And isn’t that what selling is all about: Helping people get what they want through the use of your product or service. It is as easy as A, B, C. And it all starts with Alpha.

Mind guides brain and brain guides body

A more shallow alpha increases outwardly based attention.

On the assumption that everything in the body is coordinated by the mind, we go about controlling the mind in order to control the immune system, the vital organs, and our general levels of good health.

Negative thinking is guilt, worry, insecurity, fear, jealousy, suspicion, hatred, antagonism, anger, despair, mourning, and self-doubt. Negative thinking is being out of step with people and things around you. Positive thinking is love, appreciation, optimism, security, courage, cooperation, compassion, generosity, friendliness, patience, helpfulness, and ambition. Positive thinking is being in step — in harmony — with people and things around you.

Your words have power. [...] "How are you?" "Ah - can't complain," or "No use complaining," or "Not too bad." How does the brain respond to these dreary views? Is it a "pain in the neck" to do the dishes? Is it "one big headache" to balance your checkbook? Are you "sick and tired" of the weather we are having? I am convinced that [doctors] owe a large part of their income to the words we use. Remember, the brain is no subtle interpreter. It says, "This guy's asking for a headache. Okay. One headache coming up." Of course, every time that we say something gives us a pain, a pain does not immediately result. The body's natural state is good health, and all its processes are geared toward health. In time, though, with enough verbal pounding away at its defenses, it delivers up the very illnesses we order.

for instance, the theories and practices of art and photography with anthropological theory and practice (e.g. Edwards 1997a; da Silva and Pink 2004; Grimshaw and Ravetz 2004; Schneider and Wright 2005). The interdisciplinary focus in visual methods has also been represented in Theo van Leeuwen and Carey Jewitt’s Handbook of Social Research (2000) and Chris Pole’s Seeing is Believing (2004) both of which combine case studies in visual research from across disciplines. The idea that visual research as a field of interdisciplinary practice is also central to Advances in Visual Methodology (Pink 2012a) and is demonstrated by the work of the volume’s contributors, as well as by the recent SAGE Handbook of Visual Research Methods (Margolis and Pauwels 2011). Likewise the interdisciplinary journal Visual Studies (formerly Visual Sociology) provides an excellent series of examples of visual research, practice, theory and methodology.

Inanimate matter, or objects, radiate an overall static (fixed) field that can be altered by light radiation and thought-modulated human auras. Modulating an energy field, whether objective or subjective, means adding to or subtracting from a static field. That means that something, or some intelligence, is contained in the modulation of the field. Animate matter radiates a varying field that can be altered by light radiation and by human auras.

[When the negative mind is neutralized through meditation], the body is set free to do what nature designed it to do: repair itself.

As the imagination grows even stronger, so do our psychic powers. It is the imaginative mind which holds them.

According to Plato, Socrates said: "I have, since my childhood, been attended by a semi-divine being whose voice from time to time dissuades me from some undertaking, but never directs me what I am to do." Another writer, Xenophon, quotes Socrates as saying, "up to now the voice has never been wrong.

It is an inescapable fact that we already know enough to strengthen with our mind the body's repair forces so that illness can be combatted more successfully.

1. Close your eyes and roll them slightly upward toward your eyebrows. 2. Count slowly and silently from 100 to 1. Wait about one second between numbers. A. Starting with your scalp, focus your conscious awareness on the different parts of your body from head to toe, relaxing them as you go. 3. When you reach the count of 1, hold a picture of yourself in your mind as youthful, radiant, healthy, and attractive. A. Ask yourself mentally, “Why do I have this physical problem?” Then let your mind wander.

If you spur your imagination with belief, desire and expectancy, and train it to visualize your goals so that you see, feel, hear, taste and touch them, you will get what you want.

