Actually I generaly believe the best results with these types of things can come in the awake conscious state, with focus, persistence, and intensity...

Would theta frequencies be possible to actually play as notes? What is it? 4 cycles per second? So if you play eigth notes with a tempo of 120 beats per minute, the notes would be 4 per second? Is that too fast to be humanly played?

Then once I was playing it in my car, pulled off to get gas with it playing, then the whole car stereo system just stopped making sound. It looked normal, with the LEDs that it uses to show radio/CD/tape volume etc... But what ever I tried to switch to, no sounds. A even turned the unit off and on.

Same strange state. Then I totally turned the car off, by taking the key out of the ignition. Then turned the key, didn't start the car - and the car stereo was back to normal. They said in their doc that the CD can do weird things like repeat sections or not play right but then later plays fine.

I do find that it sounds different after listening to it a couple times. I hear something that I didn't hear before, very layered sound.

Hmmm it sounds real interesting, but I could barely make out what the hell the site was talking about! lol....

But I like reading or hearing about experiences like yours because it stimulates curiousity. One claim about this music from the site suggests it transmits some type of energy to the user, so if the fuse box reacted that way, who's to say?


Some of the users seem way too new agey for me, but if this sound technology is for real and the results are real it's worth trying out.

I've wondered about DNA... technically, it's supposed to be responsible for evolving, and yet technically it's supposed to be composed of simple chemical compounds.

For example, before the porcupine had sharp quills, well, it didn't have any. The porcupine is also a somewhat slow animal, so without much protection, it ability to escape predators was a problem.

So somehow the DNA sensed this condition, and came up with solution- grow sharp hair-like quills that come off when disturbed. Great solution because most animals know to avoid porcupines...

How did a chemical compound inside the cell know that survival was threatened and then how to come up with that solution? How did it know that sharp quills will hurt predators?

It's hard to imagine how without thinking there has to be some odd paranormal link, but I don't automatically jump to this conclusion, I just find it interesting...

Maybe that's why this product may very well be real....




There are a lot of testimonials for it too..

Just a note to let you know that I received DNA Activation Level One and it is amazing the amount of shifting that is happening in my life. I want to Thank-you for creating such a means for healing, the music is amazing and powerful. I have been experiencing past lives, astral traveling, happiness, sadness, darkness etc. etc. Each day brings a new experience and each day I feel like I'm lighter and happier! I'm looking forward to much success in my life!! Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you! - IL



My bamboo plant has increased its growth - it had been very dormant for months. Just since I have played these DNA CDs while I sleep, it has doubled the number of its leaves and height.
-S.P.


Some very amazing things have happened lately. The other day, I was chatting online with a friend in the states. She also practices energy healing. All of a sudden, she asked me if I was sending her Reiki. At that moment, I felt a surge of energy in my head and realized that we experienced a spontaneous psychic link. Ever since then, we've been linked in one way or another. Sometimes the energy is strong, sometimes it‚s subtle. There are no explicit feelings or thoughts, only a knowledge that the link exists.

Like I said, some of it, a bit too new agey for me, but it's still real interesting....

Great post, thanks Wolfgamg........

Thanks again nightdiamond. You're a very helpful person!

2) The opposite - right hand/head & left hand to tail- makes for activation or restlessness.

Yep, that's the configuration, and I agree too, Wolgang, I felt the difference when I used them. One thing I felt was rejuvenation - after finishing with them, it felt like a full day's sleep for me.

When my first set needed repairing, I made a quick set of them myself too.

For me, it was extremely easy to fall asleep in them or even "blacking out" in one until I woke up.

The other times I also almost always felt the "energy" circulating through my body. Not every single time, but enough to be reliable for me.

The makers are apparently serious when they say this thing circulates energy or vibrations- they caution not to use other user's bio-circuits or use anyone else's unless you rinse them through water first (I'm supposing to drain out any previous residual energy.)

They even claim you can feel someone's energy if you connect their circuit to your own.

What was your id in the Aliix forum? There was some far out spiritual "truths" tossed about by the creators of the software. Like saying there is no such thing as free will, it's all like a script that we wrote or something wrote that is being played out exactly. Even the part about us thinking we have free will is scripted.

I wished people from this forum would try it out and asked lots of questions to their forum. They need to be responsible for what they create and sell and it's interesting stuff they claim. Of coarse there's disclaimers but then in the write up they claim opening of vertual chakras with the 12th project software.

They say you don't have to believe it to have it work. So then, that means you don't have to have a placebo effect that makes it effect you or your environment. I like the idea that water can hold more information than we give it credit.

That the molecules can arrange like snowflakes of all different kinds that become like homeopathic medicine that vibrates certain ways and is recognized by one's cells to do whatever the vibration brings about through sympathetic vibrations. That doesn't seem to far fetched. What allways seemed far fetched was getting the vibrations/frequencies into the water without magnets or electromagenetic fields arranging the moluecules.

You make a good point Wolfgang. It's not that I'm being overly critical, but for me, the more unusual the claims, the more logical evidence I want to began expressing any belief in it.

Especially with 'the one product cures everything-makes everything wonderful' products...I've bought and used enough of them in the past.

I may take mine out of the closet for some use. Haven't played with them in a while. I never did any connections with other people, or put any substance in the loop.

No worries. Guess I wanted more logical evidence from that Aliix water stuff too and wished to recruit people to question them in their forum as I have, but I'm not worried that way anyway.

Logical reasoning - I found that, even though their web site is a mess, the visionarymusic shape shifter sound scape stuff made more sense to start to believe. Sound gets the DNA to do things when the sound is a key of some kind. The question then becomes, how'd they get the keys and produce music/sound that are keys. I did buy their DNAbook.pdf that goes into theory with terms like biophotons, DNA being an antenna for electromagnetic vibrations (light), DNA as a harmonic oscillation of electromagnetic energy, morphogenetic field, DNA is a organic superconductor with very low energy loss, something about language being a reflection of the patterns found in DNA.. somethings like that to stretch imagination but also they try to make it seem not so far fetched or at least somewhat plausible that certain sounds can get your DNA molecules to resonate and remember something they can do better or start to do all together.

I haven't used mine in awhile either wolfgang, pretty good idea. The funny thing is that they seem to work in consistent manner and can really make you feel rejuvenated. I think back when I first had it, I wanted it to do EVERYTHING for me- feel energy, put me in a trance, enlighten me, etc..

All I got mostly was the deep relaxation, feeling the energy or whatever it was that was circulating, and the feeling of being rejuvenated.

Nowadays, I have learned more to actually DO things with the techniques or products I have, so the next time I do use Bio Circuits, I want to see what I can do with them.

The adding substances to absorb their "qualities" seems interesting, though I haven't tried it either yet to see if it's for real.

Still I have seen at least some users from another forum talk about them:

I don't blame you, Wolfgang, it's a way to investigate their claims, and to test their responses to see if they're consistent with their claims and their integrity.

Sometimes the more outrageous the claims, the more evidence would be required to make the claim believable..nothing feels more like a bummer than being disappointed or let down and having to start over again...

Still to have experienced what you did is pretty interesting.... let us know what else happens....

Something VERY STRANGE -Do you Believe This?

This is another one that is particularly strange... don't get me wrong, I don't accept one word of this, but the weirder it is, the more curious I am about it.

It's something I've known about for good while, and completely skeptical of it, but maybe it will be of interest to the board members here.

This technique claims you can create something out of nowhere ... like the gurus you've might have read about or something similar... not just have a coincidence happen that is in your favor, but actually creat something out of nothing.

It's called L.E.R.M. - Light Encoded Reality Matrix

It deals with the idea of taking kundalini energy (if you even believe in that) and then combining that energy with a mental hologram of what you want to create to a 'quantum' template, which then is pulled into 3 dimensional reality (goodness)..

Ok, here it goes...

From their site: Light Encoded Reality Matrix - LERM

Step One
I want you to get comfortable and relax.

Step Two
Then visualize the sixth chakra. At the base of chakra there is a well of energy this well is known as the jewel of the lotus.
Within the jewel there is a light golden energy. Visualize that this golden energy is trickling out of the jewel and spreading out into the chakra.
As the chakra spins see the chakra becoming golden in colour with its light radiant energy.

Step three
Now in your own time project that light golden energy to a point in front of you and create a electromagnetic field.
If it helps picture this electromagnetic field as a golden cloud.

Step Four
Then focus on an image of your desire and projecting that image into the electromagnetic field and make sure the electromagnetic field is completely surrounding that object.

Step Five
Then in your own time blend the electromagnetic field with the object and see the object taking form. see it transforming into physical matter and make sure the object is forming with no imperfection's.

Step Six
As the object forms then instruct quantum object to ground into the physical plain of solid matter.

Step Seven
When you think you have got a solid object in front of you open your eyes. And remember this is not teleportation. This is creation from light and also remember the wingmakers code because we seek the service and protect humanity as wingmakers.

Tips & Hints
If you have trouble grounding the object try draw a hara line down into the earth and ground the object that way and if that doesn't work try blending energy from the core star with the object and see what happens.

Nope, I don't know if this is real or if it works, and am for obvious reasons, completely skeptical of it...

The closest thing I have come to this, however involves a meditation I came across about a long time ago..

Remember the "Ahhh" meditation I posted a thread on? ... when compared, it is somewhat similar.. it involves raising energy from the base of your spine to your forehead, sending it out your forehead, then picturing what you want, as you say "Aaaaaaahhhh" ... it was given by a tamil sidhhi guru...

... supposedly it claims to give one the power to manifest things because "Ahh" is supposed to be the vibration things make when they come into existence. I don't really buy this either.


I don't particularly endorse the ahh meditation either, but one time I was experimenting with it and for a few minutes thought about my dog, who at the time was on a leash by his doghouse. I was going to be leaving soon and intended to unleash him to run around.

However I forgot and left..I realized when I was already gone that I forgot to unleash him..when I came back home, I went to his doghouse to find that the chain and collar where neatly inside his doghouse, and he was running around free in the front yard.

The way the collar and chain was left in the doghouse, made me immediately think someone must have let him go, but when I asked, everyone said no, he must have got free himself..

I don't jump to conclusions, so my conclusion is still that he likely somehow slipped out of it, but the way this happened definetly got my attention..

Attention! - Listen and Improve Your Concentration In 2 Minutes



Do you have problems concentrating? Always feeling easily distracted when you are doing something? Do you have ADD or know someone that does?

This CD might be the answer - It's called Attention!, and it is claimed can improve your concentration after just 2 minutes of listening to it.

It was developed by Dr. Paul Swingle. He was a lecturer of psychiatry at Havard Medical School, and held various other positions throughout his career.

He discovered it by accident when he was experimenting subliminal sounds (not messages, just soundwaves). In the other room, the other researcher, his assistant, seem to lose his ability to concentrate.

When he discovered this, he began experimenting with different frequencies to see if he could create the opposite effect, concentration. Eventually he did manage to come up with the exact frequencies which according to him, dramatically improved concentration.

Two Minute Exposure Produces Great Results

The data confirmed the remarkable results: after only two minutes exposure, improved mental states were still measurable after 1 hour or more.

Dr. Swingle tested different versions on normal individuals as well as in clinical settings involving children with ADD, closed-head injury cases, and anxiety- related disorders. In each type of situation, he achieved consistent success.

In a University of West Florida study, biofeedback expert Dr. Thomas Budzynski tested this technology on the cognitive function of elderly people with equally dramatic results.

This product claims to be clinicaly proven to increase concentration in people with ADD, head injuries, and people who simply want to improve their concentration.

You don't need headphones, there are no subliminal messages on it, and it doesn't "entrain" your brainwaves. Instead, it "dis-entrains" brainwave frequencies that cause mental fuzziness and distraction problems.


I have a copy myself that I purchased a good while ago. I remember playing it as I played checkers, online with someone else. I won about 5 games straight before I stopped, which I wondered if the CD contributed to it.

I also discovered one day, that after listening to it for about an hour, I felt shaky and overstimulated. The instructions said that too much listening could cause an effect similar to drinking too much coffee..

One thing I was always curious about, and that is using this cd for meditation- if meditation involves pinpoint focusing, then I wondered if one could use this cd while meditating on something.

I hope this helps anyone that can use this...

what does it sound like to you? I bet it would work fine to meditate to, although there isn't any mention of that use on a web site I googled of the product. That this CD is not an entrainment type would mean the CD will not put you or entrain you into a brain wave frequency. But maybe dis-entraining incoherent fuzzy waves allows coherent meditative brain waves that you can find on your own.

emWave® Personal Stress Reliever® from HeartMath
How emWave Reduces Stress and Creates Coherence

Here's why it works. emWave shows the effects of stress on your body by measuring the subtle changes in your heart rhythms. This type of measurement is known as heart rate variability analysis or HRV. The analysis of HRV is recognized as a powerful, non-invasive measure that reflects heart-brain interactions and autonomic nervous system dynamics, which are particularly sensitive to changes in emotional state.

However, emWave does a lot more than just show the effects of stress on your body. It reduces stress by training you to create more “coherence.” Coherence is a term used by scientists to describe a highly efficient physiological state in which the nervous system, cardiovascular, hormonal and immune systems are working efficiently and harmoniously. Coherence is a state very similar to what athletes experience when they are in what is called “The Zone”.

again tempted to check this one out - I got a reduced price alert from amazon.com about it, although I did buy this one:

Stress Relief Stress Anxiety - StressEraser -

Have had it just a couple days.

Here’s where the magic happens: once you start making smooth waves, you activate something called the parasympathetic branch of your autonomic nervous system. That’s quite a mouthful, but there is a simpler name — it’s also known as the "relaxation response." By prompting you to synchronize your breathing with your nervous system, the StressEraser helps you learn to relax your mind and body. And the good news is that it does what you’d think — it helps your body relax by releasing calming hormones and relaxing your arteries. It’s your body's natural, built-in repair system.

It is wild that by just reading my pulse from my finger this unit can guide me into timing my breath to increase relaxing or balancing of the para/auto nervous system. I guess the heart rate changes in response to your breath, such that the heart rate increases just a bit when you inhale and the rate decreases when you exhale, perhaps. I found I was able to get the waves on the unit to stabilize out and I was getting very calm and breathing slow and deep without effort. Also it seemed like the inhale was faster during the beginning of the inhale and slows down at the top of my breath. And vice versa with the exhale. The exhale slows down as it get toward the end when the breath is about to turn around.

I'm not sure what is really different between the StressEraser and the emWave unit. Although the emWave has a way to click the pulse sensor on your ear. I'm not sure what kind of audio feedback the emWave makes, but the StressEraser can make little tones, 3 of them to let you close your eyes and still get the feedback. I like the graph the StressEraser shows, emWave seems to not have that. But the StressEraser tones are typical computer chip blips - couldn't they have made less intrusive sounds? I was using it before sleeping and the bleeps tell you when to exhale - ok, but the blips sometimes would disrupt my peace and if that sound could be like a gradual bell sound or flute sound it would be less jarring. But I don't think that's a big issue. I found a state of relaxation I haven't gotten to in a while, or that would take me longer and lots of mental quieting to get to. Having the StressEraser as something to focus on is part of what keeps the mind chatter down. I could also notice as soon as mind chatter got going, the coherence wave on the StressEraser would start to freak out.

NIGHTDIAMOND:

One thing I was always curious about, and that is using this cd for meditation- if meditation involves pinpoint focusing, then I wondered if one could use this cd while meditating on something.

I hope this helps anyone that can use this...

WOLFGANG: what does it sound like to you? I bet it would work fine to meditate to, although there isn't any mention of that use on a web site I googled of the product. That this CD is not an entrainment type would mean the CD will not put you or entrain you into a brain wave frequency. But maybe dis-entraining incoherent fuzzy waves allows coherent meditative brain waves that you can find on your own.

Yes, sorry, it seems that right now, the Attention program only comes on CD.


I came up with that thought, when I considered how in meditation, it is said that the more a person concentrates on an object of focus, the more they are absorbed into their meditation. And presumably, the more likely to have a profound experience of some sort.

But I discovered this is also true with other practices, whether it be just a visualization exercise, self help exercises (NLP for example). I always noticed whenever I really concentrated when doing things like this, I had the most experiences afterwards (Lucid Dreams etc.)

It is said that being distracted is one of the biggest problems with practices like these.

Yes, the basic application was just to increase concentration, for people with Add, to bring theirs back to a "normal level", and for others, to improve it even more.

The instructions that came with my CD mentions it can be used for concentration during specific tasks - like studying, or other mental activites (perhaps physical too) that requires focus.





I went to the site to take a look, Wolfgang.. I like the idea of both products you found.

Good pick too, I see the potential in this one, because it gives a practical solution in the REAL WORLD. By that I mean, that usually during relaxation and meditation practices, when we are in a quiet place, we feel relaxed and joyful. We think, 'this is it!' This is the state, I've founnnd it!'.

Maybe a few days after we meditated, we still feel pretty calm, but then eventually comes the rush again, the people that push your buttons, the hectic thoughts again- and the stress returns, making us want to find a place to meditate or whatever again...

I think these types of products kind of help to solve that problem...

This looks pretty convenient, you can carry it in the palm of your hand, so you can take it with you and use it on the spot.

With products like this, it's more easier to get research and testing to back up the claims. Both of them seem to have testing and research to support their claims. "Stresseraser" was featured on the "View". They also have a few testimonials as well:

The emWave® Personal Stress Reliever® is great. I have used it before every speech I have done since I got it. Some days are better than others but for the most part it has brought my anxiety level down and made me focus more on the subject than my feelings about the crowd. I gave one of them to my son who has difficulties with tests at school and he gets green before his tests. It has helped him to do better with the tests and from his teacher’s perspective he seems calmer when he takes them."

For Stresseraser:

VERY TREASURED BY THE GUYS AND GALS SERVING HERE IN IRAQ.

"This is a very highly stressful situation here. Crews are overworked, stressed out, shot at, and away from loved ones. Your stress erasers are very treasured by these guys and gals serving here in Iraq. I love to see the looks on their faces when they plug-in for the first time. It's perfect for our mission since Aircrews are not allowed to take medications and if we go to someone to talk about stress we risk losing our security access. The stress eraser allows us to erase the stress without either, and as a bonus feel like we are taking care of things without help from others."

SGT Dan deleted

A very good advantage would be to be able to enter the same exact state we were in when we meditated, except right in the middle of the stress causing situation.

This is what I specifically want- to take the results of those practices -whether it be calmness, bliss, etc. - and be able to recreate it and activate it automatically when I'm awake and alert in other situations during the day...

I think I might want one of these now, I'm getting curious about them..

As the days go by, can you let us know how effective this is in relieving stress, and keeping a pleasant mood ?

I got mine through amazon for $155, shipping included. I had a similar thought to write some software that would use a pulse reader input thingy and make the computer do cool animations and better sound for the feedback and sell it for dirt. I think I saw that emWave PC has modules to do visuals while training like this. I also found some interesting articles on people taking heart rate info and mapping the information to sound.
Heart Rhythms - Healthy (excerpt) I was looking up "heart rate variability" that these products are based on.

What Arboretor said about stressed out at the price and your response was too funny. Almost made me say to myself, "$179.00 ? well, on the other hand ......."

I think the product has its points though, with it being so small and the instructions on what to do in a stressful situation. I can imagine carrying it around and using it on the spot.


I also like the idea of having something to do at the exact moment that stress hits - the exercises - otherwise it's just thumping the fingers, and darting the eyes and rethinking over and over again about what caused the stress.

I do notice that whenever my mind is affected like that, I always like to have SOMETHING to do-some type of exercise, because it distracts the mind, keeping it busy, while at the same time you're doing something useful to dissolve that stress in the first place.

If you can handle stress the way this product suggests, it would make the quality of life a lot better, that's for sure...

Umm, Wolfgang, do you know where any instructions are for building one of these?

Pranic Healing - A Geniune Healing System That Actually Works?



Of the many healing systems I've come across or read about, this one seems to possess the most confidence of its users. It's being used in some hospitals and even physicians are using it in their practices.

It's also has been featured on local new programs, including "Hard Copy".


Pranic Healing is a "non-touch" healing system that claims to work by causing your own body to heal itself, rather than by just directly trying to heal it.

It uses prana, chi, or the "life force", to accelerate the body's own healing process, so that the healing occurs quickly- in fact, it is claimed that Pranic Healing accelerates healing three times faster than normal healing.

This prana can come from someone else who is acting as the healer, or you can use it to heal yourself. It can also be used to heal someone from a distance, according to its founder, Master Choa Kok Sui.



The book's style, according to others, explains the process in a modern, straight forward manner, and is easy to apply. There are quite a few books written by these authors, but the main two for physical healing are "Pranic Healing" and "Your Hands Can Heal You".

To read the claims, here are some testiminials or reviews from both books:

Pranic Healing

Young woman legally blind in one eye Healed in 20 (twenty) minute treatment. Kathy Pasero First for Women Magazine 1/20/97

Jill Schwartz was reading in her office when suddenly her vision in her left eye blurred. Within minutes, it faded to black. Panicky she rushed to her doctor's office. After enduring test after test, Jill was diagnosed with hyper coagulable platelets. A blood clot had blinded her. Jill, then 26, was told that she might never see through her left eye again. What was even more terrifying was that this disorder put her at high risk for a stroke or heart attack and she might die.


"I lived in constant fear. I gave up skiing, tennis, working out - all the things I loved. It felt as if my life was over," says Jill. For four years she followed doctor's order, taking blood thinners, steroids and medications to control her clotting. The pills didn't work. Nothing restored her sight. Laser surgery helped but, "It was like looking through murky water, but it was better than complete blindness."


Three months later, her eye haemorrhaged again and Jill had another operation followed by another. She was unable to see very well. After he ninth surgery, while walking out of the hospital, Jill caught a glimpse of herself in a car window. "I had a huge patch of gauze over my eye. I looked tired and so haggard I didn't even recognize myself, I am only 30 and I feel like a sick old lady. I can't go on like this!" she told her mother.


A friend persuaded Jill to give Pranic Healing a try. "I had nothing to lose," so accompanied by her boyfriend, she walked into the office of Master Stephen Co's in Pasadena, California.

.......Jill told him about her blood disorder and eye problem adding, "But you can't help me."

"Let me try," Master Co smiled and said.


Jill watched Master Co extend his hands six inches over her head then move them in a slow, circular motion, never touching her. For 15 minutes, Co's hands circled her head. "Your body can heal itself," Jill heard him whisper again and again. She felt silly and stifled a giggle, but she closed her eyes and listened to his soothing voice. She felt herself starting to relax, then suddenly, he said, "Cover your seeing eye. Open the blind one." She did as she was told. "I started crying," she recalls. "My boyfriend was standing in front of me and for the first time I could see him clearly!" "I could even see his freckles!"

"What did you do?" Jill cried to Co. "Why can I see?" Co simply answered he'd realigned her body's blocked energy - "nothing more."


Jill returned four times over the next five months. And to her doctor's astonishment, her blood disorder disappeared. While her doctor can't explain how or why it happened, Jill doesn't really care.

Pranic Healing goes into healing yourself but also on how to heal others and heal from a distance



Your Hands Can Heal You focuses on self healing, but both books are based on the same concept and method.

"Your Hands Can Heal You" Amazon.com Review:

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Hands Can Heal You : Pranic Healing Energy Remedies to Boost Vitality and Speed Recovery from Common Health Problems (Hardcover)

Overall, this is a good book. The methods described in the book really works. I gave the book 4 stars because half of the book is a waste of paper. All you need to know in order to heal with your hands is in chapters 5-10. The methods are very simple. The rest of the chapters, in my opinion, are there for no other reason than to make the book thicker.


By Anthony (deleted) (Los Angeles, CA United States)

.....In 1992 my dear friend Jill acquired a blood disorder which left her legally blind. From '92-'96 she endured nine laser surgeries, blood thinners, steroids...nothing changed. She met Master Co, he used the techniques, The same ones in 'Your Hands Can Heal', and in 45 minutes her vision returned and the blood disorder disappeared.

This is medically documented. 'Your Hands Can Heal' is a Priceless manual that I hope will empower all to a place of preventative rather than curative measures.
These Techniques Have Changed My Life. Master Co, Dr.Robins, I bow to You in admiration for the Gift You have given us.


By Scott (deleted) "SeeOtter"

This review is from: Your Hands Can Heal You : Pranic Healing Energy Remedies to Boost Vitality and Speed Recovery from Common Health Problems (Hardcover)

This book describes Pranic Healing basics. Pranic Healing is the use of the body's intrinsic energy (called 'ki' in Japan; 'qi' in China; 'prana' in India) for healing. There are many, many, many systems using ki/qi/prana for healing!

So, what's the big deal about this book ? The big deal is that all other systems I'm aware of have serious "baggage" problems!They tend to be over-complicated and/or heavily encrusted with unusable mystical elements.

Don't get me wrong - Mysticism can be fun! But in my extensive experience, only Pranic Healing lays out the basic facts with no hiding, games, coyness, or pretension, or excessive marketing embellishments. And, this book is the clearest presentation to date of Pranic Healing basic practice.

Of course, having a real live MD on board is always good for sales credibility, but Dr. Robins is much more than that - he's a truly effective healer, throughtful, interesting, and intelligent. These guys are not playing ego games, they just tell it like it is.

After training in dozens of energy methodologies, and reading hundreds of such books (I won't bother to name names here, you know who you are!) I have to state categorically that for any person who has to live in the real world, and whose time and other resources are consequently limited and valuable, do yourself a favor - just buy this book before any other.

THEN decide what else you really need to work with energy healing.

.........These authors have done everybody a major, major service in just giving it to us straight and freeing up our brains to either continue more deeply in a logical progression of energy healing training/research, or you can conclude with "Ok, I see what that's about, good to know!" and move on to something else, without all the usual confusion.

By the way after reading this book you have no excuse for ever having a headache ever again! It really WORKS !

I usually don't put too much faith in testimonials, but this is just to show anyone reading the claims about Pranic Healing. As far Amazon.com, it was hard to find a generally negative review, not that they don't exist, but this healing technique seems to get a lot of approval from many people....

When approaching these types of things, I also try to be as cautious and careful as possible, always seek professional medical treatment first before testing this out....

If you're interested, consider checking your library first, they may have one of these books there and you can read it for free....

No I don't. Although I think if you had a way to get a signal into a PC and were a decent software programming one could take the signal and do the transform to get the basic feedback that is happening. But I don't know what the transform is. Come to think of it, the gizmo shows a graph that has more points then the heart beats, so I don't know where they get that data. The info talks about HRV (heart rate variance) that is the difference between each heart beat. This difference between beats changes a certain amount - so math people? isn't that just the first derivative?

This frequency is between 5 and 7 breaths per minute for most adults. Breathing evenly at this rate will increase the variations in heart rate frequency. Variation refers to the fact that the rate at which the heart beats (pulse) is constantly changing in a healthy individual. Your pulse rate, for example, may vary from 65 to 75 beats per minute and then go back to 65 beats per minute, making this change about 6 times per minute.

If they are talking about the change in heart rate, then, yes, it would be basically the first derivative. And it wouldn't be difficult to build a decent software for displaying it. As you say, all it needs is to get the signal into your PC.

Personal and Sexual Magnetism Products

Can You Have Instant Charisma & Sexual Magnetism, And Attract People Just By Listening To This?


Instantaneous Personal Magnetism




According to Learning Strategies Corp., all you have to do listen to this 20 minute or so cd with headphones, and later you will emerge attractive to people with attractive qualities.

It contains paraliminal programming and some special breathing exercises you do while listening. You also get to choose a special model of someone that you know who has attractive qualities, and after listening, supposedly, you will begin to display those same qualities and other people will seem to automatically be drawn to you..


So, if you believe testimonials;

"The sessions really work. I had to recover from a loss of self-esteem and personal failure. They helped me to accept myself again and take greater pride in my work. The one on personal magnetism helped me tremendously to the point where I was almost afraid of how people became attracted to me and because of the power my personality had commanded." M.L., Michigan

My opinion-I haven't fully tested it yet, except to know what's on it...



Wendy Friesen's Magnetic Personality




Wendy takes a hypnotic approach to this, but uses breathing and visualization. The results she aims for is the type of magnetic attraction where someone from across will notice you.

Magnetism Irresistible!

Imagine if you could become magnetic and charismatic.
How would it feel to increase your confidence and have others
drawn to you, to be close to you, and feel your magnetism...

Some say this is the best program I have, because it really
seems to transform the way others see you. You will enjoy being irresistible. Just don't abuse your new power, ok?

I haven't located any real testimonials for this as yet, but here is a comment on it from another website;

The last guided meditation will be interesting for many , it is called - Irresistible You- Hypnosis for Magnetism, in that guided meditation you are asked to perform a series of mental exercises to boost your charisma, attraction toward the end of the track you are asked to picture yourself being more attractive with the special persons you are interested in.

I enjoyed my CD set, specially the track Circle of Excellence and the one for personal magnetism. But, once again I have to say , it is not passive listening , you must participate in the guided meditation. Practice at night when you are in bed this the best moment and work with at track during at least 12 days or more. 21 days is the best.

I haven't fully tested this one out yet, except to know what's on it-..


Wendi Friesen's Remote Seduction



This Cd program shows you how to seduce someone from a distance as well. Here is Wendi's claim;

This is an intriguing concept. Can you create a connection across the room or across the country with only thought and desire? Some think you can. Many people, who have used this, tell me they get almost instant results. Some say they get a phone call from a woman they haven't heard from in years. Others say they create a magnetic connection with a person in a bar. Like a magnet that person comes to them.

I have used this method to pull people toward me, in airports, at conventions, and even from miles away. This program will convince you that thoughts are things! Explore a wonderful and intriguing method of creating desire and appeal in your partner, or in a stranger you would like to meet. This method will give you an unconscious link with another person that will make them feel loved, wanted, and desired. Even if you have never met, you may notice that the recipient of your affection has a deeper interest in you, and feels very connected to you!

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Average Rating (From 1 Review):

Recommended From Tracey of Graceville, Florida on 9/15/2005.

I have used this CD more than once and it has worked well for me. I think that people are really getting the wrong impression about what this CD is for. It's a lot like someone talking up or down to you about yourself. You can either choose to let their opinion influence you in a positive or negative way, but the choice is still yours. It doesn't mean that someone is going to fall all over you just because they begin to think more about you. Or, if they did have that reaction, perhaps they were really into you and only needed a little encouragement.

I haved tried a version of this technique, and I got either strange results or a strange coincidence...


Psychic Seduction and Magnetic Attraction





This is an ebook with exercises and techniques that claim to do the following-

cause or make someone desire you from a far distance

Instantly seduce the opposite sex with your 'aura'

Seduce someone with just a handshake

Make people call you from a phone...

It uses visualizations, breathing exercises, and altered states meditation to achieve this goal... it even goes as far to rate the effectiveness based on past users ratings..

The focus for psychic seduction is to seduce someone from a distance and create attraction. They can be very-far-distance, or across-from-you-distance.

In this case, it is an 'across from you' distance;

When you are ready with the basic then you can start to experiment with psychic seduction techniques. One technique is called the Organ Heating Method another one is called the Aura Meld , I have used them both successfully with other techniques from the same e-book, I remember that it took me one week of training to master the Organ Heating Method. The successful attempt was made in a train, I was sitting at front of a non-smiling woman. I closed my eyes , I did the technique and when I opened my eyes to my amazement, she stared at me with a smile

The magnetic Attraction ebook pretty much covers the same techniques but focuses more on making yourself attractive to others in a way they will automatically sense. Instead going into an altered state they claim you can do simple energy techniques to achieve this, like this claim;

After I did this for 2 or 3 days, I actually "felt" very comfortable and pleasant vibrations all around me for about half an hour after I did this.

I also received a lot of stares, both friendly and shy (but more shy stares as gals here in India are quite orthodox) and it was quite amusing when I saw these girls talking and when I passed by, they stopped talking or moving and just looked straight at me emotionlessly, both of them as if they were zombies, and I always make it a point to smile at them as I pass by, although that gets them a little fidgety at times.

I once tried an experiment back in summer '07 using a technique simillar to what's in Psychic Seduction and Wendi's Irresistible You, but with some differences and some things I added on my own..

I decided to experiment with the concept of Remote Influence. I had already been experimenting with it with what seemed to me to be bizarre results, but I always made sure to not jump to conclusions and held a skeptical mind.

I decided to see if I could attract anyone, strangers- from a distance, and not only that but with a message, 'I just want to experience fun' .. I wasn't seeking any relationship at that time, the purpose was to test if it this works..

... my idea was that this would filter out anyone not interested in a short term relationship, and that would make it much more easier to see if this was genuine.

A little after 1 am in the morning, I listened to a deep delta wave recording, and then began a series of visualizations, but the main thing I did was just follow a simple technique from Silva called "broadcasting".

That is where an intent or message is broadcast to more than one person, no one in particular. The message was "I want a relationship", "I want to have fun, I want to feel"..

One of the things I added was to "modulate" the messages with breathing. I did a certain breathing technique to build up energy and then sent that energy with the message and into visualizations..

The very next day, while at my job, a customer came up to me to ask me a question about a product. Then a small conversation followed and then the customer immediately asked me if I were married.

Then that customer asked if I could follow out to the car, where I was asked to trade numbers and was asked if I was sure I wasn't giving out a fake!

Basically the customer said that it didn't have to be serious, we could just have fun...

Still after that, I still had a cautious, skeptical view of it, but with an open mind too. I'm still experimenting and looking into this...

Take care everybody...

Ganzfeld Goggles- Secret to Psychic Abilities?


I have a pair of Ganzfeld Goggles just like this;



There are claims that Ganzfeld goggles can help drive a person into a deep state of trance, and make meditation even deeper, because they block out all light and create a single field of vision that has been known to cause hallucinations.

They have also been used in experiments with E.S.P and the claim from some researchers is that they (prove) or nearly prove E.S.P exists.

ESP: One Step Forward, One Back

The credibility of ESP leaped forward in 1994 when a prestigious journal published by the American Psychological Association printed an article summarizing past studies of ESP as statistically convincing.

The type of experiment analysed was the one the U.S. government has identified as most promising: the ?Ganzfeld,? where the sender, in one room, stares at a photo or watches a video, while the receiver, in another room, wears colored goggles, relaxes with open eyes while free associating aloud.

The 1994 article was written by the late parapsychologist Charles Honorton and Cornell University psychologist Daryl Bem, giving it further credibility.

A step backward occurred recently as British researchers Julie Milton and Richard Wiseman have published an article in that same journal summarizing the earlier studies, plus all Ganzfeld studies completed since then, and found negative overall results.

In the ensuing debate, all sides agree that one or two large studies can sway the results of the overall average.

In fact, according to a report published in Science News, all agree that if the still newer studies, completed since the writing of the second article, were now included into the mix, the results would be positive.

And now there is a claim that these types of goggles can even help you lose weight-

from Ganzfeld Glasses: Magic Goggles for Losing Weight - Associated Content :

In this article I'm going to show you how you can create your own "magic glasses" that will put you into a very, very relaxed state of mind. You can put them on when you feel the urge to overeat. I guarantee that spending five minutes with them on will kill any desire you have to binge, AND you experience an awesome peaceful feeling inside to boot.

The Author says he will show you how to make these types of goggles and then use them to lose weight.

The instructions however are very simplistic, but maybe they work... still, using Ganzfeld while using hypnosis could still be a useful idea..

Hi Wolfgang, not too long ago, I used to very skeptical of auras. But now, lately I find myself a little more open minded and interested in them, more than ever.

When I think about the bio circuits, and actually being able to feel the energy circulate on a consistent basis, and the research that at least claims the aura can be photographed or measured, it restarted my interest in them.

Especially whenever I think about the 'experiments' I did with remote influencing. And I know Pranic Healing is based on using the aura, and it has been featured on the news and has a lot positive feedback.

The Perkl-light description is easier to understand and makes a better effort to explain exactly how it works. I wonder if there is some research to back it up.

Still, with the heavy-light pen one, I wish I could understand what in the world this site is saying, lol. Can you explain it for me and the other readers, and give us your take on it? Do you think it works?

I have been tempted to order one of those light pens. They "rephase" your water. Where that might mean getting the water to be better organized. And then also specific organization of the water that carries certain frequencies. I imagine the water being able to resonate with the light from the pen. The light being of a certain frequency (or mix of frequencies). Then the water's molecules arrange themselves to the frequencies in some stable way that acts like a memory. Then drinking this water, I suppose, gets these "vibes" into you and effects your energy (aura) body from the inside. I kind of think it would work.

The price is too much on them for me to play with. I can't seem to find info on what they really are made of, like a DIY manual on them.

Have a PhotoGraphic Memory, Become a Genious, Multiply Like a Calculator, Read Whole Pages at Once?


Photo Reading- Read Whole Pages at Once



There are some weird claims and stories with photoReading. Many of them are about stories of people who photoread a book, then later, when they needed the information, it spontaneously just came to them.

The basic claim is that you read the entire page at once, and not the individual words. You will not consciously see the words. But later, you can mentally call up any piece of information from what you read and use it for whatever you want.

Some people get creative ideas after photreading a book;

A PhotoReader forgot someone's name. He PhotoRead the telephone book and the name immediately came to him seconds after PhotoReading the page it was on.

A minister PhotoRead a section of the Bible before sleeping one evening. He dreamed about a Bible story and how it related to a problem in the life of one of his parishioners. He was able to use his insights to counsel the parishioner.

A home brewer PhotoRead a new book on beer-making. That night he dreamed of a new recipe which he later tried. It was his best batch yet.

An amateur chef found himself creating delicious new recipes after PhotoReading his library of cookbooks.

Others claim that information just came to them spontaneously:

A PhotoReader needed to jump start his car but could not remember the procedure. He had a "do-it-yourself" manual that he had PhotoRead months before. When he opened the book he instantly turned to the exact page that described the procedure. (Could be coincidence)

A salesperson from London PhotoRead a selection of books on self-esteem and confidence building, because his sales were low. He noticed an immediate change in his confidence, attitude, and sales.

A PhotoReader forgot someone's name. He PhotoRead the telephone book and the name immediately came to him seconds after PhotoReading the page it was on

An attorney found himself challenging an expert witness during cross-examination without a clear sense of why he was asking the questions. It became obvious as the expert witness' testimony unraveled. The attorney had PhotoRead books the evening prior, which contained facts contradicting those of the witness. At a conscious level, the attorney did not know the facts. From an other-than-conscious level, his mind had given him the guidance necessary to achieve his goal.

I have this course and the book, froma few years back, and I tried the exercise where you photoread the dictionary and then go back and find certain words and exactly where on the page they were.

Results- I have to say I was pretty accurate doing it, but I've still to be fully convinced.

Still, what makes PhotoReading different from regular speed reading are the claim that you can get creative ideas, dreams, and be able to spontaneously call up the information when you need it


Speed Reader X



This is another speed reading program, which others who aren't satisfied with Photoreading, claim it is the alternative to PhotoReading..


"Speed Reader-X is designed to make learning speed reading fast and easy. The system consists of 10 lessons. The lesson objective is explained before the lesson begins. You then practice the lesson using the software. As your eyes scan the text on the screen you are un-learning bad habits and learning new, good habits. You click the Next button, words flash and you begin to quickly overcome the roadblocks you were taught in school."

Pros: I saw the infomercials but was skeptical. Then I saw this demo which led me to the company site. I am a believer now. I thought it was a crock and was looking for a reason to slam it but after 2 weeks my reading speed has more than doubled. I wish I had tried it sooner.

Cons: The lessons and documentation were good but the bonus dvd was hard for me to use on macosx. It has a pc version only. The actual speed reader x software works on pc and macosx, but the bonus disk only works with pc. I used the demo with emulation but it did not work on the ebook disk, could just be me maybe someone else had better luck. Still well worth the price.

It's software and you can download a free demo from various sites..



EYEQ




You might have seen this one on late night TV.

This one claims you can read ten times faster than normal:

Read two, five, or even 10 times faster than you do right now
Learn and master new concepts in record time
Dramatically enhance your ability to concentrate
Improve your memory and sharpen your focus
Utilise far more of your brain’s capacity for high-speed

And these are the supposed after benefits you can have:

You could blast through your entire email in-box in a matter of minutes — with a perfect understanding and recall of every single message.

You could absorb everything from memos, reports, and contracts to magazine articles and whole books and novels, in a fraction of the amount of time it takes you now and with much greater comprehension.

You could read all those novels you’ve been meaning to get to when you “find the time” and get so much more enjoyment out of them than you ever would have before.

This too is software, and there have been some complaints with this program, and others swear by it at the same time.

It was a life changer.


8/14/2006 - Joshua of Arizona, USA writes:

Eye Q is about devoting more than just 7 minutes to helping improve your reading speed. I did the program, as was suggested, and I now read steadily at 1200WPM with detailed comprehension of the material I read. The most important thing to remember is to practice inbetween lessons using the comprehension tests and the reading speed tests.

Always do the extra lessons featured in the software, and follow the instructions step by step. Since finishing this program, I can soar right through even my mother's Gleim CPA Review books and remember important information about things I don't normally have interest in. The most essential lesson you are taught by Eye Q is to pick out information. Not everything you read in a book is something you need to remember. The majority of a technical book is fluff. And Eye Q helps you train your eyes and brain to detect relevant information quickly and to remember that information.

Harry Lorayne's Super Power Memory-Have a Better Than Photographic Memory?




Harry Lorayne is a former magician and memory expert. He lectures and has written several books on having a perfect memory.

From Wikipedia:

To show his amazing memory power, Harry Lorayne would stand beside the president of the club he was visiting and be introduced to each member. The number of members of a club could reach up to 1,500.

After an hour and a half, Lorayne would speak about memory for about 20 minutes and then ask if anyone had a question.

He promised that if he couldn't greet the questioner by name, he would pay him or her $1,000. Amazingly, he remembered the names of every member of the audience.[citation needed] Lorayne also made news by memorizing and recalling information from several phone books with 100% retention

I think the last time I read the book and listed a number of items that I recalled, was around September of last year, about 7 months ago.

I haven't read the list since then! So I'm going to list them, from memory again and see if this method really works;

Carpet, Paper, Bottle, Bed, Fish, Chair, Window, Telephone,Cigaratte, Nail,Typewriter, Shoe,Microphone..


Ok, that's what I get, if it's right, 100% then this is a keeper, if just a little right, it's still a keeper, and if I'm way off, I'll just take Ginko from now on....

I've tried hypnosis, paraliminals, and subliminals, and this method in my opinion, absolutely works..

I prefer Lorayne's method, the items are burned into your memory and easily recalled.

The book is funny, easy to read and understand. If you try it, you can begin memorizing whole lists in minutes, at least, that was my experience.

Here's a video demonstration using a cute 5 year old..

He has authored several programs and says he can teach you to do the exact same things he does...he has several books out, so his method should be easy to come by.

I intend to experiment with his method too, to see if it really works...I'm gonna be a jenyus, just wach, I mean watch!

Strange Manifesting Techniques


How To Get Lot's Of Money For Anything Fast - 100% Success Rate?





I posted on this one before.

I posted again because of so much interest in manifesting on this forum, and this is a strange 'manifesting' technique. It's more technical, doesn't involve L.O.A.

It involves being specific with what you want, and writing it out a certain number of times, everyday. You can even set a specific date (the book encourages you to) and the goal will happen by or before that date - so the book claims.

The author Stuart Lichtman, claims that there is a 99% success rate with the 50,000 people he taught this to, and then says the other 1% were able to get what they wanted when they went back and corrected some things!

That's a big claim, but I like his technical approach and success tracking.

What I also like about this method is that the actual goal is up to you, so depending on what your goals are, you can try it out.

Supposedly, if you want to meet a person for a relationship by a certain date, you can use this method. You can even describe the features, personality, type of body.

The choice of goal is totaly open to the user.

So if I decided that I wanted to 'astral project' for example and by a certain date, I can simply choose that.

That can also mean some of the stranger things that people think about on here can be tried out using this method.

Anxiety Disorder Used To Make My Life Hell

Anxiety Disorder Used To Make My Life Hell until I developed a strong desire to get rid of it.
Don’t get me wrong, anxiety is bad enough, but I really woke up when it became a matter of being able to go to college or not. There was no way anxiety disorder was gonna keep me from college


Call it law of attraction but I received a spam email in my spam folder which for some reason I chose to read. As it turns out I needed money for college as well, so when I saw the link that read “how to get money for anything fast” I was quick to click on it. The site page was a long one so I saved it and came back to it later; my desire for college money was very strong as well.

I merely browsed the page but based on the testimonials and other claims I realized that there was more to this thing than just making money. I painstakingly read the whole page and by the time I was done, I somewhat believed that this “Cybernetic Transposition Method” that they talked about could help me get rid of my anxiety disorder. I closed the page, but I just couldn’t get the idea out of my mind.

Immediately I began reading. Stuart shares his story about how he came to develop the method and getting a co-author (Joe Vitale) and such. The next day I got into the meat of the process. Over a period of two weeks I did the basic Cybernetic Transposition Method process which isn’t as hard or complicated as it sounds.

I can’t share all the details of how I first tested that my Anxiety Disorder was gone but i’ll say this. I placed myself in a situation that I usually could not have been in without intense anxiety, shaking of my entire body including my head, palpating heart - total anxiety meltdown ok. This was an amazing day for me because when I placed myself in that situation I began to actually look for my anxiety and it was nowhere to be found. As much as I was working towards it being gone, I still braced myself for an attack, but it never came.

I then tested on softer grounds. I went to church - no anxiety. I went downtown and took public transportation - no anxiety. I walked around town and said “hi” to people - no anxiety. The beast of my anxiety was gone. The meat of the anxiety disorder matter no longer existed within me. I left the country, went to college, lived on campus but experienced no anxiety.

I have the book/course. I bought a few years ago, but was too lazy to actually fully test it out. At that time, I was more into collecting programs than really trying them out.

The method was so technical, that I found it off putting at first. But a friend at that time lost a job. So I taught it to her.

The method requires you to describe specificly what you want, so I told her to speficily list what she wanted in her new job. She described the hours she wanted, the type of boss she wanted (nice, not looking over shoulder) environment, salary (more than her previous job).

She also set a date for it.

After two months of writing her goal, on the very day before the date of her story, she got the job she wanted, with almost all the features she described, hours, type of boss (he was hardly ever there) and salary almost matched, (more than her previous job).

It did take some rewriting and rechecking, and I was even ready to suggest something else, but a few days later, she got it.

What happened? Her former boss, met someone who needed someone with the same skills she had.

He recommended her, and he agreed, and said if she came in, she would be hired..this occured pretty much one day before the deadline she wrote...

Proof?, really not sure, only interesting...


Like I said, the method is very technical, almost confusing, here is a review from someone who read the book:

Amitabh Bose from San Jose, CA.
Review Title:: Stuart Lichtman Has a Good Subject but is a Bad Author.
2 Stars Review: Do not really go in for Stuart Lichtman's book. It is so technically written that you will have to do the Advanced Course to actually understand and apply the book. The author is self congratulatory in his approach throughout the book and loses the content somewhere.


)

Here are some testimonials for the book itself:

The Money Came a Week in Advance...
"At the beginning of the month I did a CT (Cybernetic Transposition) Basic 3-Step exercise for a financial goal of $25,000.00 in gross profits on or before March 31, 2003. Well I hit that goal last Friday March 21, 2003! I wanted to share that success with you. You can pass along my story if you like to, with first name only please."- Robert



'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." (Name deleted by Nightdiamond)

Another strange offering from Stuart is his advanced program for "seemingly impossible" goals. The more impossible it seems to you, the more his advanced method can help you achieve it, Stuart claims.


My opinion; if I had not shared this with someone else, I might not have enough real evidence to say it works right now... I remain a bit skeptical, but still, it seems very interesting..

I actually have that ebook lying around. The problem with it is that its so friggin' boring, all technical, no stories etc. Seriously, I start getting getting sleepy when I've read about 10 pages. If anyone wants to cure insomnia, read this book

I know, had the same reaction, which is why I barely tried it, then put it away. You're not the only one, in fact a big criticism of this book is that it is written so damn technically, it intimidates some people, or they just can't understand it.



There are some interesting examples of people getting what they wanted by a certain date, including the author, in the book, but it's easy to miss because of so many technical wordings.

However, I did read through it enough to be able to show my friend how to do it.


She first tested it out by attempting to get a loan as her goal. She told me one day a friend just came up to her and told her about a bank that gives loans. So I assumed she must have mentioned that she was looking for a loan, but she said no, she didn't tell anyone about it.

From that, I thought this MIGHT be worth a try..

On some other forums, I found some references, independent of Stuart's Lichtman's site, that talk about his book, How To Get Lots Of Money For Anything Fast.

I posted these because I realize that testimonials from a site promoting something, aren't exactly the same as independent accounts;

andrewpeacock Posted - 12/13/2007 : 04:15:51

I read it when it came out, and actually used a sub-section he includes about finding a date, as I was single at the time. It involved writing down all the attributes/qualities you love in people you've dated/known/fantasised about/seen on tv/read in books/etc. I had just over a page of items, so I guess around 40?

Within 3 months I met a women, asked her out, it worked, not we're settled down with a kid and having a great relationship even when things have been tough. She fulfilled - get this - all but one of those qualities....

I really should try those techniques for money :-)Andy

I read it back in 2005 or 2004 and it was very hard for me to understand at the time. But I think I can understand the content better today with more maturity on my end.

His method does work but be prepared for the content. He is an MIT grad and very intelligent man, it was beyond me at the time.

What can I say about this technique...

It's very intense experientially - the creative/manifestation process seems to happen very fast and in seemingly magical ways - situations and meetings happening that are obviously not coincidental but could be perceived as coincidental.

It takes a lot of hard work so far to carry out the instructions well. I've always given up on my super-achievement target in terms of carrying on doing the work required, but most of the time, I've managed to achieve what I wanted either in a different time frame or through some other means



........It is very powerful. Have been through it may be 3 times in 5 years. I used to feel I somehow wasn't getting it right, but this time I did the excercise to my own satisfaction which is something.

HI ALL...Stuart has a way of removing anything that stands between where one is and what one desires to achieve. For me it felt awkward and unwieldy in the beginning. I decided to join his SACP teleconference course in which he guides each of us step-by-step through it. He makes it easy and doable. Good decision on my part (thank you Formless for guiding me in that direction).
Yes, it may seem confusing at first. It is also well worth the time and effort invested. Many have been self-sabotaging without even knowing it, or without even knowing where to look in order to quit doing that.

I did SOGR for Practical Geniuses first, before Stuart's CT. That helped enormously because I still used the tools and skills I acquired there.
Best of Life to all of you in achieving the success you desire................dd

And like so many there are lots of complaints about how hard it is to follow, even when people like the book;

Hi David

Firstly let me say Stuart is extremely generous with all the add-ons he provides - and he answers emails personally. His approach is very sound and borrows a lot from Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).

However I found the instructions rather difficult to follow from the e-book/s. I'm going to give it all another go soon, but in the meantime SOGR is bringing great results, so I'm concentrating on that. In particular, after doing the Genius course, I've found Rebecca's tapes/CDs of SOGR to be of enormous benefit. A lot of things just "clicked" more clearly.Best wishesHeather

Incredible Tea Helps People Tap into The Law of Attraction, Bringing Them Their Life's Desires Effortlessly




Ok, Wolfgang what do you think of this one? lol


The maker of this tea claims if you drink it, it will help you manifest, via the law of attraction..

Dear Friend,

My name is Charlene Breitlow and I have developed a delicious & powerful tea that I would like to share with you. This tea was created after 30 years of extensive work in the field of energy medicine.


........I have used my tea with clients for several years now and the results are nothing short of amazing. Click Here for the testimonials. We measured their energy levels before and after, and the energy levels after drinking my Personal Energy Tea were on average 30-60% higher!

It seems that it works by the user drinking the tea, while making their request or intention. It then happens, as according to these "testimonials"; You just drink it for 21 days, while expressing your intention, and your desires will manifest.

"I used the Personal Energy Tea program to focus on finding a loving relationship. During my 21 days of sipping tea I received an e-mail from a classmate who was living in Idaho.

He had found her online thru their high school reunion committee. Unfortunately he was unable to attend the reunion and inquired if she had traveled to Wisconsin for the party. She replied to the email and they began communicating which lead to making plans to meet up in Seattle. They are now traveling and living together....happy and in love!"

"I was feeling very frustrated with my boss when I heard about Personal Energy Tea. I jumped at the chance to manifest a change. I had specifically asked for someone to replace my boss. I had the desire for a new boss that would be a team player and appreciate my people skills. On the 9th day of drinking Personal Energy Tea, my boss informed me that she was giving her notice to leave the company!

I now have a wonderful new boss with better communication skills."

This one seems even crazier than the others, but then, who's to say?

It may work just because we are a gullible lot. hehe. Giving ourselves self placebos. And testimonials are filtered to make the placebo take root. But then again, herbs can do some interesting things to the body.

I wished to find the ingredients of the tea but I don't think they publish that.

All you need to do is sip the tea while visualizing the outcome you want. The process is repeated every day for 21 consecutive days. This creates a positive life energy pattern, while stimulating synchronistic events, thus bringing your desires to fruition.

This part, however, seems like a procedure that if anyone did this, with or without the tea, would become more aligned with their goals. How often do people spend 21 days visualizing their outcome? I guess LoA people already do that. So the tea may be a motivation to follow through with that discipline.
