The Holidays are a time of celebration, family and joy – right? Well, for some folks that's true, but we all know the holidays can be a point-blank bullet for others. From big things like a loss in the family, health problems or divorce, to smaller things like money constraints or stressful family gatherings can all give the blues too big a boost right about now.
So let's not make ‘denial‘ just a river in Egypt. We don't live in the painted-smile la-la land of TV commercials and shopping mall Christmas musak. Here in the real world, the holidays aren't bright for everyone, but anyone can throw a lifeline to someone in need.
Whether you've got holiday sadness creeping into your mood, or you've noticed a Grinch creeping around the office, here are 7 Lifelines that ring with the true spirit of Christmas.
1. A kind word
Reaching out to another in ‘soft' and simple way can uplift you and the other person. A cup of coffee, a compliment on their dress, or a friendly word are all tiny gestures that can go a long way toward the shores of holiday cheer.
2. Exercise
When you exercise two things happen – you get your mind onto other things and you get your ‘feel good' chemicals (endorphins) kicked into action. This is even more important if you're way of coping with the blues is with too much sleep.
3. Curiosity may have killed the cat but …
When you stop believing the unhappy thoughts running circles through your mind and just start watching them – like a curious scientist watching an experiment – they quickly lose their power. Don't believe me? Get curious and try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised!
4. Keep it simple, smarty (K.I.S.S.)
The decorations, the baking, the cooking, the too-much spending, the last-minute, gotta-get-one-more-thing will drive anyone nuts. So why do we think it's okay during the time of year when we're supposed to relax and take a break? The social pressure to give is blown out of proportion by marketers who want you to buy, not by the peeps you want to gift. So get some perspective, tone down the spending and go for simple, thoughtful gifts. Overextending your credit is sure-fire formula for a very unhappy new year.
5. Give, give, give
No, not stuff. Give your time, your love, your intention. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, offer food to a food drive, donate a toy, write a letter of thanks to 5 people you appreciate, help out at a nursing home, or read a book to kids at the local library. There are tons of ways to give that cost pennies but are worth millions – to you and to those whom you gift. BTW: statistics have shown that there are way too many old folks forgotten during the holidays. Your visit WILL be appreciated.
6. Picky, picky, picky …
is okay, okay, okay when it comes to who you spend your time with. You have every right – in fact, an obligation to yourself – to be with those you can feel good around.
7. "Attitude of Gratitude"
When all else fails – and even if it doesn't, and even if it isn't the holidays – you can never go wrong with gratitude. Make a list of 30 things you appreciate in your life. If you do, not only will you feel a whole lot better, you'll probably find another 30!
The Silva Method, Silva Life System and Silva Intuition Training - sharing these is a joy. It's so uplifting and rewarding to see people learn the skills and techniques, apply them in their lives and increase their fulfillment and happiness. I am privileged to work with Silva Graduates in a coaching relationship.

Are You a Maximized Thinker?
By Mandy Bass
Ten Powerful Questions to Shape Up Your RAS + Maximize Your Thinking
As you know, your subconscious mind can be a powerful ally or an overpowering foe. Because 90% of human behavior is unconscious, the difference is almost always how we filter and access information.
It is fascinating to consider that every second, approximately 2 million bits of information flood your nervous system, even when you sleep.
At the same time you have your own internal dialogue and other people's "programming" running through your mind... that is a lot of activity to manage -- so your unconscious has to be effiicient!
You process incoming information through your internal senses: pictures you create in your head, sounds you hear inside, feelings, smells and tastes.
As a master in information management, it quickly deletes what appears to be unimportant, distorts things to fit into nice, neat paradigms that already exist, and generalizes to avoid perceptual overload. The physical processor in your brain that decides what information to let in and what to filter out is called the reticular activating system (RAS).
Programming your "RAS," will give you control of a powerful subconscious ally that can help you find solutions to problems and expose you to the people, situations and information that can help you achieve your goals.
Here is how RAS works:
Ever shopped for a car? Gotten the brochures, checked out the dealers, kept copies of the flyers in your home and office so you could look at them again and again?
Suddenly, you see that car everywhere - in commercials, on the road, in the parking lot where you work. Now that car was always there - but your intense interest in it activated your RAS which then began to "see" that car.
Now here's the amazing yet ever so simple secret:
You can program the RAS and activate the subconscious mind through the power of asking the right questions -- repeatedly.
Yes, it is that simple. By learning HOW to ask the right questions, your unconscious mind automatically searches for the answer.
This can work for you by helping you find ways to get to your goals and solve problems. Or it can work against you to reinforce limiting beliefs and negative thinking. When you develop the ability to "think as a maximized thinker," and ask the right questions, you immediately upgrade your ability to create what YOU desire -- the BEST of what you desire.
Not second best ... not almost what you desire... the BEST of what you desire.
This works because you upgrade your own perception filter which in turn changes your reality.
In other words you awaken the genius within to give you the answers you need.
One of the greatest tools in the Silva Life Systems is also the simplest: The Glass of Water Technique.
It activates your RAS to find solutions to specific problems. You can also use this technique to expand your horizons by asking "maximized questions."
TEN Powerful Maximized Questions to Shape up Your RAS
What three things can I enjoy doing today to get me to my goal of ____________? (Be very specific with your questions! The answers for earning $5,000 per month are different to those of making $30,000 per month. The answers for improving your relationship with your lover are different than improving your relationship with your children.)
In what powerful and interesting way can this (specific) situation make my life better/ more fulfilling?
In what joyful and creative ways can I make more money/ find a better job/ enjoy better health/ improve my relationship etc.?
What baby step can I do right now to get this project off the ground?
Given the circumstances, what specifically do I want as a result this situation?
In what delightful ways can other people benefit?
What would my ideal life/business look like?
What three things am I really good at?
How can I make the most of this?
Out of all the wonderful things in my life, what am I most grateful for?

Can You Turn One Red Paper Clip Into a House? YES
Can you turn a paper clip into a house?
Yes, this is a 'trick question' similar to: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!
Take a few minutes to watch this video and you'll see that this young man did exactly turn a paper clip into a house...not by 'magic' but my desire, intention, focus, belief and expectancy. Let's don't forget action too!
I'd love to have a conversation with you about HOW his situation mirrors using Silva techniques and follow through.
What are you going to manifest in 2011?

Put the Glass Down
by Ken Coscia
How much does a 6 oz glass of water REALLY weigh? If you hold it for a few seconds or even a minute, it weighs hardly anything at all.
Hold it for an hour or more and it is a completely different experience. In fact, it is just a matter of time before you injure yourself or lose your capacity to hold onto the glass at all. The longer we hold onto things - objects, burdens, negative emotions-- the heavier they become and the harder they are to carry.
But if you put what you are holding down and allow yourself to rest periodically, you can regenerate, rejuvenate and increase your capacity to cope with the burdens of life. Before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Leave it there. You can pick it up tomorrow - or not.
If there is something worrying you now, let it go for a few moments by taking an Alpha break. Allow yourself access to the flow of creative solutions that are always available to you.
We live in a time of extraordinary opportunities and significant challenges. We know that whatever we focus on, we give energy to and whatever we give energy to, grows.
What are you giving your energy to? Are you creating the life of your own design by staying focused on what you truly want?
All great Achievers acknowledge a gap between where they are and where they want to be. Actually it is the first step to growth, the starting point of achievement. Perhaps your business or career is strong, but your intimate relationships are lacking. Or maybe your relationships are flourishing, but your personal Finances or physical vitality are suffering.
We all have areas of our lives that demand more focus. Participating in a Silva Method Program is like peeling layers of an onion. There is a continuous unfolding and integration of your unique potential.
Each time you practice, you deepen your awareness and the tools get progressively easier to use.
Your positive Focus is enhanced and you bring into your life more of what your heart desires. You review the course... for the transformation (physically, mentally, & spiritually) that the training affords you. Put your burdens to rest, improve your focus, tap into your heart's desire and put the power of Silva back into your life by participating in the next Silva Method Seminar in your area.

Is Your Programming Focused on the "Right Things"?
Many thanks to Ed Bernd for the following:
Much of the information that you see on the internet about programming focuses on the wrong things. If you are doing things for selfish reasons, why should anybody want to help you?
Graduates often called or wrote to us asking for guidance and help. We consulted with Jose and Juan Silva on these questions, and often asked them to review what we wrote before we sent it.
Here is a question from a Silva graduate, and the type of response that Jose Silva would typically tell us to:
Q: I am a Silva graduate from Bombay, India. Jose Silva's success story is something unique and truly inspiring.
I suppose successes vary between individuals. I feel that some people are able to go far with the techniques while others do average. I firmly believe that everyone benefits, though.
Some of my projects have been going on for quite some time. I suppose if one does not achieve some things, the method teaches you to accept the situation and go far in other areas.
On the other hand, it is difficult for me to believe that one cannot achieve almost anything with the method. Probably, we require more work at the objective level if we don't achieve things that we programmed for. Also, repeating the seminar whenever one gets a chance, helps to keep one's belief system firm.
I felt like sharing my views with you and would be happy to hear from you.
A: You have good insight and understanding. Congratulations on your successes.
In every field of endeavor, some people do better than others. This is natural. And it applies to the Silva Method as well.
Remember the standard things:
Establish your level
1. Practice the Long Relaxation Exercise at least once a week.
Really get involved in it; don't just "go through the motions," but really relax, both physically and mentally.
It is easiest to do this when you do it on your own. You can use an audio cassette tape to guide you until you memorize it. Or someone who has completed the Silva Ultra Seminar can read it to you. But once you learn how to do it, then do it on your own,
You do not want to become automated, you want to get totally involved and actually do everything you are instructed to do.
Nobody else knows how much you need to relax, or what body parts you needs to relax. You know better than anyone else. Nobody else knows how badly you are hurting, or what you need to work on, the way that you do.
Fulfill your responsibility
2. Use your newfound abilities to help correct problems.
That is, work health cases, and help people who need help whenever you come across them.
Mr. Silva believes that this is why we were sent to earth: to correct problems. If you are not using your mind and your mental abilities to correct problems, then you may lose the ability that you have developed.
If you only use these abilities to help yourself, you probably won't get help from the "other side," from whoever has been assigned by higher intelligence to help us.
If you are only out to help yourself, then you may find that nobody else is going to have much interest in helping you.
The more people you help, the more help you will receive from high intelligence on the other side, when you need it.
Mr. Silva advises that any programming you do should benefit at least two other people, or more.
Follow the feedback
3. Let your results guide you as to how to proceed. This will keep you on the right course.
Don't give up too quickly, of course, but do not continue to fight a project when all the signs indicate that this is not the correct thing for you to be working on.
Jose Silva says that we don't batter down doors. Give the door a big push, and try it a couple more times, but if it just won't open, then back off and look around for another door. And sometimes, we find that we should be going into a different room anyway (change your methods, or even change your goals).
When you program, look for feedback, to let you know how you are doing.
It is the same as when you work health cases: You report everything that you experience while working the case, and the orientologist then tells you which information can be confirmed. You then use this information to establish points
of reference so that you will be more accurate in the future.
When you program, you are not certain whether you are really communicating in the subjective dimension, or just fantasizing. A fantasy won't produce results. Programming at level will.
Your results will let you know whether you were fantasizing, or actually communicating. Just like working health cases, when the feedback lets you separate the guesses from the information that you actually detect.
If you program for something and you don't see something happen within the next few days, then go to your level and analyze the situation and figure out what else you can do.
On the other hand, if something happens - the situation improves in some way, some opportunity presents itself, etc., then do more of what you were doing.
If the situation gets worse, then you know you are heading in the wrong direction, and you make a change.
You might change how you program, or how long you spend on the project, or which technique you use. You might even change your goal.
The feedback you get will let you know what to do, and how to proceed.
Participate in a support system
4. Work with other Silva Method graduates.
Organize a support system. You can meet, or phone one another, or email each other - do whatever you need to do to form a support system.
When you help other people, and they help you, then several things happen:
*You will get to know each other so well that you will be able to make very good suggestions to each other.
*Other people will notice things about you that you do not notice about yourself - if you knew all the answers, you wouldn't have the problems, so they can often see answers that we don't see in yourselves.
*And when you have helped one another, you will all build up so much desire to help each other, that you will all achieve your goals much faster.
Desire is the force that propels us towards our goals, and the stronger it is, the quicker we will reach those goals. With enough desire, anything is possible.
Be realistic
Jose Silva also advises us to work on projects that are within the "possibility area."
For instance, we do not really believe that we are suddenly going to sprout wings and fly, just because we imagine it at level. That is not within the possibility area.
Somebody with little experience cannot reasonably expect to become president of a big company next week. That is not within the possibility area.
You can take things one step at a time until that big goal is within the possibility area.
That doesn't mean to make your goals too small - once again, let your results guide you. If you are not getting any results, analyze the situation at your level; you may decide to program for a smaller goal. If you get it, that success provides the confirmation that you were correct in your analysis.

Not Just For Humans Anymore – Animals Have Spiritual Experiences Too
Not Just For Humans Anymore – Animals Have Spiritual Experiences Too
from the FinerMinds blog
Does your cat contemplate the cosmos? Does your dog desire the divine? Apparently some brain researchers think so. Like us, they may experience awe, wonder, and other mystical moments.
For all you animal lovers out there, this story is sure to inspire an even deeper appreciation for your beloved pets.
What evidence have you seen with Rover or Spot that confirms for you their spiritual natures? Drop us a comment and let us know. (BTW: did you know chimps sometimes trance-dance? See what Primatologist Jane Goodall has to say about it!)
Animals said to have spiritual experiences: Ever have an out-of-body experience? Your dog may have too by Jennifer Viegas of Discovery News
Animals (not just people) likely have spiritual experiences, according to a prominent neurologist who has analyzed the processes of spiritual sensation for over three decades.
Research suggests that spiritual experiences originate deep within primitive areas of the human brain — areas shared by other animals with brain structures like our own.
The trick, of course, lies in proving animals’ experiences.
