Regression Therapy - Why You Should Remember Past Lives

Do you feel unwanted? Are you suffering from addiction of any sort? Are you always being bullied or victimized for a reason you doesn't even know? Do you have anger issues? How about your relationships, are they good? Do you seem to lack something even though you almost have everything?

If you think that you are having issues on one of these areas and you tried every possible way to address them but they still keep on coming around then you MUST read this article as you may never have considered that Regression Therapy could help solve all your problems!

In the words of the Past Life Therapy Center, regression therapy is "facing the dark to encourage the light". This is a form of hypnotherapy where the client is helped by a therapist to revisit their past while still fully conscious.

These previous experiences include episodes of one's adulthood, adolescence, early childhood, and the period wherein the individual is still inside the mother's womb.

It is however possible with past life regression therapy to go back further than this prenatal stage, and help the client to remember lives they had in the past.

This is not a concept that everyone can accept. 'Conventional' science tells us that this life is the only life we experience and when we die it is the end.

Clients have been known to speak in foreign languages or recite "memories" of famous battles and wars. Some even conclude that they lived during pre-historic times and remember hunting big game with their spouse, who is in fact their current mate.

What is really exciting is when people can manage to physically verify information about things that they remembered during their past life regression therapy session. This can be done by looking at old parish records etc.

There are also startling reports around the world of children who can accurately remember their recent past lives and get to meet people still living that they were once related to.

It really helps in this life if we know what happened to us during those times in the past, because this form part of the way we look at this life, thus giving us the ultimate comprehension of ourselves and the patterns of our perspective.

Regression therapists coined a term called 'Faulty Thoughts'. These are the negative thoughts that the individual himself has created in the previous life therefore carrying over emotional baggage and bad 'karma' into the present life.

The only person who can change these negative thought processes is the one who created them in the first place. For this reason, the client must undergo regression therapy that enables him or her to change the negative energy into positive. This can be achieved by things like forgiveness, karmic repayment and re-patterning.

Forgiveness is based on the biblical scripture that reads, "Do unto others what you want others do unto you." Karmic repayment, from the word 'karma' (neither good nor bad; it is what our mentality is uttering that we should experience as a result of our previous actions), means correcting one's negative behavior in order to repay them.

A person must use remedial action to transform the energy field into one of gentleness, care, tranquility and harmony.

Regression therapy can be quite exhausting but is reportedly a life-changing event. Most people say their results were positive ones; leading them to a life with a better outlook and strengthened sense of self.

To get to this place of peace and renewal, clients have to be committed to the process and be willing to come to truly know themselves and change their expectations for their lives.

Regression therapy offers a truly unique way of looking at the human mind and personality and whether to help with problems you may be having or to satisfy your curiosity about past lives, it is something worthy of your consideration.

Bodybuilding Diet Plan, What to Eat and When

Bodybuilding is an art that calls for strong determination, will power, dedication, routine lifestyle, regular exercising, and most importantly a proper and healthy diet. Bodybuilders have always been the masters of dieting. No sport athlete other than bodybuilders has ever been able to manipulate their body the way they want.

Bodybuilders are able to lose and gain body weight just by adjusting their diet. Although your diet is important in order to have that perfect V-Shape body with bulging muscles, a proper workout is equally important. Many people have the idea that not eating will help them lose weight. It is not a healthy way of shedding extra weight, though it is true.

You will be surprised to know, you can lose weight by eating as well. But that definitely doesn't mean you can eat anything and everything you want, yet expect to reduce weight. Shedding weight and shaping your body calls for proper diet plan.

Whether you wish to keep healthy, or build a Stallone-like physique, you must eat properly to help you boost the process. Now that you know how important a role healthy diet plan plays in the process of bodybuilding, you may be wondering what a bodybuilding diet plan is all about.

A bodybuilding diet should consist of nutritious and healthy food and in right amounts. Let's take a look at the kind of diet plan you need to follow to help you build a well-toned healthy muscular body.

Breakfast: 1 cup cooked non-instant oatmeal. Seven scrambled eggs (1 whole+6 or more whites). 1 cup coffee. 1 glass of apple juice.

First Snack: 1 small glass of water. 1 protein shake.

Lunch time: 1 can tuna fish. 2 slices of wheat bread. 1 spoon of sweet relish. Dash of celery-salt. 1 large glass of water.

Snack: 1 protein shake. 1 small glass of water

Dinner: 1 salmon steak or baked boneless chicken breast. 1 serving of brown rice. 1 serving of green beans. 1 large glass of water.

