Things You Never Knew Existed

[wolfgang]

interesting stuff you keep finding, nightdiamond!

I had light goggles with a brain machine box. used to trip out using those.

interesting that clicking the amygdala stuff, I ran into a while ago, but never sat down to try it. When I ran into it in that past I read up on post traumatic stress syndrome related to the amygdala. apparently PTSD is a case where the amygdala is mostly stuck in the non-frontal lobe mode (flight or fight) because of the individual being in an environment that continually made the brain have to be in that state to survive.

Here's some wacky stuff, not "things" but like remote healing(?) I didn't buy into it but got tempted by the possibility that there's something to it. google "spiritual response therapy" to see more link this.

hey you just described my workplace. Seriously somehow I have attracted a few experiences that have given me more or less PTSD, which I must stop doing. Crazy job and for a while a crazy woman too.

Hi wolfgang, Although I haven't used one yet, I've always been curious about the light and sound machines too..... For one, you can connect a cd player to them and play your favorite music while the lights in the goggles pulsate to the beats... the other reason it is said you can enter a deep state of meditation or trance with these..... it's compact and you can take them almost anywhere and just block everything out.....

That is similar to what Neil is saying and assuming this concept is true, the part about the amygdala and PTSD makes sense.... here's how he represents it;




And this way;




There is a little skepticsm, and a point is made;

When University of Toronto psychologist Adam Anderson heard about the exercises, he laughed. The assistant professor is also the Canada Research Chair in cognitive neuroscience, and his research focuses on what the amygdalae contribute to human emotion. Anderson believes they are one of the elements of our feelings, but human emotions result from a delicate balance of the functions of different brain parts.

"I'm not saying it can't work, but it's a really silly idea that you actually have to picture your amygdala," he says. "You could teach people to visualize their left elbows and it might be just as effective.

"It's a form of relaxation and, if it works, more power to the people who do it. But as a scientist, I see it as maybe a form of meditation or a distraction from what's bothering you."

Slade thinks there is more to it than that. He believes visualizing the amygdalae can create physiological changes in the brain.

I understand Mr. Anderson's view, but to be fair to Neil, on the other hand, when we imagine tasting a lemon, what response do we get and where?

We usually salavate, and in the mouth area.... We imagine something in the mouth area and get a physical response in that same area.....



Neil is claiming that by reversing this flow you can experience calm, peace and tranquility.... here is some support and advice from Janice Dorn, a psychiatrist and brain anatomist;

Janice Dorn, a psychiatrist and brain anatomist who has studied the brain for 41 years, believes Slade's exercises stimulate the connections between the primitive, or limbic part of the brain and the more evolved prefrontal cortex in order to develop habits of happier thought and feeling.

Many people could learn to be happy by regularly repeating thought and visualization practices, Dorn says in a telephone interview from her office in Phoenix, Ariz.

It's a matter of reprogramming your brain to have a tendency towards happiness instead of emotional pain, and most people can learn to do it.


........... "Look for a way to turn any part of it into a positive experience: that's how the prefrontal cortex operates," Dorn says. "The amygdala is always talking to the prefrontal cortex. So tell it about joy instead of telling it that you are a frightened, unhappy person who deserves to suffer."

She suggests another exercise: Try to visualize your amygdalae lit up and shining beautifully. At that moment, take yourself to a time when you were as happy as you have ever been. Send the joy you feel to your prefrontal cortex so you can remember it.

"The more you practise these things, the more you can voluntarily increase the activity of the front cortical processing system. The more you do it, the better you get at it, and the better you feel."

What I find even more interesting is the claim you can experience an explosion of ectasty or bliss or 'nirvana' by clicking until you "pop" your frontal lobes... "Popping" the frontal lobes is slightly different than clicking the amygdala- it happens after repeatedly clicking the amygdala forward....

Scientific Nirvana

"Popping" your frontal lobes or Frontal Lobes Transcendence is defined as an extension of other experiences known historically as: nirvana; satori; samadhi; kensho; enlightenment; born again; and other "one-with-the-universe" rapturous experiences of which have been recognized for thousands of years.

Only now has recent scientific investigation made it possible to pinpoint the actual specific areas inside the human brain involved in this kind of experience, and the kind of thought processes which turn it on.

Thank you so much for adding something new to list wolfgang, the weirder the better! Please continue to post what you find that rest of us don't know about yet....

Thanks for the links too, I went to the site and checked them out, I've always been curious about DNA sounds and what the possibilities are... however with the DNA activations thing, it looks too new age like and suspicious to me...

It's a bit way out there; it talks about what the archangel 'metatron' says about DNA activation, and if it's discussing archangels before we even know that DNA activation is real, then uh oh... .... It also claims, according to Metatron, that DNA activation heals almost everything from physical to emotion to social....

They assume the customer must already believe in the existence of the archangel metatron, before they even demonstrate DNA activation is real and actually works... To me this is a major problem on the part of new age thinking....

