behind some things, but each person’s images and meanings are their own) and there were other people there with me (thoughts, ideas, emotions, etc.). I opened the door (the GATE to the subconscious) so that we could go outside (into the subconscious). As I opened the door, this small lizard thing was outside the door. It grew into a  Tyrannosaurus Rex with its feeble little hands dangling from its small front arms and this HUGE MOUTH roaring at me. When I shut the door it stopped. When I opened the door again, it was there full on.

This was a breakthrough for me! Yes, my “Critical Factor,” my “GateKeeper” between my conscious mind and subconscious mind was a frigging DINOSAUR, or reptile. The reptile part of the brain is referred to as the R-complex and sits below the “septum, amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampal complex and cingulate cortex,” says Wikipedia.

This part of the brain is all about the FIGHT or FLIGHT syndrome — which for me is perfect that it is represented by a dinosaur by my subconscious. I grew up under a lot of stress to the point that the fight or flight syndrome happened on a regular basis for me (moving past that now, thank you very much). This may seem like nothing to you, but it was a HUGE shift for me. Finally, something concrete!  I’m excited to see what develops and I can’t wait to get back to the other four speakers that I can listen to now from Awaken to Abundance and continue to experience SHIFTS!

If you’re interested in finally Awakening to Abundance in your life, don’t hesitate to sign up — it’s free! You will have the opportunity to purchase the program if you can’t log on every day to listen to the speakers. The way it works is that you can listen live to the speaker (for free) or listen to that specific speaker up to 48 hours from the time of the live session. After that, there will be no replay. Some people prefer to purchase the entire MP3 package so they are not stuck to a schedule. I believe they also offer the MP3 and entire program on CD as another option. Each session lasts an hour, so there will be a total of 37 hours of Awakening to Abundance.

In any case, the lineup is FANTASTIC –  some of my favorite speakers will be on the program: Bob Doyle, Dr. Sue Morter, Harrison Klein, Dr. Bradley Nelson (“Emotion Code,” “Body Code”), Rikka Zimmerman, Dr. Dain Heer, Morgana Rae, Larry Crane, Susan Shumsky, Ann Taylor, Sonia Ricotti, Dr. Joe Rubino, John Harricharan, Mahendra Trivedi, Brad Yates, Jennifer Hough (Don’t Miss Her!), John Assaraf and so many more (I just listed the people I know and have heard before — some of my favorites!). This promises to be a full lineup and one not to be missed.

So don’t delay — go out and sign up today at Awaken to Abundance — the first program starts Wednesday, April 25th.

Each day during the Tapping World Summit provides those who have signed up with a new guest speaker that will share with you this technique and how to apply it to different parts of your life. Other experts are to be included in the program — but you will only have 24 hours to listen to the audios for free. After that, new speakers will be shared beginning May 7 and lasting through May 16th.

If you’re like me you’ve probably looked high and low for ways to be able improve yourself and make your life better.

You know what I mean. . . reading up on what to eat if you’re looking to get fit or delving into “Law of Attraction” work to create the right mindset for success.  But what if you’ve been looking in the wrong places to improve your results? What if the truth is actually much deeper but when you find it it’s easy to solve. . .

There’s a revealing new video that I think you should see on how the brain works, what’s actually keeping you stuck and what you can
do about it:

Hurry and don’t delay because the program goes live on the 18th of April.
My favorite part of the video is the story on “Susan.”  Susan had been wanting to improve her finances for years.

She had gone from one technique to the next but had continued to struggle.

What she didn’t realize at the time though was that there were things much deeper in her brain that were preventing her from getting the results that she wanted.

But when she used the simple technique you’ll learn in the video she was able to finally get the results that she was looking for effortlessly.

You need to see this video. Go here to see it now:

Think about the biggest issue that you want to work on right now? Are you sure you’re doing the right things to change it?

Watch the video above to find an easier way.

P.S. – The technique that Susan used and that you’re about to learn (it only takes 7 minutes to learn in the video) has been scientifically proven to get results. I’m talking about in the lab research that has shown its effects on the body and brain.

He claimed to be spiritual, but ended up being a man of the worst sort that preys on little children. Only the child he preyed on was my own and I didn’t find out until she had graduated and gone away to college, more than six years after the abuse ended. It took me a while to get my “stuff” together — but I left him and moved in with mom. I didn’t take anything from the relationship other than the things I owned. I wanted nothing to do with him.

What left me devastated for a while is that I always had the dream of the house with flower boxes and white picket fences where my daughters go grow up happy and secure — I had had such a rough childhood I wanted something different for them. When that didn’t happen, I don’t have the words to share with you the heartbreak I went through for my daughters and myself. Like me, my daughters are survivors and have moved on and healed.

