It's always best to be kind to yourself. Here's an analogy of how you would expand the comfort zone (subconscious mind) of a 3 year old who didn't want to learn to swim. How do you teach the 3 year old to swim? First of all, all your talk is encouraging and supportive.

One thing not to say is "I don't smoke", because to your subconscious mind, that means "I smoke - give me a cigarette". What you could picture is a scene of you having a cigarette but feeling ill and vomiting because the cigarette tastes awful.

Is there any new information under the sun? The human race places its own limitations on belief - we want everything to be proven to us scientifically. Recently (in the last 30 years) an enormous amount of research has been accomplished in the field of learning and particularly the brain, which researchers, scientists and psychologists have been able to label with new words - the "new" discoveries. This makes it more acceptable to us. Has accelerated learning, (ie. the ability to achie...

I've wanted to write this for quite some time because many people have said to me that they could never forgive. My response has always been that that's OK. I might add that when people have heard that I have forgiven, I have, amongst many positive reactions, also received a few negatives ... ones like "I am betraying my daughters", and "Why would I make the perpetrator feel OK?", and "It's sending a message of condoning of the murders" and "Only God can forg...

Relationships are a huge issue in our lives - and throughout our life - relationships with our self and relationships with others. I have written in previous E-Reports about loving yourself, about sending your love and light, about forgiveness and about life's lessons ... all of these are key points in their application to relationships. To have successful relationships know that they begin with yourself. Know that nobody can convince you that you are special or you are loveable unless firstly y...

People who are immersed in a creative process ' whether it be writing poetry, painting a picture, preparing a cordon-bleu meal, composing music, creating a garden, working out mathematical formulae, planning a holiday itinerary, writing up a scientific experiment, creating a computer program or choreographing a dance ' exist in their own special dimension during their period of creativity. We often hear of people isolating themselves for example in a mountain retreat or a beach shack to writ...

Things happen and you give them a title - good/bad, sad/happy, boring/exciting, safe/dangerous, embarrassing/proud, etc... Then you file the event in your memory's "library" under the title you just gave it. If you ever remember the event again, you will always think of it as having the same "title" you first gave it. One day at school, when I was about 8 years old, the teacher asked me to draw an elephant on the blackboard at the front of the class. I heard muffled laug...

My personal experience of inner peace and harmony was to first work through, during active meditation, acceptance and cooperation. In other words acceptance of every single thing that I had done in my life, or that anyone had done against me, or with me, or to me. To accept and cooperate with it. There's not much sense in not cooperating, because it's happened, so that's it. The next process for me was to find out about unconditional love of self and others, about totally loving, no matter who i...

I have often been asked how to overcome a habit of procrastination. My answer has been to set a goal on whatever you have been procrastinating about "doing" and then follow the 8-Step CALM Process for achieving goals, doing this over and over again in your subconscious mind. At the last CHI Seminar several participants wanted more than that answer as they were having challenges regarding procrastination as an issue in their lives. Questions arose such as "Why do we have procr...

We can influence our children's learning from a very young age - even before they are born, with music and song. All years are important, however between the ages of 0 to 5 are critical. It's during these years that the reticular activating filter (a bunch of cells in the Limbic System) is permanently open and all information goes through to memory. So it is during these years - the formative years of the subconscious mind - that habits, personality, self image and memory - 88% of the mind - ...
