Unleash the Power of Belief

by Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler

You might sometimes wonder why you just did or said something. Actually there is an immense power deep in your subconscious mind that silently controls your thoughts and actions - your beliefs.

Each of us has our own unique set of beliefs and assumptions for virtually every aspect of our life, including money, success, 
relationships, body image, intelligence, etc. The list goes on and on.

These beliefs actually run our lives. Why? Because of the power of beliefs we are deeply convinced that they are valid. In fact, we automatically assume they are valid without even thinking about it.

The nature of beliefs may seem a mystery, but they are basically simply emotion-packed thoughts you revisit over and over again. Any repeated thought builds strong physical neural networks in your brain. The thought then becomes an automatic subconscious pattern.

Once they become strongly engrained in our brain-based neural networks, we assume they represent reality and are beyond question. Most of us can get very defensive if someone (even our own self) questions our beliefs. So they remain unquestioned, and often just run right over any personal dream or goal that goes against them.

Thoughts Can Override Beliefs.

I discovered the amazing ability of a single thought to override a belief when I first began to use biofeedback in a clinical environment.

The wife of a prominent local surgeon came to me hoping biofeedback could give her relief from crippling back pain. Mrs. Roberts (not her real name) had been in a high speed car crash three years earlier. She had miraculously not broken any bones, but her back pain had never healed.

She hobbled into the clinic leaning heavily on a cane, and revealed a belief she would NEVER heal from the back trauma caused by the accident (she was driving, and her best friend had died in the crash).

I attached sensors to her back, and we both observed the muscle-related EMG spikes as she painfully tried to move her legs. then I hooked up sensors to her arm, and had her tense and relax her muscles. She saw the clear difference between relaxed and tensed muscles on the screen.

Then I suggested that her back pain "might" be muscle bracing that had become a chronic habit. I proposed an experiment during which she would just think about allowing her back to relax.

I placed the EMG sensors on her back and turned the screen away from her as she began to think about allowing her back to relax. Sure enough, the spikes reduced dramatically.

I froze the screen and rotated it so she could see the results. Her jaw dropped. The power of her thoughts HAD actually reduced the chronic muscle spasms in her back.

I asked her how her back felt. She was even more amazed. It had begun to warm as her circulation was partially restored. After only three biofeedback sessions she was able to release her muscle spasms with a single thought.

A few weeks later the cane was gone and she considered herself totally cured from her pain. Actually, what happened is that she cured herself from a crippling belief (I don't think I'll ever heal) with a single powerful THOUGHT of relaxing the muscle spasms in her back.

Old beliefs CAN be replaced with success-affirming positive thoughts.

Put This to Work in YOUR Life.

Here's how to control the power of belief in your life. Most of your self-limiting beliefs had their beginning in your early childhood from negative judgements of your elders. Replacing the resulting limiting beliefs requires dealing with the subconscious ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) now attached to those beliefs.

If you do have limiting beliefs, your ANTs will constantly reinforce that belief. The only solution is to create new positive beliefs to replace the old negatives.

Here is a major insight to remember: It does not matter if you truly do believe your new positive beliefs at first. Your mind is a creature of habit. The more often you focus on your new positive beliefs, the faster they will be stored on brain-based neural networks. Your neural networks are like paths through a meadow. Left unused, the neural networks holding your limiting beliefs will gradually disappear and be replaced by the new networks you are installing.

The Power of Belief

by Michal Y. Noah

When we believe with certainty, we figure out ways and means to achieve our goals. We never give up on our ideas or dreams. ~ Anthony Robins

The power of belief simply means that whatever we believe in with conviction will become our reality. It is only when we change our belief, which is a repeated thought, can we begin to change our reality. We often hear people say, "When I see it, I'll believe it," but, in fact, the opposite is true. People ought to say instead, "When I believe it, I'll see it." For it is true that we see only when we believe in it.

