The Skinny On Subliminal Weight Loss

Subliminal weight loss is possible in this day and age. A lot of effort has been put into making sure that products which use the subconscious technology to lose weight are manufactured as well. A huge number of skinny people, who were once struggling with being overweight or obese, can now be found. Moreover, these are people who have used the subconscious mind to develop mechanisms and strategies through which to lose weight and stay fit. The messages developed here, are geared towards reprogramming the mind to the possibility of weight loss.

Subliminal weight loss is effective in the sense that it uses what people have in plenty to achieve these results, using the subconscious mind. Rather than encouraging people to look for resources with which to buy equipments or tools for weight loss, it simply takes advantage of the subconscious. This method ensures that people who find dieting or exercising to not be their cup of tea, now have an alternative. Excessive weight is responsible for a number of health problems. If there is one extra strategy through which to eliminate this problem from people's lives, that is better.

The messages used in subliminal weight loss programs are designed to help promote healthy lifestyles. One of these is to encourage any person embarking on this venture to love fruits. These messages are meant to help you decide on the need for developing proper and healthy eating habits. A person is encouraged to embrace fitness, vitality, in addition to inner contentment. These messages will address matters to do with your physiology as well. The message is designed to help you develop healthy behavior, which speeds up any weight loss.

The mind has the ability to internalize things which you may not be able to recall and thrust you in the path of being overweight. If you take the time, you may finally remember what drove you into this kind of life. Once you find out what it is that is responsible for thrusting you into such a life, subliminal weight loss messages can be used to reprogram your mind. As soon as your mind has been reprogrammed, it is easier to abandon certain aspects of your life, which cause you to be overweight. Get these messages, and listen to them if you are struggling with weight issues.

Subliminal weight loss programs are effective. They will set you off on the path towards embracing a better lifestyle. You will not need to struggle with a lifestyle that seems to take you towards weight gain than your body can handle. As a matter of fact, it's easier to walk in freedom if you find that you had embraced behaviors in the past which only made you struggle with being excessively stout. Once you find victory in this area, continue to listen to the messages and keep yourself in the right frame of mind which means you're never at threat of being obese ever again in your life. That is the essence of these subliminal weight-loss programs.

The Unexamined Life Is Examined With "The Work"

As I watched the entire "A New Earth Webinar" with Oprah and Eckhart Tolle, I often thought of the similarities between Tolle and Byron Katie. They were both clinically depressed before their parallel awakenings which changed both of them forever.

For most of us, if we are fortunate enough to have a spiritual experience, the effects may last several hours or several days at which time the effects recede and we return to normal everyday consciousness.

For both Eckhart and Katie, the effects of their awakening seemed to stay with them. Katie told Oprah, for instance, that she has never had a bad or depressed day, or even a moment of sadness in twenty-two years.

Tolle said the same thing in Oprah's webinar.

Katie explains that to the extent that any of us believe our thoughts, we suffer accordingly.

When we learn to question our thoughts, we experience immediate release and freedom.

She calls this level of questioning, "The Work."

If I love myself and love my experience and everyone in my life, these thoughts work for me, and do not need to be changed or questioned.

Katie said that love is the highest standard of a balanced mind.

But thoughts like, "He doesn't love me," or "I should lose weight," or "I am a bad person," or "You are a bad person," are thoughts that when held up to the light of Inquiry, simply lose their strength and meaning.

These are the four questions that Byron Katie uses for her process of Inquiry, to each thought that brings suffering:

1) Is it true?

2) Can I absolutely know without doubt that it is true?

3) How do I react when I think that thought?

4) Who would I be without the thought?

Then the thought is turned around.

Katie said that defense is the first act of war. When we ask these questions of our thoughts, a shift occurs, a liberation.

No longer am I concentrating on what other people think, what they are doing, or saying.

In other words, according to Katie, I am focused on minding my own business, not anyone else's business, not even God's business. Figuring out what is right for me is a full time job. Minding my own business takes tremendous focus and concentrate.

Katie said she did not suffer at the time of her mother's death. She dropped her schedule and stayed by her mother's side. As she was dying, Katie looked into her mother's eyes and saw her leave this plane of existence. She did not feel sad, she felt only love. She was fully present for her mother in those last moments, and she said she felt very grateful for the experience.

Oprah went through a mini-session with Byron Katie.

Oprah said she has always struggled with her weight. She had gotten her weight down to where she was comfortable, was exercising and maintaining her weight.

