Self Help And Education Blog

Human being is the most intelligent creature on the earth. He has a continuous quench of knowledge, technology; development and he explores the universe to satisfy this need.

“Don't ever remain satisfied” is the keyword in human life and it only makes the difference between man on the first day of his existence and now. There is a loophole in his nature too. He never gets what he wants because it is hidden inside him and we do not ever care to peep inside.

Meditation is the way to relax yourself from stress. It is a traditional custom which has religious importance. Christians meditate by chanting prayer to God and confessions at church, Buddhism believes in it as “a method of mind transformation”, Japanese Zen masters believe in it as “the experience of true nature,” Tibetian Buddhist” thinks it as “a way to awaken sky like nature of the mind.”

James Allen’s book As a Man Thinketh is one of the first to draw power from the idea that thought is the most important tool we have to achieving wealth and happiness. Just as Mr. Allen had, you will realized that in order to focus your thoughts, you have to give them room to grow. Meditating for an hour a day, you too will come to realize that through the power of your own thought energy, you form your own character, happiness and success.

One of the books that I find myself returning to again and again is James Allen’s As a Man Thinketh. In many ways, Allen’s book was one of the first to draw power from the idea that thought is the most important tool we have to achieving wealth and happiness.

Have
you ever wanted to achieve superior mind power?

The
first way would be meditation. More often than not our minds are cluttered by
our busy schedules, our stresses of work and home, our bad relationship, our
money woes and thinking about our future. Taken as a whole, they can create
quite a mess within our minds and marginalise our ability to focus and rearrange
our thoughts. Not only do they create clutter in our mind, it also clogs up the
pipes within our minds - the very pipes we can use to funnel the immense power
of the mind and place it within our hands. Meditation helps because of the
simple fact that it relaxes the mind and places us within the same levels as
our higher consciousness.

Spiritual growth is not the same thing as being religious. It is a process that takes your entire life to build. For the serious seeker, the process will eventually fall into place naturally. Spiritual growth is not just for the monk who parks himself on a mountain somewhere. It is for anyone who seeks a happier life, with freedom from strain, fear and anxiety. Ridding yourself of wrong thoughts and beliefs develops into an awareness of who you are and your purpose in the world.

Contrast is the same as showing differences or unlikeness. In our day to day experiences, contrast is something that we say we do not want.

When you live contrast, you are living something unwanted. But can contrast be good?

Without it, we wouldn’t get very far! We would all like the same things; everyone would like the same sports, the same foods, everyone would sing the same songs and there would be no platform for anyone to give birth to a new desire.

That type of a world doesn’t sound very exciting does it?

“Is there anybody there?” At our darkest moments, we wonder if there really is anyone who will, or can, walk through life with us. Is there anyone we can trust? Is there someone who cares? We deserve and require mutually supportive relationships. There is no health in being a lone ranger, taking on the world alone. We need a sidekick or two we can count on. We need a sense of community.

At our brightest moments, too, we need our community to share our victory, our breakthrough, our joy, our success. We want to celebrate and be celebrated.

I have found that through meditation I can get closer to God than through prayer. I live on a lake back in the woods, so I’m in a perfect place for meditation. I sit on the deck in the late evening or at night and I meditate while I either watch the sun set over the water or while listening to the night sounds.

The night is much nosier than the day. You would think it would be the other way around, but its not. At night you have all the little night creatures come out and they make all kinds of noises. The crickets, the frogs, the fish in the water, the foxes, the deer walking through the yard; they are quite noisy at night, and through meditation I become one with all of them.

“You are what you think.” This statement and others like it can be found in the works of Shakespeare, Chekov, and Emerson, in the teachings of Lao-Tzu and Socrates, and even in the Bible. So, is there any current scientific proof or is this statement simply a wishful thought?

There is a great deal of evidence that shows that we really ARE what we think, in a genuine physiological fashion. The medical field of research is called Psychoneuroimmunology or PNI. It is the study of interactions between a person’s perception of the world around them, their behavior, the way their brain functions, and their immune system. The field of PNI studies the measurable interaction between psychological and physiological processes. The psychological portion is the Psycho aspect, the central nervous system aspect is the Neuro aspect, and the body’s defense against external infection and mutant cell division is the Immunology aspect. There is also an endocrine system portion of PNI involving the release of various hormones in coordination with the other three aspects.

“Can I use The Law of Attraction to lose weight?” Absolutely!

Have you ever wondered why some people can just eat and eat and eat and NEVER get fat? Your friends or family may have told you … “it’s because of their metabolism and it’s different to yours”.

Not exactly an encouraging statement to say the least. Well what we’ve just proven is that food has no direct impact on the size of your waist! I’ve known people who have literally stuffed their faces at parties, eaten monstrous sized meals and have sat around watching TV all day long whilst they miraculously burn off the fat.

But why can’t I be like that? What’s so different?

Self help is about individual improvement and about the manner in which you can improve yourself, your state of existence and your life. It is connected to many different categories such as health, wealth, happiness, relationships, self esteem, abundance, and the list goes on. It is a concept based on one’s abilities to gather the “mental” strength needed to improve their life. By being able to help one’s self it allows them to regain control of their life, make improvements and help others with similar difficulties.

Self help, or Personal Development as it’s sometimes referred to, starts when a person realize a certain aspect of them self (or their life) needs to be changed, added or improved upon. This realization indicates that a time of great personal growth is approaching as they contemplate taking action towards making this change. This state of awakening is also known as self-empowerment which is the underlying force that will guide them to achieving their goal.
