Man Discovers 4 Golden Ways to Control the Mind

November 7, 2008 by

There are many books on the Law of Attraction. It all started with a little book called The Secret. Since the book and DVD came out, there have been many other books to pop-up in bookstores everywhere. This is not a new topic. Many people such as Napoleon Hill, Charles Haanel, and others wrote about the same topic approximately 70 years ago!

The world can be a topsy-turvy place to live, especially for those who feel they’ve been dropped onto planet Earth! With so much that happens in our lives on a daily basis, it’s no wonder the world is so chaotic. If it’s true that thoughts become things and we are all part of the collective consciousness, it’s no wonder that we’ve become disconnected from one another.

Each of us has their own life to lead, but the decisions we make effect all of mankind. It’s the simple law known as cause and effect which states that the “universe is energy and everything is connected.” Remember that old saying, “you get what you give out.”

Controlling ones thoughts, henceforth, mind control can be done. Learn to use your intellect versus your emotions; you’ll be better off when the time comes to make decisions in your life.

4 Golden Rules of Mind Control

  1. Meditate. Did you know that meditating for 15 minutes each day can do wonders for your mind, body, and spirit? This is a great way to gain clarity.
  2. Do yoga. This ancient practice can help you to reclaim your mind. It will help you to align your body with your spirit. Practicing yoga will strengthen your core muscles and allow you to re-center yourself.
  3. Take responsibility for your thoughts. This can be difficult at first, especially when the average person thinks thousands of thoughts per day. Notice what you’re thinking at any given moment. Are the thoughts positive or negative? Do they revolve around family, work, finances, society, or friends? You may want to hire a life coach to help you to get to the root of issues in your life.
  4. Practice deep breathing exercises. These can be done while sitting down or standing up. Cleansing breaths are proven to be effective to aid in the flow of blood, increases digestion, improves the health of the nervous system, and much more!

    The next time you go to the grocery store — smile at everyone you see while thinking of a happy thought; it could be of a vacation you took, your kids, the fact that you just received a raise; anything that makes you feel happy. Observe peoples reaction to you. You may be surprised on how pleasant people can be.

    The next day, go somewhere else and do the opposite, be in a bad mood but not nasty! Watch how people react to you. You’ll be amazed at the results. After you do this test, make sure to clear your energy. This is why meditating and deep breathing exercises are very useful. Also, drink plenty of water. Many people believe that water is a good way to rid the body of toxins such as negative energy – it’s not just for flushing the fat out of your system!

    We do have the power to choose our thoughts on a daily basis. People often seek the answer to happiness. The answer is this: just be happy — choose to be happy. It’s that simple. You have a choice to be either happy or sad.

    Sometimes, we create unnecessary dramas in our lives that would give William Shakespeare a run for his money. Many people do this because it makes them feel alive. Others do it because it’s what they’ve been doing — it’s what is familiar and comfortable. Make the decision today to gain control over your mind, tomorrow live a better life!

Escape Your Mind and Find Freedom Outside of Yourself

October 23, 2008 by

Many people are constantly in their head. Of course, some of these people are writers so they’re always in their head because it’s part of their job.

For those of you who are not writers, being a prisoner of your mind may slowly drive you and the people around you insane! Freedom can be yours if you put your mind to it.

The worst “mind-crime” committed by people is negative self-talk. Negative chatter not only affects you, but everyone around you. This can include someone in a country far away such as Hungary. If you do not believe this to be true, just take a stroll through Barnes and Noble or any other bookstore. The New Age, Spirituality, and or Science sections of book stores are packed with books on “mind control.” Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” is very popular. Other books include Sandra Anne Taylor’s “Quantum Success.”

8 Ways to Escape Your Mind

  1. Meditate. A great way to re-center yourself.
  2. Yoga. Stretch the mind and body to align with your spirit.
  3. Deep breathing exercises. Releases the tension within your body.
  4. Listening to music. Whether you listen to metal, rock, jazz, pop, or indie, music will soothe your soul.
  5. Painting, drawing, or some other art project. Studies have shown that being creative enriches the brain.
  6. Go for a walk. A low impact exercise that will do your mind and body good.
  7. Let go. If you’re trying to force circumstances in your life such as relationships and careers, the best way is to detach and let go. If you want quick results, detachment is key.
  8. Journal. Release your thoughts onto paper in the morning or at night. A technique used by shamans is to write your thoughts on paper and then burn the paper. If you choose to do this, please be careful. You do not want Smokey the Bear showing up!

The mind is a powerful tool. Look at how far we’ve come with technologies, health care, and space exploration. If these are not indicators of how powerful the mind can be, then what is?

Free yourself from the trappings of your mind today and tomorrow your future will be brighter. Whether or not you believe in a collective consciousness, tune into the radio or watch television. The media constantly reports on the fears Americans have about America’s economic situation and now these fears have spread around the world.

Review the headlines of your local newspapers. If you’re still not convinced that the mind is a powerful instrument, take a look at your own life and “mind your thoughts” for a week or two. See what manifests in your life. You may or may not be pleasantly surprised!

Are you a victim of your own mind or someone else’s? What are you doing to break free?

Break Free From the Chokehold of Domestic Violence

August 18, 2008 by

Domestic violence. Night after night, the yelling and swearing coming from the apartment next door has become unbearable. Why does the woman on the other side of the wall stay with this man? A man who punches the wall, yells, and stomps the floor like a spoiled child that does not get his way.

Why do women stay with men who abuse them? Is it because they feel they are worthless? Do they have nowhere else to go? Are they dependent upon the men to support them financially? These are not good excuses for women to stay with men who treat them like garbage or property.

Domestic violence can be found cities and suburbs across the country. Do not be fooled and believe that abuse does not happen even in the wealthiest of cities or suburbs because it does. The facade of a luxurious apartment community can only work for so long. The walls have ears and the people on the other side may pickup the phone and dial 911!

If you are in a domestic violence situation, pickup the phone or find a shelter! Get out today in order to have a better future tomorrow. You are worth it! Take control of your life and contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Also visit Bank Rate (to learn about the impact of financial abuse in domestic violence relationships) and Medicine Plus.