Then she was diagnosed with a thyroid condition and her doctor told her she may as well get used to always being heavy.

Oprah said she believed the doctor, stopped working out, and in retrospect, realized she gave her power over to the doctor when he said those words, "You will always be heavy," instead of defining what it is she wanted for herself and her body.

So Oprah's thought for Inquiry was: "I am sick and tired of always struggling with my weight."

Is this true? Yes.

Can you absolutely know without doubt that this is true? After some thought she said, Well not absolutely.

How do you react when you think the thought, "I am sick and tired of always struggling with my weight?"

Oprah said she was frustrated, always thinking about what she is going to eat, whether she should or shouldn't drink alcohol at a party, feeling obsessed about food.

She says she wants to be a size 10, not size 14.

Is it true that your body is too large? Yes.

Can you absolutely know that it is too large? No can't be absolutely sure because it is large (and that is the reality).

What happens when you believe the thought, "My body is too large?" Oprah said she felt frustration as she compared her body to other bodies, just was frustrated and is sick of it.

How do you react when you believe the thought "My body is too large?" I eat more and am at war with myself.

Who would you be without the thought, "My body is too large?" I go to my closet and put on comfortable cloths that fit and go about my day. I'll eat when I eat. Only one person can be Oprah right here, right now.

Apply this Inquiry to every stressful thought, on paper, to achieve real freedom. Sit with these questions in a state of contemplation. As soon as you argue with it you miss the beauty of the process.

The inner war that arises from resisting what is- is fought on paper, going thoughtfully and honestly through the four questions and the turn around.

My body is too large? What is the turn around?

My body is perfect just the size it is. It serves me. It is not who I really am, the changeless "I," the soul. But I love it exactly as it is.

Another difficult thing for most people is learning to say "No." When people in Oprah's family ask her for money, she may give it to them but doesn't really want to. Katie said there are two parts to saying "no."

I care about you. I see that you may be in trouble. And I have to say, "no."

No one can take advantage of you without your permission. You must take responsibility for your life. You must decide who you want to please: Please yourself and mind your own business.

There is a difference between a prisoner screaming in his cell and the Buddhist monk who, when placed behind the bars of incarceration says, "Thank you."

Our birth right is freedom. Love is the new paradigm.

Self-realization, if lived, is "The Work."

She believes all of us are healers, but few are willing to own their power. She also believes healing takes place all the time, whether we are conscious of it, or not.

Letting Go of the Past to Live in the Present

The sweat drips from my body onto the mat, already wet from 70 minutes of Hot Bikram Yoga. Yuk!! And now the teacher is imploring me and every other student in the session to 'let go' of the attachment we've made to the last posture. "Just let it go. It's over! Relax in savasana".

Savasana is a yoga position where you lie on your back on your mat completely still - still mind, still body. This in itself is really difficult - one wants to scratch, wipe the sweat away, and sense a muscle, the mind full of 'stuff'- random thoughts such as - "what's for supper?" "I must look at that... " "How's that presentation coming on?" "I wonder how my daughter is?"

But the greater temptation is to attach value and judgement to my efforts in the last posture! "Was it better than last time?" "Had I taken on board comments from the teacher and improved?" "Was I having a good/bad day?" "I wish I had made more effort at... ". So 'letting go' is the last thing I really want to do; I want to look back and indulge my emotions and not be in the present moment. Letting go of what has happened is such a difficult exercise. We hang on to thoughts, good and bad, as if our life depended on it. But once something is over, it's over - there is nothing you can do about it, it's over. You can understand the things you've learned from the experience and move on. Dwelling in a negative sense on something which is past has no merit. Understanding the importance of 'letting go'... and actually doing it... creates space and calm.

Many years ago I came across a poem attached to the wall of a café in Tasmania, a remote and sparsely populated island state in Australia. It was a list of such lovely exhortations with a positive spin, found in such a bizarre place, it begged to be copied and studied. There are many examples of 'letting go' that come to mind and those who read this column may begin to reflect on their own circumstances, their own experiences.

In the jobs we do, roles we undertake, companies we work for, we all make many and varied attachments. Since the 1990s, redundancy has sadly become a normal feature of the working environment; "Sorry, Simon, we're going to have to 'let you go'." After all the emotional turmoil these few words induce has eventually subsided, you understand that 'letting go' is not to deny, but to accept; accept that the decision's been made, look forward and hopefully you begin to feel free - but the key to that freedom is realistically looking at the attachments you made to that role, that job, that company, and letting them go, permanently.