A book on DNA activation (change your DNA, Change your life ) was offered on amazon.com. Here are some of the reviews;

A little Frustrating, December 30, 2005
By G. Hopkins "Treehugger" (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews

Ok, the first half of this book does nothing more than talk about purchasing some DNA activation kit and joining the authors home base of practitioners. Similar to the "cures they do not want you to know about" scam. I will say that there is some good information in this book, but would not understand that had I not known about other holistic healing modalities that describe the same things. This book appears to be a trademark promotion based on several other holistic philosophies. More power to you if you can do it... but the author is going to have to come up with some original material. This book didn't offer me anything I haven't read about or experienced before.

A Poor Choice, October 20, 2005
By Ghost Hunter - See all my reviews

Having become interested in metaphysical advancement, I stumbled across the interesting concept of DNA Activation. Thus I began my search for resources that could help me do this, and my search led me to this book.

I was quite disapointed with this book, for one main reason: it's a selling point for a larger 'kit'. The book describes how to do 1st and 2nd DNA Activation, but in order to do the recommended 3rd and 4th Strand Activation, you have to spend a hundred bucks to get the information. [...]

Place this on top of the many spelling and punctuation errors, and it adds up to a book not really worth the paper it's printed on. I recommend avoiding this book

Some positive reviews;

DNA Activations, January 4, 2007
By M. Dolan (Australia) - See all my reviews

Since completing DNA Acitivation courses, I am constantly on the lookout for new information on the subject. I found this book to be very similar to what I've already been taught. However, it's a great reference manual for anyone wishing to commence DNA activation work without actually attending a workshop. Although I would recommend that you do this work with another like-minded individual, so that you can talk each other through the processes accurately.

This book walks you through several DNA Acitivation exercises and also provides you many ideas on what types of personal healing work can be achieved by using the process outlined in the book. It also provides you with a good reference guide for what to expect once your DNA has been activated. It's written in an easy to read manner and is a great "how to" guide.

First time, October 17, 2007
By Lee Books - See all my reviews


This is the first review I have ever done.
That said, I think that this book opens up possibilities of actually healing the world of its problems. All problems stem from someones EGO

.

But none of the positve reviews actually speak of doing it and having it work, and giving examples, only about what a good idea it is...


I was starting to become interested in reading activateyourdna, but they mention the Akashic records and they seem to assume the customer must already believe in that, before even purchasing the program. They mention other strong new age belief concepts too....

I would have felt more comfortable if they presented as much a scientific approach as reasonably possible, understanding that the potential customer may not have the same metaphysical beliefs they do.....

Still the idea seems interesting, maybe can we find a DNA concept soundtrack that is a little more on the scientific side with an attempt to present as much evidence, proof and scientific backing as possible......If this concept has any merit, then I would only be interested in a soundtrack that has sounds that the DNA has been proven to respond to......

Attitude Activator Update



In order to see if it works, (at least for me) I listened to this last night at work, during some spare time... No relaxation, just listening to it as I walked around.

After returning to work I must admit I felt a jolt of energy and enthusiasm and confidence for the rest of the night..that was why I was in a mood to post so late!

Attitude Activator is similar to paraliminals, but it is not a paraliminal or by Paul Scheele; it does use two voices in each earphone, but unlike paraliminals, one voice is male the other is female. There is also a jazzy upbeat music that plays but changes depending on the mood the voices are describing at the moment.

What makes it so fun to listen to is the playful tone to it; The male voice sounds jazzy and laid back, while the female voice is sultry and sexy.. soft oohs and ahhs, while the voices supposedly addresses each side of your subconscious and brain with specific messages and programing....

I would have to experience the same effect more to ultimately say it actually works...


New Technique to Break Old Habits

This is a simple method that lets you break a bad habit by going ahead and doing your bad habit...

The technique is used by a doctor to help his patients quit smoking and according to the site I'm about to post, has an unusual high success rate with it.

Alsearsmd.com

Do you have a habit that you’d like to break?

I recently had dinner with one of the most talented doctors I’ve ever known. He has incredible success getting people to give up old, destructive habits – regardless of how many times they’ve tried and failed.

He has an impressive track record with smokers. The general success rate – no matter which smoking program you’re talking about – is between 20% and 30%. But he’s able to get over 50% of smokers to quit within 4 weeks.

So how does he better the odds?

His technique is simple. You put your conscious mind between your thoughts and your habit. Here’s how it works: When the desire for a cigarette strikes, you put 30 seconds between that desire and the act of lighting up.

During those 30 seconds, you stop and think about why you’re smoking and why you want to stop. Then you smoke your cigarette.

This works for several reasons. First, it breaks the chain of acting without thinking. Second, it allows you to develop and reinforce the feeling of why you want to quit. Over time, the desire to break the habit becomes the dominant motivating force and the ritual is broken.

