For more details on how to order, go to: www.authorsden.com/melviafmiller  " UNLOCKING YOUR SUPER MIND: ....A BLUEPRINT TO IMPROVING YOUR LIFE" *Written by Melvia F. Miller  WHAT DO YOU WANT OUT OF LIFE??? SUCCESS? HAPPINESS? LOVE? FULFILLMENT? CONFIDENCE? WEALTH?..... LEARN HOW TO USE UNIVERSAL LAWS, EDUCATION, HOLISTIC HEALTH & EXERCISES TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE !! It all starts with ....  --THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES:*The Power of Positive Thinking... *Stress reduction & relaxation... *Finding a healthy balance in all aspects of life... *Spiritual (religious) & Wholistic thinking... *Positive mental state... *Love & affection. *Nutrition & good foods. *Fitness & Exercise * Learning to make good decisions *Learning to love ourselves. *Self-analysis. *Healing this Planet, i.e. problem solving .........& better human relations. WHAT IS LIFE HANDING YOU? Fulfillment or Frustrations? Hurt? Success or Failure? DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR ATTITUDE helps determine your ALTITUDE... The first basic step in learning to become successful is that we must all realize that we are not totally helpless and we are responsible for the calibre (quality) of our days. --# STEP ONE---Our primary task in order to begin to HEAL our planet Earth is to heal our inner wounds. The ugly destruction that many men have perpetrated upon this planet---such as : WARS, CRIMES, RACISM, POLLUTION, etc. ----are but mirror reflections of their innner wounds & traumas and inner dis-ease. We must embark upon the job of looking within to learn more about our own behavior patterns, past traumas, and dis-ease that may be still haunting us now. Emotional hurts can be crippling for many of us. Sometimes we get hurt because of the loss of a loved one---death or divorce. It takes time to heal these types of wounds. If you have been hurt thru such a loss, take time to grieve, pamper yourself and to heal. Many people spend a lot of time dwelling on their problems...on what did not go right....on how something failed....and generally having a "pitty-party" for themselves. Little do they realize that WHATEVER YOU FOCUS YOUR ENERGY, TIME, & TALK on ---is what the universe will return to you. WHY? Because the subconscious mind records thoughts and helps them to manifest into reality. The famous children's story titled: "The Little Train Who Could" is an excellent example of how our thinking can lead us to great achievements. The little train in the story was able to use positive affirmations--- "I think I can"--- which he repeated to himself over and over, until he accomplished what seemed to be impossible. SO--- "Say something positive to yourself!" --- "Everyday!"... To subscribe to a FREE newsletter on this topic, send an E-MAIL to: living@creativelivinginc.com AND GET YOUR COPY OF THE BOOK... "Have a Million Dollar Day" by M. Miller VISIT OUR BOOKSTORE or send an e-mail request to: culturaldiversity@hotmail.com In times of pain or tradegy a lot of people turn to "religion"---seeking guidance, comfort, and a way to explain life. Participation in religious activities also offers a situation wherein we learn more and can meet other people and find support in a group. Scholars have found that people who participate in some type of "religion" or spiritually-based group do live longer and happier lives. Jesus taught the same principles hundreds of years ago. His main message dealt with overcoming life's challenges and becoming a highly evolved loving human being who helped others. Jesus taught LOVE --- which is the main law of the universe. His message is the same as that of all the other wise men, prophets and sages. Each man must come to a knowledge of himself. All of these various religious labels (e.g.---Christian, Buddhist, Jew, Muslim, etc.).... have weak superficial meanings --unless they address the TRUE ESSENCE of the spiritual messages. The search for your "true inner self" or "inner child" --- ( that inner spiritual voice) ---is a spiritual activity that embrasses all of the major religions. It is not *special* to Christians, Jews, or to Muslims. This work does not require that you wear any special clothing or learn any new foreign language. In the Islamic religion---there is a concept called "Jihad," which many have mis-interpreted. "Jihad" means "struggle or fighting against an enemy." The greatest "Jihad" is the battle or struggle to tame, civilize and improve YOUR OWN SELF. There are many types of 'TRAUMAS' (wounds, injuries, etc.)--- that harm us in a mental or spiritual way..... The worst are those that effect our entire state of mind and emotions....such as the--- "way of life that we adopt." Many innocent people who have been looking for friendship, love and acceptance ---trying to fill a void in their emotions--- have found themselves caught up in a CULT, in which they are controlled by someone else's wishes and rules. People who operate cults have taken many of these religious principles and used them to "control" other people. Whereas, true spirituality will set you free. We must be extremely careful in not allowing "dogmatic beliefs & ideas" to interfere with our life. More often than not, there is a stereotype that is associated with a dogmatic idea. FOR EXAMPLE....HERE IS A DOGMATIC CONCEPT: ... "All women should cover their faces because the mere sight of a woman's face causes men to be sexually aroused and that is sinful." ** (or something similar)... Adolf Hitler preached a lot of dogmatic principles --especially concerning the supremacy of White people. None of his beliefs were based upon scientific facts or even sensible logic. Often times people get caught up in more subtle forms of these ideas---and do not even belong to a group or cult. There are many men who think that women are inferior and that women should not be allowed the same rights and pay as men. There are many so-called "educated" people who believe in the fallacy of 'racial superiority." There are many White people who believe deeply that there is a biological reason that Negroes are "inferior to whites." These types of ugly, harmful dogmatic ideas can be found in many places....or come from TV shows, magazines, and other media. Sometimes, these types of ideas have been promoted through the educational and/or psychological arenas, such as via people like Sigmund Freud or C. G. Jung...or some other psychiatrist. Many people fanatically adhere to every word that ever came out of a psychologist's mouth, simply because they held the title of "psychologist." Little do many folks realize---psychology is not an exact science. "Psychology" is a field that was developed from other non-factual arenas, such as: sociology, emotions, behavioral studies, and theories based in "the effects of environment" upon behavior. Of course, the study of psychology can be very helpful--- but it is not the "gospel" truth for all issues and difficulties. Many of us have seen these types of groups on TV or in magazines---but fail to recognize the harm that they bring to many of their members. In cults, members lose much of their own personal freedom to think and have an honest opinion of their own. They have become like little puppets or robots for the group to which they belong. The leader(s) dictate to the members what they can do, eat, wear and think.  --RECOMMENDED BOOKS---One of the best authors on this topic is John Bradshaw. He and others in this field have produced some very good books and exercises that can help heal the wounds from the past. Other recommended books include= * "I'm OK---You're OK" ---by Dr. Thomas A. Harris * "Self-Parenting Workbook" ... ...(Windows to Your Inner Child) --by Dr. P. Gorman & P. Diaz * "Writing from the Inner Self"---by E. F. Hughes * "Racial Healing"---by Harlon Dulton ======================================== Now.... ASK YOURSELF= WHAT PAST EVENTS, FORCES, AND CIRCUMSTANCES HELPED FORM MY PRESENT-DAY BEHAVIOR AND FEELINGS? There are many aspects to our being...not just the physical. ....."The more we know about ourselves... the more we grow..." IF YOU WANT TO GET MORE OUT OF LIFE, YOU MUST LOSE YOUR crippling INCLINATION toward 'monotonous security.' Get out of your rut! Go do something constructive. Learn something new!!! Begin the work of discovering your 'inner child.' LIFE IS A TRIP!! SO LEARN TO ENJOY THE JOURNEY.... --# STEP TWO---**ENHANCE YOUR SELF-IMAGE: One of your most important assets is your "self-image." What is self-image? Although you cannot touch it or see it, it is real. Self-image is your picture of yourself (that you see in your own imagination). It is your opinion of yourself. It is your judgement of yourself. It is the value you hold of yourself. A strong self-image is almost synonymous with 'fulfillment'-- and a weak self-image is synonymous with frustration. WHAT YOU NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS WORLD IS--not a stroke of luck, a genie or a fairy godmother (although they would certainly be a help)--- YOU NEED STRENGTH FIRING FROM WITHIN YOU. TO BE HAPPY, SUCCESSFUL, CONFIDENT, CREATIVE, AND THRIVING, YOU MUST BOLSTER YOUR SELF-IMAGE--- *Love yourself. *Refuse to quit on yourself. *Be a friend to yourself. *Gain wisdom. *Learn skills. *Take positive action. *Strive for good health. *Do something challenging. *Enjoy humor and comedy. Laugh! ============================= INFLUENCES OF PAST EXPERIENCES...  