Personal Mastery And Improving Your Confidence

Self- confidence is something that people find difficult to have. There are people who find low self-confidence influences the way they see themselves and their performance. Contrary to what most people think, self confidence is not something that only the gifted and blessed could have. With the help of personal mastery, individuals could now start building on their self-confidence.

Personal mastery is about self-development and self-improvement. It is about loving yourself and accepting yourself as you are. You need to acknowledge your weaknesses and at the same time strengthen them. Personal mastery is about loving yourself.

Methods Of Self-Esteem Improvement

Many of us suffer from low self-esteem and lack self-confidence, you'll be happy to know that there are many methods for self-esteem improvement.

The first question you should ask yourself when attempting to improve your self esteem is whether there are issues that need to be addressed with a professional counselor. This is particularly true if your low self-esteem is driving you to abuse alcohol or other drugs and is interfering in your life in a major way. If so, you may need to speak with a therapist or counselor who specializes in self-esteem issues.

Improve your self confidence in 15 minutes

I used to be frighteningly under confident in social situations. And although people who know me now would never believe I used to doubt myself so much I literally had to learn confidence until it became a natural part of me. I can tell you relaxed optimistic confidence is just, well so much more fun.

Here I'll tell you about the things that made the most difference to my confidence levels...

Some people have naturally high levels of confidence but everybody can learn to be more confident

Firstly, it's important to get a clear idea of what self confidence really means, otherwise you won't know when you've got it! So, self-confidence means:

1) Being calm. For every situation in life you need to run on the appropriate level of emotion. Too much emotional 'leakage' into a experience can spoil the experience. You make great strides towards confidence when you begin to relax in a greater range of situations.

2) Being cool. The second part of self confidence is about being able to relax with uncertainty. To be 'cool' in a situation really means relaxing with not knowing how things will pan out. If you truly tolerate uncertainty, you can do pretty much anything.

3) Not being too concerned with what others think of you. You know when you imagine what some place is going to be like before you go there but when you get there it is totally different to your imagination? That's how reliable your imagination is! Stop trusting your imagination so much. I've long since stopped bothering to imagine what others think of me because so often I've turned out to be wrong.

4) Being specific - where do you want confidence? 'Confidence' is meaningless until you tie it to something specific. You are already confident that you can read these words or can switch a light on and off. So you don't need more confidence everywhere. To get what you want in life you have to establish exactly what you do want. Where do you want confidence in your life? Think about the specific situations now and write them down. You beginning to steer your brain towards confidence.

How to remember your dreams at night

A great time to program your subconscious mind is just before you go to sleep at night. At this time your brainwaves slow to alpha and theta, and this helps to bypass your conscious mind.
For instance, in my full research I discovered a way that people could find their purpose in life just by programming their subconscious mind just before they went to sleep...
...and even a way for people to program your subconscious mind to remember their dreams and even generate the dreams they wish...

This sounds difficult, doesn't it?
But in reality, it is a lot easier than you might think.
The simple trick is to convince your subconscious mind that it is to perform this task for you.
And how is this achieved? The easiest way is to give your subconscious precise instructions while you are in a "dream state" just before you go to sleep at night.
And the most effective way to do this is to go to bed an hour or so earlier than usual so that you are still fresh enough to effectively do this "programming" without drifting off from over-tiredness.
You simply instruct your subconscious as follows:

How Talking To Your Body Can Help You Heal

Every part of your body has its own consciousness or its own soul.”

The healing capacity of the human body

Can our body hear us? Can we talk to it to gain its cooperation in healing any condition?

Of course!  We are one complete system and capable of connecting to the deepest regions in our experience.

Dr. Bruce Lipton discovered the interaction between mind and body and the processes by which our cells receive information.

His book, Biology of Belief,  shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology, that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic emanating from our thoughts.

Unleashing the power of consciousness

During your evening meditation, and having reached a deep calm,… inwardly engage your body in a heartfelt conversation, with hope, … but having no idea what to expect.

After about one hour of this focused communication, you can expect something amazing to happen.

You should begin to feel your tissues respond, pull and stretch… responding to your intentions.  You may even feel electric like jolts through your body as your cells, nerves, muscles, and systems respond to your conscious interaction.

Regular meditation practice is necessary to train the brain to enter alpha and theta brain wave states.

While in these states, communication between the conscious mind and the physical body is dramatically enhanced.