My friend tells me that within 4 weeks, over half his patients give up their habits. You can use this technique on your own and get the same results.

One of the most important things I’ve learned about changing habits is that you need to replace a bad habit with a good habit. But this a little trickier than you might think. This requires that you change your attitude. That’s the trick

I haven't tried this yet, but at least it's simple and ready to use...

The Tingler



If you take this device and gently massage and run it through the top of your head, you will experience goosebumps, a shimmering feeling of pleasure, bliss...

That is what the makers claim...it's made of copper and copper is a good conductor of electricity.... it's also novelty item, but there are some interesting testimonials from peoples about this one..

InStyle Magazine

Wouldn't you just love to give your sweetheart a thrill for this Valentine's Day? Then check out the Tingler. Touted as "legalized ecstasy" and "an orgasm for the head" by inventors Wendy Robbins and Jorli McLain, this handheld device, known as the Orgasmatron in Australia, stimulates accupressure points and nerve endings on the scalp, giving the user a pleasant goose-bumps sensation.

Celebrities who either bought or received them as gifts include Minnie Driver, Jack Nicholson, Gweneth Paltrow, Hank Azaria, Annie Potts and ever the-go-to-the-stars and relaxation expert Deepak Chorpra. Still not convinced that the Tingler isn't a torture device? Check out the streaming video of the first-time users.

As it's inventors attest, "The Tingler™ lets you see what people look like in their most intimate moments. People always say I look like I just had sex." Go ahead and tingle all the way. - I-Lien Tsay

Spa magazine

Tingle me, please.

A vendor at a festival asked if I had ever experienced The Tingler™. Then she turned me around and plunged this copper clawlike contraption into my scalp. Oh my gosh... my body shook, I shivered from head to toe, and I couldn't contain a "woo-hoo-hoo."

The makers of The Tingler™ say that it massages millions of nerve endings in your scalp, affecting acupressure points and giving you goose bumps that produce painkilling, stress-relieving, brain-awakening endorphins. All I know is that people were lining up in droves to experience it - "and though Im not too big on sharing my hairbrush, I didn't give that a second though, as long as I got another tingle.

Be back later to post more testimonials, take care...

[Rockchick26]

Is this Tingler something you can do alone,or do you have to have somebody holding it up to your head? I wouldn't want to do it with somebody else doing it,how fun would that be for them? lol

Yes, rockchick, you can do it yourself!

From: Bodyandsoul.com

HOW DO YOU USE IT? You or someone else (it's great because you can tingle yourself) lowers the Tingler onto your head and twists, turns, and lifts it. The ends of the arms move all over your scalp, stimulating & tantalizing thousands of pressure points and nerve endings.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS AWESOME... You will tingle all over, from your head all the way down to your toes . Then, there's a really good chance you will get goosebumps or your hair will stand on end. Shivers will move up and down your spine, sending you into a state of cosmic bliss and delight. Some even say it's better than you know what! (we'll let you be the judge of that one)

I looked this up on amazon.com and it got a negative review... because the first time the customer used it, it felt great, but it got broken later so he or she couldn't use it anymore!

Here's a video of people having the tingler used on them...

Video of people's reactions to the tingler

[Rockchick26]

lol awww that was cute seeing the baby get Tingled! But,at the end of the video they say it doesnt work on yourself. so,i guess i'll have to wait til i get a boyfriend or something before i get one LOL

[nightdiamond]

Woops, sorry, rockchick, it seems different sources say they can be used on yourself and some say it's better with another person....
still those descriptions ......

Instant Sex Attractant for Men or Women



According to Athenainstitute, if you splash a bit of this special smelling formula on your neck or elsewhere you can instantly attract men or women to you more easily- and they won't even know why- other than they want you.....

It's a special formula that contains a chemical called pheromones- supposedly a special chemical released to attract the opposite sex...

According to atheninstitute, this product is backed by double blind studies, and she claims to have numerous real life testimonials from people who have used it;

Professor Pacifies Gender-Wars with Classroom Pheromone Experiment

Athena Institute receives hundreds of testimonials from people who have used the Athena Pheromones. Below, a college professor calls in with the interesting results of her own experiments on her students

..... Graduate school professor calls in to Athena Institute President Dr. Winnifred Cutler: (Actual 2001 telephone conversation):

"Oh, Dr. Cutler, is this you? Yes, I had tested the product (Athena Pheromone 10:13 for women.) and was amazed at the effects it had on my class. So I am ordering again.

I teach a course to graduate students... forty in the class, half women, half men.

We are examining human rights laws, issues of health and rights of individuals. It is a difficult experience for many students who have led sheltered lives, as they discover their own country of origin is engaging in human rights abuses.

The class is difficult as it is. Human rights law with graduate students---master's and Ph.D. candidates. They are looking at things that people do to people that are just not right. They will be in deep arguments when they discover human rights abuses. ...