Within each person lies a vast store-house of experiences and feelings ---failures and successes. Those experiences are stored on the neural engrams (subconscious) of your grey matter (mind). Each one is as true as the other. The choice is yours as to which tape you choose to play back. The past influences the present and the present does influence the past. We are not doomed to the past. These neural engrams can be changed or modified, much like a tape recording---or replaced. Some psychologists would have us believe that past traumas,injuries and upsets are 'permanent damage,' but science has proven that this is not true. Old recordings, old patterns of thought, old reactions, old memories can be changed. Because someone had an unhappy childhood does not necessarily doom him/her to be unhappy forever! Our present thinking (mind set) ---present mental habits, and our present attitudes towards those past experiences do influence and change what happens in the present and the future. Discover your inner child...and you will also find old behaviors and feelings that are still effecting your life now. One of the best authors who writes on this subject is John Bradshaw. Also there is a lot of good reading material in Oprah Winfrey's magazine. BEGIN by examining your childhood experiences.... * Were your parents kind, supportive and loving? * Did you have a father who beat on you? * Were you forced to behave a certain way toward different races? * What did you learn to do to get along with others? * Did you grow up with an abusive parent? * Did you grow up with a parent who spoiled and smothered you? * What type of environment did you grow up in? * Were you taught to handle responsibility...or were you simply given everything? * Did you get your way by throwing fits when you wanted something? * Did you feel safe in your home? * Were you wild and uncontrollable in your youth? * Did you have to live in a racially hostile situation? ANSWERS to these types of questions will help you assess why you act the way you do now as a grown-up person. It will also aid you in understanding the behavior of others. All of these old behaviors may not be in your best interest in the real adult world. Find out which ones are effecting you in your later years that may be causing problems. It is not about your age---it is about your attitude.... how you react to circumstances. Your attitude helps determine your altitude! By focusing our mind upon happy, positive, progressive, pleasant, uplifting, healthy thoughts, ideas, concepts, and experiences---we automatically diminish the effects of past traumas. If you choose, you can put on a new record and reactivate success patterns and feelings of joy. .......REAL LIFE EXAMPLES--- * One example of how terrible past experiences may have traumatized someone--- is in how women have been treated historically. Throughout most of history WOMEN have been seen by societies as 'second-class citizens (useless, baby-making-machines), unimportant, and worse. Women have been mis-treated and victimized, simply because of their physical appearance and gender. Does a girl who grew up under an abusive father have to remain a 'pitiful victim' as an adult? Does that mean that women in modern society cannot change their status? ... change their lifestyles? Did women remain in their lower class roles? Certainly, many women did not believe or accept such mis-treatment---- Look at the lives of women like Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Susan B. Anthony. They chose to hear a different drummer! WERE YOU TAUGHT TO HATE OR DIS-TRUST PEOPLE OF DIFFERING RACES OR ETHNIC GROUPS? FOR MORE INFORMATION ON SUBJECTS SUCH AS: Civil Rights, Cultural Diversity, and women's issues.... VISIT THE FOLLOWING: http://mypages.blackvoices.com/museum --# STEP THREE---*CHANGE YOUR MENTAL IMAGERY AND YOU AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE!! HOW TO PLAY BACK YOUR 'BUILT-IN' SUCCESS PATTERNS--- Everyone has