As humans we are naturally driven towards establishing relationships; relationships wax and wane as sure as the phases of the moon. Sometimes ending a relationship is really really tough. And to 'let go' of the relationship requires one not to judge, but to allow the other to be a human being, to allow them to affect their destinies, to face reality. Easy to say, not easy to do; it hurts, letting go, but once you do a great sense of relief floods the body and mind.

I wanted Tom my Labrador dog to live forever!! He was so lovely, so gorgeous, but as he grew older and older I had to face the reality that life is finite, and in his case I would probably have to decide for him that his pain-free, carefree existence was over. Letting go of the negative memories of making that final decision and agonising over whether it was the right one (the "If only... "!) have allowed me to be thankful for the life that he had and the love that he gave.

We so often dwell in the past, where are memories are stored, and forget to try and live in the present, like in the savasana position in yoga. And there's a tendency to sometimes regret decisions we've made, paths we've taken, - "If only I had... ". Free yourself by 'letting go' and not regretting the past, but to grow and live for the future.

I recently 'down sized' to an apartment which has little storage space. I knew I had to 'let go' of things. In this case not take them to some half-way stage, a self-storage unit, a sort of 'left luggage', but to sell them, give them away, take them to the council tip. How hard was it? In reality, not too bad; if I hadn't used something for 5 years, it went. Furniture that didn't fit or was wrong for the place got sold, given away, painted. Books I had bought but never read, some I had read and were never going to read again, went to the Charity shop. Clothes went to same way. And gradually light and air is beginning to circulate within the enlarged space.

There are few more important guiding principles to the way we approach our lives than taking on board the exhortations of 'letting go'. As my daily yoga practice encourages me to 'let go' of those attachments I've made to a past posture and still the mind, outside of the studio those words found on the wall of the faraway café can bring a positive affect to anyone who cares to read them. Of course 'take each day as it comes, and cherish oneself in it.' and 'try to become what I dream I can be.' But above all try to stop being fearful, be "fear less", learn to truly relax "and love more."

Talking about relevant issues can help to let them go. Engaging a coach to assist can be a great step forward. Email at richard@richardyatesconsulting.com for more information.

Learn the Tricks Women May Use to Keep You Away!

The response that a man may get from a woman may be very surprising and unbelievable. I never knew that women could say anything to keep a man off. They are even willing to say anything shameful you may think of about themselves to ensure that a man does not initiate any chats with them. The words a woman may use to describe herself may only be meant to make you uninterested with her and they may not be true. I came to know this the other day, when I went with my friend for a night out.

Below is a summary of what we experienced during the session.

While with my friend, we noticed a group of three, hot girls who were also hanging out and we decided to initiate some chats with them. We exchanged the basic information about ourselves and while still introducing themselves, two of the girls confessed that they were lesbian partners. ''lesbians' I asked myself, I had never imagined that I would meet a lesbian in my life, leave alone dating one. I lost interest in the discussion. It is true that the girls were beautiful but on mentioning that they they were lesbians, the feelings, interests and even thoughts that I had developed in them were driven away from me. My friend seemed not to believe them and I was surprised. I even demanded that we leave them immediately but he still continued to get busy with them.

The day we met the girls brought some teachings in my life. I came to learn that the women we see might not be thinking what we expect them to think of. I managed to learn this after having a discussion with my friend. The reason why my friend continued talking with them was that he knew that the girls were not necessarily lesbians but they were only trying to discourage us. They only chose to mention that shameful thing with the hope of driving us away. Such responses from women are common especially in clubs and men should be prepared to handle them. Otherwise, as a man you will end up saying I have not found a woman.

What to do if you receive such responses from women?

First, you have to acknowledge the reply you get. Tell the girl that you like her confidence and openness. You should show an appreciation of her openness. By doing that, you will be setting the base for the discussion and therefore at that point, the girl will start to open up since she has noticed that you have some interest in her. It is important to know that all women are similar and they tend to respond to similar situations in almost similar ways. For example, how many women have told you that they have boyfriends when you try to seduce them? It could be true that they have boyfriends but even those who do not have will use the same excuse. The trick here is that you should persevere and try as much as you can to progress the discussion.

By the way, do you want the simple secret for approaching any woman, anywhere and know exactly what to say to get her number?

Learning To Love Yourself

Making the decision to love yourself is a tough but important one to make. It is only at the point that somebody chooses to love herself that she can move forward happily with her life.