One woman mentioned the work Dr. Cutler had done on pheromones. Then a man in the class jumped up saying, "you people are stupid to buy this stuff!"... The event literally changed the class from that moment on. I said, "Let's stop talking about this. Let's go to lunch." They bought their lunch but came back to talk about this with their lunch in hand! ... I had never seen such a reaction to any idea.

I am one of those people who does not like to be defeated. The class was so caught up in argument that they would not let it go. I went home that night and was reflecting on what had happened in class that day. And I was leafing through a magazine I get--New Age Journal. And there was your ad. I thought: This is "the stupid thing" the students are enraged about, this was the thing the class was all caught up over.

I decided to try to do this experiment and we got such amazing results! Men don't want to "link", to sit near the women during these arguments. Too much tension.... So, at that time, I ordered a vial [of Athena Pheromone 10:13]. I gave this offer to the women who wanted to test it. I followed the directions, found a fragrance from a natural health products shop, and mixed it with the Athena Pheromone 10:13.

I got the women who wanted to test it to agree to wear it every day. Well, 20 women in this class, all of them shared it. Now, in this class when we are discussing issues of rape and other abuses of women, the men and women always sit in groups apart from each other. It is a natural tendency.

Well, the third time in class it was hysterical!

The men started asking, "Why do women want to sit alone? It's not bad to mingle during class."

One man literally said, "It's wrong! We have come here, we should not sit apart!" It continued like this, some of the women started describing their experiences outside of class.

One woman whose boyfriend had gone to Yale, had planned to break up with her and was coming up to [our college] for a planned event. He got near her and changed his mind saying, "Oh no, the new girlfriend is not as a good as you.." That sort of thing.

I was really skeptical. Now I wanted to see how this is going, where. It was the most weird thing that the class had ever produced.

I remember I was flabbergasted watching the students start to mix. ***
By the 5th week, the students were all mixing and studying in a mixed study group! In a class of 48 students this had never happened before. Other changes occurred also... Never, never before it was like this kind of pleasantess of the men toward the women in the classroom!. It was amazing! ......................

You add your perfume or cologne to the formula, so you have more choice and can use your favorite.

I'll be back later to post on this....

[Rockchick26]

lmao!! That hands free umbrella really made me laugh out loud,hard! I think i can do without talking on my cellphone for a few minutes rather than look like i have some oversized space helmet on my head LOL

Spider catcher looks cool!

That pheromone perfume stuff,i have tried something like that before,all it did was made ME hornier! lol No guys were attracted to me when i wore it. But i wouldnt wanna use that stuff anyway cuz if it works,you'll attract EVERYone,not just the ones you want to attract. I already have all the wrong ones wanting me LOL

I know but.... if you could walk in the rain and don't have to worry about getting your hair wet, groceries wet, don't have to run while carrying something....and common, you have to admit it looks comfortable...

I think you have to really be cool to carry this off....

Pheromones are like subliminals; some swear they work, some say they think it works, some say don't spend your money, and some say they make them feel hornier....lol..

I chose Winafred's athenainstitute because her work at least seems to take a more scientific approach, but you're right rockchick.. there's no guarantee that a person will respond a certain way, even if it actually works....



Egely Wheel

According to the maker of this device, you actually move it's wheel with your willpower, without touching it. And according to Dr. George Egely, this device is the result of many years of intense scientific research.



He claims it the actually life force energy eminating from your hand that causes the wheel to turn, not a draft or wind or your breath. Other supposed studies verified that the wheel's motion was not caused by heat, convection, or electromagnetic forces, so it could not be from body heat- just the life force from a person's hand.

It won't turn automaticaly; It takes focus and, the higher the person's energy level is, the faster they can make it turn. It displays the "score" measuring your life energy from highest to lowest, so it can also be like game.
It can also be used to improve concentration, or increase your supposed life energy....

There appears (according to Egely) to be some scientific-like backing behind this, but also a lot of skepticism as well...


Music Of Light




Dr. Valerie Hunt has claimed to have recorded the actual vibrations of the human energy field and transfered and modualted them into sound. Her CD's are said to actually brighten and nourish the human energy field after listening to them.

She has been researching the body's energy system for years and has docummented her work. Her Music of Light CD is stated as the "The only authentic auric tapes".

I am still using Marcey Hamm's cd's every day,and i haven't noticed any difference at all. So i'm skeptical on these types of cd's.

I am really liking this book "your hands can heal you",i'm so glad you recommended this to me!! I read 42 pages in about an hour or so! Its very informative,interesting,and hopefully i'll get results from the techniques in it!

I understand your skepticism, I can't completely vouch for her cd either except to say when I had that night where it seemed like I was awake, watching myself dreaming all night, when I played it.

If I actually experiment with something like this based on the claims, I try to give a fair try, then if there seems to be no results, I might experiment one last time a little extra by specifically telling myself my mind or body will respond to the music.

It seems like the more metaphysical something is, the harder it is to get results out of it. If I don't get any after giving it a good try, then I become skeptical too and stop....