[Dream that lead to real-life invention] A man was in a jungle surrounded by saages. They were coming menacingly close to him, their spears rising, then descending. Each spear had a hole in the tip. When he awoke he saw this dream as the answer to a problem that had him stymied: how to design a sewing machine. He could make the needle rise and descend, but not sew - until his dream told him to put the hole at the tip. The man was Elias Howe, who invented the first practical sewing machine.

I am filled with wonder that everyone has not caught on to the power of their minds over their bodies. [...] I meet not hundreds but many thousands [of people who practice The Silva Method for training the mind to create your own reality] who report truly wonderful self-healings. These are now commonplace to me.

I must also tell you what Sadhguru has to say about the mind and what you tell it. In one of my favorite YouTube videos on mind control, he told a tale about a man who discovered a tree on an evening walk.

When you want to heal yourself, say, "day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better," and you will see the wonders of the tongue.

Close your eyes and look upward, behind your eyelids, at a 20-degree angle.

Program to wake up at the right time. • When awake, return to level, and program that you can improve the level of the person’s work quality by putting your three fingers together, unfocusing your eyes, and seeing three scenes: the problem scene, the fluid drinking scene to the left (the fluid will remind him of his need to heighten work quality), and still further to the left, the work going splendidly. • Fall asleep from level. • Whenever confronted by the problem, put your three fingers together, unfocus your eyes, and see the three scenes as before.

Preprogramming means going to your level at the best time at night and stating or visualizing the actions having the desired effect.

The pictures you put on your mental screen are shadows of things to come.

count backwards slowly from 100 to 1. Do not count out loud; count mentally to yourself. Count slowly, waiting about one second between numbers. Feel yourself going deeper and deeper within. When you reach the count of one, you would be ready to program yourself for specific benefits and to release your imagination for problem solving; but this must wait until you practice more. Instead, enjoy the blissful, serene state for a few minutes. Then use the coming-out procedure.

As Da Silva learned, applications-first thinkers like to receive practical examples up front; they will extract learning from these examples. In the same vein, applications-first learners are used to the “case method,” whereby they first read a case study describing a real-life story about a business problem and its solution, and then induce general lessons from it. Principles-first thinkers also like practical examples, but they prefer to understand the basis of the framework before they move to the application. And for anyone raised in a principles-first culture, the American case method may seem downright odd.

reinforce your mental housecleaning once again, and end by saying to yourself, “Every day in every way I am getting better, better, and better.

Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better.” Do this twice a day and you are using the Coué method.

Every day, in every way, I am getting better, better, and better.” We say it only once during meditation. We also say—and this too is Dr. Coué’s influence—“Negative thoughts, negative suggestions, have no influence over me at any level of mind.

The leaders of society and business are the problem solvers.

five steps in the creative process: 1. Preparation. The left brain does its homework. 2. Absorption. The right brain images the groundwork and the goal. 3. Incubation. A period of gestation and maturation of ideas that takes place at the subconscious level. 4. Illumination. The “Eureka!” factor. The idea explodes into our conscious when we least expect it. 5. Verification. A logical left-brain process that eliminates extraneous ideas and checks the final conclusion.

A more shallow alpha increases outwardly based attention. Thus, a more shallow alpha is recommended for solving problems external to the body and mind — business problems, money problems, problems to do with material possessions.

The technique was something akin to brainwashing, and slowly it began to work. Natalie packed away her old identity and life and became Leila. She did not know her family name; her legend, as they called it, would be given to her last, after a proper foundation had been poured and a frame constructed. In word and deed, she became more pious, more outwardly Islamic. In the evenings, when she ran along the dusty farm roads, she covered her arms and legs. And whenever her instructors were talking about Palestine or Islam, she wore her hijab. She experimented with several different ways of securing it but settled on a simple two-pin method that showed no hair. She thought she looked pretty in the hijab, but didn’t like the way it focused attention on her nose and mouth.

Done properly (use of extreme violent methods), by trained professionals, placing physical and emotional stress on captured terrorists very often produces actionable intelligence that saves lives. - Gabriel Allon