One of the first steps on the way to self-love is to think about all the things that make a person great. People can nurture themselves by thinking of things they enjoy about themselves. They should also understand how important it is to become their own best friend and to genuinely enjoy their own company. Making mistakes is an important part of self-acceptance.

On the journey to finding self-love, every little step counts. Staying motivated can help somebody by allowing her to acknowledge even her smallest accomplishments. These small accomplishments add up, and soon there is undeniable progress and effort. It is hard to build up this sense of self-trust, but it is vital.

Learning to love yourself also requires one to stop worrying about the past and forgive any minor blips that have already occurred. Forgiveness and letting bygones be bygones are important factors involved in self-acceptance. There is no use crying about things that nobody can go back in time to change. Working toward a brighter future is the key. If somebody focuses her efforts on making do with what is actually possible, relaxation and love are easier to come by.

Learning to share gratitude and kindness with others helps to create love in two ways. Not only will others learn to love the person who initially shared with them, but the sharer will also feel better about it. Participating in random acts of kindness is also a big confidence booster, as it helps to build a strong sense of value for oneself.

Taking care of the body is essential to living a long, happy and healthy life. It is more important for somebody to look the way she wants to look than to adhere to another person's standard of beauty. Health is not as objective as many people like to think, so it is a good idea to consider making doctor, dentist and psychologist appointments if it is necessary.

Mental health is just as important as physical health when it comes to finding self-love. While seeing a counselor or therapist is the best way to seek professional guidance, it is also a good idea to begin journaling. Keeping a daily log of thoughts and activities is a great way to build insight and keep track of memories for years to come.

If one is able to see beauty where others do not, or to acknowledge that every single thing has some beauty to it, she is one step closer to finding self-love. Becoming happy with what one can actually receive and not worrying about material possessions is essential to finding a sense of happiness and self-worth.

The road to loving yourself is not as difficult as it may seem. Those who take action by being selfless, insightful and self-aware are more likely to achieve their goals than those who stay oblivious. Understanding the road to self-love and self-respect are the key components on this journey.

Are you a woman and you want to learn how to gain confidence and love yourself more? You don't have to be alone on this journey. Our programs will teach you how to grow your self confidence as you learn from women who are experts at different aspects of living a successful life joyfully. Join our community where you can learn about women loving yourself.

Letting Go: What Does Letting Go Mean To You?

When it comes to living life in the present moment and being free from attachments to the past and to specific outcomes in the future; letting go is often spoken about as the ideal. And through letting go, one can then allow life to flow. Also, as a result of this, a lot of the stress that can accumulate by holding on will disappear.

However, while this sounds like a wonderful idea and one that is extremely appealing; it is often far from what feels comfortable and natural. In fact, to do this can feel uncomfortable and something that has the potential to be extremely dangerous.

So although letting go can make life a lot easier, more effortless and allow even better things to happen than one would have expected; It might seem strange that letting go is not the naturally approach to life.

Personal Meaning

The meaning of letting go can sound very good through reading about it in a book, in an article or through a teacher and at a conscious level. But, this is not to say that it is associated to be positive at an unconscious level.

And this is the meaning that makes the difference in one's life; the personal meaning. Other people can describe it as the ideal and as what one should aspire to. And yet, this is unlikely to make any difference if it is in conflict with what's going on at a deeper level.

A Deeper Level

Here, the ego mind forms associations around everything and once these have been formed; they will define what is classed as familiar and therefore safe. These are often formed during ones childhood and through certain experiences that one has as an adult.

Now, at the time, these would have been what allowed one to feel safe. The challenges are created when what kept one safe at one point in their life; go on to create unnecessary pain and suffering.

Examples

So let's take a look at some common emotional experiences that can occur when one thinks about letting go. The ideal meaning of letting go is to feel supported, safe and that one can trust in the whole process. However, letting go can also mean the following:

· That one will be taken advantage of
· That one will have no power
· That one will be abandoned
· That one will lose all control
· That one will be forgotten about
· That one will be ignored
· That one will end up being controlled
· That one will end up alone
· That one will lose everything
· That one will lose themselves

These are some examples of what letting go can trigger for people. And upon seeing what some of these are; it is then not much of a surprise as to why letting go can be such a challenge.

Perception

For as long as the ego mind associates letting go to mean any of the above or to mean anything else for that matter; one will continue to avoid letting or they will have a hard time doing it.

Internally these associations will be fired of and lead to uncomfortable sensations, emotions and words for instance. And externally this can result in one attracting situations that will mirror and validate these associations.