I'm glad the book feels right for you rockchick, and I hope you get the results you're looking for.


Water Infused with Intention? (stay back rockchick)

What is Water with Intention?

H2Om is the world’s first interactive water. While you drink, use the words on the label as the driving force in creating your own intention. Visualize great, extraordinary, vivid, mental creations. For the good of you, for the good of mankind, for the good of the planet. Drink in the thoughts as you absorb the crystal clear vibrationally charged spring water, then resonate the positive energy throughout your day.

.......Everything in the universe contains a vibrational resonance or frequency. As powerful as water is, it is mutable, receptive and sensitive. Water registers and faithfully transmits any frequency it is exposed to. In fact, recent scientific research has proven that water is directly effected by the words, sounds and thoughts it is exposed to.

Based on these findings H2Om's Vibration Hydration™ process was developed. There are several distinctive vibrational frequencies that are infused in each bottle of H2Om.

Uhh Oooook... this water is supposedly (and I really mean 'supposedly') infused with the vibrations of words, colors and music into the molecular structure of the water, and when you drink it, you are also drinking the vibrations....

And how cute, the bottles come in different 'infusion flavors' (not actual flavor) depending on the vibrations; love, peace, prosperity, gratitude, even OM! Meditation is getting easier and easier these days.....

Does this really work? How should I know???!!??


Learn the strange abilities of Yogis and Monks



Yogis and monks have been reported to do things like meditate in the snow and stay warm. Control different parts of their body at will. Jack schwarz claims to teach things close to this, like healing, controlling pain, and tapping into abilities considered mythical by the average person.

Jack himself was said to possess unusual abilities and was even tested in laboratories (Elmer Green, Menninger Foundation) and other places;

A similar fire-test was performed by Jack Schwarz, of Selma, Oregon, before physicians of the Los Angeles County medical and hypnosis associations. After having been examined by the doctors, Schwarz put his hands into a large brazier of burning coals, picked some up, and carried them around the room. Subsequent examination showed no burns or other signs of heat on his hands.

And from his site;

Born in Dordrecht, Holland, in 1924, Jack Schwarz distinguished himself as an internationally-recognized authority on voluntary controls and human energy systems. He was a subject, researcher, and consultant at major biomedical and life science research centers in the United States and Europe.

Results of tests performed on Jack documented his abilities to self regulate many psychophysiological processes of his body. By voluntarily attaining specific brainwave states, Jack Schwarz has scientifically shown how to control the pain of physical trauma, regulate blood flow, blood pressure, and heart rate; heal his body within hours after it was injured, and be unaffected by toxic substances injected into his body.

Readings charted by an electroencephalograph confirmed that the electrical output of his brain had a greater amplitude and voltage than other research subjects.

At Menninger Foundation he demonstrated the power of the mind over the body (matter), by putting a long sail maker's needle through his biceps, and there was no blood-not a drop. He stated that he put the needle through "an arm", not his arm. He was asked by one of the researchers, Dr. Green, to make his arm bleed. At this request, Jack moved his attention from his higher self to his ego self (self image). His wound opened up like a faucet. He then let go and moved back into the silence of the higher self, and the bleeding stopped instantaneously.

Jack's range of vision exceeded what is normally considered to be visible light. As a consequence, he saw the band of electromagnetic fields which surround every organic body. Based upon 70 years of observing the energy fields, Jack Schwarz could describe the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual conditions of people, and the degree to which they use their unique energy potentials.

If what they say about him is true, this may be yet the closest way to uncover those abilities yogis have always talked about.

"The MotivAider"



If you're having trouble getting rid of a bad habit or behavior, or want to improve something about yourself, this device is supposed to help you, and help you do it more quickly....

It works by clipping on your belt and sending you a private signal that reminds you of what you're doing now, the goal you are going to accomplish, or to keep you on track ...

You create a strong personal message related to your goal, one that motivates you (I'll look sexy, if I stick to my diet) and then assign it the vibrating pulse that the motivaider sends you. You set the

Then when the motivaider sends you the vibration, you also receive the message as well, prompting you to make the changes you want without stressing you out and taking too much time.

From their site:

The MotivAider gives new meaning to the word "versatile." Because it corrects for a fundamental flaw in the way the mind treats your good intentions, the MotivAider lets you make desired changes - both big and small — in virtually any area of your life. For example, the same simple tool will help you stick to a diet, improve your golf or tennis game, or improve your job performance.

You can use the MotivAider to try out a new outlook or attitude, to stay focused at work, or to improve your image or your relationships. It can help you quit smoking, get organized, or be a better parent or partner. Or you can use it to improve your posture, reduce stress, become a more comfortable and effective public speaker, or stop biting your fingernails.

Looks like a pretty good idea, because it involves reminding you and doesn't promise to make your habits disappear doing nothing....


Think right Now!



According to Mike Brescia, you can overcome anxiety problems, lose weight, overcome depression and a lot of other things by playing this cd while you go about your daily business.

They're not subliminal programs- (They're insistant on that) you can hear the affirmations and messages clearly, but they are messages specially designed to have an impact on the listener's mind, as well a specially designed delivery process that makes the mind more receptive to the audio messages.

The site has many many testimonials, but I'm sure there are negative reviews out there too.

Lost 65 Pounds So Far!

“I have now lost 65 pounds! I need another 10 - 15 lbs and will be at ideal weight! One year ago I was wearing a size 20 and now a size 8 to 10. I would have never believed that a change in my thinking patterns would cause me to be an entirely different person.” Candice (Deleted), North Carolina


Getting Stuff Done!

“I started beaming around the house, confidently attacking long-standing piles of paperwork that I had hesitated to make decisions on before, organizing files, getting rid of old clothes, making telephone calls I had put off before, actually getting through my To Do list quickly, and having more spontaneous fun than I thought I could with my children.”

-Esther Deleted, Canada

You can listen when driving or doing daily chores or while you sleep. The topics address depression, anxiety, procrastination, self esteem, and more....

PMS Relief by Wearing a Light Mask



This mask device is said to relieve those annoying symptons of PMS;

Photic Stimulation and PMS
Dr. D. J. Anderson and his colleagues at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School at Hammersmith Hospital in London, England, recently completed a trial of photic stimulation for premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Their results were reported in The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (17(1): 76-79, 1997).

Seventeen women with confirmed, severe, and long-standing PMS were treated with photic stimulation for fifteen minutes a day for three months. The light device consisted of a soft mask, which covered the eyes and which had red LED lamps mounted one in front of each eye.

The patients were asked to use the device at home for fifteen minutes per day, every day throughout their menstrual cycle. They recorded their symptoms daily for two menstrual cycles before treatment, three cycles during treatment, and one cycle after treatment was stopped.

On average the women experienced a 76% reduction in their PMS symptoms at the end of three months of photic stimulation (see Figure 1). This level of improvement is greater that that reported for any other PMS treatment, be it fluoxetine (Prozac), hormones, relaxation, or vitamin and herbal supplements. By the end of the trial most of the women could no longer be considered to have PMS and would not have qualified to enrol in the trial.

The trial was not blind and thus was open to possible placebo effects. However, the magnitude and persistence of the improvement make a purely placebo explanation improbable, especially since most of the women had previously tried other PMS treatments without success and were consequently sceptical of this new and unorthodox approach.

I have that Pillow Sonic thing...i used it maybe 3 times and i cant fall asleep with it on! Even at a very very low volume. Because every time i hear a song,i either get too into it and wanna turn it up or i cant hear it enough and it bugs me and i have to lay there and listen harder until i can figure out what song is playing LOL I originally wanted it for helping me fall asleep or helping me hear certain songs while i'm dreaming and hopefully induce lucid dreams,but it totally backfired on me,and i realized i cant have music playing while i'm sleeping cuz i cant sleep with it on. but for the wierdest reason,i sleep through my alarm sometimes LOL

Tranquility Eye Mask

If you don't like the speaker pillow that much rockchick, there are eye/sleep masks available with the option for plugging in sound.



Tranquility is a very soft and comfortable mask that completely blocks out all light and comes with 5 nature sounds that can play from within the mask with the option of plugging in your own cd or mp3 player. And it shuts down automatically after 30 minutes.

It seems perfect for meditation, enjoying your own music with no distraction, and for rockchick, a way to stimulate lucid dreams if you can find the right way to work with it.

Harmonic Sleep (Makes you go to sleep faster)




This is a frequency cd that you play in the background. It is supposed to get you to sleep much faster than normal, improve the quality of that sleep, and make it much deeper.

It contains pink noise, but the real frequencies that do the job are underneath the pink noise. And it is laboratory- proven to do these things according to its makers.

The Fly Catcher



On the other hand, if you don't give a fig about flies, then forget the spider catcher and get this. It's real and it actually catches flies. It comes with bait hidden inside the mouth which draws the flies in. Then when the.... here's a video clip you can watch to see...

Have a better than photographic memory

Harry Lorayne used to be a magician, but began to research memory after he found that his feats of memory astounded his audiences. He then developed his own system of memory, and has gone on to be one of the foremost experts on memory.



Want to remember long digit numbers? Remember any date? Crazy feats of memory?

Here are some videos of people using his methods to do these things;

Fantastic! I know how the remember-the-order-of-the-word game works, don't know about the other ones. I got it from Derren Brown's book. It basically goes like this: he says the words and you form pictures of them in your mind. So when he goes from dragon to book the girl would imagine a book made of dragons or whatever silly picture will help her to remember. Then she will remember the next word (car) because she imagines a book car. And a car river. And a river cow. Never seen one?