For me, I questioned my worth as a woman, my inability to “see” what was happening and how I “attracted” this into my life and subsequently my daughter’s to begin with. What I’ve learned is too much to put here in this article, but in the “Little Book of Becoming” I share the method I used to draw my soul mate to me, the man who truly loves me for me and that I am still with today. I met him a just under a year after I moved in with my mother, and have been with him ever since. We were married in 1998 and in 2000, he began work on my dream house that I designed. He built my dream home for me because he wanted me to know that he truly loved me and that I was “worth” it.

Loving Yourself First

To attract the right man, you’ve got to love yourself first. That’s the most important thing I learned. I didn’t have healthy relationship models when I was growing up, so I didn’t learn how to love myself. I thought if I did what others wanted me to do, then they would love me. This is backwards. You have to love yourself first — healthily and wholly — to attract the right kind of man in your life. Attracting the right kind of man starts with knowing your worth as a woman. If you don’t understand this, go watch the “Joy Luck Club” so that you can understand this more thoroughly. It’s a good movie that will make you cry, but it will make you understand how important it is to love yourself first.

There’s a few things you can do to help this, and I’ve written about it in my article, Ten Tips for Loving Yourself. If you practice these things (and they’re all fun to do) you’ll get yourself into the right vibration to attract a good man.

So to bring this back to you, I want you to realize that you are worth it. Most women don’t understand men or how they tick, but after all I’ve been through, I’ve learned a lot. And my colleague, T “Dub” has created a wonderful program to help women not only attract the man she wants, but to get him to commit to her. What’s great about this program is that is written by two men, one a happily married man (for 16 years) and the other, a man considered by other men as a dating expert. This is a program for women written by men that gives them the tips to help attract and keep the right man. The information in this program is incredible and can surely help you attract and marry the man of your dreams.

T “Dub” offers a free video that provides three tips for free on what you can do right now to attract the man of your dreams and get him to propose to you. If you don’t like the program, you can get a refund — there is no risk. Visit today while the video is still available, I don’t know how long T. Dub will keep the video on the website.

What makes it difficult is that your mind doesn’t want to cooperate. The more you try to quiet your mind, the louder and more active it becomes.  Years of developed thought patterns take over and the act of meditation becomes a battle. If you’ve always wanted to meditate, but can’t get past the mind’s noise—new neurotechnology, brain wave entrainment, will have you mediating like a monk within a matter of minutes.

Brain Activity

In 1966, researchers conducted a study of what happens in a monk’s brain during meditation. Researchers discovered that monks’ brain waves significantly slowed down, showing increased alpha and theta wave activity during meditation.

Whether you are awake or asleep, neurochemicals are released in the brain causing electrical charges and activity in billions of brain cells. This activity results in four types of brain wave frequencies classified as alpha, theta, delta and beta.  Beta brain waves are when you are involved in focused activity or completing tasks, typically associated with your normal waking state. Alpha waves are associated with moments of alert relaxation and theta waves occur during deep meditation and the first stages of sleep. Delta waves happen during the sleep phase of rapid eye movement and deep sleep cycles.

Recent Study Results

Neuroscientists and researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard conducted an eight-week study published in the “Brain Research Journal” in April of last year. Researchers recruited 12 people who had never meditated before and trained six of them in a technique called mindfulness-based stress reduction. The other six were told not to meditate at all. The first group in the study meditated 45 minutes a day using a compact disc to help “train” the brain. Researchers completed brain scans at the beginning of the study, three weeks into the study and at the end of the study.

At the completion of the study, researchers discovered that those who were taught to meditate with these techniques exhibited increased alpha rhythms in the brain. Their brains also displayed changes in the amplitude, or size of the brain waves when specifically asked to use the technique. Beta waves range in frequencies between 12 and 50 hertz, while alpha brain waves range from 8 to 12 Hz and theta brain waves span between 4 and 8 Hz.

The Science behind Neurotechnology

Brain wave entrainment is neurotechnology that uses a technique called binaural beats. Binaural beats use different frequency sounds that are played in each ear simultaneously when listened to through a set of stereo headphones. The resulting effect of the different auditory tones induces increased alpha and eventually theta wave activity in the brain, the same brain wave patterns exhibited by meditating monks.

The studies of the effects of binaural beats on the brain, first discovered by Heinrich William Dove, a Prussian scientist and meteorologist in 1839, sat dormant until brought to the public’s attention by Dr. Gerald Oster, a researcher at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York. Oster published an article in the “Scientific American” in 1973 titled, “Auditory Beats in the Brain.” This led to further research by others and the eventual inclusion of binaural beats into brain wave entrainment discs used to help people achieve meditative states.

Binaural beats are often hidden beneath the sounds of nature on these discs. The brain processes the sounds automatically and drops brain wave frequencies in response to the binaural beats.  Within minutes of listening to the meditative compact discs with this technology, the brain begins to calm and quiet; brain waves move from beta to alpha, and then to theta, changing frequency outputs from 50 Hz to 8 Hz and lower.

Meditation Benefits

The value of meditation identified by multiple scientific researchers includes reduced anxiety and stress, improved concentration, improved relationships and increased alertness.  Users also experience increased self-esteem, feelings of rejuvenation and vitality, increased learning ability and more. Brain wave entrainment systems that use binaural beats provide these same benefits because it duplicates the same brain activity as mapped in the brains of those who’ve practiced meditation for years.

People often report that they simply feel better all the way around after using these meditative compact discs. Some users report that they immediately feel the stress dissolve in just a few minutes with use of this type of technology. The value of this technology helps to focus the mind and improve whole brain functioning. This adds clarity to thinking processes and increases creativity as it invokes a sense of expansiveness within.

What Happens During Meditation

When the brain reaches the “alpha state,” blood flow moves from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system, from the right prefrontal cortex area to the left just behind the forehead.

This part of the brain triggers relaxation, energy conservation and a slower pulse. The heart rate slows down, the body breathes easier and deeper, and falls into a quiet and relaxed state. And all this can be achieved by simply putting on a pair of stereo headphones and listening to a compact disc. Meditation becomes effortless.

Decreased Anxiety

Hollywood producer Allen Koss was looking for something to stop the downward cycle his life took a few years ago. He said that he tried everything without success until one day he stumbled onto an advertisement in “Psychology Today” for the Holosync Solution, a brain wave technology system. Overstressed and losing sleep and work, Koss was desperate for something to help him get rid of his anxiety and downward spiral into depression.

He remembers the first time he listened to one of the soundtracks using this new technology. “From the very first time I used the Centerpointe soundtracks, my stress level decreased. And, the more I used them, the less stressed I became. The only way I can describe it is to say that I felt as if I had been given a new brain, one that was much more focused and clear, had a much higher tolerance for stress and was a fountain of ideas.”

Whatever neurotechnology you decide upon, using brain wave entrainment can have you meditating like a monk within a matter of minutes. When you go to purchase your brain wave entrainment compact discs, verify the authenticity of the site and the company behind the compact discs before making the purchase. If the company provides a free sample, try that first to make sure you like the way it sounds and you feel comfortable with it. While many companies offer brain wave technology, not all use the binaural beats technique that makes the meditation so effective.

I’ve been on my spiritual journey since I was close to 16 years old, when I started studying things beyond my senses. I was led into religion at an early age, but by the time I was 22, I was already outside the doors of the church.

The God that I met inside those doors continued to grow – as I continued to grow – and religion could no longer contain me or my Father-Mother-God-of-All-That-Is.

And I have come full circle. I find myself where I started, but this time, everything’s different.

I find myself looking into the heart of God. The heart of love.

And it is UNCONDITIONAL.

And that love is for everyone. Even the people you and I don’t like. Even the tyrants – who, if you haven’t noticed, are exiting stage left and right all over the place. Why?

Because in a world that is moving towards compassion, love, freedom – there is no place for tyrants.

Everything is changing. Which means it’s time to change everything. Neale Donald Walsh said that and I agree.

I’ve accessed a lot of programs – as evidenced on this website – and I’ve participated in a lot of energy clearings, tonings, alignments, prayers, meditations and what have you. And all of that is good.

All of it.

Some stuff works and some doesn’t – not because it’s good or bad – but because it’s all of matter of what resonated with me. Some stuff does and some stuff doesn’t.

But in all these programs, in all these attempts to find the “Secret” button that changes everything, I’ve come back to basics – something I’ve known all along.

Love.

It’s all about Love.

Do you remember when you were a little child when you loved everything?

When everything was a mystery to uncover, an adventure to follow and your imagination led the way?

It can be like that again.

And it all starts with love.

The Beatles had it right.

All You Need Is Love.

All You Need Is Love.

All You Need Is Love.

When you GET that you are a divine child of the Universe and you are UNCONDITIONALLY loved – then something great shifts in your life.

If there is one thing that I can leave you with as we approach the upcoming holidays it is this:

You are Loved.

You are precious.

You are special.

I don’t care if no one has ever told you that or you don’t believe it.

I KNOW it.

All you need is love.

And that love starts with you.

It starts with you learning to love yourself, deeply, completely and unconditionally. And when you can feel that in your heart, when you KNOW that you are loved unconditionally, what do you think happens?

Miracles.

Let the miracles in.

Open your heart and feel the love. If you are a parent, you know how much you love your child — do you think the Great Universal Mother Father God of All That Is LOVES YOU any less?

Let the love in. Let yourself experience what it truly means to be unconditionally loved.

If you don’t know how — then go to a private place and ask. Ask whomever you believe in, whatever you believe in, even if it’s only yourself, ask to have your heart opened. Ask to feel and experience the love.

And be willing to receive it. Open your heart.

Let the Love In.

From my heart to yours — I’m sending you love.

From these words on this Internet page, I am sending you love.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you for being YOU —