There are three key steps to gaining the cooperation of the body:

• Approach your body with genuine compassion, understanding that it is made up of conscious cells who experience emotions.
• Build trust by engaging your body in positive mental conversations about your desire for the two of you to cooperate and overcome the ailment.
• Allow changes in the conversation by using different thoughts and words that elicit spontaneously elevated emotions.

The above guidelines are necessary to achieve dynamic healing responses in the body.

We experience through emotion

 Researcher, Cleve Backster, spent 36 years studying biocommunication in plant, animal and human cells.

Backster, formerly an interrogation specialist for the CIA, wrote about the defining moment when his research unfolded a wildly intriguing and new idea about how powerful our inner thoughts can be!

This moment occurred one February morning in 1966 when he decided to monitor the Dracaena Fragrans plant in his lab utilizing polygraph equipment. He attached the electrodes to a leaf and began to think about ways that he might induce a surge in electrical activity in the plant.

He suddenly imagined burning the electroded leaf. The same instant this idea entered his mind, the polygraph pen shot to the top of the chart showing an extreme reaction on the part of the plant.

Emotions are the result of our imagination… and run fast as thoughts along our endocrine system… which is full of hormones produced in our brains as a result.

It is this hormone rich world of our endocrine system that activates during meditative theta wave consciousness.

Imagination is manifestation

If we allow our consciousness to imagine from within this meditative theta state … a powerful surge of energy will manifest from our body.

This scientific phenomenon and the research of Cleve Backster point to the Eastern concept of oneness.

Ancient cultures understood we exist in a living universal energy field that sustains life while guiding the evolution of consciousness throughout the universe.

Energy from this field can be focused into a physical healing event through clear intention, spontaneous emotions and physical response to the conscious mind.

This enables one to experience the raw creative healing ability generated by an alliance of the mind and body with this living universal energy field.

Meditation Steps to Enhance and Refine Your Practice

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced meditator, be sure to get the most out of your meditation using the following meditation steps that will enhance your self-awareness, expand your consciousness and help you achieve your meditation goals.

Meditation Steps to Enhance and Refine Your Practice

Use specific meditation steps to enhance your practice

1. Relax

Many experienced meditators are able to enter their meditation already in a relaxed physical and mental state. Some may still need a few minutes to get into this frame of mind once they have taken their meditative position. Dropping into a relaxed meditative state is easier and will require less of your concentration and mental focus if you use Omharmonics; after some time, even if you find yourself doing a meditation without brainwave entrainment, you will be able to quickly get into meditation.

Step one, then, is to enter meditation already relaxed. It’s going to be an uphill battle of you versus your mind if you are stressed or preoccupied! Suggestions for relaxing before meditation: taking a walk, doing some yoga or having some herbal tea.

The Many Surprising Benefits of Meditation

Meditation is the single most important self-development and wellness practice known to mankind. Its benefits encompass your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects. There is really not a single area of life that cannot be improved with a daily meditation practice!

The #1 Benefit of Meditation

The #1 benefit is stress reduction.Stress manifests in the body as high blood pressure, muscle tension, high cortisol levels (which lead to weight gain), headaches, indigestion, heart palpitations, reproductive problems including PMS, ED and infertility, poor skin tone, acne, rapid aging and more.

The deep level of physical relaxation brought about by meditation stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system. This means the body goes into ‘rest and digest’ mode. Tissue repair and regeneration can only happen when the body is in a relaxed state.

When you’re under stress, the sympathetic nervous system continually dumps stress hormones into the system. This is necessary short-term (as in the face of danger) but long-term, if there is no relief from stress, you will experience potentially dangerous repercussions. It’s pointless to treat the symptoms of stress without addressing the cause (despite what the pharmaceutical companies would have you believe). The only way to permanently get rid of excess stress is to meditate. Exercise is a great stress-buster too, but does not create the right mindset.

What does mindset have to do with stress? Everything! Stress is a choice – meaning, when you have mastery over your mind, YOU CHOOSE your emotional response to a situation. You choose whether to be upset, or let it go.

Physical Benefits of Meditation

omharmonics

Omharmonics promises to “revolutionize” the process of meditation, thereby making its benefits accessible to everyone. Omharmonics claims to use “proprietary technologies” that can instantly lift the listener’s brain to the alpha level, the level aimed toward during meditation practice. Although the site never clearly explains these technologies, it alleges they are not available anywhere else.