That's the trick, but these kids seem to remember and make mental images really fast. Although we don't often need to memorize list like these, the underlying idea of creating bizarre images in your mind will help you in other situations. I still remember part of the list in Derren's book which I memorized over one year ago, which took me only 5 minutes. So anyone can do this.

I'm learning about the different motivational products that affect the mind into higher consciousness and really enjoy them. I'm looking to find similiar sites focusing on motivational products like Motivational Products, Inspirational Products,Inspirational Gift, Motivational Gift, Motivational Songs, Daily Motivation, Positive Affirmations. Something upbeat and inspiring is what really works for me. Thanks

Isn't that neat, GranCanaria? I can think of the advantages; for the job, getting a certain job, showing off skills, a lot of things...I think what those kids did was cool, and it makes me even more curious....

There's a lot of memory programs out there and a lot of them have been debunked, but these methods seem to be the best and most praised. I looked up Derren Brown and saw that he memorized an entire book in 20 minutes and was using the photoreading method too, interesting.....

How to get lots of money for anything fast



According to this book and its author, Stuart Lichtman, you can set a goal or intention, with a specific date, a specific amount of money you want to receive, and even under specific circumstances like the environment, write down that goal or intention in a certain special way, and have that goal or intention appear or 'manifest' on or before that date you set.

The author also makes some interesting claims about the success rate of this method; of the more than 50,000 subjects he taught this method to, 81% were able to "achieve goals they initially considered "seemingly impossible" - in a month or less."

The other 19% ? According to Stuart Lichtman, "Those who didn't achieve these goals, when they followed instructions correctly, achieved their own "seemingly impossible" goals on the second try - at a success rate of almost 100%."

I purchased this ebook program some years back and I must tell you, it is very technical and methodical. No words about law of attraction here.....

I didn't use it myself, (especially after taking a look at it!) but read it thouroughly, and learned the technique, and then one day a friend needed something in a hurry.

So I taught her the technique and longer story short after a few setbacks, she/we made a few corrections, what she wanted showed up just a few days after the date she set. And almost specifically to the intention she wrote down.

So that made an impression on me but I still think it could be coincidence as well as actions took and having connections... so since I haven't used it since then or at all myself, I cannot guarantee it will work for anyone or most people...

It also requires a lot of writing and mental work- it's not for lazy people . It's very technical in its style, with lots of specific details, almost rigid. Here's a testimonial from Stuart's site , though I'm learning to be cautious about trusting testimonials directly from a promoter's site.....

'THREE MONTHS, NO SALE. THEN... THREE DAYS, SOLD AT FULL PRICE!'

"I'm starting really slowly at this. But I was so keen the first week I read your book that I thought I'd try it out on selling my car.

"We had a 18 month old Landrover Discovery car - a luxury car in the UK. It had been on the market for 3 months. We'd spent over £ 300 advertising it. We had not had one single phone call. We decided to stop advertising.

"I did the CT exercise, coming up with a few blockages that I sorted out. I immediately got a phone call, but the caller was not willing to pay the asking price. So I repeated the exercise, writing it out fully one hundred times.

"I had put a time limit on it, 'by this Sunday..' On that very day, I came home from work in the evening to see a sign in the car window 'Sold' Somebody phoned that day, came to see the car, put a deposit down there and then. We sold the car for the asking price just 3 days after the written CT exercise.

"Thank you." Shirley (Deleted by nightdiamond)

The book also comes with extras, one being how to attract a specific looking mate and you also get to choose the look, personality and figure of this person and have that person show up on the specific date you set. Stuart gives a story about how he used the technique to find his own wife.

One note; Joe Vitale was involved with the marketing of the book, but not the writing of it itself.....



The Temptation Blocker



Ok, what if you are spending too much time online? And is playing games on the computer distracting you from getting your goals or chores done?

This is a free software program you install on your computer, that helps you stop wasting too much time by blocking a program or website for a certain period of time. You add the websites or program you want to block, and that's it...... you're dealing with a cold hearted computer - no surfing those sites or playing games for a while!

[Rockchick26]

I want that book,not the money one but the "extra",how to pick your mate and pick what day you meet them,etc. If i knew for sure it worked i'd get it right now LOL

Why didn't you use it, if it works so wonderfully? Because it is so technical? Wouldn't a million be worth an attempt?

[Arboretor]

I am highly suspicious of all this promotional rah-rah on their site. I would buy the book if it was only $20, but it costs almost $80. That is too much for something that may be only a scam. Is this method really so much different than ordiary LoA?

Hi Arboretor,

That's just the thing, I don't know for sure if it works wonderfully. In fact, one thing I have to say is to apologize if it seems like I'm "promoting" these products, but rather pointing out the more stranger products out there........but not strange enough to write off immediately...... But yes it was very technical in it's style, with some pretty specific rules and proceedures.

I bought it a few years ago when I tended to 'collect' programs and books like this, but during that time I was too lazy to try them out. I fell into the trap where collecting had become more interesting than actually doing. And I also had the feelings of having to start over if I felt the slightest doubt, or it won't work....That was the frame of mind I had back then...