Things happen for a reason. Face problems and challenges as opportunities instead of obstacles. There is a gift, a lesson in all that happens, whether it is good or bad.

The first step to manifest is to believe that we can achieve that which we wish to achieve.

It's important to understand the power of belief, and how and what causes it to work. It doesn't matter if it is used for positive or negative purpose.

"It is done unto you as you believe." What manifests as our life is nothing but our deeply rooted beliefs. It does not matter what we believe in. It will manifest.

Everything we focus on, we think about and deeply believe is being reflected to us.

We can learn to use the power of belief to our advantage simply by identifying and removing old limiting beliefs, and creating positive more empowering ones.

What we believe in and focus our thoughts on attracts like a magnetic force certain results in our life.

Our beliefs are like unquestioned commands, telling us how things are, what's possible and what's impossible, what we can and cannot do. They shape every action, every thought, and every feeling that we experience.

As a result, changing our belief systems is central to making any real and lasting change in our lives. We must develop a sense of certainty that we can and will meet the new standards before we can actually do.

Wishing you ABUNDANCE of Love & JOY!

Motivation, The Heart of Self Improvement


Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change. Getting flunked grades make us realize that we need to study. Debts remind us of our inability to look for a source of income. Being humiliated gives us the ‘push’ to speak up and fight for ourselves to save our face from the next embarrassments. It may be a bitter experience, a friend’s tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that will help us get up and get just the right amount of motivation we need in order to improve ourselves.

With the countless negativities the world brings about, how do we keep motivated? Try on the tips I prepared from A to Z…

A - Achieve your dreams. Avoid negative people, things and places. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

B - Believe in your self, and in what you can do.

C – Consider things on every angle and aspect. Motivation comes from determination. To be able to understand life, you should feel the sun from both sides.

D – Don’t give up and don’t give in. Thomas Edison failed once, twice, more than thrice before he came up with his invention and perfected the incandescent light bulb. Make motivation as your steering wheel.

E – Enjoy. Work as if you don’t need money. Dance as if nobody’s watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn as if you’ll live forever. Motivation takes place when people are happy.

F – Family and Friends – are life’s greatest ‘F’ treasures. Don’t loose sight of them.

G – Give more than what is enough. Where does motivation and self improvement take place at work? At home? At school? When you exert extra effort in doing things.

H – Hang on to your dreams. They may dangle in there for a moment, but these little stars will be your driving force.

I – Ignore those who try to destroy you. Don’t let other people to get the best of you. Stay out of toxic people – the kind of friends who hates to hear about your success.

J – Just be yourself. The key to success is to be yourself. And the key to failure is to try to please everyone.

K – keep trying no matter how hard life may seem. When a person is motivated, eventually he sees a harsh life finally clearing out, paving the way to self improvement.

L – Learn to love your self. Now isn't that easy?

M – Make things happen. Motivation is when your dreams are put into work clothes.

N – Never lie, cheat or steal. Always play a fair game.

O – Open your eyes. People should learn the horse attitude and horse sense. They see things in 2 ways – how they want things to be, and how they should be.

P – Practice makes perfect. Practice is about motivation. It lets us learn repertoire and ways on how can we recover from our mistakes.

Q – Quitters never win. And winners never quit. So, choose your fate – are you going to be a quitter? Or a winner?

R – Ready yourself. Motivation is also about preparation. We must hear the little voice within us telling us to get started before others will get on their feet and try to push us around. Remember, it wasn't raining when Noah build the ark.

S – Stop procrastinating.

T – Take control of your life. Discipline or self control jives synonymously with motivation. Both are key factors in self improvement.

U – Understand others. If you know very well how to talk, you should also learn how to listen. Yearn to understand first, and to be understood the second.

V – Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a boat on a dry land.

W – Want it more than anything. Dreaming means believing. And to believe is something that is rooted out from the roots of motivation and self improvement.

X – X Factor is what will make you different from the others. When you are motivated, you tend to put on “extras” on your life like extra time for family, extra help at work, extra care for friends, and so on.