Many centuries ago, Indian civilization recognized the power of sound and ultimately created the poetic language of Sanskrit. The language actually triggers energetic pathways in the body, thereby creating states of relaxation, deep meditation, and joyful bliss. All universal sounds are contained in the word “Om,” and some Yogis assert that if one pronounces the syllable perfectly, s/he immediately experiences a blissful union with Universal Consciousness.

Omharmonics proposes that its superior technological advances enabled the product’s creators to record that sound and by simply listening to it on a CD, the participant’s mental state transforms to a near instant “monk-like” state of mind. Having practiced meditation since 1988, how I wish this were so! Unfortunately, I have many doubts.

I listened to the free CD on the omharmonics website, hoping to enter into a deep meditative state of quiet and relaxed contemplation—this was not my experience, however. I listened to the music for the full 15 minutes, not noticing much difference than when I ordinarily meditate, other than finding the music pleasant to focus upon. The music slightly resembled a chakra balancing CD developed by Caroline Myss a few years ago—I used Myss’ CD while teaching Yoga classes.

Train Your Brain & Change Your Life

Forget everything you learned in school about the brain. New science says you can change your brain throughout your entire life.

This is called neuroplasticity, which is the capacity of the brain to change with learning… very focused learning.

And whether you’re 25 or 80, your brain can be transformed.

As a Cognitive Behavior Therapist, I speak a lot about limiting beliefs and mindset. So, when I started researching brain-based therapy and learned that your mind and brain are one, I was intrigued and fascinated.

This changed everything for me because when I explain the power of positive thinking to my clients, many times they need a “guarantee.” As we all know, there is no guarantee. However, now I can share a new theory: thoughts carve neural pathways in the brain.

When you think a negative thought over and over, you are literally carving a pathway in the brain that keeps you believing the thought is true.

When you decide to think something new or change a behavior, you start carving a new pathway and over time this new pathway replaces the old one. Finally, science and self-help come together.

Neuroscientist Carla Shatz summarized that “neurons that fire together wire together.” This provides great hope that by altering experience, you can alter neuronal structure.

12 Chakra Mantras To Unblock Energy

Sound is vibration. What you may not be aware of is that each of your chakras has a specific vibration as well – and you can use mantras that are known to be in vibrational harmony with each chakra, with the purposes of opening and harmonizing the system.

Using chakra mantras during meditation can have a very powerful effect. Imagine a chakra as an instrument, and the mantra as a tuning fork – strike the tuning fork, and the instrument will come into vibrational resonance with it, clearing out any energies that do not share the same resonance.

5 Seed Mantras

Let’s begin with basic mantras called bija mantras, or seed mantras, that havebeen universally used in meditative practice to harmonize one’s energy.

• OM:  The most well known and universal of the bija mantras it is the sound of creation and causes energy to gather and flow upward and outward. OM is the mantra of acceptance and assent. It helps you to accept your higher self and allow energy to flow openly and freely through you. It also serves as a gathering mantra, gathering your inward energy and preparing your energy for movement.
• KRIM (pronunciation “kreem”):  Chanting this mantra stimulates your lower chakras to awaken and begin purifying your body.
• SHRIM (pronunciation “shreem”):  Its associations lie with the head and third eye. It promotes bodily and spiritual health but can also be used to bring beauty and happiness to one’s senses.
• HRIM (pronunciation “hreem”):  This holds powers of healing and creativity.Chanting this mantra awakens compassion and purifies the heart.
• HUM (pronunciation “hoom”):  This evokes the breakdown of negative feelings and spreads positivity and vitality through the body.

Read the list and choose the mantra(s) that you intuitively feel you need. Don’t worry about using all of them – you may be very ‘energetically healthy’ in some respects and not so much in others. Just pick the one(s) that resonate with your needs (you can ask yourself, “is this sound beneficial to me?”) and use it to begin your meditation.

This literally ‘sets the tone’ for your meditation; then, you can incorporate the healing energies of the cleansing mantras below. Each of the  cleansing mantras correspond to one of the 7 chakras in your body.