Before going to bed: 1 protein shake. 1 small glass of water.

By now you should have figured out that water is the common denominator in all of the meals. This is because water plays a very important role in your bodybuilding diet plan. It is recommended to drink around 8-9 glasses of water every day. Be vigilant about consuming enough water on a daily basis, it assists in boosting your body's building process.

In conclusion, following a proper diet plan is extremely important in maintaining a muscular and healthy body. If you can stick to the diet plan and a good exercise regimen, you will be able to achieve a muscular body much faster than you might expect.

Do You Dream Of Becoming A Lucid Dreamer?

Many people want to dream lucidly. If you're among them, the first thing you need to think about is how you want to go about learning.

It's important to think about why you'd like to become a lucid dreamer, too. There are a number of benefits to dreaming this way, but first we should look at normal sleep, so we'll understand them.

Normal sleep helps us refresh ourselves for the next day. However, if you were a lucid dreamer, you would be able to control the period of time when you were dreaming.

Instead of having to observe passively, you could be the person who leads your dream to be whatever you would like. 

Consider the idea of taking control of your own dreams. What would it feel like to purpose what direction your dreams would take you? Explore new worlds that are only limited to your control and imagination. This is what it means to be a lucid dreamer, kind of the ultimate fantasy world where you call all the shots. 

So if you want to become a lucid dreamer how do you do it? There are actually two ways. The first way is having a dream-initiated lucid dream (DILD), which is where the dreamer is in a dream and then realizes that they are, restoring their sense of consciousness within the dream. 

The second method is called WILD, and stands for wake-initiated lucid dream. This is when you start out awake and fall asleep, but do not experience a change in consciousness levels. This is the process of simply entering a dream, the same way you'd walk through a door, instead of waking up inside the dream.

So, what methods are used to induce both of these kinds of lucid dream experiences?

Dream Recall

A simple place to start when you would like to lucid dream is in dream recall. This is where you can remember and perhaps recite your dream in part or in whole. You are very likely to have the same dream more than once in your life and being able to remember them will alert you the next time you have that particular dream. 

The way to practise dream recall is by keeping a dream journal. The dream journal is meant as a tool to write down anything you can remember about your dream, in order to recall it for the future. This should be done right after waking up; otherwise dreams will become harder to remember. 

Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD)

This is a technique that was developed by Dr. Stephen LaBerge, one of the lead scientists studying lucid dreaming. The intent here is to simply tell yourself that you will remember something, like an object for example and then in the dream, when you see this object you will realize it is a dream. 

Wake-Back-to-Bed (WBTB)

To use this method, first go to sleep. Set an alarm beforehand to wake you up a few hours later (about five or six). Once you wake up, don't go back to sleep. Read for a little while, or think about lucid dreaming for a while, then head back to sleep. 

According to LaBerge, this technique has about a sixty percent success rate. That's because you wake up in the middle of your sleep cycle, with your mind not fully aware, and are still in the middle of your REM cycle. This results in something a lot like telling your mind you want to dream lucidly and having it obey!

Cycle Adjustment Technique

As the name suggests this technique is all about cycling your sleep. Go to bed at your normal time but for a week set an alarm to wake you one and a half hours early. You should continue to do this for around 7 days. Once your body has settled somewhat into this routine, begin to alternate your wake up times. One day normal, wake up time the next early, on your normal days you will be trying to wake up early and should increase lucid dream chances. 

Wake-initiation of Lucid Dreams (WILD)

This method was described before. If you would like to achieve a lucid dream this way, all you have to do is to keep your mind awake while you body falls asleep. This is perhaps the most interesting way of entering a lucid dream. It is as if you are getting ready to watch a movie. You are in the real world, you sit on your couch, you turn on the TV and press play (starting to sleep), the screen is black (in the same way as when your eyes are closed), and all you have to do is wait for the movie to actually start. 

Several ways to stay aware but not awake include imagining descending or going up stairs, chanting, counting, breathing control, counting your breaths, and relaxing your body from head to toe. This all falls under self hypnosis. Don't do this when you're tired, or you'll simply fall unconscious.

Recent technological advances mean that dreaming masks and other useful devices have been developed. They contain strobe lights and other devices that are believed to induce lucid dreaming.

The most reliable and easiest way of inducing a lucid dream may be listening to binaural beats sound frequencies through headphones.

The sounds bring the two sides of the brain in synch. Your brainwaves are then converted to REM waves the time during sleep when you dream and the frequency at which lucid dreams occur. 

Combined with the self hypnosis sessions and affirmations to prepare your subconscious mind beforehand, becoming a lucid dreamer is something that everyone can now experience!