Y – You are unique. No one in this world looks, acts, or talks like you. Value your life and existence, because you’re just going to spend it once.

Z – Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!

Reach for the Stars

Your wildest dreams are not out of your reach. Each time that you find yourself achieving one of your small milestones, you will need to celebrate your achievement and set a new stepping stone on your road to success.

The way you celebrate doesn’t matter; the main thing is that you reward yourself for your hard work, dedication and success in achieving the small goal.


Life is all about change. Nothing ever stays the same for very long. You must learn to recognize the changes and alter your strategy for success in gain it. Unfortunately, the road to success is filled with twists, turns and stop lights. So long as you are willing to think positively and adapt to any situation, you are bound to climb every mountain that you come across.

By: Bunmi Sodipe

To live the life of your dreams , there are key success factors that you must embrace, without them, achieving your dreams might just be a wishful thinking after all. Here are the key success factors to help you live your dream.

FAITH
Faith is a potent factor which cannot be relegated to the background in achieving any task, desire, goal and aspiration you set out for yourself. When it appears things will never go right, you must still manage to develop one of the most important factors to success in any endeavour. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This means faith is what makes you see the end from the beginning and you will be on the right path to live your dreams.

BELIEF
Believing in yourself is perhaps one the most important factors in living your dreams. Whatever you can believe, you can achieve. To achieve your dreams, you have to believe in your ability to succeed and must not think about any possibility of failure. Your belief has a close direction with your action. One of the things you have to do to live the life of your dreams is to change your belief system.

COURAGE
One of the distinguishing characteristics of a true leader is courage. It is absolutely inevitable to success, happiness and the ability to influence other people to be the best they can be. It is one thing to have a big dream for yourself; it is another thing to have incredible courage to push through your dreams. Courage is the ability to launch out in faith to the unknown and then confront the inevitable uncertainty that accompany every dream.

DISCIPLINE
You have to discipline yourself to do what you know you have to do to live the life of your dreams. Discipline is the courage to do something when you do not feel like it and you force yourself anyway to do it.

VISUALIZE
You have to visualize your life and the dreams you want to achieve in a state of completion. From sound to tastes, bring all the sensations to your dream. The more you can visualize your dreams, the sooner it will come to reality and ultimately live the life of your dreams

How to Celebrate The Joy of Everyday

By: Roseanna Leaton


Every day brings fresh happenings, unique situations and circumstances to those who look at the world with new eyes. Every day carries with it many opportunities to find and to create joy, so long as this is the outcome that you seek.


A gentleman in a store asked me the other day how the day was going for me. I provided a one-word answer - "perfect". A look of surprise came over his face and then he admitted that I was the first person who had provided that answer in the two year period that he had asked the same rhetorical question of every customer who stood on the opposite side of his counter.


Apparently most people respond that their day is pretty average, so-so or in fact pretty awful. Few people state that their day is going well, let alone that it is great or perfect. Don't you find that sad?


An octogenarian friend whom I admire greatly often quips, "If you're not having fun it's your own fault". Some people work their way through life with endless curiosity, humor and enthusiasm whilst others sadly do not. Living with an attitude of childlike wonder and joy makes life so much better in very many ways; it's more fun, more enjoyable and a whole lot easier on the mind and body.


The people who have this light and bright attitude do always acknowledge that their attitude is their own choice. They recognize that they have chosen to view their world in this way. In contrast, those who have a bleaker outlook on life tend to believe that they do not have a choice in this matter, that life has thrown them a tough, difficult or unfair hand.


Once you realize that you do have a choice in how you view circumstances, irrespective of how good or bad those circumstances happen to be, you will find that a huge weight is simultaneously lifted from your shoulders. You immediately step out from beneath black and threatening clouds and instead find that you can see blue sky and bright sunlight.