had experiences of success. It does not have be a major accomplishment. It might be something very simple, such as helping a friend to learn to read....or winning a race at the club picnic. What is important is that FEELING OF SUCCESS--that marvelous feeling of winning--- that you experienced when you made your previous accomplishment. *WHAT DID YOU DO THAT MADE YOU HAPPY WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG? Swimming, camping out, skating, taking a walk in the woods, fishing, riding a bike, playing basketball, football, volleyball...?????? Whatever activity made you feel happy, satisfied, and fulfilled---continue to do them now. Even if you are over 40--- movement and exercise is of great benefit to you. Physical activity has many benefits--- it helps you stay fit and healthy; it causes the blood to circulate better, which in turn brings more oxygen to the organs of the body---- it helps fight off boredom & depression; it stimulates hormones & muscles of your body.... and many other fantastic rewards can be derived from participating in activities. *** USE MENTAL EXERCISES: a) Take time each day to sit quietly and remember those times when you were successful, happy and felt satisfied. b) In your mind, revive those good memories in as much detail as you can... recall the smells, the sounds, the faces, the weather, the clothes, etc. c) The more you can tap into these past good memories, the more you will re-generate those feelings of success, fulfillment & happiness. Now, after you have aroused those wonderful feelings ---put your mind upon present challenges. Use your creative imagination to see yourself being successful in these present-day endeavors ---just as you were in the past. Fear, discouragement, anxiety, lack of confidence, etc. --all originate in your mind. These negative attitudes mean that you are re-activating those old recordings of past failures or past traumas. They mean that you under-estimate your abilities or you over-estimate the obstacles that you face. Knowing all of this--you are now free to accept or reject these recordings. You can obey the negative attitudes or you can choose to replace them with more positive ones. When we are listening to music on the radio and we dislike the song being played ----what do we do? Most of us CHANGE THE CHANNEL...in order to hear music that is pleasing to us. --# STEP FOUR---*STUDY AND PRACTICE WAYS OF STAYING WELL AND NATURALLY HEALING YOUR BODY... Get away from using alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, junk food---and any other bad habits that you may have which degrade your well-being. There are many good books on the market .  --- PHYSICAL EXERCISE ALSO HELPS...If you are not in good physical health.... it will be very difficult to focus other areas of your life...so make 'GOOD HEALTH'... A WAY OF LIFE. ***FOR MORE INFO ABOUT A BOOK ON NATURAL REMEDIES, HERBS, AND HEALING--- GO TO: http://www.maxpages.com/easylife/publishing YOU CAN ORDER COPIES OF THE WORKBOOK: "A Self-Care Guide to Healing" REMEMBER: "Ignore your health and maybe it will go away!" ****************************  ...OTHER EXERCISES THAT HELP BRING SUCCESS:--# STEP FIVE---*CULTIVATE FAITH & COURAGE by reading about the lives & 'success secrets' of other successful people, such as... *Anthony Robbins *Frederick Douglas *President John Kennedy *Oprah Winfrey *Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. *Maya Angelou *George Washington Carver *Benjamin Franklin *Susan B. Anthony *Dr. Deepak Choprah *Muhammad Ali .....(or anybody who inspires you...) MUHAMMAD ALI was the 3-time Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the world and he proclaimed to the world... "I am the Greatest"---prior to every fight. This is a good example of the power of positive thinking. Many of these people practiced various activities, such as Yoga, reading scriptures, reciting affirmations, and similar techniques which programmed their minds for success and happiness. Feeling follows imagery. Feelings coincide with what our nervous system accepts as "real" or "true." So in order to become happy, fulfilled, successful, healthy, (and so on) ---we must fill the mind with desirable pictures, imagery, and memories. LEARN TO LAUGH....have some fun, enjoy comedy. Watch sitcoms on TV. OFTEN TIMES IT HELPS TO DECORATE YOUR HOME, FAMILY ROOM, CLASSROOM OR OFFICE WITH PICTURES, POSTERS, ART-WORK AND OTHER POSITIVE IMAGES THAT UPLIFT YOU. ------------------------------ "He deserves Paradise who can make his companions laugh." ....-Quote from the Holy Qur'an LAUGHTER HAS THE POWER TO HEAL.... --# STEP SIX--- UNIVERSAL LAWS...Once we begin to understand the workings of the mind, the next step toward living a successful life is to learn about the universal laws...or "Laws of Life." As we begin to understand these laws and apply them, anything we want can be created. They are the same laws that govern Nature and cause living things to manifest. The ultimate source of all Creation is divine Spirit. This Universe where we live operates based upon laws. Here are 5 examples: *"The Law of UNITY"--- Everything in the universe is connected. All came from ONE source. *"The Law of GIVING & RECEIVING"--- We must be willing to give, in order to receive the abundance of the Universe in our lives. *"The Law of CAUSE & EFFECT"---- For everything that happens (effect)--- there was something that caused it. *"The Law of RECIPROCITY"--- Treat Others As you wish to be Treated. Some refer to this Law as "The Golden Rule." This is another Universal Law that relates to the idea that you will get back that which you put out. .....The BIBLE states it this way--- "You will reap what you sow." Some people explain this law this way: "What goes around, come around...." *"The Law of DHARMA"--- which says that we all have a purpose. The Ultimate Goal is to find one's Purpose in life and to blend that with service to others. ULTIMATELY --ALL OF THESE LAWS ARE BASED UPON THE SUPREME LAW OF LOVE. GOD IS LOVE. "Whatever Heaven ordains is best..." |
| --- DOES ASTROLOGY EFFECT US??.. |
| MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT ASTROLOGY is a living science that actually effects and helps determine our behavior. True science or not???--- It is a fact that those who have studied "astrology" in depth have found many common patterns of behavior among people born on certain dates.... Most "experts" in this field of Astrology do NOT use it so much to try to predict one's FATE or the future or to direct one's life as if we have no choices, --- but rather they use it to help analyze and assess one's entire personality, behavior patterns, and character. It has been well documented in books that some people born under certain Sun Signs do better in certain jobs or occupations that in others. For instance--- Capricorns are well-known to be enterprising, business-minded people. They are the "money-sign" of the Zodiac. Many Capricorns, such as Richard Nixon, and Muhammad Ali----became very wealthy and famous. FOR EXAMPLE.... Each Sun Sign is classified into the following groups... AIR-=Mental WATER= Emotional EARTH= Practical FIRE= Ambitious The following are some of the CHARACTERISTICS that people born under these Sun Signs have talents and personality traits exhibited in regards to.... for example= " doing business"---- *ARIES---- Fire sign...aggressive; has new ideas; ...likes to become an authority or expert. *TAURUS---- Earth sign... likes a single focus & is hard-worker. *GEMINI--- Air sign.... Can do several things simultaneously. *CANCER--- Water sign..... Seeks security & stability in home-life. * LEO----Fire sign..... Social worker-types; likes to help others; make good interpreters. * VIRGO--- Earth sign..... Meticulous, adaptable, -- like cleanliness; enterprising. * LIBRA--- Air sign..... A negotiator for large groups * SCORPIO---- Water sign.... Intense; like to lead; ..... goal oriented & driven to success. * SAGITTARIUS---- Fire sign.... Analytical minded, tend to enter the professions--such as Law or Psychology; generous & philosophical. * CAPRICORN--- Earth sign.... Very strong, intelligent; good organizers;... enterprising....loves to make money. * AQUARIUS----Air sign.... Natural teachers/ trainers * PISCES--- Water sign.... Extremely sensitive; generous; .... make good models, artists, decorators, etc. =============================================== NOTE: The Study of ASTROLOGY is another vehicle that we can use to help assess our own character, behaviors and possibly to learn to build upon our best qualities. ============================================ FOR MORE DETAILS ON MAKING MONEY--- GO TO: http://www.maxpages.com/moneytalks IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN KNOWING MORE ABOUT HEALTH, HERBS, OXYGEN BARS, BOOKS, VIDEOS, or any similar topics.... --- CONTACT US BY MAIL and send a self-address stamped envelope (SASE) to= EARTH'S PHARMACY c/o M.
