Quantum science is going beyond the probe of atoms, and exploring the weird and wacky!

By : John Peace In understanding the Law of Attraction, we come to realize that we attract into our lives whatever we give our Attention, Energy and Focus to. Whether wanted or unwanted. That with synchronicity, we attract from the outside what we resonate with, on the inside, bringing into our life what we momentarily strongly focus upon.

By : John Peace We all know someone who is a Law of Attraction intention manifest master, someone who, seemingly understands the Law of Attraction success principles and with ease appears to have everything they want, usually people who we’ve thought, much more fortunate than we were.

Have Fun Learning Creativity By : Jim DeSantis You have some great ideas. You toss them around in your mind. You tell friends about them. They go nowhere. Why?

And, you, of course, couldn't be one of that select group. That is not true at all. There Is Always Room At The Top! By : wisdomisgreat "Good chances for the young no longer exist as formerly, "complained a youthful law student to Daniel Webster. "You are mistaken, "replied the great statesman and jurist, "there is always room at the top." Yes!

I was standing in front of an open cupboard in my kitchen, my eyes flicking between a box of Frosties and a box of Cornflakes, trying to decide which to have for breakfast. I stood there for 5 minutes, until - utterly frustrated - I slammed the cupboard door shut and went without breakfast altogether. I’ve learned to make decisions quicker and easier now and it’s something that I’ll often work with clients to im... Learn The Art Of Allowing By : To learn the art of allowing learn to allow the negative events in your life without judging them negative or resisting them – pushing against them. When you separate the life flow by judging either good or bad you will create scenarios for yourself that you will experience as either good or bad. Learn to develop the art of allowing. That means let people, events, and circumstances be what they are. Just let them be. Oftentimes as we become more enlightened within our... What You Didn’t Learn At School By : How to be successful, rich and live an exciting and ever changing life! You see, our natural entrepreneurial flare to succeed and be unique was kicked out of us, through our school years. Once it was finally gone, we were then molded into the perfect citizen, one who does as they are told and are told what they are good and bad at. Living the rest of our lives, never to think about great and wonderful things again. The problem with conventional education, is that it lea... How Do I Use The Law Of Attraction? By : You’ve heard about the Law of Attraction, but you’re still having a hard time getting it to work for you? Changing your thoughts can appear a daunting task, but it is one that you must undergo if you truly desire change. Here’s a question you should begin to ponder … Is my goals and desires worth the effort required in order to bring about the manifestation? Changing your thoughts to focus upon positive aspects most of the time is a time consuming challenge and will req... Your Time On Earth Is Far From Over! By : As we begin to age, we usually begin to question how long we have left to be alive. (Have you ever experienced this?) Perhaps, after several decades of life, we begin to take stock of our accomplishments, and wonder if some of the dreams we have cherished since childhood will ever come true. In moments of despair, we might imagine that, for some dreams, it is simply too late. Some lucky people, when they reach the stage when such questions arise, enjoy a sort of second chi... Be Careful What You Wish For By : Tim Knox Well, my friends, like the Terminator, politicians named Clinton, the ghosts from the movie Poltergeist, and that corn on the side of your big toe: I’m back. There are just some things that won’t go away. Sorry. You Can Eliminate Scarcity Thinking! By : Is the Law of Attraction not working for you? Maybe it's because you think that there is not enough to go around or that you're not good enough or that others always seem to get what you want. Honestly, I've thought these same things myself. And it's beliefs and thoughts like these that work against us and help to sabotage whatever positive work we're doing. The Law of Attraction works whether you believe it can or not. And it's powered by your most prevalent thoughts. ... The Incredible Power Of Intent By : Imagine two big spotlights. One is pointed upward, casting light far into the air. The other is pointed downward and buried into the earth - no light is cast at all. This is like intent. There are only two possible intentions in any given moment: the intent to learn about loving yourself and others, and the intent to protect against pain with some form of controlling behavior. When you consciously choose the intent to learn, your light points upward, shining upon the... Be A Control Freak -- It's Your Life! By : Most people like to make decisions about their own lives. In fact, psychologists tell us that we are healthier when we can make our own decisions. However, despite our best intentions, sometimes disputes end up in court where someone else will make decisions about our lives - the judge. During the lawsuit, each side can make arguments about how it wants things to turn out, but the judge has the final say in shaping the outcome of the dispute. At the end of the lawsuit, the... EFT Therapy .vs. Counselling By : EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is the fastest growing self-help tool on the planet. The freely available learning material and fast, self-applied process achieve the same end as traditional talk-therapy, but do so much faster and more comfortably.