Letting Go

And before one feels comfortable letting go, it may be necessary for one to let go of what has accumulated within. If these associations are operating within, one is going to find it difficult to trust in the process.

The best way to do this will depend on many different things. And one of those is how challenging this is for someone. It could be that some kind of therapy, coaching or healing is needed. Or it may be enough for one to simply become aware of what letting go means to them and then choosing another way to be.

My name is Oliver J R Cooper and I have been on a journey of self awareness for over nine years and for many years prior to that I had a natural curiosity.

Tips To Consider When Choosing a Charity

Our world is in crisis and therefore, many excellent causes have been unveiled to combat the misfortunes. Charitable giving is recommended highly by every organization on earth. However, it can be challenging to choose which charitable organization to donate to. You may be wondering whether it is right to support an environmental group that has just come knocking or the children's home that has sent you heart wrenching pictures of orphans. The tips to consider when choosing a charity include:

· Give to a charity you know

According to expert advice, it is important to give to a group that you know. Avoid giving your hard-earned money to strangers. As long as you know the charity and the work that they are involved in, you will have a high degree of confidence that your donation will be channeled to good use.

· Make sure the organization is the one that you think it is

The organization that you choose may be doing nothing for the local community. The charity that says it supports wishes for destitute children could have adopted a name that is similar to a well-respected organization. Therefore, it is important not to assume you know the charitable organization and what it does.

· Make sure the charitable organization is legitimate

In verifying the legitimacy of the charity, you may consider the list that is provided by the tax man. Find out whether the organization is registered as a charity. You can also consider checking with the charities bureau that is responsible for policing charitable organizations within the state. They are an important resource that offers a wealth of information pertaining to charities.

· Find out whether the gift is tax deductible

Some of the nonprofit organizations that seek to solicit gifts from the public are not charities. Therefore, you will not be able to deduct your contribution at tax time.

· Understand the organization's work

Different charities handle life challenges in different ways. For instance, charities that seek to lower the number of teen pregnancies can do so by advancing sexual abstinence, supporting programs that build self-esteem among teenage girls or teaching sex education. Therefore, you may need to support a group that addresses a cause using a methodology that addresses your needs.

· Ask questions

Charitable organizations need to provide information pertaining to their programs as well as expenses. Find out by asking how your giving will be spent. Also find out how many people were assisted over the past year and in what way they were assisted. If you are not satisfied with the answers do not give.

We provide the best info about shop for a cause. For further details on this topic, click here!

One way of doing this is through mind teasing that enhances brain activity. As generations develop, people are getting more interested in keeping mental abilities top notch by keeping the minds busy.

Brain teaser or mind teaser activities are mostly used to stimulate the brain to either affirm the already established networks, or establishing new ones. The only way to update old pathways or create new ones is to do an older thing or a new thing in a new way. For instance, one can play a game that he/she has not played before. For example, for one who is an expert in playing cards, it is to try out filling puzzles. The following are three mind teaser games that one can try out:

Things I Have Learned

I have learned:

1. I am not the titles I wear.

2. Being retrenched could be my rebirth.

3. That nothing is perfect.

4. That I have more strength than I imagined.

I am not the titles I wear. To outsiders I am a wife, mother, sister, best friend and Operations Manager, but at one point the responsibility that comes along with these roles took over my life. I had no idea what I was really feeling besides overwhelmed. I have now learned that I need to take care of myself in order to care for everyone else.

Being retrenched could be my rebirth. I did not make the decision to end my employment but I have come to realize that it was one the best things that has ever happened to me. In hindsight, I discovered 10 years of an emotionally stressful job had changed me, and not for the better. So I embraced the opportunity to learn about myself and dove into watching my son grow. That I can reinvent myself at any age.

That nothing is perfect, not even myself, and that's something to celebrate. I used to think that if I followed the rules and stayed silent, my life would run in a straight line, It doesn't work this way. I have had to face detours, and dirt roads, and to my surprise, those moments have bought out the best in me.

That I have more strength than I imagined. My dad was diagnosed with Cancer - Carcinoma of the Cheek, soon after my son was born, after that my mom had a stroke, soon after our 34 years family home burnt to the ground and I got retrenched. I was devastated but now, 5 months later, we are living our new normal; battling cancer, raising a wonderful child, a recovered mom physically and maintaining a loving marriage. In my quiet moments, I feel astounded that we have found the inner resources to survive.

Now I take limitations in stride and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size. Nelson Mandela said, "I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one finds many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come but I rest only for a moment for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended.
