How To Become More Assertive
December 29, 2009 by gfrancis · Leave a Comment
I am a person who at many times in my life have felt down and depressed about various issues that I have had in my life such as the fact that I had a speech impediment, stuttering. I was desperate to find a way to stop stammering/stuttering and was more than happy to work hard to achieve fluency.
From reading life coaching and positive thinking books, I realised I had to become a far stronger person, more care-free and to have more respect for myself. I decided that if I did not want to go somewhere I wouldn’t, whatever anyone said. I was well aware that it would be tough to ensure that I kept up this new found attitude but I knew I had to give it my best shot.
Then came the first challenge to this new found attitude; it happened at my friend Ian’s house. He is a very successful business man; he sells front doors for a living and can be quite an assertive person, he also works with a group of cost reduction experts. He and some of the other “boys” had organised an evening out for the following weekend. I was not at all interested in going out on that particular night for various reasons. Ian soon asked if I was interested in going out to which I answered in the negative.
That answer was not enough for him and he proceeded to question my reasons for not wanting to go. I felt all of the eyes of the people present descend on me and I felt quite awkward. Normally in this situation I would give some excuse but instead I asked him why I needed to give a reason and why my answer of no was not enough for him. He seemed quite shocked at my strong response and moved on to question and nag someone else.
Things are now far much brighter in my life; I have achieved fluency with the help of a chap called Steve from The How To Stop Stuttering Centre in the UK and I am generally a far more confident person.
What are Binaural Beats and Where Can I Get Them?
December 29, 2009 by gfrancis · Leave a Comment
Binaural Beats are not the new craze. They have been researched for 170 years. The brain goes through various frequency cycles every day with every frequency creating contrasting effects on the human consciousness. This information lets us understand how the brain works so that the receiving and operating frequency of the brain can be changed with sound waves. The ear can not respond to sound frequencies under 20 hz, although most of the best effective brain frequencies are under 20 hz. So that is where Binaural Beats comes in to play. Binaural Beat technology uses the inner wiring of the brain to produce these frequencies which are perfectly accurate.
By broadcasting varying frequencies in each ear, the difference between each side ie. one ear 200 hz and the other 207 hz, is 7 hz. The brain will compensate for this and produce a third tone of exactly 7 hz and the brain will attune into this lower frequency.
Each set of recordings are completely different and are exactly tuned for the required response. These are not subliminal recordings. Subliminal recordings are unfounded whereas binaural beats are tried and tested and are effective straight away. These effects you get with binaural beats are true and backed up by science. Binaural Beats modify your brains frequencies thus putting your brain in the right state to assimilate, allowing subliminal programming to be vastly enhanced.
Every brain is different and some are more receptive to suggestion and others are more obstinate. You will achieve results. Some people describe “crazy experiences” while others are calmer. You should anticipate physical effects. Some of the most common are:
1. Feeling heavy
2. Complete relaxation
3. Graphic visualizations
4. Separation of the conscious and subconscious
5. Easement from anxiety, stress, and tension
6. Tranquil
Binaural Beats are perfectly safe and there is no evidence that it could cause any danger to listeners. The identical frequencies that we are hear in our every day lives are used with Binaural Beats. Binaural Beats allows you to reach the required mind level instantly. Please get your doctors permision first before using Binaural Beats if you have any heart issues, psychological issues or other abnormalities.
Only use Binaural Beats at home and never listen whilst driving or operating machinery.
Brain Frequency Chart
Comprehensive examinations have been undertaken with Binaural Beats to find out which frequencies trigger the brains reactions. They have produced amazing results which link metaphysical abilities to exact frequencies. The chart below shows the classifications of the 4 most common brain wave activities. Each can be broken down into frequencies that each affect a different section of the conscious and subconscious mind. There are loads of nonidentical variations within each classification, and lots of research prove that various combinations of these frequencies creates certain effects.
Frequency range Name Associated with:
13 to 40 Hz Beta waves Active, busy or anxious thinking and active concentration
7 to 13 Hz Alpha waves Relaxation (while awake)
4 to 7 Hz Theta waves Dreams, deep meditation, hypnosis
< 4 Hz Delta waves Deep dreamless sleep
History Of Binaural Beats
Heinrich Wilhelm Dove found the capability of Binaural Beats in 1839. His idea didn’t take off. Gerald Oster published an article called “Auditory Beats in the Brain” 134 years later and appeared in Scientific American in 1973. Oster’s paper identified and tied together the similar research undertaken since Dove, in a way that gave the field new perception and relevance to scientific research.
Binaural Beats Programs Include:
- Astral Projection
- Aura Viewing
- Chakra Tuning
- ESP / Psychic
- Health
- Hypnosis
- Lucid Dreaming
- Meditation
- Past Life Regression
- Shaman Consciousness
- Spirit Guide
- Telepathy
- & more including Addiction, Weight Loss etc

How People Become Addicted
December 28, 2009 by gfrancis · Leave a Comment
Why do people become addicted? What is the fundamental mechanism? Of course, this question has been answered to varying degrees and in varying ways. Whether you consider the physical aspects of addiction where changes occur in the brain, or the psychological mechanism that triggers an addiction many theories already exist.
This article is strictly my opinion. It is my personal attempt to understand addiction and I don’t claim to have any scientific backing for my model of addiction. Nor do I seek any. I’m merely trying to understand addiction in terms that make sense to me personally. If this is useful to you in some way, then so much the better.
Addiction can be a powerful force in our lives. I hold that addiction occurs with each of us to varying degrees. Drug and alcohol addictions are the most obvious to us because their destructive effects are very evident. But what about those addictions that are not so obvious. Do you have a favorite food? A favorite song? Why do we choose one thing over another? Why do people choose differently?
On a purely physical realm it appears that our brains become stimulated in a certain way that we enjoy and therefore we are left with a memory that is pleasurably associated with a certain stimulus such as a sound or a taste or a sensation. Could this be the basis for addiction?
Since we are beings with an organic component, this makes complete sense. Once an impression is made on us it is either postivive or negative and we have a ‘feeling’ that goes with that. Being creatures that enjoy pleasure over pain we naturally seek to relive positive experiences and avoid negative ones.
Therefore, if we had an experience that triggered a negative feeling, such as the taste of garlic, then we may forever hate the taste of garlic. Yet, someone else’s early experience or experiences with garlic may have been quite pleasurable. Therefore, they actually enjoy the taste and smell of garlic even to the point that they always use it or cook with it.
Being similar in our organic components, how can such divergent reactions occur?
The only differential seems to be the original experience itself and how we reacted to it. That experience and reaction creates a record in our brains. This must be how two different brains can have such different reactions to the same substance or experience.
Then are we at the mercy of our first experience in regards to any particular stimuli?
Yes, if we don’t do anything about it. However, if we really exert our will, we should be able to change our reaction to virtually anything.
Therefore, through exertion of willpower an addiction, any addiction, should be defeatable. Of course, things are not necessarily that simple in the real world. But in principle and in my opinion, it seems to be this way.
Otherwise, we would simply be robots at the mercy of these addictions that exist to varying degrees. I think most people would agree that is not the case. Also, it would contradict the gift of freewill that I believe we all have been granted. There are some things that we don’t get to choose in this life yet there are many things that we may exert our personal choice over. I believe that addiction is one of those things we can choose not to have. Maybe it takes hard work to beat an addiction but I think we do have an option in this regard.
If I’m correct, then the most important component to beating an addiction is the willingness to do so, coupled by the intensity of the desire to beat the addiction. It seems certain that the person must be willing at some level to be rid of an addiction in order for that freedom to occur.

Past Life Regression For A Bright New Future
December 28, 2009 by gfrancis · Leave a Comment
People have always had a great interest in learning about their past lives. Many religions have a strong belief in the existence of a past life. Most want to learn about their past lives out of curiosity but the fact is you can make a change for the better in your life by using it. Most people do not think about it that way when they seek to discover their past lives.
Really, it’s a shame that the majority of those displaying an interest in their previous lives are simply just curious and nothing more. If only they could realize just how powerful Past Life Regression can be in helping them shape this life for the better.
Scientists of today are beginning to see that there are benefits to past life regression therapy. Studies have shown that people can make big changes in their life for the better once they have dealt with horrible things that happened to them in a past life.
Whether you decide on hypnosis sessions from a PLR expert or whether you opt for the self hypnosis method, it is always recommended that you set time aside to prepare your subconscious mind as well. Of course, the best way for you to teach your subconscious to accept these memories of past lives, is by including affirmation sessions.
Before beginning a past life regression session it is imperative that you are certain and believe certain things.
The life you’re living now is connected to your past life or lives and memories from those past lives still dwell within your subconscious. You only require a little help in order to recall them.
Just the knowledge of your past life will not help you have a better life. You must know how to put this information to use in order to benefit from it in your daily life.
Just as one can learn from mistakes you make in this life, so you can also learn from mistakes made in a past life.
There are a few people who cannot for whatever reason believe in past lives or reincarnation. However they can still benefit from past life regression therapy. Positive changes or avoiding huge mistakes in this life are all possible even if you think that it is all in your imagination.
There are a couple of good reasons for using Past Life Regression whether you believe in it or not. The following is the two main reasons to do this according to experts:
*Taking something you learned from a session and making a change in your present life points to the idea that it was a real past life event.
*If you think you have imagined everything it can still be of help to you as it can clear your head of things that are stopping you from being successful.
Please see below for the five fundamental benefits of Past Life Regression.
*PLR actively assists in healing emotional and mental wounds from the past which continue plaguing us even in our current life.
*Your decision making and clarity will be much enhanced.
*Remember your mistakes and then learn from them. We often learn from the mistakes we have made in this life but by then it is too late. If you were exceptionally cruel in a past life, you can change that in this life.
*It can bring to mind special talents or skills you have forgotten. You certainly had skills in that life that have been buried in your subconscious. Bringing them out could change your life.
*Many questions you have about yourself will be answered. You will no longer be as confused about why you deal with life the way you do.
Past life regression, therapy is a good thing no matter if you believe in it or not. If you would like to truly change your life it is certainly worth a shot, don’t you think?
Procrastination And Pat Mesiti
December 28, 2009 by gfrancis · Leave a Comment
Because access to knowledge is easy this days, we are often said to be in the Age of Information. Many books on self improvement are known bestsellers while motivational resources are readily available in various media, such as television, newspapers, magazines and the internet, oftentimes for free. While the secret to attaining prosperity has been revealed and discussed by many wealth creation authors, you still see many people leading their lives as before, some even going on a downward spiral. What then causes many people to fail in spite of all the principles of prosperity being taught to them? The problem with most people, according to Pat Mesiti, is their habit of procrastination.
Elements of success
Timing
Successful people attribute their achievements to doing the right thing while being at the right place and right time. On the other hand, the ones who fail are those who wait too long before they do something about their situation or get help for it. Pat Mesiti recounts the story of a friend who put off visiting a specialist only to find out later that he not only had prostate cancer but that the cancer had spread as well to other parts of his body. By the time his friend sought the help of a specialist, it was already too late.
The time element relates not just to your physical health, but also to your job, relationship, finances and happiness as well. Those who delay saving for the future often end up in debt. Divorse is often the result of an unhappy marriage that is left untended. Similarly, those who continuously postpone pursuing their passions end up with regret when they are old.
Failure and success are determined by two common elements: timing and advice. – Pat Mesiti
Advice
There is a solution for every problem. While it could be that you can’t find the solution to your problem, you should understand that others may. There are specialists, experts and those who have dealt with a similar issue with success.
You can turn to professionals like doctors, accountants, lawyers, coaches and consultants for proper advice. Timing also matters when seeking advice. The sooner you ask for assistance, the greater are your chances of resolving your problem or reaching your goals.
Time does not stop for anyone, and it cannot be reversed. For every second that you spend not doing what you are supposed to do, you pull yourself further away from your goal, or worse, make things more difficult to address later on. Pat Mesiti reminds you to go to the right people for advice and to take action while your problems are small.