You Can Free Yourself Of Misery By : “Life is short, misery is optional.” – Unknown I think I saw this quote on a bumper sticker, I’m not sure. I have searched for the author but could not find a positive connection anywhere, but the quote is great and succinct. Why it is that some people just insist on being miserable? Misery is a choice and that is the point of the quote. You don’t have to be miserable. Why then are there so many who we see everyday that are? People who are this way seem to be trapped in... Belief In Yourself By : When you have belief in yourself then you have power in your own life. So many people do not believe in themselves and look outside themselves for the direction and the power in their life. Look within. Look to yourself. Believe in you. Each and everyone of you have a tremendous ability to accomplish whatever you desire to do in your life. Each and everyone of you have the ability to direct your life in the manner you wish it to go. Each and everyone of you have been given... Life With A Filled Cup By : Have you ever noticed yourself living without really taking noticing of life? Sometimes we get into what I call "head-space". By this I mean we live life as a concept rather than making our days come to life. We just get on and do, do, do and end up feeling like, well... do-do! When you get out of the head-space life can become an adventure. In head-space we are caught up in things that must be done. We can often live life with our eyes half closed and with our actio... Bursting Free Of Mediocrity By : “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.” - Albert Einstein One of the first lessons in life we should be taught is the 80/20 principle with all of its ramifications. One of them is, that twenty percent of the people accomplish eighty percent of what matters in this world. We are absol... How To Beat Your Procrastination By : Procrastination.

Binaural Beats And Their Uses By : Binaural beats are perceived sounds; in other words, they are not real, except to your brain. How do they work if they are unreal, then? It triggers the brain responses at a irresistible level, and can train your brain to do anything that it might otherwise find difficult to accomplish on its own. To sum it up, binaural beats are like the brain's imaginary little friend who cannot be 'seen' or rather, cannot be heard but still is able to stimulate your mind better than many o... Using Subliminal CDs For Your Benefit By : Subliminal CDs work by sending positive affirmations into your subconscious mind, which is not able to reason by itself, unlike the conscious mind. This allows it to accept the positive messages as reality and work to ensure that it does bear fruit. Subliminal CDs helps the subconscious mind to accept the message as a mental command, much similar to one that you may issue it through constant repetition of positive affirmation messages, for example. There are many different wa... Kindness Is Empowering By : “Kindness is the highest form of intelligence.” - Wayne Teasdale I was at the receiving end of kindness this evening. My wife and I were visited by a pair of traveling missionaries who we welcomed into our home to allow them to warm themselves. Conversation ensued and before we knew it, it was nearly 9:00 p.m. I must say it was the two best hours I have spent in weeks because my soul was refreshed from the outpouring of kindness that I had the joy of experiencing. These mi... Change Your Mind - Change Your Life By : “The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.” – William James As huge of a discovery this was to the acclaimed American psychologist and philosopher, so it was to me at about age eighteen. Like a light bulb that went off in my head, I realized for the first time with distinct clarity that I could actually alter my life; and boy did my life need altering. I was a troubled teen stuck in the wrong cro... Why Are Things Changing So Quickly In Our Lives Today? By : Why is the world so different than it was just a few years ago? Who are you? In offering you my writings, my hope is that you also remember and that your memories empower you, giving you the key! Many across the universe have realized what we on Earth have been doing for nearly twelve thousand years and are watching us, excited at the opportunity to take part in our new consciousness. That is why so many visit us from distant civilizations throughout the gal... What Does It Mean To Have Integrity? By : When I was in school training to be a psychotherapist, one of my professors introduced me to a concept that I find very valuable: "bad faith." We are in bad faith with ourselves and others when we are out of alignment with what is true for "who we really are." Who we really are - who is this? Let's talk about who you really are in terms of your essential Self - the soul within that is a spark of the Divine. All of us have an essence that is an individualized expre... How To Easily Manifest More Money In Your Life By : OK, so you want to manifest money fast. Let's face it, apart from a handful of folks like Bill Gates, you're in a pretty large group. The first question you'll likely be asking yourself is whether or not it's actually possible to do. Or do you have to be a superhero of some sort before it will work? The good news is that, yes, it is possible to manifest money or near enough anything else you want. World peace might be a stretch for one person on their own, but if enough... Kicking Negativity By : "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." --Seneca, Roman philosopher, mid-1st century AD Whoa! Things seem to be in a state of flux at this moment in history, don't they? Just turn on CNN and you'll see how topsy turvy things are with doomsday and apocalypse on the horizon. It's enough to turn even the most well adjusted, reasonable person into a confused, pissed off obsessive ready to jump off a bridge. I say, keep your rudder in the water and make life ... Think Positive And Grow Rich By : Nearly everyone I’ve ever come across in my adult life has heard of the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. Each has had a fairly good understanding of the theory of positive thinking, most giving favorable thoughts and merit to the concept.. Many motivational Gurus have regurgitated this philosophy as their own and repackaged it as the latest “wealth building” system and made a fortune doing so. “The Secret” is the latest program to do so. Actually, “The Secret”... What Are Theta Binaural Beats? By : Binaural beats operate at different frequencies and are designed to quickly and easily take your brain into different states. Theta binaural beats are programmed to induce the patterns that your brain runs when it is in either deep sleep or a deep meditative state. Binaural beats work by playing slightly different frequencies into your ears. When your brain tries to resolve the minor difference between the two beats you're hearing, they take you quickly and effortlessly in... Sedona Method Emotions: What Are The Sedona Method Emotions? By : The Sedona Method says that we go through a series of 9 different emotional states, often referred to as the Sedona Method emotions. Here's a list of these states and some of the feelings that you're likely to experience when you're stuck in a particular state. You can use the Sedona Method questions to let go of these emotions. Apathy The lowest of the low. Generally speaking, you're so apathetic that you just can't be bothered to do anything. Kind of like the way a... The Benefits Of Organization By : "Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." -Albert Einstein I did something very interesting and almost enjoyable over the weekend. It's enjoyable for me today, but in retrospect, it was kind of a difficult process. I did a major fall cleaning of my whole office and got everything reorganized and put together nicely. It actually reminded me for some strange reason of my childhood and it re... Persuading Through Personality Segmentation By : 'A part of me really wants to buy your product.' What does 'a part of me' mean? When someone says, 'well, part of me wants this, but another part wants that', what is that person talking about? Well, for one, this is a way for us to talk about our experiences. It's also a way to assign blame to a force greater than or at least different than our 'self'. What you need to consider, however, is that the words we speak are things, actual, tangible things, as real as the comput... Finding Success And Happiness By Making Lists By : We all need to be organized. We all need to accomplish more and be more productive. We all need to make more efficient use of our time. What to do? That reminds me of a song by OK Go which says, “What to do? Sweetheart, you’ll find mediocre people do exceptional things all the time.” So if mediocre people can do exceptional things (and you’re far from mediocre, right?) so can you! One of the best ways to accomplish great things is to have a plan of action, and that’s wh... Crossing The Belief Barrier By : "Only he who can see the invisible can do the impossible.” – Frank Gaines When I was young I accomplished an amazing feat. I learned how to play the guitar. By the time I was 17 I played in a band with a group of musicians and music became more challenging with each day. As I look back now I wonder when I began believing I could do that. At 10 years of age I used to watch my dad play his guitar, play the harmonica in accompaniment, and sing the verses to some great country... "Bump In The Road" Theory: Do You Give Up Too Easily? Six Steps To Take By : It seems there are two main types of coaching clients: Those who are defeated by nothing and those who give up at the first "bump in the road". The operative word is "bump", not "hill", not "mountain", not "mountain range" but "bump”. What does this mean? This refers to the type of person who chooses a goal and plans a way to accomplish it, but gives up at the first minor setback, disappointment or adversity. Perhaps the goal is to get physically fit and they decide to wal... Stuck... What Does It Mean? A Nine Step Plan To Get Unstuck By : Frequently clients state that they feel "stuck". What does it mean when someone expresses that they are stuck or feel stuck? Some of the things feeling "stuck" can mean: - They have a wide range of potential options and are unclear as to how to narrow down their choices and focus on one. - They have a wide range of options, but none of the options excites them. - They have a wide range of options, but don’t really want to pursue any of them. - There is informat... Are You The Winner In A Suffering Competition? A Seven Step Solution By : Have you ever known someone (or does it describe you?) who seems to believe that they suffer more than any others have ever suffered...to the point where it becomes their identity? There is an element of, "My suffering has been greater than yours...or anyone else’s!" They actually seem to have an aggressive attitude with their suffering, as if there is a suffering competition and they are the obvious winner. Perhaps it is part of the human condition to be somewhat narcissisti... Artists Get Rich: Try Flipping From One Side Of The Brain To The Other! By : Artist clients often are working from a "starving artist" mentality. They think it’s required to suffer for their art. They consider it virtuous to struggle along, just scraping by, barely able to pay the bills. They find it challenging to get the resources to perfect their art and realize it fully. They live a Bohemian lifestyle in lofts and slum style buildings to satisfy the expression of their art. What could be the problem in this? The main problem is the artist’s dre... An Ultimate Lifestyle Secret - The Power Of Accountability By : Accountability means being held to account, scrutinized, and being required to give an account or explanation of your actions and decisions. Somewhere in the last half century or so, society as a whole seemed to forget that there was such a thing as personal responsibility or personal accountability. Whether accountability and responsibility disappeared in the rush to claim the almighty dollar as the most important thing in life or whether they disappeared along with moral... Seperating Yourself From Your Ego By : Your ego is both inspiring and full of deceit, on the surface it appears to be helping you, it gives you small boosts of gratification when you succeed and that helps keep you going, however on the flip side it is also one of the biggest hindrances you will face in life. You see your ego just wants you to be safe, to have fun and to be the best, however what it doesn't realize is that failure can be a good thing. In fact, your ego hates failure, it loathes nothing more, and t... Feeling Your Life's Just Not Quite Right? By : Are you feeling on top of the world right now? Feeling incredibly successful and enjoying life to the max? If the answer is no, I've got something quite shocking to tell you, success isn't going to change that. Its funny that often people equate success to being happy "oh if I had a threesome, then I'd be happy", "If I could have 5 girls on the go, dating them all at once, then I'd be really happy". It's seen even more in the world of finance "all I need is another $5k a y... Visual Representational Systems: See The Light By : Representational systems, we all use them whether we're oriented visually, auditorily or kinesthetically. In previous articles, I've given an overview of VAK. These are the ways we view the world. There is tremendous value in gaining rapport with your affluent clients and prospects by focusing on their representational system. This article focuses our gaze on visual language. When people use visual words to represent what they're thinking, words like 'bright', 'vibrant', '... The Secret To Quickly Moving From ‘Good To Great’ By : This article revolves around a single yet very powerful question I have to ask you: Do you want your life to be ‘good’…or do you want it to be ‘great’? Simple enough question. And yet, how you answer will dictate the kind of experiences you have in the very near future. Let me explain. For the past week, I’ve been listening to Jim Collins’ book, “Good To Great” on 6 CDs. I’ve already listened to the first half of the book twice and I’ll probably play it another 4 tim... Practice 'Creating Space' To Improve Your Life By : Stop what you’re doing and look around at where you’re sitting this moment. Now look in the direction of your boss’s office. So here’s my question: why are you sitting where you are and NOT where your boss is sitting? Ok, fine..maybe you don’t have a boss…are you an entrepreneur? Well then ask yourself the same question: Why am I sitting where I am now and NOT where I want to be? I get emails every day from people saying they’re unemployed or making $30k, $60k,...