I was also becoming more skeptical as time grew, so the style of this book, more analytical and methodic, was what caught my interest. It was to the point, no mention of L.O.A, allowing, or pushing something away ect....

One of things the promoter said about the book was not to let the title fool you. (A lot of readers voiced concern about the title of the book). The method could be used to bring about other things, not just money, and that was what caught my attention, or I would have mistaken it for an ebook on raising money for something...

So, I read it through to the point I understood the instructions, but the rigidity of it, turned me off', considering the state of mind I had back then..(lazy)

.. so I didn't use it, but not too soon after that a friend needed a job, and I decided to show her how to use the method, which involved ALOT of writing and double checking.... after she first used it she told me about people going up to her and offering her opportunities that had to do with her goal she wrote.... I asked if she told them about her goal, she said no, not at all...

Later, after A---LOT of more writing and rechecking, she got the job she described in her story, (hours, pay, type of boss)....a few small details missing though, and a few days after the date she set.....

So that was one of things which got my attention, though not enough to guarantee or say it works completely for everyone, because I haven't used it myself, but showed someone else how to.......

Arboretor;211986; I am highly suspicious of all this promotional rah-rah on their site. I would buy the book if it was only $20, but it costs almost $80. That is too much for something that may be only a scam. Is this method really so much different than ordiary LoA?

I can't blame you Arboretor, I bought it out of sheer curiousity and decided to take the risk, but for the most part, I remain skeptical of these types of programs and the more far out they sound, the more skeptical I get...

So I tend to see it like this; at a price like this, considering the subject matter, it's probably bogus and you can either pass it up, or make darrrrn sure they have real money-back guarantee..........

I actually have criticisms of my own towards the book as time moved on, and my approach and attitude to these things are different now....So I hope that explains a little of it, cause I understand the skepticism....

want that book,not the money one but the "extra",how to pick your mate and pick what day you meet them,etc. If i knew for sure it worked i'd get it right now LOL

Like I said, rockschick, if I didn't have this book already, I'd really most likely have the same attitude...

It's one of the 'unadvertised bonuses' they mentioned.

It's called "The perfect Partner Process, finding your perfect romantic or business Partner-or client-quickly or easily". As far as the site specifically mentioning it, this all I could find so far in the form of a testimonial;

'I EASILY GOT JUST THE RIGHT BUSINESS PARTNER'

"I spend a lot of time in my car and I find that is the best time for me to sort things out in my mind. I 'wrote' (in my mind) my list of the most important ideas, prioritized it as you suggested and came up with 2 items that I had to deal with quickly.

"Both of them involved having to ask another person to help me make them happen, but I didn't know who. I had been trying to find whom I could ask to help me with these for some time now, but could never find the right person.

"I then did the process as outlined in your bonus 'How to Find Your Perfect Partner,' and a name came back loud and clear.

"My conscious mind said that this is a very busy person, and the chances of her accepting my proposal would be pretty slim. But imagine my joy when I presented the project to her, and she said, 'What a good idea. I'd love to do this with you'

"Things are really happening now and a whole lot of ground level processes are being established for my business."

Claire ( Deletedby nightdiamond ) Australia

I have a copy of it, and am reading it again right now. It gives an example on giving a specific date for meeting this person, describing the hair color and hair style you want, the body figure, eyes, personailty even the height. Stuart Lichtman claims in this book he used the same technique himself to find his partner......

But man, is this method ever technical! It's pretty much the same method in the original ebook, but slightly geared toward attracting a partner, romantic or for other reasons....

Edit;
Ok, so for rockchick I can't post anything from his book because it's copyrighted, but here is one way- you can request his free newsletter where he'll give a very basic, stripped down version of his technique (involves writing) and adapt it for attracting and meeting a partner....

[Arboretor]

Thanks, nightdiamond. I never suspected that you were promoting these products, especially since you don't give the direct links I appreciate your posting these things here.
Maybe I subscribe to this newsletter you mentioned. As a computer programmer I am not afraid of following highly technical, detailed instructions. But I don't think I'll buy the book.

Good Idea, yes, Arboretor, you can subscribe, don't purchase anything - to his free newsletter and you should receive 3 lessons (after an introductory offer) that give a more basic version on this method. It's not the whole thing, but a basic component of it and if this method really works, then you could do a lot with just that. After that I can offer advice based on the experience I had and my view on it.

By the way, you're gonna get some highly technical instructions, to the letter, even for an email Let me know what you think of them!

Take Care Aboretor....

I had found that website before but never found a link for a free newsletter or mini-course. It looked interesting but I didn't like the price tag. Just now I had to Google to find the link to the free newsletter.

I subscribed and will let you know how it goes

Here is a link to 3 sample lessions. They seem to be the same as the emails you get when you subscribe to the newsletter:
