Communicating with Higher Intelligence

Welcome to another edition of the SIGA Success Strategies online magazine.

In this issue we will get a glimpse of how Jose Silva's understanding evolved in regards to communicating with higher intelligence.

Mr. Silva said that "All scientific conclusions are semi-conclusions. You get a more powerful telescope, a more powerful microscope, you can learn more."

Here is something he wrote several years before he developed the UltraMind ESP System and the revolutionary MentalVideo Technique, which gave him what he had long sought: A reliable way to obtain information, help, and guidance from higher intelligence.

Here is the early concept regarding how we get help from the other side... the "semi-conclusion" from Jose Silva:

(Editors Note: When more of the picture was revealed to him, he realized that we must go even deeper than we can go consciously, because we need to use the "Delta Doorway" to the other side to communicate with higher intelligence...)


by Jose Silva

I believe that we were placed on this planet for a purpose.

Whoever put us here must have had some reason. Whoever put us here, I refer to as higher intelligence...So what am I supposed to do while I am here? There must be some reason I am here. What should I be doing?

It makes sense that if somebody sent me here, it would probably be to help correct problems. That is our reason for being here, our purpose in life. Here is why I believe this:

HELP CORRECT PROBLEMS

It seems like we haven't finished the evolutionary process yet. We are still inventing things to make life better, and there seems to be more that needs to be done. So perhaps I'm here to correct problems.

That does make sense doesn't it? If you are employed by somebody, they employ you to do a good job. If you do a good job they pay you for it. If you don't do a good job, they'll quit paying you for it, won't they?
If you do an outstanding job, they'll promote you. They will give you more responsibilities - and more pay. You will enjoy life that much more, you will get more satisfaction.

The more problems you solve, the more rewards you are going to get. It sure seems to work like that, in life as well as in business.

CAUSE AND EFFECT

What happens if we are creating problems?

I am out there creating problems, why should higher intelligence even want me around?

Maybe that's why people who create problems end up having so many problems. Maybe not at first, but sooner or later that law of cause-and-effect seems to balance out.

This approach has worked for me for my entire life. And it has worked for Silva Method graduates who apply it for more than a quarter of a century.

When you program to correct problems, and keep in mind what your needs are, plus a little bit more, then you will get everything you need to continue to be successful and happy.

FINDING YOUR PURPOSE

If you want to know how to carry out your purpose in life, then enter your level and ask. You will get answers.
It is important to ask at deep levels. Practice the Long Relaxation Exercise (Silva Centering Exercise) - relaxing parts of your body, then relaxing your mind, until you are very deeply relaxed both physically and mentally.

From this deep level, you will get in touch with your "higher self" as some people call it. I call it the other side. On the other side - in the spiritual dimension - I believe that there are beings who have been assigned to help us.
These beings are not limited by time and space the way that we are. They have access to more information than we do. They can formulate better plans than we can.

So enter your level. Deepen that level by using any of the deepening exercises as you learned in the course (relaxation, countdowns, etc.)
And ask what you should be doing here.

Find something to do that is of a constructive and creative nature, then do it, and all things will be added unto you.

Afformations – A New Approach to Positive Thinking

Positive Affirmations Don’t Work For You? 
Try Afformations — The New Approach to Positive Thinking


by FinerMinds Team  June 18, 2010

Positive affirmations are positive statements that you exclaim everyday to manifest in your daily life. Lot’s of people use it to start the day or to get what they want. But for some, these affirmations don’t do anything more than create unfulfilled desires.

If this sounds familiar and you find positive affirmations don’t really work for you, Noah St. John is about to share with you his 4-step process of Positive Afformation to turn this around and help you manifest your daily desires effectively (and no, we didn’t spell that wrong!) :)

Find out what positive afformation is, learn how to apply it to your life…and when you’re done with this exercise, let us know what your afformations are in the comment box below.


Afformations – A New Approach to Positive Thinking

by Noah St. John, Ph.D.

If you’ve ever read a self-help book, you know that traditional success teachers have told you to say “affirmations” – positive statements that you’d like to be true. For example, a classic “affirmation” is: “I am rich.”
Try it. Say “I am rich.”
What just happened? Did you hear a voice in your head that said: “Yeah, right!”?
There’s only one problem with “affirmations”: they really don’t work for most people. Why? Because you’re trying to convince yourself of something you don’t really believe.

Have you ever been persuaded to try “affirmations”… and then had absolutely nothing happen?

Me too. And about a gazillion other people.

Noah St. John is the #1 bestselling author of The Secret Code of Success: 7 Hidden Steps to More Wealth and Happiness (published by HarperCollins).
You may have seen Noah on CNN, ABC, NBC, and in The Washington Post. Appearing in over 2,500 media outlets, he’s the world’s most-quoted expert on how to take out your head trash.

Read the first 3 chapters of The Book of Afformations FREE at http://www.afformations.com/

One morning in April 1997, I was in the shower, thinking about how the human mind works. I realized that human thought IS the process of asking and searching for the answer to QUESTIONS. For example, if I asked you, “Why is the sky blue?”, your mind would start searching for the answer.

So I asked myself a logical question: “If the human mind is always asking and searching for answers to QUESTIONS, why are we going around saying statements we don’t even believe? Why don’t we cut out the middleman?

Take the “affirmation” “I am rich” – to which the brain replies “Yeah, right!” What would the QUESTION be?
“Why am I so rich?”
Try it. Ask yourself: “Why am I so rich?”
What’s your brain doing right now? Searching for an answer to the QUESTION!
The staggering realization I made that morning in April 1997 was that you create your reality in two ways: by the statements you say to yourself and others, and by the questions you ask yourself and others. Until then, no one had fully realized, or shown how to harness, the awesome power of what happens when you ASK EMPOWERING QUESTIONS.
And that’s why I named my discovery The Afformations Method.

Mental Housecleaning


"Language shapes our behavior and each word we use is imbued with multitudes of personal meaning. The right words spoken in the right way can bring us love, money and respect, while the wrong words-or even the right words spoken in the wrong way-can lead to a country to war. We must carefully orchestrate our speech if we want to achieve our goals and bring our dreams to fruition."  
-Dr. Andrew Newberg, Words Can Change Your Brain

The Silva Method changed my life - for the better and better and better than I ever thought possible. 'Mental Housecleaning' was probably more important to that change - and continuing growth - as any individual technique.

Why? Because I found that by paying attention to the words and phrases I use, I become aware of the underlying thinking process ... my beliefs, my perspectives, my overall attitude about life.

As I become aware of those underlying thoughts and beliefs I am empowered to change myself. The knowledge allows me to accept or reject what had previously been unthinking, automatic.

As I listen to my words, what I'm saying, I sometimes hear things that surprise me. Yes, I know, I said those words but I may be startled because they're coming from deep-rooted beliefs and thinking patterns I'm not even aware are there!

When I identify a previously 'unknown' way of thinking, I'm then empowered to accept or change it.  How? By using Cancel Cancel and then deliberately choosing new words which are appropriate to the situation and match the way I choose to believe, think and act.

By doing this consistently ... yes, sometimes I 'slip' ... I'm re-training my mind in a conscious, deliberate way.

Tony Robbins calls this 'Transformational Vocabulary'. Jose Silva called it 'Mental Housecleaning'. 

I call it Empowerment! 

Better and Better,
Barbara

How to Reduce Your Stress Quickly and Easily


STRESS - perhaps the biggest challenge we face today ... not the causes of it but the stress itself with all its 'fallout' such as high blood pressure, poor sleep, anxiety and so many other things.

Graduates of the Silva Method courses have a real advantage when it comes to handling stress, it's effects and the situations that have led to it.

For those of you who may have forgotten and for those of you who haven't yet taken Silva courses, let me offer a process that I know works well.

First, identify a thought that's causing or feeding your stress. Usually this is a thought about situations over which you have no direct control.

    Write down this thought, just the thought.

Now draw a big X through the statement and write Cancel, Cancel over it. Yes, it's messy but we're not producing an artwork here!

Using an introductory phrase such as "I love how I feel when ...." or "I wonder how glorious it is going to be when..." or I can't wait to experience..." or an equivalent phrase....

     Now write down a statement that is the direct opposite of the first, stressful thought. This is a thought that produces a calmer, more happy feeling.

Then it's time to use your Silva programming skills to change your feelings at an even deeper level AND to change the stress-inducing situation.

Express gratitude for your new experience. 

When you finish, take a deep breath and enjoy a very large smile. Really feel GOOD - physically, mentally and emotionally - as you know that you're on your way to a better and better life! 

If you need some help doing this, send me an email. I'd love to help!

Better & Better,
Barbara Hawkins

How to Be Your Own Psychic

     In this article, Jose Silva urges us to stop paying commercial psychics when we are perfectly capable of doing it for ourselves.by Jose Silva

     You don't need to pay a commercial psychic to tell you about your past.

     You can learn to be your own psychic and make correct decisions for your future.

     "Psychic hotlines" have become very popular in the United States, with hundreds of thousands of people every week paying almost $5 per minute to talk to the telephone psychics.

     For a flat fee, you can probably find a local psychic that you can go see in person.

PSYCHIC AUTHORITY

     We know both kinds. They call us here at Silva International because they know that we have conducted more research on psychics than anybody else, and more importantly, we understand the process so well that we can train anyone to be a psychic.

     We've had telephone psychics admit to us that they often just listen and provide comfort to callers. Many times, the callers want an audience more than they want an answer.

     When you sit down in front of any good commercial psychic, they can tune in to you and tell you about many of the things that have happened to you in the past.

     The past has already been impressed on physics, so it is relatively easy to detect. In fact, in just one weekend of training, our Silva Method instructors teach large groups of people how to detect existing information.

     But what about the future? After a commercial psychic has impressed you by mentioning several things from your past, can they provide you with reliable predictions of the future? Can they give you information that will help you make better decisions? Can you correct more problems after paying to consult with a commercial psychic?

PSYCHIC ACCURACY

     If just one out of every five recommendations turns out to be helpful, that's just average. Anyone can do that - by luck alone.

     If they can give you two correct recommendations for the future out of every five, then you know that they have gone beyond mere chance, and are actually using their psychic ability.

     Good psychics can do even better than that. They will be correct three out of five times, or even four out of five times.

     Think about that for a minute: Anybody who can make more correct decisions than incorrect ones is going to be very successful.

     In fact, you can still be pretty successful if you just reach the first step and are correct two out of five times - twice the average of a non-psychic.
     How can this be?

PROBLEM SOLVING

     If you have the ability to determine quickly whether your decision was right or wrong, then you know how to proceed:

     *You can reinforce the correct decisions and keep going.

     *When the decision is wrong, you can stop whatever you are doing and try again.

     In order to do this, you would have to consult the commercial psychic daily - maybe several times a day - to insure that you get information quickly enough to make the necessary adjustments.
     This could get very expensive at $5 per minute, or $50 per sit-down session with a local psychic.
     So why not do it yourself?

     For a modest investment, anyone can take the Silva Method training and learn how to be a psychic. Guaranteed, or your money back.

     You even get to try out your psychic ability during the final portion of the course. You detect health information with your mind about people that you have never met, and verify that you are correct!

     Then, all you need to do is to practice in order to develop skill at detecting any kind of information that you need in order to correct problems.

     Will this help you win the lottery? Probably not. It seems as though the creator gave us these abilities to use to correct problems and make the world a better place to live.

     If winning some money is the best way to correct a specific problem, then you'll probably win some money. But something like this will come naturally - if it comes at all; we don't scheme and program for it to happen.

     We program to correct a problem.

HOW IT IS DONE

     We don't use our psychic ability for everything, of course. When your car is low on gasoline, that's a problem. The solution is to go to a gas station and put in some gasoline. Normally, you don't need anything extra to correct that problem.

     But supposed when you get there, the gas station is closed. And the gas gauge is on empty.

     Now you have a bigger problem.

     You did what you normally do to take care of the situation, and it didn't work. Now you need to call on your psychic ability for extra help:

     Which way should I go to find the nearest - open - gas station, so that I don't run out of gas and get stranded?
     In situations like this, if you are right more times than you are wrong, you will be much better off.
     If you are a parent and you encounter a problem with your child, you counsel them and solve the problem.

     If your counseling doesn't solve the problem, then you use your psychic ability to gain more information so that you can do a better job.

     Does this guarantee that you will correct the problem?
     No, it doesn't. Even the best psychics are sometimes wrong. They may be right four out of five times, but this still leaves some times that they are wrong.

THE MOST VALUABLE PSYCHIC

     If you are your own psychic, you will discover very quickly that your strategy is not working. Then, armed with this additional information, you will use your psychic ability again and you will probably come up with the correct answer.

     If you have to wait until you can contact your commercial psychic, then at the very least, it will take longer to correct the problem. And during that time, the situation may get worse.

     It is obvious that you will do better functioning as your own psychic than by going to a commercial psychic, even if the commercial psychic is more experienced than you are, and is correct more often then you are.

     Your ability to use your psychic ability at any time you need it, to incorporate new information, and to make changes "on the fly" so to speak, is far more valuable to you and to your loved ones than the "expert" guidance of a commercial psychic.

     That still doesn't guarantee that you'll solve that particular problem, of course. Everyone has free will. When you are dealing with other people, you cannot control what they do.

     If we could control other people, this could lead to huge problems, with everybody trying to control everybody else. No, that just wouldn't work. We need everybody's efforts, everyone's ideas and input in order to correct the problems that the world faces.

A SIMPLE SOLUTION

     If you want to improve your life, to be more in control of your own destiny, to be healthier, happier, and more successful, then there is a simple solution:

     Attend the Silva Method Basic Lecture Series, or the new Silva UltraMind ESP System, to develop your psychic ability.

     Then practice, practice, practice.

     Correct problems whenever you become aware of them.

Not just your own problems, but any problems that you become aware of.

     Use your psychic ability:

     *first to obtain additional information so that you can make correct decisions, and

     *second, to program - project your mind - and correct the problems that you detect.

     It is easy. For an investment that is just a fraction of what people are paying commercial psychics for the limited help they can provide, you can attend the Silva Method training.

     Then join with other Silva Method graduates to develop your ability by correcting problems, and make this a better world to live in.

What Does Your Future with Silva Look Like?

Congratulations! You're a Silva Grad!

Now the fun begins as you incorporate what you've learned into your everyday life...making your life better every day.

You've heard "practice makes perfect" and probably you expect that as you practice Silva techniques you'll experience steadily-increasing desirable results.

But that's just not the way it works.

Scientific research shows that, whether you’re looking to master Silva Method or any other discipline, your progress actually reflects some 'level' periods and other times of sharp rises.

The level periods are times where your progress stagnates. For instance, if you’re working to improve and increase your intuition, you may find yourself struggling. It may seems as though things have come to a screeching halt.

Stay with it because your experience will change!

At some point you'll begin to experience amazing improvement.

Think With the Right Brain Hemisphere and Act With the Left

      This article has some of Jose Silva’s reflections as one year came to an end and a new year began.
        He saw what he usually saw: That the 90 percent of humanity who only think with the left brain hemisphere, are causing more problems than the 10 percent who think with the right brain hemisphere and act with the left, can correct.

by JOSE SILVA

        Many people like to take time out at the beginning of the new year to pray for peace on earth.

        There are new age groups that meditate on peace on earth. A lot of Silva Method graduates pray for it.

        We certainly need it.
        Look wherever you like, and you will see problems:

        *People trying to destroy whole races in the name of the creator.

        *Governments treating their citizens like property to be used at their pleasure and then disposed of.

        *Politicians who fight any idea from the opposing party no matter how good the idea might be for the citizens.

        *Businesses taking advantage of every possible loophole - and even resorting to dishonesty and sabotage of their competitors - in order to improve the "bottom line."

        *Individuals hoping to "get rich quick" through any means possible, from lawsuits against corporations with "deep pockets" to gambling to fraud and theft whenever they think they can get away with it.

        It is not all bad, of course. There are still people out there - and businesses and governments - that care about other people, who care about the effect that their actions have on other people, and who try to do what they honestly believe is best for all concerned.

A NEW WAY

        These problems are taking their toll. This has been recognized by individuals, by businesses, and by governments.

        And this has spawned a whole new industry -an industry involved with "reinvention."

        There are business guru's who want to help us "reinvent" business. And others who want to help us "reinvent" government.

        They boast whenever they manage to get someone to do the right thing, the thing that is best for all concerned.

        *A politician goes on national television and boasts about how he got a government agency to stop paying 100 times more for some product than it is worth!

        *An officer of a corporation writes a best selling book about how his company has started to actually provide satisfactory service to its customers!

        *It is headline news nationwide when somebody returns a valuable item that they found to its owner!

DIFFERENT VALUES

        Thirty years ago in the United States a guru was a spiritual person who dedicated his or her life to helping people and uplifting the human spirit.

        Now when you mention "guru" people want to know the title of his latest book, and what method he uses to help businesses be more competitive in the '90s.

        And the new style of guru obliges. He comes up with new models for operating a business. You flatted out the organizational chart, or "empower" employees, or actually listen to your customers!

A BETTER PLAN

        As we begin this new year, I'd like to suggest another way to go about correcting our problems and bringing peace to the planet.

        It is not the institutions that are at fault.
        *Not government.
        *Not business.
        *Not politicians.
        *Not lawyers.

        Institutions are run by people. Decisions are made by people. Actions are taken by people.

        If we make a better person, then the institutions will automatically be better.

        They will function more efficiently. They will serve people better. We will all be happier and better off.

        If we can somehow convince people to work for the common good, to do what is best for all concerned, then we will all be better off.

        I am not saying that you should not stand up for what you believe in. You should fight for what you believe is right.

        At the same time, you should realize that different people have different goals. They may have needs that are different from yours.

RESPECT EVERYONE
        Some people may want to worship in a different way than you do.

        Let them!

        Have you ever noticed that the people who start wars are the people with little minds who cannot conceive of anyone else being right except for themselves?

        The people who say, "I believe I have found the correct answer, but I respect your right to differ with me," do not start wars.

        It is the people who say, "My way is the only way."  They are the ones who start wars.

        It amazes me that the people who claim to be the most religious, those who profess their strong belief in their religion, are usually the ones who show the most disrespect for the creator's greatest creation: other human beings.

        Rather than supporting people and respecting their ideas and helping them to live productive, happy lives - they condemn them because their ideas about the creator are different.

        Most wars are started by people who are so narrow-minded - who have such little minds - that they cannot accept the fact that might not know everything there is to know.

        These little-minded people act like they are some kind of god, with the right to tell everybody else how to live and how to believe and how to pray.

        In order to have peace on this planet, we must learn to respect everyone. We must respect each other's right to do as we choose, so long as we are not harming anyone else.

HOW TO PROGRAM

        We are not going to bring peace to the planet just by wishing for it.

        We are not going to correct the problems that face us by "reinventing" business and government.

        All of the cute slogans that the guru's write about in their books and say so eloquently on their tapes may feel good for a moment, but they are not going to change the basic problems facing humanity today.

        Those problems deal with humans...with people.
        To make a better world, we need to make a better person.

        Fortunately, there is a way to do that.

        The people who correct the most problems, who bring the greatest benefits to humanity, are the people who do their thinking at the alpha brain wave level, where they can use their intuitive and creative right brain hemisphere to think with.

        With your right brain hemisphere, you can get more information than you can from the left hemisphere alone. You can sense information intuitively that is not available to your physical senses. This will help you make better decisions.

        The alpha brain wave level is the ideal level to think at, the ideal level for decision making.

        When all people on the planet learn how to use the alpha level to think with, to get information and make decisions, then our institutions will work properly, nations will live in peace with each other, and we will actually have a paradise on earth.

        At the alpha level, it is easier to determine what our purpose is in life. It is easier to understand and respect other people.

        Those people who speak hateful words, who condemn others simply for being different, are not alpha thinkers. They are losers. They deserve our pity. We should try to help them, by showing them how to use both brain hemispheres to think with.

        Teaching all of the 5 billion people on the planet to learn how to center themselves at alpha is too big a job for one person. It will take all of us, working together, to get the job done.

        If you have children between the ages of seven and fourteen, then teach them to use visualization and imagination. Teach them to use their intuition. Just ask them to do it, and praise them every time they are correct.

        If you do that, they will grow up with the ability to function at alpha whenever they desire. If you have questions about it, contact your local Silva Method lecturer, or contact us here in Laredo. We have written a book, and are putting together a home study course, to help parents help their children.
        People older than fourteen need to take the Silva Method training to regain the ability to function at alpha.

        It can be done. It should be done. I believe that it must be done if we are to have peace on our planet.
        And I believe that when we do this, when everyone can - and does - function at alpha, then we will have a paradise one earth.

        Please be sure to check in at our online alumni association clubhouse from time to time - www.SIGA.org - and take advantage of the resources available there. Thank you.

David Morelli

This video just gets better and better and you listen and experience it. I encourage you to take the time...experience the meditation...think of his suggestions...and think about how this relates to what you've learned in Silva. You already have the tools - and more! - that he's talking about.  Blessings...

taken from the FinerMinds blog...by FinerMinds Team February 23, 2011

As many of you might know, last December, we hosted a personal growth getaway on the pristine beaches of Costa Rica called AwesomenessFest. About 200 people passionate about self development and spirituality came together, connected, and shared their learnings.

So for those who couldn’t join us, I wanted to share one of the best rated speeches at AwesomenessFest. It’s by psychic, David Morelli. He’s incredibly successful, having hit 2 million-dollar businesses over the past couple years and his radio show podcast, Everything Is Energy (hosted by him and his wife, Kristin) is the #3 show on iTunes just behind Oprah Winfrey and Marianne Williamson.

And he achieved all this using his intuition. Check out this video and if you want to skip straight to the meditation at the end, fast forward to the minute 22:33.

Where Mind and Matter Meet with Bruce Lipton

Dr. Bruce Lipton says that, when it comes to health and the human body, a lot of the things we think are proven fact “actually aren’t very true at all”.

He says disease isn’t pre-determined by your genes but by how you 'rewrite' them, based on your beliefs. In other words – your thoughts and beliefs determine your physical experience.

If you’ve been putting all your faith in western medicine these are probably pretty radical statements. You may be shocked to know that this isn't all new information!! Some of it is 50 years old!


This is actually a series of short videos wherein he explains the current research and knowledge. If you're interested in the power of the mind, energy medicine, you're going to love these.

Here's the first video to get you started. Enjoy!

Spiritual Cleansing For Astral Success – Special Chakra Training

Taken from a post on "The Art of Astral Projection" blog

by Astral Projection Team

Your car limps along on a dirty engine, and your physical body risks death when your arteries are clogged. These are two great ways to illustrate one very important thing to remember when it comes to 'operating' your astral body. If you want your astral body working at full capacity, then you want to be sure its engine (the chakra system) is working like a well-oiled machine.

Blocks in your chakras amount to a weak and unbalanced system. When this happens, you can't raise your kundalini. And if you can't raise your kundalini, you can't power your astral body.

Spiritual cleansing the chakra system is what we're talking about. In this audio, Steve G. Jones explains the energies related to each of the chakras and the importance of keeping them open and clear.

Go to http://www.theartofastralprojection.com/blog/special-chakra-training to hear the talk that accompanies this post. It's worth your time.

Now, if you're ready for a powerful spiritual cleanse of your chakras, it's time to meet Carol Tuttle. Carol is a Master Energy Healer who specialises in cleaning up the chakras. She'll be doing an online training this Tuesday, giving you simple, hands-on tools to cleanse and activate your own chakra system.

For more information on this free training with Carol, go here.

Here's a few highlights of the training:

1. Get to know your Chakras
What would your Chakras say if they were sufficiently opened and energized? Here you’ll learn how to understand the nature of your Chakras, so you can recognize when they’re in an optimal state and work on them accordingly.

2. Connect your Chakras
Your Chakras work best when they’re energetically communicating with each other. Here you’ll learn a few simple steps to connect them so they can start working efficiently together.

3. Activate your Psychic Compass
Your Third Eye Chakra holds the key to your inherent intuition, creativity and psychic ability. Here you’ll learn a potent exercise to open it, so you can start enjoying a life enriched by powerful and reliable psychic guidance.

4. The energy of Money Shift
Learn why your current perception and energy of money may be unsuitable for today’s economic climate, and what you must do to shift it so you and your family can prosper and contribute.

5. The energy of Money Meditation
Join Carol on a guided meditation to open your 4th Chakra, and shift your energy of money into one suitable for the world’s current economic situation. You’ll shake off any feeling of financial helplessness, and find yourself empowered to make more and contribute more for your society.

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.

How "Thank You X 5" – Giving Thanks - Feels Good

So let’s begin …


Grab a paper and pen or a new document on your desktop, then list these five things:

1. Health

2. Relationships and Family

3. Work/Career

4. Fun-Time

5. Stuff

Now, for each of these five parts of your life, list at least five things you’re grateful for. If you want to go totally wild and list more, go for it! The more things you find to feel grateful for, we promise you, the better you’re going to feel.

Once you’ve got your list, send us your five favorite “Woohoo, hallelujah, thank you, thank you, thank you!” favs.

Here’s our top five:

1. Health

As one FinerMinds reader likes to remind himself when life seems less than ideal: We’re all still “walkin’ talkin’ seein’ and peein”.

2. Relationship and family

Between the FinerMinds team, we’ve got 8 healthy parents, two happy, healthy kids, four loving partners/spouses, a good handful of wise elders and too many inspiring friends to count. We also have all of you – the FinerMinds community – and for that, on this and every day, the FinerMinds team is truly thankful!

3. Work/career

Well let’s face it, a career focused on mind-blowing awesomeness is nothing to sneeze at. We know how fortunate we are to have careers we enjoy. But none of us here started with the ideal, so we’re thankful, too, for all of the jobs that supported us and gave us the skills we needed to do what we’re doing now.

4. Fun-time

Let’s see … birthday parties and beaches, good jokes and kind gestures, awesome comments and bad jokes that make us laugh anyway. Oh! and we can’t forget roller coasters and ice cream!

5. Stuff

The internet and iPods, reliable cars and cozy slippers, safe drinking water, sunshine, walkin’ shoes and of course, turkey dinners.

Your turn!

We know sometimes the holidays can bring people down. We also know that down can turn to UP with a thanks-giving rampage!

Heart-Connected Communication and Inner-Ease

With the increasing energetic modulations of the planetary shift, communications with others can be more challenging at times. Many people report that they are becoming more susceptible to irritation, frustration and impatience within themselves and in communications with others. Much of this stems from us adjusting to the speed-up of incoming universal energy, which is replacing the old paradigm of separation with heart-based connection.

As we embrace each other as aspects of ourselves through heart-connected communication, this helps to balance and integrate the new energy — while creating a higher frequency field environment that helps others also integrate the new energy more easily.

Now through the New Year, let's spend a few minutes each day breathing love into the global field environment. While breathing love, visualize humanity increasingly connecting with each other from the genuine heart, with non-judgment and compassion. See yourself practicing inner-ease through the day, which creates more flow in your interactions and choices.
Practicing inner-ease also helps keep the heart open, which facilitates the needed balance between the mind and emotions, especially as everything seems to be speeding up. When our mind and emotions are aligned with the heart, it increases our intuitive discernment resulting in higher choices as we navigate and create through life’s experiences and communications.

Including our heart's intelligence in all things especially helps balance and strengthen our personal energy field, and is a proactive contribution to the global energetic environment.
These practices can help reduce much collective and personal stress along with helping to raise our individual coherence baseline.

You can join with others around the world in the Global Care Room as you breathe love into the global field environment to facilitate heart-connected communication and inner-ease. To access the room, just log in www.glcoherence.org and click on the enter button on your My Member page. Thank you for providing energetic care and support.

The Emotional Vampire Survival Guide: Emotional Freedom in Action

The Emotional Vampire Survival Guide — Discover How To Deal With The 4 Types Of Vampires


by Editorial Team (FinerMinds) Published in: Energy

ShareEditor’s Note: This isn’t quite like Twilight. But have you ever met someone and felt as if you’re energy has been sucked out of you? You might’ve felt on top of the world one minute, and bam! Right after you meet this person, you’re feeling down and out. Chances are you just met an emotional vampire.

Dr. Judith Orloff below gives an interesting account of the 4 types of emotional vampires and what you can do to protect yourself from them. She uses a technique called Emotional Freedom. It’s an awesome read, so I recommend checking it out.



The Emotional Vampire Survival Guide: Emotional Freedom in Action

Adapted from Dr. Judith Orloff’s new book Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself From Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life

To be emotionally free you can’t remain naïve about relationships. Some people are positive and mood elevating. Others can suck optimism and serenity right out of you. Vampires do more than drain your physical energy.

The super-malignant ones can make you believe you’re an unworthy, unlovable wretch who doesn’t deserve better. The subtler species inflict damage by making smaller digs, which can make you feel bad about yourself—for instance, “Dear, I see you’ve put on a few pounds” or “You’re overly sensitive!”

Suddenly they’ve thrown you emotionally off-center you by prodding areas of shaky self-worth. To protect your sensitivity, it’s important to name and combat these vampires. The concept struck such a collective chord in my book Positive Energy that in Emotional Freedom, my latest book, I illustrate how it applies to protecting your emotions and not absorbing other people’s negativity.

SIGNS THAT YOU’VE ENCOUNTERD AN EMOTIONAL VAMPIRE

•Your eyelids are heavy—you’re ready for a nap

•Your mood takes a nosedive

•You want to binge on carbs or comfort foods

•You feel anxious, depressed, or negative

•You feel put down, sniped at, or slimedTYPES OF EMOTIONAL VAMPIRES

Vampire #1: The Narcissist

Their motto is “Me first.” Everything is all about them. They have a grandiose sense of self-importance and entitlement, hog attention, and crave admiration. They’re dangerous because they lack empathy and have a limited capacity for unconditional love. If you don’t do things their way, they become punishing, withholding, or cold.

How to Protect Your Emotions: Keep your expectations realistic. These are emotionally limited people. Try not to fall in love with one or expect them to be selfless or love without strings attached. Never make your self-worth dependent on them or confide your deepest feelings to someone who won’t cherish them. To successfully communicate, the hard truth is that you must show how something will be to their benefit. Though it’s better not to have to contend with this tedious ego stroking, if the relationship is unavoidable use the above strategies to achieved desired results.

Vampire #2: The Victim

These vampires grate on you with their “poor-me’ attitude and are allergic to taking responsibility for their actions. The world is always against them, the reason for their unhappiness. When you offer a solution to their problems they always say, “Yes, but.” You might end up screening your calls or purposely avoid them. As a friend, you may want to help but their tales of woe overwhelm you.

How to Protect Your Emotions: Set kind but firm limits. Listen briefly and tell a friend or relative, “I love you but I can only listen for a few minutes unless you want to discuss solutions. Then I’d be thrilled to brainstorm with you.” With a coworker, listen briefly, sympathize by saying, “I’ll keep good thought for things to work out. Then say, I hope you understand, but I’m on deadline and must go back to work. Then use “this isn’t a good time” body language such as crossing your arms and breaking eye contact to help set these healthy limits.

Vampire #3: The Controller

These people obsessively try to control you and dictate what you’re supposed to be and feel. They have an opinion about everything. They’ll control you by invalidating your emotions if they don’t fit into their rulebook. They often start sentences with “You know what you need?” and then proceed to tell you. You end up feeling dominated, demeaned, or put down.

How to Protect Your Emotions: The secret to success is never try and control a controller. Be healthily assertive, but don’t tell them what to do. You can say, “I value your advice but really need to work through this myself.” Be confident but don’t play the victim or sweat the small stuff. Focus on high priority issues rather than on putting the cap on the toothpaste.

Vampire #4: The Splitter or Borderline Personality

Splitters see things as either good or bad and have love/hate relationships. One minute they idealize you, the next you’re the enemy if you upset them. They have a sixth sense for knowing how to pit people against each another and will retaliate if they feel you have wronged them. They are people who are fundamentally damaged—inwardly they feel as if they don’t exist and become alive when they get angry. They’ll keep you on an emotional rollercoaster and you may walk on eggshells to avoid their anger.

How to Protect Your Emotions: Stay calm. Don’t react when your buttons get pushed. Splitters feed off of anger. They respond best to structure and limit setting. If one goes into a rage, tell the person, “I’m leaving until you get calmer. Then we can talk.” Refuse to take sides when he or she tries to turn you against someone else. With family members, it’s best to show a united front and not let a splitter’s venomous opinions poison your relationships.



This article is based on Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself From Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life, where Dr. Orloff synthesizes the pearls of traditional medicine with cutting edge knowledge of intuition and energy medicine. As Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA, she passionately believes that the future of medicine involves integrating all this wisdom to achieve emotional freedom and total wellness.