Seven Ways to Attract More Money

Want to attract more money?

Wondering why you haven't attracted it when you've done everything you thought you needed to do?

What really works when it comes to attracting more money, anyway?

I've been studying the Law of Attraction for more than three decades. I've written several books about it, including The Attractor Factor and The Key. That's why I ended up in the movie The Secret, and then on Larry King and Donny Deutsch's televison shows, among others. I know how the Law of Attraction works, and I know why so many people don't clearly understand it.

When it comes to the Law of Attraction, most people want to learn how to use it to attract more money first. After that, they'll wonder how to attract romance, cars, homes, happiness, and everything else. But money is the starting place for most people.

So, how do you attract more money?

When it comes to attracting anything -- and money in particular -- there are seven ways to do it right. Here they are:

1. Give Money Away

It sounds counter-intuitive but the more you give, the more you will receive (unless you block the receiving, which ties into the next step). Give openly and freely to wherever you received spiritual nourishment. Give on a regular basis, too. The rule of thumb is to give 10% of whatever you receive, but it's also smart to give more when you feel inspired to do so.

Remember, give to the person, place, or group that has kept your spirit alive. Just ask "Where was I most inspired this past week?" and give to that source. And ask the question daily or weekly as the source will often change.

Here's an inside tip: When most people give money, they do it with a tight fist. They don't give much. Why not? Because they're afraid. They're holding on. Well, the energy of fear will attract more things to fear. Instead, give money with an open heart and an expectation of return. Give in love.

2. Get Clear

Most people push money away with their hidden limiting beliefs, such as "money is bad" or "rich people are evil." Those are beliefs, not facts. Get clear of them and money will come to you (as long as you also do the next step).

Getting clear is truly "The Missing Secret" to making the Law of Attraction work for you all the time. After all, it isn't your conscious intentions that are being manifested in your life, it is your un-conscious counter-intentions.

For example, when you set a goal on New Year's day to stop smoking or date more, what happened the next week? You gave up your conscious goal for your un-conscious belief that you couldn't do it. You weren't in alignment with your intention. You werent' "clear."

Most likely in your unconscious mind you have limiting beliefs about money, such as -

a.. "Money is evil." b.. "Money will attract problems." c.. "Money will make me a selfish person." d.. "Wanting money is greedy." e.. "Rich people are snobs."

If you have one or more of those limiting beliefs within you, do you really think you'll attract any money? In truth, you'll attract NOT having money.

Why? Because your unconscious counter-intention ("Money is bad") will veto your conscious intention ("I now attract more money into my life").

Is it any wonder some people say the movie The Secret or the Law of Attraction doesn't work? Obviously, once you clear those hidden blocks/beliefs to your success, your success has nothing in the way of happening. The roadblocks are gone.

I talk about ways to get clear in my new audioprogram, "The Missing Secret." One thing you can do right now is to simply question your beliefs. Become a belief detective and look for those limiting beliefs about money. When you release your inner blocks, you will attract more money.

3. Take Action

Too many people sit and wait for money to materialize in front of them. I believe in magic and miracles, but I also believe that your role in the process of attracting money is to actually do something to bring it your way. Act on your ideas. Now. "Money likes speed" is my favorite mantra.

If you don't act now, you'll see your idea manifested in a store some day and somebody else will be attracting money from it. What can you do right now, today, to move toward creating something that will attract more money? Whatever it is, do it.

When you doubt and second-guess yourself instead of taking action, you are demonstrating that you aren't yet clear (see second tip above) about money and your right to attract it. Act now and get rich.

4. Support a Cause

Most people push money away because they don't feel they deserve it. One way around this (while you still work on getting clear inside yourself) is to want money for a larger purpose. I created Operation YES to end homelessness. Raising hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more) for that cause will remove any remaining prosperity limitations within me. While I won't receive a dime from Operation YES, my working on its behalf will attract money to me in other ways, such as the contacts and goodwill I'll create.

In short, want money for a larger reason than your own ego. This is a beautiful way to attract more money without wanting it only for yourself. Realize that when you are wealthy, you are better able to help family, friends, your community, and even the world. A good reason to attract more money is for all the good it can do for others, not just you. Ask yourself what cause would you support (or even create) once you attracted more money?

5. Get Support

One of the wisest things you can do to achieve any goal is create or join a master mind group devoted to it. I co-authored Meet and Grow Rich with Bill Hibbler for this reason: to teach you how to create a support group.

The idea is to be around people who can keep your energy and inspiration high. While you can make progress alone, it's so much easier when you have support.

This support can also come in the way of audiotapes, books, and other learning tools. I've been buying audios from Nightingale-Conant for more than thirty years for just that reason: it helps me stay focused on constantly growing and improving. Even when I was struggling, I went to the library and borrowed books and tapes to keep me informed and inspired. Today I can afford to buy my own materials, but it's only because I invested in my education every step along the way.

I created "The Missing Secret" audio set to help people understand the practical use of the Law of Attraction. Again, all of this is support in helping you attract more money.

6. Be Grateful

This is huge. Be thankful for the money you have - which is probably considered true wealth by people starving in third world countries - and you'll begin to attract more money. Gratitude sends off a signal of appreciation, which brings to you more to be thankful for. Begin with whatever is in this moment that you can be sincerely grateful for.

After I was homeless and while I was still experiencing poverty, I began this exercise by holding a pencil and being grateful for it. Once I truly experienced gratitude, it shifted my energy vibe so I could then experience more to be grateful for. Today I have much to be thankful for - from houses to cars to collectible guitars -- but it all began with a pencil.

Look around and ask yourself what you are grateful for right now. Then get into that feeling.

7. Do what you Love

There's no sense in working at something you hate. If you are currently at a job you don't like, find a way to enjoy it for the time you are there while working towards doing your passion. Following your passion is the greatest secret of all when it comes to attracting wealth.

Everyone from Donny Deutsch to Donald Trump to Bill Gates to little ole me agree that passion (combined with the other steps above) is your ticket to financial freedom. Even when I worked for oil companies back in Houston and didn't like my work, I found ways to do what I loved. I wrote my first book on my lunch hours. I spoke on weekends and sold my book in the back of the room. Over time, doing what I love became my life. And today it's my moment by moment wonder.

Ask yourself what you would do even if you were never paid. That's a clue to what you should be doing and of course finding a way to be paid for it. You can attract more money from love.

Finally, expect success.

The mindset of expectation - expecting that you are now attracting money and playfully looking around, asking "I wonder how big money will come to me today?" - will keep your brain turned on to seek and find opportunities. You of course then have to take fearless action when you see them.

Go for it!

The Incredible Cosmic Ordering Process

Everyone today is looking for ways to improve their lives. What they want is to live a fulfilled life, one in which they can get what they want and be able to enjoy what they already have. There are many options that will help you in realizing this dream but the best one is cosmic ordering.

What is cosmic ordering? It is a spiritual practice where you are able to get from the universe everything it is you want in life. You ask, or order something, and you will receive it. While this is a spiritual process, don't be swayed to think that you have to be a "Saint" and only do good things in order to get what it is you want from life. Yes, that's a benefit but not a requirement. 

Cosmic ordering, very simply is the spiritual manifestation of your dreams and desires. You can ask for anything from the universe. A change in your life or perhaps a change in situation, which will help you to attain your desired objective.

According to Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Wayne Dyer, to place an order with the universe you must be in, what they call the "field of intent." This is an energy field, that is obviously invisible, but it is where our spirit connects to the universe and then returns conscious desires. 

Chances are more likely then not that you have done this in the past and not even realized it. Think back about a time where you wanted something, or needed something and then by coincidence you got it. This wasn't coincidence; this was cosmic ordering at work. 

However this method depends on your ability to concentrate and the limits of your intention, within which your desires and belief condense. This leads to envisaging a new situation where you must believe that you deserve what you have been asking for, and keep in mind that you must be sincere in your effort of ordering it.

If you believe in the fact that you deserve a better life, ask for it, without being affected by the fact that you have not really worked for it. That's how sound your belief should be. 

This is not too hard to grasp, is it? It doesn't involve strenuous spiritual exercises, but asks for self confidence. If you place your confidence in positive things, that positive change will influence your life. However if you meditate solely on negative aspects, the effects shall be adverse. 

For example, if you think and believe that you are going to get fired, you probably will. So think positively and focus on what you really want.

Most people believe that do not deserve a lot of things because they deem themselves a failure. This negative mode of thinking affects his/her performances in every aspect of life! 

Sometimes your own subconscious mind works against you and tries to keep things in your life the same as they are now.

To attain success in cosmic ordering, your subconscious mind must be ready to accept the fact that you deserve changes and what you wish for. 

To do this, try a bit of meditation or self hypnosis. And believe in yourself!

People have completely changed their lives using cosmic ordering. Isn't it time that you lived the life that you really want? Here is your chance, using cosmic ordering to enjoy a truly fulfilled life.