Happiness comes from within. Happiness does not derive from circumstances or events; rather, it comes from choosing to see your world in a relaxed, comfortable and positive manner. In choosing to take responsibility for the way in which you think, you free yourself to enjoy the inherent beauty of your world.

What Is Hypnosis?

Here is a dictionary definition:

Hypnosis is the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person loses the power of voluntary action and is highly aware of suggestion or direction.

To give a comprehensive answer you could say that hypnosis is often over exaggerated. We use the term “hypnosis” to describe a trance like state.

However, in reality we all go in and out of mild “trances” every day; those moments when our minds wander and we fantasize, we even enter a hypnosis like state when we simply sit down to read the sunday paper and give it our full attention - going into a mini trance and blocking the rest of the world out.

These trance like states, and they are all natural and safe. Hypnosis simply puts you into one of these mild “trance” states purposefully - with the aim of sending powerful hypnotic suggestions to help you change your life.

Although you might not remember everything which is said to you once you enter a trance you are not actually asleep, hypnosis is actually a heightened state where you are both relaxed but have an open mind.

Due to this heightened way of thinking you can use hypnosis to rewire your self beliefs and patterns of thinking.

Hypnosis gains access the subconscious mind and reduces the unwanted traits that prevent personal growth.

What can hypnosis help?

Hypnosis has a history of treating phobic disorders and fears, or at least this is how it first started out. It then began to be used with great success for weight loss and stopping smoking.

Hypnosis is now used for the elimination of almost any negative belief, it is used to help a wide range of health problems, and has a massive place in helping people to achieve the "success mindset", to achieve their specific goals in life.

Get started with hypnosis today - the easiest way is to go through it for yourself . You can download 3 free hypnotherapy mp3s from Natural Hypnosis yes, the team who are changing the way hypnosis is practiced!:

Rewire Your Brain And Achieve Your Whole Potential

It is stated we use much less than 10% of the power of our brains during everyday life. Even the most talented amongst us scarcely use more than this. Picture what our lives and our world would be like if we were able to boost our mental capacity by just a few %.It is often claimed that as a species we use less than 10% of our mental faculties, Perhaps we're only a small fraction of the species we will develop into one day, and it is hard to imagine that if we only use 10% of our possible brain power now what we would be like and able to do if we used just 20-30% even.

Our minds are unique, every one of us is different, and as we grow and learn things we all progress slightly differently. We are all shaped differently and use our brains in different ways, some people for example have a positive experience in school and go on to study increasingly more. Others revel in sports, they receive constructive praise for their sporting achievements and start to put in a lot more practice - on the way developing the perfect mindset and patterns of thinking required for sports success.

Others may unfortunately receive negative feedback - being told they are no good at something, or that they will never be successful in a certain area. This causes a negative reaction in our brains. Our minds store this feedback and our behaviour changes and we fail to live up to our real potential. This is a form of self protection by our brains - it stops you from experiencing the rejection and critique again, and this is normal, but unfortunately it limits our potential too..

These self beliefs and patterns of thinking just become part of our personality, of who we are, and in the end they hold us back and actually stop us from reaching our full potential. However, they aren't impossible to interrupt, and to rewire.

An Easy Way to Alter Your Self Perception?

Subliminal messaging can help you here. Subliminal audio is a simple way of reprograming your subconscious mind; through the elimination of the negative thoughts which hold you back and replacing them with helpful ones to help you believe in yourself and reach success. Because they access your unconscious mind they can make changes where other regular ways of development fall short, and even though you are not consciously aware of the messages they slowly but surely build to shape your mind in a positive way.

Subliminals work extremely well for every part of personal development imaginable, you can receive confidence boosting albums and albums to improve your sports performance

Imagine if you were free of adverse self beliefs, if you had full self confidence inside and out, just imagine how much more you would get out of life.

This doesn't need to be a fantasy forever, it is certainly possible to re-shape your subconscious mind, and you can get started today with the power of subliminal messages at no cost:
