The Real Secret
The Law of Attraction The Law of Attraction is simply stated as ‘whatever we focus our minds upon we attract into our lives.’ It has become popular – dare I say fashionable – as a result of a best-selling book, CD set and DVD called ‘The Secret’. But it’s nothing new. King Solomon, the Buddha…

How to Succeed at Anything
The formula for achieving anything you want is very straightforward, although it must be applied with determination and persistence. Many years ago a millionaire businessman who had gone bankrupt several times and each time recovered to become a multi-millionaire was asked what advice he would give to ambitious young people. ‘Have a clear idea of…

Affirmative Prayer
Affirmative prayer is not like the sort of prayers that many of us grew up with. It is not about pleading with a G_d to do something for us, but directing our self-talk to our inner selves in a positive and life-enhancing way. We know there is an Intelligence in the universe that shapes energy…

Peace of Mind
Peace of mind often seems elusive in this busy world. Nearly everyone agrees it’s an important ‘state of being’. How can we experience it? Is there a formula that could enable us to have it now and for ever more? Some think there is. Many Buddhists, for instance, associate it with a state of total…

Problems, problems, problems!
Think of a problem that seemed terrible at the time, that you now look back on and think, ‘I learned a lot from that?’ Perhaps you surprised yourself, and now thanks to this, you feel more confident.

Napolean Hill’s 12 Things That Make People Rich
I’m a huge admirer of Dr Napolean Hill, author of ‘Think and Grow Rich’ and ‘Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude’ and other titles in the 1930s, 40s and 50s. The principles he identified are as relevant today as ever. Every great achiever has applied them, consciously or unconsciously, in many areas of activity, not…

Autosuggestion
Autosuggestion is the use of positive suggestion when in a deeply relaxed state so the unconscious is much more receptive. Hence there is less chance of a suggestion being vetoed by the Critical Censor. If deep relaxation is hard for you, try the AcuPearl Chillout or G-Balance (see*). Four of the rules for autosuggestion are…