7 Cleansing Mantras

• LAM: The cleansing mantra chanted for your Root Chakra, which keeps us grounded and linked to the earth. Chanting this mantra will cleanse impurities that can collect in the root chakra – literally opening you up to feelings of security, prosperity and belonging – and clearing any blocked energy that is being prevented from moving through to the other six main energy centers. Chant “LAM” if your energy is low, you struggle financially, you suffer from low self-esteem and you suffer from adrenal fatigue and other stress-related ailments.
• VAM:  The cleansing mantra for your Sacral Chakra, which is associated with sexuality, pleasure and creativity. Opening this chakra will open you up to others, give you the courage to express yourself and to embrace change. Chant “VAM” is you have poor self-image, find it hard to open up in relationships, feel unsatisfied sexually and suffer from low libido.
• RAM:  This opens your Solar Plexus Chakra, the seat of your personal power. Chanting “RAM” will increase your ability to stand up for yourself, control negative impulses, and exercise greater self-control. Your self-esteem will increase as you chant “RAM” and you will become more confident and self-assured – and your frequent stomach anxiety and pains will subside!
• YAM:  The cleansing mantra for your Heart Chakra. You give and receive love through the energy center that is your heart chakra. If you’re not feeling loving, lovable, compassionate or experience relationship difficulties, you could use some YAM! Chant “YAM” to heal both the physical heart and the spiritual (emotional) heart center and open yourself up to unconditional love and compassion.
• HAM:  The mantra to unblock your Throat Chakra. This is your physical and spiritual voice, your means of communicating who you are and what you need and want from yourself and the universe. The throat chakra governs your ability to express yourself – if it’s closed, you will find yourself frequently frustrated as you cannot voice your needs and desires (closing yourself off to opportunities and having your needs met); and a closed throat chakra makes honesty and integrity difficult traits to embody. The vibrations from “RAM” will open your throat chakra so that your communication energy can flow strongly.
• AUM (or OM):  This opens your Third Eye Chakra. This is the center of your forehead and is directly in line with the center of your brain. While OM is one of the most common mantras and can be used for a wide variety of mantra meditations, it is particularly important to the cleansing and healing of your third eye chakra.The third eye chakra (or brow chakra) is the seat of intuition and life purpose. Chanting “OM” will break loose the constraints that you have imposed upon yourself by not allowing yourself to listen to your inner wisdom and using that wisdom to chart the best course for a life of purpose and passion.
• OM or AH: The mantras for your Crown Chakra, the connection to the divine. A closed crown chakra brings about feelings of insignificance and pointlessness, leading to a disconnect from spirit and an overly strong attachment to possessions, relationships and the physical world. Some find that silence is a more effective practice for opening the crown chakra but OM may be used to open it as well. Chanting AH represents a release. Think about taking a deep breath, then letting it go. AH is the sound of releasing and letting go.

Chakra mantras help you to clear your energy pathways so you can thrive, not just survive; this allows you to make the most of your physical life experience, creating positive physical, emotional, mental and spiritual change.

Meditating For Love

As human beings, we all want love. We often say that we need food,
shelter and clothing to survive, but love is also a necessity. Human
beings are social animals and can become depressed if they are left
alone.

Remember the film “Castaway” starring Tom Hanks? He puts a
face on a ball and names it so that he can have “company” as he is
shipwrecked on a deserted island. He does this in order to keep from
falling apart. As a human being, he needs companionship. There are
very few people who are comfortable being lonely.

If you want love, the only thing you need to do is ask for it. It is
plentiful in the universe. You need to be able to open up your heart so
that you can receive love, however.

This is easier said than done. Most of us have closed our hearts,
especially when we are adults. We have been hurt once too often and
are afraid of getting hurt again. So we shut down our hearts and reject
any chance of allowing love into our lives.

Visualization in Mediation for Self Development

We all have dreams. Dreams are something we either hallucinate or develop ideas that
lead us through visualizations. We draw mental pictures from visualizations that help us
to use images to pull strengths from our insights.

Visualization works hand in hand with meditation. This is because meditation allows us
to use images also to develop new ideas. As we continue to progress, we start to remove
any irritants that may hold us back from success.

How to start meditating:
Visualization skills are a great area to focus on when you intend to learn and practice
mediation. Before you can start to relax, visualize and meditate, however you need
placidity. Find a calm natural surrounding. You want to find an area where your body
and mind will not respond to excitement. Remove any disturbances, or anything that
appears as if it will hinder you from meditating.

Taking Back your Control in Meditation for Self Development

When you have control of your abilities, you can successfully take control of your life.
If we do not have control, when your ship rolls in you will be out in the middle of the
sea trying to swim your way out. When you allow the negative thoughts that appear
subconsciously take over causing a lot of health and mental problems, your control is
out of your hands.

Take control by meditating to improve your self-development skills. Learn to think

positive. This will put you in control of your life. You will feel good about you. To take
control however, you must meditate by digging deep inside your mind and asking you
questions.

Find your inner self by meditating to draw from your inner strengths. When we lose
control, it takes over our lives. We become stress; tense, depressed, and physiological
symptoms emerge, such as stomach pain, headaches, and restless sleep. The pressure
causes use to lose control, which we cannot make good decisions. Start making good
decision on taking control of how we feel by mediating.

3 Meditation Tips for Busy People

Are you intrigued by meditation but feel that you don’t have 30 or more minutes a day to
dedicate to a formal meditation practice? If it seems like you’ll never find the time to meditate, then this post is for you!

What Type of Meditation

If you’re going to start a meditation practice, then you first have to chose which type you want to focus on.

I’m not going to discuss all the different types in this post because I found a post on another blog that covers the various types of meditation in depth.

Click here if you want to read about 23 different types of meditation.

By the way, most meditation experts suggest picking one type and sticking with it for a while. Of course, if you’re just starting out, you may want to experiment a bit to find one that resonates with you.

The Benefits of Meditation

My Review of Nitrofocus:

"Get More Done in Less Time... With an MP3?"

Sharper focus. Enhanced concentration. Greater productivity. Getting into "The Zone." More

motivation.

In the 2011 film 'Limitless', Bradley Cooper simply popped a tiny pill, and suddenly the whole of his brain power activated. All of those traits suddenly flickered into play.

He was able to blast through work, quickly and intelligently. He could study more and better than ever before. He finished chores at lightening speed. He could come up with ideas and predictions at the speed of thought.

'Limitless' was a great film -- and a brilliant fantasy for the rest of us.

But, what if all those benefits were actually available -- right now?

And not using pills, but by using a simple little 'brain hack' that involves nothing more than an MP3 file?

That's the claim of a new program called Nitrofocus. Intrigued, I decided to try it out for myself.

The Power of Brainwave Science

The Truth Behind Brainwave CDs

Everybody in the world of self-development agrees on one simple thing:

Meditation is good!

The benefits are truly enormous: less stress, greater relaxation levels, improved mind power, more energy, a stronger immune system, self-enlightenment, less required sleep, and more.

But how many of us REALLY stick to a strict meditation schedule? And remember, you're talking HOURS each day if you want the greatest benefits.

Let's be honest: in the modern world, people just don't have TIME.

Until now, that is.

We've all heard about brainwave meditation CDs before. Holosync is perhaps the best known example.

Long story short, brainwave meditation CDs basically contain specially-created sounds. When listened to with headphones, these sounds help to influence your brainwaves -- a process known as "brainwave entrainment." These sounds basically take your brainwaves down to a low frequency state -- similar to that achieved after years of meditation practice.

By listening to these CDs each day, you can quickly begin enjoying the many great benefits of meditation -- yet without the need for endless years of strict practice.

Meditation for cheats? Pah -- I hope so!

The problem, however, is that most brainwave meditation CDs simply don't work.

I've tried Holosync, Optimindzation, Hemi-Sync, and many others. Yes, the science behind the technology is infallible. However, each of these uses boring-sounding audio recordings, and require at least one hour listening a day. Many, especially Holosync, also cost thousands to complete the course, and require many years of practice. Technically, they also only employ one mode of brainwave entrainment -- a fatal error in the world of brainwave technology.

But among the rubble, there's one diamond that - at least for me -- stands out above the crowd.

It's called the Brain Evolution System -- or "BrainEv" -- and it's been causing waves in the industry since it's launch back in 2006.

It brings about all the benefits of true meditation -- less stress, greater relaxation, increased brain power, sharper thinking, emotional mastery, a boost in energy, heightened creativity, even improved interpersonal relationships. And it does it without the shortcomings of its competitors.

BrainEv is a 6-CD system that contains arguably the most beautiful audio recordings the self-development world has ever heard. It only requires 30 minutes of listening each day, which you can do as you fall asleep, or by waking up 30 minutes earlier than normal -- meaning it doesn't impact on your hectic schedule. You also only need to listen 6 times a week. The entire program also costs just a fraction of its competitors.
